As soon as Zhou Siyang entered the restaurant, he quickly scanned the area. Finally, he saw Shiyin, who was lowering her head and happily devouring her food, by the wall.

Coincidentally, Xia Ling chose a seat next to Shiyin. Zhou Siyang stared at Shiyin, who was eating with gusto, and unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

When he found her outside the program group, he happened to hear Meng Ran say she was going to take her to eat hairy crabs. So, when Xia Ling was about to go to a Western restaurant for dinner with him, he suddenly said he wanted to eat hairy crabs.

Thus, they came here.

Zhou Siyang walked over and stopped beside Shiyin. Meng Ran and Xiaomeng were surprised to see him. Meng Ran greeted him politely, “What a coincidence, Zhou Shao, are you also here to eat hairy crabs?”

Zhou Siyang smiled, “Isn’t hairy crab a specialty of Qingyang? I came to try it.”

Meng Ran nodded slightly and smiled naturally, replying to Zhou Siyang, “Indeed, it’s quite delicious.”

Shiyin, with her mouth chewing, slowly raised her head. She swallowed the food before speaking, but not to Zhou Siyang.

Shiyin wiped her mouth, tilted her head, and smiled at Xia Ling，her voice soft and sweet, sounding exceptionally well-behaved, “Sister Ling，long time no see!”

Xia Ling，who had been staring at Shiyin, finally looked as if she had realized something. Her face was filled with surprise, “Shiyin?”

Shiyin nodded lightly, “Sister Ling 霜 still remembers me, I’m so happy.”

Xia Ling smiled and said, “Of course I remember you! The little sister who always followed behind Siyang.”

Shiyin laughed lightly, her emotions unclear, and deliberately said ambiguously, “Now, I’m not his little sister anymore.”

Xia Ling’s heart skipped a beat. But the next second, Zhou Siyang’s overreaction made her heart sink even further.

Zhou Siyang was seen looking flustered as he called out to Shiyin in a low voice, “Shiyin!”

Shiyin shrugged uninterestingly, looking very wronged, “What’s wrong? I didn’t say anything!”

Xia Ling pondered for a moment and then asked Shiyin, “Shiyin, do you mind if we sit down and eat together?”

Shiyin’s eyes rolled around. She looked at her, then at Zhou Siyang, and then smiled sweetly, “I’m afraid the three of us lightbulbs will disrupt your reminiscing.”

Zhou Siyang frowned when he heard Shiyin say this, clearly unhappy.

Xia Ling，however, laughed and said, “How could that be? We can reminisce anytime, but eating with Shiyin isn’t something you can just arrange.”

“Shiyin is a star now. It’ll be even harder to invite you to dinner in the future. So, I have to seize the opportunity.” Xia Ling smiled harmlessly, her words laced with veiled sarcasm.

Tsk.

Shiyin had already rolled her eyes countless times in her heart.

Don’t think she couldn’t guess what Xia Ling was thinking.

She must be thinking that it’s not easy to approach Zhou Siyang, so she wants to get information from Shiyin!

Shiyin’s eyes curved into crescent moons, and she said magnanimously, “Since Sister Ling has said so, then come and sit down and eat together.”

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Zhou Siyang.

Tsk! This man is still hesitating.

It seems like he wants to sit down and eat together, but he’s afraid that Shiyin will say something that will embarrass him and make him lose face.

However, in the end, Zhou Siyang still sat down.

Because he really wanted to come and eat with Shiyin, otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly wanted to eat hairy crabs.

He wasn’t lacking in opportunities to eat them.

Originally, Zhou Siyang was closer to Shiyin, but just as he was about to sit down, Xia Ling pulled him. She was polite, with a smile on her lips, and said to Zhou Siyang, “Siyang, you sit over there. I want to sit next to Shiyin. I haven’t talked to her in a long time. I’ll take a photo with Shiyin later, don’t forget to take it for us.”

Shiyin narrowed her eyes, what a schemer.

She must think they’re all fools. Who can’t see her intentions?!

So, Xia Ling sat in the middle, separating Shiyin and Zhou Siyang.

In this situation, Meng Ran and Xiaomeng couldn’t talk much. Zhou Siyang seemed to have something on his mind and didn’t talk much either. Most of the conversation was between Xia Ling and Shiyin.

On the surface, they looked like two sisters who hadn’t seen each other for a long time and were very happy to see each other. But in their hearts, they probably cursed each other countless times.

Xia Ling indirectly asked Shiyin if she had a boyfriend. Shiyin replied very frankly, shaking her head and saying to Xia Ling with a serious expression, “No.”

I skipped the part about having a boyfriend and directly got a husband.

After saying this, Shiyin pretended to care about Xia Ling and asked her, “What about Sister Ling？Your marriage life over the past few years must have been very happy, right?”

Xia Ling’s face froze, and her expression turned ugly for a moment.

Zhou Siyang put the processed crab in front of Shiyin, his face cold and displeased, “Can’t food shut your mouth?”

Shiyin glared at him, looking very wronged, and said innocently, “I’m concerned about Sister Ling！I wasn’t talking to you! What are you getting angry about? You’re sick! Shouldn’t you be saying that to yourself?”

