Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

It is obvious that Xiao Ning and Rob don't have the money to go to the Black Horn Region, so they want to come here to earn some extra money.

Xiao Yu really couldn't understand it. These two guys had only known each other for about half a year and had even had a conflict during the enrollment period. How could their relationship be so close now?

Forget it, forget it, let them be. I really don’t want to deal with these two guys today.

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Wu Hao and gave instructions.

"Wu Hao, keep an eye on it. If you encounter any problems, handle them yourself. If you really can't handle them, come to me." After saying that, Xiao Yu looked at Lin Xiuya and Han Yue, "Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I have to go back and rest. There have been too many things to do recently, and I haven't had a good rest."

Xiao Yu waved to the two of them and walked towards the dormitory building while yawning.

Looking at Xiao Yu's gradually receding figure, Han Yue frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Xiuya with her beautiful eyes.

"what do you think?"

"It's uncertain." Lin Xiuya shook his head slightly, with a complex expression in his eyes. "Even if I'm a whole class taller than her, I'm not sure I can beat her."

"Is it."

Han Yue was not surprised by this answer.

Although Xiao Yu stayed in the inner courtyard for less than two or three months last year, he left a very deep impression on them because of his strength that far exceeded his level.

I really don't know how she practiced.

If Xiao Yu had not withdrawn from the inner courtyard last year, Han Yue had no doubt that Xiao Yu would be able to take Lin Xiuya's position on the strength list, and even the number one female Tyrannosaurus might not be her opponent.

On the other side, when Xiao Yu returned to the dormitory, he happened to meet Xiao Mei who was walking out. Seeing the other person's exhausted expression as if she was about to die, Xiao Yu was suddenly startled and almost didn't recognize her at first sight.

"Mei'er? Are you okay?"

"Ah, Sister Xiao Yu." Xiao Mei waved her hands weakly and smiled weakly, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep all night, and I was thinking about the script the whole time."

Although the script has been decided, how to shoot it is also a problem. Xiao Mei planned this for the entire night without sleeping. Her energy is almost drained. Mental work is much more difficult than physical work, not to mention that she has not eaten since yesterday afternoon.

And until now, Xiao Mei still couldn't figure out where the script came from. The only thing she could be sure of was that the script was definitely not written by her.

However, for Xiao Mei, as long as there is a script that matches Han Feng, there is no need to care who wrote it.

"No! We have to shoot tomorrow, we need to be alert!"

Xiao Mei suddenly raised her hand and slapped her cheek hard, causing her face to turn slightly red, and forced herself to cheer up.

"Sister Xiao Yu, I'm leaving first!"

Xiao Mei waved to Xiao Yu and ran towards the college square. Looking at Xiao Mei's departing back, Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and turned back to the dormitory.

After a while, Xiao Mei came to the square. When the assistant saw Xiao Mei, he hurried over to greet her.

"Director Xiao Mei, we have already selected nine candidates for the male lead. It is up to you to decide who will be the final one."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Mei smiled slightly. Outside of filming time, she was quite kind to other people.

Xiao Mei immediately raised her eyebrows slightly, and saw Xiao Ning and Rob, who were among the candidates for the male lead, and pointed at them unhappily.

"Why were those two selected?"

"Uh..." The assistant's expression froze, and he scratched his hair in embarrassment. "The image barely meets the standard, and their acting skills are indeed quite outstanding, so..."

The assistant also knew that Xiao Mei had always been dissatisfied with her cousin Xiao Ning and Rob, but she was just doing things according to Xiao Mei's requirements. After all, Xiao Mei did not specifically instruct them not to let Xiao Ning and Rob participate.

In response to this, Xiao Mei sighed helplessly.

"Ha, forget it, since there's no male lead, let's give them a role. They must have come here because they have no money anyway."

"what?"

Hearing Xiao Mei's words, the assistant was suddenly stunned.

No? Didn't you invite so many people just to choose the male lead? How come there is no male lead again?

Before the assistant could ask, Xiao Mei walked over to the male lead candidates and coughed twice to attract the attention of the nine people.

"Everyone, I am the initiator of this male lead pre-selection and the director of this drama, Xiao Mei."

Director Xiao Mei is quite famous both in the inner and outer courtyards, so there is no need for Xiao Mei to introduce herself. Lin Xiuya and others also recognized her.

