Zhu Jinchao suddenly sat up in bed, her drowsiness instantly gone. Although she found Lu Yuzhou's behavior inexplicable, she still asked him, trying to be polite.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly saying things like that to me?"
—I didn't make things difficult for Mingyue. Mingyue is your good friend, how could I bear to make things difficult for her?
Loading: You know in your heart whether you've made things difficult for yourself.
Zhu Jinchao frowned, completely bewildered by Lu Yuzhou's rambling.
"What... Did your brain get filled with shit at night?"
—Brother, what should I understand? I don't understand what you're saying.
Loading: Ha, don't play dumb with me.
"Hmm?" Zhu Jinzhao's brows furrowed into a tight knot, and the fog in her mind grew thicker and thicker.
She opened the chat box, wanting to ask Lu Yuzhou how she had pretended to be stupid, but before she could finish typing, Lu Yuzhou's explosive message popped up quickly.
—Today, we've been together for three years, and I never realized you were such a jealous and narrow-minded person.
Mingyue is an excellent girl. She is generous, kind, academically gifted, and of good character. Since you live under the same roof as her, you should learn from her.
Today marks three years since we got together. In these three years, I have been constantly improving and changing, but what about you? You have remained stagnant. Unlike Mingyue, who is always thinking about how to improve herself.
—If you continue to act so unreasonably, don't blame me for choosing someone better.
"..."
May today's silence be deafening.
She held her phone in both hands, at a loss for words when faced with the message from Lu Yuzhou.
Good heavens, is this thing even human?
After repeatedly reading these four "sobering quotes," Zhu Jinzhao's brain had been shut down for a long time before he barely managed to regain some of his language function.
—Brother, you're abandoning me, aren't you...? [Emoji: Er Kang reaching out]
...
Lu Yuzhou did not reply.
Zhu Jinchao sent several more short apology messages, but unsurprisingly, Lu Yuzhou didn't reply to any of them.
Having figured he'd had enough of the act, Zhu Jinzhao decisively turned off his phone, too lazy to waste any more words with this guy who was just trying to get things done.
...
Whether it was because Lu Yuzhou himself was provoked, or because Zhu Mingyue complained to him about something, in any case, starting that night, Lu Yuzhou began to use his signature passive-aggressive tactics on Zhu Jinzhao.
He stopped replying to Zhu Jinzhao's WeChat messages and stopped trying to make money from him indirectly. Sometimes when he ran into Zhu Jinzhao at school, he would treat him like a stranger, neither giving him a glance nor saying hello.
"Chaochao, did you and Lu Yuzhou have another fight?"
Looking at Lu Yuzhou's indifferent back, Jiang Jingwen nudged Zhu Jinzhao's arm and asked with a hint of gossip.
"Hmph." Zhu Jinzhao sneered, "When have I ever made up with him?"
Jiang Jingwen: "Weren't you still licking his boots a few days ago? Even though he wasn't going on dates with you, at least he was still paying attention to you. Unlike now, he clearly saw you but didn't even say a word to you."
“Sigh…” Zhu Jinzhao sighed, “I wasn’t just licking his boots a few days ago, I’ve been licking his boots all along. I’ve spent money and time on it, I’ve practically made him feel like the moon, but it still can’t stop him from getting angry with me.”
"Why is he angry with you?" Jiang Jingwen didn't understand. "You're so easy to bully, why is he acting like this?"
Zhu Jinzhao shook her head: "I don't know. He won't answer my calls or reply to my messages. He's just giving me the silent treatment again."
"Damn it!" Jiang Jingwen clenched her fist and cursed angrily, "Has he lost his mind?"
Lu Yuzhou, who had been pecked by a chicken, ignored Zhu Jinzhao, but fawned over Zhu Mingyue to the extreme.
With the midterm exams approaching, Zhu Mingyue, a newly transferred student, still feels nervous and stressed despite her good grades.
To relieve her stress, Lu Yuzhou specially prepared a set of review materials for her. Zhu Jinzhao had asked him for these materials before, but he made excuses to refuse because he thought it was too much trouble to organize them.
Now, in order to win Zhu Mingyue's favor, he is willing to stay up several sleepless nights to get the materials ready before the exam.
"Mingyue, where are you? I've finished organizing the documents, I'll send them to you now."
He sent Zhu Mingyue a voice message and stood downstairs in the teaching building waiting for her reply.
But Zhu Mingyue ignored him for a long time.
He opened WeChat and sent another message: "Mingyue? Are you busy? Would it be convenient for you to come out and see me?"
"..."
Zhu Mingyue still hasn't replied.
Lu Yuzhou, impatient to wait any longer, took the documents and went to the library.
Zhu Mingyue liked to spend her free time studying in the library when she didn't have classes. Since Lu Yuzhou couldn't find her, he decided to go and try his luck.
He was quite lucky; he saw Zhu Mingyue hiding in a corner making a phone call as soon as he reached the library entrance.
He smiled faintly and deliberately moved closer to Zhu Mingyue with quieter steps.
"Chaochao wasn't joking; I really do want to enter the entertainment industry."
"Brother, I didn't do this on a whim. I've really thought it through."
“When I was little, I always dreamed of becoming an actor and a star. After I finished the college entrance examination, I even thought about applying to the film academy. But because my family didn’t have money, I had to give up these ideas.”
"Brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I really don't want to miss it."
"I don't regret it, I'm determined to enter the entertainment industry."
It was Thursday, and most students didn't have classes in the morning. It was a bit noisy outside the library, and Lu Yuzhou didn't hear everything Zhu Mingyue said, but that didn't stop him from knowing that Zhu Mingyue was going to enter the entertainment industry.
"Okay, then Chaochao and I will go together. Thank you, big brother."
Zhu Mingyue had just hung up the phone and was about to catch her breath when she turned around and saw Lu Yuzhou standing behind her with a shocked expression.
Her expression changed slightly, and she looked somewhat displeased: "Senior Lu, when did you get here?"
Lu Yuzhou stared at her in astonishment, then took two quick steps forward: "Mingyue, you...you're going to enter the entertainment industry?"
Zhu Mingyue frowned tightly, visibly getting angry: "You heard everything?"
Lu Yuzhou didn't answer, but instead pressed on with the question: "Mingyue, are you going to enter the entertainment industry?"
"Hmm." Zhu Mingyue's voice was cold, but she didn't lie to him. "I really am going to enter the entertainment industry, and I hope Senior Lu will keep it a secret for me."
"..." Lu Yuzhou stared wide-eyed in shock, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth suddenly began to twitch strangely.
"Okay, okay... I'll definitely keep it a secret for you." He smiled brightly, looking even more excited than Zhu Mingyue, the person involved.
"Mingyue, this is the review material I've compiled for you. This will be enough for you to pass the exam." He handed the materials to Zhu Mingyue as if presenting a treasure.
Zhu Mingyue reached out and took it, saying politely yet distantly, "Thank you."
Lu Yuzhou: "You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Zhu Mingyue is actually going to become a star in the entertainment industry... His eyes darted around, his mind filled with this thought.
Being a celebrity is great! Celebrities have money and fame. Zhu Mingyue is already a rich heiress. If she can become famous in the entertainment industry, wouldn't she have more money in her pocket than she could ever spend in her lifetime?
As the boyfriend of a big star, he can enjoy endless wealth and luxury for the rest of his life without having to work hard!
No, he can't delay. He has to win her over before Zhu Mingyue debuts!
