Chapter 201201Early
in the morning of October 15, Jingcheng University was already shrouded in a lively atmosphere, with drums and drums, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people.
The class monitor and the sports committee member took the number cards to be pinned on the chest to the class early in the morning and distributed the number cards to everyone. Then they helped each other one by one or pinned them on their chests.
"Xiang Yu! Is Xiang Yu here?"
"Zhou Jianhui, Zhou Jianhui, your number card!"
"Where is Cui Yujie? Why hasn't Cui Yujie come yet? She is in charge of the girls!" The class monitor looked around the class anxiously to see if Cui Yujie had arrived.
Cui Yujie happened to go downstairs with Liu Yan to have breakfast in the cafeteria.
The two were class leaders and were the first to come down. When they arrived at the cafeteria and didn't see Jiang Wu, Cui Yujie's heart skipped a beat and she felt something was wrong. She thought, Jiang Wu won't go to class...right?
Liu Yan saw her looking around for something and asked her, "What are you looking for?"
Cui Yujie retracted her gaze and said, "I'm looking for Jiang Wu. Why isn't she in the cafeteria?"
"If she's not in the cafeteria, then she must have gone to class, or she must have gone to the May Fourth Stadium. Where else can she go?" Liu Yan said while chewing a steamed bun.
Cui Yujie took the buns and ate them while saying to Liu Yan, "I'll go to the class first."
She had a bad feeling because Jiang Xi rarely went to their class. He basically went to the dormitory, the cafeteria, and the classrooms. His movements were very regular.
She regretted not telling Jiang Xi that she had signed him up for a sport. It was fun to sign up, but it was a disaster afterwards.
If Jiang Xi was Yu Qianqian, she would have said it, but Jiang Xi was different. Although she was a native of Beijing, logically, she should have felt superior in front of Jiang Xi. In fact, she was very domineering behind his back. In the dormitory, no one paid any attention to her except Liu Yan and Yu Qianqian. She couldn't boss anyone around. Jiang Xi had an inexplicable aura that made people afraid. She didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Jiang Xi, let alone boss him around.
As a result, even though she had registered Jiang Xi for the most difficult long-distance running events without her consent, every time she wanted to talk to Jiang Xi about it, she was terrified and didn't dare to say anything. The longer she put it off, the more guilty and scared she felt. She just thought that since her name had been registered, would Jiang Xi dare not go?
She was chewing a bun when she ran to the classroom. As expected, Jiang Xi was not there. She quickly pulled one of the classmates and
said, "Xiang Yu, have you seen Jiang Xi?" Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Xi's name. Then he thought of the non-staff classmate whom he had not seen for a few times. He shook his head and said, "No."
The class monitor saw her and handed her a cloth tag with numbers on it, "These are for girls. You can give them to the girls when the time comes. I have already given a lot of cards to the boys. Ji Shengkang has already gone to the stadium. Are there any others who haven't been there yet? Those who come to get the number plates, you urge them in the back, I will ask a few boys to fetch water, and those who haven't got any to go to the stadium to put them on."
Cui Yujie hurriedly asked the monitor: "Have you seen Jiang Xiu?"
To the classmate who spent most of the time in the class taking sophomore and junior classes and was always missing, the monitor shook his head and said: "Aren't you in charge of the girls? By the way, I remember that she seemed to be your roommate? Don't you go together in the morning?"
Cui Yujie stamped her feet anxiously: "She runs every morning, and she disappears after running."
"Then she must have gone to the stadium, right? Don't worry, Ji Shengkang is at the stadium, I will notify her when I see her." The monitor was very steady in doing things, giving people an unhurried and confident look, and was very calm.
He had no idea that Cui Yujie had secretly signed up for Jiang Xi, but she didn't have the courage to say it, so Jiang Xi still didn't know that she was signed up, and everyone else assumed that Jiang Xi signed up by herself.
Cui Yujie wiped the sweat off her forehead and couldn't help complaining, "I don't know where he went so early in the morning!"
She was just looking forward to seeing Jiang Xi on the playground.
When most of the classmates had arrived, she had distributed most of the number cards in her hand, and kept notifying the classmates to gather at the May Fourth Playground, and she ran to the May Fourth Playground herself.
The playground was very large, with red flags and banners representing the departments all around, and people everywhere.
Cui Yujie and the others had all arrived early to confirm the locations of their departments and classes. When they arrived at the playground, they hurried to their classes and asked the sports committee member: "Ji Shengkang, have you seen Jiang Xu?"
