Chen Xi glanced at Lan Qingyue, then at Wei Yu, and said in a very soft voice, "Miss Lan, you have good luck! You drew my competitive and lucky junior. She has the favor and good fortune of being favored by the big boss. The top ranking is definitely yours!"

Lan Qingyue frowned.

Chen Xi's words weren't very pleasant. What "the big boss's favorite"? It was practically an admission that she had powerful connections. No matter how terrible their designs were, the best ranking would belong to Wei Yu, and she was just riding on Wei Yu's coattails.

Could it be that Chen Xi is still holding a grudge against Wei Yu for losing to him in the past? Otherwise, why would he be targeting her at every turn?

Even she, an outsider, felt that Chen Xi was targeting Wei Yu. Didn't Wei Yu realize that?

In the original story, Wei Yu only studied at D University for two years and probably didn't have much interaction with the upperclassmen. Wei Yu wasn't someone who liked participating in club activities; her mind was entirely on studying and competitions. Wherever there was a competition, there Wei Yu would be there.

Wei Yu stepped forward, using her height advantage to slightly block Lan Qingyue. She smiled slightly, her smile confident yet aloof. "Senior is right. Hard work always pays off. I believe in the hard work of all the guests. The production team can see it, and so can the viewers in front of the TV."

Chen Xi's expression changed in an instant, so fast it was almost impossible to catch. "Hahaha~ Well said. I hope everyone relies on hard work, not just luck."

Wei Yu nodded in agreement, "Yes, hard work is the greatest source of confidence."

"Then let's each rely on our own abilities!" Chen Xi said with a meaningful smile as she walked away.

The thin layer of frost on Wei Yu's face immediately melted away. She turned to Lan Qingyue and said, "Qingyue, should we eat lunch on the first floor today, or bring it back?"

They've already taken care of the photos, so they don't want to bother the director with running around anymore.

Lan Qingyue was still wondering about Chen Xi's actions. Did she deliberately come over to say these things to Wei Yu in a suggestive way? Wei Yu wasn't stupid; of course she would retort.

In the end, she was the one who choked.

Lan Qingyue was a little relieved that she had never met a senior like that. When she went to register for university on her first day, a senior was also there to help her. Since it was the beginning of the semester, there were a lot of things to do, so the senior put her arm around her shoulder and led her to do the work. Her overly familiar manner completely surprised the shy Lan Qingyue.

Before the start of the semester, she had imagined many scenarios of meeting her senior classmates, such as aloof, indifferent, or fierce-looking.

So, this kind of senior sister does exist; Chen Xi should be one of them. Lan Qingyue glanced nervously at Wei Yu, who had a faint smile on her face. Her smile was truly beautiful, infectious, after shedding her cold demeanor. No wonder Ji Junyao was so eager to see Wei Yu's genuine smile. She replied, "How about we go downstairs for a walk and then bring it back to the room to eat?"

Wei Yu's smile deepened. "Sure, whatever you say."

The photographer followed them to the first floor, where there were only a few staff members. Rather than staff, they were more like chefs, dressed in special uniforms and busy in the small kitchen. The first floor was very quiet.

At midday, the blazing sun cast a golden glow across the living room floor, brightening the world and making it feel wonderful.
