Good Girls Don't Miss Out

"What happened with Reba?"

Zhang Yang leaned back on the sofa, thinking carefully.

The moment he obtained Opportunity Points in the first opportunity was when Hu Ge, following Liu Shishi's suggestion, asked him if he wanted the male second lead role in Xuanyuan Sword.

At the time, he had guessed that sending the Scripture Pavilion to Liu Shishi to gain her favor was secondary. The real goal was to use it to facilitate something, like having her vie for a role for him, which would be a perfect grasp of this opportunity.

But after all, it was his first time securing an opportunity, so he couldn't be completely sure his analysis was correct.

Therefore, this time, he was consciously paying attention to when the Opportunity Points appeared.

"When I lent Reba the book, the Opportunity Points didn't appear."

"When I guided the events forward and offered to help her find the book at the library, the Opportunity Points still didn't appear."

"When I found the book for her at the library and sent her a message, the Opportunity Points still hadn't appeared."

"But now they have."

Zhang Yang glanced at his watch and realized it had been exactly five minutes since he sat down in the library.

This meant that something had happened on Reba's end during this time.

He could ask Reba about the specifics when the time was right.

"It's a bit like a single-player game, quite interesting."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment, put Reba's textbook into his bag, and got up to leave.

Since he had already obtained the Opportunity Points, there was no reason for him to wait for Reba to exchange books.

If he returned the book today, he would lose the reason to meet her next time.

If he didn't return the book, he could keep her thinking about it, prompting her to contact him often and deepen their relationship.

Zhang Yang was well aware of these little tricks.

He went straight out of school, took a taxi to Tangren, walked into a nearby coffee shop, and ordered a private room. There, he drank coffee and wrote scripts on his laptop.

As a reborn individual with enhanced memories of the future entertainment industry, he could easily make it on his own without relying on cheats.

Capital big shots were like Gao Qiqiang, and the entertainment industry was like Jinghai. Top stars, movie kings, ratings guarantees, box office guarantees, and so on, all had to bow their heads to capital.

Half an hour had passed since he obtained the Opportunity Points. He took out his phone and composed a text message.

Zzzzz~

In a classroom at Shanghai Theatre Academy, Reba felt her phone vibrate on her lap.

She was currently taking an open-book pop quiz, and with Zhang Yang's textbook, she was writing as if divinely inspired.

She knew her score today wouldn't be bad, so her mindset was calm.

Glancing at the podium and confirming that Teacher Jiang was looking at some documents, Reba tapped on her phone.

[Senior Student Zhang Yang]: Junior student, I probably won't have time to exchange books with you today. The company suddenly wants to talk to me about work. Sorry about that.

"No time to exchange books?" Reba blinked, feeling a hint of secret delight.

She thought it was good that they couldn't exchange the book, and ideally, they wouldn't for a while.

The reason was definitely not that she thought this would give her a chance to get closer to Zhang Yang; she simply enjoyed the feeling of cheating.

[Junior Student Reba]: It's okay, Senior Student. We can arrange a time and place tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that. We're both on campus, so meeting up is easy.

[Senior Student Zhang Yang]: Let's hope so.

[Junior Student Reba]: Let's hope so?

[Senior Student Zhang Yang]: The company wants to talk to me, likely about work. I might have to join a crew, which could delay things for quite some time.

[Junior Student Reba]: Join a crew? Senior Student, are you filming a new drama?

[Senior Student Zhang Yang]: Yeah, I don't have classes today. I came to school just to get leave approved.

[Junior Student Reba]: Good luck, Senior Student! Let me know when the TV series airs. I'll contribute to the ratings or online clicks for you.

[Senior Student Zhang Yang]: Is there a possibility that what I'm filming is a movie?

"A movie!?" Reba's breath hitched.

She wanted to break into the entertainment industry and knew better than most that movies were far more prestigious than TV dramas.

Was Senior Student that amazing!?

That made sense. With Senior Student's conditions and the praise from teachers, signing with a big company like Tangren and having the chance to act in a movie was quite normal.

Thinking this, she began composing a new message.

[Senior Student Zhang Yang]: You probably won't believe me, I was just joking. Actually, it's a self-produced drama by our company. I'm an artist under Tangren.

Reba: "..."

She silently deleted the half-written message and sent a new one.

[Reba]: I do believe you. So, Senior Student isn't as amazing as I thought.

[Zhang Yang]: Hearing you say that is a blow to my ego. It seems I still need to work hard. (Melancholy)

A slight curve of Reba's lips appeared unconsciously.

[Zhang Yang]: Junior Student, if I've calculated the time correctly, you should still be in class. You dare to play on your phone during Old Jiang's class?

Hearing this, Reba's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked up towards the spot next to the podium but didn't see Teacher Jiang.

A bad feeling arose in her heart. She turned her head a little too late and discovered Teacher Jiang standing behind her, staring expressionlessly at her phone screen.

"Sss!"

Reba was already quite thin-skinned. Caught cheating on an exam by chatting with someone, her face flushed all the way to her neck, her ears felt like they could bleed, and her mind went completely blank.

"T-Teacher, I…"

Reba didn't know what to say for a moment.

Teacher Jiang didn't scold her, a slight smile appearing on their face. "Your project is well done. You can chat, but you should finish the project first. What do you say?"

"Yes, Teacher!" Reba immediately replied.

Teacher Jiang nodded and walked back to their seat.

Seeing that they didn't seem too displeased, Reba breathed a sigh of relief.

[Reba]: Thanks to you, I was caught by Teacher Jiang. I need to finish my work now, let's chat after class. (Crying emoji)

"What a coincidence."

Zhang Yang found it amusing and let out a soft "ha."

She's even stopped calling me Senior Student and is just calling me "you." It seems there's some resentment.

Given Reba's personality, she'll definitely remember this and often think about it in the future.

This counts as a shared memory, doesn't it?

After a moment of thought, Zhang Yang sent a message to Teacher Jiang.

[Xiao Yang]: Old Jiang, don't make it difficult for her, it's my fault.

Teacher Jiang happened to pick up their phone and, upon seeing the message, a hint of a smile appeared in their eyes.

They glanced afar at Reba, who was now diligently answering questions, and picked up their phone to reply.

[Old Jiang]: You kid, you like her? Good taste.

[Xiao Yang]: Anyone with eyes can see this Junior Student is very good-looking and suited for the entertainment industry. Whether she can be a good actress is hard to say, but Old Jiang, you know me. I'm not considering these things right now.

[Old Jiang]: It better be that way. Reba blushes very easily; she's a pure, good kid. If you like her, pursue her openly and cherish her if you win her over. If you have no intentions, don't provoke her, or I'll teach you a lesson.

[Xiao Yang]: You have discerning eyes. A girl you approve of must be good. I'll seriously consider it.

[Xiao Yang]: But you have a new favorite already? Am I not your favorite student anymore?

[Old Jiang]: You're minoring in screenwriting. Is that how you use the term "new favorite"?

[Xiao Yang]: Oh, I was typing too fast and forgot to add quotation marks.

[Old Jiang]:

"This mischievous brat." Old Jiang chuckled and shook their head.

Handsome and sunny appearance, humorous and cheerful personality, diligent and motivated in studies, and great acting talent.

It's hard not to like a student like this.

Not many women can resist him either.

[Old Jiang]: Don't miss out on a good girl; cherish her.

"Hiss!"

Zhang Yang slapped the back of his own hand.

He got a little carried away and almost replied, "Don't waste a bad girl."
