Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

Wu Wei came down from the rooftop, returned to his dormitory, and collapsed onto his bed.

My mind was filled with Liu Yifei's strange look and her hurriedly running away.

What did that look in her eyes mean, and why did she run away?

He thought about the kissing scene she was going to film tomorrow, and his heart became even more agitated.

"Why are you getting so upset about someone filming a kissing scene?"

He muttered to himself in a fit of irritation, "She's nobody to you!"

But if you're unhappy, you're unhappy.

He can't fool himself, and he can't fool his own heart.

That night, Wu Wei tossed and turned in bed.

The pain from the wound on his back, coupled with his unease, kept him awake for a long time.

I didn't drift off to sleep until dawn...

……

Wu Wei slept until noon before waking up.

Even after getting up, I was still listless and lacked energy.

I didn't recover much after lunch.

He remained listless throughout the afternoon.

As night fell, the image of Liu Yifei kissing someone on set kept flashing through my mind, making me feel anxious and distressed.

Left with no other option, he went to an internet cafe and played games until 3 a.m.

When I got back to the dormitory, I ran into the stuntmen who were coming back from work.

Upon seeing Ni Haifeng, Wu Wei casually asked, "Weren't we supposed to be filming Liu Yifei's kissing scene tonight? You guys don't have anything else to do after that, why are you back so late?"

Ni Haifeng took off his coat and gave him a strange look: "Kissing scene? We didn't film any kissing scenes."

Wu Wei was taken aback: "Isn't there a kissing scene? I heard the director even wanted a real kiss."

"That was originally planned."

While pouring water, Ni Haifeng said, "However, I heard that Liu Yifei went to the director and said that the kissing scene was abrupt and did not conform to the plot logic. After hearing what she said, the director thought it made sense and did not shoot it. Tonight, we will shoot other action scenes."

Wu Wei stood there, stunned.

My mind went blank for a moment.

She pushed it?

She clearly lost the rock-paper-scissors game last night, but she still turned down the role.

Wu Wei's heart suddenly started beating faster.

He is now almost certain that Liu Yifei has feelings for him.

Even just a little bit of goodwill.

But at least there are some.

Seeing his expression, Ni Haifeng nudged him with his shoulder and winked, saying, "What's wrong? Don't you want to see your sweetheart kissing someone else?"

Wu Wei didn't answer, but patted him hard on the shoulder: "Thanks, brother."

Then he turned around and went back to his dormitory.

After the door closed, Wu Wei lay on his side on the bed, staring at the cement wall in front of him, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.

That night, he tossed and turned in bed, barely getting any sleep.

But my mood is completely different from yesterday—I'm so happy I can't sleep.

He felt that after this incident, his relationship with Liu Yifei would definitely take another step forward.

It may even usher in a leap forward.

……

The next afternoon, Wu Wei arrived at the film set early.

He specially changed into a clean and refreshing outfit, stood in the stuntmen's rest area, and kept glancing in the direction of the lead actors' rest area with a look full of anticipation.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

After Liu Yifei arrived at the film set, she never once looked at him.

Not even once.

Even if he stood in a spot she could easily spot with a casual glance, even if his gaze was fixed directly on her, her eyes seemed to have legs and wander around him.

He was completely ignored.

Wu Wei initially thought it might be a coincidence.

So, taking advantage of her break, I grabbed a bottle of water and went over, intending to talk to her like before.

However, as soon as he took two steps toward her, her assistant immediately came up to her and led her elsewhere.

Once, twice, three times...

He refused to believe in superstition and repeatedly tested the waters.

But every time, the result is the same.

This continued for two days in a row.

She was clearly avoiding him on purpose.

In that instant, Wu Wei suddenly understood.

He finally understood what her last look meant on that night they watched the meteor shower together.

That was the look in her eyes when she made her decision to sever ties with him.

That so-called wonderful night was just a little compensation and comfort for him, to keep him from being too upset.

You are a good person, you were very kind to me, and you even saved me. I am very grateful to you.

But I'm sorry, it's impossible for me to be with you, so let's leave it at that.

Wu Wei leaned against the wall, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

He thought things were progressing between them, but in the end, she was just saying goodbye to him in this way.

Ultimately, the gap between them is just too big.

Even if she has feelings for him, so what?

How could a popular female celebrity and an ordinary poor student possibly be together?

Even novels on Qidian wouldn't dare to be written like this!

She's already in the spotlight, so any scandals involving her would negatively impact her career and commercial value.

So she gave up.

Or rather, she made her own choice.

This choice is actually not difficult to make.

Anyone in that situation would probably make the same choice.

After all, career and future prospects are indeed more important.

Therefore, he didn't blame her.

Or perhaps, all along, he was just imagining things.

Moreover, he approached her primarily for the system's rewards.

However, during this process, he was involuntarily attracted to her and had some thoughts he shouldn't have had.

Since she has chosen to draw a clear line, there's no need for him to force her.

Fortunately, the system is still running.

Every time he appeared on set, in a place where she could see him, and every time he tried to get close to her, even if he failed, he would receive a reward from the system.

Although the excitement level is either very low or extremely low, the reward is only a small amount of attribute points.

But it was some consolation for him.

……

Wu Wei continued to come to the film set every day after that.

However, at this point, he no longer had those expectations in his heart.

He reverted to his original state—only wanting to extract rewards from her.

After all, the filming was about to wrap up in a few days, and this was his last chance to make a quick buck.

These days, Wu Wei appears on set every day with his injury, either silently watching Liu Yifei or trying to get close to her. These actions are seen by everyone.

In their eyes, Wu Wei was a stubborn and infatuated man—he saved the girl but was met with estrangement in return. Yet he was still unwilling to give up and would still come every day, just to catch a glimpse of her and exchange a few words with her.

"This guy is really infatuated with Liu Yifei. To be honest, I'm a little touched."

"What a pity, the gap between the two is too big."

"Yeah, even his heroic rescue didn't work. Liu Yifei has been avoiding him these past few days. This is reality, not a movie."

People were talking about it, their voices filled with regret.

Even Jackie Chan once ran into him and asked him a couple of questions, advising him: "A man should never be so dramatic about any woman. He should focus more on himself, improve himself, and make money. Then, a bunch of women will naturally come looking for him."

Wu Wei absolutely believes in Jackie Chan's views on relationships.

If he had achieved enlightenment in Longchang earlier in his past life, he wouldn't have ended up like that.

However, his situation is rather special: he has a system.

So when Wu Wei heard these words, he just smiled.

He could only nod in agreement with Jackie Chan's suggestion.

I wholeheartedly agree, but in practice I still do things my own way.

After all, he's just a robot trying to get something for nothing.

Don't even get involved in anything like being infatuated!
