Chapter 4: Luo Nanxi secretly eats hot pot 4
Dai Xi's back was like fresh snow in winter, with white and transparent skin emitting a softer light than pearls. But a large area of burnt red occupied this beautiful skin, so dazzling, so scary!
I carefully applied the ointment my agent had bought for him, feeling a pang of pain in my heart.
Mr. Ming He said that Dai Xi was in a daze during the photo shoot because she had a quarrel with me. She kept asking about my situation, which angered An Zhenxuan. An Zhenxuan liked Dai Xi, so they quarreled and pulled each other. Unexpectedly, the kettle suddenly fell down, causing Dai Xi to be slightly burned.
Although it was Daixi's fault, I still felt sad when I saw such a large burn. This skin is ten thousand times more beautiful than my rough skin, but it was hurt so carelessly.
"Don't worry, I won't blame you." Dai Xi said sullenly.
"But aren't you sad? You must be a very dedicated model." I couldn't help but ask, remembering how professional and dedicated Dai Xi was when she was at the TV station.
Dai Xi didn't say anything. After I applied the medicine, he put on his shirt in silence.
There was a knock on the door. It turned out to be Mr. Ming He. Dai Xi motioned me to open the door. I had just opened it halfway when Mr. Ming He ran in in a panic and said:
"Daixi, this is bad. Your job this time has been cancelled. Aiqila will replace you!"
Dai Xi's face changed drastically.
Akira? I think this name is very familiar.
Dai Xi jumped up: "Why? Why replace me?"
Mr. Ming He said, "It's because you got hurt! This time we're doing a fashion endorsement, and we need to shoot evening gowns and dresses. When we heard that you got burned, the advertiser decided to replace you."
"This is too fast. Who leaked the news that I was burned?" Dai Xi was extremely angry.
"Dai Xi, many people saw that you were burned, and the competition in the modeling industry is very fierce, you should understand that." Mr. Ming He said sadly.
Dai Xi sat down dejectedly, her whole body petrified.
I couldn't help but ask, "Is this endorsement rare? Can it be redeemed?"
Ming He shook his head. "This endorsement is very rare, and it's a collaboration with a superstar. Even Dai Xi's fame really requires this job. But Akira is a popular model at a rival company. She and Dai Xi are competitors of the same type..."
Mr. Ming He sighed in frustration.
I don’t understand these, but I still feel a little sad when I see Dai Xi looking lonely.
What should I do? The atmosphere is so depressing now, and I can't think of any topic to cheer everyone up. Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind.
"Wait a minute, isn't the kettle in the studio fixed? Why did it suddenly fall over?"
"Huh?" Mr. Minghe and Daixi immediately looked at me.
"I've only been in the studio once. The bottle of water is very heavy. It shouldn't fall over for no reason."
"So what do you mean?"
"Could it be... that someone deliberately pushed over the kettle?" I expressed my doubts.
"This..." Mr. Ming He stood up and said seriously, "I'll check it out right away."
After watching Mr. Ming He leave, I walked towards Dai Xi and said, "Hey, cheer up. Even if your job is taken away by someone else, you can still find a new endorsement."
Dai Xi looked at me in a daze and said, "You don't understand at all..."
I don't understand?
Dai Xi lay down on the sofa, her blue eyes flashing with melancholy.
“You have no idea how important work is to me.”
"Since work is so important, why are you clamoring to change your identity back?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Dai Xi glared at me fiercely. He suddenly became angry, and a red flame swept across his deep blue eyes.
"These are two different things. I don't want you to care!"
"Hey, I care about you. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
"I..." Dai Xi didn't tell the reason in the end. I felt a little sad. Am I not his friend yet?
“Knock, knock.”
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I was about to ask who it was when I saw Dai Xi quickly stand up and sit up straight, ignoring the injury on her back.
"What are you doing?" I was stunned. He was wilted just now like a flower that had lost its water.
"Shh!"
He squinted his eyes hard. The person outside the door was knocking again and asked loudly:
"Who's in there? Open the door quickly, we need to use this dressing room."
I had to open the door, but before I could see clearly, I was pushed away by a fat black shadow.
A clamorous voice shouted:
"Okay, let's take this one. Our Ai Qila has decided to use this dressing room."
Who is this person?
Her fat body, as fat as a pig, was squeezed into a black long skirt. She was covered in jewels and precious stones. Her fat round face was covered in thick powder. When she spoke, the only visible part of her face was her bright red mouth, which opened and closed - so ugly.
The woman turned around, and suddenly pointed at me with her fat hand, saying, "You, go back to where you came from, and don't get in the way here!"
"Hey, who's an eyesore? Who are you talking about?" I was furious.
"I'm talking about you. You're just a third-rate model. Do you think you can show up in front of our Ai Qila? As our top agent, I will never allow that!"
"I am a third-rate model?" I was so angry that I couldn't speak.
In order to avoid making a fool of herself, Dai Xi had already found a set of men's clothes for me to change into. Although what I wore was not a brand name, it was not bad. What right did she have to say that about me? Besides, who was Ai Qila? I was not even afraid of Dai Xi, so why would I care about Ai Qila?
Hey, wait, Akira?
The fat woman thought I had nothing to say and was feeling proud, but then she heard a majestic and cold snort.
"Fat auntie, you've come out again to embarrass yourself. Where is your country girl Aiqila ? Why doesn't she come out to worship me?" Dai Xi looked at the fat auntie like a princess, with nothing but contempt in her eyes.
The fat aunt shuddered and sneered at Dai Xi: "Haha, it turns out to be the outdated supermodel Dai Xi. I'm sorry, your starlight is too dim, and I didn't even notice you."
Dai Xi's calm expression cracked.
Only then did I realize that the fat aunt was deliberately ignoring Dai Xi.
Dai Xi added, "I heard that a weekly magazine published a list of the top 10 earning artists, and I'm ranked third this year. Where is your Akira? Oh, by the way, I remember that your Akira wasn't even on the list!"
The fat lady gnashed her teeth and said, "Yes, our Ai Qila is still young, so of course we have to give way to the old people now!"
What a sharp tongue! Both Daixi and the fat aunt were so sharp. They had a verbal battle in front of me, which really opened my eyes. If it weren't for Daixi's shoulders shaking slightly, I would have almost forgotten that he was still injured.
No, I have to drive the fat aunt away. As long as she stays here, Dai Xi will have to deal with her.
"That..." I forced myself to squeeze into their "fire ring".
"What do you want to do?" The fat lady glanced at me sideways, and suddenly her eyes shone brightly. "You are really good-looking. Are you interested in signing with my company? I will train you for three months and I guarantee you will become a big star."
Dai Xi immediately said sarcastically: "Don't bother, he is my man, how could he sign you."
The fat lady looked at me with eyes that shot out flying knives: "Humph, it is true, you little bastard, you will never be famous in your life."
"I don't want to be famous. I just want to remind you that we will use this dressing room first, so you can go to another room."
"What? You're actually chasing me away? Do you know who I am? Do you know that our Ai Qila is coming soon..." The fat aunt started to argue as excitedly as a turkey.
"Wow, Akira finally found you, my prince!"
thump!
A golden figure suddenly rushed over and pounced on me.
I was so dizzy and my eyes were full of stars. Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard Dai Xi yelling angrily -
"Get off me, Aiqila!"
