After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

The next day.

"Bai Nuoyan, why did I wake up in bed?"

"You sleepwalked there yourself."

"So, I was sleepwalking and still put on my underwear?"

"Yes, sleepwalking involves muscle memory."

"But I'm wearing your underwear, it's so tight it almost blew me apart, I can't exactly go to your room to find underwear to wear."

"..."

"Mind your own business. Hurry up." Bai Nuoyan put on a mask to cover her flushed cheeks. "Go to the academic affairs office and make things clear. I have other things to do."

"You've become a big shot now, why are you wearing a mask?"

"When I reported for duty, someone secretly took pictures of me and posted them online. Recently, I've been getting a lot of harassing calls, from bloggers looking to sign contracts or talent scouts. It's so annoying."

"At least wear a hat," Zhang Chen said, looking at the girl's silver hair. "Is there anything more distinctive than your hair?"

"Didn't I bring you here? It's good to put those people at ease." Bai Nuoyan took his arm. "Now that I'm pregnant, no one should bother me anymore."

"..."

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Nuoyan stared at him, her voice slightly cold. "Your hands are trembling."

"No, I'm just a little excited about becoming a father for the first time." Zhang Chen then put his arm around her waist.

"Look at you, are you secretly gloating?" Bai Nuoyan rolled her eyes. "Don't touch anywhere else."

The two embraced awkwardly, and when they arrived at the school gate, they bumped into a group of staff members who were moving photography equipment.

Zhang Chen spotted Zhao Fangyi immediately and realized that the music video production team had arrived.

Did Lin Yinmeng come too?

"What's going on here? It's quite a big commotion," Bai Nuoyan asked, craning her neck like a curious cat.

"Maybe the school invited them to film the military training to promote the program."

"Got it, you take pictures of pretty girls, then put them on the school's admissions website to fool the next batch of students. Didn't you want to go to Nanjing University because you saw pretty girls?" Bai Nuoyan said disdainfully.

Zhang Chen gave an awkward laugh, at this moment he just wanted to get Bai Nuoyan to finish the job quickly.

This is not a safe place to stay; we might run into Lin Yinmeng or Li Yinuo soon.

Even if Shen Nianxi bumps into him, it will still be bad enough.

His intuition told him that he shouldn't encounter these female monsters yet.

A short while later, the two arrived at the Academic Affairs Office, where Bai Nuoyan calmly explained her current situation to the group of leaders...

She is pregnant and awaiting childbirth, and she also needs to apply to skip a year of classes to ensure she can give birth.

Zhang Chen didn't expect that such a request would be approved, and that even he, as the child's father, would have the right to skip classes.

After finishing, he was still in a daze when Bai Nuoyan left swiftly.

Standing at the office door, Zhang Chen watched Bai Nuoyan's retreating figure.

He felt that there seemed to be some mysterious force, an invisible hand, behind Bai Nuoyan.

As the Demon King of Ning'an, he is definitely not that simple.

Bai Nuoyan and Tu Shan Hansu couldn't be found during the day... They definitely weren't just researching nonsense like pregnancy or not, right?

What are they doing? Since Li Yinuo, as a demon, has an important position among humans, what about the other two?

"Zhang Chen".

Just then, Zhao Fangyi, whom I had just met, happened to come out from next door, seemingly having just finished discussing something with the school.

"I saw you and that white-haired girl at the school gate... I suggest you keep your distance from the opposite sex during the MV filming."

Zhao Fangyi's tone became less friendly, "This MV shoot is CP-oriented, and your every word and action will affect Yinmeng's fans."

"If your private life is too messy, I will strongly protest to Yinmeng, and you may lose this opportunity."

"Uh... are there really that many requirements?" Zhang Chen frowned.

"What? You want to give up? If you do, we're sorry for taking up your time since I invited you. We can offer you some compensation."

When Zhao Fangyi told him to give up, her tone became noticeably cheerful, her eyebrows and eyes raised, as if she couldn't wait for Zhang Chen to give up immediately.

