Shi Xi wasn't nervous, but she found it a little funny that Lu Wancheng hadn't given her the script.
I never expected her to resort to such underhanded tactics.
That's really funny.
The two were interviewed by Apple Daily.
The reporter was a young woman who first asked a few ordinary, mundane questions according to the script, such as, "Describe the female lead, Tian Lan, in one sentence."
Shi Xi: "A sophisticated and intelligent psychologist."
The female reporter was stunned for a moment, then pressed on, "You're the sweet type, can you handle a role like this?"
“Okay.” Shi Xi nodded, then, as if remembering something, crossed her arms in front of her chest. “To clarify, I’m not a sweet girl, I’m a mature woman.”
After the interview aired, Shi Xi's GIF was captured and made into a widely circulated image.
Netizens were absolutely laughing their heads off:
"If I weren't a fan, I would have believed it."
"Does Shi Xi have some kind of misperception about herself? Hahaha, a joke to kick off the new year: Shi Xi is not a sweet girl."
"Of course Xixi isn't a sweet girl, Xixi is my precious daughter~ Awoo~~"
Fans were laughing so hard their heads almost fell off when they saw their daughter trying so hard to get rid of the "sweet girl" label.
Haters seized on this point and started attacking Shi Xi: "Is Shi Xi trying to cultivate a mature, sophisticated image? Doesn't she even know if she's qualified?"
Fans: "Even haters know that Shi Xi is sweet, hahaha."
"With so much attention from haters towards my Xixi, could it be that I'm secretly gay?"
"Huh? Xixi has a gentle personality, but that doesn't mean she can't play a mature woman! Her previous cameo as a courtesan was beautiful, poised, and alluring. What does that have to do with her being a gentle girl?"
"Are you getting anxious now that you see our Xixi is going to play the female lead? Hehehe."
Hater: [I used to quite like Shi Xi, but her fans are such a turn-off.]
Fan: "Hehe."
Then block and mute them all in one go.
No matter how much the haters jump around, it doesn't stop the fans from continuing to like Shi Xi.
Although it was just a short interview, Shi Xi's interesting personality led fans to watch it repeatedly.

After the interview, Shi Xi received a call from Tao Yuxuan.
Tao Yuxuan: "My family is throwing me a birthday party. Remember to come over the day after tomorrow."
Shi Xi was silent for a moment, then asked, "I remember your birthday is in a month, right?"
I celebrate my birthday according to the Gregorian calendar.
"Do we have to go through the lunar calendar again? You don't just want to receive more gifts, do you?" Shi Xi asked suspiciously.
Tao Yuxuan: "...I'll send you the invitation. Remember to dress formally."
They even prepared invitations?
It seems like they've made quite a big fuss about it.
Should we buy a new outfit?
Shi Xi thought that she needed to treat herself to a new outfit after working for so long.
That afternoon, and into the evening, she didn't have any scenes to film.
Zhu Lin, however, knew that Shi Xi was going to attend a banquet, and showed Shi Xi a lot of the latest seasonal products.
Zhu Lin pulled out a handbag and enthusiastically recommended it, saying, "This diamond bag was specially designed for evening events! It's so beautiful!"
"Is it really that good-looking?" Shi Xi glanced at it.
It's just an ordinary bag covered in rhinestones.
"If it weren't for the fact that it costs over 300,000, I would have bought it myself." Zhu Lin looked at it with a mix of heartache and undisguised admiration. "It's studded with hundreds of diamonds! If you took this bag to a banquet, you'd be the most dazzling person there!"
Shi Xi glanced at it again, thinking about how dazzling this bag would be at the banquet.
It does look quite good.
Zhu Lin continued with a sigh, "Besides, having money isn't enough; only VIP members are eligible to purchase this."
