In the free period ,class of 2 A while most students were trying to self study and others were just chatting and keeping themselves occupied .Song Xia attempted to so some practice problems but was a bit distracted.Those few days at D City changed her perspective many times over and now she had some decisions to make.A lovely perhaps alienating figure was reflected as she gazed out of the window tapping her pen in between her thumb and index finger.

The shooting finished late before Director Lai was satisfied. While the Director was finalizing his shots Shi Qi was worried about Song Xia .The girl wore a thin dress and injured her ankle yet she didn't utter a word of complaint .To her the poor child was still recovering from the accident and now she was trying to model with an injured ankle.However, she was currently her in the role of Song Xia's agent so she couldn't allow her emotions to overwhelm her.
Shi Qi was already agitated after Song Xia fell from the stairs by the sky lounge. Luckily, it was only a few steps before her niece managed to grab hold of the railing. This incident seemed like an accident however the assistant stylist's behavior caused her some suspicion.The fall just seemed so exaggerated and staged.
Brushing her paranoia aside ,Shi Qi briskly walked up to Song Xia giving her a warm overcoat. Filming in such freezing weather was something that was an unfortunate part of modeling.
Sighing ,she gave Song Xia a hug while praising the teenager.
" Well done, Xiao Xia."
Agent May ,who had at some point during filming disappeared came over to where the Director, camera men, makeup artists and stylist were seated.
"Director Lai , Sister Zhenya! I have something I think you all need to see . " Agent May walked over breaking Shi Qi out of her thoughts.
On the latest QW Technology smartphone with a neon blue cover was a video. It was a surveillance video timed a few minutes before Song Xia's incident.
It showed clearly how Fang Wei purposefully dropped the glitter mixture with body oil on the steps before angling her body towards Sun Shuai. At this point Song Xia walked suddenly turned back to speak with Sun Shuai .
In an unexpected turn of events Fang Wei fell on Song Xia who combined the moment and the oil on the steps slipped. Her shoe strap also broke however she luckily managed to grab ahold of the railing after falling down a few stairs.
Then without warning before anyone could react a video of Pan Li and Fang Wei appeared on the screen.In an isolated corner the two huddled together.This video was of the photoshoot sometime yesterday.
" That bitch Sun Shuai is always sticking to Brother Wu like a blood- sucking leech!I'll help you tomorrow! She deserves to pay for being so arrogant..."
Fang Wei vowed totally unaware how frightening her features twisted hate was.
...
A shell shocked Pan Li was was frozen while Fang Wei frantically tried to explain herself.
" Brother Wu ! It's not like that! I ...I didn't want anyone to get hurt .I just wanted to teach Su Shuai a small lesson for trying to steal you away from your fans. I didn't mean for Song Xia to fall.It wasn't even my idea! It was all Pan Li's idea and I was being stupid and impulsively agreed after she forced me."
She stuttered as tears flow freely down her cheeks looking at Ren Wu's increasingly darkened expression.
Ren Wu was aware of the dangers of saesang fans when they chased after his cars, followed him to hotels or even calling him getting his number from who knows where. He of course found it inconvenient and irritating but it had never affected him on such a personal level. He always believed it was just the price of being famous.However, this behavior was unacceptable and unforgivable.
' I can't believe that this person who calls themself my fan tried to hurt Shuai Girl just for talking to me! '
Ren Wu felt revolted and his stomach churned with fear.
' Today ,it was trying to push someone down the stairs. Tomorrow ,who knows what could happen...'

Pan Li and Fang Wei were of course punished by the Sillux company .Fang Wei obviously getting the shorter end of the stick as she was the main culprit. She was fired and her actions became well known to insiders in the industry. Most companies wouldn't hire her due to her infamous reputation and her dear idol Ren Wu got a restraining order against her. All fan cafes , websites and merchandise shops also black listed Fang Wei.
While Pan Li who was wealthy,coddled and held in the palm of her parents hands had suffered for the first time in her privileged life. The time and resources spent on the campaign was the only reason that Pan Li was not fired. She had provoked Ren Wu, Cen Yao and Sillux so she could only foolishly dream about remaining in the entertainment industry.

Song Xia was now contemplating the advantages of joining a modeling agency. It would bring her more resources but they could be any kind of job. As she would be bottom of the rung if she joined an Agency and unable to refuse certain tasks . In reality Song Xia understood that she had been incredibly lucky with her modeling jobs . It had been smooth sailing working with decent people. She didn't have to attend tedious auditions nor was she bullied by senior models.There was a lot of unspoken rules and nepotism that she really didn't get involved in.
Another ,great disadvantage is that her Aunt Shi may not necessarily by able to be her agent even if they managed to join the same modeling agency.All in all ,she wanted to enjoy her high school life and grow slowly. Her previous life was so fast placed that she rarely had a chance to do anything. Perhaps ,she would join an agency later or maybe start an agency with her aunt. If she grew as a good model there was still a chance at a high end career that she could do while developing her talent as a designer.
" So , did you hear that Bai Luli rejected Mingli. Like officially rejected him at the dance!She said she deserved better than a playboy and there would be plenty of choices when she got university."
The girls nearby Song Xia's table were still gossiping about Friday's Dance.
Song Xia smiled at least Bai Luli didn't choose a boyfriend who would not appreciate her.
—————DIIII-Riiiiiinnnnnnnggg——————
The shrill sound of the bell rang throughout the school. In the next 7 minutes the Mathematics class would begin. The next class was nearby so Song Xia walked with Jin Yu and Shen Xue. They chatted about her experience in D City. Shen Xue was ready to hunt down Pan Li and Fang Wei at the end of it . Jin Yu rolled her eyes at those two's delusions .
" Did that stylist really believe that the actor Ren Wu would never fall in love or have a girlfriend. Celebrities are people as well and if you claim that you care for them you really should let them live life on their own terms!"
The second bell sounded as the trio of friends took their seats in Teacher Wan Mu's classroom.
