Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

—Lu Yan was the first to return to the dormitory.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the dormitory, he quickly went online, opened Tianya Community, and threw himself into his hard work.

Today's victim is Zhao Wei, one of the four most popular young actresses at the moment. In recent years, she has been a rising star, whether she is a middle-aged veteran or a young player.

Everyone knows "My Fair Princess". When this TV series was first broadcast, it immediately topped the charts on most local mainstream TV stations.

With its 24/7 broadcast, it can be considered one of the earliest phenomenal hits, and Zhao Wei rose to fame overnight with this drama.

She became a household name across the country, and with her role as "Little Swallow," her popularity and recognizability are unmatched. She is undoubtedly the most popular actress of this era.

The concept of the "Four Little Flowers" also came about at this time.

Zhao Wei can be said to be the most popular and well-known among the original four actresses. Even Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, and Xu Jinglei, who were on par with him, could not match his popularity.

It was because of this step that Princess Pearl was born.

Lu Yan hadn't originally planned to make a move on Si Dan so soon, but now the situation is urgent, so he has no choice but to use her for the time being.

If it were someone else criticizing someone else, he might feel a little guilty, but with Zhao Wei, there's no need for that. Anyway, she's not exactly a saint either; her nationalistic stance is an absolute moral bottom line, and she can't tolerate even the slightest thing about her.

Smear her, smear her relentlessly!

From top to bottom, from left to right, from acting skills to acting ability, Lu Yan's main strength lies in being a well-rounded and flawless performer.

[Worst acting skills, worst character... Do Zhao Wei's fans even have brains? Let's hear from the expert for an in-depth analysis...]

If you criticize celebrities, they might call you an idiot. But if you also criticize their fans, they will definitely retaliate.

Anyway, since the subject was Zhao Wei, he didn't feel any psychological burden at all. If he remembered correctly, back in 01, Zhao Wei had participated in an interview under that damned flag.

At this point, they've probably already started to tilt their butts.

Just three minutes after the post was published, Lu Yan's inbox was flooded with private messages, and the post's views instantly exceeded a thousand.

"Holy crap... no wonder he's the first generation of the Four Beauties!"

[Emotional Points +23]

[Emotional points +12.....]

The announcements in his ears were like the most beautiful music, making Lu Yan feel refreshed.

He closed Tianya Forum, opened a Word document, and began writing a post...

That evening, Lu Yan received a reply from Yu Nan, who said that he could be taken to audition in a week. In the meantime, he would read the script and prepare well.

Lu Yan wasn't idle either; aside from going to and from get out of class, he spent every day in a corner on the third floor of the school library.

Before the drama was finished filming, he didn't want to attract too much attention, including from his roommates.

For the next week, Lu Yan stayed at the library. Zhu Yawen approached him several times to invite him to a get-together, but Lu Yan politely declined each time.

During this period, he only did two things: posting online and reading scripts in the library. He was only in his dormitory at night when he was sleeping.

He's always elusive, and no one in the class knows where he is.

  

This continued for several days until the evening before the audition.

The librarian on duty had something to do and told Lu Yan to close the door, so Lu Yan didn't leave at eight o'clock as usual today.

Instead, he stayed in the library until 10 o'clock. Just as he was about to pack up and go home, he heard what sounded like an argument outside the door.

"Who's arguing here so late at night?"

He peeked out and saw a girl in the hallway holding a cell phone, talking to herself in an extremely impatient voice.

"Liu Yifei? How come I run into her everywhere?"

Lu Yan had a feeling that since his rebirth, his life trajectory had shown a very obvious trend compared to his previous life.

He didn't know how to describe this vague feeling. It was like the luck described in novels. It was as if a giant hand was controlling everything he came into contact with, whether it was people or things.

Just like now.

Liu Yifei hung up the phone and prepared to leave, but after a brief internal struggle, Lu Yan called her back.

"Feed..."

One minute later

Lu Yan pulled down the library shutter, and Liu Yifei waited quietly to the side. If you looked closely, you could see that her eyes were a little red, as if she had just been crying.

Neither of them spoke as they walked through the middle of the park. It was a quiet path back to their dormitory.

Aren't you going to ask me what's wrong?

Liu Yifei glanced at Lu Yan, who was staring straight ahead. Lu Yan remained silent for a moment.

"If you've had an argument with your parents, then I can't help you, and don't ask me for my opinion."

Liu Yifei's expression was a mixture of surprise and anger: "How did you know I had a fight with my family? You eavesdropped on my phone call!"

Lu Yan rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I'm not as free as you think."

