Chapter 70: Couple
Actor: “Sister Xi, I’m here to meet you, but I’m not at school yet. I’ll go look for you when I arrive later, alright?”
Xue Xi looked up at Qin Shuang and asked in all seriousness, “Do you want him to look for you, or should we look for him?”
Qin Shuang: “…”
She covered her mouth and kept laughing. “Sister Xi, enough! Stop joking!”
Xue Xi was confused. “I’m not joking.”
Qin Shuang understood her personality. Seeing how serious she was being, she could not help but stop smiling. She thought for a while and asked, “Sister Xi, this person said that he is Cen Bai?”
Xue Xi nodded.
Qin Shuang had an epiphany and stood up agitatedly. Looking at Xue Xi frowning, she said after a pause, “Sister Xi, I understand. You’ve been deceived!”
Xue Xi was slightly taken aback as she looked at her with her misty eyes. “Mhm?”
Qin Shuang pointed at Xue Xi’s phone and said, “I’ve heard there was someone who pretended to be a celebrity and cheated money out of people. Did he ask you for something?”
Xue Xi: “…No. He asked me to buy something for him.”
Qin Shuang nodded. “That’s right! F*ck! You lied to my Sister Xi. Sister Xi, give me your phone and I’ll talk to him!”
Puzzled, Xue Xi passed the phone to Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang looked at the words on it and pondered for a moment. “He must have known that Cen Bai was coming to our high school, so he intends to lie to you and blackmail you. We must punish such people severely!”
More importantly, he was even using her idol’s name. She could not tolerate it!
How could he slander her husband’s reputation?
Qin Shuang picked up Xue Xi’s phone and typed after thinking for a while: “Shall we meet in the equipment room of the international high school after school this morning?”
There were few people there, so it should not be easy for others to find out after they’d beat him up.
Actor replied: “Sure!”
Sure, your sister!
Her husband was an aloof type. How could he use such a cute tone?
Ha, I’ll make this crook suffer in the end this afternoon!
After sending the message, Qin Shuang returned the phone to Xue Xi and sat down to pick up her phone. She then sent a message in the group chat.
Qin Shuang: “Sister Xi is in trouble. Please provide support!”
Gao Yanchen: “?”
Qin Shuang: “A liar calls himself Cen Bai and wants to meet Sister Xi at noon.”
Gao Yanchen: “Time and location.”
Qin Shuang: “After the morning classes, in the equipment room.”
Gao Yanchen: “Report.”
Flame Number One: [1]
Flame Number Two: [2]
…
Xue Xi was unaware of this. She had already picked up the essay book that the Chinese teacher had set up and started reading it with relish.
After two lessons, as the Best Actor had arrived today, the gymnastics lesson for the class was canceled. Old Liu walked in casually and said, “Alright, I’m here today to tell you a piece of good news!”
Old Liu smiled happily. “Cen Bai came to school. Everyone knows, right?”
“Ahhh!”
Both the girls and boys shouted excitedly in the classroom.
Cen Bai was good-looking, but his acting skills were good. He was one of the most popular among female fans. Everyone looked at Old Liu expectantly.
Someone shouted, “Can we get the chance to meet him? We’ll just look from afar!”
Old Liu’s expression was solemn. “According to the school’s rules, during Cen Bai’s filming period, no one is allowed to go near him, lest it affects the filming process.”
“Tsk!”
The students shouted in disappointment.
Old Liu suddenly laughed. “But there’s a chance now! This is because the production team needs some extras! I’ll sign up for all of you! It’s fine too if you don’t want to go.”
“Wow!”
“Long live Old Liu! You’re simply too good!”
“Old Liu, I love you!”
“This rollercoaster-like feeling! Old Liu, you did it on purpose!”
“…”
Old Liu extended his hand and suppressed the students’ voices. He then said, “Since you guys are going to class, the extras will be shooting during the afternoon self-study period. Class, now that we’re in Year Three, our remaining activities will definitely be reduced. We don’t even have enough time to study. I’ll let you guys have some fun this time. I hope everyone can focus on their studies after Cen Bai leaves!”
“No problem!”
The unity in the class was unprecedented.
Qin Shuang could not suppress her emotions. She turned to look at Xue Xi and exclaimed, “Ahhhh! Sister Xi, I’m going to die. I want to see my real idol!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Qin Shuang hurriedly picked up the mirror. “I have to remove my makeup later. I can’t meet my idol like this, but I don’t have any makeup remover. Wuwu, what should I do…”
She and her twin sister, Qin Lu, looked exactly the same. However, she hated Qin Lu’s hypocritical face too much, so she always put on makeup. This way, it would be easier for her classmates to differentiate between them.
Just as Qin Shuang was feeling nervous, Old Liu suddenly shouted, “Qin Shuang, Xue Yao, you two come over.”
Qin Shuang was taken aback.
She followed Old Liu out of the classroom.
After the two left, the class started discussing fervently. “What did Old Liu call the two of them for?”
“Could it be…”
“What is it? Hurry up and say it!”
That person said, “I saw it on Weibo this morning. It said that Cen Bai’s character met his first love in school. She was a pianist and died in a car accident. She did not have many scenes, only a few. The actress that was originally set to play her had an emergency and could not make it. Old Liu called Xue Yao over… Xue Yao’s piano skills are not bad. It must be because of this!”
She was the daughter of a wealthy family. If she went to the film industry, it would lower her status. However, it would definitely be a great honor to be paired with Cen Bai!
Everyone was instantly envious.
After a while, Xue Yao and Qin Shuang returned. Although Xue Yao appeared calm, Qin Shuang was already feeling a little light-headed.
When she sat down, Qin Shuang still felt like she was dreaming.
Never would she have thought that Old Liu would think of her when such a good thing happened.
In the first row of the teachers, Xue Yao recounted what had happened and the person beside her immediately said, “Wow, I suddenly regret not learning the piano properly!”
Xue Yao smiled. “No. A few people were recommended by the school to audition.”
“You’re the school’s school belle, and you’re so good at the piano! It’s definitely you! Let’s go for the audition! The rest are just there to be a foil!”
Xue Yao did not speak.
The female classmate, who had always looked down on Xue Xi and spoken sourly, was called Li Hanlei. When she heard this, she shot a glance at Xue Xi in the last row and then said in a high-pitched voice, “So, what’s the use of some people only knowing how to study? It’s a pity that they don’t know how to play the piano. That’s why Old Liu would rather choose Qin Shuang to make up the numbers than call someone else!”
Xue Yao’s expression changed slightly.
