Ruan Xiaoxiao was so close to blurting out that she would love anything Fu Qingye bought her. Fortunately, a tiny bit of her sanity held on, but the excitement stirred her vocal cords to hit high notes. “Delicious. Any flavor is delicious.”

“For me too.” Jiang Xuanxuan nodded her head.

Oh gawd. Was she just blessed with all the luck in the world? She could not believe that Qingye was here in person, chatting and laughing away before her eyes.

The pair was beyond ecstatic. Unable to take their eyes away, they were completely glued on him as if Fu Qingye would disappear at a moment’s distraction.

Fu Qingye softly rubbed Shen Xi’s head while asking with a smile, “Do you need anything for the military training later? I can arrange for Jing Yu to make purchases.”

Jiang Xuanxuan was gawping at this point as envy filled her to the core. Qingye could strike an arrow through every teenager’s heart by that head-stroking. He was such a gentle and considerate man!

Ruan Xiaoxiao was also envious. So, was this what Xixi meant by not being close to Fu Qingye? Only a working relations.h.i.+p, she said. If delivering bubble tea, cotton candy, and stroking heads did not define a close relations.h.i.+p, Ruan Xiaoxiao was unsure what was.

“No, I’m good. Mom got everything ready for me.” Instead of shying away, Shen Xi let Fu Qingye brush her head. She lifted her chin to meet his eye. “Did anyone spot you on your way here?”

Fu Qingye cheerfully answered, “I pretended I was Big Brother when I came over.”

Having caught on, Shen Xi comprehensively nodded and gave him the thumbs up. It was a good choice. Fu Qingli’s unapproachable and icy countenance could scare people away.

Ruan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan had no idea what they were talking about nor were they paying attention as they were drooling over Fu Qingye. They could not get enough of him and could even go on staring at him for a thousand years.

“Are you leaving now or later?” Shen Xi asked.

Fu Qingye helplessly smiled. The girl must not want to see him since she was kicking him out already. However, he really missed her as he had not seen her after filming National Idol. “Which one is your room?”

Shen Xi pointed to the back of him.

Fu Qingye looked back and glanced upon the room with the door wide open next to Shen Xi’s. It was hard not to look as the walls were plastered with giant posters of him. There was even a life-size pillow of him on the bed.

Shen Xi followed his gaze and had the shock of her life. Soon, she was dying of laughter inside.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Jiang Xuanxuan caught sight of Qingye glancing at her room. She nervously rushed over and shut the door with a wham. With a flush rus.h.i.+ng to her cheeks, Jiang Xuanxuan was at a loss for words.

Oh, sh*t.

How could she remedy the situation now that Qingye saw it all? Would he think she was a psycho?

Fu Qingye spontaneously turned his eyes away and changed the subject, uttering with a warm curl on his lips. “You have a nice dorm.”

As a celebrity, Fu Qingye was familiar with the diversity of fans and knew there were random collectible stuff, pillows, action figures, and posters of him. Nevertheless, this was the first time he had seen it with his very own eyes.

Shen Xi bobbed her head. “Not bad, right?”

With her head spinning, Jiang Xuanxuan wanted nothing more than to find a crack on the floor and hide in it. How could she forget to close the door?

Ruan Xiaoxiao was relieved that she had a habit of closing the door whenever she went out. Since she had a lot of Qingye’s collectibles in her room, it would be awkward if he saw it.

Despite their first meeting, Jiang Xuanxuan and Ruan Xiaoxiao were going weak in the knees by Fu Qingye’s friendliness and gentleness. Still, they knew better than to ask for more. With an opportunity knocking at their door, they mustered up the courage to ask for an autograph and a picture.

Fu Qingye did not stay for long. He put on his sungla.s.ses and mask.

Standing by the door, Ruan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan watched Fu Qingye disappear into the hallway before das.h.i.+ng back to their room. They ran to the balcony to observe him leave the dormitory.

Sipping on the straw, Shen Xi looked at the girls. “The ice is about to melt if you’re not going to drink that.”

Ruan Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “I can’t drink this!”

Jiang Xuanxuan was in the same mind. “This is sacred!”

The girls could not bring themselves to take a sip out of the bubble tea bought by Fu Qingye. They went into a full-on conversation that the bubble tea might go bad due to the hot weather. Hence, they were contemplating whether to buy a fridge to store the bubble tea.

Shen Xi, “…”

She got to give it to true fans!

Due to Fu Qingye’s sudden visit, Jiang Xuanxuan and Ruan Xiaoxiao wors.h.i.+ped Shen Xi like a G.o.d. Qingye really spoiled Shen Xi with that doting look when talking to her. The girls were willing to have their lives reduced by ten years if Qingye could do the same to them.

However, their common sense was able to differentiate that Qingye really pampered Xixi while to them, he was merely displaying his well-bred manners.

The pair were still in a state of euphoria even as they departed for the military camp. They brought along the autographed photo as a lucky charm which was actually a permitted item.

The bus was already waiting by the time the trio gathered at the main square. Over three thousand freshmen lined up in an orderly fas.h.i.+on as they got into the bus one by one.

The bus had sixty-one seats and Shen Xi’s cla.s.s had forty-three students. Since all the s.p.a.ces had to be filled, the remaining seats would be filled by students of other cla.s.ses.

It never occurred to Shen Xi that she would run into Su Ruowan so soon. Su Ruowan was taking the same bus as her.

Su Ruowan did not enroll in a film academy. Her grades were good enough to keep her top two at No. 4 High School, but Shen Xi and Yu Yuanxi caught up and pulled her down the ranking. Still, she held on her own in the top five and applied to study media broadcasting and hosting.

The school of media broadcasting and hosting was in the art stream. Ranked first in the whole of China, the school of media broadcasting at Capital University had high prerequisites on looks and personal style. Su Ruowan’s school caused heads to turn when they got onto the bus. Shen Xi’s cla.s.smates enviously whispered among themselves.

Sitting next to Shen Xi was Jiang Xuanxuan while Ruan Xiaoxiao sat in the same row but was separated by the aisle. With the pair very much into gossip, they began sharing the latest buzz when the school of media broadcasting walked in.

“She must be Su Ruowan.”

“She looks so pretty. I’m surprised she looks like sh*t without makeup.”

“She did post her bare face after that. She’s not that ugly. I think she said the production crew made her a scapegoat and threw her under the bus.”

“A scapegoat? Her plagiarism has to be true. We’re not allowed to bring cosmetics for military training. I’m sure we’d be able to see if that’s her bare face sooner or later.”

The pair were dis.h.i.+ng the dirt about the infamous Su Ruowan.

Although Su Ruowan heard everyone talking and focusing on her, she kept up with her graceful and affable appearance, looking the other way of the gossip.

Her best friend, Chen Bingbing, was by her side.. Catching a glimpse of Shen Xi, Chen Bingbing contemptuously approached the former and condescendingly asked, “Shen Xi, I heard you attended Screenwriter Cloud Seven’s audition. What role are you playing?”
