Chapter 497

497 You Can’t Just Reject Everyone Who Wants To Pursue You, Can You?

Ron was standing next to the car, looking at the recording building from time to time.

Their gazes met, and Ron immediately put away his phone and walked toward Shi Xi.

He walked straight toward Shi Xi, so she had no choice but to stop and greet him with a smile. “What a coincidence. Do you work here?”

Ron smiled brightly and said, “No, I specially came here to wait for you.”

!!

Shi Xi was surprised. “Waiting for me? How did you know that I’m about to get off work?”

“I knew you were recording here, so I’ve been waiting for you,” Ron said.

Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘If this were in China, he would be a paparazzi!’

Or a secret fan.

Thinking about it this way, it was really a little scary.

“Shall we have a meal together?” Ron asked.

Shi Xi rejected his suggestion and said, “I’ve already eaten.”

as soon as she finished speaking, Shi Xi heard a gurgling sound.

Shi Xi looked at Ron.

Ron touched his stomach and said in embarrassment, “I’ve been waiting for you. I haven’t eaten yet.”

“How long have you been waiting?” Shi Xi asked.

It was only noon.

It couldn’t be that his stomach was growling from hunger, right?

“I’ve been waiting since this morning. I didn’t eat breakfast either,” Ron added.

“You go eat,” Shi Xi sighed. “I’m going back.”

“I’ll send you back,” Ron said pitifully.

“No need,” Shi Xi replied.

Ron said, “It’s hard to get a taxi here. I’ll give you a ride.”

“You don’t have to be so wary of me. I’m Shi Chen’s friend.”

“If you’re not willing, I won’t do anything out of line to you.”

“You can’t just reject everyone who wants to pursue you, right?”

Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘I can really reject him.’

Just as the two of them were talking, Shi Xi realized that there were quite a few people staring at them from the side of the recording building.

Thinking of the scandal of Shi Chen driving her here and her getting out of a luxury car in the morning, Shi Xi didn’t want to cause any more trouble, so she said, “Let’s get in the car.”

Shi Xi was really worried that she would be tugging at a man’s arm.

She was worried that she would be rumored to be in a scandal twice a day.

And this car was really ugly.

‘Anyway, let’s leave this place first.’

Ron thought that his tactic was effective, so he happily opened the car door for Shi Xi and said, “I’ll send you home first.”

“I’ll send you to lunch first,” Shi Xi said.

Hearing Ron’s hungry sounds, Shi Xi was worried that Ron would not starve to death on the way.

“It’s okay, I’m not hungry,” Ron said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xi heard his stomach growling again.

“It’s okay,” Ron said awkwardly. “It’s no big deal to starve for a while.”

Shi Xi was a person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. “Let’s go eat. I’ll eat a little more too.”

She didn’t have anything to do in the afternoon anyway.

When Shi Xi nodded, Ron brought her to the dining room.

Ron ordered a table full of food and even ice cream for Shi Xi.

Sitting at the dining table, Shi Xi scooped up some ice cream and ate it slowly.

After they were done eating, Ron did not pester her any further and sent Shi Xi back to Shi Chen’s villa.

This made Shi Xi heave a sigh of relief.

Xiao Tian’s visa was stuck, so she had not arrived yet. She usually took a taxi when she went out.

She was supposed to take the Festival Group’s car, but it seemed like she would have to rent a car herself if she were to move out of the hotel.

This was what Shi Xi thought.

When they returned to Shi Chen’s villa, Shi Xi saw a row of cars in the garage.

Shi Xi: “…”

Forget it, she would just rent an ordinary car.

Don’t be so ostentatious.

The next few days were even stranger.

Shi Xi had almost nothing to do, so the Festival Group rarely let her record.

And when they asked her to record, it was always late at night.

They suddenly called her and asked her to go to the practice room.

When Shi Xi arrived, the photographers had already gotten off work, so they couldn’t record.

Seeing this, Shi Xi couldn’t say anything and could only teach the other trainees in the practice room.

Anyway, no matter what time it was, there was no shortage of trainees in the practice room.

*

Shi Xi didn’t expect that they would continue recording when she wasn’t around.

The trailer for the second episode was released very quickly.

At the beginning of the trailer, Shi Xi was teaching the students how to dance.

Even though she was very sleepy, Shi Xi still perked up to teach.

In the middle, there were also warnings of other trainees, such as breaking down and crying from too much pressure, or if they didn’t practice well and worked hard to climb up.

After the trailer was released, the fans were very excited.

Among the teachers, Shi Xi had the loudest cheers.

Among the students, Felomina was the most popular, followed by the other two male trainees who were fighting for the Top.

Under the anticipation of the audience, the second episode of [The Top] was broadcast.

On the cover was a big picture of Shi Xi.

The fans happily clicked on the video and saw Shi Xi teaching late at night.

Then, it was the other people’s shots.

The fans thought, “It’s okay. There are so many people here. Everyone needs to have a camera.”

However, after watching the video, they realized that Shi Xi had only been in the first few seconds of the video!

[I’m so angry that I’m laughing. I originally ordered takeaway and was going to eat and watch variety shows. In the end, I’m so angry that I couldn’t even eat the takeaway!]

[Isn’t that so? When I first saw Xi Xi, I thought she had a lot of scenes, but I didn’t expect the first few seconds to be all of her scenes for this episode!]

The fans were furious.

[If you don’t want to show Shi Xi, then don’t show her in the trailer. Why do you have to be so hypocritical?]

[Just say it if you don’t need the views from fans like us. There’s no need to keep us hanging with the trailer while not giving us any shots in the actual film.]

There were a lot of comments on the internet, and most of the fans were very angry.

Many people had come to watch the show to watch Shi Xi.

In the end, they didn’t even give Shi Xi a shot?

What followed was a drop in this episode’s good reviews, as well as the overall rating.

Some people even sent bullet comments at the beginning of the video, reminding others that Shi Xi from this episode only had a few seconds of footage, and that they could leave after watching it.

Some of the fans did not believe it, and after watching it, they expressed their opinions passionately.

[I thought it was just a joke. I didn’t expect that after watching it, it would really only be the first few seconds of the scene!]

The topic of Shi Xi’s lack of screen time immediately became a hot search.

It wasn’t just in China. Even the netizens overseas felt that Shi Xi had too few scenes this episode and protested. They even expressed that if she still had so few scenes in the next episode, they wouldn’t watch it anymore.

Shi Xi’s fans were so excited that it caused dissatisfaction among the other fans.

Most of them were Felomina’s fans.

[This is a talent show, not a variety show. If you want to see your mentor, why come to a talent show?]

[I really don’t know what these fans are thinking. If they have the ability, why don’t they ask the director to shoot a variety show for them? Since you’re here as a mentor, you have to be prepared to set others off.]

[There are more than 50 people in total. How can they film Shi Xi every day? The Chinese fans seem to have that big illness.]

Where there were people, there would be jianghu, and all kinds of comments emerged.

Shi Xi’s fans naturally disagreed with such comments.
