A week later, in the principal’s office of A City’s key high school.

Jiangnanxi took the leave slip signed by the principal, politely saying, “Thank you.”

The middle-aged principal’s face was full of smiles, “You’re welcome, you’re welcome, Jiangnanxi, you’re so polite.”

“I voted for you in the competition too. It’s great that you’re going out to film a variety show, but you also need to focus on your studies. The college entrance exams are just a few months away. Of course, of course, Jiangnanxi, your grades have always been top-notch, I’m not worried, Principal.”

“Mhm.” The smile on Jiangnanxi’s face became even warmer, but her heart was only filled with perfunctory responses.

“Then I’ll go now, Principal.” Jiangnanxi bowed to the principal.

The principal called out to her, “Wait, wait. Jiangnanxi, could you sign your name for me? My daughter really likes you.”

The principal searched for a while, tore a page from the notebook on his desk, and handed it to Jiangnanxi. Then he picked up a red pen used for grading papers and handed it to her. Jiangnanxi wrote her name in flowing strokes.

The principal beamed with joy, taking the signed paper as if holding a precious treasure.

As she walked out of the principal’s office, Shen Dai, with a lollipop in her mouth, was waiting for her at the door. As soon as Jiangnanxi came out, Shen Dai clicked her tongue and said with a full heart of resentment, “You’re out, good student?”

“Did he agree?”

Jiangnanxi lightly shook the paper in her hand.

Shen Dai took a look, her eyes filled with envy, her expression like a dog who hadn’t eaten in eight hundred years seeing a meat bun, she couldn’t wait to pounce on it and grab the paper. Even her voice was full of sourness, “I’m so envious.”

“Some people can take a few months off to film a variety show right before the college entrance exams, while some people can only be locked up in school all day, taking exams to the point of exhaustion.”

Jiangnanxi hit the nail on the head, “With your academic level, using the word ‘exam’ is not quite appropriate. To be precise, it should be ‘fumbling around in the dark’.”

Shen Dai bared her teeth and claws, shouting, “Monster! Prepare to die!”

Jiangnanxi was not as childish as she was.

She took off running, Shen Dai chased after her relentlessly, but this girl didn’t have eyes, she ran halfway and bumped into someone. Shen Dai stopped, looked up, and her expression immediately changed, “Class monitor.”

The person who was bumped into was the class monitor of Jiangnanxi and Shen Dai’s class, named Lu Wan, a girl who was serious, cold as ice, with thick bangs. Almost no one in the class had ever seen her face below her bangs.

Lu Wan: “You can’t run and shout in the corridor, you’ll get deducted from your conduct points if you’re caught.”

Shen Dai responded with a fake smile, saying okay, she turned her back and made a face at Lu Wan.

Lu Wan saw Jiangnanxi, nodded to her as a greeting, and then left.

Shen Dai found it strange, “When did you two become friends?”

Jiangnanxi: “Please pay attention to your wording.”

Shen Dai: “Oh, when did you two become friends?”

Jiangnanxi: “…”

Shen Dai: “Could it be that you two became… ?”

Jiangnanxi felt that the only mistake she made in her life was finding this unlucky soul, Shen Dai, when she was little. With her as a friend, she could be angered to death a few years earlier.

Shen Dai pouted, seeing that Jiangnanxi wasn’t talking, she didn’t know where she had offended her again. However, she, Miss Shen, was a magnanimous person, with a belly big enough to hold a boat, so she wouldn’t argue with Jiangnanxi. After comforting herself, Shen Dai followed Jiangnanxi to the school gate. This gate, for Shen Dai, was the difference between heaven and hell. She pitifully pulled Jiangnanxi’s clothes, “Jiangnanxi.”

“You’re leaving, who will tutor me?”

She said tutoring, but it was actually copying homework.

Jiangnanxi wasn’t against seriously teaching Shen Dai, but after trying for a while, she realized that doing so wasn’t torturing Shen Dai, it was torturing herself.

Fortunately, Jiangnanxi understood that children like Shen Dai, who had been pampered their whole lives, had already had their future planned out by their parents. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t get into college, they could just switch tracks and start over.

Shen Dai herself knew this, so she was even more lazy.

Now that Jiangnanxi was going out to film a variety show for a long time, she couldn’t take care of Shen Dai anymore, so she came up with a solution.

“Someone will replace me.”

Shen Dai’s eyes lit up, “Who? The handsome boy from Class 2? Or the sports student from Class 3?”

Jiangnanxi smiled, “Neither, but you’ll be satisfied.”

Shen Dai was full of anticipation now.

Her biggest dream was to have a campus romance before she turned eighteen. Just like the protagonists in TV dramas, have a memory that belonged to summer. After June passed, it would be time for them to part ways.

Half an hour later, Jiangnanxi was on her way to the company in the company’s car. While in the car, she received a text message from Shen Dai.

Shen Dai sent twenty consecutive emojis of someone holding a knife and wanting to kill.

Shen Dai: The person you found for me is Lu Wan！！！！！！！！

Jiangnanxi typed casually, “The second-ranked student in the grade, aren’t you satisfied?”

Shen Dai: ……She’s the perennial runner-up！！！！！

Shen Dai: Don’t you know I hate her the most?! She’s a hypocrite, and she loves to meddle in other people’s business. Aaaaaah, I’m going crazy!!!

Shen Dai: Also, what’s on page 48, lines 3 to 16?!

Jiangnanxi: A science question 🙂

Jiangnanxi: She asked me a question on Penguin last week, so I made a deal with her.

