A handsome and trendy boy, dressed in fashionable attire and exuding a sunny disposition, had just finished a day of recording and was rushing to leave the scene to catch his flight at the airport.
"Can Xi, where are you going?" His manager hurriedly caught up with his steps. "It's so late, and you still want to go back to see your sister? There's a celebration later, and everyone can be absent except for you!"
"Can Xi, are you even listening to me?" The manager became anxious, huffing and puffing as he chased after him. "Why do you have such long legs for no reason!"
Seeing Li Can Xi enter the elevator, the manager hurriedly caught up and managed to squeeze into the elevator at the last second, panting in embarrassment.
"There's no one chasing you, why are you walking so fast without waiting for me!"
"Who asked you to have short legs?" The boy with distinct and handsome features finally spoke, his face so good-looking that it seemed flawless.
"You..." The manager couldn't be angry when faced with this exceptionally handsome face, so he had to explain, "I know you're in a hurry to go home and see your sister, but we've been delayed for so many days, is it really necessary to leave tonight?"
"It's not like your sister is the one I'm worried about, right?" Li Can Xi raised an attractive eyebrow, warning, "This is non-negotiable. I must go home tonight."
"Fine, fine, if you insist on going back, should I book the tickets for you?" The manager walked out of the elevator, helplessly taking out his phone.
He was probably the most powerless manager in history...
In the past three months, they had participated in a variety show called "Chasing Dreams Together." The show revolved around a group of young boys who went through multiple rounds of selections, and eventually, 99 exceptionally talented boys in singing and dancing were selected and sent overseas to a beautiful place for three months of training and stage performances.
Li Can Xi, as an internationally renowned top idol with outstanding singing and dancing abilities, was sought after by the show's producers to be the resident mentor and music instructor, leading these trainees to chase their dreams with all their might.
Because of his heavy responsibilities, Li Can Xi had stayed in this place for three whole months, spending every day training the trainees and imparting professional knowledge.
Finally, today was the last day of recording, and he was eager to rush home to see his sister!
He had already delayed for too many days!
If it weren't for the purpose of nurturing new talent, allowing diversity to bloom in the entertainment industry, and setting an example for the younger generation, he would have really wanted to give up halfway and go home to see his sister!
Manager Lao K meant that the show's crew had arranged a celebration party for tonight, and all the backstage staff and selected trainees would attend. Since visiting his sister had been delayed for so long, missing this celebration for a little while wouldn't make much of a difference.
But Li Canxi, this ancestor, has a strong temperament. There's no way around it. After all, he's the one who spoiled this guy's temper! When the plane finally took off, Li Canxi looked into the distance, his hazy eyes filled with unease and anxiety.
"Do you think my sister will like me?" His clear voice sounded pleasant.
"Definitely!" Old K didn't hesitate and said, "With such a popular celebrity brother like you, so handsome and sunny, who wouldn't like you?"
"..."
"Just look at those fans. Every time, they surround you three layers inside and out, shouting loudly that they want to have your baby. Whenever you appear, does traffic not come to a standstill? Do the police not mobilize? With your level of popularity, your sister must have heard your songs, and most likely, she's your fan too, running after you with a pen, begging for your autograph! Just put your worries aside!"
"..." Li Canxi thought, if his sister really likes his songs, he can sing them exclusively for her. Forget about autographs; he would take as many photos with her as she wanted! The center stage at the concert would always be reserved for her! She would accompany him on every show! As long as his sister is happy, that's all that matters.
At this moment, his sister had just woken up, finished washing up, and when she came downstairs, she saw Li Yusha looking at her with jealousy, as if wishing to tear her apart.
"Yanyan, you're awake?" Song Qiaoying sat on the sofa, drinking flower tea. When she saw her coming down the spiral staircase, she smiled and said, "You've been sleeping for a whole day! You must be famished, right? The food in the kitchen is still warm; go and eat!"
Aunt Lan, standing beside them, smiled and said, "Miss Qing Yan must have had a heavy study load to get the top score. Now that the results are out, you can finally sleep peacefully. You must not have slept well during regular days!"
"This child loves to study too much," Song Qiaoying said, looking at Qing Yan, "Yanyan, in your own home, you can sleep as long as you want, no need to worry about anything."
Qing Yan smiled faintly, "Alright."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Si asked his personal butler to bring some gifts just now. They're to congratulate you on getting the top score. Also, Archen came earlier but found out you were asleep and didn't want to disturb you, so he left the gifts," Aunt Lan explained.
Qing Yan followed the line of sight and saw the gifts from Grandpa Si and Si Yechen, piled up like two small mountains, as if the two were competing with each other.
It's just getting the top score; is it necessary to make such a fuss??
"Shall I have someone move these gifts to your room?"
"Sure."
"The butler said Mr. Si personally selected everything inside, so they must be valuable. Mr. Si is too courteous. It's evident he really likes you..."
When Song Qiaoying spoke, Li Yusha couldn't bear it and bit her lower lip with resentment evident in her eyes. She wished she could replace Qing Yan.
Qing Yan suddenly realized why, when she had just come downstairs earlier, Li Yusha had looked at her with eyes full of hostility, as if wanting to devour her alive. It turned out to be because of this matter!
With this in mind, Qing Yan smirked, feeling even better. She grabbed a bite to eat, exchanged a few words with Song Qiaoying, and then took her car keys and left.
As she walked out of the main hall, she saw a maid leading a wealthy young lady inside, carrying many gifts in her hands.
Qing Yan had seen this wealthy young lady, Sang Qi, a few times before. Every time, she would come with bags of gifts to visit Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying. Rumor had it that she was interested in Wu Ge (Fifth Young Master), but Qing Yan wasn't interested in the specifics. Due to the distance between them, Qing Yan didn't proactively greet her and instead turned towards the garage.
The closer she got to the airport, the more congested the road became. The usual twenty-minute journey took Qing Yan a full forty minutes, and she still hadn't reached the main road near the airport.
What day was it today??
Qing Yan thought it over in her mind; it didn't seem like any important holiday or a day off.
Could something significant have happened in the country, causing those who received the news to prepare to leave in advance?
Otherwise, why would everyone be rushing to the airport like this?
Although she left early, she found herself stuck on a bridge near the airport, not moving at all.
As time ticked away, she might not be able to meet Nan Qiao's subordinate and get that little pill!
With this thought in mind, she started the engine and maneuvered through tight spaces in a bid to survive the traffic jam.
