canteen.
Geng Ying and Zhu Hao sat in the corner eating.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted at the entrance of the cafeteria, accompanied by sharp, excited screams.
Since you can't hear me, you naturally don't know anything; your mind is only on the delicious food in front of you.
Geng Ying had no interest in watching the spectacle, but she couldn't resist listening to the discussion around her.
"Hurry, hurry! We can't squeeze through!"
"No, why are you in such a hurry? Is there a celebrity coming?"
"Yeah! She's a celebrity! The second female lead in 'The Legend of the Moon' transferred to our school this semester. I heard she landed a role in an idol drama, and she's the lead!! They're even filming scenes on our school!"
"The Monthly Records?! The second female lead? That junior sister? The fairy in white? That Fang... Fang..."
"Fang Ling!"
"Yes, yes, Fang Ling! You said she transferred to our school?"
"Yeah! I saw someone post about her on WeChat Moments. She's in the cafeteria right now! Hurry! Go check it out, maybe you can get her autograph and a photo. I heard she's super nice, and she gets a photo with everyone who asks for one!!"
"Oh my god! Hurry up! I love the character she played! She's so beautiful! She's so delicate and pitiful! Sister Fang Ling, wait for me!!"
...
Someone rushed too fast and bumped into Zhu Hao and Geng Ying's table.
I almost spilled my rice bowl.
She looked up in surprise, glanced around, and saw two people in front of her who had almost fallen.
Geng Ying pressed one hand on the edge of the table, looking coldly at the person who had bumped into it, and said sternly, "Are you blind! Can't you see this big table? Why did you have to bump into it? Can't you see we're eating?"
The person who bumped into the table, before he could even stand up straight, turned around with a fierce look on his face. But when he met Geng Yingjie's imposing presence, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, he instantly became weak and apologized meekly. Then he quickly pulled the person next to him away.
Geng Ying clicked her tongue impatiently, sat down, and met Zhu Hao's starry eyes full of admiration. She couldn't help but smile.
She crossed her legs, clasped her arms, looked down at Zhu Hao, and slightly raised her chin, saying, "Let's eat."
Zhu nodded, held the bowl with both hands, and pushed it further inside.
At that moment, she also noticed the chaotic order in the cafeteria. Most people crowded to the cafeteria entrance but did not go out and just stayed there.
She shoveled a mouthful of rice and stuffed some vegetables into her mouth before picking up her phone. "What happened? Is there some kind of accident? Why is everyone crowded there?"
Geng Ying glanced at the entrance of the cafeteria, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "A celebrity transferred to our school, and everyone's gone to join in the fun."
Zhu Hao looked over curiously, but the crowd was so dense that it completely surrounded the center, making it impossible to see anything.
She had just swallowed the food in her mouth when she hurriedly stuffed another mouthful in, her cheeks bulging out like a little hamster.
Geng Ying stared at her, her fingertips itching.
So cute!!
Zhu Hao pushed the phone in front of her, met her "eagle-eyed" gaze, and skillfully stretched his neck to get closer to her.
Geng Ying smiled and reached out to cup her puffed-up little face, feeling Zhu Hao chewing in her palm.
She glanced at her phone screen. "What celebrity? Male or female?"
Geng Ying pouted, "She's a woman, but I don't think she's anything special."
Nod and put your phone away.
She wasn't interested in these things, but Geng Ying liked to talk about them. After all, Geng Ying majored in broadcasting and hosting, so it was inevitable that she would come into contact with celebrities.
Sometimes she would listen to Geng Ying tell her gossip about the entertainment industry, which was so sensational that it seemed unbelievable, more like a novel than fiction.
Seeing Geng Ying's expression, she knew he was about to start gossiping again, so she quickly stuffed more food into his bowl and stared at him with wide eyes.
Geng Ying kept ranting: "It's that second female lead in the currently hottest ancient costume fantasy drama 'The Legend of the Moon,' the one who plays the junior sister, her name is... Fang Ling. I saw a little bit of her interview when I was watching entertainment interviews before, and her mind was blank, she didn't interpret the character or the script at all. Of course, it could also be due to editing, but I just inexplicably don't like her. It's just that aura of hers, I don't like it. And I feel like she's been promoted to be so popular in the last two years. I'd never heard of her before. The character of that second female lead is kind and innocent, like a vase, pouring her heart out to the male and female leads. Anyone could play that role better than her..."
Geng Ying felt the chewing motion in her palm stop, and she looked at Zhu Hao in confusion, "What's wrong? You like it? Don't you not watch TV dramas much?"
Zhu Hao blinked slowly, then hesitantly took the phone. "Is it really her?"
"Probably. I just heard someone posted on their WeChat Moments that they got a photo with her." Geng Ying looked at him strangely. "You really like her?"
Zhu Hao shook her head slightly, sat up straight, and slowly typed, "She transferred to our school?"
"Yes, I came this semester."
"Is Fang Ling in the cafeteria now?"
"Yeah, and she also has an idol drama that's about to start filming at our school, called 'Our Little Happiness,' and she's playing the female lead. I really don't know how her lousy acting skills can carry the role. Just thinking about having to go with my teacher to the investment promotion interview for that new drama in a few days is giving me a headache. I really don't want to interview her!! Our vibes are incompatible! Absolutely incompatible!"
Best wishes, I remain silent.
She lowered her eyes and quietly swallowed the rest of the food in her mouth.
Geng Ying keenly sensed that something was wrong with Zhu Hao.
She stood up, sat down next to Zhu Hao, and poked her arm with her slender fingertips.
Best wishes, glancing sideways.
"What's wrong with you? You don't seem to like that celebrity. Do you dislike her?" Geng Ying asked, puzzled. "That's strange. With your personality, would you dislike anyone?"
Zhu Hao's lips moved slightly, and she held the phone out to her. "It's not that I dislike you."
Geng Ying stared at the screen without saying a word; she was waiting for Zhu Hao to explain.
Zhu Hao put his phone away and slowly typed, "She is my sister, the adopted daughter of my biological parents."
Geng Ying stared at the text on her phone, her brows furrowed.
Fang Ling is Zhu Hao's two-month-old sister?
Wishing well to the younger sister whose biological parents show favoritism?
The cold screen displayed declarative sentences, yet Geng Ying inexplicably sensed a hint of loss and melancholy.
Geng Ying pursed her lips and looked up in the direction of the cafeteria entrance.
The noisy crowd gradually moved towards the interior of the cafeteria, still some distance away from them.
Geng Ying stood up nimbly, picked up their bags, and pulled Zhu Hao away through the back door.
*
Fang Ling, who was in the center of the crowd, wore a light blue knee-length dress and had her long, smooth black hair draped over her back, covering her slender waist.
Her features were not aggressive, exuding gentleness and obedience, yet she was unforgettable, especially her light amber eyes, which seemed to glow under the light.
Fang Ling lowered the brim of her hat, subtly rolled her eyes while keeping a polite and distant smile on her face, and held the hat and mask she had just taken off in her hand. She accepted the photos handed to her by the crowd and signed them perfunctorily.
