Chapter 3
"Acting Improvement Buff": Valid for 1 hour
Ling Suisui did not call out Chen Yuening's name. She knew that it would be very embarrassing if the star was recognized at this time.
Especially male stars, they have a heavy idol burden.
She pretended not to know him and asked, "Classmate, are you okay?"
"…I'm much better now, thank you."
After thanking him, he explained, "I don't usually do this. It's just that I haven't run for a long time. I accidentally ran too fast just now."
Chen Yuening looked around and fortunately, there were not many people around in the early morning. No one else should have seen it, so it was worth it that he chose this time to come to the playground.
But the girl in front of him... Chen Yuening was not sure whether she recognized him.
If you say she recognized him, there wasn't even a hint of surprise in her eyes.
To say that I didn't notice anything at all - when I reported for duty yesterday, his offline popularity was actually pretty good... and it even became a trending topic.
Ling Sui, who had a full view of his inner thoughts, tried hard to suppress the smile on his face.
Chen Yuening is young, but he is quite confident.
But it’s normal, all traffic students are like this.
Ling Suisui: "If you are okay, I will leave first. If you still feel uncomfortable, remember to go see the school clinic when it opens."
[Currently, [Chen Yuening]'s favorability towards you is 83]
It's rising so fast, it seems his heartbeat hasn't calmed down yet.
When Ling Sui turned around, Chen Yuening called her.
"Wait... classmate, thank you for helping me just now. Otherwise, add my contact information and I'll have someone... treat you to a meal someday."
Ling Suisui smiled and declined: "No, I'm just helping out."
When she turned and left, Chen Yuening's favorability towards her rose to eighty-four.
...It seems that he was deeply moved by her spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name and without asking for anything in return.
I don’t know how long this value can last, maybe a month?
Who cares? She doesn’t really want to conquer Chen Yuening.
Ling Sui returned to the student dormitory and opened the dormitory door with his campus card. On the way, she brought breakfast for her roommates.
It was a little after eight, but Xia Tian was still lying in bed.
"Yesterday the counselor said in the group that there will be a freshman meeting for the acting department at 9 o'clock."
Ling Suisui reminded, "The location is in the A1 teaching building, which is a bit far from here. If you don't get up, wash up and have breakfast, you will probably be late."
Xia Tian struggled to get out of bed. She already had a face that was not easy to mess with, and now she looked even more ferocious.
She looked at Xiang Yanchu's empty bed and felt doubly unhappy.
"I should have asked for leave earlier." She muttered, "It's just a notice, who can't come up with a few."
Ling Sui heard it, but she didn't say anything.
The entertainment industry is not short of second-generation people and those with connections. Today I will provide some resources to your juniors, and tomorrow you will take care of the newcomers I bring with you. Once the fancy sedan is lifted, ordinary people will have no chance to take care of it.
She clicked into the system, and the previously gray page still had a progress bar of [Loading…], indicating that it would take an estimated 6 hours and 8 minutes.
Ling Suisui took a look and closed it. She was not in a hurry. Moreover, she also needs to do some preparation work regarding the prop.
At 8:40, Ling Sui urged his two roommates to go out quickly.
The campus life of students majoring in acting is not much different from that of ordinary college students.
For example, they still have to attend boring meetings, which are said to be freshman education, but in fact they are nailed to their seats and imprisoned for two hours.
404 sat in the same row, Wen Jiayan was by the aisle, Ling Suisui was in the middle, and Xia Tian was at the innermost.
Xia Tian rested his elbows on the table, chin in his hand, and looked like he was about to fall asleep.
"Don't sleep." Ling Suisui reminded her quietly, "There are teachers from the college publicity department taking pictures in front."
Xia Tian looked up and saw the person holding the camera at the door in front of him on the right. The camera was just facing them and was filming them.
She sighed heavily, turned around and glared at Chen Yuening behind her.
Chen Yuening: …
He was confused and didn't understand Xia Tian's behavior.
Well... Ling Sui knew that it was actually related to the seat chosen by Chen Yuening.
