Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

As for Liang Chen and Ma Shanshan, Zhou Shengchen didn't even let them come along.

.........

Back at the villa that night, after two hours of crazy fun with Jing Xiaoai, Zhou Shengchen thought about how he would be spending some time in Shanghai during the summer vacation. So he transferred some money to his sweetheart, Zhu Zhe, asking her to help him buy apartment 2201 in their building and the apartment above it.

Besides that, there were two luxury cars.

After chatting with Zhu Zhe for a long time, Zhou Shengchen also chatted with Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying for a while, which became something he had to do every day after getting to know the two women.

The two young beauties were attracted to Zhou Shengchen at first sight, so they would often chat with him late at night, and even subtly inquire whether he had any plans to find a girlfriend.

However, Zhou Shengchen did not answer for the time being, because he wanted to wait until he arrived in Shanghai to consider it.

After chatting with the two women, Zhou Shengchen thought for a moment, then sent a message to Nie Xingchen, asking her to find someone to buy the 23rd floor of Building 19 in Shanghai where Guan Juer and the others lived, and also to provide them with two luxury cars...

.........

noon the next day.

Communication University of China, male dormitory.

Zhou Shengchen looked at Xiao Haiyang, who was engrossed in reading an English book, and asked curiously, "Haiyang, do you have enough credits this year? Don't repeat a year. If I remember correctly, you've already repeated two years. If you repeat another year, you'll have to drop out!"

"Of course I have to pass!" Xiao Haiyang turned to look at Zhou Shengchen and smiled. "According to the requirements, you need at least 26 credits each year to avoid repeating a year. I got 12 credits last semester, and if you include the credits for being the psychology committee member, the publicity department cadre, and the two extra credits I applied for in the first two months, that makes 18 credits. This semester I've worked much harder than before, and I feel like I'll only fail two subjects at most. Although I still can't compare to you top students, getting 8 credits shouldn't be a problem."

Zhou Shengchen nodded thoughtfully. He had noticed that Xiao Haiyang had been working particularly hard last semester. Although he still failed the exam during the Spring Festival, he seemed to be doing much better than before.

He worked even harder this year than last year. Even if he's not very bright, it's impossible for him not to make any progress.

Zhou Shengchen said, "Tell me which subjects you're not confident about, and I'll take some time these next couple of days to organize the past exam materials for our photography department and highlight the key points for you."

"Thank you so much!" Xiao Haiyang said gratefully, pressing his hands together.

Although I'm confident I can get eight credits this time, bringing my total to twenty-six.

However, anything can happen, so Xiao Haiyang was extremely grateful for what Zhou Shengchen had just said on April 4.2nd.

"Let's go, Hao-ge, let's go to the meeting!"

Lu Qiaochuan, who was organizing documents with his head down, suddenly stood up, said something to Yu Hao, and then left the dormitory.

"Okay!" Yu Hao replied and quickly followed.

After he left, Xiao Haiyang asked Zhou Shengchen, "What happened to the handprint on Lu Qiaochuan's face? It was like this when he came back from the playground yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Bi Shisan, who was typing away on his computer, looked up at Zhou Shengchen.

Zhou Shengchen sighed and said, "This guy has been getting too cocky lately. He gave Zhong Bai a good scolding because he was in a bad mood, so I made him come back to his senses."

“He’s definitely gotten a bit cocky lately!” Xiao Haiyang nodded, then asked curiously, “But why was it you who stood up for Zhong Bai, and not Ren Yifan?”

Chapter 217: The Shy Li Shuci

Zhou Shengchen said, "Ren Yifan actually insulted him too."

Xiao Haiyang said "Oh," then hesitated, as if suddenly remembering something, and said, "I've been feeling something's off between you and Zhong Bai this semester, you two..."

Zhou Shengchen: "Uh... at the end of last year, Zhong Bai and Lu Qiaochuan had a fight because of Lin Luoxue, right? Then Zhong Bai went drinking with Li Shuci and they both got drunk. I happened to be at that restaurant at the time."

