Chapter 303: Green Water Ghost

At 4:00 PM, the scorching sun was no longer baring its fangs and brandishing its claws with such aggression; it seemed as if some of its vitality had been drained away, its radiance gradually showing signs of decline, and the surrounding air grew lazy.

After some preparations, all other scenes for the film crew were set aside to begin shooting Fan Bingbing's scenes.

In front of the camera, Fan Bingbing transformed into the image of an urban beauty, making a dazzling entrance in a floral maxi dress, every gesture and movement filled with a charm and elegance unique to women.

As for Huangmao Baoqiang, who had always regarded her as his dream lover, the moment he saw his goddess, he was first stunned into a statue, then ecstatic, and finally, he realized a dream he had long held.

He took intimate photos with the goddess and even gave her a spa treatment.

The scene was quite simple.

In just two and a half hours, all filming work was completely finished.

Behind the monitor, Xu Zheng was grinning from ear to ear.

"Finding Fan Ye was the right choice; the scene will definitely be explosive when the time comes."

After wrapping up, Fan Bingbing found Shen Yan and said with a beaming smile, "Little brother, since your big sister has done you such a huge favor, you at least have to treat me to a meal."

Shen Yan readily agreed.

Afterward, the two had dinner together at a nearby Western restaurant, and Shen Yan specifically ordered a bottle of '82 Lafite.

It cost 70,000 RMB.

At the dining table, Shen Yan nonchalantly swirled the wine glass in his hand, the brownish-red liquid circling slowly in the wine glass; Shen Yan first smelled the aroma in the glass, then took a light sip.

The entire scene was elegant and natural, as if he were not tasting fine wine, but savoring the true meaning of life.

A faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth, neither ostentatious nor pretentious.

It had to be said, there was a reason this stuff was expensive; the mouthfeel was full and smooth, the body was robust, and the fruity aroma was rich and lingering.

This scene was reflected in Fan Bingbing's eyes.

Under the soft, dim lighting, she felt that Shen Yan was like a prince from a fairy tale, noble and full of charm.

And when she noticed Shen Yan's empty wrist, she felt something was missing; after a moment of hesitation, Fan Bingbing took a box out of her handbag and pushed it toward Shen Yan.

There was a conspicuous crown logo on the box.

Shen Yan recognized it as the Rolex logo and asked what it meant.

Fan Bingbing raised her left hand, showing off a Rolex watch, and pointed to Shen Yan's wrist: "Don't you think something is missing there? Put it on and try it."

Shen Yan had realized this long ago, but he hadn't had the means to buy a luxury watch yet.

And not wanting to wear second-hand goods, he had put it off until now.

He opened the box.

Presented before his eyes was an exquisitely crafted Green Water Ghost watch; the dial and outer bezel adopted a unique green design, giving one a fresh and natural feeling.

In addition to the traditional hour, minute, and second hands, the dial was also equipped with a 24-hour hand and a 24-hour bidirectional rotating bezel.

Its appearance was indeed very nice.

It fit Shen Yan's aesthetic standards perfectly, but he didn't rush to put it on, asking curiously, "Why do you carry a men's watch with you?"

Fan Bingbing took a light sip of red wine and replied casually, "I originally intended to use it as an apology gift, but I've had a complete falling out with the other person now, so the watch couldn't be given away; if you like it, just take it."

Shen Yan did indeed like this watch, but he wouldn't accept a reward without merit, so he asked how much the watch cost; Fan Bingbing said it was about the same as the price of this meal, and since they were friends, giving a watch was no big deal.

Hearing this, Shen Yan didn't continue to decline.

He generously put the watch on his wrist.

People rely on clothes, Buddhas rely on gold—this saying was truly not false.

Once the luxury watch was on, Shen Yan's entire person radiated a unique charm and temperament.

He looked more mature, confident, and steady.

Fan Bingbing nodded with satisfaction: "That's more like it; when you go back to school, you'll definitely make those little girls swoon and throw themselves at you."

Shen Yan coughed twice: "I'm not that kind of person."

"Hehe!"

After the big meal, Shen Yan, Fan Bingbing, and her tag-along assistant returned to the hotel in a leisurely manner.

Little did they know, this scene was recorded in its entirety by a camera behind them.

That same evening, the well-known paparazzi Yang XX posted a huge scoop on Weibo, involving two videos: one video was of Shen Yan and Fan Bingbing entering and leaving the Western restaurant, and the other was of the two entering the hotel together.

Fan Bingbing had been wearing a mask and a baseball cap, making her face shape unclear, while Shen Yan had no concealment, his facial contours clearly visible.

Below that, they added text that left plenty of room for imagination.

"Well-known artist Fan Bingbing and a young handsome man had dinner together at a Western restaurant in Thailand, and then entered a hotel together; is a romance suspected to be exposed?"

When it came to the hottest stars in the entertainment industry today, it was definitely Fan Bingbing.

Once the video was released, it instantly caused a sensation on the internet.

Especially those male fans who were obsessed with looks, they were filled with righteous indignation and declared they would grind Shen Yan to dust.

"Sitting in the front row waiting for the gossip!"

"Ahhh! Someone tell me this isn't true."

"Looking at the silhouette, it really is Fan Ye."

"No way, no way, is the goddess really dating?"

"Don't do it, give me back my goddess."

"Who knows who the man is? I'm going to mail him ten pounds of razor blades."

"Wow! What a handsome young man!"

"Mom, I'm in love."

At the same time, this Weibo post was forwarded to the Hangzhou University forum.

In an instant, the forum, which had been as calm as a lake, was like a giant boulder being thrown into it, stirring up surging waves.

Then, the news spread to the class group for Law Class 1.

Xiao Chuchu: "My eyes seem to be hallucinating (staring blankly)."

Lin Yang: "Holy crap! Is this old Shen?"

Zhu Baoping: "You animal @Shen Yan, give me back my goddess."

Tang Song: "Calm down, it's just eating a meal together and entering a hotel together, it doesn't prove anything."

Luo Qiqi: "... This guy ran off to Thailand without a word, he really knows how to have fun!"

Huang Shuren: "Is it possible that it's Shen Yan's twin brother?"

At this very moment, ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through Huang Shuren's heart; he just knew this kid wasn't honest, talking about some bullshit cousin getting married, I don't believe a word of it.

"Ding-dong!"

"Ding-dong!"

"Ding-dong!"

Shen Yan, having just finished showering and walking out of the bathroom, listened to those urgent notification sounds and the ringing of incoming calls.

He frowned slightly.

He had a feeling that something bad had happened.

He picked up his phone and took a look; alright! He knew that getting involved with this girl would never lead to anything good.

Now he was completely famous.

Shen Yan dialed Fan Bingbing back directly.
