"Lin Rui, tell me quickly, which beautiful woman came to see you?"
"Are they from our school?"
"Don't be shy, this is such an important life event as finding a partner, you have to treat us!"
As soon as Lin Rui returned to the dormitory, he was immediately questioned by Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin.
"Don't overthink it, it's just a call from a friend."
Lin Rui smiled and shook his head.
This answer clearly did not quell their curiosity.
"friend?"
"Girlfriend?"
"Hehe, judging from your secretive manner, you must be reliable."
"Bring it out sometime, so the brothers can meet it."
Chen Xin had an expression that said, "I understand, don't be shy."
Lin Rui smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
He then bent down and began to organize the clothes in his suitcase.
"Let's go out for dinner together later, it's on me."
"It's been a long time since we got together, we have to have a few drinks."
Zhao Zeyang made the suggestion.
"No problem, I just happened to steal two bottles from my stash at home. Tonight, guys, let's drink as much as we want."
After saying that, Chen Xin took out two bottles of wine from his suitcase.
Goodness, the diopters alone are in the fifties.
"Let's do it another day, I'm going to see a friend later."
Lin Rui changed his outfit.
"Is this the girlfriend who just called you?"
"How about I come with you? I can give you some advice while I'm at it."
"Lin Rui, you lack experience, so I must carefully guide you."
As soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, Zhao Zeyang, who was standing to the side, couldn't resist joining in.
“I’ll go too. When it comes to this kind of thing, two people’s opinions are more reliable.”
"While you're at it, see if your girlfriend has any best friends."
"It'll also be good for socializing and interacting with our dorm."
Zhao Zeyang was getting anxious.
Lin Rui found a girlfriend after just one holiday.
Chen Xin flirted with a female elementary school student online.
Xu Zhe is even more outrageous; he's even flirting with girls overseas!
He's the only one who's unsure of his abilities; that won't do!
Lin Rui said, both amused and exasperated, "I already told you she's not my girlfriend, so don't overthink it."
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang were about to say something more.
Suddenly, Xu Zhe took off his headset.
"Can you two stop bothering Lin Rui all the time?"
"He went out to do serious business, not to pick up girls."
Xu Zhe said in an annoyed tone.
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang looked on with suspicion.
The time we've been apart, all told, hasn't even been two months, right?
But this reunion feels like two or three years have passed.
Everything has changed so much.
Take Xu Zhe for example.
Normally, he either plays video games or flirts with girls.
Now, all of a sudden, he's become ambitious, quit gaming, stopped being so excited, and is now focused on studying diligently.
A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold.
absurd!
As for Lin Rui, he also became mysterious.
Before, my life consisted of going between two points and a straight line.
Aside from classrooms, the cafeteria, and dormitories, there are almost no other outdoor activities.
I don't know a single student from any of the other classes in the entire vocal music department, except for my own class.
Even among my own classmates, I probably wouldn't recognize them all.
That's it.
To put it nicely, he's introverted.
To put it bluntly, he's a loner.
But now, he has made new friends.
When answering the phone, she even knows to avoid being in front of others.
Even more outrageous, they secretly answer a phone call and then have to go out to meet someone!
This kind of thing would be normal for other people.
But when it happened to Lin Rui, it seemed incredibly bizarre.
Chen Xin isn't stupid.
Suddenly, he had an idea and immediately looked at Xu Zhe.
"You just said you wanted to move out and live with your cousin?"
"So, you've signed with Tianrui Entertainment?"
Xu Zhe was taken aback upon hearing this.
"What, didn't I tell you?"
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang stared wide-eyed: "No, you really signed a contract?"
"Signed."
"Holy crap! Xu Zhe, you've really struck gold! Tianrui is now a top company in the industry!"
You have to treat us!
At this point, Chen Xin looked at Lin Rui again: "I guess Lin Rui has also signed with Tianrui, right?"
How did you know?
Before Lin Rui could respond, Xu Zhe couldn't help but speak up.
Having followed Zheng Jing for so long, Xu Zhe was well aware that everyone within Tianrui was keeping Fusheng's true identity a closely guarded secret.
In theory, this open secret is almost impossible to leak.
"Just a guess."
"Something's not right between you two, and your lifestyles have changed."
“Others may not see the problem, but we’ve lived under the same roof for almost two years, so it’s easy for us to feel it.”
Chen Xin adjusted his glasses.