Xiao Haiyang stared wide-eyed at Zhou Shengchen in disbelief: "So, you did something worse than an animal."

"What kind of person do you take me for?" Zhou Shengchen glared at him and said, "It was already very late, and the school had long since closed. So I took them to the villa I bought, and then in the middle of the night, Zhong Bai came out of their guest room and even got into my bed. I had drunk quite a bit that time, and I was so confused that I thought she was my girlfriend."

"Beast!" Xiao Haiyang muttered.

Bi Shisan scoffed, "Beast!"

"You two have gone too far!" Zhou Shengchen rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "This isn't my fault! I already said it was an accident! Besides, I have no intention of shirking responsibility. As long as she's willing, I will definitely marry her."

Xiao Haiyang and Bi Shisan exchanged a glance and said nothing more, because after spending so much time together, they knew Zhou Shengchen's character.

"Oh, right, Haiyang." Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Shengchen asked Xiao Haiyang, "How are things going with you and your girlfriend? Weren't you supposed to get engaged?"

Xiao Haiyang replied, "We'll get engaged during summer vacation and get married during winter vacation. I'll treat you to wedding candy then."

Zhou Shengchen: "Then I'll be waiting!"

Bi Shisan: "Congratulations!"

"Hey, what kind of event do you guys think Lu Qiaochuan is planning for Midsummer Night?" Xiao Haiyang asked.

"A music show!" Zhou Shengchen curled his lip and said, "Lu Qiaochuan has been too arrogant lately. Just wait until he gets slapped in the face!"

Xiao Haiyang raised an eyebrow: "Someone does this every year, it doesn't seem that difficult, so why aren't you optimistic about this program?"

Zhou Shengchen said, "What I want to do is a symphony, the kind with real instruments. That means that in the coming days, our class will learn a three-minute piece. Everyone will learn a part of it."

“It’s only a short section, and each person has to learn a part of it. It doesn’t seem too difficult, does it?” Bi Shisan interjected.

"Not difficult!" Zhou Shengchen chuckled coldly. "You'll know how difficult it is once you get your hands on it. Besides, you think you can learn an instrument and even play a piece after only four or five days? How much do you look down on the students at the music academy?"

Xiao Haiyang said, "Then hurry up and persuade Lu Qiaochuan to change his mind! There's still time."

Zhou Shengchen said, "He's so out of his mind right now, can you really persuade him?"

.........

In the cafeteria, Lu Qiaochuan put his backpack aside and sat down with Yu Hao opposite Gu Yixin and Lin Luoxue.

As soon as they sat down, Lu Qiaochuan eagerly began today's conversation.

"To make a long story short, today is the 18th, and the party is on the 26th. Including today, we originally had a total of nine days, but the CET-4 exam is tomorrow, so today and tomorrow will definitely be reserved for students to review and take the exam. In other words, starting from the 20th, we still have a whole week."

Lu Qiaochuan took out the schedule and handed one to each person. Before the others could finish reading the schedule, he continued, "From the 20th to the 22nd, our whole class will go to a music store. There is a small auditorium there where we can practice. On the 23rd, we need to bring our instruments over and go to the auditorium for a rehearsal in advance."

At this point, Lu Qiaochuan paused for a moment and said to Lin Luoxue, "Luoxue, do you think we could borrow the auditorium for half a day that afternoon?"

Lin Luoxue nodded and agreed.

Lu Qiaochuan continued, "For the next two days, we will continue to practice at the music store until the performance on the 26th."

"Are these all the price lists?"

After reviewing the report, Gu Yixin, the student life committee member in charge of finances, looked up at Lu Qiaochuan and asked.

Lu Qiaochuan nodded.

"How much do you plan to charge each person?" Gu Yixin asked.

