Chapter 598: Is Shen Xi Staying in This Room?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Xixi, are you into celebrities?” Zhang Lan tried to start a conversation with Shen Xi.

Any random person on the street would know who Fu Qingye the Movie Star was. Even if they did not know him, they would have heard his name as the greatest Chinese film star in movie history.

“No,” Shen Xi politely replied.

Turning a blind eye to Shen Xi’s snub and distancing, Zhang Lan kept creeping up and said, “I’m an avid fan of celebrities. My favorite singer is Qi Xiu and if it’s an actor, it has to be Qingye.”

Shen Xi faintly acknowledged.

With a smile, Zhang Lan put herself out there and kept going about Fu Qingye so as not to let the conversation dry up, albeit she was cursing Shen Xi a thousand times in her mind. Shen Xi must think she was all that because she had a bit of money and talent. What a stuck-up b*tch.

Wait and see. The first thing Zhang Lan was going to do after she had Yu Yuanxi in the bag was kick Shen Xi out.

The duo’s rooms were on the 3rd floor, with one staying on the left while the other on the right.

Shen Xi halted her footsteps and nodded at Zhang Lan before pointing to the left. “I’m heading this way.”

Although Shen Xi’s attitude was getting on Zhang Lan’s nerves, the latter pulled all the stops to flatter her. Zhang Lan drew close and asked, “Xixi, can you give me your brother’s contact number? I have a few questions I need to consult with him.”

Shen Xi bluntly refused, “No.”

With that, she spun on her heels and took off.

Flushing in rage, Zhang Lan gnashed her teeth as she scowled at Shen Xi’s aloof figure, dreaming of tearing her apart with her bare hands. Who did she think she was? A day would come when Zhang Lan would put Shen Xi in her place!

If not because of Mom, Shen Xi would not waste a breath with the likes of Zhang Lan. The bitter and petty snob was such a turn-off.

On her way back to her room.

Looking rather excited, Ruan Xiaoxiao was the first to bolt to Shen Xi. “Have you heard, Xixi? Qingye is shooting a film at our school!”

Jiang Xuanxuan was over the moon. She showed a picture on her phone to Shen Xi. “Look, look, Xixi! I got a picture of Qingye. Am I great or what?”

Shen Xi was caught between laughter and tears after taking a look. Sure, Jiang Xuanxuan managed to snap a picture, but it was only the back of Fu Qingye’s head. Anything below the back of the head was a sea of people.

“That’s a shame. I would’ve pushed to the front if I tried better.” Jiang Xuanxuan looked down on her own puniness.

Shen Xi burst out in laughter. Her roommates were a lovely bunch. She encouraged Jiang Xuanxuan. “You should work on it.”

Gazing at Shen Xi with sparkling eyes, Jiang Xuanxuan probed, “Did you meet Qingye? Do you want to go and greet him?”

Ruan Xiaoxiao gave Jiang Xuanxuan a nudge and embarrassedly explained. “We don’t mean anything. Can you help us to take a picture if you have a chance to see him?”

The pair was hesitant even when they were discussing this for a long time. However, they still felt bad since they had just become roommates with Shen Xi and were not close enough to bug her.

“We’ll buy you dinner.” Jiang Xuanxuan bobbed her head.

“I have a working relationship with him.” Shen Xi smiled. “I’ll definitely get a picture for you when I have a chance to meet him.”

Ruan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan were quick to express their gratitude. These words alone were enough for them to walk on air. They knew better than to expect more.

Once they were close and got along better, they could try to take it up a notch and add an autograph or so.

Shen Xi was fond of people with tact, unlike Zhang Lan who did not know how to take a hint and kept pushing her luck.

Ruan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan straightened out their stuff and packed items on the school list permitted for the military training in their backpack before turning to Shen Xi. “Xixi, we’re going to get sanitary pads. Do you want to come along?”

Shen Xi shook her head. “You guys should go ahead. I’m going to lie down for a bit.”

Madam Yun had already prepared the sanitary pads and whatnot for her.

“See you.” The girls were talking about the brands they used and their advantages when they ran into a person at the entrance.

“Excuse me, is Shen Xi staying in this room?” The man’s voice was like a breath of fresh air.

Lifting her chin, Ruan Xiaoxiao noticed a man’s face behind a mask and sunglasses. In a split second, her pupils dilated as she swallowed the word “Qingye” from escaping her lips. Her heart was beating so fast, it was nearly jumping out of her mouth.

Jiang Xuanxuan was a wife-figure fan of Fu Qingye. As a fan who could recognize her idol with just the back of his head, she was stumbling for words. “H-h-hubby!”

Fu Qingye was surprised people were able to recognize him despite his disguise. The girls were clearly his fans judging by their reaction. He repeated his question. “Is Shen Xi staying here?”

Having heard the commotion, Shen Xi put on her slippers and came out. There was a lot of traffic in the hallway and people were stopping to look at him. To prevent any unnecessary problems, she reached out to pull him in.

Ruan Xiaoxiao incessantly nodded as Fu Qingye was dragged away. “Yes, Shen Xi’s here. She’s here, alright.”

Shen Xi shushed the girls and told them to come in before shutting the door tight. It was dangerous for him to come here. Shen Xi’s muscles were tensing. “Why are you here? It’s broad daylight!”

She could guarantee there were at least ninety percent of the girls in school who were crushing on him, if not all. He was a major superstar after all. The girls would jump at him like a pack of hungry wolves.

After handing over a pink cotton candy to Shen Xi, Fu Qingye’s hand was free to remove his disguise. “I’m filming here but I heard you were heading to military training in the afternoon. I thought I might miss you if I came late.”

It was safer for him to come later, but word had it that the freshmen were taking the bus to the military base for their training at five.

He just removed his mask.

Starstruck, Ruan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan shrieked while holding their hands against their chest. Oh gawd! He was a Greek god in the flesh.

He was way better looking in person than on TV and posters. It was true that he was not photogenic!

“I bought some bubble tea.” Fu Qingye bought three cups and handed the first bubble tea to Shen Xi before leaving the last two to the roommates. “I don’t know what you like so I bought the shop’s best-sellers. I hope you like it.”

Not only was Fu Qingye standing before them, but he was also smiling at and handing them the bubble tea he bought.. It was an understatement to say that Ruan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan were on cloud nine.
