Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 18 New Friends
A wonderful atmosphere enveloped the two people under the umbrella. In this quiet space that was half natural and half artificial, both of them remained silent tacitly.

Shen Juan was tall and slender, with a pair of legs that were obviously much longer than Zhou Ye's. His steps should also be a step faster than Zhou Ye's. But when the two of them were walking quietly step by step, Zhou Ye didn't even feel like he was being chased by him. It was as if he had been waiting for him.

Is this because he is taking care of his short legs? Oh no! Is this because he is taking care of his injured foot and is silently shortening his pace? Zhou couldn't help but think in his heart.

Not only that, because Shen Juan's umbrella was not big enough, the two people walking side by side would bump into each other almost every two steps, then separate out of politeness, and close their arms again after a while, and this cycle would repeat over and over again.

In this charming and ambiguous atmosphere, the other person's expression remained the same as before, and his movements were not stiff or deformed at all. Every move revealed casualness and naturalness.

This is wrong!

I was almost embarrassed by this classic scene in girls' comics. How could this guy not even have any reaction? He was too comfortable in front of girls, especially pretty girls!

Zhou Ye's cerebral cortex was abnormally active due to her tired state. Questions kept popping up in her mind. Looking at the handsome but expressionless face of the boy next to her, she asked inexplicably:
"Um. Shen Juan, do you know me?"

I don't know you, but I'm still letting you borrow my umbrella? Shen Juan felt like laughing for some reason. He glanced down and found that the girl seemed to find his words a bit strange.

Although she seemed to be trying her best to apply the expression management skills she learned in class, her unnatural smile and panicked eyes looking around had already exposed her inner unrest at the moment.

Ugh.
After all, he was a kind-hearted classmate who took the initiative to help him out in the morning, so there was no need to make him feel awkward and uncomfortable. So after a little thought, Shen Juan answered, "I didn't know him before, but I got to know him today."

It could be that the original person was relatively slow to warm up and didn't like to take the initiative to make friends, or it could be that the original person was so focused on becoming an idol at the time that he didn't have time to pay too much attention to campus life.

Anyway, the memories Shen Juan received now did not contain any fragments or footage about the girl in front of him.

Of course, except for a few classmates and roommates who I have talked to, there is no part for other people.

Zhou puffed up his cheeks slightly, not too happily, and unknowingly pretended to be a hamster eating.

"I didn't expect that you still don't recognize me even though we've been classmates for most of the semester."

Shen Juan paused for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Then let's get to know each other again!"

"My name is Shen Juan, nice to meet you."

Although Shen Juan's formulaic self-introduction sounded very much like the dialogue in an elementary school English textbook, it still made the girl, who had turned into a hamster, smile again.

"My name is Zhou Ye, and I'm glad to meet you too!"

Two hands, one big and one small, were gently clasped together.

Then they separated in a very measured and tacit manner.

"So you are finally coming to school this time to attend classes?" Zhou also knew that Shen Juan had been participating in a talent show in South Korea for some time, and the whole class knew about it.

The aloof male god who doesn't interact with his classmates on weekdays and seems to be very distant started from scratch in the South Korean entertainment circle. He created countless famous idols with his appearance and strength. Surrounded by many fans, he was crowned as the king of Kpop's new appearance mountain. No matter which school or class he is in, this story is a hot topic worth discussing before and after meals.

This is especially true among girls who love gossip.

At least Zhou Ye and her roommates discussed this matter frequently, and later on one of them even registered an account and climbed over the firewall to vote for Shen Juan on the Internet.

Just consider it as support and encouragement for your classmates’ career development.

In their eyes,
Shen Juan is both a classmate and an idol.

"Actually, I'm here to ask for leave." Shen Juan replied in a gentle voice.

"Ah?" The beautiful girl widened her eyes.

"No way, plans can't keep up with changes." Shen Juan shrugged helplessly, and explained with some regret: "I originally planned to stay in school for a while this time, but suddenly a job came up that needed to be completed, so the next time I go back to school may be for the final exam."

Zhou Ye's originally cheerful and excited mood suddenly dropped. She herself didn't even know why. She could only stare listlessly at the crystal raindrops slowly falling from the edge of the umbrella. Her worries gradually disappeared in the crackling of the heavy rain, and the atmosphere seemed to be inexplicably frozen.

"Are you so busy at work?" A young girl's face often shows her thoughts.

Sensing the mood change of the girl beside him, Shen Juan deliberately replied in a softer tone:

"It's my own choice. You may find yourself in the same situation as me in the future."

"That's true. Students from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy cannot be treated as ordinary college students." Zhou Ye lowered his head thoughtfully, and then, thinking of something, he raised his head again. Under Shen Juan's curious and surprised gaze, he smiled at him brightly.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Anyway, we are only in the second semester of our freshman year, and there are still three full years until graduation. What does this mean? It means that we can at least be classmates for three more years."

Holding an umbrella in his hand, Shen Juan was stunned as he looked at the smiling girl in front of him with shining eyes.

Although I thought in my heart that if nothing unexpected happened in the next few years, his work would only get busier and busier, and he would have less and less time to go back to school.

But... forget it.

She is right. There is no need to spoil other people's fun.

So Shen Juan laughed silently, thinking that he had made a pretty good friend today.

After asking for leave from school and having lunch, Shen Juan came to the headquarters of Lehua Company in Chaoyang District.

As far as he could remember, he hadn't been here for a long time, but the surroundings were still familiar.

This made Shen Juan sigh in his heart: It seems that the company's development in the past six months has not been very prosperous.
If the economic benefits were good, it would have been renovated or redecorated to a more luxurious appearance long ago.

I successfully entered the door by face recognition with the lady at the front desk, which made up for the regret that happened with the security guard at Beijing Film Academy in the morning.

I followed the secretary along the cool grey steel and wood staircase to the fourth floor, admiring with interest the artist photos and landscape paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. Finally, I stopped in front of the CEO's office and opened the door.

A plain-looking middle-aged woman in a white suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, overlooking the busy workplace downstairs. The sunlight shone through the window from behind her, and her confident smile was reflected on the glass.

This was the first impression Shen Juan, who had traveled through time and space, had when he met his boss again after a long absence.

It's just like shooting a magazine here.
Is it really such a coincidence?

Could it be that she knew from the receptionist that I had arrived at the company and she posed here waiting for me?
It feels very likely.

After all, this sister should be regarded as one of the bosses in the domestic entertainment industry who is most eager to perform and loves to appear on shows to attract attention.

Shen Juan was speculating wildly about his boss's strange behavior in his mind, and did not rush to speak to break the silence.

"Xiao Juan, you're here." Du Hua suddenly turned around and gave Shen Juan a kind and gentle smile, a unique smile of an elder.

Although I had seen this face many times through photos and videos, I was attracted by it at the beginning and signed him into the company directly to train him with all my strength.

But no matter how familiar I am with him, no matter how many times I have seen him, when I meet this child again and look him in the eye, I can't help but sigh in my heart:
This kid is really handsome, and I do have a keen eye.

Once you meet Yang Guo, your life will be ruined?

Once you meet Shen Juan, your whole life will be ruined!

No wonder it is loved by so many South Korean girls.

He is worthy of being the pillar of our Lehua!
