Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

Fan Xiaoyu shook her head and said nothing.

Thinking about how Fan Xiaoyu in the drama couldn't afford tuition when school started, Zhou Shengchen said, "Is it because she's short of money? If so, I think I can help her out."

"no!"

Fan Xiaoyu vehemently denied it.

Although she is indeed short of money right now, her crying just now wasn't actually because of money.

However, if we dig deeper into the problem, it does have something to do with money.

The story begins yesterday when Fan Xiaoyu paid her tuition.

When she tried to pay by card, she was told that there was not enough balance in her card. How could a young lady like her, who was just paying tuition, possibly have insufficient balance in her card?

Fan Xiaoyu knew in a moment's thought that it was her father, Fan Debiao, who had suspended her credit card.

It was no accident that Fan Xiaoyu's credit card was suspended.

Her father, Fan Debiao, divorced her mother and then married a woman who was three months pregnant!

Fan Xiaoyu was so angry that she deliberately placed a box of worn-out shoes under everyone's chair at the wedding venue and prepared a "surprise" video, which made Fan Debiao lose face completely.

Fan Xiaoyu wanted to stand up for her mother, but her mother thought Fan Xiaoyu's behavior was too childish and that it would only hand over the family property from Fan Xiaoyu's father's side to that mistress.

Even more so, Fan Xiaoyu's mother forced her to apologize to Fan Debiao.

But Fan Xiaoyu was unwilling. She felt that her parents were already divorced, and her father had given her the house and money during the property division. She had even vented her anger, so why should she apologize?

She could have lived a good and dignified life with her mother.

However, Fan's mother felt she was being taken advantage of. She was unwilling to give up everything she had worked so hard for to others, and she kept urging Fan Xiaoyu to fight for the family property.

Even though she was doing it all for her mother's good, she still got scolded by her, which made Fan Xiaoyu cry in grievance.

“I think it’s because you’re short of money.” Zhou Shengchen smiled, pulled out a wad of cash from somewhere, and stuffed it into Fan Xiaoyu’s hand. “Remember to pay me back when you have money in the future.”

Fan Xiaoyu quickly returned the money: "I really don't..."

Zhou Shengchen pushed the money back and stared at her intently: "You need money."

Fan Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then put the money away. "I am indeed in a little trouble right now, but I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Zhou Shengchen smiled and nodded.

"Let's add each other as friends! I'll pay you back when I have the money," Fan Xiaoyu said, taking out her phone.

Zhou Shengchen opened his phone, added her on WeChat, saved her phone number, chatted with her for a few more minutes, and then left.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Under the scorching sun, Zhou Shengchen joined the long line to receive his military training uniform.

Before Zhou Shengchen arrived, the person at the very end of the line was Ren Yifan, Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai's childhood friend.

As for Lu Qiaochuan, Xiao Haiyang, and the others in the same dormitory, Zhou Shengchen didn't see them. He guessed that either they had already received their gifts or they were still playing around in the dormitory and hadn't come down yet.

"Mr. Ren, you've been waiting for a long time."

Just then, Lu Qiaochuan and Xiao Haiyang walked over together, and Lu Qiaochuan said apologetically to Ren Yifan.

It turned out that Lu Qiaochuan had arranged to come and pick up his military training uniform with Ren Yifan at the same time, but due to some other reasons, Lu Qiaochuan was delayed for a while, so he apologized.

"Whatever." Ren Yifan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Just now, a student thought the military training uniform didn't fit and had a fierce argument with the registrar. It was quite a show."

"Here, this is yours."

"Zhong Bai bought too many different things and threw them all together. It took me ages to sort them out before I arrived late."

Lu Qiaochuan smiled and then handed a bag to Ren Yifan.

“A mother’s love is so profound,” Ren Yifan said with a smile.

Then, out of Xiao Haiyang's curiosity, Lu Qiaochuan and Ren Yifan told him and Zhou Shengchen about their relationship with Zhong Bai and the other two.

Chapter 18: Gu Yixin, whose love turned to hate

Bi Shisan suddenly walked over from the front and handed a note to Xiao Haiyang: "Yu Hao said it's too hot outside, so he won't come to collect it. He asked you to collect it for him."

“Okay!” Xiao Haiyang readily accepted the note.

Bi Shisan then lined up behind Xiao Haiyang.

After Bi Shisan appeared, Lin Luoxue, who was in line ahead of him, turned her head and stared at him intently.

"Beautiful lady, my name is Ren Yifan."

As soon as Lin Luoxue turned her head, the playboy Ren Yifan instantly found his target and tried to strike up a conversation with her.

"Hello, my name is Lin Luoxue."

Lin Luoxue nodded in acknowledgment and gave Ren Yifan a look.

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between the sea queen and the scumbag.

With just a glance, they knew that the other was one of their own.