Today is the busiest day for the sports committee member, because many competitions are being held simultaneously in different venues. He has been confirming and coordinating this matter to ensure that every student can find his or her position in time and go to the competition.
Hearing Cui Yujie's question, she looked up and said, "I didn't see her. What happened?"
Cui Yujie said anxiously, "Jiang Liu has two competitions today. The first one in the morning is a 3,000-meter long-distance race. I haven't seen her until now. She is not in the cafeteria or in class!"
The sports committee member would never have thought that Jiang Liu was registered without their knowledge, and said, "She must be in school. Go to the rostrum and shout twice with a loudspeaker, and she will come."
In their normal thinking, a school sports meet is such a big event that everyone participates. They are either in the stadium or on the way to the stadium. Even the most studious students are athletes today.
Cui Yujie hurried to the radio station next to the rostrum and said to the announcer sitting in front of the microphone, "Can I borrow your microphone?" Without waiting for the announcer's consent, she walked over, held the small microphone to her mouth, and shouted, "Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi from the School of Mathematics, please come to the rostrum of the May Fourth Stadium. There is a project for you this morning. Please come to the rostrum immediately!"
At this moment, she finally had nothing to say. She was afraid that Jiang Xi couldn't hear her, so she said it three times in a row, and then sat on the rostrum with her arms folded, waiting for Jiang Xi, her face as gloomy as water.
Her skin was slightly yellow, her lips were darker, and her appearance was relatively dull. At this time, few students put on makeup, so when she was angry, her face looked very dark and heavy, and she had a low pressure of "I'm very angry, don't mess with me" all over her body.
Now, her anger had replaced her fear of Jiang Xi signing her up without her consent, and she even felt that it was her right. The sports meet was a collective activity, an activity to bring honor to the class and the department. What was wrong with her signing her up? Since she had signed up, she had to participate!
She was about 165 cm tall and extremely thin, similar to Jiang Xi in her previous life, with long arms and legs. To be fair, she also signed herself up for the 200-meter sprint.
She just kept waiting at the rostrum for half an hour, but Jiang Xiao didn't show up. She was originally angry, but now she became anxious again. She borrowed the announcer's microphone and shouted three times, fearing that Jiang Xiao had gone to the department gathering place and not come to the rostrum. She said to the announcer next to the rostrum: "I'll go to our class and see. If Jiang Xiao comes to the rostrum, tell her not to leave and wait for me here." Without waiting for the announcer's response, she assumed that she had agreed and ran away.
When they ran to where their class was, the monitor also brought water with the boys in the class, as well as an emergency medical kit, which contained some commonly used Band-Aids, iodine, gauze, white medicine, etc.
When they saw the monitor, Cui Yujie asked again: "Monitor, have you seen Jiang Xi?"
The monitor had just heard Cui Yujie's voice on the radio, and frowned and said: "Isn't she here yet?"
"No, I looked everywhere for her, but where is she? The sports meet is such a big event, and she is not in the stadium, why is she running around!" Cui Yujie was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Jiang Xi, who was told by Cui Yujie to run around, was taken to a clothing store by the producer of the "White Snake" crew, and asked several people to choose and try on suits and dresses.
Because of the arrival of the Wanhua Film Festival, the styling studios have been very busy these days, with people coming to rent dresses and do costume styling. The styling studio that the producer of the "White Snake" crew brought them to is a very fashionable studio in this era. The owner of the studio is a returned overseas student. The shop is filled with rows of luxury dresses from foreign big brands, both men's and women's. There is also a special styling team to style the actors who need it.
This is still an emerging industry in the mainland that has just emerged a few years ago.
The owner of the studio is a woman in her thirties, but the stylist who does the costume styling for Jiang Xi and others is not, but a young man in his twenties, dressed very fashionably and coquettishly.
The moment they entered the room, the stylist, who was dressed very fashionably and coquettishly, saw Jiang Bai at a glance, and hurriedly walked in front of Jiang Bai, looked him up and down, clapped his hands, and smiled coquettishly: "Ming Yue~~"
Jiang Bai laughed so hard that his hand was held, stiffly pulled by the young stylist with nowhere to hide. The stylist's eyes turned to Tong Jingang and Jiang Xi, and his eyes were locked on Jiang Xi at once: "You are..." He thought it was the female lead at first glance, and suddenly thought, didn't the female lead decide on the dress and style here a long time ago, and tried on the clothes?
