Ye San Go To Yu City, President Fu Gives Present To Ouyang Ya
Fu Zhi felt the same way as Liu Mi. She tugged at Lu Nanli's sleeve, whose expression was sour, and asked, "What happened? You got what you wanted, so why are you still unhappy?"
"Think for yourself."
Fu Zhi fell silent and thought hard for roughly 10 minutes. After Lu Yumo finally calmed himself down outside the haunted house, he psyched himself up and went into the haunted house again to rescue Fu Zhi, who he assumed was being held hostage by ghosts and monsters.
Liu Mi got out of the car to give Fu Zhi and Li Nanli some space.
Inside the car, Li Nanli did not plan to talk to Fu Zhi at all. He sat with his back up against the cushion while keeping his eyes on the passersby outside. The warm light from the headlights of the car and the streetlights cast a halo of yellow light on his eyes.
Suddenly, Fu Zhi seemed to realize something and said, "Is it because I joined the cheerleading team?"
"Hmm…" Li Nanli's expression lightened a bit. "Not exactly."
'Not exactly? That means I'm half-right?'
Fu Zhi felt that reading the mind of a man was like searching for a needle in the sea.
"Then what?" she asked.
Not far away, Wang Yu and his team finally came out of the haunted house through the roller coaster, their shouts ringing in the air.
Li Nanli pulled an umbrella from the side of the passenger seat. As he handed the umbrella to Fu Zhi, he pulled her into his embrace and rested his chin on her shoulder, his breath warm and wet against her ear.
The snow became heavier, and Fu Zhi could see through the window that her friends were doing a headcount under the roof.
"If your brother and your boyfriend fell in the sea at the same time, who would you save first? Your brother or your boyfriend?" Li Nanli's voice wafted into Fu Zhi's ear.
Fu Zhi was speechless.
'Great, here comes the tricky question.'
Fu Zhi then replied with a question of her own. "Isn't it supposed to be my boyfriend and my mother?"
"I'll rephrase my question. If your brother, your mother, and I fell in the sea at the same time, who would you save first?"
Fu Zhi's eyes were glowing as she replied, "Actually, according to the new law that the government just introduced not long ago, I'm not obliged to save you, but I'd be breaking the law if I didn't save my mother!"
"That means you don't love me enough," Li Nanli said expressionlessly. "You're not willing to break the law for me."
Fu Zhi was left speechless again.
'Should I break the law for you?'
Li Nanli ran his fingers over her eyebrows and said, "I will forgive you this time, but next time…"
"Next time, I will save you after I save my mom," Fu Zhi answered before Li Nanli could finish his sentence.
Li Nanli nodded in satisfaction, and just as he was about to say something, she added, "Well, even my brother, who is bad at everything, knows how to swim, so I suggest you better not go so close to the river next time."
Li Nanli was stumped.

When Ye Jiu came out of the haunted house, he saw Fu Zhi and froze.
He did not blame Fu Zhi for leaving him alone in the haunted house, but…
Ye Jiu went forward and pinched Fu Zhi's chin. His beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "What happened? Why is there a wound on your lips?"
"Huh? Oh… I accidentally bit my lips while I was drinking milk tea," Fu Zhi replied. However, Ye Jiu was able to tell that she was lying, as her ears were red and she did not dare look him in the eye.
"Liar," Ye Jiu said as he pointed at Fu Zhi's head.
Fu Zhi raised her head and replied in a serious voice, "I'm not lying."
"Tsk." Ye Jiu clicked his tongue. He did not say anything else and just leaned over Fu Zhi. Then, he sniffed her shoulder like a dog looking for drugs.
The weather was cold in winter, and a thin mist would form whenever he took a breath.
Then, he pinched the back of Fu Zhi's neck.
"What are you doing? Let go of me," Fu Zhi said as she tried to push him away.
"Don't move." Ye Jiu warned her. "I have reason to suspect that you have a boyfriend on the side."
Fu Zhi froze.
Ye Jiu took another sniff and said in a grave voice, "Don't let me find out that you're seeing someone or buying things for him or her. If I don't have enough money to buy milk tea, I will break your bank card, you hear me?"
