nPei Jie still greeted the dance teacher, as if there was no Shi Xi in the dance studio.

n

nAfter Shi Xi finished practicing, she enjoyed Pei Jie’s dance for a while.

n

nAlthough the two of them had never spoken, they had both seen each other’s dance and understood each other.

n

nShi Xi watched for half an hour before she slowly returned home after resting.

n

nAt the Shi Residence.

n

nWhen Shi Xi returned home, she realized that there was something wrong with the house.

n

n“What banquet are you holding?” Shi Xi asked in puzzlement.

n

n“It’s your birthday banquet!” Mother Shi was busying herself. When she saw Shi Xi, she pushed her and said, “Hurry up and change your clothes.”

n

nShi Xi: “???”

n

nHer birthday banquet?

n

nWhy didn’t she know about it?

n

nWhen did it happen?

n

nShi Xi felt that she had been skipping around recently.

n

nShe actually knew nothing about these things.

n

nNing Yu said, “I know all about it. Don’t you know?”

n

nShi Xi: “??!”

n

nEven Ning Yu knew about it?!

n

nWas she the only one who didn’t know?

n

nShi Xi resigned herself to fate and went to change her clothes. She vaguely recalled the birthday banquet.

n

nIt seemed that Mother Shi had mentioned it to her before.

n

nIt was just that she had been too engrossed in practicing her dance recently and had neglected this matter.

n

nMother Shi was the one who had organized the banquet. She did not need Shi Xi to do anything, so Shi Xi did not take it to heart.

n

nAll she needed to do was to remember to register for the examination on time tomorrow.

n

nSystem: Remember today’s plot point!

n

nShi Xi: “…”

n

nShe remembered now. It was not that she had forgotten about the birthday banquet, it was that she did not want to think about it at all.

n

nThe birthday banquet was an important plot point in the original plot.

n

nIn this plot point, she was slapped in the face endlessly.

n

nNing Yu was proficient in all kinds of calligraphy and painting, and her results were outstanding. Her 720 marks attracted the attention of the principal of Yanjing University. Sheng Yan even prepared a special gift for Ning Yu, which made Shi Xi lose all face at the party.

n

nShi Xi was no longer willing to be a human.

n

nBut no matter how unwilling she was, the party was already prepared.

n

nShi Xi changed into a pure white dress and sat in the room, enjoying her last moments of leisure.

n

n“Xi Xi?” Shi Xu knocked on the door and came in. When he saw Shi Xi leaning against the sofa, looking like she had nothing to live for, he asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

n

nWhen Shi Xi saw that it was Shi Xu, she sat up straight and said embarrassedly, “It’s nothing, I’m just a little tired.”

n

n“If practicing dancing is too tiring, don’t go in the future.” Shi Xu doted on this younger sister of his. “You’re still young. Just go to school properly. Leave the work of earning money to your older brother.”

n

n“You just need to do the hard work of spending money.”

n

nThe hard work of spending money…

n

nShi Xi was often unable to respond because the difference in consciousness between them was too big.

n

n“It’s okay, I occasionally want to experience how easy it is to earn money.” Shi Xi could only reply in Versailles.

n

nShi Xu smiled and raised his hand to touch Shi Xi’s hair.

n

n“Hairstyle!” Shi Xi avoided his hand so that her carefully combed bun head would not be harmed.

n

n“It won’t be messy if I touch it.” Shi Xu pressed on Shi Xi’s shoulder, and with his other hand, he took out a small tiara from his pocket and put it on Shi Xi’s head. “It’s a birthday present for you.”

n

nShi Xi looked at the makeup mirror in the room, looked left and right, and nodded. “It looks good. Thank you, Big Brother!”

n

n“Let’s go. I’ll bring you down.”

n

n..

n

nBirthday banquet.

n

nThe guests were chatting happily downstairs. Suddenly, the lights dimmed.

n

nA beam of light fell on the stairs. Shi Xi held onto Shi Xu’s arm and walked down the stairs.

n

nShi Xu was in a suit and tie. His figure was tall and straight, and there was a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.

n

nThe girl beside him was dressed in a pure white dress. She wore a shiny and beautiful tiara on her hair. She looked like a noble little princess.

n

nShi Xi was already originally beautiful. Dressing up a little, she was even more beautiful.
