Huayu: It's normal for me, as a director, to mentor young actresses, right?

Chapter 7 Sima Nazha's Heart, Everyone Knows!

Things didn't develop in the worst possible way.

Because when the phone was handed to Lin Yu, the post could no longer be opened.

It's just that internet regulation isn't very perfect these days; in a few years, we probably won't even be able to post anything.

"This post was deleted so quickly? I saw it just now and there were over a thousand replies." Wang Yanyang was a little puzzled. The rules for deleting posts on Baidu Tieba have always been quite mysterious. Sometimes posts that clearly violate the rules can stay up for several days, while other times posts that are just normal discussions disappear inexplicably.

"Posts like this, which are obviously fabricated, will definitely be deleted quickly," Lin Yu said dismissively, continuing to stare at his computer screen.

He was well aware of his situation; his photos weren't so easily posted online.

"I thought you'd become a big star." Wang Yanyang patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, his tone tinged with regret. "For us acting students, the camera is our life. Even being famous through controversy is still fame."

"What's the big deal about this?" Lin Yu said without looking up. "At most, it'll just become a topic of conversation among classmates, and nobody will remember it in a couple of days."

Lin Yu took it all in stride. Very few posts on Baidu Tieba actually go viral; most are just small, self-indulgent chatter. Beijing Film Academy is such a large place, there's plenty of gossip happening every day, who's going to keep fixating on the rumors between two freshmen?

"What are you writing? Film analysis?" Wang Yanyang then noticed that Lin Yu's attention was fixed on the computer screen and leaned over to take a look.

A black-and-white film was playing on one side of the screen, while a densely packed text document appeared on the other.

"Hmm. '12 Angry Men,' an old movie from 1957." Lin Yu said, his hands still typing on the keyboard.

Wang Yanyang carefully examined the documents on Lin Yu's computer and noticed something was amiss: "Wait, are you rewriting a script?"

The document doesn't contain film analysis notes, but rather the format of a script, complete with scenes, characters, and dialogue.

"Yeah, let's do a localized adaptation and see if we can put on a stage play or something," Lin Yu said casually, without mentioning his plan to make a movie.

It's a bit shocking that newly enrolled acting students are going to write scripts and make movies. Using theater as a reason is more reasonable, since acting students often rehearse plays.

Just as Wang Yanyang was about to reply and ask if he could come along, Lin Yu's phone rang again.

Lin Yu picked up his phone; it was a message from Nazha.

"Did you see the post? I'm so sorry, I didn't think that much about it at the time."

It was followed by a wronged emoji.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Don't worry, the post has been deleted, so it won't have any negative impact."

The reply came quickly, clearly someone had been waiting for a message: "I'm really sorry, how about I treat you to a meal? As an apology."

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the message.

This girl's "love-obsessed" nature wasn't something she contracted from signing a sugar contract; she's already showing signs of it.

In this situation, a normal person's first reaction would be to avoid suspicion and not meet with the other person for the next few days until things calm down.

Instead of avoiding suspicion, she took the initiative to invite me out to dinner.

Sima Nazha's true intentions are obvious to everyone.

However, to be fair, Nazha does indeed have this straightforward personality. She likes what she likes and dislikes what she dislikes; she doesn't beat around the bush.

Lin Yu naturally wouldn't let a beautiful woman down. As for whether he'd be photographed and the photos would be posted online, that wasn't his concern.

"Sure, when?" Lin Yu replied.

"How about now?" Nazha replied almost instantly, "I'll wait for you downstairs!"

It was followed by an expectant emoji.

Lin Yu looked at the message and was both amused and exasperated. Wasn't this a bit too hasty? He thought they'd make the appointment a couple of days after the orientation training ended.

-----------------

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory.

When Nazha saw that Lin Yu had agreed, she felt a surge of excitement. She immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to the mirror to start putting on makeup.

She noticed Lin Yu on the day she enrolled. That one glance when their eyes met in the crowd made her heart skip a beat.

Lin Yu gave her more than just a feeling of handsomeness, although he was indeed very handsome, but more of an indescribable temperament.

Unlike other guys who get nervous or fawn over her when they see her, he's very natural and composed, making her feel comfortable and safe.

If there hadn't been so many people gathered around, she would have gone up to say hello and get to know them.

Naza acted quickly, quickly touching up her makeup and changing into her favorite outfit—a white dress that made her look both pure and vibrant. She looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, and after confirming everything was alright, she grabbed her bag and ran out.

"Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?" Qu Yi, Nazha's roommate, was lying on her bed playing on her phone when she saw Nazha rushing off and asked curiously, "Are you coming back for dinner?"

"I'm not eating anymore!" Nazha's voice had already left the room, leaving only an echo reverberating in the dormitory.

Qu Yi paused for a moment, looked at her other roommate with a "what's going on?" expression.

"Why are you looking at me?" Another roommate rolled her eyes. "The opening ceremony just ended, and she went straight to be a roadblock. Do I even need to think about what she's doing now?"

"Oh, right." Qu Yi suddenly realized, then leaned in gossipily, "Do you think she can win him over? That guy seems pretty aloof."

"Who knows? But with Nazha's personality, if she likes someone, she'll just go for it without caring what the other person thinks." Her roommate shook her head. "Hopefully, she won't get rejected."

"I think it's promising," Qu Yi laughed. "Nazha is so beautiful, what guy could resist her?"

"It's hard to say, I've heard..."

Qu Yi and her roommates started a pleasant gossip session.

-----------------

Lin Yu, seeing Nazha say "now," was surprised that she was in such a hurry.

He had originally intended to continue writing the script for a while, but then thought better of it. It wouldn't be appropriate to keep the young woman waiting downstairs.

Lin Yu stood up, thought for a moment, and took the face wash to the bathroom.

It's clear that he really values ​​this trip.

The three roommates stared in disbelief. Li Chao clutched his chest, his expression exaggerated. "Could it be that Nazha asked him out? My heart isn't feeling well."

Wang Zihong looked at Li Chao with sympathy. "It seems so. If nothing unexpected happens, your heart will be uncomfortable for the next four years."

Lin Yu ignored the group of clowns, washed his face in the washroom, tidied his hair in front of the mirror, and only after confirming that everything was alright did he come back, pick up his phone and wallet, and head out.

"Brother Yu, is there a strategy that doesn't rely so much on character modeling?" Wang Yanyang called out from behind. "Brother, teach me, brother!"

Lin Yu waved his hand and closed the dormitory door.

He made his way in the world with his modeling skills; when has he ever learned any other playing style?

Walking down the hallway, Lin Yu couldn't help but find it a little funny.

This is the first time in both my lives that a girl has taken the initiative to ask me out.

Although I had relationships in my past life, they were all short-term; once the money stopped, the feelings vanished.

In this life, I'm the youngest among my peers. Most of my school-aged classmates call me "uncle," and I do feel guilty talking to them about it. As for relationships among peers, well, I won't say more; it's all tears.

As Lin Yu stepped out of the dormitory building, he immediately saw Nazha standing downstairs.

Wearing a white dress and with her long hair flowing down her shoulders, she seemed to glow in the sunset.
