Chapter 382: Chapter 359: You Punk

Qing University Botany Research Room.

Fang Yuliang was uncharacteristically not doing experiments. He was holding a smartphone he had bought earlier, awkwardly operating Weibo.

Ji Xizhi and Zhong Yulu’s trending searches had been at the top for an entire day.

Weibo had specifically organized the event’s timeline, so even if one didn’t click in to read in detail, they could still get a general idea of what happened at a glance.

Fang Yuliang frowned deeply as he read.

“You’ve been staring at it all day. Are you planning to stare a hole into your new phone?” Nearby, his mentor Han Congsheng passed by for the Nth time and couldn’t help but speak up, complaining, “What’s with you youngsters being so dawdling? Back in my day, with your mentor’s wife and I…”

Han Congsheng started rambling again about his old stories.

Fang Yuliang had heard them many times before, and usually by this time, he would stand up, go do his experiments, leaving Han Congsheng to talk to himself.

But this time, even after Han Congsheng had spoken for quite a while, he hadn’t moved.

His eyes were still fixed on Zhong Yulu’s Weibo homepage.

Han Congsheng glanced over halfway through his rambling.

“Huh? Why did you switch to this person? I thought you were staring at Old Jiang’s student all day!” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✶fire.net

Han Congsheng was surprised, staring at Fang Yuliang.

“I didn’t expect, when you finally opened your heart, you’d turn out to be quite the playboy!”

Han Congsheng’s tone was teasing.

But Fang Yuliang’s frown never relaxed.

Completely different from what Han Congsheng described, he wasn’t just not a playboy, he could be said to be extremely “infatuated.”

He couldn’t understand it, an uncontrollable kind of “infatuation.”

Fang Yuliang couldn’t remember when he first realized that he could only see Zhong Yulu in his eyes, as if it had been forcibly impressed upon his mind. No matter how beautiful other stars or artists seemed to others, in his eyes, Zhong Yulu was always the most beautiful.

Literally beautiful, like the saying “love sees the beauty of the beloved,” even if deep down he thought others were more attractive than Zhong Yulu, what he saw was always Zhong Yulu as the most perfect, as if in his world, only Zhong Yulu was the heroine.

But clearly, he didn’t even know Zhong Yulu, nor did he like Zhong Yulu at all.

This “infatuation” lasted until he replaced Teacher Xue on that lifestyle variety show episode.

Ji Xizhi became the only variable in his eyes.

Ji Xizhi was not dull in his eyes but vibrant and truly beautiful.

Even when standing next to Zhong Yulu, he could genuinely feel it.

He initially approached Ji Xizhi simply because she was the variable.

Gradually, it became a willing help.

Fang Yuliang never thought that Ji Xizhi could cure his peculiar obsession.

But last night, after seeing the trending search about Zhong Yulu and Ji Xizhi, it was as if he suddenly “recovered.”

As if something had cut the string that held him, all that “infatuation” was gone.

Fang Yuliang paused for a long time, then reached out to exit Weibo.

After he closed the phone, he looked up at Han Congsheng, and earnestly replied:

“I didn’t switch.”

–

Zhong Yulu’s affair had been discussed online for two days before everything was settled.

Ji Xizhi had no time to bother with Zhong Yulu. Besides dealing with Ji Family and Hangxing Entertainment matters with Qi Zheng, she had a lot of things to manage under her.

The online drama by Director Jin had been shooting for a while. As a legal advisor, she didn’t need to oversee it all the time, but she still needed to follow some professional scenes.

Director Jin knew Ji Xizhi was quite busy, so he concentrated all the scenes she needed to follow into one period, allowing Ji Xizhi to join the crew for a few days.

After arranging everything, Ji Xizhi began entering the crew of “Rival in Love.”

The filming location for “Rival in Love” wasn’t far from Ji Xizhi, and this time, she was there as a legal advisor, not to act, so the work was lighter. Therefore, it was decided she would go with Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan drove for half a day before they reached the filming location.

“Rival in Love” is a modern workplace sweet romance drama, with a generally light tone. Besides a slightly heavy ending, the relationship between the leads flows naturally, and there aren’t many filming locations, with only a small part at school in the beginning, the rest being common scenes like companies, courtrooms, etc.

Director Jin liked to shoot on location. She transitioned from filming movies to dramas, and was always meticulous in filming, paying great attention to content production quality. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have specially hired a legal advisor to oversee the crew.

On the day Ji Xizhi joined the crew, they were filming a scene where the male and female leads compete in a debate.

This scene was genuinely shot at a local university.

Before coming, Ji Xizhi had already heard from Shanli about what scenes were going to be shot and knew the shooting location was at a school.

Shanli had even reminded Ji Xizhi in advance to come fully prepared.

Although “Rival in Love” had obtained the school’s permission to film at the debate club, classes were still ongoing, which meant the students were also present.

With a crew filming at the school, even with designated people from the school and the crew managing the area, they still couldn’t stop the students’ enthusiasm for celebrities.

The female lead of “Rival in Love,” Shen Yeyi, although a newcomer, didn’t have many fans, but the male lead Qiu Hu was a popular young star.

Qiu Hu had just starred in a hit drama, and his fans were in a frenzy. When the crew came by to shoot this morning, Qiu Hu didn’t wear a mask while entering and was almost mobbed by students, unable to get out.

Ji Xizhi’s fans were far more numerous than Qiu Hu’s. If she just walked in blithely, the situation might be even scarier than Qiu Hu’s.

With Shanli’s warning, Ji Xizhi honestly geared up, familiar with disguising from her recent escape room promotion activities.

She even put a hat and mask on Xiao Yuan, fully covering her, to prevent Xiao Yuan from being recognized and leading to her own exposure.

Once Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan entered the school, they contacted Shanli, and only joined the filming site after Shanli came to fetch them.

Director Jin was shooting a scene with the female lead, and Shanli just brought Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan in quickly before being called away again.

As the legal advisor for the crew, Ji Xizhi’s primary task was to oversee the direction of the filming process. As she had already entered the crew, she wasn’t in a hurry and just stood in the corridor watching.

But she hadn’t even watched for a few minutes.

When a male voice scolded: “What are you looking at? Don’t you know you’re not allowed here?”
