"A while ago, my parents ca to the capital for a visit, and we already t up, so I thought there wasn't much to do if I went back ho during the sumr break. I stayed and found a tutoring job, and thought I'd see if there were any opportunities to appear on cara," Jiang Lili said.
"Won't that be quite tough? I know so people at our provincial station, if it really cos to it, I can arrange so on-cara opportunities for you during the sumr break. You don't have to go back to the province; I can find soone here in the capital as well," Ge Dongxu said, sounding rather sympathetic.
"Giggle, Dongxu, give us a break! Can't you pretend not to be so serious when you're boasting?" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie, who were walking ahead, couldn't help but laugh again at Ge Dongxu's words.
"I'm serious, if you guys are interested, I can still try to ask around for roles other than the lead or second lead," Ge Dongxu said.
"Giggle! I can't take this! You even brag thicker than Brother Hui," Jin Yushan laughed.
"Am I being dragged into this?" Wang Hui asked feeling quite innocent.
"What do you an, dragged into this? You're exactly that," Lin Sijie responded with a roll of her eyes.
By this point, Ge Dongxu knew there was no point in continuing this topic. Further discussion would not make Jin Yushan and others believe him. He decided to wait for another opportunity to ask Jiang Lili alone.
"Speaking of on-cara opportunities, I had dinner last month with Xu Yunxiang and so other senior students who graduated from our academy, and it did co up that a new show is about to start filming," Chen Liang added, taking over the conversation as, in truth, Ge Dongxu also didn't have a chance to continue boasting on this topic.
"Wow! Brother Liang, that's so cool! You actually had dinner with Xu Yunxiang," Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie suddenly looked at Chen Liang with sparkling eyes and a bit of exaggerated admiration.
Seeing the admiring look from Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie, Chen Liang, even though partly putting on an act, couldn't help but feel quite pleased and proud.
"It's really no big deal, just a al together," Chen Liang said "modestly," yet his gaze deliberately passed over Ge Dongxu and Jiang Lili.
Unfortunately, Ge Dongxu seed to have no idea who Xu Yunxiang was, and Jiang Lili's thoughts were entirely on Ge Dongxu at that mont, which hurt Chen Liang's feelings.
Thankfully, Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie were quite cooperative, imdiately raising their voices in protest, "That's no big deal? Xu Yunxiang, the big star who graduated from our academy. No, next ti you dine with him, Brother Liang, you must get an autograph for us."
"That's a small matter," Chen Liang responded coolly, feeling sowhat comforted by the continuing support from these beauties, and then resud the earlier topic, "This show, mainly shot in our capital, is looking for several pure and pretty female supporting characters. If you're interested, I could try to secure those roles for you."
"Thank you so much, Brother Liang! You're such a good guy. Here, one for you!" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie imdiately blew a kiss to Chen Liang upon hearing his words.
"Don't thank too soon. I only have a minor reputation in the industry; my word doesn't carry much weight, so don't get your hopes up too high," Chen Liang cautioned, rely flaunting but, in reality, having little say over those supporting roles. Seeing Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie's excited reactions, he quickly tempered their expectations.
"We understand, even a small hope is still hope, definitely better than the empty promises from Dongxu and Brother Hui!" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie, always sharp, dimd slightly in their eyes but still smiled sweetly at Chen Liang, not forgetting to roll their eyes at Ge Dongxu and Wang Hui.
"I'm being dragged into it again, I knew I shouldn't have co hiking at Fragrant Hills today!" Wang Hui lanted.
"Cut it out, are we wrong though? Talking about 'when Brother Hui becos a big director, then this, then that.' Do you think that's reliable? And we don't even need to start on Dongxu," Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie rolled their eyes in agreent.
Jiang Lili saw her two roommates dissing Ge Dongxu and couldn't help feeling sowhat embarrassed. She stamped her foot and was about to scold them, but Ge Dongxu just smiled, patted her hand, and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, let them say whatever they want."
Jiang Lili's ears were ward by Ge Dongxu's breath and she felt like she was about to float away. Her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, and her cheeks flushed red, making Chen Liang's heart ache again while Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie shook their heads secretly.
As for Wang Hui, he grew even more admiring of Ge Dongxu.
A man, still a high school student, had srized their campus belle to this extent; it would be a total waste of talent if he didn't pursue a career living off won in the future.
They passed by Jingcui Lake, Cuiwei Pavilion, Shuangqing Villa, Xuanqiu Forest, Langfeng Pavilion, Heshun Gate, and Yutai Sect to reach Xianglu Peak. By the ti they headed down the mountain, it was already noon and everyone was tired.
Chen Liang suggested eating at Xiangshan Restaurant.
The cost at Xiangshan Restaurant was naturally not low. At the end, Ge Dongxu wanted to pay, but Chen Liang stubbornly insisted on splurging and wouldn't allow it.
"You've just graduated high school; it's already not easy for your parents to give you money to co to the capital for a trip. If you treat us to a al as well, you'd probably have to walk ho," Chen Liang said.
"Exactly, acting as if you own several companies, with savings of seven or eight hundred thousand!" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie rolled their eyes and said.
"Alright, Dongxu, don't argue with Brother Liang anymore. He's rich. Look, I don't compete with him," Wang Hui said.
"Puh-lease! You're just shaless!" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie scornfully said without holding back.
Wang Hui imdiately shut up.
Ge Dongxu just smiled and decided not to argue with Chen Liang anymore.
Since it was sumr, the weather beca increasingly hotter after noon. Furthermore, they had just been hiking in the morning, so after lunch, nobody felt like sightseeing anymore and prepared to head back to school.
"Dongxu, do you have any plans for the afternoon? If not, why don't you co visit our school? It has pretty nice scenery," Jiang Lili said, a hint of anticipation shining in her eyes.
Seeing Jiang Lili's attitude with her boyfriend, Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie felt their roommate was utterly hopeless.
"There are lots of beautiful girls," Wang Hui blurted out, thinking it was impressive that a girlfriend would beg like this and intentionally added a remark.
"Big brother Hui, are you asking for a beating? Lili is inviting her boyfriend to visit the campus, and you're telling him there are lots of beauties?" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie glared at him irritably.
"Sure, these next few days I'm just here to have fun," Ge Dongxu naturally didn't pay attention to Wang Hui and others and smiled while speaking to Jiang Lili.
"Dongxu is also coming to our school? Then what should we do? One car won't fit everyone. How about you take the bus, and I'll take them back first?" Chen Liang said with a slight frown upon hearing this.