Xu Zhe opened his mouth, wanting to explain.
Chen Xin suddenly waved his hand.
"Forget it, let's not ask about this."
"Lin Rui, if you're busy, go ahead and do your work."
After saying that, Chen Xin added, "If you have the chance, take the two of us to Tianrui for a stroll."
"Throughout the holiday, news about Tianrui never stopped."
"It would be best to meet Teacher Fusheng."
"He's younger than me!"
"That's outrageous!"
"You two spent a holiday in Tianrui, did you see this deity?"
"Forget it, newbies like you who have just entered the industry probably won't get to meet Teacher Fusheng, so asking is pointless."
Xu Zhe opened his mouth, then decisively stopped himself.
After Chen Xin's words, he really didn't dare to object, lest he say the wrong thing.
He thought to himself, "If Chen Xin ever finds out that the teacher you mentioned, Fusheng, is both far away and right in front of me."
Will he end up like him back then, with his eyes practically popping out of their sockets?
"Okay, I'll take you to Tianrui when I have some free time."
"I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Watching Lin Rui's departing figure, a warm smile appeared on Xu Zhe's lips.
Lin Rui's words before leaving sounded like a polite formality at first glance.
But in reality, it was Lin Rui's attitude.
He did not intend to hide his identity from Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang.
This also suggests that Lin Rui would support these two idiots if they wanted to enter the entertainment industry.
This guy hasn't changed; he's still very sentimental.
He then looked at Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang not far away.
Those two guys are still as carefree as ever.
It seems they were just taking Lin Rui's words as a joke.
But you have no idea how much weight those words carry.
In the entertainment industry of Xiazhou, this statement is considered golden!
…
Xiazhou Arts Association.
Secretary Liu arrived on the first floor early to wait.
"Mr. Lin, please come with me."
When Lin Rui appeared on the first floor, Secretary Liu immediately went forward to greet him.
Secretary Liu escorted Lin Rui to the VIP room before taking his leave.
Pushing open the door, Lin Rui entered the VIP room.
Besides Xu Hongzhuo, two elderly men in their sixties were also sitting on the sofa.
Upon seeing Lin Rui, the two old men's eyes lit up.
"This must be Fusheng. He's so rare, so incredibly rare."
"Indeed, he has a commanding presence and is young and promising."
The two old men seemed very excited.
One of the old men quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Rui's hand.
"Fusheng, could you tell this old man what the next line is after 'If Heaven had feelings, Heaven too would grow old'?"
"You've really given the Writers' Association a tough problem."
Lin Rui was somewhat bewildered.
These two old men are way too enthusiastic, even though it's our first time meeting.
The way he looked at her made it seem like he was looking at his own grandson.
Xu Hongzhuo, who was standing to the side, was displeased and patted the empty seat next to him: "Lin Rui, sit next to me and ignore this guy."
"Hey Lao Xu, you're all getting on in years, why do you still act like a woman and get jealous?"
Xu Hongzhuo wasn't buying it at all, and said with a sneer, "Cao Kang, I still remember what happened that night."
"no."
"The two of us together make over a hundred people."
"Are you deliberately bringing up these trivial matters to make us a laughing stock among the younger generation?"
Cao Kang wasn't angry; he turned to look at Lin Rui.
“Fusheng, let’s talk. Don’t pay any attention to this disrespectful old man.”
"He knows nothing about literature."
This scene left Lin Rui both amused and exasperated.
I've heard Xu Hongzhuo mention Cao Kang before; he's the president of the Huazhou Literary Association.
The president of the Xiazhou Arts Association and the president of the Huazhou Literature Association bickered privately, like two old rascals.
There were no outsiders present; if outsiders saw this, they would definitely be shocked.
"Fusheng, tell me quickly, what's the second line?"
Seeing Cao Kang's expectant look, Lin Rui scratched his head: "I haven't thought of anything yet."
Cao Kang observed Lin Rui intently.
Realizing the kid wasn't just trying to make him happy, he could only shake his head and smile wryly.
"If it matches, remember to tell me immediately."
"You have no idea, several old friends have almost gone crazy trying to match this line."
"Some even lock themselves in their study for half a month at a time, losing their appetite and becoming very thin."
"I'm really afraid that if I'm not careful, they'll be sent away by your poem."
Send them away?!
That old geezer is just trying to scare us!
Could something really have happened?
Lin Rui was somewhat bewildered.
I refuse to accept this blame!