Shen Dai: ……

Shen Dai: Jiangnanxi! I’ll kill you! I’m going to expose you online right now!!!

Shen Dai: You betrayed me for just one question！！！！

Shen Dai: No! A big beauty like me is only worth one question！！！！

Shen Dai continued to rant, Jiangnanxi didn’t bother to reply, she didn’t have time. Jiangnanxi had already arrived at the company, she hadn’t even gotten out of the car yet, when she heard screams and shouts outside.

“Nanksi, Nanksi! My lifelong love!!”

“Xixi!! Mom loves you!!!”

“Husband, husband, husband!!!!!”

Jiangnanxi sighed softly, took off her hat and mask, and adjusted her hair in the car mirror.

The driver asked, “Miss Jiang, should I drive in directly?”

Jiangnanxi shook her head, “Just park here, I’ll walk in.”

The driver was worried, “But there are so many people outside…”

Jiangnanxi: “It’s okay, they’ve come all this way, it’s quite hot today, they’ve been waiting for me to come back for hours at the company gate.”

Just seeing her face, they’ll be happy for a long time.

Jiangnanxi understood this feeling better than anyone.

So she gently adjusted her breathing, rolled down the car window, and greeted everyone. The crowd wanted to surge forward, but the security guards held them back. Jiangnanxi made a gesture to step back, then opened the car door and got out.

The scene erupted in thunderous screams.

Jiangnanxi raised her hand and looked at her watch, “I have twenty minutes, you can choose to continue crowding, or line up, those who need autographs can give them to me.”

As soon as she said this, the originally chaotic crowd became orderly, the fans with organizational experience took the lead, leading everyone to start lining up.

Jiangnanxi signed for twenty minutes under the sun, and some bold fans even asked for a hug. She seemed to be very easy to get along with, as long as the request was reasonable, she never refused. After twenty minutes, the fans reluctantly left, Jiangnanxi bowed to everyone, reminding them to go home early and pay attention to safety, before going inside under the escort of bodyguards.

The fans at the scene cried.

“Baby is so good, woo woo woo!!”

“Ah, ah, so soft, so glutinous, such a good baby！！”

Those who weren’t at the scene also went crazy.

“Kill me, kill me, why wasn’t I the one hugged?!”

“Damn, it feels so safe to be hugged by Nannan!”

And what about Jiangnanxi?

As soon as she entered the building, she took off her jacket. She took the hand sanitizer and disinfectant handed to her by her assistant, and rubbed them vigorously. Her agent, Sister Li, rushed over and scolded her, “You know you have cleanliness obsession and are prone to allergies, yet you’re still interacting with fans.”

“Nannan, didn’t I tell you? There’s no need to go to such lengths. They’ll be happy enough just seeing your face, why waste that time and energy?”

Jiangnanxi felt uncomfortable hearing this, she lowered her head, hiding the displeasure in her eyes, and softly hummed in agreement.

Sister Li saw this and understood.

This was another example of someone who agreed well with their mouth, but forgot everything when they started doing things.

Oh well.

Anyway, she only needed to manage her for a year.

Limited group, just need to squeeze out her value in this year.

“This is the list of things to pay attention to when filming, these are the current members, they’re all big seniors, take a good look, don’t screw up.”

“For now, it’s only confirmed for one episode, the rest is still unclear. Xiaochi! You’re here!”

Sister Li’s eyes lit up.

“Sister, I’m here.” Ruan Qiuci ran over in small steps, “It’s so hot today, it’s killing me.”

She stood next to Jiangnanxi and reached out to hug her, but Jiangnanxi dodged.

Ruan Qiuci pouted, “Xiao Nan is so mean, she’s always like this when she’s not in front of the camera.”

Sister Li: “Don’t mind her. You’re here just in time, I was just talking to her about the show, you listen too. After all, you two are going together.”

“Together?” Jiangnanxi was stunned.

“Top 1 and Top 2 going on the show together, what’s the problem? Resources are already tight in the group, of course, we have to focus on those with higher popularity.”

“But you didn’t tell me about this before.”

“Is that right?” Sister Li laughed, “I must have forgotten in my busyness.”

Ruan Qiuci raised her eyebrows slightly, leaned closer to Jiangnanxi, and curiously asked, “You don’t want to go on the show with me?”

“You’re so cruel, our CP, Yi Jiang Qiu Shui, is ranked so high.”

Jiangnanxi kept a straight face, not bothering to speak.

She hadn’t told Xia Zhiyan that she was going on the show, and she even asked Aunt Song to help her keep it a secret, wanting to give Xia Zhiyan a surprise.

Now…

Jiangnanxi looked at Ruan Qiuci, who was standing beside her and shaking with laughter like a flower, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

She only hoped this surprise wouldn’t turn into a shock.

Her phone dinged, Jiangnanxi took it out and saw that it was a message from Xia Zhiyan.

Sister: Just finished filming, now I’m going to change locations to record the variety show.

Sister: TT

Sister: I haven’t seen Nannan in a week, I miss you so much. How was class today? Did you eat properly? Are you tired?

Jiangnanxi’s lips curled into a smile, just about to reply and confess, Ruan Qiuci’s voice came from behind, “Wow, who is it?”

“Your sister?”

Jiangnanxi turned off the screen, put her phone back in her pocket, “None of your business.”

With Ruan Qiuci around, Jiangnanxi didn’t find a chance to explain to Xia Zhiyan all the way, and so she was directly taken to the filming location.
