Gu Wan read for a while, then closed the magazine, and then she heard the sound of something being smashed coming from upstairs.
Mother Cen should be arguing with Cen Zhan again at this moment. Mother Cen's condition has been getting worse and worse over the years. She had tried so hard to climb into his bed, but was later kicked out. She was afraid that she would be taken away for an abortion if she told him about her pregnancy, so she was willing to endure the humiliation and raise Cen Zhan alone, hoping that when Cen Zhan grew up and became sensible, he would return to the Cen family and give her a share of the family property.
Cen Zhan hates his mother very much.
Gu Wan listened carefully for a while, and the noise stopped. She opened the door and stood in the dim doorway. Within two minutes, Cen Zhan came down from upstairs.
The two people looked at each other.
Gu Wan pursed her lips, walked over and took his hand, and the two of them sat on the bench below.
Cen Zhan is in a very bad condition.
Gu Wan took out a candy. The original owner had a crush on Cen Zhan since she grew up, but she was afraid that Cen Zhan would find out, so she kept her distance silently. In addition, she became more and more silent after experiencing school bullying. In fact, the two of them had not been together like this for a long time.
"Sweet things will make you feel good."
Cen Zhan didn't want to, but he took it anyway.
Gu Wan looked at the dim street lights, then turned to look at Cen Zhan, reaching out to lift his chin. "Don't move."
Seeing her staring at his face so intently, Cen Zhan unconsciously clenched the candy he had just grabbed. "What's wrong?"
Gu Wan took out a Band-Aid from her pocket. "You're hurt." She blew on it gently before putting it on him. "It's done."
Cen Zhan clenched and unclenched his hands.
Gu Wan didn't say anything else and just accompanied him silently.
The two of them didn't stay long before going home.
When Cen Zhan got home, the house was quiet. He returned to his room and sat at the desk, looking at the candy in his hand. The vague memories of his childhood seemed to come back suddenly.
Gu Wan went home, took a shower and went to bed. Winning the male protagonist's love only accounted for 30% of her mission.
As the days passed, her relationship with Cen Zhan became a little better than before.
Gu Wan's impression on everyone in the class changed very quickly. She was good-looking and good at studying, and these two things had already made many students look down on her.
A month passed quickly. The senior high school students took the college entrance examination, and the sophomores also took their final class placement test.
After finishing the exam, Gu Wan stretched and walked out of the examination room, standing at the corner of the stairs waiting for Cen Zhan.
Cen Zhan saw her as soon as he came out after the exam, "How was it?"
Gu Wan smiled and nodded, "Of course, don't underestimate me."
Cen Zhan seemed to be infected by her emotions, and he raised the corner of his mouth in a rare gesture, "Okay, I'll wait for your good results."
Just as Gu Wan was about to speak, a female classmate who was close to her ran over and said, "Gu Wan, what are you talking about here with your childhood sweetheart?"
Cen Zhan felt quite uncomfortable looking at the way they were looking at him.
Gu Wan glanced at Cen Zhan in panic, then reached out and pulled her classmate, "Hurry and go back."
The exams are over and summer vacation is coming. As high school seniors, they will start school soon, which shortens their summer vacation.
When school started again, Gu Wan squeezed into the crowd to look at the class list posted on the bulletin board, and found her name without a doubt.
Gu Wan happily pointed at her own name and looked back at Cen Zhan.
Cen Zhan is tall and has long legs, so you can see it even if you stand at the outside, but he just didn't say it.
The two people's eyes met in the crowd, and Cen Zhan suddenly realized that he and Gu Wan had known each other for a very long time.
Gu Wan squeezed out of the crowd.
The two of them entered the classroom together.
It was a new school term and Gu Wan didn’t know most of her classmates, so she picked a seat at random, right in front of Cen Zhan.
Gu Wan also has a new deskmate, Zhao Huanhuan.
Zhao Huanhuan had been staring at Gu Wan for a long time. She had just discussed with other classmates that who wouldn't like a female classmate who was both pretty and good at studying.
"Hello, Gu Wan, I'm Zhao Huanhuan."
Gu Wan was not surprised that she knew her. After all, if she could do so well in the exam suddenly, someone would definitely notice her in such a senior year of high school.
