Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 195 Coconut: I came to Chongqing to be a sister-in-law and ended up with half of Shakespeare's name!

Autumn comes later in Chongqing than in Yanjing.

The cool breeze of October blows from the Jialing River, carrying the dampness of the river water and a strange smell—it smells a bit like hot pot.

Zhang Jingyi sat in the car that Wang Junkai had called.

Wang Junkai's hands were constantly moving, texting someone, with a smug expression on his face and an irrepressible urge to show off.

Zhang Jingyi respected Wang Junkai's privacy and originally didn't want to look at it, but she casually glanced down and saw Wang Junkai's WeChat interface.

"That son of a bitch Wang Junkai, I heard you've managed to curry favor with the princess? This morning, the two of you left the school gate together, and the news has even reached our Central Academy of Drama."

Yi Yangqianxi was just admitted to the Central Academy of Drama this year.

He has just finished military training and is still getting used to campus life.

Wang Junkai is one year older than Yi Yangqianxi, and their careers were originally developing at a similar pace. However, Wang Junkai suddenly turned down [his job/opportunity].

After finishing "Bureau 749", he went to collaborate with Lu Yunzhou on "A Novelist".

This movie has two worlds and two male protagonists.

One of the male protagonists is a loser in the real world who is single-mindedly searching for his lost daughter.

The other male protagonist is a chosen hero in a magical world, destined to save the world.

Wang Junkai has been given the script of being the chosen hero in this magical world!

This made Yi Yangqianxi extremely envious.

During his summer vacation, he had just finished filming "Better Days" with Zhou Ye. To be honest, Yi Yangqianxi doesn't dislike this kind of youth-angst film.

After all, he's the perfect age to make youth-themed angst movies.

But the director has a problem with his aesthetic sense—the director actually arranged for the female character played by Zhou Dongyu to become a ray of light in the movie, the soft spot in his heart that he tried so hard to protect.

Impressed!

With Zhou Dongyu's looks, even if she gets beaten up every day at school, I, Yi Yangqianxi, would never turn my eyes away from her and give her a second glance.

In addition, Yi Yangqianxi also felt a little uneasy about the character Zhou Chi.

She's beautiful, from a wealthy family, and has excellent grades—a typical "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman. Why is she inexplicably bullying others?

Do you think your life is too comfortable?

In Yi Yangqianxi's limited life, the rich and beautiful women he encounters may have eccentric personalities, and some may even have the temper of a spoiled princess.

However, it seems that there aren't many people who take the lead in bullying others?

This kind of pampered young lady has been too well protected by her family. She has never suffered much hardship from childhood to adulthood, and she doesn't even have many bad intentions.

At most, she's just jealous, likes to argue with people, and is as delicate as a little white flower.

Zhou Ye herself is a typical example of this.

However, Zhou Ye's acting was superb—she portrayed a character whose personality was completely different from her own to a masterful degree.

Even now, when Yi Yangqianxi thinks of Zhou Ye's cold face, he can't help but shudder.

I heard that Zhou Ye is also going to act in "A Writer's Odyssey".

Wang Junkai is in luck.

"You son of a bitch, Yi Yangqianxi, you just wait, I'll fuck your ass! If 'Better Days' had even half the box office of mine, I'd kneel down and call you 'sir'."

"Conversely, if you lose, call me Master Kai."

"So? Want to bet?"

Wang Junkai, holding the trump card, wanted to crush Yi Yangqianxi.

If "A Writer's Odyssey" were produced by another company, Yi Yangqianxi might have been willing to take a gamble.

But Lu Yunzhou will serve as the producer.

Moreover, Lu Yunzhou is very likely to star in this movie.

This movie is guaranteed to gross at least 20 billion yuan at the domestic box office, right?

It's hard to say about overseas.

Because this is not a movie directed by Lu Yunzhou himself, nor does it contain any popular foreign elements; it is simply a domestic fantasy visual blockbuster.

But what if other countries want to see movies starring Lu Yunzhou?

