"What kind of outfit is this? Why are you all dressed like thieves?"
Holy crap!
"A ghost!"
Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin practically shouted themselves hoarse.
The two were initially focused on the main entrance, but after a while they inevitably became less attentive and each took out their phones to play with them. They would only look up a few times when they heard footsteps.
Neither of them expected that someone would appear silently behind them and speak in a sinister tone.
"Lin Rui!"
"Damn, are you a ghost? You walk without making a sound?"
Looking at his phone, which had slipped and fallen to the ground, especially with the prominent spiderweb-like cracks on the screen, Chen Xin looked pained: "I just replaced the tempered glass screen protector yesterday, and now I'm doomed."
"That's right, Lin Rui. This kind of person can really scare people away. Next time, walk with a little more noise."
Although the phone didn't fall to the ground, Zhao Zeyang was still clutching his chest, his heart heaving violently, looking like he was still shaken.
"It's because you guys are too focused on your phones."
"Alright, stop joking around. Tell me, why aren't you two in your dorm chatting up girls and playing games? What are you doing here so late at night?"
Lin Rui looked at the two troublemakers with annoyance, finding it quite amusing.
Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, their faces breaking into awkward smiles, and the atmosphere became somewhat uncomfortable.
"What's going on with you two? I'm asking you a question, why are you acting like you're still unmarried virgins?"
Two grown men, both perfectly normal and proper, were acting like shy, effeminate girls. Lin Rui almost turned around and left.
It's only been a short time since we last met, and these two have changed so much he almost doesn't recognize them anymore. It's outrageous!
"Never mind, I'll explain it."
Chen Xin also felt that this awkward and hesitant posture was indeed unseemly, and his old face turned red as he said, "It's just that I bragged about it, and now I'm busy trying to make amends."
Zhao Zeyang nodded vigorously beside him: "It's all Xu Zhe's fault. We can't get through to him on his phone, he doesn't reply to messages, and we can't find him anywhere."
Can't get through on the phone?
Is that true?
Lin Rui suspiciously took out his phone and casually dialed Xu Zhe's number.
In less than three seconds, the call was connected. Because it was on speakerphone, Xu Zhe's voice came directly into Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang's ears.
"Lin Rui, is it urgent? Should we go to your office now?"
Before Lin Rui could speak, Chen Xin couldn't help but chime in.
"You, Xu Zhe, I've been calling you for days, and you not only don't answer, but you don't even reply to my messages."
"What's wrong? Now that you're famous, you've forgotten about us brothers?"
Chen Xin's tone was always aggrieved, as if she were a wronged young woman complaining to her lover.
Considering the desolate atmosphere that Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin were currently exuding, Lin Rui felt even more certain that it might actually be true!
Xu Zhe on the other end of the phone was also a little confused, and it took him a while to react.
What's going on between you two?
"Didn't I tell you before that I changed my phone number? The new number is still written on a sticky note and stuck on my bedside table in the dorm."
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang were stunned for a moment, their faces turning from the frustration of being ruthlessly abandoned to a flushed red as if they wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
They've really forgotten about this!
Seemingly sensing Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang's silence, Xu Zhe decisively changed the subject: "Alright, I see you two. I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll be down in a bit."
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang subconsciously looked up and saw a head sticking out of a window in the area seven or eight stories high. Unfortunately, due to the lighting, they couldn't see it clearly, but they were certain it was Xu Zhe.
After ending the call, Lin Rui chatted with Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang.
Only after asking did I learn that these two scoundrels were now considered prominent figures at the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music.
There's no other reason than that they were roommates of Xu Zhe.
For a time, many senior and junior students approached them, claiming they wanted to get to know them. However, their real intentions were not what they seemed; they almost all wanted to use their relationship with Xu Zhe to see if they could get autographs from Xu Huijing, Shen Yun, Ye Yinhui, and others.
Currently, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is incredibly popular in the first region.
Although the filming progress remains a mystery, the burning currency shown in the "Sha Po Lang" MV alone is enough to get people excited and create an indescribable surge of anticipation for this star-studded series!
As for Xu Zhe, who is the second male lead, as long as he doesn't mess things up, it's hard to say whether he can become a superstar in the future, but becoming a top-tier artist is almost a certainty.
Although it is too early to talk about these things now, no one would be surprised if Xu Zhezhen, who is still a newcomer, were to reach this position someday.
"Xiao Rui, why haven't you left yet?"
Zheng Jing and Luo Qi walked out of the company chatting and laughing. When they saw Lin Rui not far away, they greeted him with a smile.
"These two are my roommates, they came to see Xu Zhe."
Lin Rui gave a brief introduction.
Zheng Jing and Luo Qi understood each other perfectly, and without saying much, they simply smiled and nodded to Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang before driving away.
"Holy crap!"
"Isn't that Xu Zhe's agent, Zheng Jing?"
"The one next to me is Luo Qi. I saw a report about her in the last issue of the entertainment weekly. This year's Xiazhou annual agent award is almost certain to go to one of them."
"I never expected that two top agents would be so approachable in private."
"Yes, they even smiled at us before they left, so it seems they had a good impression of us."
"I regret it! If I had just shown a little bit of skill earlier, I might have been signed by Tianrui."
Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin looked annoyed, but their expressions didn't last long before their eyes widened again.
"Xiao Rui, why aren't you home yet?"
"It's getting late, you should go home and rest. Do you want me to take you?"
Shen Yun and Sun Youlin also came out of the company and greeted Lin Rui warmly when they saw him.
"Goddess Chen!"
"King Sun!"
"We are your idols... no, you are our fans..."
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
Seeing Zhao Zeyang rambling incoherently, Chen Xin cried out anxiously, "Goddess Chen, King Sun, this guy is being silly, please don't mind him. By the way, can I get your autographs?"
Shen Yun and Sun Youlin were both amused and exasperated, but they didn't say anything, only looking at Lin Rui.
"They were my classmates and roommates. They were nice people and used to take good care of me."
"Signature? Of course, no problem. Thank you so much for your support!"
Shen Yun deftly took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote her signature, and then enthusiastically asked, "Is one enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough."
Chen Xin happily accepted the autograph.
"Goddess Chen, can I take a photo with you and Heavenly King Sun?"
Sun Youlin, who was also signing autographs, looked up and said, "Don't keep calling me 'Heavenly King,' it's too formal. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Sun, like Lin Rui does."
"Yes, you can call me Sister Yun. Calling me 'goddess' or something like that just sounds awkward."
Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin felt like they were dreaming.
Isn't it said that all the big names at Tianrui Entertainment have eccentric personalities?
No, it should be said that all the big stars in the entertainment industry are usually very aloof and tend to avoid their fans in most situations.
But what's going on today?
Not only did they readily sign autographs, but they also enthusiastically took several photos with them. They couldn't help but imagine that if they showed these photos off to their seniors and juniors, they might be able to attract another wave of beautiful women.
Watching Shen Yun and Sun Youlin leave, Chen Xin couldn't help but mutter, "From today onwards, if anyone dares to say that big names in the entertainment industry like to act high-class and aloof, I'll slap them across the face."
Zhao Zeyang, who was listening nearby, nodded repeatedly: "That's right, the more famous a celebrity is, the more approachable they are in private."
