Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“There’s a scene where the male and female leads are on campus. I’ve been away from school for too long, so I wanted to come over and feel the atmosphere and find the feeling of acting.” Qu Ze’s gaze was as gentle as water as it landed on Jiang Yining.

This explanation seemed reasonable.

However, he was a celebrity and was currently popular.

His sudden appearance at the school would undoubtedly attract attention.

Jiang Yining had always felt that her previous actions were too high-profile, so she didn’t want to get too involved with him.

“We have class now. You’re not a student of our class. I’m afraid you’ll disturb our studies.” Jiang Yining invited him out tactfully.

“Sorry, I’ll leave now…” Qu Ze said in disappointment.

Ye Xiaoxi next to her coughed and blushed as she said, “Our school’s management isn’t that strict. We often have students from outside coming to listen. Just sit quietly at the side. As long as you don’t violate the school’s rules, no one will chase you away.”

“That’s right! Our school isn’t that unreasonable! Qu Ze, come and sit with me!”

“Come and sit here!”

“Alih, so handsome!”

The girls collectively went into a frenzy, fighting to get him to sit beside them.

Jiang Yining was speechless.

She thought, “Could they be a bit more sensible? Being handsome, can that be your meal? Her Lu Zhi was still the best. He had the appearance and the inner meaning!”

Qu Ze didn’t go anywhere. Instead, he sat down in the row behind Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi.

The girl who was in close contact with him blushed like a monkey’s butt.

Qu Ze borrowed a book from her and quietly flipped through it.

His gaze occasionally swept past Jiang Yining.

Almost all the girls were absent-minded during the class.

It finally ended…

Everyone rushed forward like a swarm of bees to ask for Qu Ze’s autograph.

Jiang Yining’s scalp went numb when she saw this.

She quickly pulled Ye Xiaoxi and fled.

Qu Ze avoided the crowd of girls and finally caught up with Jiang Yining. His eyes were sparkling as he said, “Miss Jiang, I don’t know if you’re free. I’d like to invite you… and Miss Ye to have a meal together.”

“Why are you treating me to a meal for no reason?” Jiang Yining asked.

“I’m very grateful that you chose me as the male lead.” Qu Ze was truly grateful to her. It wasn’t easy for him to enter the entertainment industry. His family was only considered well-off. He didn’t have any connections or backers. He had to rely on himself entirely.

After being in obscurity for a long time, he finally for the lead role. Other well-known actors in the company had refused to take on the relatively unknown script, and it eventually landed on him.

But he didn’t despise it. He seriously pondered and studied it for a long time. In the end, the effect of the performance was unexpectedly good.

That was how he gained some fame.

However, if he didn’t follow up with more quality scripts and only relied on the popularity of one drama, the audience would quickly forget him.

He was eager to take on better scripts, even if it was just idol dramas and not serious ones.

He would do his best to act.

However, the company didn’t have much confidence in him. They assigned him Bai Yang, an agent who only knew how to take unconventional routes. The first time he was chosen as the main character, it was because Director Ma had taken a fancy to him. Later, he heard that Jiang Yining wasn’t satisfied with him and Yu Siqi and even wanted to replace him directly and not give him any more chances to audition.

In the end, he tried his best to get the company to agree reluctantly. However, the company also sent another big shot over.

In Bai Yang’s words, he was just a supporting role, a spare tire.

The company never expected him to be selected.

However, no one expected…

Jiang Yining chose him over everyone else.

The company was overjoyed.

Qu Ze was already familiar with the company’s tendency to praise those in power and oppress the weak, so he wasn’t surprised at all.

The success this time was due to his own hard work and Jiang Yining consistently adhering to the principles of fairness and justice in her selection.

Therefore, he had deliberately freed up time to come and find her.

Jiang Yining, upon hearing Qu Ze’s words, said, “You don’t have to thank me. You deserve everything you’ve got. If you aren’t strong enough, I will give up on you and choose someone else.”

“Miss Jiang, it’s precisely because of this that I have to thank you.” Qu Ze said, “The most precious thing in the entertainment industry is fairness.”

“Yining, don’t push it away. The three of us will go eat together.”

Ye Xiaoxi urged.

She wanted to hear some gossip from Qu Ze about the entertainment industry.

After all, wasn’t Luo Zhixiang just involved in a major scandal recently?

His girlfriend, whom he had been in love with for ten years and was about to get married, had broken up with him. She had even written a lengthy post on Weibo, listing in detail his crimes of meeting fans and other women in private, cheating on more than a dozen people at the same time, and even engaging in ■group sports’ with several male friends!

Now, Weibo was in an uproar.

Many people left comments to follow this matter.

Hmm…

She wanted to enjoy the show.

Ye Xiaoxi eagerly looked at Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining said, “I’m not very hungry. Let’s go get some drinks.”

“Sure, are there any shops nearby that you recommend?” Qu Ze’s eyes were filled with smiles.

“There’s a bubble tea shop. It’s pretty good,” Ye Xiaoxi said.

“Let’s go to that one.”

“Yes!”

The three of them went to buy drinks together, but the shop was too crowded and there were no seats.

Then, they decided to head to the sports stadium.

Coincidentally, two basketball teams were competing, and the stadium was very lively.

They sat in chairs nearby, drinking and chatting.

Jiang Yining didn’t say much.

Ye Xiaoxi asked countless questions.

Qu Ze answered one by one.

Ye Xiaoxi knew a lot of inside information. She patted Qu Ze’s shoulder sympathetically and said, “It’s been hard on you. You’re still so young, yet you’re still in such a chaotic industry.”

“Most of the people in the industry are good. It’s just that a small group of them has ruined the atmosphere.” Qu Ze said, “I believe that as long as we persist, there will be more and more people like me who will stick to their bottom line.”

“Yeah, keep it up!”

Ye Xiaoxi encouraged.

Qu Ze smiled.

Just as the two of them were chatting happily, Jiang Yining secretly glanced at the text message.

Lu Zhi sent her a message asking where she was.

Jiang Yining replied, “I’m watching a basketball game in the stadium.”

“Hmm? Why are you suddenly interested in basketball?” Lu Zhi instinctively felt a sense of crisis.

The basketball court was a place where male hormones erupted. Didn’t girls like to gather there and openly look at the boys they liked?

She had never heard Yining mention that she liked to go to the basketball court.

Jiang Yining bit on the straw and smiled. “Xiaoxi brought me here. I thought they were playing quite well.”

After a pause, she added another message.

“Especially the captain of the blue team. He’s especially tall and handsome.”

“???”

Jiang Yining looked at the three question marks on the screen, which were filled with killing intent and sourness, and almost spat out the fruit tea.

“Send me your location. I’ll be there immediately.”

“Shouldn’t you be busy at this time?” Jiang Yining said slowly.

“I’m very free today.”

In other words, he definitely had the time to come over and catch her!

Jiang Yining’s behavior was upright and proper.

Without any hesitation, she sent him the location.

Then, she turned off her phone and looked up at the court.

At this moment.

A basketball flew towards her.

Qu Ze stood up without thinking and opened his arms to block her.

Bang!

The basketball hit his back and bounced to the side..