Thinking of this, Yi Yangqianxi felt a pang of jealousy and typed stiffly, "I won't gamble. Gambling is illegal. Do you think I'm that idiot Wang Yuan?"

Wang Yuan, who had been lying low for a long time, finally couldn't hold back anymore: "You two bastards, what did I do to you? I just came out to smoke a bottle of Furongwang cigarettes, and you're already gossiping behind my back? That's enough."

Wang Junkai laughed and pressed, "You son of a bitch, Wang Yuan, I heard you're acting in 'The Great Ruler,' and the female lead is Taiwanese. Are Taiwanese girls especially gentle and cute? Did you fall for it?"

Upon hearing someone mention the female lead of the drama, Wang Yuan reacted as if stressed, his face full of impatience: "You talk too much."

Ouyang Na is a lunatic; you'll see when you meet him.

You dare to laugh at me?

I refuse to believe that every female protagonist you encounter is a normal person.

These boys are so boring.

Zhang Jingyi withdrew her gaze and turned to examine the street scenes of Chongqing.

The car had already entered the old town; everywhere around were mottled walls, clearly indicating extremely high humidity, with the paint peeling off the walls.

In the distance stands a rather old school building, surrounded by an old-fashioned iron fence covered with various plants.

quilt.

This reminded Zhang Jing of the dilapidated school behind her house.

Behind the old teaching buildings are mostly even older dormitory buildings—her mother didn't want her to live such a hard life, so she worked hard to earn money and send her out of Shaoyang.

At this moment, Zhang Jingyi could almost imagine with her eyes closed what the dormitory building at the school ahead would look like.

"1212~"

As the car drove past the school, the sound of students running could be heard on the playground. The sun was shining brightly, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers seemed to never tire.

This reminded Zhang Jingyi of the script she had accepted.

"From a wealthy family, and excelling in both character and academics—is this Li Anran's character setting in 'The Sky of Wind and Dogs'?"

"Would a girl from a wealthy family who is academically excellent really like a boy who has nothing and is plain-looking?"

Zhang Jingyi pondered for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

The male lead for "The Sky of Wind and Dogs" has been cast as Peng Yuchang.

Zhang Jingyi knew the other party.

Peng Yuchang acted in "Go Princess Go", in which he played a eunuch.

In addition, his starring role in the art film "An Elephant Sitting Still" last year helped him win the Best New Actor award and even earned him a nomination for Best Actor at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

His acting skills seem pretty good.

However, he also has his own flaws.

He looks so pathetic, he'd be perfect for the "young loser" category.

and many more!

At that moment, Zhang Jingyi suddenly remembered something.

Although "An Elephant Sitting Still" won many awards, the director committed suicide before he became famous—isn't that the same as killing the director himself?

"Fortunately, my older brother didn't cast him as the male lead."

"Otherwise, I'll beat Peng Yuchang to death—to eliminate this future trouble as soon as possible, so that my elder brother won't be affected by his bad luck."

"Aaaaaah!"

"Brother, you're so handsome!"

"Emperor of Congee, Emperor of Congee, tonight you are my countless stars!"

The driver is taking a detour.

The roads in Chongqing are notoriously winding; those who know, know.

The location shown on the map is right under your feet, but it could actually be more than 20 stories above.

Just as the driver was taking a detour, Zhang Jingyi suddenly heard a deafening roar of cheers coming from outside.

In particular, she heard Lu Yunzhou's nickname and his fans' special slogan, which was a newly updated version.

At that moment, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but peek out.

The car kept turning on the covered bridge. Below, on some level, there seemed to be a basketball court, where a 3-on-3 game was currently underway.

The first half of the game.

Although there were six people on the field, Zhang Jingyi spotted Lu Yunzhou in an instant.

Wearing a bright red jersey, he ran across the field like a flame, leaping into Zhang Jingyi's eyes.

He has a very accurate shot and jumps very high.

With a slight flick of the wrist.