"Hello, Gu Wan."
Zhao Huanhuan sat next to Gu Wan, turned sideways, looked at her straight in the eye, and then gave the most straightforward compliment, "You are so beautiful."
Gu Wan accepted the compliment graciously, "Thank you, you too."
Cen Zhan is a quiet person. He has always been the top student in the grade and always sits alone, so no one comes to sit at the same table with him.
But Gu Wan knew that the position belonged to Yu Ranran.
Cen Zhan looked up after hearing their conversation. Gu Wan was very pretty, because he could sense that many people were pretending not to care and observing her.
The course schedule for senior year is quite tight. The first semester is for reviewing the first and second years of high school, and the second half of the semester is for consolidation and improvement.
Next comes the heavy course schedule and homework.
Gu Wan was wearing glasses and was seriously discussing a question with Cen Zhan.
Zhao Huanhuan wanted to listen, but she couldn't understand. She just held her chin and watched the two of them discussing. Gu Wan looked really cold when she was serious at this moment, and Cen Zhan was usually quiet and arrogant.
It seems like they are a perfect match. Their good looks make them look comfortable, and they really study together, so the teachers are not worried.
In the end, the two people discussed and came up with the exact answer.
Gu Wan and Cen Zhan smiled at each other.
Zhao Huanhuan sighed, "I feel like you two really have a kind of soul mate. No wonder you grew up together."
Gu Wan picked up a pen and tapped her head. "You, if you're not good at Chinese, then study hard and don't use idioms carelessly."
Cen Zhan just lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Gu Wan saw it, then turned around and sat back to continue reading, but she was about to leave because the audition for the big director was coming to this city, and Yu Ranran would be here soon.
Yu Ranran used to go to high school abroad, but now she is in her rebellious period and insists on returning to China. Her parents spoil her very much, so she came back and became a transfer student here.
School was over after two classes on Friday afternoon, and Gu Wan and Cen Zhan were still discussing the questions on their way home.
Gu Wan reached around but couldn't find the key.
Cen Zhan was still on the stairs. He looked down at her, seeming a little helpless. "Why don't you come to my house first?"
Gu Wan spread her hands and sighed, "That's all we can do."
Cen Zhan took out the key and prepared to open the door, but Gu Wan seemed to be still looking for her key with her head down, unconvinced.
"Oh, I remember bringing it with me after school."
As Cen Zhan opened the door, he reminded her, "You usually look smart, why is the key..." He stopped talking abruptly.
Gu Wan looked up and saw it but didn't say anything.
Because at this time, in the living room, Mother Cen was with a strange man in disheveled clothes.
Mother Cen hurriedly packed up her clothes, and the man also picked up some of the scattered clothes and turned into the bathroom. He seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the house.
Cen Zhan went in and closed the already dilapidated security door with a bang.
Gu Wan stood outside. She took out the key that she had been unable to find from her bag, then put it away as if nothing had happened. She went downstairs alone and sat on the bench where they had sat last time. After a while, the man also ran out of the tube building in a hurry, with blood all over his forehead.
Gu Wan looked up at the window over there, and sure enough, Cen Zhan came out after a while.
Cen Zhan's eyes were filled with violence, his hands were stained with blood, and there was a new wound on his forehead.
Gu Wan walked up to him, took the initiative to hold his hand, and kept calling his name, "Cen Zhan, Cen Zhan, be good, don't be impulsive."
When Cen Zhan heard Gu Wan's words, he seemed to have regained his soul, and his eyes slowly turned to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan's hand was so painful from his grip, but she still looked at him with concern and determination.
Cen Zhan seemed to slowly relax the strength in his hands.
Gu Wan looked at him, her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes. "Does it hurt?"
Cen Zhan reached out and covered her eyes, "Don't look at me like that."
Gu Wan took him to a small clinic here. The clinic offered low medical treatment prices, so they simply gave him disinfectant, cotton swabs, and Band-Aids. The old man at the clinic didn't want to do anything, so after getting the things for them, he continued watching TV.
Cen Zhan took Gu Wan to his secret base. Over the years, he had quarrels at home almost every week, and would come here by himself when he was in a bad mood.