Zhang Chen discovered that when [Beast Eyes] and [Dog Scent] were combined, it was as if he had gained the ability to read minds.

He was initially a little hesitant.

But seeing Zhao Fangyi's attitude, he no longer hesitated.

"How much money?"

"Here are a few Haidilao meal vouchers? You can take your girlfriend there. Don't think it's too few; after all, you're not really losing anything."

Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?

"You'll have to pay more."

"Convert it to cash? Around a thousand yuan should be enough, right?" Zhao Fangyi sighed. She asked herself, for a college student of this age, one or two thousand yuan was already a huge sum of money.

"It's not enough. I have over a hundred mice, a cat, a dog, a fox, and a tiger at home. A thousand yuan isn't enough for my daily expenses."

"Your family owns a zoo?" Zhao Fangyi was stunned. "Then five thousand, five thousand is alright, right?"

"The receptionist who answered the phone yesterday told me that the film fee is 300,000 yuan, and that I should be compensated with that amount."

"What receptionist? That's clearly her! She is..."

Zhao Fangyi panicked, but couldn't bring herself to tell the truth. After stammering for a long time, she covered her forehead and sighed:

"Alright, then keep going. Our team will be conducting a preliminary selection process at the school in the next couple of days. You can participate."

"If Nemuro doesn't change her choice, it will still be you, but I think it's most likely just a passing fancy for her."

"Are you sure you still want to participate? If you go, you'll most likely be eliminated and won't get any compensation. If you give up now, you'll get five thousand yuan." Zhao Fangyi tempted her again.

"I'm from the countryside, and all I know is that 300,000 is much bigger than 5,000," Zhang Chen said honestly.

"Is money all you care about...?"

Zhao Fangyi was on the verge of a breakdown. She shouldn't have listened to Lin Yinmeng and come looking for this pest. Wouldn't it have been better to go with actors with clean backgrounds, acquaintances she knew well, or wealthy guys who could bring their own funding to the production?

"There was nothing I could do. I fell in love with a woman from western Jiangxi. Love can overcome everything, except the bride price."

Zhang Chen said gravely, then patted Zhao Fangyi on the shoulder, "Senior, I know you're a working person too, it's not easy for you, keep up the good work."

After saying that, Zhang Chen left, thinking he had acted with great flair.

"Ah, thank you..." Zhao Fangyi almost said thank you, but quickly covered her mouth.

I need to go back and give Yinmeng a good talking-to about this guy... If he were to actually participate, it would be a disaster.

Zhao Fangyi took out a small mirror and tidied her appearance for a while. Just as she was about to prepare for the audition, someone suddenly called out to her from behind:

"Hey! Fangyi! What a coincidence."

He was a stylishly dressed boy with dyed blond hair and decent looks, followed by a shifty-eyed henchman.

"Hong Jin? What's wrong?"

"Look, I'm here to talk to a professor from Nanjing University about an investment of tens of millions of yuan, haha, not much."

Hong Jin laughed, deliberately emphasizing the words "tens of millions".

Zhao Fangyi smiled politely. She didn't really think much of these flamboyant rich kids who kept talking about the business their families had given them, as if it was all their own achievement.

But as Zhang Chen said, she was also a poor working-class woman from a humble background, and she didn't dare to show any disrespect to powerful people like her.

"I heard you became Lin Yinmeng's assistant? Are they casting for a music video?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Wow, that's amazing! I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to act in it?"

"Yes, it definitely exists... but..."

"But what's there to hesitate about? I'll cover all the costs of your music video shoot, including the promotional expenses for your new song. Let me be the male lead, how about it?"

Zhao Fangyi was taken aback and hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, the two-year song drought has indeed put Lin Yinmeng in a bad financial situation. In addition, Lin Yinmeng has never registered capital or joined any company... It can be said that whether she can continue to develop depends on the filming of this new song and MV.

"I'll go back and discuss it with Yinmeng."

"It's alright, no rush. Just going through the motions is fine. You're going to hold a preliminary selection, right? I won't make any exceptions," Hong Jin said magnanimously. "You go ahead with your work."