The basketball traced a beautiful arc in his hands and swished into the basket.

After shooting the ball, he smiled and extended his right hand, making a fist.

The girls around were screaming.

These girls are quite young, all wearing school uniforms, and are probably students from a nearby school.

But Zhang Jingyi remembered that today was Monday.

Why don't these people study properly at school?

Why would someone go out to chase after a celebrity?

It's such an eyesore.

"Beep beep beep"

As if hearing Zhang Jingyi's thoughts, the dean of students at the nearby school's administration office started blowing his whistle frantically.

In an instant, all the girls screamed and scattered like birds.

However, on the way back, the girls were extremely excited and chattered excitedly.

"I saw a lot of people loitering around our school when I passed by this morning. I thought I was seeing things."

"Just now, someone from the next class called me, and that's when I realized that the person I saw this morning was Lu Yunzhou!"

"Seriously, he's so handsome in person. Especially his physique, it's absolutely amazing!"

"I thought he was like other young heartthrobs, skinny and weak—who knew, when he took off his clothes, he even had abs!"

"By the way, did you guys see his right shoulder?"

"After he shot the ball, he tugged at his sleeve, and I saw that he had a strange scar on his shoulder blade."

Is this what the bullet left behind?

"He's really fierce! He even dared to take a bullet for someone! If he were willing to take a bullet for me, how wonderful would that be? I'd probably faint from happiness."

The car blocked out 99% of the girls' chatter.

However, some scattered discussions still reached Zhang Jingyi's ears.

It made her momentarily dazed.

Because, after she first saw the gunshot wound on Lu Yunzhou's back, she held him tightly with heartache and refused to let go for a long time.

She imagined how painful it would be to be shot.

She had also seriously asked Lu Yunzhou what it felt like to be shot.

Lu Yunzhou simply said casually that he didn't remember. Perhaps it was because his brain protected this traumatic memory.

Zhang Jingyi, however, felt that Lu Yunzhou was definitely lying at that moment.

He just didn't want to be jealous.

Actually, why would I be jealous?

I'm too heartbroken to even think about it.

"Brother, do you know that we are from completely different worlds? The end point of my all-out effort is not even as good as the starting point of your life."

This line seems to be from the anime/manga series *The Sky of Wind and Dogs*. Is it something the male lead, Lao Gou, says to Li Anran?

Zhang Jingyi's memory is somewhat hazy.

Recently, she's been reading the script for this drama because it's her first time acting in a TV series, and she's starting as the female lead.

protagonist.

She was under a lot of pressure.

To play this role well, Zhang Jingyi forced herself to gradually become Li Anran.

Li Anran's personality is indeed somewhat similar to her own.

What should we do?

She was nowhere near as open-minded as Li Anran—after having dated the world's most handsome man, how could she possibly lay a hand on an ordinary person?

"Brother Chuan, our leading man has arrived."

The driver stopped the car, and Wang Junkai hurriedly got out to pay his respects to Director Lao Dong. Then, under Lao Dong's guidance, he went to pay his respects to Lu Yunzhou.

"Hello, Xiao Kai, I've heard so much about you."

Lu Yunzhou's "I've long admired your name" was half-joking, which made Wang Junkai blush instantly.

He knew that Lu Yunzhou must have heard his name from Zhang Jingyi.

At this moment, Wang Junkai really wanted to live off Zhang Jingyi and wished he could join her and call Lu Yunzhou "Big Brother".

However, he hadn't quite figured out Lu Yunzhou's temperament, so he didn't dare to call him "Big Brother" at the moment. He could only scratch his head and smile awkwardly, saying, "Please excuse me, Director Lu."

Lu Yunzhou patted Wang Junkai on the shoulder and handed him the basketball.

Wang Junkai dribbled the ball a few times, then casually tossed it. The ball bounced around the rim but didn't go in.

An assistant immediately went over and retrieved the ball.

While drinking water, Lu Yunzhou casually said, "Xiao Kai, the house has been rented for you. The art team and props team have already helped you with the setup."

