Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

She never likes someone just because they are outstanding.

She might have agreed to the previous Lu Qiaochuan, but not this arrogant and complacent Lu Qiaochuan.

She left without even eating.

Zhou Shengchen and Ren Yifan followed the dejected Lu Qiaochuan back to the tea ceremony club on the school playground.

As soon as they arrived, Lu Qiaochuan started picking a fight and venting his frustration: "Why are you two taking so long to get here? What time is it?"

Ren Yifan knew he was in a bad mood, so she didn't argue with him. Instead, she crossed her arms and said with a grin, "You haven't even warmed your seat yet, have you?"

Zhou Shengchen glanced at him: "You need to know one thing: I'm the president of the tea ceremony club, and I decide when the activities are held..."

Lu Qiaochuan: "..."

Zhong Bai, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, cheerfully announced, "While you're all here, let me announce our upcoming schedule. Lu Qiaochuan has three activities: in the morning, we'll check the plan we helped the Geography Research Club develop, and at noon we'll hold..."

However, Lu Qiaochuan was already in a bad mood because of his failed confession, and Zhong Bai ended up directly in the line of fire.

"Weren't you here for today's class meeting?"

Lu Qiaochuan impatiently interrupted Zhong Bai, then shouted at him, "Don't you know that the party arrangements have been dumped on me? Don't you know that the party arrangements have been dumped on me?"

"I know! Why are you being so fierce?" Zhong Bai said, looking aggrieved.

“I was already in charge of the party, and now you’ve dumped so many more activities on me. Am I supposed to study? If I get last place again, do you want me to repeat a year like Xiao Haiyang?” Lu Qiaochuan shouted at Zhong Bai.

"Weren't those events something someone volunteered for? Oh, right, who doesn't like being admired and fawned over? That person probably doesn't even know which way is which now, does he?" Zhou Shengchen said sarcastically.

Lu Qiaochuan turned his head and glared fiercely at Zhou Shengchen, but he didn't dare to lash out. His remaining rationality told him that if he dared to lose his temper with the other party, the other party would definitely make him come to school looking like a pig's head tomorrow.

In more serious cases, one may have to stay in a hospital bed for more than ten days.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go! Why are you acting like this?" Zhong Bai muttered, looking quite aggrieved.

It wasn't that she wanted to continue doing those messy things; it was Lu Qiaochuan, her childhood friend, who wanted to show off, so she and Ren Yifan endured their fatigue to come and help.

Hearing Zhong Bai's mutterings, Lu Qiaochuan suddenly turned his head and looked at her angrily: "You make it sound so easy! You've already promised others for me, why shouldn't I go?"

Zhong Bai said in a low voice, "Then I'll go and tell them to cancel the payment."

"Then have some mercy and go cancel your order right now!" Lu Qiaochuan yelled at her.

Zhong Bai, inexplicably yelled at by Lu Qiaochuan, had tears welling in his eyes and walked away with his head down.

Chapter 212: An Unexpected Encounter with Liang Chen and Ma Shanshan

Watching Zhong Bai walk away, Ren Yifan suddenly shouted, "Idiot!"

Lu Qiaochuan suddenly turned his head to look at him.

Meeting his gaze, Ren Yifan glared at him: "I am insulting you!"

"I can tell!" Lu Qiaochuan said coldly, his face grim. "Next time, please be more tactful with your insults!"

Ren Yifan said, "You're not going to be tactful at all! You idiot!"

"Are you crazy?" Lu Qiaochuan yelled at him.

"You're the one who's sick!" Ren Yifan yelled back. "What did Zhong Bai do wrong? You thought you were so smart, you confessed your feelings and got rejected, so you came back and took it out on Zhong Bai. What kind of idiot are you?"

These words left Lu Qiaochuan stunned on the spot.

"What a coincidence! Ren Yifan and I were sitting right behind you at the time." Looking at Lu Qiaochuan, who was standing there dumbfounded, Zhou Shengchen said sarcastically, "Our President Lu is so arrogant now, how could he possibly look at two small fry like us?"

These words instantly deflated Lu Qiaochuan's momentum.

Knowing he was in the wrong, he said guiltily, "I'm very busy right now, unlike the two of you who are just loafing around listening to this and that."

After hearing this, Ren Yifan snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Yes, I am a good-for-nothing, but I am not as capable as you! Vice President Lu can throw tantrums everywhere now, and I can't be bothered with any of that."

At this point, he suddenly stood up and looked coldly at Lu Qiaochuan, saying, "But you must remember one thing: no one can yell at Zhong Bai in front of me."

After saying that, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and left.

After Ren Yifan left, Zhou Shengchen suddenly slapped Lu Qiaochuan across the face.

"Snapped!"

Lu Qiaochuan was thrown to the ground, and his face visibly swelled up.

"What are you doing? What right do you have to hit me?" Lu Qiaochuan shouted at Zhou Shengchen, covering his face.

"You deserve to be hit!"

Zhou Shengchen stood up and walked up to him, looking down at him with a cold voice: "Let me tell you, Lu Qiaochuan, you can act all high and mighty, I don't care. Whether you get arrogant or fly away, I don't care. But there's one thing you have to remember, and that is that Zhong Bai is my woman. You can't scold her or yell at her."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Shengchen spat at Lu Qiaochuan and turned to leave.

"Shanshan, where is a music store nearby? My guitar is broken and I need to get a new one."

"Liang Chen, I just heard there's a really good music store in the north of the university town! If you want to buy a guitar, we can go check it out there..."

