Shen Dai left Jiangnanxi’s house, inexplicably handed an e-cigarette.

Shen Dai was speechless, “Why?”

Jiangnanxi: “For you.”

“Are you crazy, I don’t smoke.”

“You smoke.”

“Smoke what?”

“Cigarettes.”

Shen Dai: “Are you crazy, I don’t smoke!!”

“You’re smoking now.”

Shen Dai: “…”

She really couldn’t talk to this crazy Jiangnanxi!

Shen Dai clutched the e-cigarette in her hand, turned around and put on her shoes. Jiangnanxi secretly took a picture and sent it to Xia Zhiyan.

Jiangnanxi: She took the cigarette.

Jiangnanxi: Sister, I’m sending my friend home.

Jiangnanxi: Work hard!

Xia Zhiyan didn’t reply.

Jiangnanxi didn’t dwell on it, she knew how busy Xia Zhiyan was.

“I’ll take you back,” Jiangnanxi said.

Shen Dai was suspicious, “There’s a trick, there’s a trick.”

“When did you become so kind?”

Jiangnanxi: “I’ve always been a kind and upright person.”

Shen Dai: “Heh.”

Jiangnanxi: “You told your parents last night that you were staying at my place, it wouldn’t be appropriate to let you go back alone this morning. Come on, I’ll take you.”

Shen Dai: “I knew it!!”

It’s all for the image!!

In the eyes of Shen Dai’s parents, Jiangnanxi was the best child in the universe, a little darling from another family, a top student from childhood to adulthood. Not only was she well-rounded in academics, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, but she had never relinquished the top spot in her grade. Even now, she had joined the entertainment industry and participated in a talent show, and she managed to win first place nationwide.

Is she a human?

No! She’s a god!

A fake god who pretends to be one.

Shen Dai felt that her friendship with Jiangnanxi was a complete karmic retribution. Ever since they met, Shen Dai had never beaten up other boys, but after being saved by Jiangnanxi who happened to be passing by, Shen Dai started to live a life dominated by Jiangnanxi.

As Jiangnanxi’s best friend, only Shen Dai knew that Jiangnanxi wasn’t a good student at all. She was indeed a genius, but her moral character was corrupt, specifically manifested in her ability to secretly smear glue on the chairs of boys she disliked without being discovered.

Taking advantage of her history of heart disease, she would constantly take leave and wander around. She loved to secretly ride motorcycles, even though she didn’t have a driver’s license, she was purely driving without a license.

Even her talent show debut persona was fake!

Jiangnanxi participated in the show with a folk music style, but in reality, she was a heavy metal rock fan.

Such a person, actually fooled everyone.

Shen Dai glared at Jiangnanxi indignantly.

“You better be nice to me,” she said, “If I go and expose you, Jiangnanxi, you’re finished.”

Jiangnanxi hummed, looking at the Shen family’s front door that was right in front of her, “You only got 13 points on your math exam this month, don’t your parents know?”

“Sister! My only sister!”

Shen Dai’s pride lasted only three seconds before she was instantly subdued.

After Jiangnanxi sent Shen Dai home and received five minutes of rainbow praise from Shen’s parents, she was finally liberated. Watching the Shen family’s door close, Jiangnanxi adjusted her baseball cap, pulled up her mask, almost completely covering her face.

Her style today was completely different from her on-screen persona, and she even deliberately walked with a swagger, so no one paid attention to her when she went downstairs.

Jiangnanxi didn’t want Xia Zhiyan to know her whereabouts, so she didn’t call the driver she arranged, she hailed a taxi.

As soon as she got in, the driver said, “To Hongda Cinema?”

“Yes.”

The driver glanced at Jiangnanxi through the rearview mirror.

He wanted to ask a couple more questions, but then he saw the girl in the mirror, her eyes were dark and forbidding, conveying a sense of keeping people at bay.

The driver immediately shut his mouth, released the handbrake, shifted gears, and stepped on the gas pedal, the car shot forward.

The car was driving very fast, Hongda Cinema was on the outskirts of the city, it took a long time to get there.

Jiangnanxi thanked the driver and got out of the car without hesitation.

She went upstairs towards the cinema, a message popped up on her penguin app.

Xia Zhiyan National Fan Club: Thanks X for your funding～All the cinemas for today’s private screening have been booked～

Jiangnanxi replied with an emoji and stopped looking at her phone.

Hongda Cinema was one of the cinemas for the private screening.

All the tickets for one of the halls were bought out. They were supposed to be resold to fans, organizing fans to watch the movie. But Jiangnanxi didn’t. She only kept one ticket for herself. To be precise, all the tickets for the whole screening were hers alone.

After passing the inspection, Jiangnanxi went inside, sat down in the hall, and chose a seat in the center.

There was no one around, after the cinema’s advertisements finished playing, the dragon logo appeared, everything dimmed, Jiangnanxi took off her hat and mask.

Only at times like this could she watch Xia Zhiyan’s movies openly.

The movie currently playing was one that Xia Zhiyan had filmed a few years ago, the same one Shen Dai called “new”. The movie tells the story of a female assassin who reformed, but Xia Zhiyan wasn’t the protagonist, her role was small, she played a villain, the female assassin’s boss. The large-scale scenes that Shen Dai mentioned were just her methods before killing.

The movie was 98 minutes long, Jiangnanxi endured the first 60 minutes that were boring to the point of being explosive, and as the ending approached, Xia Zhiyan finally had a close-up shot.

She was wearing a courtesan’s attire, gracefully walking towards the lotus platform, with a slight jump, she seemed to dance like a fairy. She landed lightly on the drum, her red dress like fire, her sleeves like morning glow.

Xia Zhiyan’s skin was very white, this kind of white and red together, coupled with the dark tones that the director could adjust, revealed a sense of mysterious and oppressive beauty.

Every move was danced by Xia Zhiyan herself, after all, she was a dance major. Xia Zhiyan’s body lines were very beautiful, even her fingertips had strength, as if extending infinitely towards the distance.

Jiangnanxi was mesmerized.

When Shen Dai’s so-called large-scale scene came out, Jiangnanxi was even happier.

Because she could tell at a glance, this wasn’t Xia Zhiyan.

It must be a stunt double.

Xia Zhiyan had a small red mole on her left chest, like a cinnabar. She also had two staggered small black moles on her neck, very delicate and beautiful. The person in the movie was completely different from Xia Zhiyan.

Jiangnanxi knew that her thoughts at this moment were unprofessional, but she was just happy.

So, when she walked out of the cinema after watching the movie, her steps were even light.

When the agent from Queens’ company called Jiangnanxi, hearing her happy tone, she couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Nannan, what good thing happened?”

“Nothing.” Jiangnanxi instantly controlled the corners of her mouth, calmly asking, “Sister Li, why did you suddenly call me?”

“There’s a variety show we got a spot on, see if you want to go on it? It’s like this, because you said before that you didn’t want to participate in variety shows, you just wanted to make music, so I’m not sure what you think.”

“This variety show shouldn’t interfere with your college entrance exams, and the intensity is not high, I’m familiar with the producer and director, they’re good people. The previously confirmed guest had a problem, so they wanted to find two little sisters, and it just so happened that you two formed a group, so it worked out. Things are urgent, filming starts soon, I’ll send you the information, take a look and tell me what you think?”

“What variety show?”

“Uh, it’s called ‘Sister’s Journey’.”

Jiangnanxi said without hesitation, “I’ll go.”

“Sister Li, I’ll go.”

It’s a variety show with Xia Zhiyan, no money is needed, she would even pay to go.
