You're Out Here Mixing It Up, but You Don't Read the Criminal Law?

Great!

His fists clenched again.

Bai Youlou was already noticeably taller than the other man. The other man was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, making Bai Youlou more than ten centimeters taller. Looking down at him with an ill-intentioned grin, Bai Youlou's fists cracked loudly.

Old Zhou's build was no ordinary one either. With an insidious smile on his face, he advanced alongside Bai Youlou.

Watching these two men, who clearly didn't look like good people, close in step by step, Lu Wenyuan was starting to lose his composure.

The only reason he hadn't continued backing away was that he didn't want to lose face in front of An Luning.

But if these two thugs really beat him up... What if they hit his face and disfigured him? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help shivering.

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

He wished he could slap himself across the face.

Why had he gone looking for trouble with fine porcelain when he was just a clay pot? Was there something wrong with his brain?!

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

At this moment, Lu Wenyuan was putting on a fierce front despite feeling inwardly weak.

What chilled him even more was that he was about to get beaten, yet An Luning beside him didn't even step forward to stop them. She just watched helplessly as these two villains approached.

Say something already!

At that moment, An Luning's eyes were still opened wide, filled with confusion. An NPC really spawned! How amazing~

Fortunately, she didn't need to save him.

Seeing how easily this guy crumbled, Bai Youlou lost all interest in continuing to tease him.

As for beating someone up... Only an idiot whose brain had been ruined by the entertainment industry would do that. The entertainment industry's backing couldn't do anything to Bai Youlou, but the police could pin him down and toss him into a little jail cell for fifteen days of reflection~

You're out here mixing it up, but you don't read the "Criminal Law"?

Once he finished filming his movie, he could certainly spare fifteen days. For now, though, he couldn't.

As an old hand, Bai Youlou actually had more respectable ways to deal with this moron who wanted to show off in front of a girl.

But there was no need.

Wasn't this method much more convenient? Someone with nothing to lose didn't fear someone with something to lose.

Bai Youlou knew the entertainment industry's nature all too well. Even if people fought until their brains were spilling out in private, they still had to maintain the proper decorum.

Especially celebrities under the spotlight. They had too many burdens to carry.

In such circumstances, the advantage of "going crazy" was enormous.

Seeing that the other man had already been driven into the corner by the wall, Bai Youlou shook his head, called Old Zhou over, and prepared to leave.

But Old Zhou's feet seemed rooted to the ground. He shot Bai Youlou a meaningful look: There's still a gorgeous girl here~ Aren't you going to chat with her?

Bai Youlou waved his hand: This girl's a bit stupid. She wouldn't be good for the children's genes.

After a round of encrypted conversation, the two men slung their arms around each other and staggered away. Only then did An Luning react.

"Hey!"

Unfortunately, Bai Youlou didn't even turn his head. He raised a hand and waved at her in a carefree farewell.

Bai Youlou was so carefree, but An Luning seemed a little dense. She hiked up her skirt and tried to chase after him.

Fortunately, her manager finally appeared at that moment.

The older woman grabbed An Luning by the arm. "Luning, what are you doing?"

An Luning stamped her foot, her large eyes filled with anxiety. She looked truly pitiful, although she didn't even know what she was anxious about. "Bai Youlou..."

"Oh, my ancestor!" At the sound of that name and the sight of Bai Youlou's back, An Luning's manager instinctively shuddered. She wished she could reach out and cover An Luning's mouth.

"You absolutely mustn't get involved with him!"

A female celebrity—and a young female celebrity at that!

The moment her name became connected with Bai Youlou's, endless scandalous rumors would be waiting for her.

To put it harshly, even if that bastard were using drugs, it wouldn't be as destructive as this was.

Of course, the former deserved to die even more, but at least it wouldn't cause such an outrageous impact on other people.

The comparison of a mop smeared with feces suited Bai Youlou perfectly. These days, even the mop handle was covered in filth. Whoever touched him would stink.

After a round of persuasion from her manager, An Luning, whose mind had been running hot, finally calmed down.

Huh?

What had I been doing just now?

What was I going to say after catching up?

