Chapter 46: Now Idol Dramas Don't Film This Kind of Plot

Shen Li was both surprised and happy, staring at the text message without blinking.

She had fantasized about making her first bucket of gold in her life after landing her first role, but she had never thought she could make so much.

Even though she knew what her salary was when she signed the contract, she still felt it was unreal when she truly received the money.

"Sister, 288 yuan. I never dreamed I could make so much money from my first drama," Shen Li murmured with a crying tone.

Shen Ci petted her sister's head dotingly and said lightly: "You will only make more than this in the future."

Shen Li nodded excitedly, looked up at her sister, and said with emotion: "Sister, although I have long known that being an actor can make a lot of money, my original intention for choosing to be an actor was really not for money. I truly love acting."

"Sister knows," Shen Ci said affirmatively: "Not only does sister know, but Mom also knows, which is why she supported you so much in participating in the art exam."

Suddenly hearing her mother from her sister's mouth, Shen Li was obviously stunned.

Since seeing her sister again, she had deliberately avoided mentioning her mother. She didn't expect her sister to mention it first without changing her face.

Shen Li pursed her lips and lowered her head, taking the opportunity to say in a low voice: "Art exams are very expensive. Mom had to sacrifice your choice for me and Xingxing. Mom is actually very self-blaming."

"Sorry, sister. It's us who dragged you down."

Hearing her sister say this, Shen Ci's heart ached again. She hurriedly hugged her sister's shoulder and said: "Don't say that. It wasn't easy for Mom to pull the three of us up. I was too willful at the time. If my taking a step back can give you and Xingxing a better future, sister is willing, really."

As she said this, Shen Ci smiled and said easily: "And I think Keda is also very good now."

"Really, sister? You don't blame Mom anymore?" Shen Li looked at her sister, her eyes hard to hide her excitement.

The knot between her sister and her mother had always been her and Xingxing's knot. She really hoped that her sister could forgive her mother's helplessness.

Shen Ci nodded forcefully, her tone sincere and powerful: "I stopped blaming her long ago."

At this moment, Shen Li cried with joy and hugged her sister tightly, because not only her mother, but she herself had always felt guilty toward her sister.

Shen Ci showed a gentle smile, gently smoothed her sister's back, and said again: "I plan to go back to Shengang on National Day."

"Really?" Shen Li looked up in surprise, then showed a look of regret: "But I have to join the crew before National Day and can't go back with you."

"You work hard, I'll go back myself."

Shen Li could only nod, then became excited again: "I made money. Tomorrow I want to go to the mall to buy gifts for Mom and Xingxing. Sister, what do you want? I'll buy it for you!"

Shen Ci didn't spoil the fun and blurted out: "I want an evening dress."

She remembered the day she couldn't find suitable clothes to go to Lu Jinzhao's investor party, and she wasn't sure if she would have to wear one in the future.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you!" Shen Li put her hands together and said with satisfaction: "I also want to buy gifts for Chuhan, Meina, and Yuanyuan, and then treat them to a big meal to celebrate!"

Looking at her sister's smiling face at this moment, Shen Ci's heart was also satisfied as never before, because this was what her sister once wanted to get most but could never get.

From now on, she will do her best to escort her sister's life.

Early the next morning, Gu Lianxing slept in until the last moment before crawling up to wash and go to morning class, but she didn't expect to see Li Xiao sitting on the bench by the side of the road as soon as she went downstairs.

His complexion was very poor, and his expression was dejected. Thinking that he had come to find Shen Ci once yesterday afternoon and evening, Gu Lianxing was startled.

"Big brother, you didn't wait here all night, did you?"

Gu Lianxing walked up and asked with a look of surprise.

Hearing the sound, Li Xiao raised his head. Seeing that it was Gu Lianxing, he hurriedly stood up. He was still wearing the same clothes he had when he left home yesterday, clearly not having changed.

"Lianxing, Shen Ci didn't come back all night, did she?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was wrapped in the dryness and hoarseness of not speaking for a long time. Coupled with his lost-soul appearance at this time, Gu Lianxing couldn't help but feel a little distressed for him.

"Is it necessary, Li Xiao? What is the meaning of you waiting all night? Now idol dramas don't film this kind of plot."

Distressed as she was, she couldn't help but complain as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I'm worried about Shen Ci. Why didn't she come back all night?" Li Xiao seemed not to have heard Gu Lianxing's words, asking to himself.

Gu Lianxing sighed. She had promised Shen Ci that she would never reveal a word about her to Li Xiao, so she shook her head: "I don't know, but I advise you not to wait here either. It's really too scary."

"I have class, I'm almost late, I really have to go." Gu Lianxing shook her head with a look of disapproval, and didn't forget to add another instruction before leaving: "You should go back and get some sleep and rest, don't faint here."

After walking far away, she hurriedly tipped off Shen Ci: "My dear, don't go back to the dorm now. I just went downstairs and Li Xiao is standing there like a 'husband-waiting stone'. Oh my god, he waited for you all night!"

And looking at Li Xiao again, he sat back on the chair, clearly not intending to leave.

Before long, Lin Biqi actually came looking for him.

"Brother Li Xiao, what are you doing here?" Lin Biqi was wearing the green dress Li Xiao liked most. She was as bright as a flower in the sun, clearly having dressed up specially.

"Auntie said you returned to school yesterday. I asked your roommate and he said you didn't return to the dorm at all last night. You stayed here all night?"

"Brother Li Xiao, speak! I'm asking you!"

Li Xiao, who was already uneasy, was annoyed by Lin Biqi. He raised his head and glared at her: "What does my business have to do with you? Didn't I warn you not to bother me again, not to shake in front of me!"

He had a fierce look, and his pupils were full of bloodshot eyes.

Lin Biqi was frightened by his expression, and her eyes were filled with tears of grievance.

Seeing her like this, Li Xiao felt even more annoyed. Her skill of being able to tear up in a second was simply invincible. Every time, she could enter the state in a second.

"Auntie is worried about you, so she asked me to find you," Lin Biqi said with a crying tone.

Li Xiao turned his head in frustration: "I don't need anyone to worry, you go."

"I won't go!" Lin Biqi wiped away the tears that were about to flow, sat down next to Li Xiao with red eyes: "Anyway, Auntie asked me to watch you. If you don't go, I won't go either."

"Are you f***ing sick?" Li Xiao stood up and shouted: "Am I some prisoner who needs you to watch?"
