Gou Feng and Gao Yumin avoided communication, but Shi Yanhai couldn't do the same.
The counselor was watching!
Friendly interaction with classmates was part of his duty as the class monitor.
Shi Yanhai nodded, cooperating as he said:
"Alright, don't worry, the three of us will coordinate well."
"We just need to walk back and forth, right?"
Lin Yu pointed to the path ahead, saying:
"Right, just on this path, walk back and forth a few times."
"Same for everyone, thanks for the hard work, guys!"
"Old Zhao over there has it tougher; his role is quite significant, and he even has lines to memorize."
Gao Yumin snorted coldly:
"Damn, where's the hardship for Old Zhao!"
"He seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit."
"You should've said so earlier, said you guys were this close."
"There wouldn't even be a need for the counselor to post in the group chat; he could've just notified us to come fill the numbers."
Gou Feng tugged at Gao Yumin, signaling him not to lose his composure.
In front of Lin Yu, they absolutely couldn't let him see them as a joke.
Lin Yu smiled without speaking.
He had fully anticipated Gao Yumin's reaction.
At least he still had some backbone, a real man.
Over at Zhao Bin's side, although he couldn't hear the conversation between the few,
from their reactions and expressions, Zhao Bin knew he was probably done for.
Wu Chuntian asked curiously:
"Aren't you going over to say hello? Aren't you all dorm mates?"
Zhao Bin waved his hand, responding:
"No need, the shoot is important."
"If I go out now, I'm worried I won't find my spot when I come back."
Near the path, Xiang Tiange, acting as an extra, watched Lin Yu chatting with the three.
She asked Chi Qingchi puzzledly:
"Xiao Chi, between them... is there some conflict?"
Chi Qingchi looked at Xiang Tiange with surprise:
"You can tell even that?"
"Giggle giggle, your emotional intelligence is super high!"
Xiang Tiange, as if she had discovered major gossip, immediately pressed:
"Really? I guessed right?"
"I was just guessing; it seemed that way, but I have no real evidence."
"Xiao Chi, quickly tell me, what exactly happened between them?"
Chi Qingchi quietly pulled Xiang Tiange aside and whispered to her about that day's events.
However,
out of protection for her sister's privacy,
in her description, Chi Qingchi did not emphasize Shi Yanhai liking her sister.
Thus, to an outsider's ears,
the boys from Shi Yanhai's dorm sounded like perverts who had never seen a girl.
Their behavior was utterly outrageous!
Lin Yu, on the other hand, became the "hero" protecting the female classmate.
His feat of taking on four single-handedly added an even stronger halo around him.
Once preparations were mostly done, and Chi Qingshui had finished communicating with each actor,
the on-site formal filming began.
Miao Haixin stepped aside, observing her grandmother's every move.
Somehow,
watching her grandmother waiting earnestly, Miao Haixin felt a tumult of emotions in her heart.
One line, two shots.
Yet it could make her grandmother happy for several days in a row.
It was hard to imagine how boring the inner world of an elderly person must be,
for such a scene to become a rare anticipation.
"Positions everyone, Scene Nine, Shot One, Take One... Action!"
"Clap!"
The clapperboard sounded.
Everyone on set sprang into action.
Zhao Bin temporarily set aside the unease in his heart and devoted himself to the performance.
Although in the classroom, he had painfully witnessed the scene of Lin Yu's forceful kiss,
but now!
Taking advantage of the filming opportunity, he had a chance to hold Wu Chuntian's hand!
Zhao Bin felt the peak of life was probably this.
Even if he got cursed to death by his brothers later, he'd still be a ghost under the peony flower, right?
During the performance,
Zhao Bin's eyes remained red with excitement the whole time.
Shi Yanhai and the other two, acting as extras, saw all of this.
Didn't they know Zhao Bin?
What acting skills could he possibly have!
Any performance he managed now was entirely for the sake of putting on a show in front of Wu Chuntian!
"No!"
"No!!"
Yuan Hua's anguished cry to the heavens arrived as scheduled, completely igniting the atmosphere on set.
A student project, filmed in such an exaggerated manner.
Many of the extras who had been roped in couldn't help but laugh.
Gao Yumin looked at Zhao Bin disdainfully and whispered:
"Brother Dog, I owe you an apology."
Gou Feng, full of confusion, asked:
"What do you mean?"
Gao Yumin continued explaining:
"Before, I thought, if there was going to be a traitor among the four of us,"
"that traitor would definitely be you!"
Gou Feng elbowed Gao Yumin hard:
"Then you should apologize, and you should also get a pair of glasses."
"The words 'loyalty and righteousness' have always been written on my face."
"Old Zhao probably has the word 'lust' written on his damn forehead!"
Gao Yumin then asked Shi Yanhai:
"Monitor, what was Old Zhao's excuse for not filming the assignment with us today again?"
Shi Yanhai shook his head, saying:
"Forgot, it's not important. Actually, I kind of admire Old Zhao a bit."
Gao Yumin: "???"
Gou Feng: "???"
Of course, the two didn't understand Shi Yanhai's feelings.
Only from the perspective of a pursuer could one clearly see his mental activity.
To pursue Wu Chuntian, Old Zhao resolutely chose to abandon them.
Now that he was discovered, knowing full well he'd get scolded, he still prioritized Wu Chuntian's feelings.
On this point,
Old Zhao had already surpassed too many guys.
Regardless of whether Wu Chuntian ultimately chooses him or not,
at the very least,
Wu Chuntian can sense Old Zhao's sincerity and the attitude he displays.
Not far away, Lin Yu,
listening to Shi Yanhai's outrageous statement...
how to put it.
Even though they're all guys, not all feelings are universally shared.
What Shi Yanhai said fell completely outside Lin Yu's realm of understanding.
Don't get it, but respect it, I guess.
On the filming set.
After classmate Yuan Hua's cry of "No!", the shot was supposed to cut to the female teacher.
No movement needed, just give the required expression and deliver the line.
That was the entirety of Granny Miao's role.
"Granny Miao, are you ready?"
Lin Yu inquired considerately.
Granny Miao adjusted the specially prepared glasses, saying:
"Director Xiao Zhang, I'm ready."
Lin Yu raised his hand to signal Chi Qingshui that they could begin.
"Positions everyone, Scene Nine, Shot Two, Take One... Action!"
"Clap!"
The moment the clapperboard was removed,
Chi Qingshui ran behind the camera to observe Granny Miao's expression.
Granny Miao almost perfectly achieved the required "bystander shocked face."
She said to Zhao Bin:
"Isn't this classmate Yuan Hua? What's wrong?"
...
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
