As Zhao Bin read through the script, a hush fell over the entire group.
Everyone was waiting for him to finish.
At first.
Zhao Bin still wore a smile on his face, but as he read deeper into the content.
He gradually realized that something was wrong.
Zhao Bin: "Just to clarify, the role of Xia Luo is being played by Yuzi, right?"
The group nodded.
Zhao Bin forced a stiff smile: "Understood. Understood."
He read a little longer.
Zhao Bin: "Let me ask everyone one more thing. The first scene written in here... that's the first scene we're shooting today, correct?"
The group nodded again.
Zhao Bin could no longer maintain his smile: "Understood. Understood."
Wu Chuntian, watching from the side, was actually quite pleased.
Surely, after seeing this, Zhao Bin would stop pestering her, wouldn't he?
The fact that she was willing to act out scenes like this...
Couldn't he tell who her heart truly favored?
When university students filmed assignments involving intimate scenes, it was perfectly normal to cast "real couples" or people in "situationships" to play opposite each other.
The smile on Zhao Bin's face flickered on and off, appearing and disappearing.
He tried his best to manage his expression, but he couldn't hold back the surge of emotions bubbling up inside him.
All the things Zhao Bin couldn't figure out before seemed to find their answers within the script.
What was this?
Was he being cucked?
Did they have to drag him into this just to humiliate him right to his face for kicks?
He was just a spectator in the drama between the Student Council President and the Class Monitor.
All he had done was run his mouth a little and joined the Monitor in badmouthing Lin Yu a couple of times.
Did it really warrant going to such extremes?
What crime had he committed to deserve this?!
If he had known he would be forced to watch Lin Yu and Wu Chuntian acting out intimate scenes...
There was no way he would have bailed on his three dorm brothers.
Every group was filming their assignments this week.
According to his dorm's original schedule, they were supposed to start today or tomorrow.
However.
After receiving Lin Yu's message.
Zhao Bin had unilaterally put his own group's filming plans on hold, using "family matters" as an excuse.
And this was the result he got in return.
Ask yourself.
Who could remain rational and calm in this situation?
"Zhao Bin, you're pretty much done reading, right?"
"You don't need to read it in that much detail, just focus on your part."
"Make sure you act well. This is my first time being the female lead in a group project."
"If you mess this up, you're going to pay for it!"
Wu Chuntian snatched the script back, speaking to Zhao Bin in an irritated tone.
Zhao Bin: "..."
Who could remain rational?
He could.
Even though he was furious at Lin Yu's behavior, he couldn't vent it now.
If he actually exploded...
And caused today's shoot to fail.
Then...
How would Chuntian look at him in the future?
Wouldn't he completely lose his chance?
Zhao Bin absolutely would not let that happen!
"Haha, you're right, I've pretty much seen my scenes."
"Don't worry, Chuntian, I'll definitely work hard to play my role well."
"You guys go ahead and eat. I just remembered I have a package I haven't picked up."
"I'm going to the security office to look for my package."
Zhao Bin made up an excuse, planning to step out to cool off and adjust his mood before returning.
If he stayed there any longer, he wouldn't be able to hide the look on his face!
As luck would have it.
Lin Yu stood up even faster than Zhao Bin and chimed in:
"Old Zhao, great minds think alike."
"I also have a package delivered to the school. Let's go, I'll go with you to pick it up."
"I'll also take these two things over and ask the security guard to hold onto them for me."
Zhao Bin's eyes went wide: "???"
Did this prick Lin Yu actually have a package, or was he saying that on purpose?
Could the timing really be this coincidental?
But this was actually good.
It was time for a man-to-man talk!
He needed to go out and ask him properly if he even counted as a man!
Even if Zhao Bin had offended him, Lin Yu shouldn't have dragged Chuntian into it, right?
With that thought.
Zhao Bin stood up and said briskly:
"Sure, let's go get them together."
"It's good to have company on the way, we can chat a bit."
"Regarding the filming location..."
"I still have some details I'm not clear on, so I can ask you about them."
Chi Qingshui: "!!!"
Chi Qingchi: "???"
Zhao Bin's loaded words made the Chi sisters exchange a look.
Others might not know about the private grudge between them.
But the Chi sisters knew it all too well!
Especially the older Chi, who had just realized that Zhao Bin hadn't read the script and didn't know about the simulated intimacy between Lin Yu and Wu Chuntian.
Now that he knew, and was saying things like that...
Was he flying into a rage out of humiliation and looking to start a fight with Lin Yu?
What if...
Lin Yu accidentally beat him so bad he ended up in the hospital?
Everyone in the apartment complex knew that Lin Yu had practiced martial arts in the countryside since childhood.
He had single-handedly taken on Xia Xiashan's entire dojo.
How could a mere Zhao Bin possibly stand a chance against Lin Yu?
Watching the two of them walk out together, Chi Qingshui badly wanted to speak up and stop them.
But Lu Rou and Wu Chuntian were right there.
If she suddenly blurted out something to stop them now, it would seem incredibly strange!
After all.
Neither of them had said anything suspicious; they were just going to pick up packages.
Why would she stop them?
Helpless.
Chi Qingshui could only watch as Lin Yu and Zhao Bin walked out.
Immediately after.
She pulled out her phone and started typing a WeChat message to Lin Yu:
[Chi Qingshui: Lin Yu, please don't cause any trouble. Filming the assignment is the priority.]
Just as she was about to hit send, Chi Qingshui hesitated.
Such a casual sentence didn't seem to carry enough weight?
And the way it sounded.
It felt more like she was reprimanding Lin Yu.
From start to finish, Lin Yu hadn't said he was going to cause trouble.
How could she make assumptions and pin the blame on him beforehand?
That wasn't fair, not fair at all!
Chi Qingshui quickly deleted the message and glanced at "Little Chi" beside her.
Her sister had indeed been shocked when the two men left.
But the moment they were gone, Little Chi's attention had returned to her bowl.
Her second bowl of noodles!
Even though they had already finished eating.
Little Chi was now joining Lu Rou and Wu Chuntian for a second round.
What an appetite!
She wasn't affected by the atmosphere in the slightest.
That was probably for the best.
At least Little Chi wouldn't have the spare time to pay attention to her older sister.
Chi Qingshui tried to maintain her composure as she spoke to Lu Rou and Wu Chuntian:
"We have a lot of extras today. Some are Student Council members, and others are from Little Chi's club."
"Since we are one group, we must take good care of the classmates who came to help."
"We need to maintain order on set. We don't want people thinking that students from the Broadcasting and Editing class are lazy or sloppy when filming assignments."
"..."
As Chi Qingshui spoke, Lu Rou and Wu Chuntian nodded repeatedly.
When it came to taking charge of the big picture, Chi Qingshui was absolutely qualified.
Little did they know, however.
That while Chi Qingshui was saying all this, her hands were not idle.
She swiftly switched to her secondary WeChat account.
And began typing a new message to Lin Yu:
[Dreaming of Rain: Hubby, come back soon after you get the package. I'm waiting for you.]
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er.

Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