"Lin Luoxue?" Ren Yifan was taken aback because he recognized the name. He immediately asked, "Is she Lin Luoxue, who shares a dorm room with Zhong Bai?"

"Don't mess with her, she has a boyfriend..." Lu Qiaochuan suddenly gave Zhou Shengchen an apologetic look, then cut in front of him, put his arm around Ren Yifan's shoulder and whispered.

Lu Qiaochuan was about to remind his friend not to provoke Lin Luoxue, who already had a boyfriend, to avoid causing trouble.

But Ren Yifan seemed not to hear him at the moment, and directly interrupted him, continuing to chat with Lin Luoxue: "Have you bought all your military training supplies?"

"Not yet!" Lin Luoxue shook her head slightly, a beautiful smile on her lips. "I stayed at my friend's house last night."

"Cough cough cough!" Lu Qiaochuan coughed heavily twice.

After drawing Ren Yifan's attention, he lowered his voice again and gently reminded him, "Boyfriend."

"What did you say?"

Ren Yifan's voice suddenly rose.

Suddenly, Bi Shisan interjected, "He just said 'boyfriend'."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yifan pushed the hand off his arm, gave Lu Qiaochuan an apologetic look, and then said righteously:

"Mr. Lu, you've gone too far! Do you know how much damage saying such things can do to a girl's reputation?"

After saying that, he even winked at Lin Luoxue, but Lin Luoxue had already turned her head away.

"I was wrong!"

Lu Qiaochuan said speechlessly.

Ren Yifan said, "From now on, please think before you speak, okay?"

Lu Qiaochuan chuckled a few times, then helplessly said "okay".

"Did you filter it just now?"

"Filtered."

"Why is all that's left after filtering?"

"That just proves I'm an idiot for reminding you!"

"I'm so ashamed to stand next to you."

After saying that, Ren Yifan patted Gu Yixin, who was standing in front of him, on the shoulder and said, "Dude, let's switch places."

Watching the two of them sing in unison, Zhou Shengchen shook his head.

Lin Luoxue isn't some stunning beauty, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

Gu Yixin was about to confront the person who called her "bro" when she saw the thief who had stolen a kiss from her not far behind her. She immediately glared at Zhou Shengchen fiercely.

"Was she glaring at you just now?" Lu Qiaochuan followed her gaze and finally focused his attention on Zhou Shengchen behind him.

Zhou Shengchen said calmly, "She confessed her feelings to me on the first day of school, but I didn't agree. So she probably glared at me because she hated me instead of loving me."

"What? She confessed her feelings to you?" All eyes in the vicinity instantly turned to Zhou Shengchen.

"You filthy scoundrel, who confessed to you?" Gu Yixin gritted her teeth and glared at Zhou Shengchen with resentment when she heard him talking nonsense.

Zhou Shengchen chuckled and turned his head to the side. Seeing this, Xiao Haiyang and the others believed his nonsense even more.

But Gu Yixin was furious at this moment.

Fortunately, she remained rational and did not resort to violence.

Ren Yifan hadn't given up yet and continued to chat with Lin Luoxue, but Lin Luoxue didn't want to pay attention to him because her mind was completely on Bi Shisan.

Silently walking to the back, Lin Luoxue leaned close to Bi Shisan, who was reading a book, and asked, "What are you reading?"

Bi Shisan didn't say anything, but he turned the book over to reveal the front, and then continued to turn the pages and read.

“We’re in the same class. Where are you from? Does it snow where you live in winter?” Lin Luoxue asked.

Bi Shisan did not answer Lin Luoxue's question, but instead began telling his fable: "Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy who, when bored, would shout 'Wolf!' to the villagers. When the villagers came, they found there was no wolf..."

This time, however, before he could finish speaking, Lin Luoxue gave the answer—bored people die.

"correct."

Bi Shisan looked at Lin Luoxue in surprise.

Xiao Haiyang and Lu Qiaochuan, who had both heard Bi Shisan's fables, also turned their heads in surprise.

Twenty minutes later, everyone received their military training uniforms, and then the group went to the teaching building next door.

Not long after entering the teaching building, Zhou Shengchen saw the money-grubbing Gu Yixin talking to others not far away.

Zhou Shengchen guessed that the other party was probably doing business like in the original story, altering ill-fitting military training uniforms.

After trying the military training uniform on himself, Zhou Shengchen found that it was much larger than the normal size and didn't fit him well.

"Thirteen, do you know how to alter clothes?"

Looking at the oversized military training uniform in his hand, and considering that Bi Shisan didn't have much money, Zhou Shengchen thought he should introduce him to some business opportunities.

“Sure, men’s or women’s clothing is fine, just a ten yuan processing fee is required.” Bi Shisan nodded.

“Okay, then you can alter my clothes,” Zhou Shengchen said readily.