Lu Qiaochuan replied, "Five hundred each, that's just enough for five days of practice at the music school."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yixin frowned slightly: "Four days at most. Equipment rental requires round-trip transportation and personnel scheduling. We also need to insure the rented equipment, and we need to eat out during the practice days. All of these expenses should be covered by this fund, so your budget can only last for four days at most."

Lu Qiaochuan thought for a moment and said, "That's right! Then, let's take a day off on the 22nd, so that we can have two days to practice before and after the rehearsal."

At this point, he turned to look at Yu Hao: "Brother Hao, do you guys think this is okay?"

“The idea is good!” Yu Hao frowned and pondered, “But it’s hard to say how to implement it. I’ve studied piano, and personally, musical instruments are not easy to master.”

"It's a three-minute piece, and everyone will only learn a short section, less than a minute. You don't need to master it; just memorize it. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Lu Qiaochuan said with a nonchalant expression.

He clearly believed that everyone could do it.

However, Yu Hao truthfully replied to his words, "It's hard to say!"

.........

The next day, the English exam arrived.

Zhou Shengchen and Li Shuci took the CET-6 exam together. Coincidentally, they were in the same exam room and sat together.

There was an aisle between them, so Zhou Shengchen tilted his head and teased Li Shuci, making her blush and feel extremely shy.

The two were chatting when they suddenly saw Bi Shisan walk in.

Yes, Bi Shisan is also a top student, so naturally he can participate in the CET-6.

The exam will begin soon.

Zhou Shengchen only glanced at it briefly, but all the answers appeared in his mind, and he began to answer the questions.

He finished the test in less than twenty minutes, and then, out of boredom, he kept looking at Li Shuci.

Li Shuci had answered very well, but after Zhou Shengchen finished answering, he kept staring at her, which greatly affected her.

So, under Zhou Shengchen's burning gaze, she struggled for a while, mustered up her courage and glared at Zhou Shengchen "fiercely," only then did Zhou Shengchen look away.

After the exam, Zhou Shengchen invited Li Shuci to a quiet and elegant grove of trees on campus.

Zhou Shengchen and Li Shuci sat on the lawn, leaning sweetly against each other.

Li Shuci's pretty face carried a hint of shyness, but even more so, sweetness. Her incomparably beautiful face appeared incredibly charming, making one's heart flutter.

Zhou Shengchen held Li Shuci's slender and soft waist tightly. Because the weather was already hot, Li Shuci was only wearing a simple pink t-shirt and a pair of light blue denim shorts. She bent over slightly, and her pink skin and snow-white, long legs were exposed to Zhou Shengchen's eyes without reservation.

Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but move his hand upwards, caressing the smooth skin, and his heart fluttered.

"Mmm!" Li Shuci uttered a shy nasal sound, her soft voice instantly igniting a fire in Zhou Shengchen's heart.

The next moment, he pulled Li Shuci into his arms tightly, and with his other hand lifted her round and smooth chin, looking at her shy and pretty face.

Chapter 218: Finally Slept with Li Shuci

Li Shuci's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a hazy, dreamy look flashing within them. Zhou Shengchen could no longer resist her captivating beauty and shyness, and kissed her delicate, luscious red lips.

"Whoa~!"

Li Shuci let out a soft moan, her whole body suddenly tensing up as she felt Zhou Shengchen's large, warm hands moving back and forth on her waist and back. Li Shuci felt extremely shy.

But she did not resist; she simply leaned against Zhou Shengchen's chest and let him do as he pleased.

She felt incredibly shy, a mixture of nervousness and embarrassment.

After a long silence, Zhou Shengchen suddenly spoke up: "Shuci, how about we go see a movie together tonight?"

Li Shuci nodded shyly.

The two then sat down and chatted.

In the evening, Zhou Shengchen took Li Shuci out for dinner, and then they went to the movie theater.

“Zhou, Zhou Shengchen, I… why don’t we sit in the front?” Li Shuci asked nervously.

Zhou Shengchen smiled slightly and explained, "There are too many people in front, I don't like it."
