Don't you read the "Criminal Law" when you're out and about?

Good!

His fists clenched again.

Bai Youlou was already a head taller than the other person, who was only a little over 1.7 meters tall. He towered over him with a malicious grin, his fists making cracking sounds.

Old Zhou beside him was also no ordinary person in terms of physique, wearing a sinister smile as he advanced with Bai Youlou.

Seeing these two characters who looked like trouble closing in, Lu Wenyuan started to lose his composure.

The only reason he wasn't backing down further was that he didn't want to lose face in front of An Luning.

But if he actually got beaten up by these two… what if his face was disfigured? The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he couldn't help but shiver.

At this moment, he finally remembered Bai Youlou's current situation.

He wished he could slap himself.

Why would a perfectly good piece of porcelain collide with a clay pot! Was there something wrong with his brain?!

"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"

At this moment, Lu Wenyuan had a bit of a brave front, but his heart wasn't in it.

What chilled him even more was that he was about to be beaten, and An Luning beside him didn't step in to stop it, just watched these two villains approach.

Say something, quick!

An Luning's eyes were still wide open, full of confusion: NPCs actually spawned… so amazing~

Fortunately, she didn't need to save him.

Seeing that the guy was so fragile, Bai Youlou lost the fun of teasing him further.

As for beating people, that idiot's brain was fried from being in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry's background couldn't do anything to Bai Youlou, but the police could grab him and throw him into a dark room for fifteen days of reflection!

He came out to play without reading the Criminal Law?

He could spare fifteen days after his movie was finished… but not right now.

Bai Youlou, being an old hand, actually had more dignified ways to deal with these idiots who wanted to show off in front of a girl.

But there was no need.

This method was so much easier. The barefoot aren't afraid of those wearing shoes.

He knew the entertainment industry's nature all too well. Even if they were tearing each other apart behind the scenes, they still had to maintain a certain decorum.

Especially celebrities under the spotlight, they carried too much baggage.

In this context, the advantage of "going crazy" was huge.

Seeing that the other party had already backed into a corner, he shook his head and signaled Old Zhou, preparing to leave.

Old Zhou's feet seemed rooted to the spot. He winked at Bai Youlou, as if to say, There's still a beautiful girl here~ Aren't you going to talk to her?

Bai Youlou waved his hand: This girl is a bit dumb, not good for the kids' genes.

After a coded exchange, the two, with arms slung around each other, staggered away. Only then did An Luning react.

"Hey!"

Unfortunately, Bai Youlou didn't even turn his head. He raised his hand and gave her a casual wave goodbye.

He was so nonchalant, but An Luning seemed a bit stubborn. She hitched up her skirt and was about to chase after them.

Fortunately, at this moment, her agent finally appeared.

This older sister grabbed An Luning's arm, "Luning, what are you doing?"

An Luning stomped her foot. Her big eyes were full of anxiety, giving her a look that made one want to protect her. She didn't even know why she was so anxious, "Bai Youlou…"

"My ancestor!" Hearing the name and seeing Bai Youlou's retreating figure, An Luning's agent instinctively shivered, wishing she could cover her mouth.

"Don't you dare get involved with him!"

A female celebrity, especially a young one!

Getting associated with the name Bai Youlou… great, endless rumors would follow.

To put it bluntly, even if this guy did drugs, it wouldn't be as damaging as this.

Of course, the former deserved to die more, but at least it wouldn't have such outrageous consequences for others.

Describing Bai Youlou as a mop dipped in feces was accurate. This guy now had shit on the mop handle too; whoever touched it would stink.

The agent's persuasion managed to calm down the somewhat hot-headed An Luning.

Huh?

What was I doing just now?

Chasing after him to say what?

Did you eat? How have you been lately?

Thinking of this, Bai Youlou's gaze suddenly flashed in An Luning's mind, a look like she was looking at an idiot, just like she had looked at Lu Wenyuan earlier.

Then, she felt so ashamed that her face turned red again.