This is a piece of land waiting to be planned. The trees on it have not been cut down yet. The main thing is that it is not close to the residential area.
"Sit down and I'll give you some medicine."
Cen Zhan didn't say anything and sat obediently beside him.
After Gu Wan applied the medicine to him, she cleaned up the garbage.
Cen Zhan looked at the setting sun and said, "She has always wanted me to find my biological father."
Gu Wan knew that he needed someone to listen to her, so she remained silent.
Cen Zhan continued, "He's very rich, but I don't need it. One day, I will stand before him with my own abilities, instead of begging for mercy like I do now."
He said this with a self-deprecating laugh.
Gu Wan knew what kind of person Cen Zhan was. He was ambitious and ruthless, otherwise he would not have driven out his two half-brothers in just four years after returning to the Cen family, and took sole control of the entire Cen family, becoming the most powerful person at the time.
"No matter what happens in the future, Cen Zhan, I only hope that you can be happy."
When the two of them returned, Cen Zhan was already much better.
Gu Wan stood at the door and waved to him before knocking on the door and asking her grandmother to open it. She went back to her room and sat down to think. She had made the right move today. If she wanted to leave here, she had to take a sufficient dose of medicine.
The next day, Saturday, Gu Wan got up early like every other Saturday and accompanied Shen Xiujuan to clean the house. With her working alone, Shen Xiujuan would not be so tired. She didn't know if this could be considered as taking care of her.
Shen Xiujuan felt that her granddaughter had changed a lot recently. She was still willing to stay with her. Since she started high school, the child has become less talkative and has even less to say to her.
Shen Xiujuan watched her granddaughter working under the scorching sun. She opened her thermos and took a sip of tea. "Wanwan, come and have some tea too. Stop working all the time."
Gu Wan sighed, trotted over, took off her mask, picked up the cup and started drinking in big gulps.
It was a red light and the atmosphere was tense in a low-key luxury car on the road.
"I can't even choose a single person, what a waste." Yu Kunde has traveled to many cities but has not found a suitable actor so far. The time for the filming of this drama is approaching.
The assistant director next to him didn't dare to say a word. In such a hot and humid day, wasn't he also running around with everyone?
Yu Kunde impatiently took off his glasses and looked outside to relax his eyes, then frowned.
The green light also came on.
"parking."
The driver exclaimed, "Director Yu, you can't stop. This is against traffic regulations."
Yu Kunde put on his glasses again, rolled down the car window, and looked over carefully. The girl was very good and fit the bill perfectly.
"Then turn around quickly. I'll find someone."
The driver didn't dare to delay.
When Gu Wan saw the two people in front of her, she guessed instantly that it would be the same as the original plot, where the original owner was accidentally discovered at the school gate.
When Yu Kunde approached and saw Gu Wan, he felt that she was a more suitable person. She was the second female lead he wanted, cold and arrogant. Even when she was standing there in washed-out clothes, she had her own temperament. But no one knew that she was a bad guy at heart. He took out his business card and began to introduce himself.
Gu Wan took it and looked at it. "But I'm in my third year of high school now, so there might not be anything I can do."
It was rare for Yu Kunde to meet such a suitable person, and he didn't want to give up.
"I can hire a tutor for you, how about that?" He looked at Gu Wan again. "Besides, you can make a lot of money filming for TV, at least more than here."
He was full of confidence that the little girl, especially a little girl who was so short of money, would definitely be moved.
Gu Wan knew what he was thinking, so of course she would go.
"Then can I go back and discuss it with grandma?" She seemed a little uncertain.
Yu Kunde was in a good mood.
When Gu Wan returned home, she did explain the situation carefully to her grandmother. Shen Xiujuan was an honest and decent person. If her granddaughter suddenly made a lot of money, her first reaction would definitely be worry.
Shen Xiujuan sat in the living room and sighed softly, "Do you want to go?"
Gu Wan nodded.
Shen Xiujuan sighed and looked at the portrait in the room. "Go if you want to."
Gu Wan calculated that she would be able to get the money after the college entrance examination, and if she went to film, she had to take her grandmother with her to avoid a car accident.
In the evening, Gu Wan called Yu Kunde.
