"Okay, okay, everyone just ignore him. Let's continue. These bodyguards nowadays, they are just too much."

"Oh my, Miss Sisi, that bodyguard actually dares to speak to you like that, but what he said does make sense. You can tell he's really concerned about you. I guess he's a loyal fan of yours too."

"Him? Give me a break. What an annoying guy, hasn't even listened to a few of my songs. Just a jerk of a bodyguard, a super jerk, always so fierce, yet I have to pay him every last penny. Humph. Continue..."

Li Sisi's playful expression made the girls accompanying her for the rehearsal smile.

They were all part of dance groups or dance schools, and being invited to dance wasn't uncommon. But to encounter such an approachable celebrity like Li Sisi was rare, even more so to have a star chatting with them and taking selfies without any airs.

"Ah..."

Well, the thing we wished wouldn't happen still happened.

Just what Xiaofan cautioned so earnestly against happened as if against our wishes.

At the sound, Xiaofan's figure instantly appeared at the rehearsal venue.

A few girls surrounded Li Sisi with concern, and Li Sisi's brows knitted together deeply.

Squatting down, Xiaofan immediately reached out to touch her previously injured ankle.

"Ah..."

"Serves you right. Hurt more, why don't you..."

"Hey, can't you say something nice?"

"Can't be disabled..."

"Then, what about my concert?" As expected, Li Sisi was mostly worried about not being able to be on stage the night of the concert.

Upon hearing this, Xiaofan looked up at Li Sisi, sighed in his heart, and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm here."

"Hehe..." Finally, the furrowed brows relaxed instantly and revealed a sweet smile.

"What are you laughing at? That's it for today. You all can go back first, the next rehearsal time will be notified later, thank you all for your hard work." Xiaofan said blandly to the other girls.

At Xiaofan's polite greeting, the girls were taken aback, their first reaction being, wow, this bodyguard is so handsome, so charming. No wonder, even though Li Sisi keeps badmouthing him, she still keeps him around; it's not like he doesn't have any redeeming qualities.

"Alright, stop taking photos. If you've taken any, don't post them, so as not to make everyone worry. You heard what that guy just said, it's fine, she'll make it to the concert. You can all head back now."

Li Sisi turned around, smiling wryly, and said this to everyone before leaving the rehearsal hall with the help of Feng Feifei, who had come over upon hearing the news.

Not post? With this kind of headline news, how could these girls miss the chance to gain followers on Weibo? Li Sisi had just stepped out the door and got into the car, and even before reaching Xiaofan's house, her Weibo was flooded with inquiries numbering in the tens of thousands.

Once again dominating the entire entertainment industry's headlines, previous rumors about fake fans causing Li Sisi's ankle injury were confirmed, and videos of her concern about not being able to perform on time at the concert were also released. Oh my, many fans were nearly moved to tears.

Those staunch supporters of Li Sisi posted continuously on Weibo. Meanwhile, the media were scrambling to find Li Sisi's residence, eager to be the first to interview her and obtain firsthand information.

But this time, Li Sisi was content to recuperate at Xiaofan's place and go nowhere else.

"Hey, why aren't you scolding me anymore?"

"Is scolding you useful?"

"Come on, just a few words. It's weird you haven't said anything in two days."

"Enough, scolding you is just wasting my breath. I have no idea how much mental energy Sister Fei expends for your sake, working with you is not something ordinary people could do."

"Hey, didn't you get kicked out? Then why did you rush over as soon as that happened? You've been really worried about me, watching over me, right?"

"..."

After winter arrived, the cold wind blew past, rattling the windows, but inside the house, the heating was adequate, and no chill was felt.

Sitting quietly on the sofa, Li Sisi once again let this guy knead her injured spot with abandon. Although strange emotions always arose in her heart, she had to admit, this guy's massage technique was excellent. Each time after acupuncture, she felt completely fine.

Without makeup, Li Sisi looked even more pure and cute. Her skin was fair and delicate to begin with, and makeup was only to make her more photogenic.

"What are you doing? Worried is worried, just admit it. What's the use of not saying anything?"

"Stop wearing such short clothes at my house next time. At the very least, wear safety shorts. That Winnie the Pooh is peeking out."

"Huh? Ah? You pervert, you lecher."

Somehow, Xiaofan diverted the topic. He was just concerned, really. When will this girl ever give him peace of mind?

"Brother, did you take advantage of Sisi again?" Feng Feifei came downstairs, having heard Li Sisi's shout, and could pretty much guess the situation.

"Hmm? Just a little, who told her not to learn her lesson? This is my house after all, does she not see me as a man?" Xiaofan pouted and laughed.

"You dead wolf, you say if I wear something short you'll be looking?"

"If you dare to wear it, I dare to look. Seriously, how can I not look if it's there? Hey, where's Li San?"

"Oh, Liu Peng just called saying they went to buy hotpot ingredients. We're having hotpot tonight."

"Hmm. Good idea."

Liu Peng has already confirmed Li San and Xiaofan's identities, no need to spell it out or ask more questions, just go about their business. However, at the dining table, the clinking of glasses was endless.

Finally, on the second day of winter break, Li Sisi's concert officially kicked off.

Oh wow, just like that, another holiday season arrived.

At six o'clock in the evening, the gates of Capital University were about to burst with people. Police responsible for security were distributed throughout the campus in large numbers. The concert was scheduled to start at eight, but there was already a long line at the main entrance of the stadium, everyone eager to get inside.

Backstage in the dressing room, staff were busy preparing, ensuring the lighting, music, and other elements were flawless.

The coordination for stage movements had to be meticulously arranged. They even used aerial wires.

"Hey, Sister Fei, where's Shen Zhifan?" Li Sisi, who was putting on makeup, hadn't seen Xiaofan for twenty minutes, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Wasn't it agreed that he'd bring his little girlfriend over? Look, he's probably out now."

"Oh, right, this guy, he forgets about us the moment he has a girlfriend. Humph, I don't care about him, anyhow I have so many fans who love me. Sis, are there lots and lots of people outside?"
