Chapter 2 The sugar daddy is a man (Bonus Chapter)
The girl on the bed turned over, opened her eyes in the darkness, and quietly sorted through the information she had just received.
Lu Yan, being a twin, was born prematurely and had a difficult labor, making the delivery process extremely dangerous, and Lu's mother even fell into a coma at one point.
The hospital was in chaos, and an inexperienced nurse accidentally mixed up the firstborn baby with another baby boy.
Lu Yan was switched at birth, and the baby boy who was switched with him died young due to congenital defects.
Lu Yan's adoptive mother also passed away early, and he was raised by his grandmother until he was recognized by the Lu family when he was a senior in college.
And fate is so magical. Because of the flapping of Su Yuqing's wings, the two people, Ling Wei and Lu Yan, who had no connection before, were also brought together.
Ling Wei, who had just started college, was facing her family's investment failure and bankruptcy liquidation, and her mother also fell ill due to stress.
In her original life trajectory, this girl would have become an overnight sensation because of a film directed by a foreign director, and would soon no longer have to worry about money.
But Su Yuqing took away this crucial opportunity, and Ling Wei had no choice but to work hard to earn money in order to pay for her medical expenses.
So, while working, she was harassed by a group of thugs. Because of her resemblance to Su Yuqing, she was rescued by Lu Yan, who happened to be passing by.
The shared experience of struggling with medical expenses resonated deeply with Lu Yan, and coupled with that similar face... Lu Yan stepped in to help Ling Wei pay her mother's medical bills.
Ling Wei wanted to write an IOU, but Lu Yan refused, only making one request: that Ling Wei pretend to be his girlfriend during this period in order to deal with a possible arranged marriage by his family.
The system was a little worried: "This timing is too unfortunate; the opportunity has already been seized."
In terms of career, she is now completely blocked, as her opponent is a complete copy of Ling Wei.
After filming this scene abroad, regardless of whether she becomes an overnight sensation like Ling Wei before her, Su Yuqing's resume will always have this outstanding achievement.
She will always be known as Senior Ling Wei.
With her precedent, it's perfectly normal for Ling Wei to be compared to others when she enters the entertainment industry, or even to be used as a stand-in.
Just like Su Yuqing before her "rebirth," the entertainment industry is just that realistic and cruel.
Needless to say, in terms of relationships, a timely act of kindness is also accompanied by a sense of gratitude...
The system is a bit worried.
Why are they only arriving now?!
Why didn't you do it sooner!
Ling Wei: "It's not too late," she searched her mind for relevant information and smiled, "In fact... it's just right."
The system got excited. "Weiwei, what's next?"
Without hesitation, the girl on the bed rolled over again, finding a more comfortable position, and closed her eyes.
"sleep."
System: (;′Д`)……Okay, no problem, health is the foundation of everything.
The alarm clock rang on time the next day.
A pair of slender, fair hands reached out from under the covers and precisely turned off the alarm clock.
The girl sat up, her slightly frizzy hair causing her to look around.
It's the beginning of her sophomore year. The dorms at the Beijing Film Academy are two-person rooms. The bed next to hers is still the same as yesterday, neat and clean, with no signs of anyone having returned. She's the only one in the dorm.
She got out of bed briskly to wash up, and looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, which was without makeup but still lovely, with a determined look in her eyes.
After changing her clothes, she slung her slightly faded canvas bag over her shoulder and went out.
Upon arriving at her destination, Ling Wei met the teacher in charge whom she wanted to see. After a sincere and well-organized conversation, she politely said goodbye.
When Ling Wei returned to the lush, tree-lined avenue of the campus, the system, which had witnessed the entire event, exclaimed in shock: "You want to change your major? You just submitted an application to change your major?!"
What Ling Wei just did was submit an application to the teacher in charge of student affairs to transfer from the acting department to the directing department.
Her grades in her freshman year were in the top 5% of her class, which fully met the requirements for changing majors. All she needed to do was pass the professional interview for the directing department.
"You're not going to be an actor anymore?!?" The system exclaimed incredulously.
It's not surprising that the system was so shocked, after all, according to the timeline it described, the original owner, Ling Wei, had a smooth and successful acting career and was well-suited to be an actress.
Based on the system's understanding of Ling Wei, she might not lose even if she faced off against Su Yuqing head-on. Therefore, the system spent the night compiling information on some suitable film crews for Ling Wei to audition for, intending to act as an ally at any time.
Unexpectedly, Ling Wei flipped the table and changed the track.
...
It can only be said that sometimes, things really cannot be judged by appearances alone.
Just like when they first arrived, Ling Wei, who seemed to be writing a long essay trying to persuade them to stay, was actually cursing their ancestors for eighteen generations.
Now, Ling Wei, who was originally destined to become an actress in the original timeline, is a performing arts student, but she doesn't necessarily want to pursue that path.
Originally, she truly aspired to be a director, but due to a family crisis, she couldn't support her precarious family as a director. Only by becoming an actress could she quickly earn enough money to solve her immediate financial problems.
Therefore, if Su Yuqing hadn't interfered, she would definitely have chosen the path of an actress, for the sake of responsibility and survival.
Now, thanks to Su Yuqing's intervention, Lu Yan's appearance has solved her debt crisis, and she is finally able to unload her burdens and pursue what she truly desires.
Become a creator, not just a performer defined by creators.
The timing of each mission teleportation is chosen by Heaven, and Heaven has its own profound meaning.
Ling Wei looked up at the sunlight filtering through the leaves, feeling the gentle breeze on her face, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.
Thank you.
Thank you for this unexpected turn of events, which gave me the opportunity to make my own choice.
Over the next few days, Ling Wei immersed herself in the library, eagerly absorbing knowledge about the directing major.
System: ...Okay, it's definitely the familiar King of Roll flavor.
When Lu Yan's phone rang again, Ling Wei finally looked up from her sea of knowledge and suddenly remembered the dinner they had agreed to meet a week ago.
At that time, she was still sitting by the window in the library, with a thick book on film language and grammar spread out in front of her.
When Lu Yan called her, she told him her location truthfully, intending to ask him to wait for her while she packed her things and went out immediately.
To everyone's surprise, the other party simply said, "Wait for me there," and then hung up.
Ling Wei stood at the library entrance, carrying her somewhat worn canvas bag, waiting.
The Beijing Film Academy usually doesn't allow outside vehicles to enter, but it's unexpected that Lu Yan, at such a young age, already has the privilege that the school can make an exception for.
As she was thinking this, her phone screen lit up, displaying a concise message from Lu Yan: "[I've arrived]".
Ling Wei looked around but didn't see any vehicles.
It wasn't until she heard two short "beep" sounds from the side that she noticed a seemingly ordinary electric scooter parked not far below the library steps.
She squinted to adjust her eyes to the light and recognized the person in the car as her "sugar daddy," Lu Yan.