As Zhou Shengchen drove out of the school gate, he suddenly heard a familiar name.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Shengchen saw Liang Chen, whom he had met twice before, and a pretty woman with delicate features.

Zhou Shengchen drove up and parked in front of the two of them, then rolled down the window and said, "Liang Chen, we meet again."

“Zhou Shengchen!” Liang Chen’s eyes lit up in surprise.

Zhou Shengchen nodded and smiled: "I just heard you guys were going to the music store. I was going too, so why don't we all go together?"

"Are you also buying a musical instrument?" Liang Chen asked curiously.

Zhou Shengchen nodded: "Isn't the Midsummer Night coming soon? Our class monitor said he wants to put on a symphony, which requires a lot of instruments. I had nothing to do today, so I was thinking of going to the nearby music store to take a look, and I didn't expect to run into you."

"What a coincidence!" Liang Chen exclaimed, then pointed to the beautiful woman next to her and introduced her: "This is my best friend, Ma Shanshan."

Then she pointed to Zhou Shengchen and introduced him: "Shanshan, this is Zhou Shengchen, you've heard of him."

"Hello!" Zhou Shengchen smiled slightly and nodded at him.

"Hello!" Ma Shanshan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Get in the car! It's not a good idea to park near the school gate," Zhou Shengchen said.

Liang Chen and her best friend exchanged a glance and sat down.

The music store they mentioned is quite well-known in the university town area and has partnerships with many schools.

I've heard that many universities order their instruments from this music store; the quality and reputation are impeccable.

Zhou Shengchen had passed by the music store several times when he strolled around the area before, so he knew its exact location.

"By the way, Liang Chen, are you going to perform on Midsummer Night's Eve?"

On the way, Zhou Shengchen suddenly asked.

"Yeah! I can play a little bit of the flute, xiao, and guitar, but those might not be suitable for performing on a summer night. So I've chosen to sing solo." Liang Chen said with a smile, while winking at Zhou Shengchen, who was peeking at her through the rearview mirror and was stunned for a couple of seconds.

"Liang Chen, I didn't expect you to know so much!" Zhou Shengchen exclaimed in surprise.

"I can't compare to you!" Liang Chen said modestly.

"Does School Heartthrob Zhou also know music?" Ma Shanshan asked curiously.

Zhou Shengchen nodded: "I had a private tutor for a while before."

Ma Shanshan suddenly realized.

"Your family is quite well-off! You even have a private tutor," Liang Chen said in surprise.

Zhou Shengchen smiled wryly, "Compared to the average person, I'm a little better, but really it's just so-so."

Liang Chen snorted lightly through his nose: "I don't believe it. You're driving a Rolls-Royce now, and you're still trying to pretend to be poor?"

“I’m not lying to you!” Zhou Shengchen smiled slightly and explained, “My parents are doctors, and my mother received four houses as compensation when our old house in the city center was demolished, so we have some money. But even if we rented out the houses in the early years, we didn’t make much money. As for the car I drive, I earned it by writing novels. You should have seen my story on the forum, which includes the fact that I earn money by writing novels.”

Liang Chen nodded and asked, "What's your online name, 487? Is it 'Unrivaled Through the Ages'?"

"How did you know?" Zhou Shengchen asked in surprise.

Liang Chen laughed and said, "Because of [Beauty Bone]! Its protagonist is Zhou Shengchen, which is exactly the same as your name, so that's how I guessed it! But you're quite interesting, actually using your own name as the male protagonist of a novel."

Zhou Shengchen gave an awkward smile and quickly explained, "There really was a Little Prince Nanchen in history. I just happen to have the same name. And let me tell you, the Little Prince Nanchen's family has also passed down his story."

"really?"

Ma Shanshan looked on with curiosity.

Zhou Shengchen nodded: "The Zhou family is a large, wealthy, mysterious and rich family. The eldest son of the Zhou family can be given the family's real surname, 'Zhou Sheng,' while others can only be surnamed 'Zhou.' Interestingly, the current head of the Zhou family is named Zhou Shengchen."

"You're not going to say you're Zhou Shengchen, are you?" Liang Chen covered his mouth and chuckled.

Zhou Shengchen said, "As I just said, it's just that we have the same name. His surname is Zhou Sheng, and his given name is Chen. My surname is Zhou, and because I was born at Chen hour (7-9 AM), my parents simply named me Zhou Shengchen..."

The three of them laughed and joked, and after only walking a few streets, they soon arrived at the north side of the university town and came to the musical instrument shop of Huanyin Pavilion.

Chapter 213: An Unexpected Incident

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows reveal several musical instruments displayed inside, visible from the outside.

Piano, violin, saxophone, guzheng... and so on. Zhou Shengchen even saw a harp, which was extremely rare. He had quite a broad experience.

Stepping inside the Huanyin Pavilion, the decor, while not extremely luxurious, is very elegant, and the accompanying lyrical music truly provides a beautiful experience.

Based on this alone, you can imagine why this musical instrument store is doing so well.

Wow, so many musical instruments...

As Liang Chen and Ma Shanshan entered the store, they saw a variety of musical instruments arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, some familiar and some unfamiliar, and they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Zhou Shengchen simply followed quietly behind, giving the music store a cursory glance at its furnishings, but he didn't really have much interest in the instruments themselves.

His decision to come here was actually made on short notice.

Yes, I just wanted to chat with Liang Chen a little longer.

“Ding~ding~”

"Clang clang clang~~"