But it didn't matter, he quickly let go of Jiang Bai's hand, walked over to look at Jiang Xi, and then took Jiang Xi to the rows of clothes, took out the clothes one by one and gestured to her.
Because Jiang Wei was too young, he first took out a shiny pink halter dress. The upper part was wrapped tightly around the body, pinching the waistline, and the lower part was a fluffy and shiny floor-length skirt.
After gesturing for a while, the stylist clapped her hands in surprise and said, "It looks good, it looks really good!" Then she urged Jiang Xi to go into the fitting room to change clothes: "Go in and try it on!" She also said to a young girl standing by, "Go in and help me."
In her previous life, Jiang Xi lived a very simple life before she started working. It was not because she wanted to be simple, but because she had no money. Even if she had royalties from writing, it was not like this life, with sales of hundreds of millions or tens of millions. At that time, she had a book of 200,000 words, and a 7% royalty. If the first print run was 20,000 copies, it would only be more than 20,000 yuan. After deducting tuition, living expenses, and the money she sent to Grandpa Jiang, she didn't have much left.
After work, they have requirements for their daily dress and clothing. Various jewelry can only be worn after work. During work, it is better to be dignified and elegant.
Therefore, Jiang Ning had never worn such gorgeous and exquisite clothing in her previous life. She had never tried it before, so she couldn't help but try it with interest.
As soon as Jiang Ning entered, the stylist's eyes fell on Jiang Bai again, looking him up and down, from his face, hairstyle, temperament, to height and figure.
After nearly three years of insisting on walking and doing things with his head upright, his shoulders open, and his posture upright, his body has now formed the habit of keeping it upright anytime and anywhere. He does not need to deliberately open his shoulders, but still has a posture as upright as a poplar. In addition, he has always paid attention to the management and exercise of his figure. His muscles are tight, and he really looks slim when dressed and has a fleshy clothes rack when undressed.
The stylist also reached out to squeeze the muscles on Jiang Bai's arms and touched his abdominal muscles twice. Jiang Bai's face suddenly turned red and he took a step back.
The stylist took him to a row of suits covered in transparent plastic bags, took out a white suit and a dark suit, and put them on Jiang Bo, and then found a white shirt that was ironed without a wrinkle, and asked Jiang Bo to change into it
. The white shirt was obviously new, and it looked very high-end here, and the clothes were very expensive. Jiang Bo was afraid that he would not be able to afford the cost if he got his clothes dirty, so he did not want to change.
The producer smiled and said, "Go and change. You can't afford the suit, but you can still afford a shirt. Just be careful."
It was also Tong Jingang's first time to come to such a place. He was really amazed and asked curiously, "Is it expensive?"
The producer smiled and said, "Probably if you add up all the publicity expenses for this trip, it would barely be enough to pay for a suit."
Jiang Bai almost threw away the suit in his hand after hearing this. He would never wear such expensive clothes.
Seeing that he was not pretending but really didn't want to wear it, the stylist reluctantly took Jiang Bai to a smaller room at the back, where there were also suits carefully wrapped in transparent plastic bags. He said, "These are old styles from a few years ago. Some have been rented out, but they are all well taken care of."
He found two suits and handed them to Jiang Bai, "Little brother, wear them with confidence."
For some reason, Jiang Bai felt that he was being teased and felt uncomfortable.
Tong Jingang also shuddered and went over to ask him what he wanted to wear.
The stylist took one look at his tall and muscular figure and the knotty muscles on his body and said, "Wear whichever outfit you can fit into!" The
producer, Director Yu, and the main actor Fahai and others came early in the 11th period to confirm the costumes and styling, and had already rented the costumes and taken them away. This time they came mainly to take Jiang Bai, Tong Jingang, and Jiang Xi to do the styling.
Mainly Tong Jingang.
But after all, Ying Meng also has her own traffic, and this time "White Snake" really made a lot of money, but the original author Ying Meng herself did not make much. Although she gave Jiang Wu a red envelope of 50,000 yuan before, as far as they know, the producer of "Party A and Party B" gave the original novel author a red envelope of 100,000 yuan after the box office exceeded 30 million, but was blocked by the original novel author and never contacted each other again.
If they want to cooperate with Teacher Ying Meng in the future, they will naturally support her well, and they will not care about the money for renting dresses and styling.
