Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

"Looking at the stars is great! I want to go!" Huangfu Shumin was the first to raise her hand in agreement.

"Xia Langlang, isn't Ma Yiran your first love?" Fan Xiaoyu looked at Xia Langlang teasingly, forgetting the reminder Zhou Shengchen had given her earlier.

Xia Langlang stammered, "You, you shouldn't spread rumors. He... he's just a high school classmate of mine, that's all."

"Oh~ just alumni." Fan Xiaoyu smiled and joked, "That's great, everyone can go ahead and make their moves now, right!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Langlang's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant, so she quickly changed the subject...

The next day.

That is, the sixth day of military training.

After the military training ended in the evening, Zhou Shengchen sent a message to Huangfu Shumin and then carried a bag of food to the pavilion halfway up the mountain in the military training base.

Zhou Shengchen took out the lunchboxes from the bag and placed them on the table one by one. Inside the lunchboxes were: braised pork meatballs, pan-fried pork belly, braised beef brisket, garlic chicken wings, and spicy diced chicken.

All five dishes were meat-based, which was exactly what Huangfu Shumin and the others needed most after not eating meat for six consecutive days.

Because everything in the small space created by Zhou Shengchen is static and has no concept of time, things will remain exactly the same whether they are put in or taken out.

This is why all the dishes Huangfu Shumin and the others saw when they arrived were hot.

Zhou Shengchen won over their stomachs with just one meal, but his target, Huangfu Shumin's heart, was not so easily won over.

After the meal, Fan Xiaoyu and the others were very sensible and took the initiative to clean up the lunchboxes and the table, then left Huangfu Shumin there alone.

Zhou Shengchen sat down next to Huangfu Shumin, looking at her with burning eyes.

"I...I have a boyfriend, this isn't right for us," Huangfu Shumin stammered, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

Zhou Shengchen smiled slightly, but the smile vanished instantly, as if water had left no trace, and he quickly became expressionless.

"You're angry?"

Huangfu Shumin noticed the change in Zhou Shengchen's expression and asked cautiously.

"No."

Zhou Shengchen's voice was cold, his eyes fixed intently on Huangfu Shumin's beautiful face.

Huangfu Shumin's fair cheeks were faintly flushed with a healthy, natural blush, and beneath her naturally curved eyebrows, her bright, clear eyes were dazzling.

Although Zhou Shengchen couldn't see the body wrapped in the oversized military uniform, he could imagine that every inch of her skin must be smooth and soft.

As he stared at the screen, Zhou Shengchen suddenly became lost in thought.

"Zhou Shengchen, Zhou Shengchen."

Several sweet voices calling out to him quickly brought Zhou Shengchen back to his senses.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Zhou Shengchen's voice softened: "Is military training tiring?"

Huangfu Shumin pouted and said unhappily, "This is much more tiring than military training in high school."

Zhou Shengchen nodded, then suddenly stood up: "Huangfu, come with me for a walk up the mountain!"

Huangfu Shumin gave a soft "hmm," stood up, and stood with Zhou Shengchen. They slowly walked up the mountain together, chatting idly.

"what!"

Suddenly, Huangfu Shumin let out a startled cry, her face flushed red with embarrassment.

"what happened?"

Zhou Shengchen asked her with concern.

Huangfu Shumin gestured with her chin towards a patch of shade not far away.

"There seems to be someone there!"

“It’s normal for some people to be like this!” Zhou Shengchen replied.

Actually, he had noticed the pair of wild mandarin ducks long ago, but he just didn't say anything.

Huangfu Shumin blushed: "No! It was a man and a woman there... Oh dear! Do you know what I'm going to say!"

"I don't know!" Zhou Shengchen retorted, feigning ignorance.

"Ugh! That girl's sitting on the guy's lap!" Huangfu Shumin spat. "Don't you...don't you think they're incredibly bold?"

"What's so strange about that?" Zhou Shengchen said dismissively.

In his past life, he would sometimes go fishing when he had nothing to do, and there was a park not far from the house he rented.

When the night is deep and quiet, there are always a few couples doing *that* on the park benches deep inside the park.

The girl was just sitting in the boy's lap chatting; compared to those who were having sex in the wild, they were really nothing.

Huangfu Shumin blushed deeply, "Hmph! You're so annoying, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

As Huangfu Shumin spoke, she quickened her pace up the mountain, and Zhou Shengchen hurried to keep up.

After passing through the bushes and flowers, Huangfu Shumin could vaguely see another pavilion at the bend in the road ahead, so she stopped at the bend.

Zhou Shengchen walked to her side and saw that there was also a couple in the pavilion.

