......
The next day.
The alarm bell rang urgently in the room.
Hao Yun opened her eyes, which were clear, and got out of bed to turn on the light and wash up. When she came out, she found that Luo Shimiao was still sleeping.
"Miaomiao, it's time to get up."
Luo Shimiao sat up for a second, then lay back down: "I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a little longer."
"I went to bed early last night, so I didn't even know when you got back."
"I didn't come back late, I just went to bed late."
Hao Yun noticed a pair of rings on the table, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "This is the first time I've seen this style. It's quite unique and suits your style very well."
Speaking of the ring, Luo Shimiao gradually regained consciousness, opened her eyes and looked at it: "It will be perfect if I sand it a little more." She rolled off the bed, propped herself up on the edge of the bed, and put on cotton slippers for her fair feet.
"Today is the last day of the meditation retreat, and it is also a very meaningful day."
Hao Yun chuckled, thinking of the nickname netizens had given her: "It's truly significant. Our little monkey has been suppressed for five days, and it can finally come out of the mountains."
Luo Shimiao didn't explain, but winked at her and went to the balcony to collect the clothes. He took down the hanger, draped his robe over his shoulder, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
While brushing her teeth, she noticed Hao Yun's cosmetics on the table, and her raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttered.
Turning to the door, she said, "Sister Yun, I'd like to use your cosmetics."
Use it freely.
Okay, thank you.
More than twenty minutes later.
Seeing that she hadn't come out yet, Hao Yun reminded her, "Miaomiao, we should go."
"Alright, alright."
The bathroom door opened, and Luo Shimiao appeared in the doorway, his hands behind his back, and asked, "How was it?"
"Beauty, beauty beyond words." Hao Yun stared at her intently.
Her skin was fair and radiant, her eyebrows were arched, and her bright, expressive eyes seemed to speak volumes. Her eyes and brows exuded a lively and playful charm.
Her pale pink lips curved into a smile; she was a picture of beauty just standing there.
True beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin, and she possesses both.
She wondered if it was the makeup, but Luo Shimiao seemed a little different today, with an added touch of gentleness.
"Hahaha." Luo Shimiao laughed with her hands on her hips: "I think I look so beautiful too. If I look in the mirror one more time, I'll fall in love with myself."
Hao Yun: "..." The filter shattered. Okay, it was just her imagination. Luo Shimiao was still the same Luo Shimiao, unchanged at all.
"Sister Yun, wait for me a moment." She ran to the table, picked up the ring and stuffed it under the sheet, then quickly changed her shoes.
"Okay, let's go."
Upon opening the door, I saw the photographer, director, and other staff members downstairs. The director's face was grim, his expression terribly dark, and the anger between his brows seemed ready to explode at any moment.
The two walked to the stairwell, and the door to the room next to the stairs opened, and Cao Lu came out.
"Good morning~" Hao Yun greeted politely.
Cao Lu replied calmly, "Good morning."
The three of them went down to the first floor, and Xu Xingliang, who lived in the dormitory across the street, also came over.
Seeing that the cameraman was standing still and his camera wasn't on, Cao Lu couldn't help but ask, "Director Pan, are we having a meeting today too?"
Pan Guohua shook his head: "No." He turned his gaze to Luo Shimiao: "Shimiao, I'm really sorry about what happened last night. If I didn't owe her agent a favor, I would never have agreed to let her appear on the show."
"It's also my fault for misjudging people, which is why a scoundrel like Huang Jie appeared in the team. I want to apologize to you here."
Last night, just as he was about to go to sleep, his assistant rushed over to tell him about the live stream. He was both angry and scared after hearing it. He cursed Bai Yunqing's ancestors in his mind; he had warned her before, but she had completely ignored him.
He was also afraid that Luo Shimiao would hold a grudge against her, since he had given his approval for Bai Yunqing to appear on the show. Her powerful family background kept him tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Luo Shimiao said casually, "Director Pan's mistake wasn't yours. You can only know a person's face, not their heart. Don't take it to heart. Let's start the broadcast." Once it's over, she'll be able to see him.
Pan Guohua's heart skipped a beat. Everyone in the industry called Luo Shimiao a "poisonous woman," and anyone who offended her would be verbally abused mercilessly. He was prepared to be scolded, but she said that it wasn't his fault and he shouldn't take it to heart.
"Hey!" Luo Shimiao raised his right hand and waved it back and forth in front of the director a few times: "Director, you forgot to close the door."
"Huh?" He snapped out of his daze and hurriedly covered his crotch with his hand. Then he realized something was wrong; he was wearing casual pants with an elastic waistband today, so where would a zipper come from?
"You naughty child! You scared me to death."
Luo Shimiao raised an eyebrow. Leaving his fly undone was at most a little embarrassing, not something to be astonished as that. A guess popped into his mind.
"Director Pan, you're not wearing underwear, are you?"
Pan Guohua's face flushed red from head to neck: "Of course I'll wear it. Alright, alright, let's get started."
Seeing his reaction, everyone knew the correct answer.
It turns out that Director Pan doesn't like wearing underwear.
With the director giving the order, the cameramen sprang into action.
Xu Xingliang asked, "Director Pan, what happened last night?"
Cao Lu noticed that someone was missing: "Could it be that Bai Yunqing did something again?"
Upon hearing this name, Pan Guohua's earlier embarrassment vanished: "You'll see when the broadcast starts; I don't want to mention this person now."
The two exchanged a glance; it seemed something big had happened last night.
On the way to the meditation hall, Hao Yun couldn't help but ask Luo Shimiao.
Luo Shimiao briefly recounted what had happened.
"Despicable! Vicious!" Hao Yun's face turned red with anger after hearing this. "She deserves what she got for this!"
"Sister Yun, there's no need to get angry over someone with a brain fart like that. It's not worth it."
"She's insane! You can still stay calm; I would have gone crazy by now."
What they didn't know was that at midnight, a whole bunch of dirt on Bai Yunqing was exposed online.
She bullied her peers, harassed her high school classmates, and caused one of them to develop depression, nearly losing her life. She also falsified medical records; she was never actually diagnosed with depression, and the whole thing was a self-directed act.
Every piece of dirt was accompanied by pictures and evidence, and this "hammer" struck Bai Yunqing and her company's public relations team hard.
She was met with a barrage of criticism online, and her fans unfollowed her overnight. Her company immediately abandoned her, announcing the termination of their contract that same day and vowing never to work with her again.
Bai Yunqing couldn't accept reality. She went to the company and caused a scene, but when that failed, she went to her lover's place. Her family, seeing her acting erratically, sent her to a mental hospital. She did indeed go insane, but that's another story.
