Chapter 82: Three People Watching a Movie

If Zhang Xiaofei heard Song Leitao's words, she would definitely feel deeply touched.

Now at the Film Academy, a saying has gradually spread that the 2005 acting class is the luckiest class, and also the unluckiest class.

The lucky part is that they are in the same class as Chen Nuo.

However, their greatest misfortune lies in this as well.

In the short term, no matter how great an achievement they attain, it is impossible to surpass this person. Even less can they replace his status in the 2005 acting class. All the starlight they radiate will be eclipsed in front of this sun that is in its prime.

Zhang Xiaofei thinks she doesn't even count as a star; at best, she's a firefly. In terms of appearance, although she's passable among ordinary people, in a place like the Film Academy, she fears that even dogs wouldn't look at her.

Among the girls in the 2005 class, there are new-generation little flowers like Yang Mi who have already acted in many dramas and are far ahead of the others, there are class beauties like Yuan Shanshan who have sweet and lovely looks, and there are girls with distinct personalities like Wang Meng and Tang Wan.

What kind of flower is she, Zhang Xiaofei, here?

At most, a foxtail flower.

Let alone classmates, even the teachers don't really like her.

She even heard a teacher inadvertently mention that the reason she was finally able to get in was that someone appreciated her, found her pleasing to the eye, and gave her a hand.

Originally, Zhang Xiaofei didn't believe it; what virtue or ability did she have to have such face?

However, after that "Sun Chen" took the initiative to invite her to the cafeteria to eat, she had to believe it.

Because until now, who Professor Li Er's most proud student is has already become an open secret in the school. As everyone knows, Li Er was the chief examiner for their class's preliminary and secondary exams.

Zhang Xiaofei doesn't know if she's overthinking it, but anyway, besides this reason, she can't think of any other reason why this boy, who is the center of attention in the acting academy and was elected as the top school celebrity the moment he entered, would look at her differently? He drags her along to eat whenever he has nothing to do.

If you say this is because he's interested in her... Heh.

He just finished filming with Liu Yifei, who is known as the fairy and the recognized school beauty, playing Li Xiaolong Maiden and Yang Guo.

Are you kidding me?

Today, going to watch a movie together was also told to her three days in advance, and the pre-sale tickets were already bought. Three people are going together; besides her, the other one is his good friend Yang Mi, whom everyone knows.

The three of them chatted and laughed while going to the cafeteria to eat. As a result, Chen Nuo, a southerner, was freezing and said he was going back to the dorm to grab a pair of gloves, so the two girls waited for him downstairs.

While waiting, they started chatting.

Zhang Xiaofei isn't actually familiar with Yang Mi. They aren't in the same dorm, and this girl always has an indescribable "contrarian" air about her. When she talks to people, she's sharp and biting after just a few sentences. Perhaps she doesn't have malicious intent, but everyone keeps her at a distance because of it.

Actually, as long as one gets used to her way of speaking, Zhang Xiaofei feels this girl is quite easy to get along with.

"Is Chen Nuo sleeping up there? Why is it taking so long!" Yang Mi was wearing a red furry hat, her ears covered tightly on both sides, with two red fur balls dangling and swaying near her pointed chin.

"I guess he was delayed by something." Zhang Xiaofei was also quite cold, but after all, she was a Northeasterner and had a slightly stronger resistance to the cold than the people of Jingcheng. With the addition of a hat, scarf, and thermal pants, she felt it was okay.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes and hummed, "Yang Guo is just amazing." Zhang Xiaofei chuckled and didn't chime in, knowing this was banter between friends; it was better for her to participate less.

Sure enough, when Chen Nuo came down, Yang Mi immediately called out, "Great Hero of the Condor, Xiang'er pays her respects here. Xiang'er is almost frozen to death. Great Hero of the Condor, don't you feel any heartache at all? Is it that you only have your Aunt in your heart?"

Yang Mi treats him less and less like an outsider now, and she's getting crazier in front of him. Chen Nuo has long been used to it and replied indifferently, "Yeah, it's a pity Aunt went to Japan, otherwise would it be your turn, you little brat, to accompany me to watch a play?"

Yang Mi sneered, "When we were living together, you called me 'Little Sweetie,' and now that you have Li Xiaolong Maiden, you call me a 'little brat'?"

Chen Nuo couldn't help but laugh, "If you still want me to call you 'Little Sweetie,' then please pay me the rent first. Same as before, 400 a month."

Yang Mi also laughed, "I only gave it to you once, and you still remember it's 400. I might as well tell you the truth now: I actually paid 100 less at the time. When I rented a room from Uncle Zhang, I gave a total of 800, and you let me live in the master bedroom. By rights, I should have given you 500, but I thought at the time that you definitely wouldn't know, so I saved where I could, haha."

So there was such a mystery. No wonder when he collected the money at the time, he saw Yang Mi breathe a sigh of relief; he thought she was relieved because she had paid the money, but he didn't expect she was relieved because she saw he was foolish.

Zhang Xiaofei listened from the side. Originally, she thought the two were joking, but hearing the end, she couldn't help but ask, "You guys really lived together?"

Yang Mi said with a grin, "Yeah, listen to me tell it slowly..."

The three of them chatted like this while heading to the cinema.

The movie session started at 7:00. When they arrived, there were still more than twenty minutes before it started, so the few of them weren't in a hurry and sat on the chairs in the waiting area.

Yang Mi was still telling Zhang Xiaofei about the embarrassing things when Chen Nuo was practicing singing, but after a while, she spoke softer and softer, whispering, "Why do I feel like they are all looking at us?"

There weren't many people in the waiting area at this time. In fact, before *Avatar* came into being, most Chinese people didn't have the habit of consuming in cinemas.

Therefore, even on the first day of the release of Peter Chan's latest masterpiece, at this mealtime, there were only about ten people waiting to enter. Among them were men and women, but most were girls in their 20s.

Zhang Xiaofei reacted quickly. Her eyes glanced at Chen Nuo's face, and she immediately realized, asking urgently, "Chen Nuo, why didn't you wear sunglasses?"

Chen Nuo only then reacted. His sunglasses were still in his pocket, and he immediately took them out and put them on.

Yang Mi couldn't help but complain, "What are you doing? Do you still want to watch the movie or not? Hey, Singer Chen, you still need to have some self-awareness as a big shot."

Chen Nuo really forgot, because until now, he didn't think of himself as any kind of star.

Although the diaper commercial he filmed had been playing on a loop during cheap time slots on major TV stations recently, and his line, "Dry and comfortable, xxx," had somewhat become deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But no matter what, he felt he should put them on now.

The reason was that on the *If Love* poster behind him, besides the front-facing Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhou Xun and Jacky Cheung on both sides, there was another person's face in the right corner. Although it was smaller than Jacky Cheung's face, it was still clearly visible.

It was him, Chen Nuo.