The man sat on a stone bench, and the woman, wearing a pleated skirt, faced him, laughing and talking.

Zhou Shengchen didn't look at the young couple, but instead quietly gazed at Huangfu Shumin's perfect profile.

In the darkness, her profile was beautiful, and Zhou Shengchen was somewhat mesmerized by her. Unexpectedly, she suddenly turned to leave and bumped into Zhou Shengchen's arms.

Huangfu Shumin opened her mouth in surprise, but Zhou Shengchen instantly sobered up and then covered her cherry-like mouth with his own, preventing her from making a sound.

Huangfu Shumin froze, momentarily forgetting to move; she was completely dazed.

While she was still stunned and forgot to push him away, Zhou Shengchen took the opportunity to grab her hand, hook it around his neck, and then hugged her tightly in his arms.

“Ugh…” Huangfu Shumin’s big, kalanz-like eyes widened in surprise.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Huangfu Shumin's cheeks were flushed red. She rested her head on Zhou Shengchen's chest, not daring to look at him.

It took her a while to realize that Zhou Shengchen had forcibly kissed her.

Huangfu Shumin immediately pushed him away forcefully, then pouted and looked angrily at Zhou Shengchen: "This is my first kiss."

"me too!"

Zhou Shengchen said with a grin.

"Hmph, I don't believe it. I'm going back to the dorm."

Huangfu Shumin snorted, swayed her waist slightly, and ran quickly down the mountain with light steps.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Zhou Shengchen shouted as he chased after him.

After escorting Huangfu Shumin to the gate of the girls' dormitory, Zhou Shengchen left to return to his own dormitory.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Stargazing from the Mountain Top

Just as Zhou Shengchen was about to reach the boys' dormitory, he ran into an acquaintance—Duan Jiaxu.

He was walking side by side with three other people, chatting as they headed towards their dormitory.

"Duan Jiaxu," Zhou Shengchen greeted with a smile.

“Zhou Shengchen.” Duan Jiaxu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly introduced, “These are my three roommates: Sang Yan, Chen Junwen, and Qian Fei.”

After introducing Zhou Shengchen to his three roommates, Duan Jiaxu began to introduce Zhou Shengchen: "This is my childhood friend, Zhou Shengchen, a student from the School of Media Studies next to our university of science and technology."

Zhou Shengchen glanced at the three men. Chen Junwen, who wore glasses, was somewhat handsome. Qian Fei was a chubby boy with average looks, but he was quite likable.

The remaining one, Sang Yan, was much more eye-catching. He was tall and slender, with handsome and noble features, thick black hair and eyebrows, and a naturally cold and aloof demeanor.

He's the epitome of a cool and aloof male god.

Hello!

Zhou Shengchen took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello there!"

The three greeted each other politely and then shook hands.

Seeing that their hair was wet and they were carrying plastic basins, Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but ask, "Did you just come back from taking a shower?"

"Yes!" Duan Jiaxu nodded slightly. "And you? You're still in your military uniform. Did your Communication University just finish training now?"

"How could that be?" Zhou Shengchen chuckled, his thin lips curving upwards slightly. "I just went over to the other side of the mountain to get a better meal."

"Improve the meals?"

Duan Jiaxu didn't react much, but the chubby Qian Fei's eyes lit up. He asked eagerly, "Does this guy have a way to get some good food?"

Zhou Shengchen raised an eyebrow: "You need it?"

"Yes, yes, we absolutely need it."

Qian Fei suddenly grabbed Zhou Shengchen's hand and said excitedly, "Six days! A full six days! I haven't seen a single piece of meat!"

"Brother Zhou, please have some compassion!" Chen Junwen was also quite excited.

Although Sang Yan didn't speak, his eyes were shining.

"If you can, Zhou Shengchen, could you get us some?" Duan Jiaxu felt ashamed seeing his two roommates like this and couldn't help but cover his face.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get you some." Zhou Shengchen nodded to the three of them and ran towards the small hill near the playground.

Five minutes later, he came over carrying a black plastic bag.

Zhou Shengchen placed the plastic bag into Duan Jiaxu's washbasin and instructed the group, "There are bags of braised beef, braised duck legs, braised chicken legs, and other things inside. You can divide them among yourselves. Remember, make sure the packaging is properly disposed of, otherwise I won't admit it if it's discovered."

"Brother Zhou, from now on you're my own brother!" Qian Fei exclaimed excitedly, shaking Zhou Shengchen's hand.

Chen Junwen grinned: "Don't worry, we'll handle the packaging properly. If we're ever caught, we'd rather die than give it away."

Zhou Shengchen waved his hand: "It's too serious."

"How much?" Sang Yan asked succinctly.