"You take your own laptop and, for the next month, serialize your novel online. Every time you're typing, you livestream it. Don't show your face. Just livestream your screen."

"From now on, imagine yourself as the male protagonist, Kong Wen."

"Even if no one appreciates your writing, you should still continue serializing it for a month. Write 2000 words every day. That shouldn't be too much to ask."

"As for what to write, that's up to you. It's best if it's related to the movie's plot. You could try writing a fantasy adventure story from a first-person perspective."

As soon as Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, the answer automatically popped into Wang Junkai's mind.

The male protagonist's name is Lu Kongwen.

His father was played by Lu Yunzhou?

So, should the novel I wrote be called "My Father is Lu Yunzhou"?

Depend on!

Thinking of this, Wang Junkai's lips twitched, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Are you looking forward to it?

Lu Yunzhou sensed the eagerness on Wang Junkai's face and chuckled softly, "Since you're so excited, let's start today. It'll be a month-long experience. Experience the life of the protagonist, Kong Wen, as an online novelist."

"Okay, Director Lu."

Now that things have come to this, Wang Junkai has no choice but to object.

Anyway, he grew up in Chongqing.

Right now, I'm just living in a rented apartment for a month—I'll just enjoy the life of an ordinary person for once?

Hopefully, the neighbors don't recognize him.

Otherwise, a neighbor might blurt out, "Isn't that so-and-so from the 'Poop-Scooping Boys'?"

He'd be so embarrassed.

After sending Wang Junkai away, Lu Yunzhou smiled and winked at Zhang Jingyi before heading to the other side.

Zhang Jingyi instantly understood and walked very fast, as if she were riding on wheels of fire, silently squeezing into Lu Yunzhou's group.

And so, step by step, she slowly squeezed her way to Lu Yunzhou's side.

Lu Yunzhou casually hooked his arm around Zhang Jingyi's shoulder, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked casually, "Does 'The Sky of Wind and Dogs' also require you to experience life?"

"no."

Zhang Jingyi raised her head openly, glanced at Lu Yunzhou, shook her head, and explained, "This drama will only start filming at the end of December."

She had an unspoken subtext.

Actually, she came here to see Lu Yunzhou.

However, Zhang Jingyi believed that Lu Yunzhou's reading comprehension was perfect.

Therefore, there's no need to say any of this. Lu Yunzhou will understand.

"Do you have a place to stay?"

Lu Yunzhou continued to ask questions he already knew the answer to.

It was mainly for the other people in the crew to hear.

Zhang Jingyi shook her head, pursed her lips, and said, "I plan to find a cheap hotel, stay for a while, experience Chongqing life, and then go back to school."

Lu Yunzhou glanced at Zhang Jingyi: "I'm worried about you being alone."

He knew perfectly well that Zhang Jingyi couldn't possibly live alone.

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou turned to the production manager of the film crew and asked, "Does the hotel we booked have any extra rooms? Find someone to get a standard room for Jingjing."

"Understood, Brother Chuan."

The production team quickly accepted the offer and immediately called the hotel, where they soon booked a room for Zhang Jingyi.

"Nothing much to do this afternoon, you can all take the day off."

Lu Yunzhou waved his hand, then turned to look at Director Dong: "How's it going? You've got a good idea of ​​what's going on these past two days, right?"

Old Dong nodded, but was still somewhat uneasy: "Brother Chuan, I have an idea of ​​how to film it. But..."

Special effects? I don't understand them. Combining special effects with action scenes? I understand them even less.

"It's okay, I'll do it for you."

Lu Yunzhou patted Lao Dong on the shoulder: "Go ahead and film with confidence. I'll keep an eye on things on set for you, who would dare cause trouble? However, I can only stay for a month at most. By the end of January, I have to go to Italy no matter what."

By the end of January, Zhang Ruonan was almost due to give birth.

For Lu Yunzhou, this was more important than anything else.

"Thank you, Brother Boat!"

