Chapter 47: Idol Dramas Don't Film This Kind of Plot Anymore

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

288 yuan!

She had imagined that she could earn her first bucket of gold in her life when she took her first play, but she had never thought she could earn so much.

Even though she already knew how much her salary was when she signed the contract, she still felt unreal when she actually got the money.

"Sister, 288 yuan, I never dreamed that I could earn so much money in my first play." Shen Li said in a murmuring tone with a crying voice.

Shen Ci touched her sister's head dotingly and said lightly: "You will only earn 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 earn a lot of money, my original intention for choosing to be an actor is really not for money. I truly like acting."

"Sister knows." Shen Ci gave an affirmative answer: "Not only sister knows, but Mom also knows, so she supported you so much in taking the art exam."

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

After seeing her sister again, she deliberately avoided mentioning her mother, but she didn't expect her sister to mention it without changing her face.

Shen Li pursed her lips and lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Taking the art exam as an art student is 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's not easy for Mom to raise the three of us to be successful alone. I was too willful at the time. If my settling for the second best can give you and Xingxing a better future, sister is willing, really."

As she spoke, Shen Ci smiled and said easily: "And I think the University of Science and Technology 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 has always been the knot between her and Xingxing. She really hopes that her sister can forgive her mother's helplessness.

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

At this moment, Shen Li burst into tears of joy and hugged her sister tightly, because not only her mother, but she herself had always felt guilty towards her sister.

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

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

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

Shen Li could only nod, and then became excited again: "I earned money. Tomorrow I will go to the mall to buy gifts for Mom and Xingxing. Sister, what do you want? I'll give it to 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 didn't know if there would be a chance to wear it in the future.

"Okay, I'll give it to 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 time, Shen Ci's heart was also satisfied as never before, because this is what her sister wanted most but could never get.

From now on, she will try 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 didn't expect to see Li Xiao sitting on the bench by the side of the road as soon as she went downstairs.

He looked terrible and dejected. Thinking that he had come to find Shen Ci once yesterday afternoon and evening, Gu Lianxing was shocked.

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

Gu Lianxing walked up and asked in surprise.

Li Xiao raised his head when he heard the sound. Seeing that it was Gu Lianxing, he hurriedly stood up. He was still wearing the same clothes he left home in 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 dryness and hoarseness from not speaking for a long time. Coupled with his lost soul look at this time, Gu Lianxing even felt a little bit sorry for him.

"There's no need, Li Xiao. What's the point of you waiting all night? Idol dramas don't film this kind of plot anymore."

Pity is pity, but 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, and asked on his own.

Gu Lianxing sighed. She had promised Shen Ci that she would never reveal any news 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 scary."

"I have class, I'm almost late, I really have to go." Gu Lianxing shook her head unappreciatively, and didn't forget to instruct again before leaving: "You hurry back to make up for 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 dormitory now. I just went downstairs and Li Xiao is standing there like a 'waiting-for-husband 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.

Not long after, Lin Biqi actually came to find him.

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

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

"Brother Li Xiao, speak up. I'm asking you!" 【47

Li Xiao, already feeling unsettled, got a headache from Lin Biqi's noise. He suddenly looked up, glared at her, and snapped, "What does my business have to do with you? Did I not warn you not to bother me again and not to hover in front of me?"

He looked fierce, his pupils filled with bloodshot veins.

Lin Biqi was frightened by his expression, and her aggrieved eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Seeing her like this made Li Xiao even more annoyed. Her skill of being able to tear up the moment she wanted to cry was simply invincible; she could enter that state in a second every single time.

"Auntie only asked me to find you because she's worried about you," Lin Biqi said with a sobbing tone.

Li Xiao turned his head away irritably: "I don't need anyone to worry about me. You go."

"I'm not going!" Lin Biqi wiped away the tears that were about to fall, her eyes red, and plopped down right next to Li Xiao: "Anyway, Auntie told me to keep an eye on you. If you don't leave, I'm not leaving either."

"Are you fucking sick?" Li Xiao stood up and shouted angrily: "Am I some kind of criminal that I need you to watch me?"
