After hearing Shen Xingchen's words, Jian Xingsui felt as if she were listening to a horror story and subconsciously retorted, "It must be a coincidence."
Shen Xingchen said, "How come all the coincidences happen to you?"
Jian Xingsui couldn't explain. He stammered, feeling a mix of joy and unease. Half of him was pleased with the beautiful scenario Shen Xingchen had created for him, while the other half was burdened by harsh reality, which told him it was impossible. Although the plot seemed different from what he had seen before, like a butterfly flapping its wings slightly, there was no real change.
He was just cannon fodder. In his previous life, he died because he didn't have a clear understanding of himself. Death at least gave him some brainpower, so he wouldn't be so foolish as to fantasize about things that didn't belong to him.
"Maybe it's because I've never met anyone poorer than me," Jian Xingsui said with a light self-deprecating laugh. "So I took a few more glances."
Shen Xingchen scoffed, "Look at your pathetic self."
Fu Jinxiao has been wandering the world for many years, and he has seen all kinds of people, rich and poor. This little storm is nothing to him. How could he possibly look at someone differently just because of 20,000 yuan?
But this incident seemed to remind him, and Shen Xingchen looked Jian Xingsui up and down before hesitatingly saying, "To be honest, you don't seem to have anything special about you."
Wen Shengge leaned closer and said with a smile, "At first glance, you might think that Sui Sui is difficult to get along with."
"Actually, you're quite simple-minded." Shen Xingchen flicked Jian Xingsui's head and smiled. "Maybe being a simpleton is just lucky."
Jian Xingsui covered her head: "I'm already stupid, and you still hit my head."
Shen Xingchen laughed heartily: "So what if I hit you on the head? Are you going to tell the teacher? Ah, I'm not afraid of anyone here. You think you can bring Brother Fu here?"
Jian Xingsui glared at him angrily.
Just then, the door outside made a slight noise, but it was quite clear in the night.
An elegant yet clear voice rang out: "Excuse me, may I interrupt?"
The room suddenly fell silent.
Shen Xingchen's arrogant smile froze on his face. He turned his head in disbelief and saw a tall man standing at the door. Fu Jinxiao had come off the formal stage, his suit jacket was off and casually draped over his arm, and he was only wearing a white T-shirt. Compared with his dignified and refined demeanor during the day, he now had a more unrestrained and roguish air.
Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow and slowly asked, "You were looking for me?"
Shen Xingchen wished he could live on another planet. The arrogant man who had just been acting so arrogantly stammered, "No, no, brother, did you hear me wrong?"
"Yeah?"
Fu Jinxiao turned her gaze to Jian Xingsui and asked, "Did I hear that right?"
Why would I ask myself that?
Jian Xingsui felt like he'd been given a hot potato, and now he was the one stammering again: "Ah, um, um..."
Fu Jinxiao walked in, his leather shoes making a crisp sound on the smooth dormitory floor. The man approached and stood in front of Jian Xingsui. This was the first time they had been so close. His voice rang out from above: "Look up."
Jian Xingsui obediently looked up and met those amorous phoenix eyes. Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow: "Would I eat people?"
Jian Xingsui hurriedly shook her head.
Fu Jinxiao chuckled: "Then why are you panicking?"
Actually, he wasn't the only one panicking in the dorm; the whole dorm was in a panic. Fu Yingdi was a senior figure in the entertainment industry, and his appearance here was as terrifying as a school principal suddenly appearing in a student dormitory.
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the crew members carrying cameras came in from behind. One of them said, "We're here to inspect the dorms. Everyone in the dorms, please open your suitcases. We need to check for contraband."
Because this dormitory was the first one, it was naturally the first one to be targeted.
Shen Xingchen wailed, "No way, we need to do another checkup?"
Fu Jinxiao glanced at them and asked, "What are you howling about?"
Shen Xingchen immediately shut up; this was more effective than tape.
The staff and others didn't dare to offend this young master, which is why they invited Fu Jinxiao to host the event. Sure enough, Fu Jinxiao's presence was worth two people; some people were already intimidating just by standing there.
The suitcases of several people were opened, and their belongings were displayed to the audience. It was now 9 or 10 pm, and most office workers who had been busy all day could watch the live stream. Many people were very interested.
"Although it may seem immoral, I'm so excited and looking forward to it, everyone!"
"Haha, what did the male celebrities bring?"
"Could it be some kind of musical instrument or dance costume or something?"
Clearly, the audience was still a bit too naive.
As each box was opened, what was revealed to everyone was a lot of unbelievable things: game consoles, tablets, dumbbells, Lao Gan Ma chili sauce...
Actor Fu's gaze fell coolly on the bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.
Jian Xingsui said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, the bibimbap is delicious."
The staff couldn't help but burst out laughing. Everyone knew about the kid who had bent over for 20,000 yuan, but they never expected that the kid could actually live such a frugal life. They continued to check Jian Xingsui's suitcase and found Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, broad bean paste, pancakes, and even a thermos.
So I asked, "Why are you carrying such a big thermos?"
Jian Xingsui honestly replied, "Because that way we won't have to buy water from outside. Prices here are very high, and everyone sells Baishui Mountain water."
That's quite honest.
The viewers in the live stream were already in a frenzy:
"I went to the cinema before and found that they only sell Baishui Mountain cigarettes!"