In fact, he was not sitting here when he first entered the classroom. But after he chose his seat, more and more people gathered around him. After all, it was just the beginning of the school year, and everyone felt it was new to see him as their star classmate.
But he chose a bad location, being next to the door and the window, in such a conspicuous area, he just needed to put up a banner saying "Chen Yuening is here" to attract onlookers to check in.
Therefore, Chen Yuening moved to the area with the least people and closer to the inside, which was behind the members of dormitory 404 who had just sat down.
As he walked away, many classmates taking photos with their mobile phones followed him. This area instantly became a place where students gathered. The photography teacher specifically chose this place to take pictures, and leaders from all walks of life also subconsciously looked here when they inspected.
"It's all your fault for insisting on sitting here and bringing so many people with you, attracting the teacher's attention."
Xia Tian said to Chen Yuening, "Otherwise, I would have fallen asleep on the table a long time ago."
Ling Suisui: ...
She had no doubt that Xia Tian was capable of doing such a thing, and her displeasure at the moment was very genuine.
Although they had only been together for one day, Ling Sui already had a general understanding of Xia Tian's temper.
Her intestines are straighter than a ruler. There is no such thing as roundaboutness, politeness or courtesy. If anyone makes her unhappy, she will definitely get close to him and start a fight, even if she is not in the right.
Of course, given the current situation, Ling Suisui feels that Xia Tian is more reasonable.
——To be honest, she originally wanted to hide here and watch a movie, but now this plan has also gone down the drain.
When Chen Yuening was so embarrassed that he picked his feet and didn't know how to answer Xia Tian, Ling Sui turned around.
"Hey, nice to see you again."
Ling Suisui looked at him meaningfully: "You brought so many people here, so I didn't even have the chance to sneak out to the bathroom. It seems that you really want to treat me to a meal. You don't mind having two more people, right?"
Xia Tian looked at her, and Wen Jiayan also pricked up her ears.
"Sui Sui, do you know each other?" Xia Tian's eyes moved between the two of them, "If you had told us earlier that you wanted to sit together, we could have sat in separate dormitories."
Ling Suisui immediately explained: "No, I just met him when I was jogging in the morning."
She said to Chen Yuening, "I thought you looked familiar. I went back and checked my phone and then I remembered who you were. It turns out you're a big star in our acting department."
Chen Yuening waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I'm just an ordinary student like everyone else."
The topic was changed and the atmosphere eased slightly.
Ling Suisui confirmed that Xia Tian’s anger came and went quickly, so all he needed to do was divert her attention.
If we were to ask what Ling Suisui's many years in the entertainment industry have brought him, it would probably be the ability to be flawless and presentable wherever he goes.
Hopefully in this world it won't be forced to become instinct again.
At this time, Wen Jiayan interjected: "Then why did he invite you to dinner?"
This question... Xia Tian glanced at Wen Jiayan, and Chen Yuening's breathing became rapid.
Ling Suisui paused and smiled, "He lost his phone while running, and I helped him find it."
This answer obviously made Chen Yuening feel relieved, and he immediately continued:
"Yes, I haven't thanked you yet. It's my treat, what do you want to eat? Let's go outside the school."
System prompt: [Currently [Chen Yuening]'s favorability towards you is 85]
Ling Suisui clicked his tongue twice in his heart.
Man, your name is face-saving.
Xia Tian, who was no longer angry, said: "It's not me who found your phone, you can just ask Sui Sui to be alone."
Wen Jiayan, who was about to mention a certain restaurant, silently swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"I wouldn't dare to do that." Ling Suisui crossed her hands, "Have you forgotten how popular he is recently? If the paparazzi take his picture, it will be hard to explain."
On the surface, Ling Suisui was thinking about Chen Yuening;
In fact, what she was thinking in her heart was that her first impression in front of the public must not be "Chen Yuening's rumored girlfriend", otherwise this label would bind her entire acting career!
For female artists trying to survive in the entertainment industry, it is most important to remember that being beautiful and unique is the most important thing.
