Mr. Xixi.

The person carried herself with a mien different from Mr. Xixi. Yet, Ye Weiyang was reminded right away of Mr. Xixi, her mentor in life whom she most respected and was grateful for.

Shen Xi smiled and greeted them.

Cheerfully looking at Shen Xi, Liu Qianyu was not a stranger as she asked, “Is your brother home?”

Shen Xi replied, “Yes.”

Song Wenye’s face flushed.

Among the girls, some cleared their throat and a few caught in stifled laughter, while others pretended to chat with those beside them. In short, no one looked Song Wenye’s way.

Ji Jingyan offered to help Song Wenye with her luggage.

Guan Rou pulled her back and tipped her the wink before whispering, “Don’t. Lil’ Ye will be staying the night there.”

“Stop with all the crazy thinking.” Upset, Song Wenye yelled with a blushing face. “I’m going to Xixi’s place, not for Yu Yuanxi!”

“Got it, got it.”

Song Wenye’s stubborn feat saw the lot exchanging glances. Knowing when to stop, they jostled one another into the lift.

Guan Rou waved her arm at Song Wenye. “Have fun at dinner. Don’t rush back.”

Tong Kejun joined in on the fun. “You don’t have to come back if you don’t want to.”

They were granted two days of rest anyway.

It was not known how long Yu Yuanxi’s break was. Since he was a student at Capital University, he would have to report at the school and begin his military training.

Song Wenye gnashed her teeth. The lift was shut before she could say anything. She turned to Shen Xi and explained, “Trust me, Xixi. They’re just babbling nonsense.”

Shen Xi grinned without a word.

Feeling sore, Song Wenye crankily shouted, “I’m serious. There’s nothing going on between me and Yu Yuanxi!”

With a lot of people bustling in the ground-floor lobby of the company, many gave her a weird look but were curious to gossip.

The employees of the company had some knowledge about their artists. Yu Yuanxi was also working in Cosmos Entertainment. Were they dating?

Shen Xi dragged her out of there. “You’re an idol. You might want to be conscious of your image.”

Song Wenye looked at the lift that had already gone up before glancing at the suitcase in hand. Not bothered to put away her luggage, she pulled her suitcase to go with Shen Xi.

Back in the lift, Ye Weiyang turned to the rest of the girl. “Do you think Lil’ Ye’s friend looks familiar?”

Tong Kejun nodded. “Yes. Hadn’t we seen her dancing video last week? She’s a great dancer. I can’t keep up.”

“That’s right.” Liu Qianyu bobbed her head in agreement. She was puzzled though. “Say, why do you think she’s not in showbiz? Her looks and talents alone would make her a big star. She can conquer the entertainment world with her beauty.”

This was the honest truth. Shen Xi was a sight to behold so much so her heart was fluttering, let alone a man’s.

“She’s not just beautiful, but she’s also a nerd, do you know that? She’s the top achiever in science for the capital’s National College Entrance Examination.” Ji Jingyan expressed her envy. This was why people should not compare with one another as it would be a blow that was hard to swallow.

By the way things were progressing, Ye Weiyang knew her questions were going nowhere. With an envious and admiring look on her face, she listened to the group praising Shen Xi.

Lil’ Ye’s friend, Shen Xi, was gifted while Mr. Xixi was a nationally recognized genius. However, did they not pick up that Mr. Xixi’s dancing style was similar to Shen Xi?

Since even she was doubting her gut feeling, Ye Weiyang was not going to share her thoughts with the group.

The person in question, Shen Xi, was caught in a sneezing spell as she made her way out of the company.

Song Wenye nervously handed her a tissue. “Did you catch a cold?”

Shen Xi rubbed her nose. “Someone misses me.”

Gazing at her, Song Wenye was feeling the blues and sighed. “It must be Chu Ying and the rest. I couldn’t even join the last get-together and have no idea when the next one will be held.”

Shen Xi soothed her. “Don’t worry. They’d have to come home for the new year.”

Song Wenye was supposed to attend the International Class’ last get-together but had to miss it as work came up at the last minute.

“I feel something’s missing with Alpha Xu gone.” Song Wenye was down in the dumps. Everyone in their class, apart from her and Xixi, had gone abroad for their studies.

It did not matter to Shen Xi where she was studying since she had good grades. She was the top achiever in science and enrolled at Capital University, first in her class.

What about her? Song Wenye did not participate in the National College Entrance Examination. Since these coming years were the best time to make a career in showbiz, she could not possibly leave to study abroad.

“Don’t you have Yu Yuanxi?” Rarely ever seeing Song Wenye so gloomy, Shen Xi teased her to lighten the mood. Song Wenye was about to tear into her when she added. “And me!”

Song Wenye was finally pleased. “That’s more like it.”

The pair hailed a cab and went home since the company did not prepare a car for them.

Shen Xi was the type not to look for people if nobody came looking for her. No matter how close of a friend, she would not initiate contact if nothing was the matter.

It was the same for group chats. She barely made an appearance if no one specially tagged her.

Song Wenye was the exact opposite. She did not feel right to stay away from the chats. It did not take long before she became a bunch of sour grapes. “Alpha Xu went to Fu Qingxuan’s place today.”

Shen Xi returned her a strange look. What was wrong with that? Alpha Xu’s school was where the Fu family was living. There was nothing out of the ordinary for nice people like Madam Fu and Uncle Jin Yu to invite Alpha Xu for a meal.

“I want to go too.” Song Wenye whined while showing Shen Xi the photos. She moaned, “Look. Qingye is there too. When can I ever have the pleasure to have dinner with him?”

The Fu brothers were the definition of looks and poise. By right, Alpha Xu was also a hunk. However, the comparison did him no good as Alpha Xu became the ugliest in the group photo.

Shen Xi took a sweeping glance at the Fu family. Fu Junqiu was the only one missing in the photograph. The others smiled at the camera while Fu Qingli graced his aloof and noble presence with a side profile, prompting Shen Xi to avert her gaze.

Song Wenye was still feeling envious, wishing she could get in there and be in the picture. With Shen Xi looking out the window and keeping to herself, Song Wenye voiced her disgruntlement. “Do you know who you look like now? The expression and that attitude of yours are identical to Fu Qingli.”

She was aware that Shen Xi had a problem with Fu Qingli.

“Say that again?” Furrowing her brows, Shen Xi did not hide the coldness and contempt in her eyes. Who was the same as him?!

She was simply not in the mood to talk because she saw Fu Qingli’s face.

“Yes, that’s it. Don’t move. Hold still. Let me snap a photo to show you.” Song Wenye got right to take a picture..