"Have you eaten? How have you been lately?"

At that thought, Bai Youlou's eyes suddenly appeared in An Luning's mind—the kind of gaze that seemed to regard someone as an idiot, just like the way he had looked at Lu Wenyuan moments ago.

Her face flushed red again from embarrassment.

This is so humiliating! What if he tells someone else?

No, that wasn't right! She had actually wanted to ask Bai Youlou what had happened with that matter.

An Luning felt that although she hadn't accepted his confession before, the two of them could still be considered friends, more or less.

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

The two of them didn't even have each other's contact information, so they couldn't call to discuss it.

As she thought about it, An Luning gradually lost confidence in whether she and Bai Youlou really counted as friends.

Friends who didn't even have each other's contact information? And she felt that Bai Youlou seemed different from before.

Old Zhou, who had turned back and witnessed this scene, was filled with emotion.

Ridiculous!

When things had been going well, Bai Youlou had confessed and failed. Now that he was ruined, he might actually have won the beauty's heart?

With the way An Luning had looked so anxious, her face flushed red, anyone who didn't know better might really have thought she had a crush on Bai Youlou.

Could it be that Bai Youlou's fall from the clouds, plummeting hard into the mud, had stirred up this girl's sympathy? Had it awakened her maternal instincts?

What bullshit!

What kind of melodramatic romance plot was this?

Even the "plot" just now had been ridiculous. A handsome, warmhearted man had appeared beside the goddess of someone's unrequited love. Normally, that should have made Bai Youlou, the "loser," look especially miserable.

But this "loser" was actually a stray dog infected with rabies. Even the melodrama had taken on a different flavor~

"The girl called out to you. Why didn't you answer her?" After leaving the school building, Old Zhou couldn't help asking.

Bai Youlou had already begun thinking about the movie. Hearing the question, he curled his lips. "She's just slow on the uptake. There's a clear, stupid innocence in that girl's 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 genuinely concerned about Bai Youlou's "love life" at this point, so he hurriedly added that.

Bai Youlou gave a sly grin. "Who said I didn't sleep with her?"

"Holy shit?! Did you sleep with her or not?"

"Nope~"

"Damn it."

"If the movie doesn't get off the ground, I'll publish a book instead. I'll write about my 'Cao thief love story' with that woman. I guarantee it'll be stirring and epic."

This time, Old Zhou was completely convinced!

He gave Bai Youlou a thumbs-up.

He really wanted to present Bai Youlou with an award.

At the same time, he gained a little more confidence.

With a shameless bastard like this, if he couldn't succeed, who could?!

He couldn't help sighing again. "You've got quite a bit of backbone. An Luning has both money and influence. If I were you, I'd definitely stick close to her."

Bai Youlou froze. "What are you talking about?"

"The company behind her is called Huaxing Entertainment. It's practically the top leading company in the domestic film and television industry. What an excellent distribution channel for a movie..."

Bai Youlou gave a dry laugh, waved his hand, and strode off.

Against the evening breeze and sunset, his back looked especially cinematic, carrying the air of a literary film.

Of course, if Old Zhou had quickened his pace and walked around to Bai Youlou's front, he would have seen the grimace of pain on his face.

Why did I have to show off like that?

Still, whether Heaven itself had decided to give him a cheat or he truly was the protagonist, no one knew.

The classroom Director He had found for their filming happened to be on the same floor where An Luning was rehearsing for the school anniversary program.

The music room and dance room being on the same floor made perfect sense.

When Bai Youlou and Old Zhou went to inspect the location together the next day, a pair of fawn-like eyes secretly peeked at him from the end of the corridor on the same floor for more than ten seconds.

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

When Old Zhou lit a cigarette, he wore a mischievous grin and secretly nudged Bai Youlou with his elbow.

Bai Youlou didn't bother pretending to be deep or aloof. He simply turned around and openly looked at her.

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

Old Zhou smacked his lips. "She really does seem to be a little interested in you."

This time, Bai Youlou didn't continue spouting nonsense about "her having a crush on me." Instead, he shook his head. "Not likely. Most probably, her sympathy has run wild, along with her curiosity."