Upon hearing this, Old Dong was extremely grateful.

He suddenly remembered something: "Brother Chuan, the other male lead, Lei Jiayin, will be here in a couple of days. He's attending the Tokyo Film Festival these days."

Lu Yunzhou waved his hand dismissively and said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. He's a veteran actor; he won't let us down."

Veteran actors won't let you down, but they also won't offer many surprises.

Moreover, Lei Jiayin doesn't carry the box office.

If this movie wants to carry the box office, it still needs a young and handsome actor like Wang Junkai.

Currently, Wang Junkai is the most successful of the three members of TFBOYS.

After all, Wang Junkai is the most handsome.

However, Yi Yangqianxi's film "Better Days" will be released next year, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will gross over a billion yuan, overshadowing Wang Junkai's popularity.

Fans following celebrities are a bit like Lu Yunzhou watching sports games. If the team loses every day, he won't enjoy watching.

If it comes to idol worship, if Wang Junkai can keep winning, he'll definitely keep Yi Yangqianxi from ever getting ahead.

"Brother, I'll talk to Lei Datou and tell him not to rush things. He can go do whatever he needs to do. We'll let him join the crew when we officially start filming."

Old Dong emphasized it again.

The main issue is that Lei Jiayin doesn't have much of a relationship with Lu Yunzhou.

Therefore, Lei Jiayin really wanted to come to Chongqing to get to know Lu Yunzhou in advance, whether it was to treat him to a meal or have a few drinks with him, in order to build up their friendship first.

Only then could he feel confident.

"Tell him not to rush. Just familiarize himself with the script. Mr. Qiao, I've already put in a good word for him." Lu Yunzhou waved his hand; he knew what Lei Jiayin was thinking.

Lei Jiayin is also a graduate of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and is a middle-aged actor in the Shanghai entertainment circle.

Although he wasn't good at networking, he was low-key, had good performance records, and always had a smile on his face, appearing honest and reliable.

Several bosses felt that he was their "long-term worker" and were willing to give him a chance.

Otherwise, how could Lei Jiayin have won the Best Actor award at the Tokyo International Film Festival for "How Long Will I Love U"?

In China, awards are often judged based on connections, and the same is true abroad. Without the backing of Shanghai's financial circles, how would the judges at the Tokyo Film Festival even know who he was?

This time, when Lei Jiayin was cast in "A Writer's Odyssey," someone approached Lu Yunzhou and recommended Lei Jiayin as soon as the project was finalized.

At first, Lu Yunzhou ignored him.

However, after looking around, they still couldn't find a particularly suitable person.

Lei Jiayin is indeed the most suitable, he looks like a complete coward.

In the category of "good-for-nothings," Lei Jiayin is an emperor-level existence.

Within the broader category of "good-for-nothing," if a character needs a touch of innocence and a lingering conscience, Lei Jiayin is the only choice.

Lei Jiayin also knew where his talent lay. In the "good-for-nothing" category, there weren't many people who could compete with him.

He figured that this role would most likely end up falling to him anyway.

However, as the saying goes, it's never wrong to be overly polite—he was just a "long-term worker" for the bosses, while Lu Yunzhou was one of the decision-makers.

He could never be too flattering to Lu Yunzhou.

"Old Dong, I'm on vacation for the next couple of days. If anything comes up, just give me a call. But you'd better not have anything coming up."

Lu Yunzhou personally led Lao Dong through the preliminary preparations.

Teaching an apprentice step by step is no more than this.

If Lao Dong still can't learn and keeps whining, Lu Yunzhou will have to consider whether or not to take him along next time.

"Brother Chuan, you get some rest. I can handle the rest myself. Don't worry about it, leave it to me."

Old Dong glanced at Zhang Jingyi and instantly understood.

Lu Yunzhou has been working for a week and now wants to rest for a few days. Is that okay?

There's definitely no problem.

However, even though Wang Ran came, Lu Yunzhou didn't say he wanted to ask for leave.

