Chapter 169 Dormitory Turmoil: A Blame Falls from the Sky
Chapter 169 Dormitory Turmoil: A Blame Falls from the Sky
Xin Yujue was breathing rapidly and kept fidgeting with her fingers, looking very nervous.
"It's okay, this isn't an audition, it's just meeting the male lead," Ning Yao reassured Xin Yujue before walking ahead.
Xin Yujue remained standing there, her face showing a hint of composure. Indeed, she had only come to see her senior brother.
Shu Jing'an was talking to a few female students when he saw Ning Yao coming towards him from afar. He casually straightened his collar.
"Senior brother." Ning Yao greeted Shu Jing'an with a smile, her tone gentle.
Shu Jing'an nodded and gave a smile, but didn't say much.
"I'm sorry about what happened before. I apologize to you on his behalf. He's always getting jealous for no reason. He probably thinks you're interested in me." Ning Yao didn't say Wen Tingye's full name directly, but Shu Jing'an knew it.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Wen Tingye's actions. If he were Ning Yao's boyfriend, he would probably react more strongly if someone approached Ning Yao.
Because of liking someone, because of possessiveness, one loses control of their emotions.
Besides, he did indeed have feelings for Ning Yao.
"It's nothing, it's all in the past. You came here because of the role?" Shu Jing'an asked.
"No, I just came to apologize to you. Also, one of my roommates really likes you and wants to ask you for an autograph." After Ning Yao finished speaking, she raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear and added, "If it's convenient for you, senior."
Shu Jing'an was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected Ning Yao to have absolutely no interest in Director Guo's drama and not mention a word about the role.
"Okay, where should I sign it?"
"Here." Ning Yao took out the leather notebook Cui Mengmeng had given her, opened the first page, and saw a blank space framed by a black line.
Shu Jing'an wrote down his name and casually asked, "I'll be conducting interviews in the small conference room of the school's exhibition hall in a couple of days. Will you be coming?"
Ning Yao shook her head. She did want to act, but she had only just enrolled in school, had not taken any professional courses, and knew nothing about acting.
Disappointment flashed in Shu Jing'an's eyes. If he could, he really wished that the female lead in his play was Luo Xiyao.
"My roommate is still waiting for me, so I'm leaving now. I won't disturb your conversation."
Ning Yao took her notebook and turned to leave, but Xin Yujue didn't follow.
When Cui Mengmeng finally met Ning Yao, she smiled warmly, clutching her notebook tightly.
Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng were the first to become acquainted, and their friendship progressed very quickly, thanks in part to Shu Jing'an.
Two days later.
After receiving her textbooks, Ning Yao sat down under her desk lamp in her dormitory and began reading them after dinner.
"Yaoyao, the post about you on our school's online forum is gone." Cui Mengmeng said, holding her phone, seemingly surprised.
"Your original one is gone, but a new one has been added."
"In the freshman department beauty pageant voting, your ranking is quite low. Are those people who voted for Miao Yuliu blind?"
As Cui Mengmeng watched, she pouted somewhat unhappily.
Why is Luo Xiyao ranked lower? Cui Mengmeng hasn't seen anyone prettier than Luo Xiyao in this year's class.
"What's so strange about that? The performing arts department is known for its high concentration of good-looking people. There are beautiful and handsome people everywhere. When they are all similar, of course you will choose the one that is more beneficial to you."
"Most of the women were either jealous or forming cliques, and were bribed with money. As for the men, most of them saw that Luo Xiyao had a boyfriend and they didn't have a chance, so they turned to curry favor with other girls."
When Wenna lay on the bed and didn't make a sound, her presence was so minimal that the other people in the dormitory didn't even notice whether she was there or not.
"Why resort to so many tricks to choose the most beautiful girl in the department? Is it really meaningful to get a title through such means?"
Of course it's interesting. If a director were casting, they would naturally first learn about the outstanding students in the school.
Those who care about appearance will first focus on the most beautiful girl in the department, after all, the most beautiful girl in the performing arts department is a very obvious signboard.
"You don't even understand this?" Wenna scoffed, not intending to pay any attention to Cui Mengmeng.
Cui Mengmeng was disgusted by this behavior and casually made a couple of remarks, while giving her vote to Ning Yao without hesitation.
"Wenna, have you given out your tickets yet?" Cui Mengmeng, unaware that she was being disliked, still went up to talk to the person.
“I gave it to myself.” Wenna turned around, her back to Cui Mengmeng, and replied lazily.
Feeling embarrassed, Cui Mengmeng went to Xin Yujue, who was also flipping through professional books, and asked her if she had given the ticket.
Xin Yujue handed her phone directly to Cui Mengmeng and said calmly, "Not yet. Here's your phone. You can vote for whomever you want."
Cui Mengmeng got her phone back and had another vote, so she happily cast it for Luo Xiyao.
After a brief silence, Cui Mengmeng let out a strange cry, as if she had uttered a curse word in her local dialect.
The other three girls in the dorm all looked in her direction. Except for Ning Yao, the other two girls didn't look friendly.
"Cui Mengmeng, what are you yelling about?" Wenna kicked off her blanket and said coldly.
Xin Yujue frowned, but didn't say anything excessive. However, she was very curious about what Cui Mengmeng had seen that made her so excited.
"Why are there so many people cursing Yao Yao under the post?" Cui Mengmeng got angrier and angrier as she read, and she was about to throw her phone away.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao opened the forum and took a look.
Upon seeing this, a surge of anger quickly welled up within him.
【Luo Xiyao, I know Luo Xiyao. Isn't she that bar hostess? Look, I even have photos of her.】
[She must have had plastic surgery. Judging from her previous appearance, especially in profile, she definitely had her nose done.]
[Can a real person be that perfect? She must have had plastic surgery. With so many people supporting her, she probably couldn't afford the surgery.]
[The results are pretty good. I wonder which hospital she had the surgery at...]
[Ugh, who knows how many men she's slept with, yet she still acts all high and mighty. Shameless!]
I heard she's willing to do anything for a high enough price, and has even served a seventy-year-old man.
[Didn't President Wen personally come to the school to see her off? Many people saw it. How could President Wen possibly like a hostess?]
[Because she's a hostess, she's really good in that area. Don't men all like women who are skilled and satisfying?]
Does anyone have Luo Xiyao's contact information? I'd like to have her stay with me for a few days.
Ning Yao didn't care who the most beautiful girl in the department was, nor did she care that her votes were lower than Miao Yuliu's.
However, the malicious comments about her in the comments section made Ning Yao genuinely uncomfortable.
The so-called photos of her as a hostess don't even show her face; how can you judge it to be her based solely on a side profile and her back?
They even claimed she had plastic surgery and released photos of her supposedly from a year ago, but it's not the same person at all!
Does being flawless necessarily mean you've had plastic surgery? I'm sorry to say, Ning Yao is naturally beautiful and doesn't have the typical "internet celebrity" face that's had work done.
Seeing Ning Yao's pale face, Cui Mengmeng quickly poured her a glass of warm water and gently comforted her, "It's all nonsense, without any basis, don't take it to heart."
Xin Yujue put down her book and looked at Ning Yao. She also felt that the content of the post was excessive and completely fabricated.
"I have a friend who studies computer science. I'll ask him to help you look up information about this person who spreads rumors?"
Wenna objected, sticking half her head out from behind the curtains and raising an eyebrow, saying, "All you can find is the other party's IP address. What's the use of knowing the address? You can tell from this person's wording that this isn't the first time. You won't be able to catch him."