Jiang Xi didn't care whether she walked the red carpet or not. She thought it was good to experience and participate in this. If she wrote about similar plots in her works in the future, it wouldn't be groundless. Writing about what she had experienced and not having experienced it felt completely different.
Soon, Jiang Xi changed her clothes inside. She didn't take off her pants, but wore them under her skirt. She only took off her top.
But this dress is too tight. Even though Jiang Gui is already thin enough, she has gained some weight in the past two years. The most obvious part is her chest. In her previous life, she had a pair of A cups, but in this life, because she had taken in enough nutrients during her growth and development period, her breasts have grown full and tight. As a result, after she put on this dress, after she pulled the zipper at the back to the top, she could not pull it up to the corresponding part in front of her chest.
The young girl who came with her before stood at the door of the fitting room. Seeing that she didn't come out, she asked her softly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Xi said, "The clothes are too small and the zipper can't be pulled up. Can you change me into a bigger one?"
The young girl's voice was very gentle and pleasant, "Can I come in and take a look?"
The fitting room had a curtain. After Jiang Xi nodded in agreement, she lifted the curtain and walked in. She walked behind Jiang Xi and pulled the zipper on both sides of her back to the middle. With her other hand, she pulled up the small zipper head and the zipper was pulled up.
The girl smiled softly and said, "Look, it fits me well!"
She stood beside Jiang Xi and looked at the person in the mirror with Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi had been out doing disaster relief work for the entire six, seven, and eight months. Even though she wore a hat during the hottest days of summer, her face was inevitably sunburned. Even though her skin had recovered after more than a month of rest, the skin below her neck was still as white and smooth as pearls compared to the skin on her body.
The three siblings in their family were born with fair skin. Even Jiang's father and mother, who worked on construction sites all year round, still had normal skin color when they came back. When Jiang's mother dressed up a little, she looked much better than her peers.
Jiang Xi was completely bare-faced at this time. She only applied sunscreen and basic moisturizing skincare on her face, but she still didn't look overwhelmed by the gorgeous dress. On the contrary, it felt like the pink dress couldn't suppress her aura.
The stylist originally saw that she looked only 17 or 18 years old, very young, so she chose a girlish pink for her.
The two thin pink straps hung on both ends of her snow-white and slender collarbone, adding a bit of girlish cuteness to her, pure and charming.
If you don't look at Jiang Xi's calm and indifferent eyes, she is indeed very sweet and beautiful.
The girl next to her looked at Jiang Wu in the mirror, who was wearing a sparkling dress.
She couldn't help but look at the mirror with admiration, unable to move her eyes away: "So beautiful!" She couldn't help but move her eyes from the mirror to Jiang Wu's face, wanting to see if she was really as beautiful as in the mirror. She didn't expect that such a close face-to-face encounter would be even more shocking.
Unlike Jiang Bai, who still had some light freckles on his cheeks, Jiang Wu's face was smooth, white and flawless, with not even a tiny mole visible. She had a pair of bright, slightly double-eyelid Ruifeng eyes, and her long, thick eyelashes covered her slightly sharp eyelids, casting a fan-shaped shadow under her eyes.
The bridge of his nose was high and straight, his lips were a light pink without makeup, a bit like a rose in spring, his chin was small and delicate, and there was not a single flaw.
She was stunned until Jiang Xi looked at her with a puzzled look, which made her heart skip a beat, and she hurriedly said, "Let's go out and let ALEX take a look!"
ALEX was the English name of the stylist who chose the dresses for Jiang Xi and the others. It is very popular to give yourself an English name now. This stylist also studied abroad and majored in clothing styling. When he came back, he always asked people to call him by his English name.
As soon as Jiang Xi came out of the fitting room, the eyes of the people sitting on the sofa lit up. ALEX even shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh my God! Is this a fairy from somewhere? How can she be so beautiful? This dress suits you so well, right? It turns out that my taste is the best!"
He walked straight towards Jiang Xi and stopped more than one meter in front of Jiang Xi, with his hands clenched into fists and placed at his chin as if in exclamation.
Everyone in the styling room in the studio was looking at Jiang Xi in amazement. Song Peifeng had always known that Jiang Xi was extremely beautiful, but he didn't expect that she would be so radiant when she was dressed up, which was completely different from her usual appearance.
Jiang Xi wore a skirt that seemed a bit too cool for this era, but she was not shy at all. Instead, she held the hem of her dress openly. The young girl behind her also helped her hold the hem of her dress. Standing in front of the oversized mirror, Jiang Xi admired the girl in the mirror.
