Chapter 1197: So, You Like Yun Liuli?

Yun Liuli looked up from her script and nodded. She asked, “Why?”

Fang Yan laughed. She recalled seeing Zhou Yuchen standing under the sunshine in the corridor when she walked out of their dean’s office yesterday.

The boy’s different colored eyes stared at her without shifting even for a moment, looking as if he had been waiting for her.

Perhaps because Zhou Yuchen’s appearance was simply too striking, Fang Yan walked over to him. “What’s the matter, Xiao Liuli’s classmate?”

“Yun Liuli said… she has someone she’s fond of. Is that the so-called public persona you created for her?” There was a look of anticipation in Zhou Yuchen’s eyes as he asked Fang Yan.

Fang Yan, who was standing in the shade, asked with a slight smile, “So, you like Yun Liuli?”

Zhou Yuchen clenched his fists by his sides. “She has someone she’s fond of?”

“Of course!” Fang Yan nodded.

Zhou Yuchen remained silent, seeming as if he had long known this fact.

After a long time, Zhou Yuchen raised his head and asked Fang Yan, “Can I be Yun Liuli’s assistant?”

“Do you want to enter the entertainment industry?” Fang Yan asked instead.

“I want to be Yun Liuli’s assistant. Please give me a chance.”

Fang Yan didn’t agree at the time, only leaving Zhou Yuchen a phone number. She asked him to consider if he wished to enter the entertainment industry or be a mere assistant. She asked him to call her after he thought it through carefully!

Now, thinking about it, Zhou Yuchen must have fallen for Yun Liuli. Perhaps the young fellow was thinking… that when Yun Liuli started getting busy, she wouldn’t have the time to return to school frequently. Due to that, they would have fewer chances to see each other, which was why he wanted to be Yun Liuli’s assistant.

Last night, when Fang Yan received Zhou Yuchen’s call, she pointed out a path to Zhou Yuchen. She said that Zhou Yuchen was still attending school now and couldn’t very well skip lessons just to become Yun Liuli’s assistant!

Therefore… she urged Zhou Yuchen to enter the entertainment industry and work hard together with Yun Liuli! With the two of them belonging to the same agency, there would be many opportunities for them to meet. What’s more, they would be senior and junior.

Actually, Fang Yan knew the truth and was merely comforting Zhou Yuchen…

Although they would both be entertainment artists, when things got busy, they weren’t really going to see each other all that often! It wasn’t as if they were a duo!

Although the concept of senior and junior might seem nice on the surface, plenty of people had never seen their seniors or juniors who belonged to the same agency.

Fang Yan snapped out of her trance and said to Yun Liuli, who was reading the script while lounging on the sofa, “When I went to your school, I ran into this Zhou Yuchen. I suggested he enter the entertainment industry. With his looks, it would be a pity for him not to!”

Yun Liuli was a little surprised. She nodded and said, “He’s very smart. During the last exam, he placed second and declared he was going to surpass me the next time!”

Fang Yan was tickled by Yun Liuli’s words. “You mean to say… that if he catches up to or surpasses your results, that means he’s smart?”

“Even smart people might not necessarily be able to surpass me, so that’s definitely impossible for stupid people!”

Little Meng thought to herself that this was perhaps the confidence of a victor!

Fang Yan chuckled. “However, this smart person told me he would consider it, but he has yet to call me. He probably isn’t keen on entering this line of work… Forget it, there’s no point in forcing things.”

Just then, Fang Yan’s phone vibrated in her hand, so she answered it. “Hello…”

It was silence on the other end. Fang Yan glanced at her phone screen and confirmed that the call was still ongoing, so she placed it back to her ear. “Hello?”

“It’s Zhou Yuchen. I agree to your proposal!”

On the other end, Zhou Yuchen’s voice sounded deep, with a hint of chilliness.

Fang Yan smiled. “Ok… Come to the agency and sign the contract when you’re free! I’ll send you the address!”

“I can’t for the time being! For the time being… I have something I want to do!”

“Ok! Then I’ll wait until you’re ready!”

After hanging up, Fang Yan looked towards Yun Liuli, shaking the phone in her hand. “That classmate of yours, Zhou Yuchen, will be your junior in the future…”

So long as Zhou Yuchen was willing to stand up by himself, Yun Liuli had no objections to whatever he did.

Yun Liuli merely couldn’t stand the way Zhou Yuchen let himself go and kept to himself.

After Fang Yan hung up, Yun Liuli’s phone rang…

Seeing that it was Zhou Yuchen who called, Yun Liuli answered it.

“I’m prepared to enter the entertainment industry like you!” There was a softness, a smile in his voice. “It’s just that I’m still at the Xiaos for the time being, and there are some things that I have to do. After I do those things… only then will I be able to join the entertainment industry and accompany you!”

“I’m not a child who needs someone to accompany her. If you’re going to enter this industry, I hope that it’s because you genuinely like it, not just for someone else’s sake!” Yun Liuli flipped to another page of the script.

Zhou Yuchen didn’t utter a word on the other end. He couldn’t resist coughing twice after a while. He asked, “What do you hope I do?”

“I hope you do something you like!” The clever Yun Liuli knew what Zhou Yuchen was doing this for, so she didn’t beat around the bush. “Zhou Yuchen, you’re my friend. I didn’t help you so that you would put me at the top of your considerations in everything you do, to make you prioritize me in your life! Friends are people who give you a hand when you have difficulty. I’m very happy to see you get back on your feet, and I don’t ask for anything in return! To prioritize me in all areas like this makes me feel burdened! This exceeds the scope of friendship.”

As a fellow clever person, Zhou Yuchen could understand the implied meaning in Yun Liuli’s words…

Yun Liuli was implying that she knew Zhou Yuchen liked her, but she could only regard Zhou Yuchen as a friend, that she hoped Zhou Yuchen could regard her as a friend too and not exceed the scope of friendship, else it would make her feel pressured.

Zhou Yuchen remained quiet but didn’t hang up.

Yun Liuli didn’t hang up either.

“Apart from my mother and nanny, you’re the only person who’s good to me. You’re also the only person apart from my mother… to say she wouldn’t abandon me!” Zhou Yuchen sounded a little choked.

Yun Liuli didn’t utter a sound, merely listening quietly to Zhou Yuchen…

“Thank you… Thank you for pulling me to my feet when I was muddling along without aim! I really love you very much! Really love you very much! I regard you as my everything! But… I now know I was narrow-minded in the past. I wasn’t trying to pressure you or possess you by treating you well… I was merely trying my best to be good to you! That’s all!”

Zhou Yuchen didn’t speak eloquently, making many halts before finally expressing his thoughts clearly.

“If you devote these feelings to Guan Nina, she would be happy!”

Yun Liuli said this because she clearly knew that Guan Nina could tell Zhou Yuchen had feelings for her, yet she still wished to pursue Zhou Yuchen.

After the call ended, the smart-as-a-whip Fang Yan could guess what Zhou Yuchen had said over the phone!

Fang Yan also knew that after what Yun Liuli said, it was certain she was going to lose a moldable talent…

She sighed internally. But how should she put it? Everyone had their own destiny. Fang Yan was never one to force someone to enter the entertainment industry.

…

Xiao family.

After hanging up the call, Zhou Yuchen stood before the window for a long time and couldn’t calm down. His heart felt a fiery pain, feeling as if acid had been splashed on it.