"Yes, yes, water is very expensive in some places."
"Brother, it seems you really need those 20,000 yuan!"
The staff member asked, "This dumbbell?"
The taciturn Ning Ze took a step forward: "Mine, I'm used to exercising before bed."
"But we have them in our gym."
"This barbell has been with me since I was a child, I'm used to it."
Staff: "..."
However, these weren't actually contraband items. On the contrary, Shen Xingchen's game console and tablet were contraband. When those things were taken away, Shen Xingchen started wailing and tugging at Fu Jinxiao's clothes: "Don't take them away! I'll only play for a little while tonight! Brother, how can you be so heartless? I'm going to tell my older brother..."
The person who had just threatened Jian Xingsui to report him was now acting like a primary school student, trying to get away with it in front of Fu Jinxiao.
Fu Jinxiao dealt with this persistent pest with ease. He stopped and looked down: "Are you sure you want to keep howling?"
Shen Xingchen: "Ah..."
“If you speak any louder, the other dorms will hear you.” Fu Jinxiao spoke slowly and deliberately, lowering her voice slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, as she whispered, “They’ll all be hidden, and we’ll only confiscate yours…”
It sounded like the devil's whisper, speaking with a laugh.
But effortlessly, Shen Xingchen's wails disappeared instantly. He composed himself, gave an "I understand" look, and even urged, "Hurry up, hurry to the next room, don't be late, brother."
The others stared in disbelief at the scene.
Those who were far away didn't hear what was said, but they thought Fu Jinxiao was amazing; dealing with this young master was really easy for him.
The viewers in the live stream got the gist of it, and the screen was filled with laughter:
"My brother Fu is still the strongest."
"This man is too cunning."
"These people are so cute, I love this whole dorm."
Tonight's entire operation was filled with cries of anguish. Many people had their electronic devices confiscated. In fact, all four mentors participated in this event, and wails of pain could be heard from many dormitories. Only the row that Fu Jinxiao was in charge of was free of such cries. When the movie star Fu stood at the door, all the contestants chose to obey and dared not cause any trouble.
After the event ended, an announcement was made: "All items have been collected. Now we will distribute Star Beans, the universal currency of the 'Starlight' program, based on everyone's performance that day. Star Beans can be used to unlock various benefits. When you have a certain number of Star Beans, you can 'redeem' the items that were confiscated. Please send a representative from each dormitory to the lobby on the first floor to collect your Star Beans."
Jian Xingsui's dormitory, 403, also heard it.
Shen Xingchen was devastated: "I'm not going anyway."
Ning Ze's mind was solely focused on practicing with dumbbells.
Wen Shengge looked at Jian Xingsui somewhat embarrassedly and said, "That Suisui, I do beauty exercises every night at this time."
"..."
Am I the only one?
Jian Xingsui resignedly said, "Okay."
But he doesn't like to compete for anything now, so he was slow and leisurely. When he got to the lobby on the first floor, most of the dormitories had already collected their items. Jian Xingsui thought there shouldn't be many people left, but when he went over, there were still a few instructors there. He composed himself and went over. Since the instructor who confiscated their dormitory's items was Fu Jinxiao, he had to go to Fu Yingdi to collect his items.
This presents Jian Xingsui with yet another tense challenge.
He walked over slowly and said, "Hello, Brother Fu."
Fu Jinxiao, who was sitting at the table in front of him, was leaning back lazily in his chair. In front of him was a form with the number of Star Beans on it, and next to it was a box. Jian Xingsui signed and claimed the Star Beans herself, and then handed them to Fu Jinxiao: "I've filled them out."
Fu Jinxiao reached out and took it, replying casually, "There are star beans in the box. Take as many as you like."
Jian Xingsui nodded obediently: "Okay."
The way he looked down was very serious, just like that child in the rice cake shop who insisted on working despite his injured hand, earnestly and stubbornly protecting his idol on a certain afternoon, in a place where no one knew him.
Fu Jinxiao glanced at the form casually and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Did Shen Xingchen bully you guys in the dorm?"
Jian Xingsui paused, remembering that they seemed to have been seen fooling around tonight, so he gently shook his head: "No."
Fu Jinxiao chuckled lightly, his expression ambiguous.
For some reason, Jian Xingsui suddenly felt a little nervous. She thought that some people really had a powerful aura, and their imposing presence without anger was probably just like that.
“I know his personality well. The Shen family is wealthy, and this kid has been spoiled. You’ll have to put up with some trouble if you share a dorm with him.” Fu Jinxiao said languidly, his long legs crossed, his words as casual as if he were chatting: “I sent him here this time to temper his arrogance, so you don’t need to make excuses for him. If he really acts out or does something unruly, you can certainly come and complain to me.”
...
Jian Xingsui's eyelashes trembled slightly. So, he really saw and remembered what happened in the dormitory?
But it certainly wasn't for his own sake. It was probably to help Shen Xingchen temper her character, so he specifically instructed him. Sometimes, you just can't think too highly of yourself.
“Of course.” While Jian Xingsui was still pondering, Fu Jinxiao put down the form in his hand, raised his eyes, lifted his eyelids to look at him, and smiled: “It’s not just that. If he bullies you, you can also tell him.”