Zhou Siyang pursed his lips, remaining silent, his expression momentarily regretful.

He had just subconsciously felt that Shiyin’s question was inappropriate, but he forgot that only he knew that Xia Ling was divorced, Shiyin didn’t know.

After the words came out of his mouth, he realized that it was too much for Shiyin.

From her perspective, it was obvious that he was taking Xia Ling’s side, but that wasn’t his intention.

Xia Ling quickly recovered her smile. She pretended nothing had happened and smoothed things over, scolding Zhou Siyang, “Okay, Siyang, why are you saying that to Shiyin? Shiyin is just concerned about me.”

“I’m not very good at this. Can Siyang help me process the crab too? I want to try the authentic Qingyang hairy crab.” She smiled sweetly.

Shiyin lowered her head, secretly raised an eyebrow, and sneered silently. Just for a moment, she returned to her innocent and sweet appearance.

She pushed the crab that Zhou Siyang had placed in front of her towards Xia Ling，”Sister Ling，you eat it. I’ve already eaten a lot. I just want to eat some vegetables now.”

Zhou Siyang looked at Shiyin, his face even colder. He didn’t say anything, but he picked up the small wine cup next to him and drank the white wine in one gulp.

After eating, Shiyin returned to the program recording site. The first episode was about to start tonight. There were a total of 88 trainees participating in the competition, and the top eight would eventually form a group.

The first episode mainly involved filming the trainees entering “Tomorrow’s Star” to let the audience get to know these girls.

The program group would give them uniforms, let them organize their luggage, and then go to their respective dormitories to find their beds.

Shiyin carried her luggage and easily found her dormitory. Soon, Dan Qing, Nie Shuangshuang, and the other five roommates who were in the same dormitory as her came in one after another.

The program group arranged eight people per dormitory this time, with a total of eleven dormitories. Compared to the first season of “Tomorrow’s Star” last year, it was much better.

The first season of “Tomorrow’s Star” trainees were all boys. The program group was incredibly cruel. There were 120 trainees, but only two large dormitories were arranged, with 60 people living in the same dormitory.

Moreover, the beds in the dormitory were the simplest kind, built and welded with iron bars, bunk beds.

Each person only had a wooden board on their bed. The tall boys on the top bunk couldn’t stand up because they would bump their heads on the bottom bunk.

This year’s female version of “Tomorrow’s Star,” although there were eight people in one dormitory, the dormitory space was large, and each person had a wooden bed to themselves, with a bed on top for sleeping and a desk underneath for personal belongings.

Not only that, but each dormitory also had its own separate bathroom.

Compared to last year’s boys who had to run out of the dormitory to use the public water room and toilet, this year’s program group was very humane.

Shiyin’s bed was closest to the door. She put her things on the bed and went into the bathroom to change clothes.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Nie Shuangshuang taking off her clothes.

Shiyin stared at her towering chest for a second and had to admit defeat.

She had only read the author’s description of this sister’s large chest in the book, but she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes. Now that she had, she finally understood what it meant to be a busty woman.

Did she use this kind of chest to seduce Zhou Siyang?

Shiyin remembered the scene described in the original book… it was very steamy.

It’s just that the author made the male lead resist.

Shiyin waited for Dan Qing to change her clothes and then pulled her out of the dormitory. The two of them went to the seating area on both sides of the stage. This time, they didn’t just sit anywhere. Each seat had their names on it. Shiyin and Dan Qing found their respective seats and sat down.

Not long after, everyone took their seats according to their names, and then the host appeared.

This male host was the hottest (traffic idol) invited by the program group. His name was Feng Xin. He was very handsome and funny, so he was very popular among the public.

Feng Xin first said a few opening remarks and then naturally transitioned to introducing the three judges of the competition.

The first judge was Gu Yizhou, the national male god. He was not only a movie emperor but also a big shot in the music industry. His status in the entertainment industry was top-notch.

The second judge was Ye Lun, a musician who debuted as a singer over ten years ago. He had been focusing on music for all these years and was recognized as the best Chinese singer.

The last judge was Wu Jiakai, a talented singer who had only debuted in recent years. He was best known for writing his own lyrics and composing his own music, and then performing it himself. He had been highly sought after since his debut, and almost all the songs playing on the streets were his.

Since they could be judges, they must have the ability.

After the three judges each showcased their talents, the eighty-plus girls in the audience were so excited that they jumped out of their seats.

Of course, Shiyin was also included.

Who would argue with handsome guys? Although they weren’t hers, it’s okay to be a little fanatical. After all, men singing and dancing on stage are really too handsome and dazzling!

Shiyin didn’t know that the camera wasn’t fixed on the judges, and it also interspersed shots of their expressions and reactions.

Shiyin wouldn’t know that a week later, her vinegar jar would completely overturn…

That night, after Shiyin finished recording the first episode, it was already past ten o’clock. After coming out, she got on her van and went back to the hotel.

Although the program group had prepared dormitories for them, they would only stay there during filming. Otherwise, they would all go back to their hotels.