This young lady named Zhang Jingyi is something else. She's got our boss completely smitten; we can't afford to offend her anymore.

"This is unbearable. It's raining again."

Wang Junkai felt that he was probably sick.

This rented room is a bit damp and doesn't get any sunlight—in Chongqing, not getting any sunlight is really unbearable.

However, the male protagonist in the movie is portrayed as such a poor guy.

He huddled in his rented room, like a resilient cockroach, typing away in the dim light, immersed in his own world.

He longed to change the world with words.

Wang Junkai felt that if he couldn't feel the abnormal spiritual power of "Kong Wen", he probably wouldn't be able to portray the character well and would only be superficial.

"No!"

"This is a role I finally got by relying on a gigolo!"

"This kind of opportunity only comes once!"

"As expected, in these three days, Jingjing must have been saying bad things about me to Brother Zhou, saying that I was wavering between Senior Zhou Ye and her—I guess in Brother Zhou's mind, I have become a scumbag who deceived his sister's feelings."

"Luckily, the contract has already been signed. Otherwise, I would probably be fired by now."

"Next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the role of Brother Zhou by relying on Jingjing's connections. I can only rely on my own abilities!"

'

"Therefore, I must perform exceptionally well in this role!"

Wang Junkai imagined himself as a talented but unappreciated online writer, determined to create a masterpiece in his rented apartment.

He tried to hypnotize himself, and gradually found a spark of inspiration. So, he started typing away in the live stream.

During this time, quite a few people scrolled past the "Kongwen" account and took a look.

"What kind of garbage is this?"

"Brother, take my advice, this kind of writing is outdated, you probably won't even get a contract."

"What magical continent? What red-haired demon? I'm the Crimson Moon Demon Lord! — Your villainous character is doomed to fail! You might as well come with me to deliver takeout and get on the right path sooner."

"Sigh, are people still writing those rigid, formulaic essays from 20 years ago?"

"Bro, which platform do you write on? — I'll click on it for you and help increase your popularity. But you only write 20 a day..."

00 words? You think you're from Jiangnan?

The comments that occasionally popped up in the live stream were mostly negative.

Wang Junkai glanced at it a few times, and his blood pressure soared.

He really didn't have much talent for writing.

However, he had to bear this pressure and suffer for himself—because the "empty words" in the movie were also a struggling writer whose writings were completely ignored.

However, he continued to write.

Without a bit of madness, how could one dare to embark on the path of literature?

At that moment, he seemed to have found the feeling of "empty words".

"Is my older brother sick?"

"He's been in the room for three days and three nights without leaving. The hotel staff have been delivering his meals to his door."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Big Brother clearly came out yesterday afternoon."

"I came out for some fresh air, but before I could even say two words, I got a phone call and went back. Is that what you call actually being out?"

The staff who came out to scout locations were whispering among themselves, wondering if Lu Yunzhou was sick.

It's normal to experience some discomfort when suddenly arriving in Chongqing.

Some people also asked if Lu Yunzhou had an upset stomach from the hot pot that night, which is why he stayed in his hotel room for three days.

After all, everyone knows that Lu Yunzhou can't handle spicy food very well.

Just as these people were discussing this, a beautiful woman with delicate features, wearing a black dress, and with a flat figure but a lot of poise walked into the hotel.

When Old Dong saw this person, his eyes lit up immediately, and he waved and said, "Hey, Zhou Ye is here? Have you eaten yet?"

Zhou Ye smiled and went over to greet him, "Hello, Director. I'm not late, am I?"

"no."

Old Dong waved his hand, but he was a little puzzled. It was just a minor role with only a few scenes. He didn't trust the verbal agreement and insisted on coming to the set to meet the actor.

These young girls nowadays, they care so much about such a minor role?

This Zhou Ye is someone under Li Bingbing's command, not some nobody who can't get any roles.

She has even filmed "Better Days" with Jackson Yee, and previously starred in an art film, so she is already a veteran actress.