Indeed, she was so beautiful.
She was so beautiful, but she had never appreciated herself properly in her previous life.
The people who were sitting on the sofa, waiting for them to change into their dresses and styled themselves, all stood up and surrounded Jiang Xi, admiring her beauty.
Director Yu said, "It would be a waste if this face doesn't go into the film industry to make movies. She is truly a natural movie face. How many people want such a face but can't get it. I have invited this little girl to play the White Snake many times, but she refused to come." He said to Jiang Xi, "I heard that Lao Zhang also invited you to play the female lead in your drama "The King's Guards", but you didn't go."
Jiang Xi looked at Director Yu with a smile and said, "This is not the path I will take in the future. Director Yu, there is no need to persuade me anymore." She then said to the stylist, "It looks good, but it's still too cool to wear this in Beijing in mid-October. In order to avoid catching a cold, I'd rather do the same as them..." She pointed at Tong Jingang and Jiang Bai who had come out and said, "Pick a suit for me."
The stylist couldn't believe it. Jiang Xi didn't choose this dress, but a suit?
"NO~~~!" Stylist ALEX refused and asked her to look at the mirror: "How suitable, how perfect!"
"Perfect, but cold!"
Compared to beauty, she chose to keep warm, "Besides, I'm not an actor in "White Snake". There's no need to steal the spotlight.
Although she didn't finish her words, the smart people present understood her implication.
Indeed, when Jiang Xi wore this outfit, she directly overshadowed the female lead of their "White Snake" crew. They even reported the "Best Actress" award to the female lead.
The stylist had no choice but to re-select a suit for Jiang Xi. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xi still looked very good in the changed style. The stylist was like picking up a perfect dress-up doll. He wished he could give Jiang Xi all the dresses he thought were suitable.
Unfortunately, she is only a supporting role tomorrow, not the main character.
After Cui Yujie called Jiang Wu many times and asked people to look for her in the classroom and dormitory but couldn't find her, she finally realized that things had gotten out of hand.
Who would have thought that Jiang Wu would not be in school for such a big event as the Beijing University Sports Meet? As long as Jiang Wu was in school, even if she didn't want to run, she would have to run because there were counselors and so many classmates there. Even for the honor of the department, she had to run whether she wanted to or not, but Jiang Wu was not there!
Her first reaction was that Jiang Wu knew about this and was deliberately not in school today. She was so angry that she wanted to cry.
The 3,000-meter long-distance race was at 9:30 this morning, and some other competitions had already started, but Jiang Wu was still not there.
Even the class monitor and the sports committee member noticed something was wrong. They came over to ask Cui Yujie, "Have you found Jiang Gu? The 3,000-meter race is about to start, why hasn't she come yet?"
Cui Yujie said angrily with a dark face, "How should I know? Her legs are not attached to my body, how would I know where she is?"
The monitor frowned and said, "Although Jiang Wu and I don't have much contact, she doesn't seem to be such an irresponsible person. What's going on?"
Cui Yujie hesitated and was speechless.
Those who can be admitted to Peking University may lack emotional intelligence, but they are not lacking in IQ.
The monitor saw Cui Yujie's reaction and immediately realized that there might be a problem. At this time, he did not get to the bottom of it, but tried to find a way to remedy it. He said, "It's too late to say these now. The competition will start soon. Let's think about what to do first." The monitor took two steps anxiously and said, "The skylight must not be opened. Now we can only find someone to replace Jiang Wu to run the 3,000 meters that is about to start."
Cui Yujie said anxiously: "Who are you looking for?" She suddenly saw Yu Qianqian not far away and shouted, "Qianqian! Come here!"
Yu Qianqian knew something was wrong when she saw her expression, and she covered her stomach and said, "Oh, I need to go to the toilet, Zhang Min, do you have toilet paper?"
Zhang Min was very smart and immediately said, "Go quickly, I'll bring you toilet paper."
Then the two girls ran to the toilet very fast.
Cui Yujie's face turned black.
Ji Shengkang, the sports committee member, also noticed that the cat was getting tired of running. He frowned and said impatiently, "Okay, Yu Qianqian still has 1,500 meters to run. It's not appropriate for her to run." He looked up and down at Cui Yujie, who was 1.65 meters tall, with long arms and legs and a thin figure, and said, "I remember that you only have a 200-meter sprint tomorrow. Jiang Xi is not here, so you can take over her 3,000 meters first."
