Chapter 71 She Didn't Want
"Oh dear, where have you been having fun? You've forgotten all about home!" Shi Yan teased, drawing out her words and making faces.
Jiang Luo waved her hands repeatedly, pretending not to hear, and then said, "Didn't you say you were going to announce something? Hurry up and announce it!"
He Ziyan smiled but remained silent, cooperating by keeping quiet.
Jiang Luo buried her head in Shi Yan's side, sat upright with her hands on her lap, like a student listening attentively in class, and used urging to cover up her shyness: "It's 10 o'clock, hurry up and announce it."
He Ziyan walked over and sat down next to her without any hesitation.
"Alright, all the teachers are here. Now I'll announce the latest rules for living in the cabins." The staff member walked to the front with a card in hand.
"First of all, congratulations to all the teachers on the upcoming completion of the first phase of filming for the program 'Springtime Romance'. In the past week, our live stream viewership far exceeded expectations, once surpassing 20 million. This is all thanks to the charisma of our teachers."
Everyone laughed.
"Tomorrow is the last day of the first phase. Teachers can return to their accommodations tomorrow night and come back next Monday."
It's finally time to leave.
The joy lasted only a second before Jiang Luo suddenly remembered that she had renewed her subscription.
She renewed her contract, but what about He Ziyan?
"Next Monday, we will have a new guest! You can look forward to it! Finally, and this is probably what all the teachers are most eager to hear, starting from the next phase, live streams will be canceled, and mobile phones will no longer be confiscated!"
Everyone cheered.
Live streaming is meant to be a pre-show promotional format. Now that the show's popularity has exceeded expectations, it has been decided to maintain the mystery surrounding the content, reserving more details for the main episode and using behind-the-scenes photos to sustain the buzz.
Most importantly, the production team secured a wave of top-tier sponsors, which gave them the confidence to opt out of the live broadcast.
With the buzz generated and top sponsors joining in, "Springtime Romance" has achieved its goals at lightning speed, which is truly commendable.
After the staff finished making the announcement, everyone applauded.
Jiang Luo glanced at He Ziyan and saw that he looked normal.
Since there's been no announcement of his departure, does that mean he's not leaving?
Or... will we be notified next Monday?
Clutching the folds of her long dress, Jiang Luo lowered her eyes.
She didn't want He Ziyan to quit.
Although it's only been a week, he seems to have already become a part of her life.
The city is falling asleep; the hustle and bustle has subsided, leaving behind a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
-
It was evening, with waves of rosy light.
The streets were deserted, and there was only one person in the world.
The man led Jiang Luo, running down the street.
His palms were wide and thin, soft and delicate, with slender fingers tightly clasping her hand.
He was wearing a white shirt, as clean as the sky after it had been washed.
His long, slender arms and thin back exuded a refreshing youthful charm.
Like the school heartthrob of his student days, he attracts attention wherever he goes.
It is Yan Zihe.
He's her boyfriend.
Where is Yan Zihe taking her?
Suddenly, the person in front stopped.
Turning around, the paper-thin face gradually became three-dimensional, eventually transforming into a 3D person.
He parted his thin lips and said, "Luo Luo, I am He Ziyan."
Yes, this is not Yan Zihe, this is He Ziyan!
After speaking, he walked towards Jiang Luo.
As if frozen in place, Jiang Luo was unable to move.
She could only watch helplessly as that face that had captivated her drew closer and closer to her.
Until, her eyes could only hold him.
He Ziyan slowly lowered his head.
What do you need to do?
Is it... a kiss?
Why... am I still secretly looking forward to it?
"Knock knock knock".
Jiang Luo woke up with a start.
The room was pitch black.
It was a dream.
She actually had such a wet dream!
This is such a sin!
"Knock knock knock".
The knocking continued.
She sat up groggily, tossed her hair, got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and walked toward the door.
When the door opened, a staff member whispered, "Teacher, Brother Lin is here. He said he wants to take you to the audition."
Jiang Luo nodded, still feeling drowsy.
The staff left.
She closed the door.
Dragging my still-sleepy body, I went into the bathroom to wash up.
The cold water splashed on her face, and she became more awake.
As I changed my clothes and stepped out of the room, my gaze fell on the clock. It was only 5:20, the early hours of the morning.
The job came unexpectedly.
On the bus.
“When I received the call, I was stunned. I had submitted your information to them before, but they didn’t even give you a chance to audition. I never expected that they would ask you to fill in.”
Save the day.
Catching a key word, Jiang Luo asked, "I remember that role was originally cast as Luo Nan, right? What happened to her?"
She spent the whole day yesterday on her date with He Ziyan and didn't check Weibo, so she was unaware of the changes happening in the outside world.
"Luo Nan has run into some trouble..." Lin Heng's voice lowered, and what he was about to say was rather difficult to say.
Based on Lin Heng's reaction, Jiang Luo deduced that it must be a very painful problem.
She didn't ask, and Lin Heng continued, "You should remember, right? There was a female internet celebrity who interfered in her marriage, so she hired someone to expose that female internet celebrity, and in the end, she divorced her husband. The female internet celebrity was blacklisted because of this and owed a lot of money that she couldn't pay back."
Jiang Luo had heard about this matter, but not from rumors; she saw the whole thing on the trending topics.
Just one year after Luo Nan married her scumbag ex-husband, he was photographed having a late-night rendezvous with a female internet celebrity.
Initially, the blame was directed at the scumbag.
During that period, opening Weibo revealed a deluge of condemnations against scumbag men.
Later, the female internet celebrity braved the storm and spoke out "for love," using a short essay to describe her love story with the scumbag to illustrate her courage in "pursuing love."
As a result, the situation changed, and only the two female parties involved were left to be evaluated.
The scumbag disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace whatsoever.
"Their divorce proceedings recently concluded, and Luo Nan's ex-husband will have to leave with nothing."
Jiang Luo replied, "That's inevitable."
Lin Heng's expression was heavy. "Then, yesterday..." he continued with difficulty, "Luo Nan had some indecent photos posted online."
Suddenly opening her eyes wide, Jiang Luo sat up in surprise, her hands dangling in the air.
After a long pause, she heard her own desolate voice ask, "Who...who sent this?"
The anger surging through her blood washed away her drowsiness, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.
How could anyone do such a filthy and despicable thing?!
“There are many rumors in the industry. Some say that the female internet celebrity stole the photos from Luo Nan’s ex-husband’s phone to get revenge on Luo Nan. Others say that Luo Nan’s ex-husband gave the photos to the female internet celebrity’s creditors. There are many different opinions.”
Anger and disgust choked her, like a piece of lead stuck in her throat, making Jiang Luo feel nauseous.
The person who possessed Luo Nan's indecent photos must have been someone extremely close to her, at least at that time.
The fact that the photo was leaked at this critical juncture, regardless of the malice behind it, is enough to send chills down one's spine and make one's heart tremble.
"This world is really harsh on girls," Jiang Luo said coldly.
Lin Heng lowered his eyes and sighed.
He didn't want to discuss Luo Nan too much; whether it was sympathy or anger, the goodwill that Luo Nan could personally receive was insignificant. He needed to focus on himself first.
