How is that possible?!
She clearly tampered with the stringers!
Why does Ning Yu play so smoothly?
Tao Yuxuan was stunned and stood there.
Shi Xi, who witnessed everything, clapped silently, thinking to herself, "Don't even think about framing the female lead."
it's useless.
Tao Yuxuan, unconvinced, stepped forward and exclaimed, "The sound of this guzheng is truly wonderful."
Ning Yu stood up. "Mm."
Tao Yuxuan reached out and plucked a string at the tampered bridge.
"Boom——"
The bridge snapped open instantly, and the strings echoed.
The situation instantly became awkward.
Shi Xi pretended nothing had happened and said, "Take the zither away, the banquet will continue."
Ning Yu chuckled, her icy eyes sweeping over Tao Yuxuan and Shi Xi, pausing slightly before shifting her gaze away.
Such a low-level framing tactic, it must have been really hard for them...?
Ning Yu knew that Tao Yuxuan must have been involved in tampering with the zither.
Was Shi Xi involved as well?
The banquet proceeded as planned.
Thanks to Tao Yuxuan's encouragement, the guests gained a deeper understanding of Ning Yu.
"I didn't expect Ning Yu to be so beautiful and able to play such a beautiful tune."
"To be able to play such a beautiful piano, one must be quite good at studying."
"She went to No. 13 Middle School, so she probably only learned the guzheng temporarily."
"What does it matter if I study well or not? The Shi family can afford to support me anyway."
Shi Xi heard the whispers around her and felt extremely bored.
She's the female lead, after all.
A genius!
Do you know what a genius is?!
Tao Yuxuan, standing next to Shi Xi, said indignantly, "You go to Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School, while she goes to No. 13 Middle School. How could she possibly be better than you?"
"Alright, how she does on the exam is none of our business. Stop bothering her," Shi Xi reminded her.
If it weren't for the fact that they were both supporting actresses, Shi Xi wouldn't have bothered to remind her.
"You're just too kind, that's why others take advantage of you," Tao Yuxuan said with heartache.
Shi Xi: ?
Don't talk like that! I don't want to be seen as a hypocrite!
When Shi Xi connected the context, she realized that she seemed to be a real "white lotus" female supporting character.
Waaaaah.
"I'm going to rest for a while, what about you?" Shi Xi wondered how she could break off her friendship with Tao Yuxuan.
She can no longer stay with the cannon fodder female supporting character.
Otherwise, they'll become cannon fodder sooner or later!
"I'll go with you." Tao Yuxuan affectionately linked arms with Shi Xi, like best friends.
Shi Xi: ...
Forget it, it's better to keep the cannon fodder female supporting character in front of me than to make her go find the female lead.
Shi Xi went straight back to her room and started rummaging through her things.
"What are you looking for?" Tao Yuxuan asked.
"Snacks, I'm starving." Shi Xi rummaged through the drawers, trying to find something to eat.
During the banquet, Han Chuan kept a close eye on her, afraid that she would eat a single calorie-rich food.
"The snacks should all be in the living room; you never keep these in your room." Tao Yuxuan, as expected of the original owner's best friend, knew this perfectly well.
Shi Xi lay on the sofa, feeling like she was living a life worse than death.
Tao Yuxuan whispered, "Xixi, are you just going to stand by and watch Ning Yu take your things away little by little?"
Shi Xi looked at the ceiling. "These originally belonged to her. I just returned them to her."
Tao Yuxuan was speechless, clearly not expecting Shi Xi to say that.
“But you’ve been with the Shi family for 18 years! You and Sheng Yan grew up together, you can’t just give Sheng Yan away like that, can you?” Tao Yuxuan pondered for a moment, then said, “At least you should own some shares in the company or something to secure your future, right?”
Shi Xi's heart tightened when she heard the first "at least".
Hearing the second "at least" makes me want to just die on the spot.
