nChapter 3
nAfter returning to the Xia residence, Xia Yishan was very obedient. She allowed Wan Yuning to arrange all sorts of courses mandatory for a high society young mistress. For instance, etiquette, make-up, fashion styling, flower arranging, tea tasting, and art appreciation. Not only had she learned of those things in her past life, but she had also practiced them countless times. She could do all of it even with her eyes closed.
nNaturally, she was not so naive to think what Wan Yuning made her do was really for her own good. Wan Yuning merely wanted to train her as fast as she could to be the replacement for Xia Zhirou, doing what she should have done.
nCoincidentally, Xia Yishan had completed her college entrance examination before returning to the Xia residence. Although she had yet to receive the admission letter, she was accepted into the Beijing Western Film Academy, majoring in Drama and Performance.
nHer heart was heavy when she stepped into the academy again. There were many posters promoting the important speech happening at Auditorium No.10 on the wall. If she remembered correctly, today was…
nXia Yishan headed straight to Auditorium No.10. Eighty percent of the seats were taken by the students, with the only ones left in the last two rows.
nThere would be a VIP giving a speech today, and steps had been taken to ensure its success. Not only did the school not reveal the speaker’s name, but they also hired numerous security guards to keep things under control. It seemed the coming speaker was someone big.
nA slender figure entered the auditorium under the protection of his bodyguards, with the academy’s principal and vice-principal following behind him. Those two usually only appeared during graduation ceremonies and the academy’s promotional videos.
nThe crowd auditorium screamed as soon as the VIP took off his sunglasses.
n“Best Actor Su!”
n“Is he really Best Actor Su? Pinch me now so that I know I’m not dreaming!”
n“Oh, my. Best Actor Su saw me. He saw me. I’m so happy I’m going to pass out.”
n“H-he’s so handsome!”
nThe principal spoke first, “Students, please remain silent…
n“Students, we’re fortunate to have Best Actor Su, Su Jingling speaking to us today. Please give him a round of applause, everyone…”
nSu Jingting walked onto the podium and adjusted the mic higher. “Hello, everyone. I’m Su Jingting…”
nThe university students were gazing at him throughout the speech which lasted more than an hour. There was cheering almost every ten minutes, and everyone was interacting with him.
nEveryone except Xia Yishan.
nVery soon, the speech and Q&A session ended. Xia Yishan got up immediately. She was even holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms.
nSu Jingting received so many gifts from his fans before that he had lost count. However, the speech today was kept a secret. Nobody prepared gifts, so Xia Yishan was the only person who knew that he would come beforehand.
nSu Jingting was surprised, too. He could not believe someone had prepared flowers for him.
n‘That girl holding the flowers…’
nXia Yishan approached him openly to give him the flowers right in front of the students and school leaders in the auditorium.
nMany female students were flustered seeing that someone was giving him flowers.
n“Oh my god, why didn’t I think of giving him flowers?”
n“Best Actor Su, please give me your autograph!”
n“Sign your name on my clothes!!!”
n“Please take a picture with me, Best Actor!”
nWalking in front, Xia Yishan did not notice the crowd behind her pushing each other.
n“Ahh!”
nThe people behind Xia Yishan pushed her, which caused her to fall on Best Actor Su.
nSu Jingting grabbed her, accidentally removing Xia Yishan’s hairband.
nHer hair was messy, and the actor was pushed onto the ground.
nAs both of them fell to the floor clumsily, Xia Yishan’s forehead hit Su Jingting’s chin….
n“Ouch!”
nHaving been tossed in the air, the bouquet fell back down and hit Xia Yishan’s head…
nThud!
nXia Yishan slammed into Su Jingting again as she lifted her head.
nSu Jingting inhaled sharply.
n‘Ow, that’s a little painful…’
nHe protected her with his arms instinctively, covering the girl’s face.
n“Ahhhh!!!”
nThunderous screams came one after another. All of their phone’s cameras were pointing at the duo.
nThe principal was dumbstruck as soon as it began.
nAssistant Sun experienced chaos like this in the past. He showed up to sort things out immediately, sending the duo out of the auditorium in one piece. Meanwhile, Su Jingting wrapped his arms all the way around Xia Yishan, keeping the students from seeing her face.
