  Lin Ru waited for a long time, but no one called to tell her who had ruined Xiao Jinning’s advertisement endorsement and took it away. She became furious.

  Xiao Jinning was not in good condition on the set either. Firstly, she didn’t expect that He Wanyi, who always stood aloof from worldly strife, would openly mock her. Moreover, she said in front of so many people that her second brother didn’t think her a suitable endorser for the Magic Butterfly series, and then she really got a call asking for a cancellation of the agreement.

  After shooting several scenes, she didn’t feel particularly good. The assistant director, who was watching her shoot, noticed that she was not in good shape. Considering that she was now also an A-lister, and had the Xiao Family and the Liu Family behind her, he could only gently ask her to take a break in the rest area.

  It was just what Xiao Jinning wanted, so she left the shooting area and went straight to Yao Na. “What’s going on? What did my mother say?”


  Yao Na hesitated, but still said to Xiao Jinning fawningly, “Jinning, please don’t worry. President Lin is still communicating with OLS. He Wanning is just a small advertising director. I don’t think he can defy the order of the board of directors. If the board doesn’t allow him to change the endorser, he won’t dare to. President Lin has asked someone to inquire about the endorsement, and it seems that he hasn’t found a new model yet. I don’t think the board of their company will let him mess things up.”


  Hearing this, Xiao Jinning didn’t look better. She said in a low voice, “You can also use your connections to find information and give me an answer as soon as possible. I don’t want to be kept in the dark!”


  With that, she walked towards He Wanyi. Seeing her approach, He Wanyi raised her eyebrows and was about to stand up when Ning Yan shouted, “He Wanyi, come here and shoot your scenes.”


  Hearing this, Xiao Jinning paused abruptly and looked incredulously at Ning Yan, her eyes filled with surprise. Why would Ning Yan try to protect He Wanyi?!

  He Wanyi was also speechless. Was Ning Yan afraid that she would be at a disadvantage when confronting Xiao Jinning? Come on, Xiao Jinning had never won against her, okay?

  Ning Yan seemed to be able to read her mind. He snorted and said, “This is my project. Don’t quarrel or fight in front of me! No matter what kind of grudge you bear against each other, solve it when you’re away from the studio! Don’t mess up with my project!”


  He spoke very loudly. His words were meant to be heard by Xiao Jinning, even though he was looking at He Wanyi.

  He Wanyi was used to his style of doing things, so she merely shrugged and started acting.

  He Wanyi had always been an actress of true ability, and no matter what she had just experienced, she could get into role very quickly……

  Tang Xi was in a daze until school was over. Feeling finally relieved, she packed her school bag and was about to leave when suddenly, a man stood in her way before her desk. She looked up at the ‘little fresh meat’ (Note: it means handsome young man) in front of her eyes and gave him a most polite smile. “Classmate, what’s up?”


  Hearing her question, the male student standing in front of her blushed. Tang Xi looked at him questioningly and his face turned redder as he stuttered, “Student Xiao Rou, I…… I……”


  “Well, my brother has come to pick me up. I have to go now!” Realizing what the male student was going to say, Tang Xi turned around and was about to run away.

  “I don’t know how to solve this mathematical problem. Can you help me?” The boy suddenly boldly reached out his arm and caught Tang Xi. He then put the math textbook on the table and stuttered, “I’ve seen the math problem that the teacher asked you to do on the blackboard today in our textbook, but we haven’t studied that part. I studied it for a long time, but still failed to solve it. Since you solved it perfectly, can you tell me how to do it?”


  After saying the first sentence, the boy found it much easier to say what came next, so he poured out all the words in his mind.

  Tang Xi was relieved to hear that and felt a little embarrassed. She had thought he was going to confess his love to her, but it turned out that he had just wanted to ask her how to solve a math problem……

  Seeing him being shy and stuttering, she had misunderstood him.

  Fortunately, she just said she wanted to leave instead of directly rejecting his love; otherwise, she would have been really embarrassed!

  Tang Xi took a pen and asked the boy which problem it was. The male student scratched his head, coyly opened the math book, and showed the problem to Tang Xi. Tang Xi nodded, lowered her head and began to write the detailed answer on a paper. A minute later, Tang Xi put down the pen and said, “It’s done. The steps are here. You should be able to understand it after reading it several times. I have to go. Bye.”


  With that, Tang Xi picked up her school bag and walked out.

  “Student Xiao Rou, thank you.” The boy looked at Tang Xi with a red face. “My name is Ning Ke. Can we be friends?”


  Xiao Rou chuckled and replied with a nod, “Sure.”


  Ning Ke’s face turned even redder. He scratched his head, walked up to her holding his book and smiled, saying, “You’re the smartest girl I’ve ever met.”


  Tang Xi simpered. It seemed that this Ning Ke was going to walk with her.

  As she expected, Ning Ke walked out of the school with her. The two of them went out together, and the other students were also in twos or threes. However, seeing them walking together, the students looked as if they had sighted a monster and started to whisper to each other.

  “Isn’t that Ning Ke? I never saw him initiate a conversation with people before!”


  “Did the sun rise in the west today? Ning Ke talks to a person other than teachers!”


  “Isn’t that the girl who forced Ms. Cao out today?”


  “What are you thinking? A lad would like to woo a lass with pretty looks. There is no proof that Ning Ke is a gay. He just didn’t meet a girl he liked before. Besides, any man would like this girl……”


  “She is beautiful, but is too skinny and has a boyish figure…… I still prefer my goddess, Jinning,” a man said longingly. “My goddess Jinning is the most perfect girl in the world. She has a perfect body and a perfect face, and the game she endorsed recently was even more perfect!”


  A girl said with disdain, “Well, what you wanted to say is actually the last part, right?”


  “Shut up!”


  “Although Xiao Jinning is beautiful, she is obviously no match for Xiao Rou. Xiao Rou is stunningly beautiful, albeit still too young……”


  Hearing their blatant discussion, Tang Xi was speechless. Didn’t they notice she was listening to them?

  And there were so many stars in the country. Why did they happen to pick Xiao Jinning to compare with her?

  Tang Xi suddenly turned her head to these people and smiled at them. The boy who was walking with the two girls suddenly paused and covered his heart with his hand as he said, “Oh, what should I do? I seem to have been hit by a cupid’s arrow.”