Liu Yifei comes from a divorced family and has relied on her mother since childhood. Her mother wanted to mold her into an international star, so it's easy to imagine that their relationship was inevitably marked by a certain degree of control.

These are all very common family conflicts. It's not hard to guess that he stopped Liu Yifei out of kindness, because Liu Yifei probably doesn't have any friends at school with whom she can talk about these things.

She might need someone to listen to her, that's all.

"sorry"

Liu Yifei lowered her head, realizing she had gone a bit too far. After walking another ten meters, her voice trembled as she asked, "Lu Yan, what are your family members like?"

"Me? I come from an ordinary family, and it's quite difficult, so I used to often go out to work."

"I know, I've heard Luo Jin and the others mention it." After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yifei couldn't resist the urge to tell them.

"Recently, someone approached my mother with a script. I really like the role, but my mother said that such a small production would lower my resume and wouldn't let me take it."

After hearing this, Lu Yan sighed inwardly, "Indeed, it doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor, respectable or suffering from life's hardships."

There will always be things you can't decide, but this is Liu Yifei's family matter, and he has no right to comment.

"Lu Yan, do you think I should try to talk to my mother again?"

"should."

"But my mom is very good to me, and I don't want to make her sad or argue with her."

"Then let's not try."

"But I really want to play this role."

Lu Yan: "..."

"Then let's try our best."

Liu Yifei was furious, glaring at Lu Yan: "Are you even listening to me?"

Lu Yan didn't turn around, but sighed softly. Instead of answering the question, he told his story: "When I filled out my college application, I chose acting, and my family was against it."

They believed that ordinary families like ours weren't suited for this path; they wanted me to secure a stable government job after university and follow the civil service route.

"But I didn't listen, and I still came to Beijing Film Academy. Look at me now, I'm doing just fine. If you insist on asking for my opinion, I can only say that you're not a child, and you can have your own ideas."

As long as you can take responsibility for your choices, that's fine.

Liu Yifei froze, muttering to herself, "Take responsibility."

She seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.

"Thank you."

Lu Yan hummed in agreement, and the two fell silent again. As they approached the dormitory building, Liu Yifei seemed to remember something and asked, "How's your new movie going? Are you preparing well?"

"It's alright, we're preparing for the battle... Hmm?" Lu Yan's words were cut short as he suddenly turned his head. Liu Yifei covered her mouth and looked at him with a smile.

How did you know?

Liu Yifei turned her head away haughtily and snorted, "Is it that hard to guess? I saw you holding some documents when I sat next to you that day. Zhu Yawen and the others said you never go back to the dorm and are always at the library. I knew right away that you were memorizing the script, right?"

"You...are amazing!"

Lu Yan was somewhat speechless. As they spoke, the two had already walked to...

The convenience store downstairs in the dormitory was having a special offer of candied hawthorn berries today. Lu Yan looked at Liu Yifei with a serious expression: "Liu, I heard you really like candied hawthorn berries."

"Oh, I don't like it?"

"No...you like it!"

A minute later, Lu Yan walked out of the convenience store with a satisfied expression, while Liu Yifei beside him had a gloomy face and empty hands.

"Don't look at me like that, there's only one skewer left. Besides, didn't you say you don't like it?"

Seeing Lu Yan's smug expression, Liu Yifei snatched the candied hawthorn berries, completely disregarding her ladylike image, and tore off three berries in one bite, her cheeks puffing out like a hamster, which was quite adorable.

"No... I like it now!"

"My candied hawthorn berries!!!"

Liu Yifei laughed loudly and strode towards the girls' dormitory.

-

The next day, Lu Yan got up very early and, to be respectful of the occasion, he specially wore the suit he had bought at the Huairou shopping mall some time ago.

His hair started to grow out, no longer the short student haircut he used before. He used Zhu Yawen's small hair clip to give it a neat top, and after tidying it up, he went to ask Lao Wang for leave in advance.

"Taking leave again."

In the office, Wang Jinsong frowned deeply, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

Young people are indeed young; once they achieve a little success, they lose their composure. He had seen many promising young people gradually decline in this way.

Wang Jinsong decided to give Lu Yan a good talking-to:

"Xiao Lu, haven't you been taking too many holidays lately? You're still a student, and we should focus more on your studies and get back into the swing of things."

Lu Yan: "..."

"Hey, Lao Wang, I really have important business to attend to this time, so please let me go."

"You can't do anything productive. What could be more important than your studies? If you don't study, who's going to hire you for acting roles?"

"Um... well... teacher, I just had an appointment with the director to audition this time."

Wang Jinsong: "???"
