Chapter 47 An Shixia Agrees to Film a Promotional Video

Jiang Zhiyao was secretly delighted: "Brother Sheng, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself!"

"Alright, hurry up and go to class, or you'll be late."

In the classroom, Shen Tongtong was also discussing the evening banquet with An Shixia.

This banquet is also a kind of graduation banquet. Although I am only a junior, my courses have ended and my internship is over before I enter the workforce.

"I heard that the school is holding a special event this time. Everyone will be assigned a number, and the student whose number is drawn will have to go up and perform a show."

Shen Tongtong spoke of this with a heavy heart. She couldn't sing or dance, and she couldn't very well perform painting on stage, could she?

They can draw for hours at a time, and nobody has the patience to look at it.

However, she quickly came to terms with it; with so many people, the chances of her being chosen were extremely slim.

All third-year students are required to attend this banquet, regardless of their year or major.

"The campus posters for this year haven't been taken yet. In previous years, it was He Huaisheng and Jiang Zhiyao, but this year they've both been involved in numerous scandals, so the student council doesn't plan to use them anymore. They've even taken down the previous posters."

When Shen Tongtong mentioned the poster, An Shixia recalled the message she received a couple of days ago. She had refused, but the student council said to let her think about it some more. If she still didn't want to shoot it after three days, they would consult other people.

“The student council approached me, but I didn’t agree. I felt it was a waste of time.”

Actually, the student council wanted her to be with Yan Lingyu and to persuade him.

Shen Tongtong wasn't surprised by An Shixia's words: "Xiaxia, are you really not going to reconsider? You and Yan Lingyu are a perfect match. Putting everything else aside, university life is coming to an end, so it would be nice to leave some campus memories behind."

An Shixia suddenly felt a little tempted.

She didn't have any good memories of university, and she neglected Yan Lingyu for so long, which is quite a pity.

If Yan Lingyu has time, he can give it a try.

"It seems...not bad either."

An Shixia couldn't help but take out her phone and open Yan Lingyu's chat window.

Yan Lingyu replied to each of the messages she had just complained about, adding at the end, "Stay away from lunatics."

An Shixia raised an eyebrow and sent a message: 【Are you free these next few days?】

Yan Lingyu replied instantly: "Xiaxia, is something the matter?"

He didn't answer whether there was a yes or no. If An Shixia had something to do, he would make time for her even if he didn't have time.

An Shixia: [The student council wants us to take promotional photos for next year's student recruitment.]

I'm available to take photos anytime you want.

An Shixia's lips curved slightly upwards, without her even realizing it.

Seeing her expression, Shen Tongtong clicked her tongue twice: "Tsk tsk tsk, a woman in love~"

An Shixia wasn't embarrassed by the teasing: "How did you figure that out?"

"Your smile is practically reaching your temples."

As she spoke, Shen Tongtong made a gesture, pulling the corners of her mouth toward her temples.

"I love it! How dare you laugh at me? Believe me or not, I'll secretly show you the promotional video I filmed!"

An Shixia has decided to shoot a promotional video and will reply to the Student Union later.

Shen Tongtong's face was filled with surprise: "Really? Are we really going to film this? Do you know how long I've been waiting!"

She had been looking forward to An Shixia appearing in the promotional video since her freshman year of college. It would be a real shame not to promote such an outstanding face.

Unfortunately, An Shixia wasn't interested in any of these things.

“Really, I’ll reply to the Student Union right now.”

She retrieved the messages she had sent a couple of days ago and edited a new text message: "[Dear President, after two days of consideration, I accept your invitation. Yan Lingyu will also be joining me.]"

The president of the student council was so shocked by the sudden news that he jumped up from his chair.

Everyone in the conference room stared at him instantly.

The vice president asked, puzzled, "What's got you so worked up?"

The president, feigning mystery, asked, "Guess?"

"For the president to be so excited, it must be something big. Could it be that the school's funding has finally come through?"

The propaganda officer stroked his chin, making a guess.

The vice president immediately stuck out his index finger and shook it: "This kind of thing isn't worth the president getting so excited about. I bet he's plotting something, and it's been approved by the school."

The vice president really knows the president; he guessed the gist of it as soon as he opened his mouth.

The president picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "More or less, but you'll never guess this news!"

"Stop beating around the bush, what is it that we can't know?"

Seeing the expectant gazes of the crowd, the president straightened his tie: "An Shixia has agreed to film the promotional video, and..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Yan Lingyu will also be coming."

The entire room fell silent.

After a few seconds of silence, the crowd whispered among themselves and finally came to a conclusion: the president has developed delusions!

The vice president even reached out and touched his forehead twice: "Something's not right, he doesn't have a fever, so why is he dreaming in broad daylight?"

The president slapped his hand away: "I wasn't daydreaming, An Shixia really agreed!"

Fearing that people wouldn't believe him, he immediately projected the message on his phone: "See? That's her reply!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the text messages, and they remained stunned for a long time.

This is too surreal; they're all wondering if they're dreaming.

"President, pinch yourself."

The head of the propaganda department called out.

"I won't pinch myself. I'm not stupid. If you feel like you're dreaming, then pinch yourself."

The president proudly held his head high. After serving as president for two years, he could finally hold his head high!

The head of the propaganda department actually pinched himself, wincing in pain: "Ouch, ouch, looks like it's not a dream."

"Is the rumor true? Is An Shixia really with Yan Lingyu?"

"Where there are people, there is gossip," a girl asked quietly.

"I dare not say that. They haven't announced it yet, so we shouldn't say it in front of them. We went to a lot of trouble to invite them. If we say something wrong and make them stop filming, it would be a huge loss."

The president was genuinely worried about this happening and repeated it several times.

He only let them leave after everyone present had almost memorized the words.

At the evening banquet, everyone assumed they should wear formal attire. An Shixia chose a black and white patchwork dress. The top was a tight-fitting black one, with the black and white patchwork section decreasing in height from left to right. A black and white rose adorned the patchwork section, and the skirt slightly trailed on the ground. She wore the same pearl jewelry set, without changing it.

Shen Tongtong dressed up for once, wearing a white fishtail dress, her thick bangs were curled up to reveal her forehead, and she had changed her glasses to contact lenses, making her look completely new.

The moment the two stepped into the venue, the previously noisy atmosphere instantly ceased.

"Wow... School beauty An is so beautiful."

"Who's that next to her? I've never seen her before."

"Wow! School bully Yan is here, and what he's wearing... is it a matching outfit with school beauty An?"

An Shixia turned around and saw Yan Lingyu walking towards her; their eyes met in mid-air.