They hadn't discussed dinner yet, and Chen Yuening hadn't asked her name yet. She only knew that others called her "suìsuì" when the counselor who came over coughed and gave her a warning look.
The hospital leader is speaking here, stop chatting!
The members of dormitory 404 quickly turned around, and Chen Yuening also sat up straight with his back straight.
The stage talked about the establishment of experimental classes and the opening examinations this year. Just as Ling Suisui expected, many students received the news in advance and they were not surprised at all.
For example, Xia Tian next to her, and Chen Yuening behind her.
Wen Jiayan's jaw almost dropped in shock. Who would have thought that to get into the Film Academy, one had to take more exams before being assigned to a class.
She complained bitterly: "The exam is in a few days, and I'm only notified now. How can I have enough time to prepare?"
Ling Sui lowered his head and said nothing.
The advantages and disadvantages of information asymmetry in this industry have long spread to every corner of the upstream and downstream. Film schools are no exception.
After learning that there would be entrance exams, the freshmen's attention was drawn to them. When the show was over, no one gathered around Chen Yuening.
No one was watching, and Chen Yuening finally found out Ling Suisui's name and added her contact information.
"Good luck on your exams," he said. "After you're done, I'll treat you to a meal. You can choose the location."
Ling Suisui made an OK gesture, and Xia Tian yawned beside him.
"I'm not going." She told Ling Suisui, "He doesn't really want to invite me."
Ling Suisui: "...next time you can wait until he is a little further away."
Chen Yuening, who was walking in front, pretended not to hear and quietly quickened his pace to leave.
What Wen Jiayan wanted to say was blocked again.
In fact, she really wanted to try the feeling of having dinner with a celebrity...but Xia Tian had already said so, so how could she ask Ling Suisui?
Moreover, she felt that Ling Suisui didn't seem to take this dinner seriously.
——That’s true. Ling Suisui asked him to treat them to a meal purely to lighten the atmosphere.
After the grade meeting, they also had to receive military training uniforms and overweight textbooks.
Some people may be curious about what classes students in the acting department usually take. In response to this question, Ling Sui took out College Chinese, College English, Advanced Mathematics, and Outline of Modern History.
After the entrance exam, there will be military training, but there will be no classes in the few days before the exam. This is the campus adaptation period left by the Film Academy for the freshmen. Except for large-scale activities and lectures arranged by the department, you can use the rest of your time as you like.
Ling Suisui took her camera and tripod and went to the small rehearsal room she had applied for on the campus system.
Although the interior space is a bit small, there is a whole mirror wall, which makes Ling Suisui very satisfied.
Coincidentally, the new system section has also been loaded.
Under the urging of the system, Ling Suisui received the novice gift package first.
Points were automatically deposited into her account, although she didn't know what they were for yet. She clicks on the item to see its detailed description:
"Acting skill improvement buff": valid for 1 hour, acting skills will be improved immediately after use.
...wait, it doesn't say at all how the improvement is achieved, so it's as if there is no introduction at all.
System: [Host, as long as this item is used on Chen Yuening, it will definitely help him get good grades in the entrance exam. 】
Ling Suisui raised a question: [But according to the confidentiality regulations of the Time Management Bureau, the host cannot reveal the existence of the system to others. Doesn't this contradict my request to use props to help him and improve his favorability? 】
System: [Please rest assured, the effect of using system props is similar to a flash of inspiration. You can communicate with him first and use props during the conversation. Not only will he not notice it, but he will also subconsciously think that it is you who brings him inspiration. 】
Hiss... this mind interference ability is quite strong.
Does the system want her to use props to create some koi or lucky star persona for herself? From the perspective of the results (the system wants), they actually reach the same destination through different paths.
Ling Suisui stared at the prop thoughtfully, the system still outputting:
[Host, [Chen Yuening] currently has a high favorability value towards you, you can seize the opportunity to press on. 】
[…Host, what are you doing! ! ! ! 】
Why, why would Ling Sui use the props now and specify herself as the target?