"First of all, thank you very much for coming to participate in my male lead pre-selection." Xiao Mei paused, and then said: "Secondly, I personally have something very regretful to inform you. There is no male lead in this drama. I deeply apologize for coming here for the male lead."

After Xiao Mei finished speaking, she bowed her head and apologized sincerely.

Lin Xiuya and the others were stunned at first, but didn't say anything. They just came to give it a try and didn't have to be the leading actor.

Not to mention Xiao Ning and Rob. Not to mention that the two of them don't care whether there is a male lead or not, and other people's opinions may have uncertain consequences. But if they dare to make opinions in front of Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei will definitely point at them and retort, and they may even get a beating.

Among all the people, only Bai Shan showed an unhappy look on his face and stepped forward to question.

"Hey, hey, hey~ We all came here to participate in the preliminary auditions because we heard you were recruiting male protagonists, but now it's the last minute and you're saying there's no male protagonist left?"

"This is my mistake, please forgive me."

Xiao Mei didn't feel unhappy about Bai Shan's aggressive attitude. After all, she was the one who made the mistake first.

If you do something wrong, you have to admit it, and you have no right to talk back even if you are scolded.

Xiao Mei immediately raised her head and said softly.

"Although the male lead is gone, this drama needs a lot of important supporting roles. If you don't mind, I can arrange corresponding roles for you. I will pay you according to the standard of the male lead. What do you think?"

Xiao Yan, who had just arrived at the square with Xun'er, was stunned when he saw Xiao Mei's series of actions.

Is this still his cousin who is domineering and overbearing in the family?

Xun'er couldn't help but smile softly when she saw Xiao Yan's expression.

"Mei Er has changed all her bad habits for the sake of filming."

During the past six months, the person who has changed the most in the Xiao family is probably Xiao Mei.

The old Xiao Mei would never have been able to do such a thing as sincerely apologizing to others and providing proper compensation.

When the qualifiers heard Xiao Mei's words, Han Yue and Lin Xiuya spoke up, each speaking softly.

"As long as I can act, I'll take any role."

"Same as above."

Liu Qing and Lin Yan had no objections either. The former was forced to come by his cousin, and the latter's purpose from the beginning was not to film the movie, as long as he could get in touch with Han Feng to ask about the fire poison.

Xiao Ning and Rob had no problem at all, and they even showed joy on their faces. They originally just wanted to make money, and thought that only one person would be elected. Now both of them were selected, and they would all be paid the same as the leading actor. They nodded happily without hesitation.

What's more, the food chain is here. Even if they really have any opinions, they dare not express them in front of Xiao Mei.

Although Bai Cheng was somewhat unhappy, he did not show it for the sake of his face. At the same time, he tugged at his cousin Bai Shan, signaling him not to make things too awkward.

Director Xiao Mei has personally apologized and is willing to invite them to act with the salary of the male lead. If they continue to pester them, they would be being unreasonable.

"Humph."

Bai Shan snorted lightly and didn't continue to make trouble, which was considered as his agreement.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Seeing that these people had been appeased, Xiao Mei turned to look at her assistant.

"Prepare everything that needs to be prepared today. Don't leave anything out. We will officially start shooting tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Chapter 371 Nalan Yanran is still practicing

"Hey~~~ So those dramas were filmed by your sister." In the academy cafeteria, Xiao Yixian sat opposite Xiao Yan and sighed: "When I was bored these few days, my colleagues in the medical institute found those dramas for me to kill time. They look pretty good."

"That girl has always been following me around since she was in the family. She never had anything she wanted to do. I was worried that she would just follow me around for the rest of her life, but now I am finally relieved."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

Of course, Xiao Yan didn’t feel annoyed or anything because Xiao Mei was always around him, but Xiao Mei’s life should be her own, and she shouldn’t be dependent on anyone, including himself.

Seeing that girl's spirited and dignified figure while filming these past two days, I feel that she has grown into the point where she can stand on her own.

"How come your cousin is like an old father?"

Xiao Yixian was speechless. The tone that Xiao Yan used towards Xiao Mei was exactly the same as the tone that Boss Yao used towards himself at that time.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. The food in this college cafeteria is pretty good. Come and try mine." Little Medical Fairy said, picking up a piece of delicious roast meat with chopsticks and naturally putting it to Xiao Yan's mouth, "Open your mouth, ah~~~"

"Little Medical Fairy, you are here."