The next day, Sunday, Yu Kunde came directly with the contract. He had been a director for decades and knew that Gu Wan would not be bad, just based on her face, because there were very few natural-looking vases in the entertainment industry.
"The filming will take about half a year and will start in about two months."
Gu Wan read the contract page by page. "Can I get an advance on some of the money? I want my grandma to take care of me."
It shouldn't be like that.
But Yu Kunde was not short of money. "Of course, give me a card number and I'll transfer it to you in a moment."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wan picked up a pen and signed her name.
Yu Kunde smiled with satisfaction, "Little girl, you are very courageous."
Gu Wan was familiar with the plot, so of course she would sign it without hesitation. The key point was that she was very short of money now.
Yu Kunde transferred some money to Gu Wan in the afternoon.
Shen Xiujuan quit her job. She only said that she was not feeling well recently and did not reveal anything about her granddaughter.
Gu Wan was still teaching as usual, but she had to talk to her head teacher about this matter in advance, as the teacher still trusted Gu Wan very much.
"Don't fall behind in your studies. I'll give you a separate exam."
Gu Wan was still very grateful.
It wasn't until a week before leaving that Gu Wan told Cen Zhan.
The weather was getting colder, and Gu Wan put her hands in her pockets.
After hearing this, Cen Zhan didn't say anything, but just had a cold face and quickened his pace.
Gu Wan trotted to catch up with him, "Cen Zhan, you're walking too fast."
Cen Zhan stopped abruptly.
Gu Wan accidentally bumped into his back, her nose aching, "It hurts."
Cen Zhan turned and looked at her, "Gu Wan, you..."
Gu Wan knew he was angry and took the initiative to pull his clothes, "Look, I'm so good-looking, wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't go into acting?"
Cen Zhan didn't say anything else, turned around and went in.
For the rest of the week, Cen Zhan didn't take the initiative to wait for Gu Wan. Sometimes he couldn't figure out what he was so upset about. He had clearly not felt anything when she was bullied before. He was naturally cold-hearted.
Gu Wan packed up the things she was going to take with her. Zhao Huanhuan reached out and hugged Gu Wan, feeling very reluctant to let her go. She said that she was a good student and looked even better, so she should become a big star.
"Then Wanwan, when you become a star, you can come and work for me, okay?"
Gu Wan reached out and took her hand away, "Just study hard."
After Zhao Huanhuan finished speaking, she glanced at Cen Zhan again, "Are you having a fight with the top student?"
Gu Wan turned around and looked at him, "No."
Zhao Huanhuan sighed.
Gu Wan didn't need to bring her usual things for the evening trip as they were all prepared there. The most important things she would bring were books and test papers. Before leaving, she put a bag of candy in Cen Zhan's desk.
Cen Zhan didn't go to see her off. The next day, when he passed by her house during morning self-study, he slowed down for a moment, then strode forward again. It was only when he arrived in the classroom that he noticed the bag of candy.
During the first class, Yu Ranran was brought over by the head teacher.
"This is the new student in our class. He studied abroad before and just returned home. He is not very familiar with everything. Please take good care of him."
Yu Ranran has a braid, irregular bangs, and wears a white coat. She looks enthusiastic and lively.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Ranran."
The head teacher looked at the empty seats in the class and said, "There are three seats. Please choose one."
Yu Ranran took a quick look and walked to Cen Zhan's side with the book in her arms.
Zhao Huanhuan was still immersed in the sadness of Gu Wan's departure, but now she had no time to be sad. She turned around and looked at Yu Ranran.
"He doesn't like sitting with others." She wanted to keep an eye on Cen Zhan for Gu Wan.
Yu Ranran chose this place because of his looks. He was really handsome. It was rare for her to meet someone who was so suitable for her. She put the book on the table and sat down.
"Whether you like it or not, you'll find out when you sit down."
Cen Zhan didn't say anything, didn't even raise his head, just silently looked at the book in his hand.
Zhao Huanhuan was a little angry.
When the get out of class was over, Yu Ranran turned around and looked at Cen Zhan without blinking.
Zhao Huanhuan pouted and turned to look at the two of them angrily, "Cen Zhan, you must remember Gu Wan."
