Chapter 17 | Part 1
Gu Feining lay on the bed and thought about the past. She had once hoped for the two of them to break up. At that time, she was young and thought if the two of them broke up, she would feel happy.
Now that she thought about it again, rather than them breaking up, wouldn’t it be better if the two of them stayed together for a long time?
Miao Yi said Yuan Jinyan was having a rough time recently. Because the drama he had invested in had some problems, it was stuck in his hands for almost two years, and he was having trouble selling it. He was still preparing for the new drama so he didn’t have much cash on hand. It was even difficult for him to keep his company running.
These two years, Mi Ke kept filming bad dramas. She liked to act in roles where the female lead was innocent and sweet but the audiences’ tastes had long changed. Her family’s company gave her all the good resources, and all the celebrities under that company have left if they could. There was not a single celebrity left that was able to hold up the company.
Miao Yi scoffed. How far could a family-owned company like that go? Their daughter could not make it, and yet, they were unwilling to support other celebrities. Shouldn’t they at least make one of their celebrities popular to make money they can spend on their daughter? Now, they couldn’t even get resources.
Yuan Jinyan probably saw that no more benefits could be reaped from staying with Mi Ke and had separated from her.
There was no way good things like that would exist in the world. In the past, he had taken her resources so happily, and now he wanted to dump her? This kind of person was too extremely self-serving.
Mi Ke probably didn’t want to break up, refusing to let go. It seemed that the two of them had even signed a contract when they got together. Only Mi Ke could initiate the breakup. Thus, even if Yuan Jinyan wanted to break up, he wouldn’t dare to announce it publicly.
It could be seen from this how desperate Yuan Jinyan was to climb the social ladder. He had even been willing to agree to this sort of condition.
Gu Feining hadn’t made a sound this whole time, while Miao Yi was getting more and more agitated. Miao Yi thought Gu Feining was immersed in her memories and unable to snap out of them. She waited for a long time but Gu Feining did not respond, so she leaned over to take a look only to find Gu Feining had long fallen asleep.
When Miao Yi reached out to flick her forehead, Gu Feining slapped her hand away. Gu Feining muttered that she had filming tomorrow before turning around to continue sleeping.
It seemed like even if Yuan Jinyan completely fell to rock-bottom today, it was not as important as Gu Feining needing to film tomorrow.
Gu Feining had truly put in a lot of effort for this variety show. Besides researching how to act in variety shows, she also wanted to try her best to teach the contestants who chose her, even if they’d chosen her because fewer people were trying out for her team.
The next day, Gu Feining woke up very early. Before they started filming, she went to take a look at the contestants. They probably hadn’t expected Gu Feining to come so early.
Actually, when there were no cameras, she wasn’t obligated to visit them. But not only did she visit, she even brought breakfast for everyone.
Gu Feining joined them for breakfast. She didn’t have much time to chat with the contestants while eating. Even so, she tried her best, teaching whatever she could. If the contestants were willing to work hard, she would come over to find them after they were done filming.
Miao Yi watched from the side. Gu Feining was the same as how she usually was. As long as it was something that concerned her, she would do her best.
The filming started in the afternoon so Gu Feining spent the whole morning with the contestants.
These girls were all very young, around eighteen to twenty years old. Every single one of them were youthful and pretty.
Although there would only be one female lead, if their performance was outstanding, they might get an offer from the company that owns the video platform or Le Cheng.
The production team allowed a few choices to everyone, allowing the contestants to choose their teams and perform.
Gu Feining seriously viewed the performance of each group. There were good performances and bad performances. If she could help them change some things, she helped them. If she could teach them, she taught them one by one. Miao Yi quietly stood by the side. She didn’t have much interest in these enthusiastic girls, but when she saw the enthusiastic Gu Feining, she expressed her helplessness.
This fellow looked hard to get along with and did not know how to joke around. She was even a little old-fashioned, with a maturity that was completely inconsistent with her age.
But the truth was, her inner self was full of enthusiasm. As long as it was not affairs of the heart, she would be completely committed.
When she thought about this, she felt angry. If it weren’t for Yuan Jinyan, that b*stard, perhaps Gu Feining would even have children by now.
Gu Feining was busy till noon and even forgot to eat. She felt like she herself had become young, interacting with these young people.