Fu Zhi's eyes widened in disbelief.
This was even worse than breaking her legs!

The Lu Family imposed a nighttime curfew on their children. They had to be home before 10 o'clock at night.
Thus, Song Fang, Fu Zhi, Lu Yubai, Lu Yumo, and Ye Jiu did not go to the karaoke and took a taxi home directly.
While they were on their way home, the more Ye Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that Fu Zhi was hiding something from him.
Therefore, he opened his WeChat and sent a message to Ye Shiyun. [You know what? I suspect that Fu Zhi is seeing someone.]

In a certain filming location in Z City...
It was very late at night, yet the filming location was filled with light. There were plenty of flowers in the corridor, and the air was permeated by the fragrance of flowers.
The assistant director ran all the way down the corridor hurriedly as he asked, "Where's the actress? Did you guys send someone to remind her? Why isn't she here yet?"
The producer replied, "She said she's not feeling well and she wants to rest today."
"No! I don't care what you guys do, but you have to make sure she will be here tonight!" the assistant director said, his voice filled with anxiety. "That person is already here. He's been waiting for more than 10 minutes and he's not happy right now!"
The movie was a historical film directed by a relatively well-known new producer. Today was the first day of the production, and the luxurious palace was filled with actors and actresses. The several leading actors had a big background, so the producer was not sure which one the assistant director was talking about. Thus, he asked, "Who?"
The assistant director rolled his eyes and said, "Ye San. Ye Shiyun."
'Oh, that one.' The producer nodded. Then, he replied, "Just tell him to stop making such a big fuss and wait a little longer. He is the actor with the worst acting skills I've ever seen, and all his fans are brainless. Without them, he'd be nothing. Besides, I remember Guang Yuan dissing him on Weibo several days ago? He even said that if Ye San doesn't quit acting, he will quit."
"So what? Do you know who is supporting Ye San? The Fu Corporation! Anyway, try to get the actress here as soon as possible!" The assistant director waved his hand in frustration. "I have to go back to him now."
When the assistant director rushed back to the set, Ye Shiyun was looking at his phone on a chair.
The light shone on his face and made him look even fairer.
The assistant director could understand why so many fans still loved Ye Shiyun despite his poor acting skills. After all, he would arrive at the set on time, which was something that many actors were not able to do.
Tapping on his phone, Ye Shiyun sent Ye Jiu a question mark.1
Ye Jiu replied, [Whoever that guy is, I suspect that he's getting close to her because he wants her money, and considering Fu Zhi's intellect, I'm sure she will give all her money to that guy.]
Looking at Ye Jiu's message, Ye Shiyun pressed his lips firmly and replied, [So are you saying that someone is scamming Fu Zhi out of her savings?]
[Yes! He took all the money that Fu Zhi was going to use to buy me milk tea!]
[Did she tell you anything about it?] Ye Shiyun asked.
[Hah! Of course she told me about it. She told me that I'm being delusional and she isn't seeing anybody! I'm confident that she's lying to me. She must have given a few bank cards to that guy! I can buy at least thousands of cups of milk tea with that money!]
Ye Shiyun scoffed expressionlessly. [That's it? That's the reason you messaged me? Do you know how much I could have earned while I'm talking to you?]
Ye Jiu was speechless.
Ye Shiyun added, [Give me her bank account number. I will transfer some money to her, so stop texting me.]
Ye Jiu was speechless again.
[Alright then. Don't come and cry to me when your sister gets cheated out of her money, body, and heart!]
Ye Shiyun fell silent after seeing Ye Jiu's message. Then, he remembered that a lot of girls committed suicide after getting deceived.
'Should I transfer money to her? But is Fu Zhi's mind that weak?'
Well, Fu Zhi did not have a weak mind, but things happened.
To prevent Fu Zhi from dying early, Ye Shiyun decided to go to Yu City to have a look at Fu Zhi tonight.
With that thought in mind, Ye Shiyun got to his feet and took his jacket from the hanger.
It was only then that the assistant director recovered from his reverie and came back to his senses. He walked up to Ye Shiyun in a panic and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Yu City."