"So embarrassing! I hope he doesn't tell anyone."

No, that's not right! I actually wanted to ask Bai Youlou what was going on with that whole situation.

An Luning felt that even though she hadn't accepted his confession before, they were at least friends, probably.

Since they were friends, if something like this happened, she should at least ask what was going on.

They didn't have each other's contact information, so they couldn't call to communicate.

As she thought about it, An Luning gradually lost confidence in whether she and Bai Youlou were even friends.

Friends without even contact information? And she felt like Bai Youlou seemed different from before.

Old Zhou, looking back at the scene, felt a sense of emotion.

Unbelievable!

He couldn't win her over when he was doing well, but now that he was ruined, he might have won the beauty's heart?

An Luning's expression, so anxious, her face flushed red; anyone who didn't know would really think she had a crush on Bai Youlou.

Could it be that this kind of fall from grace, from clouds to mud, had sparked the girl's pity? Was her maternal instinct triggered?

What nonsense!

What a melodramatic plot.

Even the "plot" just now was ridiculous. A handsome, warm guy appeared next to the white moonlight goddess. Logically, it should have highlighted Bai Youlou, the "loser," as even more pathetic.

But this "loser" turned out to be a rabid stray dog, and the melodrama turned sour~

"She was calling you, why didn't you respond to her?" Old Zhou couldn't help but ask after they left the teaching building.

Bai Youlou was already thinking about the movie at this time. Hearing his question, he pouted, "She's just slow on the uptake. That girl has a look of pure stupidity in her eyes. What's there to talk about with her?"

"You could explain to her that you didn't sleep with that person."

Old Zhou was still concerned about Bai Youlou's "love" at this moment and quickly added.

Bai Youlou chuckled, "Who says I didn't sleep with her?"

"Holy crap?! Did you or didn't you sleep with her?"

"No~"

"Damn it..."

"If this movie doesn't work out, I'm going to write a book about my 'King Cao' love story with that woman. It'll be epic."

This time, Old Zhou was convinced!

He gave a thumbs up.

He really wanted to give Bai Youlou an award.

At the same time, he felt a bit more confident.

With such a shameless guy, if he didn't succeed, who would?

He couldn't help but sigh again, "You've got some backbone. An Luning has money and influence. If I were you, I'd definitely try to get close to her."

Bai Youlou was taken aback, "What are you talking about?"

"Her company's name is Huaxing Entertainment. It's practically the leading company in the domestic entertainment industry. What a great film distribution channel..."

Bai Youlou chuckled, waved his hand, and strode away.

His retreating figure, in the evening breeze and sunset, looked particularly cinematic, with a touch of art-house film style.

Of course, if Old Zhou had walked a bit faster and gotten in front of Bai Youlou, he would have seen the look of agony on his face.

Why pretend to be so cool...

But then again, whether it was fate giving him a cheat code or him truly being the protagonist, he didn't know.

The classroom Director He found for them to scout for the filming location was on the same floor as An Luning's rehearsal for the school anniversary program.

The music room and dance studio were on the same floor, which made sense.

When Bai Youlou and Old Zhou went to check out the location the next day, a pair of deer-like eyes were secretly peeking at him from the end of the corridor on the same floor for about ten seconds.

She probably thought she was hidden well, but in reality, both Old Zhou and Bai Youlou noticed her.

As Old Zhou lit a cigarette, he slyly nudged Bai Youlou with his elbow, a mischievous grin on his face.

Bai Youlou didn't pretend to be aloof this time either. He turned his head openly to look at her.

After less than three seconds of eye contact, the girl couldn't take it anymore and vanished with a swish.

Old Zhou smacked his lips, "She really seems to have a thing for you."

This time, Bai Youlou didn't continue with the nonsense about "she has a crush on me." Instead, he shook his head, "Not likely. It's probably just pity mixed with curiosity."

Oh, playing it cool now~

Old Zhou didn't "expose" him. Instead, as if remembering something, he reminded him, "How's your ambiguous relationship partner doing now?"
