The gym that had been prepared for her in Orchid Pavilion had been her regular haunt lately.
In the afternoon sun, she sat on the yoga mat and stretched for her post-exercise relaxation session.
Her slender, graceful shadow was projected into the wall to form a beautiful figure.
“Phew.” Shi Jin finished a stretch and released a breath.
She bent down to do a different stretch. It was the choreographer’s designated exercise for the concert. It was slightly more difficult for her, but since she had already agreed, she naturally had to practice to the best of her ability.
“If I don’t do a good job later, help me up,” Shi Jin said to Fu Xiuyuan.
He nodded. “Go on.”
Shi Jin bent down and continued practicing.
Fu Xiuyuan put the file on the sofa, got up, and walked over to her.
He reached out and hooked his long arm around her bent waist.
“Is it not standard?” Shi Jin asked.
“Very standard.” Fu Xiuyuan’s voice was slightly hoarse.
It was so perfect that he couldn’t help but want to get closer.
The two figures projected on the wall were quickly entangled by the man’s approach, gradually becoming one.
The sun started setting before they parted.
Fu Xiuyuan picked up a tired Shi Jin. “Go take a shower.”
Shi Jin came out of the shower and leaned back on the sofa. The evening sun fell on her, making her skin look translucent and fair.
Fu Xiuyuan sat reading a document and the atmosphere became peaceful again.
Yao Jiahong called. “I sent you the new song. See if there’s anything you want to change.”
“Mm, I’ll communicate with you after.”
After Shi Jin finished speaking, she opened WeChat and went over the tune and lyrics. She hummed it softly twice.
The occasional issue, she noted, and followed immediately with another hum.
The air was very quiet so the sounds she made were audible, but Fu Xiuyuan was not affected at all. With her voice accompanying him, he was completely at ease as he carried out his work.

Shi Jin carried the food to the Imperial Capital University’s medical laboratory.
As soon as she arrived, the entire lab crowded around to talk to her.
“Shi Jin, when is your concert going to sell tickets? Have you confirmed the time?”
“I think it’s better not to ask when Shi Jin will sell the tickets. Let’s practice our hand speed first. With our current hand speed, how can we snatch the tickets?”
Everyone laughed. “Okay, okay, okay. Everyone, practice.”
When they were done fooling around, Shi Jin took out a stack of tickets and said, “There’s no need to practice anymore. Everyone has a share!”
“Wow!”
“Good grief!”
The tickets Shi Jin took out were tickets to her concert.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Shi Jin smiled and said, “Consider it as me helping my brother give everyone benefits!”
“Thank you! Thank you, Doctor Gu!”
“That’s great!”
“Eh, where’s my brother?” Shi Jin asked. “I’ve come twice and didn’t see him?”
Everyone sighed at her question.
“What happened?” Shi Jin asked.
“Hey, you still don’t know, right? Ever since Yue Xiu came to Doctor Gu’s company, she has been looking for him every other day. Doctor Gu is almost too busy dealing with her, so he naturally comes less often.”
Shi Jin understood. Old Madam Yue wanted to plant someone by Eldest Brother’s side. Yue Xiu was the best candidate.
In the end, she came over.
From the looks of it, Eldest Brother would have a headache later on.
“Okay, I’ll come back for my eldest brother next time.”
“Okay! Shi Jin, we’ll all be at your concert. Wait for us.”
Shi Jin made an OK gesture.
When she came out, she had arranged to meet Lan Tian for dinner and was about to call her.
Lan Tian’s call came first. “I can’t come over for the time being, Shi Jin. Something came up.”
“It’s okay. Some other time, then.”
“I’m really sorry. It’s mainly Second Uncle Qiao. That sister of his is missing. My parents are helping to find her, so it’s not good for me to leave directly. I have to help too.”
“Do you need our help?”
“No, no. The police have been called. With all of us, it should be enough.”
“Good. Let me know when you find her, too.”
Shi Jin knew that Qiao Zhuoli had a sister with some IQ problems.
Previously, Qiao Zhuoli had come to consult if she could be treated.
Shi Jin had seen the girl at the time. Her condition had been brought about in her mother’s womb, not caused by external factors, so she had regretfully told him there was no way.
She hadn’t expected the girl to get lost.
Fortunately, not long after that night, Lan Tian called to tell Shi Jin that Qiao Zhuoli’s sister had been found.

On the Internet, an unknown little singer was broadcasting live.
“Actually, when it comes to writing songs, it’s really not that simple. Some singers write hundreds of songs a year. I don’t want to say this, but the speed of production is beyond the true realm of human beings. Someone like her has to write them herself or find someone to write them for her. It’s just a pity that people like us don’t have any background or anyone behind us. Even if we could write songs, so what? If no one invests, we won’t be able to produce records or hold concerts.”
The bullet screen asked, “Could the singer you’re talking about be Shi Jin?”
“I was wondering why Shi Jin’s momentum has been so fierce in the past two years. It seems like it’s because she has a good husband.”
“That’s right. She’s known as a songwriter, singer, and actress. In fact, isn’t it because she has Fu Xiuyuan backing her?”
The little singer said, “Let’s not talk about it. If I do, I’ll be banned.”
The rumors spread bit by bit and gradually spread.
In the past few years, Shi Jin’s speed of releasing records had been maintained at a relatively constant speed. Moreover, she basically wrote her own lyrics and composed her own songs. She also maintained her filming schedule and did not miss any of her ordinary activities.
Those who knew knew knew that not only was she talented, but she was also very hardworking. Shi Jin controlled her time well, so there were many things she could do well, but some haters liked to spread rumors.
The studio noticed these small-scale rumors but did not take them to heart.
Public figures were prone to all kinds of discussions, and this in itself was something Shi Jin had to bear.
However, this male singer called Cai Yuning was getting worse.
In the beginning, he only hyped it up a little. Gradually, it was spread that many of Shi Jin’s songs were written by him.
The outside world was also abuzz.
Madam Yue wanted to take care of this matter, but when she saw Yue Yu sitting on the sofa, she could only suppress her thoughts for the time being.
“The medicine is ready, Eldest Miss,” the maid said to Yue Yu.
“Okay, that’s it for now.” Yue Yu glanced in the mirror. The scars on her face were still there, and she looked menacing.
She had been depressed recently, and Madam Yue did not want to make her unhappy again.
