"Xin Xin!" Shi Xin Xin turned her head and saw Yue Ran. She instinctively wanted to run, but Xiao Mi, seeing her movement, grabbed her.
Shi Xin Xin looked at Xiao Mi, as if asking: What are you doing? Xiao Mi met her gaze and asked back: Why run? Let's go in together! Shi Xin Xin conceded: Fine, fine, I'll just consider him a guide. Shi Xin Xin shrugged, looking at Xiao Mi with some helplessness, but she didn't run anymore.
While the two exchanged glances, Yue Ran had already reached them. Yue Ran looked at Shi Xin Xin, smiling broadly, thinking that Shi Xin Xin wasn't dodging him this time! If only he knew Shi Xin Xin's real thoughts, he'd surely spit blood.
Yue Ran looked at Shi Xin Xin and said, "Xin Xin, were you waiting for me?" Shi Xin Xin gave a dry laugh and didn't speak. Yue Ran took it as a default and felt very happy.
Xiao Mi's voice interrupted their thoughts: "Alright, alright, it's about time, let's go in quickly!"
She said this and nudged Yue Ran. Yue Ran reacted and smiled, saying, "Let's go."
After saying that, he started walking forward. Xiao Mi, pulling the still dazed Shi Xin Xin, hurried to catch up with Yue Ran.
"Hey, hey, hey! Xiao Mi, slow down!" Shi Xin Xin snapped back to reality and was startled, quickly tugging Xiao Mi to slow down.
When the three arrived at the agreed meeting point, most people were already there, chatting in small groups. They greeted Yue Ran and Shi Xin Xin as they approached.
Seeing Yue Ran being surrounded by everyone, Shi Xin Xin pulled Xiao Mi and quietly moved to the side. Soon, the director arrived and said a few words, after which they dispersed into smaller groups to discuss.
...
Everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and it was getting late. Shi Xin Xin had drunk a little and was slightly tipsy. Xiao Mi helped her out of the hotel.
At some point, Yue Ran walked up to her and said, "Xin Xin, let me give you a ride home."
Shi Xin Xin was startled and quickly waved her hands: "No need to trouble you, Yue Ran. Xiao Mi can take me."
After saying that, she grabbed Xiao Mi and ran off. Yue Ran stood there, looking a bit dejected, and left with a self-mocking smile.
The official Weibo account announced the wrap-up of the drama, tagging Yue Ran and Shi Xin Xin. The reposts quickly exceeded ten thousand, and there were many comments, mostly directed at Yue Ran, eagerly anticipating the drama's premiere.
The company saw the potential of the drama and began to increase its promotional efforts. Within just a few days, major websites and newspapers were discussing Yue Ran and Shi Xin Xin's new drama. Suddenly, Yue Ran and Shi Xin Xin were in the spotlight.
Seeing the positive response, the company successively released some stills and a trailer.
Before the trailer was released, Shi Xin Xin's popularity was far lower than Yue Ran's. But now, with the trailer out, people saw that Yue Ran and Shi Xin Xin's collaboration was excellent, increasing their anticipation for the drama.
Initially, not many people recognized Shi Xin Xin, and their attention was drawn to her because she was collaborating with a superstar like Yue Ran. Now, after watching the trailer, audiences were captivated by Shi Xin Xin's beauty and acting skills. Shi Xin Xin gained countless followers, and her popularity almost overshadowed Yue Ran's.

Too Lazy to Name: Waiting for this drama to air (●—●)
The official Weibo comment section had many discussions about Shi Xin Xin and Yue Ran, as well as plot points, with hopes for an early release.
The company seized the momentum and held a press conference.
At the press conference, Shi Xin Xin was intimidated by the crowd when she arrived.
"Shi Xin Xin!"
"Shi Xin Xin, I love you!"
"Young lady, cheering for you."
Security guards on both sides tried their best to keep the surging fans at bay. Shi Xin Xin, accompanied by Xiao Mi, finally managed to push through the crowd.
Just as Shi Xin Xin breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the noise behind her grow louder.
"Ahhhh! Yue Ran!"
"Yue Ran, Yue Ran..."
"Yue Ran, I love you!"
So it was Yue Ran who had arrived. No wonder.
Shi Xin Xin was lost in thought.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!"
The cheers startled Shi Xin Xin. She asked Xiao Mi and found out Yue Ran had blown kisses to the fans. She mentally rolled her eyes, thinking this guy really knew how to attract attention!
At the press conference, after the company president, director, Yue Ran, Shi Xin Xin, and others gave their speeches, the reporters began to ask questions.
"Miss Shi Xin Xin, how do you feel about collaborating with Yue Ran this time?" A female reporter directly targeted Shi Xin Xin.
Shi Xin Xin smiled and replied: "I am very fortunate to have collaborated with Yue Ran. He is my senior, and I learned a lot during the collaboration. I am very grateful to him! Thank you!"
...
As reporters continued to ask questions, the president looked at the time and stood up, saying: "That's all for today. Thank you for coming. As for the broadcast time of this drama, we will announce it on the official Weibo account. Please stay tuned!" With that, he let Yue Ran and Shi Xin Xin leave first.
...
After the press conference, Shi Xin Xin became familiar to most people, and her popularity continued to rise.
The official Weibo account soon announced the drama's premiere date, garnering high attention and even trending.
Soon, the drama aired. In its first episode, the viewership rating was firmly in first place, and the online click-through rate exceeded one hundred million. The drama became a huge hit.
The drama, along with Shi Xin Xin and Yue Ran, became the topic of discussion.
As the drama aired, more and more people watched it. Yue Ran and Shi Xin Xin became increasingly popular, and many programs invited them to participate together.
Shi Xin Xin came out after showering, drying her hair, when there was a "knock, knock, knock..." at the door.
Shi Xin Xin walked over and looked through the peephole. It was Xiao Mi. She opened the door and asked, "Xiao Mi, why are you here?"
Xiao Mi was carrying a large pile of things and said, "Quick, let me in first!"
Shi Xin Xin helped her carry some of the items, and they went inside. "Xiao Mi, what are these things you're carrying?"
After putting the items down in the living room, Xiao Mi went to get some water. Shi Xin Xin casually picked up a book and flipped through it. It was an endorsement for a product. She put it aside and picked up another one. Flipping it open, she saw it was a script...
As Shi Xin Xin flipped through them, her mood became increasingly complex. She swallowed and asked in a trembling voice, "Xiao Mi, you didn't sign me up for so much work, did you?! Awoooo~ I'm going to die~" She then collapsed onto the sofa.
Xiao Mi happened to come over with water and flicked Shi Xin Xin's forehead, saying, "How could that be? These are all the endorsements, scripts, and programs that have been recently accepted. The company said they would bring them all to you to pick out anything you're interested in. You don't need to worry about the rest."
After taking a sip of water, she seemed to remember: "Oh, right. The company has already screened out some unsuitable ones, and I've looked through them too. You don't need to worry."