Zhao Fangyi nodded and left with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Huang Yiming, Hong Jin's "underling," immediately flattered him, saying, "Brother Jin, you're awesome! No wonder my dad told me to learn from you! You can just smash up a big star's place like that?"

"This isn't about disrupting the event; it's about knowing yourself and your enemy, you know? Everyone knows Lin Yinmeng will go bankrupt if she doesn't release a new song soon, right?" Hong Jin waved his hand and laughed.

"Brother Jin, are you really going to participate?"

"Nonsense, that's Lin Yinmeng after all."

Hong Jin put his arm around Huang Yiming's shoulder and said, "Let me put it this way, you keep telling me how much you like that freshman campus belle, but compared to women like Lin Yinmeng and Li Yinuo, that campus belle is nothing."

"But I think they all look pretty much the same..."

"Looks are just the foundation; what's important is reputation, understand? Someone like Lin Yinmeng, the youngest diva, has such a reputation—if you took her out for a spin, her emotional value would far surpass any internet celebrity!"

Huang Yiming was utterly shocked. "Brother Jin, you've got your eye on Lin..."

"Shh, it's not done yet, but it's only a matter of time."

Hong Jin grinned, "And you, why are you getting worked up over someone with no background? Women are all opportunistic and sycophantic. That kind of man will be forgotten sooner or later. Just wait and see, but you had to get angry and get slapped in the face. What else is that but being an idiot?"

"Yes, I was an idiot!" Huang Yiming's lips twitched, but he still forced a smile. "I'm such an idiot, Brother Jin, please take me under your wing!"

...

playground.

"Zhang Chen? Do you think I look handsome with this slicked-back hair?" As soon as Li Yu saw Zhang Chen, he started combing his hair.

"That's awesome," Zhang Chen commented.

"Hey, did you hear that Lin Yinmeng is suddenly coming to Nanjing University to film a music video? I only found out yesterday. It turns out the president of the etiquette club knows Lin Yinmeng!"

Li Yu pulled him along, his face beaming with joy:

"Do you think she's been observing me all along? Did she deliberately hint at it to me yesterday?"

"...Well, I can't really say. Whatever makes you happy." Zhang Chen couldn't bear to shatter Li Yu's fantasy.

"Why do you look so listless?" Li Yu questioned. "Can't stand seeing your brother doing well, huh?"

"..."

"It's alright, Zhang Chen. Once I become a Dream Boy and step into the entertainment industry, I'll have my share of the profits, and you'll get your share of the profits too!"

Zhang Chen smiled, then suddenly felt someone staring at him. He turned around and saw...

She is a sweet and lovely girl with an exceptionally pure and charming appearance. She is about 1.5 meters tall and quite petite. She is surrounded by other girls and is the center of attention.

"What are you looking at? Oh, I forgot to tell you about her."

Li Yu followed the gaze, looking puzzled, and explained:

"Xu Jinyi dropped out of school... It's said that her cousin's place was originally taken by Xu Jinyi, and now it's been returned to her cousin. Is the rich women's circle really this unreasonable?"

"So this is her cousin?"

"Yeah, cousin." Li Yu scratched his head, his hands covered in oil, and smeared it on his pants.

"She's incredibly beautiful. I've only been standing here for a few minutes and several groups of people have already tried to chat her up. Stop looking, these kinds of beauties have nothing to do with us... Lolicon will get shot."

"What's her name?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Name? I think it's Mian..."

"Mianmian~" Suddenly, a sweet voice came, and the girl hopped over to Zhang Chen. "My name is Mianmian, Xu Mianmian."

"Little Master," Xu Mianmian blinked her big, rabbit-like eyes, "This little demon keeps her promise, I am yours now."

Zhang Chen nodded. "You knew everything?"

"Yes, little master, don't worry, I will keep your matter a secret."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Li Yu shrieked. "I don't understand a word you're saying!"

"Betrayal! Zhang Chen! Utter betrayal!"