Xiao Yan looked a little embarrassed, but Little Medical Fairy didn't care at all.

"What's the matter? We are companions who have been through life and death together. What's wrong with feeding you a meal?"

As she spoke, the Little Medical Fairy stretched the chopsticks towards Xiao Yan's mouth as she pleased, causing Xiao Yan's brows to twitch slightly.

Was Xiao Yixiang the kind of person who would do such a thing in the past?

"Cough cough!"

A light cough suddenly came from the side, interrupting Xiao Yixian's actions. Then, Xun'er, who was sitting next to Xiao Yan, stretched out her hand to block Xiao Yan's mouth, rejecting the chopsticks that Xiao Yixian stretched out, and stared at Xiao Yixian with unfriendly eyes.

"Teacher Xiao Yixian, this is a public place, please respect yourself."

Xun'er was neither humble nor arrogant, and she lectured the Little Medical Fairy with righteous words, while her inner resentment reached its peak.

This woman completely treats herself as if she doesn't exist!

After being stopped by Xun'er, Xiao Yixiang's expression remained normal and she spoke in a calm tone.

"I just want to share food with my friends, is that wrong?"

"Sharing is a virtue, but please know when to share. As a teacher at the academy, being so intimate with your students won't sound good if it gets out, right?"

Xun'er suppressed her anger and insisted on using reason to retort Xiao Yixian, although she didn't think Xiao Yixian would give up.

However, to Xun'er's surprise, the Little Medical Fairy actually retracted her chopsticks, gently pinched her beautiful chin with her jade hand, and pondered.

"Yes, indeed. What you said makes sense."

".ha?"

Seeing that Xiao Yixiang didn't fight back but agreed with her words, Xun'er was stunned for a moment.

Just when Xun'er was confused, the Little Medical Fairy stood up and walked around to the other side of Xiao Yan, and naturally took Xiao Yan's arm and tried to pull him up.

"Let's go, bring the food to my medical room and we'll eat there." The Little Medical Fairy looked past Xiao Yan at Xun'er, narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly, "Xun'er, what you mean is that as long as no one sees it, it's fine, right? Xiao Yan is so lucky to have such a good sister who cares about her brother's image~"

"As Xiao Yan's friend, of course I have to humbly accept Sister Xun'er's advice."

Suggest you a big head ghost! Is this what I just said? ! !

Xun'er stared at Little Medical Fairy. She didn't believe that this woman didn't understand. It was obvious that she was pretending to be confused even though she knew the truth!

Provoked by Little Medical Fairy, Xun'er's eyes became stern. She grabbed Xiao Yan's other arm, refusing to give in, and confronted Little Medical Fairy with a smile on her face.

"Teacher Xiao Yixian, I haven't seen Brother Xiao Yan for so long. I want to chat with him more."

"It's okay. Xiao Yan will stay in the academy for a long time in the future. It doesn't matter if he stays here for a while." Xiao Yixian narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Xiao Yan. "Xiao Yan, what do you think?"

Seeing that Xiao Yixian threw the topic to Xiao Yan, Xun'er didn't think much about it, and followed suit and asked Xiao Yan questions without retreating.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you also want to stay with Xun'er for a while, right?"

Looking at the two of them smiling but with a hint of terror in their faces, Xiao Yan's heart was already pounding and cold sweat was breaking out on his face.

Danger! Danger! Danger! ! !

Although he didn't know why, Xiao Yan had a vague intuition that if he made the wrong choice here, it would likely trigger a bad ending.

(Senior Yao, what should I do?!)

At this moment, Xiao Yan was very panicked and didn't know how to answer, so he could only turn to Yao Chen in the ring for help.

After Yao Chen was silent for a while, he gave his suggestion leisurely and seriously.

(Xiao Yanzi, come on, I will support you mentally.)

After Yao Chen finished speaking, he fell silent and didn't say another word, which made Xiao Yan even more panicked.

No?! Yao Senior???

I need practical help now, not moral support!

At this time, other students in the cafeteria also noticed this. Seeing Xiao Yan being held by Xiao Yixian and Xun'er on his left and right arms, their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