Zhou Ye circled the crowd but didn't see Lu Yunzhou. She asked in a low voice, a hint of expectation on her face, "Director, is Big Brother here?"

Who does she call "big brother"?

The only one qualified to be called "Big Brother" here is Lu Yunzhou.

Good guy!

When did our boss get this little sister?

Upon hearing the words "Big Brother," Old Dong reacted as if struck by lightning. The slightly arrogant expression on his face instantly transformed into a warm, spring-like smile.

He gave Zhou Ye a warm smile and lowered his voice by three octaves: "Brother Chuan is resting in his room. I'll give him a call and tell him you've arrived."

Zhou Ye smiled shyly but openly: "Thank you, Director. Thank you for your help."

"Director, do you smoke?"

"What brand do you smoke? I'll go buy you a pack now. Anyway, thank you."

Zhou Ye is not aloof or arrogant at all, and her smile is more adorable than anyone else's. Moreover, her name is just Zhou Ye; her personality is not wild at all.

She is Lu Yunzhou's favorite coconut.

Although it's not very sweet and has a low sugar content, it has a fresh and natural flavor—how could a drink that Lu Yunzhou likes be bad?

"You're too kind."

Old Dong sensed a hidden ambition deep within Zhou Ye from her attitude.

Zhou Ye wants to be his sister-in-law?

Because this awkward desire to get close to them, yet also a bit like the landlady, putting on a high-handed attitude and taking the initiative to be considerate of them—Old Dong was all too familiar with this.

Tian Xiwei, Wang Ran, aren't they all like this?

Most importantly—Old Dong suddenly realized that Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi looked alike, almost like sisters.

Damn!

I can't think about it anymore—thinking about it any further would be disrespectful to the boss!

Just as Lao Dong took out his phone to send a message to Lu Yunzhou, Lu Yunzhou came downstairs.

After three whole days, he finally managed to come downstairs.

Lu Yunzhou's expression remained unchanged as he stretched, seemingly having just woken up. Zhang Jingyi followed behind him, her face slightly flushed and a faint smile playing on her lips.

She skipped and hopped out, still holding onto the hem of Lu Yunzhou's coat with one of her little hands. She was so adorable.

Lu Yunzhou glanced back at Zhang Jingyi, and the two smiled at each other, even though there was no romantic atmosphere in the real world.

However, Zhou Ye, who witnessed this scene, still heard the sound of her heart breaking.

Before coming here, Zhou Ye thought she might find love in Chongqing.

Lu Yunzhou would talk to her about Shakespeare and Maupassant.

That sounds so romantic.

It is full of artistic and romantic atmosphere.

Especially Maupassant. Cai Xukun once told Zhou Ye that Lu Yunzhou gave him a copy of "Boule de Suif" when he went to South Korea for training.

On the plane to Chongqing, Zhou Ye devoured "Boule de Suif" and quickly studied Shakespeare.

There were so many of Shakespeare's works that she couldn't read them all at once, so she memorized many of Shakespeare's famous quotes first.

It has been proven that memorizing famous quotes is effective.

At that moment, Shakespeare's famous quote instinctively popped into Zhou Ye's mind: "A person who thinks too much loses the joy of being human."

Zhou Chi finally realized that Shakespeare was indeed Shakespeare; a world-class literary giant was truly amazing.

Even though she hadn't read many of Shakespeare's works, at this moment, she still felt a strong resonance with Shakespeare.

However, she probably wouldn't be able to understand the complete Shakespeare.

I'll never understand it in my entire life.

At this moment, she grasped half of what Shakespeare meant, and ruthlessly removed the "Shi" and "Ya" from her name—now, she was the number one idiot in the world!

She naively believed that Zhang Jingyi was really Lu Yunzhou's cousin!

Wang Junkai!

It's all your fault!

You son of a bitch—you ruined my life!

If Wang Junkai hadn't insisted that Zhang Jingyi was Lu Yunzhou's sister, the whole class would have known.

How could she misunderstand?

How could she make such a fool of herself?
