After sending off Qi Chen, Yun Xi slumped on the sofa.

Yun Huai had already called his parents. After their divorce, they each started a new family. They would save as much as they could on their daily living expenses and would never spend such a large sum of money.

His parents had suggested that his younger brother try applying to another high school. As long as he transferred to another school, he would be able to save that sum of money, so what’s not to like?

However, the problem was that no school would accept a student who had gotten expelled for intentionally hurting someone. It was the complete opposite of voluntarily dropping out of school. Obviously, Jiang Chengxuan wanted to ruin his younger brother’s life.

“I’ll go take a look at the new school.” After hanging up the phone call with his father, Yun Huai lowered his head in silence.

His appearance was really unbearable.

Knowing that her younger brother had been very obedient since he was young, and his academic results had been stellar, Yun Xi could not bear to ruin his academic progress because of this.

She silently calculated her current savings, the money she could earn, and the estimated expenses…

She was getting a headache.

She didn’t blame Yun Huai. No one wanted that accident to happen, so it was useless to blame him.

She just had to work even harder from now on.

In comparison, the blank and helpless gaze in Qi Chen’s eyes when he left made her feel even more at a loss.

‘He probably thinks that I’m a very capricious person, right?’

Sensing her depressed mood, Yun Huai raised his head to look at her. His gaze was like that of a puppy that was about to be abandoned.

“I’m sorry. The situation at the time was very chaotic, but the rules allowed me to break out of the encirclement,” Yun Huai said in frustration. “I don’t know how…”

“Yun Huai, I know you’re a good kid.” Yun Xi was most afraid that he would become indecisive and timid because of this.

“Don’t worry,” Yun Xi said. “How about this? You can go to the convenience store to work on my behalf in the future. I’ll save some time for filming the drama. The hourly pay will be higher too. After I repay the money, this matter will be over.”

Yun Huai finally revealed a pained expression. “Earning 100,000 yuan in three months’ time is simply impossible.”

“I’ll drop out of school.”

Yun Huai said, “Jiang Chengxuan has always been unhappy with me. Every time he meets me, he will provoke me. Even if I give him money, it won’t stop him from being abominable.”

Yun Xi couldn’t help but frown. “Now that you’ve accepted your fate and dropped out of school, then what? Which high school will accept you?”

Seeing her brother’s confused expression, Yun Xi pinched the back of his neck. “Tomorrow, I’ll look for my manager to ask if him if there are any drama roles that offer higher pay. I’ll take on a few more, there’s definitely going to be a way.”

The more she calmly comforted him, the more uncomfortable Yun Huai felt.

His eyes were red. “I can’t take your money. You’ve already done enough for me. This time, for my sake, you and Qi Chen…”

Yun Xi interrupted him. “Qi Chen and I were never meant to be together.”

In her long days of unrequited love, she would always encounter all sorts of trouble as long as she started planning her confession.

She could no longer comfort herself by attributing it to coincidence.

Moreover, if Qi Chen also liked her, why would he wait for her to clarify their relationship?

“Go to bed early.”Yun Xi patted her younger brother’s shoulder. “We’ll talk about this later.”

Yun Xi had two guest appearances tomorrow. She didn’t have any lines, so the screen time was about three seconds.

However, before filming began, she needed to coordinate with the main character’s positioning, rehearse her lines, and put on some special effects makeup, so she had to be on set at six in the morning.

Before going to bed, she sent a message to her manager, Ai Zhe to inform him that she could also take on filming during the week.

Ai Zhe had not gone to bed yet, so he sent her a voice message. “Let’s talk at the office tomorrow.”

The next day, Yun Xi got up early. After washing her face, she put on a mask and went out without any makeup. In this scene, she was going to act as a corpse of a murder victim. The makeup artist had put so much powder on her that even her mother would not be able to recognize her.

Yun Xi found it very funny and kept taking pictures with the staff. The atmosphere was quite good.

After the filming was over, she took off her makeup and went to the company to look for Ai Zhe.

Ai Zhe stood in front of the window and smoked. His back view was made desolate by the river scenery behind the shutters. “It’s not easy to clinch any roles recently, especially since you’ve only acted as a passerby previously. I do have a movie role offer on hand. The fifth supporting actress hasn’t been decided yet.”

At this point, he flicked the ashes from the cigarette with his slender fingers. He turned around and looked at Yun Xi. “But the intimate scenes of the movie are a bit too explicit.

“– Is that okay with you?”
