The small round table originally designed to accommodate four people now accommodated more than one person.
In addition to the original three people, there was Lin Suicao and a petite girl.
"Hey, classmate Zhu Yu."
Zhu Yu has now more or less figured out the pattern of An Baizhi's speech.
When she speaks in this "modal particle plus person's name" format, the next sentence will often be secretly poignant.
"On my way here today, I never thought that the number of people would eventually expand to this point, right?"
"To be honest, I haven't thought about it either. Things in the world are so amazing."
Lin Suicao didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two of them. He scooped up two tablespoons of sugar and added it to the hot drink in front of him. He looked unhappy after taking a sip.
The girl next to her, Zhu Yu, had only met her once. She was probably the "acquaintance" named Zhou Yun, another member of the Film and Television Research Club.
She looked at the people around her with interest. She looked at Zhu Yu's face for a while, and then shifted her gaze to Xia Fenghe and An Baizhi.
An Baizhi asked: "Why are you here?"
"After all, this store is not far from the school, so it wouldn't be strange to encounter it here."
Lin Suicao replied calmly, and at the same time moved the milk that Zhu Yu had taken a sip from in front of Zhu Yu, and poured it into the still bitter coffee.
"But I still thought it was a coincidence when I found out."
Xia Fenghe squeezed Zhou Yun away and hugged his sister's arm skillfully, "Didn't you see us?"
"……No."
This is actually not a 100% lie, because from the position where Suicao is sitting, it is indeed blocked by the obstructing bookshelf, and the distance is far, so even the voices speaking here cannot be heard clearly.
Since he happened to "encounter" the other party in the matter, Zhu Yu told her about finding An Baizhi to participate in the role.
"Good thing!"
Before Lin Suicao could say anything, the little girl Zhou Yun responded positively first, "Thank you, senior, for helping me out of consideration for Mr. Cao!"
"Did I say yes?"
She glanced over coldly, but the other party didn't take it seriously, and went to Xia Fenghe with a smile to inquire about their relationship.
"call……"
Lin Suicao took a deep breath, "I said before that you don't need to worry about this matter."
She originally thought that the three people who met were really here to learn.
"Actually, An Baizhi herself really wants to experience the experience of making a short film."
Zhu Yu was as enthusiastic as a salesperson.
"Do I want to? Uh, yes, I want to ask Mr. Lin to help me with this."
An Baizhi glanced at him.
Lin Suicao's lips curved sharply: "Then why should I help you?"
"I heard Zhu Yu say that you are short of manpower to begin with."
"You really tell your classmates everything, boyfriend."
The last three words were spoken by her lips to Zhu Yubi.
Somewhat oppressive.
Lin Suicao crossed his legs and looked at An Baizhi: "Could it be that the real reason why Director Zhu cared so much about us before was because he wanted to promote my senior sister as the heroine?"
"He wanted to help you before I even mentioned it."
An Baizhi explained calmly, "Aren't you childhood sweethearts? You should trust each other more."
Lin Suicao narrowed his eyes: "You don't need to say this, I was just joking."
That tone just now didn't sound like a joke at all.
Zhu Yu comforted her: "An Baizhi is also a labor force that can be exploited. For you, why not use more people?"
"Am I going to be exploited?"
An Bai Zhi herself spoke quietly, but her opinions were ignored as always.
Suicao thought about it for a while: "I don't know why you seniors are so idle, but it's not a bad idea to agree to let her participate in the show - there's just an additional condition."
It was as if they were begging her for help.
"What do you think."
She looked at Zhu Yu: "I thought of a new experiential therapy."
"……good."
In this way, the dark deal was reached in the riddle between the two.
Once Lin Suicao relents, classmate Zhou Yun will naturally not have any objections.
After agreeing to discuss the script together next time, they disbanded.
"Why does Bai Zhi say you are childhood sweethearts?"
Before leaving, Xia Fenghe realized what had happened and was dragged back into the cafe by her sister to make a confession.
Zhou Yun, who looked familiar, sneaked up next to Zhu Yu and asked him what his relationship was with Mr. Cao.
When she realized that she had been being perfunctory, she angrily excused herself and left first.
In the end, only Zhu Yu and An Baizhi were left waiting for the bus under the roof of the cafe.
The clouds are like fish scales, and the wind will be strong in the coming day.
The cloud conditions that Zhu Yu saw when he went out, together with the current windy and rainy days, verified this saying.
He looked at the rain curtain hanging from the eaves and said to the girl beside him rather tragically: "An Baizhi, you must not disappoint my expectations. You must become a compelling movie heroine and realize your wish."
His state of mind at the moment may be similar to that of an agent who accepts the unwritten rules on behalf of the artist.
"I will work within the appropriate limits."
However, she obviously did not feel Zhu Yu's sacrifice.
An Baizhi held down the white boatman's hat to prevent it from blowing away in the wind.
Under the slightly lifted skirt, her fair and plain legs are exposed.
"Do you really think that if I participate in Lin's movie, I can leave a deep impression on everyone?"
"yes."
"Although I shouldn't say depressing words, they will also appear in the movie. My existence should be easily overshadowed. After all, you also said that I am average."
She stretched out her hand, and a drop of crystal clear rainwater fell on her soft palm, splashing into irregular water stains. "Then the trip will be in vain."
As a result, because her hands were off her head, the white hat was picked up by a gust of wind and passed over the girl's stretched out fingertips.
"What I'm talking about is your personality, not who you are as a person."
Zhu Yu grabbed the hat that fled like a bird and gently put it on her head. "As a person, I think you are calm and approachable. You are a very good friend."
He took back his hand: "Besides, he is good-looking. As long as the script is up to standard, he will definitely become an amazingly charming protagonist."
"Maybe by then, even in our grade there will be a lot of people who want to confess to you, and eventually the dean of students will hold a meeting to criticize the dangers of puppy love."
An Baizhi smiled softly: "That kind of thing shouldn't happen."
"Which one? Confession or a meeting?"
She didn't say anything, and continued to look at the rain curtain outdoors with concentration, her face still pretty and calm.
"Thank you, Zhu Yu. I think you are also a very good friend."
"That's how I always evaluate myself."
"It might be better if less of this was said."
An Baizhi suddenly turned her head, "By the way, the experiential therapy that classmate Lin mentioned before——"
"We should go back."
Lin Suicao took his sister's hand and came out of the cafe, interrupting her question.