"Yu City?! When will you be back? The leading actress is arriving soon, so why…"
"I don't like people who are not punctual. It's not very professional," Ye Shiyun commented. "If she doesn't change her behavior, you guys can just photoshop my face into the film."
The assistant director did not know what to say.
However, it seemed to him that there was still some room for negotiation. He walked up to Ye Shiyun and pressed on. "Did something happen in Yu City? Do you need me to send someone to help you?"
"A kid in my family is going through a rebellious phase," Ye Shiyun replied expressionlessly as he put on his jacket. "So I'm going back to punish her. As for you, who do you think you are to mess with my family affairs?"
The assistant director was left speechless again.
——
It was Friday when Hang Yuan went to No.1 High School, and they had two days off, Saturday and Sunday.
The atmosphere in the Mu Family was tense.
Mu Changqing had been facing a lot of problems recently, and Mu Chenxi was worried about his father.
Mu Changqing had been trying his best to get to Pure Feather, but to no avail. After all this time, he had to admit that, like his daughter had said, Pure Feather and Fu Zhi were good friends, and it was exactly because of Fu Zhi that Pure Feather did not want to cooperate with them.
After he heard Ouyang Ya's plan, he nodded and said, "I remember you having Ye Shiyun's WeChat. Isn't that right? Well, try to invite him over to Yu City. Tell him that we have a job for him, and I will take care of the rest."
"Don't worry, dad," Mu Chenxi said. "I already asked Ye Shiyun to come to Yu City. Although he isn't good at acting, he behaves well when he's working. He sets his phone aside at work, and I assure you that he will definitely come to Yu City when he sees my message."
****
It had been snowing the whole night, and Yu City was completely covered in a white blanket on Monday.
Fu Zhi, Lu Yumo, and Ye Jiu arrived at No.1 High School at the same time.
The students from Hang Yuan were welcomed by their teachers, who helped them settle down in class.
Perhaps Class 21 was the worst class in No.1 High School, as none of the exchange students came to Class 21.
Initially, Fu Zhi wanted to read Ouyang Feng's notebook, but before she could do it, the school authorities summoned all of them to the hall for an assembly. After the assembly, they were going to visit the museum in Yu City.
Su Xing was reading the book "Red Sun" in her seat, as No.1 High School required their students to read a book before the class started.
Their language teacher, Fan Gaoda, was suddenly appointed as a guide by Director Liu and was responsible for taking the students of the school to visit the museum.
Fan Gaoda was in his mid-forties and, compared to Ma Mingquan, who had a mild temper, he was kind of erratic. He liked to tease and mess with his students.
The director had considered it a lot before assigning him to be the guide.
Most of the students had not been to the museum before.
The museum was small but contained a lot of artifacts.
Fan Gaoda had prepared a script and was looking through it in front of Class 21.
Before they departed for the museum, every student in the school had to gather in the hall in advance to listen to Director Liu blather about matters such as watching the traffic lights, being safe when crossing a street, and so on.
Fu Zhi did not want to go to the hall or visit the museum. Just as she was about to say it, Fan Gaoda shot daggers at her and said, "I can forgive a certain girl for not wanting to read Pure Feather's works, but I will never forgive her if she refuses to go to the museum!"
He threw his script on the table and added, "Just take a look at your language paper result. I don't care what kind of reason you have. You're going to the museum today. You know what? You're going to the museum every day and you will study history every day until the day before the examination. I don't believe that you will still score a zero in my language paper!"
Fu Zhi did not know what she should comment on.
'If you and the other teachers did not give me zero marks, would I score zero in my language paper?'
That said, Fu Zhi did not argue with him and just followed the back of her class.
Class 21 was the last class to enter the hall. Since they were running short on time, by the time they got there, the speech had already started, and it was Ouyang Ya's turn to give a speech.
"I believe everyone has seen the news about the Fu Corporation on the internet lately. I personally appreciate President Fu's effort to secure our country's relics and his method of punishing the Ford Family. I'm fortunate enough to be his friend, and he has sent some gifts to the school that I invested in."
Ouyang Ya turned around and said something to Wu Zhiheng. Very soon, the presentation slides that Hang Yuan had prepared appeared on the screen.
