Chapter 67 Ye Zi
The moment he saw the girl's face clearly, Lin Li knew that he had suffered a small social death today.

"You are? Nan Da?"

The girl who was putting on makeup was a little angry when someone called her by the wrong name, and she thought she was being hit on.

He was just about to scold the drunk in front of him who reeked of alcohol, but when he saw Lin Li's recognizable face, he recognized him at once.

Lin Li touched his nose embarrassedly: "Well, sorry, I had dinner with my classmates today and got drunk. I didn't see you clearly and mistook you for a friend of mine. I'm very sorry."

"Ah, it's okay, I understand. Renmin University is not far from here. Do you need me to take you back to Nanjing University?"

The girl waved her hand, looking nonchalant.

If someone else said this, she would definitely think that this is a different era and this way of chatting up is too old-fashioned.

But this is Lin Li, it’s Master Nanxun, so what he said must be true!

The girl’s face is very interesting. When she wasn’t smiling, she looked very cold, like a noble young lady.

But now when he waves his hands and smiles, he looks very cute, even a little silly.

At this time, he recognized who the girl in front of him was, but he didn't expect that the first time he met her would be in such a scene.

He quickly glanced at the girl in front of him and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. I can go back by myself. I just drank too much earlier. I'm much more sober now after washing my face."

After a pause, he began to guide: "Are you eating here too?"

The girl nodded obediently: "Yes, Nanjing University. I am a student of Beijing Film Academy. I am here for dinner with my classmates today."

"By the way, my name is Zhou Ye."

Having achieved his goal, Lin Li curled his lips and said, "Hello Zhou Ye, we are acquainted now. Since you are also in the same industry, please add me as your contact information. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Zhou Ye was slightly excited when he heard this and quickly took out his phone: "Okay, okay."

After adding her as a friend, and looking at her cute cartoon avatar, Lin Li pretended to be curious and asked her: "Classmate Zhou Ye, what do your friends usually call you? I'll make a note of it."

Zhou Ye raised his little face and showed a silly smile: "As for me, my friends all call me Ye Zi, and you can call me that at Nanda too, hehe."

He was also somewhat touched by the other person's cute smile, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "Then I will also call you Ye Zi, and you can also call me Ali. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future."

Zhou Ye nodded repeatedly after listening to this, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, like a happy puppy.

"I'm going back to the room now. How about we contact each other when we're free?"

"Oh, I'm going back too."

"Let's go then."

"Uh-huh"

The two turned around and walked back, unexpectedly heading in the same direction. After saying hello and saying goodbye, he saw Zhou Ye walking towards the innermost private room. Only then did he realize that the private room that the waiter mentioned had been booked a long time ago was the one Zhou Ye and his friends had booked.

Back in the private room, everyone started teasing him about his poor alcohol tolerance. Lin Li didn't dare to refute him, but he was complaining in his heart.

"How much alcohol can one drink to withstand you guys forcing me to drink like this?"

Xu Wanqing came over with a concerned look on her face: "Lin Li, are you okay? They are too noisy, drink less."

He quickly moved back: "Thank you for your concern, I will pay attention."

But it's a rare opportunity to catch him, so how can the classmates fulfill his wish?
Seeing Chen Chao not only not helping him but also coming towards him with a wine glass in hand and a smug look on his face, Lin Li didn't want to endure it any longer!
He rolled up the cuffs of his long-sleeved shirt, unbuttoned the two buttons below his neck, and walked forward with a murderous look on his face.

"Sun Thief, one of us must die today!"

On the other side, Zhou Ye returned to the private room.

Today was a reunion for their classmates from the 16 class of the Beijing Film Academy. Except for Guan Xiaotong who was filming and couldn't make it, everyone else came.

Seeing her come back, Wang Ziqi, who was chatting with someone, turned around and asked curiously: "Yezi, why did you go to the toilet alone for so long?"

Zhou Ye was still immersed in the joy of meeting Nanda and adding Nanda as a friend. He didn't hear clearly for a moment and looked up with a confused look on his face.

"what?"

Wang Ziqi looked amused and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you like a lost soul?"

Zhou Ye finally reacted and grinned: "No, it's okay. Girls just touch up their makeup."

"Oh, is it so?"

Wang Ziqi looked at her suspiciously and felt that she was a little abnormal.

Zhou Ye sat down and nodded: "Yes, yes."

"By the way, what are you guys talking about?"

Not wanting to talk to them any more about what had just happened, Zhou Ye quickly changed the subject.

Li Gengyun next to Wang Ziqi took over the conversation: "Let's talk about Nan Xun who is very popular recently. He is really amazing. His first drama was so popular that he made our senior Li Mingde from the previous class famous overnight."