The filming tomorrow was in the afternoon, so Shiyin didn’t need to sleep at the program group’s place.

After returning to her hotel room, Shiyin collapsed on the bed. After a while, she wanted to play on her phone for a while, but then she realized that she had been napping with her eyes closed on the way back and forgot to ask Meng Ran for her phone.

Shiyin got out of bed, opened the door, and planned to go to Meng Ran’s room next door to get her phone. As she opened the door, she saw a couple pulling and tugging at each other out of the corner of her eye.

Shiyin turned her head and found… Zhou Siyang and Xia Ling.

She raised an eyebrow, just as she met Zhou Siyang’s gaze.

Zhou Siyang, who was originally trying to push Xia Ling away, raised his hand and hugged Xia Ling back when he saw Shiyin.

Oh my, this is getting interesting.

She’d better not look.

Shiyin blinked, calmly retracted her gaze, knocked on Meng Ran’s door, and went inside after Meng Ran opened the door. She closed the door.

Shiyin sat in Meng Ran’s room for a while. Meng Ran talked about what happened at the dinner table tonight, patted Shiyin’s shoulder and praised her for her sharp tongue recently. She even teased Shiyin, “Shiyin, have you become tougher after getting married?”

“Is it because Zhou Chengyuan is backing you up that you dare to be so bold with Zhou Siyang?” Meng Ran stroked her chin, “I remember you never dared to talk back to him before, you were always obedient to him.”

Shiyin pressed her phone, looked up at Meng Ran, and said, “How can that be the same? Before, I was just his childhood sweetheart. Now, I’m his little aunt. What am I afraid of?”

Meng Ran shook her head, “Tsk tsk tsk, Shiyin, you’re getting cocky.”

“Since we’re talking about this, I’m very curious,” Meng Ran asked Shiyin in confusion, “Didn’t you always chase after Zhou Siyang? How come you suddenly married his uncle?”

“Do you believe me if I say I like him?” Shiyin blinked and asked.

“Like him?” Meng Ran was as if she had heard a huge joke, “Didn’t you like Zhou Siyang?”

Shiyin curled her lips and firmly denied, “No, I don’t like Zhou Siyang.”

“I’ve been getting close to him all these years just to be closer to Little Uncle.”

“Ran,” Shiyin said seriously, “Don’t you understand? True love and liking someone makes you shrink back and be afraid? Because I was afraid he wouldn’t like me, so I pretended to like Zhou Siyang all the time. I used this method to secretly like him. Even if I could be closer to him, even if he could look at me more, I felt like life was full of sunshine.”

Meng Ran was dumbfounded.

“What about later? Why did you suddenly get married?” Meng Ran asked.

Shiyin shrugged and laughed, “He found out. Then, he told me that he liked me too.”

“I couldn’t wait, so I secretly got the marriage certificate with him.”

Meng Ran: “…”

That’s crazy.

What are you, a young girl in your early twenties, waiting for?

Shiyin and Meng Ran chatted nonsense for a while. They estimated that the couple had probably gone into the room to be intimate, so Shiyin got up with her phone, said goodnight to Meng Ran, and opened the door to go out.

However, Shiyin saw Zhou Siyang at the door of her room.

Tsk.

Shiyin made a soft tsk in her heart and asked him expressionlessly, “Nephew, anything?”

Zhou Siyang’s originally calm face suddenly turned ugly. He felt a sense of frustration, as if he had been provoked by someone, but he couldn’t fight back.

He asked in a deep voice, “Are you only happy if you call me that?”

Seeing that she had angered him, Shiyin started to smile and nodded, “Yes!”

“What? Finished reminiscing with your old lover?” Shiyin sarcastically asked with a puzzled expression, “But there’s no reason to come to your little aunt’s room to chat at night.”

Zhou Siyang: “…”

He originally wanted to come over and apologize to her because his tone of voice wasn’t very good at the dinner table tonight. He had been feeling guilty about it.

He was also afraid that she would mind, thinking that he was protecting Xia Ling，and feel wronged.

Heh, it seems he was overthinking.

This little stinker, he didn’t know how she became like this. Every time he faced her, he felt like his teeth were itching.

Just then, the phone Shiyin was holding in her hand rang. She glanced at it and saw that it was a video call request from Zhou Chengyuan.

The corners of Shiyin’s mouth curled up. She smiled cheerfully and waved her phone at him, “Little Uncle wants to video chat with me. I’m going back to my room to chat with Little Uncle. If you have nothing to do, go back quickly. Don’t stand at the door of my room, it’s not good to be misunderstood.”

As Shiyin spoke, she quickly opened the door to her room and then slammed it shut with a bang.

Zhou Siyang, who was still standing at the door of her room, was so angry that his molars were grinding.

Why did I want to come over and apologize to her?! Zhou Siyang, are you crazy?!

You’re still chasing after this little stinker after she dumped you?!

Zhou Siyang pulled on his tie in annoyance and walked towards his room with a cold face.

Shiyin, I swear, if I pay attention to you again, I’ll eat shit live!