When they returned to their senses, all the girls were extremely hungry. Gu Feining felt a little embarrassed and had wanted to ask the staff to help buy lunch for everyone, but the cute girls expressed they could eat in the canteen. They invited Gu Feining to come along with them.
Gu Feining went to look for Xiao Mang, but someone said that someone had called Xiao Mang and she left. Thus, Gu Feining decided to head to the canteen and eat with the girls without waiting for her.
It was just a meal, and Gu Feining was not very picky. However, when she turned around, she saw Shi Xi, who was about to enter the room. He was holding a lunch box, a bag, and a gift box with a pink ribbon in his hands, which stirred up people’s imaginations.
Miao Yi was following behind Gu Feining and had wanted to snatch her away to stop her from going crazy with those young girls when she saw Shi Xi blocking the doorway with a bunch of things.
The girls excitedly huddled around, making a lot of noise as they joked around. All of them wanted to stare at Shi Xi but did not dare to. It was extremely cute.
Shi Xi smiled and told everyone, “I brought Teacher Gu’s food, she won’t be going to the canteen to eat with you guys.”
He had probably heard the conversation in the training room just now. He was someone who did not like to smile much so that smile made the group of girls want to wrap Gu Feining up and just gift her to him.
It would be rude if Gu Feining embarrassed Shi Xi in front of everyone and so she could only let everyone leave first. Miao Yi looked at Gu Feining, her expression full of excitement. Her gaze kept flitting to Shi Xi.
Gu Feining used her gaze to signal to Miao Yi, asking her to leave quickly and to stop thinking of staying behind to listen to gossip.
Miao Yi had wanted to continue intruding on them but her phone rang suddenly. When she saw the screen, she ran off quickly.
Then only Gu Feining and Shi Xi were left in the large training room, instantly making Gu Feining uneasy. Especially since she had been bullied by this person for no reason yesterday.
When she thought about how she was older than him but was getting suppressed in all areas, she felt angry.
Shi Xi motioned for her to come over and handed over the gift box he was holding. “The staff said this is something the fans gave you. I happened to pass by, so I brought it over.”
Gu Feining was a little puzzled. Fans were giving her presents? It wasn’t like she hadn’t received presents from her fans before, but normally, they tended to be hand-made. She had once told her fans that there was no need for them to give her presents. If they really liked her, it was enough for them to watch her works. Her old fans mostly knew about her habits, thus they would normally write letters or give handmade gifts.
This beautifully wrapped gift was obviously not her fans’ usual style.
As soon as Gu Feining opened it, she understood. This was a gift that Shi Xi’s fans had prepared for the mentors.
Shi Xi’s fans knew he was filming today for the show and had prepared quite a few things to support him. Besides the snacks and drinks for the staff, they had also prepared a beautiful gift for each mentor.
In Gu Feining’s large gift box, besides Shi Xi’s merchandise, Gu Feining had also received a set of high-grade cosmetic products. The fans of popular idols were truly rich. Above the gifts were a card and a small book.
“This is something your fans gave me.”
Gu Feining passed the card to Shi Xi so he could take a look. The fans had probably asked the staff to pass it to her, and when Shi Xi saw it, he had brought it along.
Shi Xi was helping her open the lunchbox. He took the card and stuffed the lunchbox into her hand. He took a look at the card, picked up the small booklet above the gifts, and opened it to take a look. It was information about him. Shi Xi lamented that, as expected, his fans were even more thoughtful than he was.
“Since this was gifted by the fans, you should use it properly. You should also spend more time looking at the things they give you.”
He specially pressed the booklet above the card and placed it back onto the box.
Gu Feining agreed and sat down to eat, lowering her head. She started thinking about how to thank Shi Xi’s fans. Would posting a Weibo be too ostentatious? She would wait and see if the other mentors posted on Weibo before making a decision.
Seeing how Gu Feining was distracted, Shi Xi was very curious. “What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?”
Gu Feining answered, “I was thinking about how to thank your fans.”
“That’s easy.’ Shi Xi sat by the table, next to Gu Feining. “You can just thank me, I’ll help you thank the fans.”
“How do I thank you?” Gu Feining raised her head to look at Shi Xi.
Gu Feining’s completely unguarded expression caused Shi Xi to be unable to control himself and bend down, slowly getting closer to her.
This alerted Gu Feining and she reacted quickly, instantly throwing her chopsticks down and covering her mouth. She then glared at Shi Xi. It was so cute that he couldn’t help but smile.