Wang Ziqi also echoed: "Yes, the most popular one is still Tian Xiwei from Shanghai Theatre Academy. She became famous overnight! I heard that she will partner with the prince from Haohan to play the female lead. Such resources are really enviable." Zhou Ye thought of the movie he had just finished filming, and then compared it with Tian Xiwei. He felt a little discouraged. Her movie was an art film and there was no possibility of increasing her popularity.

"He is the one who made her famous!"

Zhou Ye thought of Lin Li, whom he had just met, and was a little absent-minded.

Wang Ziqi saw Zhou Ye was in a daze again. She always felt that something was strange about him after he came back, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Hey, I'm back to my soul."

Zhou Ye was startled, then he reacted and smiled innocently: "Ah, it's really amazing."

Li Gengyun, who was standing by, complained: "Yezi, how come you look like a lost soul after going out for a while?"

Zhou Ye shook his head: "No, I was just wondering when I can become as popular as Tian Xiwei."

Wang Ziqi took a sip of wine, leaned back in his chair and sighed: "If only we could have the opportunity to be in Nanxun's play, otherwise, if we rely on ourselves, when will we be able to make a breakthrough?"

Li Gengyun nodded in agreement, then said dejectedly: "There's no chance. You see, in A River of Sadness, Nanxun is still using some new actors, but in Glory, they use well-known artists like Dilireba and Hu Ge. It's too difficult for us newcomers!"

Zhou Ye nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it's too difficult!"

But there was a different color in her eyes, because she seemed to have more chances than them!

Wang Ziqi suddenly whispered, "I heard that Mr. Huang and Mr. Nanxun have a good relationship. Do you think we can find a solution from him?"

Li Gengyun's eyes lit up at first, then quickly dimmed: "We are not familiar with Teacher Huang either."

"Yup!"

Wang Ziqi also reacted, his face full of disappointment.

Zhou Ye was laughing happily at the side, as if he didn't care about anything.

Li Gengyun couldn't help but complain: "Aren't you usually very motivated, Ye Zi? Why do you seem to be so uninterested today?"

Zhou Ye shook his head like a broken wave drum: "No, I am listening to what you say, it is very right."

"I……"

Li Gengyun and Wang Ziqi looked at each other and both felt that Zhou Ye was too abnormal today.

Around 10:30 in the evening, Lin Li, who had completely collapsed, was carried by Chen Chao and Li Xiang, and moved crookedly with the flow of people towards the bar.

He couldn't remember how many bottles of beer he had drunk, fifteen, or twenty? Anyway, it was a lot!

In fact, Chen Chao and the others were in the same condition, but they were just slightly better than Lin Li and could still stand.

There weren't many people eating at this time, and with a group of people surrounding him, he didn't wear a mask as he was already feeling uncomfortable after drinking too much.

While waiting for his classmates to pay the bill at the bar, Lin Li's eyelids began to twitch. He felt that if he were given a bed right now, he would fall asleep immediately.

At this moment, he smelled a scent of perfume mixed with alcohol. He raised his eyes with great effort and saw Xu Wanqing walking towards him with a pair of bare long legs.

"You're all drunk. Let me help Lin Li. It's not safe for you to do this."

Xu Wanqing's face was full of concern, as if she was afraid that something might happen to the three of them.

She also drank some wine in the evening, but everyone's main focus was on Lin Li, so she didn't drink much. Besides, beer is not intoxicating, and the alcohol had almost evaporated long ago.

The other students also spoke up when they heard this, and a few female students who had not drunk much walked up and pushed Li Xiang and Chen Chao apart.

It can be seen that Xu Wanqing had made arrangements in advance and only kept Lin Li.

Xu Wanqing was about to go over and help Lin Li, but he blocked her with his hand.

Although his body couldn't keep up, his mind was still relatively clear. He knew that Xu Wanqing had ulterior motives, and he was too lazy to bother with this self-righteous rich girl.

He raised his eyes with great effort and looked around, and suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking out in the distance following the crowd.

There is a way!

He grinned at Xu Wanqing in front of him: "You've had a few drinks, so I won't bother you. I see a friend, just ask her to take me home."

"friend?"

Xu Wanqing looked around with a confused look on her face, but didn't see anyone else.
Lin Li perked up, walked past her, and went straight to the girl who was moving towards him, and greeted her in a familiar manner.

"Yezi, you are here too, what a coincidence. I just happened to be a little drunk today, can you give me a ride?"

The girl who was chatting with someone next to her looked up when she heard the voice. When she saw who was coming, her eyes widened instantly and she looked confused.

"what!?"

"But, is it okay?!"