Yu Ranran felt something was amiss, "Who is Gu Wan?"
Zhao Huanhuan felt that she should tell her reluctantly.
"She's just very pretty, very good at studying, and a very nice person. Most importantly, she grew up with Cen Zhan and she used to sit here." After saying that, he patted Gu Wan's seat.
Yu Ranran rolled her eyes and asked, "So, who is prettier, me or her?"
Zhao Huanhuan snorted angrily, "Gu Wan was chosen by the director and has already started filming the movie. Who do you think is good-looking?"
Yu Ranran pursed her lips and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay."
Zhao Huanhuan turned away with satisfaction after seeing that she had finally calmed down for a while.
During the evening study session, the head teacher personally came to Yu Ranran's seat and said, "Cen Zhan, please pay more attention to Yu Ranran. Her foundation is not very good."
Cen Zhan frowned and said, "Teacher, let's find someone else to take care of her. I'm not suitable."
Yu Ranran didn't expect that he would refuse directly.
The teacher didn't force Cen Zhan. After all, they were counting on him to take the top spot in the imperial examination this year. "That's fine, Yu Ranran. I'll arrange another deskmate for you."
Yu Ranran hurriedly shook her head, "No need, I have a tutor at home."
The teacher didn't say anything else and just turned and left.
Yu Ranran looked at Cen Zhan who was still calmly writing the question, and reached out to snatch his pen away. "Cen Zhan, don't you think you were too much just now?"
Cen Zhan looked at her coldly, "Give it to me."
Yu Ranran was about to get angry when she saw his face, but she just sighed, "I'll give it back to you. It's your fault for being so handsome."
Cen Zhan didn't say anything else, but silently lowered his head to write his own topic.
Yu Ranran started to tidy up her desk again, and only then did she notice that there was a bag of candy on Cen Zhan's desk.
"Do you like candy?"
As expected, Cen Zhan did not respond.
Gu Wan set off last night and arrived this afternoon. Judging from the time, Yu Ranran should have arrived as well.
The female lead of Yu Dekun's new drama has been decided long ago, directly by the investors, but he has obtained the right to choose the remaining roles. He is very optimistic about this drama.
It was only when Gu Wan attended the script reading that she found out that she was the second female lead this time. The second female lead was cold, aloof, not good at speaking, and came from a poor family. This youth campus drama tells the story of the heroine's secret love for the hero. The second female lead is the heroine's best friend, and the heroine's family is well-off. Later, the second female lead discovered that the failure of her father's project a few years ago was caused by the heroine's parents.
The second female lead began to seek revenge. She appeared calm on the surface, but used all means behind the scenes.
The male protagonist initially liked the second female lead because of her appearance, but later he was gradually moved by the kind and innocent female lead.
Gu Wan knew it before.
The second female lead has a well-rounded character with personality, and there is a twist later on. In the novel, the second female lead is the most popular character in the end, because after the show became a hit, everyone knew that the female lead was stuffed in by the investors, and everyone's attention was focused on the second and third female leads.
Yu Dekun finally gathered the actors he had in mind and couldn't wait to start filming.
The first scene is the rivalry between the male and female protagonists, and newcomers are always bound to be scolded.
Gu Wan stood aside and watched. She took another look at the script. The actor was called Cen Chao, Cen Zhan's half-brother. Not surprisingly, he also liked the heroine. He was her childhood sweetheart and helped her get a lot of resources.
In the novel, Cen Chao had no interest in the Cen family's property, but he never expected to encounter it so soon.
Soon it was time for Gu Wan's first scene with Cen Chao.
The heroine has been taken aside by her agent and is crying.
Yu Dekun had a bad temper to begin with, but he was still a little surprised by Gu Wan's performance.
The thing that Gu Wan is best at is acting.
This scene was filmed smoothly without any problems.
Yu Dekun exchanged glances with the director next to him and smiled, "If you don't go astray in the future, I can look forward to it."
Gu Wan didn't have an assistant, so she let her grandmother watch TV and rest in the room, and bought her some food.
She sat on a mat with the script in her hand and read the lines.
Cen Chao walked over and handed over a bottle of water.
"Drink water."
