Ye Zilang called Mu Chuwei twice in a row, but the call was always unreachable. He put down the phone helplessly and continued to search on campus.
I finally helped him solve a problem, but he just ran away without a trace.
Just when he was at a loss, a slender figure suddenly entered his sight. He looked closely and saw that it was the girl from before.
However, her appearance at the moment surprised him. He didn't know what happened, but she was soaked. Drops of water dripped from the ends of her hair and the corners of her clothes, making her look as charming as a lotus emerging from the water. He couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.
He subconsciously took a step towards her, with a look of tenderness and concern in his eyes, and called out: "Hey..."
He was about to call her, but she lowered her head without even looking at him, and quickly passed by him, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
Ye Ziran was stunned. He turned around and looked at her petite and lonely back. He wanted to chase her and find out what was going on, but his reason stopped him in time - it was more important to find someone first.
He continued walking forward for a while and finally saw the person he was looking for by the lake.
Seeing Mu Chuwei also soaking wet, an idea flashed through Ye Ziran's mind.
He walked over, stood beside Mu Chuwei with his arms folded across his chest, took a look at his miserable appearance, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked, "What's wrong? We haven't seen each other for a while, and our big star has become a drowned chicken?"
In response to his taunting, Mu Chuwei just sighed and said insincerely, "It was thrown into the lake by a little wild cat."
Ye Zilang asked, "Did you drag him into this?"
Mu Chuwei patted his shoulder with pretended emotion and said, "No one knows me better than Brother Zilang. By the way, I feel a little dizzy. I think I caught a cold from being in the water for too long. Considering that a cold, cough, runny nose, etc. will affect my image, how about postponing the announcements for the next two days and giving me two days of sick leave?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "sick leave".
Ye Zilang replied calmly, "It doesn't matter. If you work while ill, you will attract more sympathy and love from your fans. Their favorability towards you will definitely increase dramatically, and it will also make people in the industry respect you more. It's a win-win situation."
Mu Chuwei dropped his hands in disappointment and complained with disdain: "The newspapers are right, the agent is just an exploitation machine!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Ye Zilang smiled gently and politely. Before Mu Chuwei almost jumped over to strangle him, he added, "Do you hope that your reputation will fall apart and no one will care about you?"
"With my unparalleled looks, talent, singing voice and acting skills, is it possible?" Mu Chuwei said proudly.
Ye Zilang glared at him speechlessly and said, "The gossip magazines are right. Every celebrity is more narcissistic than the other. There is no most narcissistic, only more narcissistic!" At this point, he said seriously, "Just now your phone was not connected. Uncle Mu called me and asked you to go home to have dinner with him tonight."
Suddenly, Mu Chuwei's expression darkened, and he lowered his eyes slightly. He said "Oh", then took out the dripping mobile phone from his pocket and shook it in front of Ye Zilang: "The phone is scrapped."
Knowing that he was trying to avoid the topic, Ye Zilang frowned slightly and said, "Chu Wei, don't be like this."
Mu Chuwei reached out and casually patted his shoulder, saying, "I know what to do." As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Zilang, "Zilang, can you do me a favor?"
At the same time, Lin Lanzhi, who was also soaking wet, was tidying up in the bathroom. She stretched out her hands to smooth her messy hair, then lowered her head to look at her soaked clothes.
If she goes out like this now, people will definitely look at her as if she were a monster, and maybe she'll even be on tomorrow's school newspaper!
She wrung the clothes in distress, trying to squeeze out as much water as possible, but no matter how hard she tried, the clothes remained wet.
what can we do about it?
Just as she was hanging her head in frustration and thinking of a solution, a familiar figure walked towards her.
Ye Zilang was holding a bag and standing hesitantly at the door of the women's restroom. He had just heard from a girl that a girl who was soaking wet had entered the restroom, but he waited and waited but she never came out.
The girls passing by looked at him with surprise.
He stood there awkwardly, and finally couldn't help but called out loudly: "Lin Lanzhi, are you in there?"
"Student Lin Lanzhi?"
"Hey, is anyone in the bathroom ?"
No one answered him.
Is there no one in the bathroom?
He turned around with the bag and prepared to go back.
But then I thought again, that's not right, the girl just now clearly said that she saw a girl who was soaked all over walk in, and he also followed the water marks on the ground all the way there.
He took a deep breath and bravely barged into the women's restroom.
When he saw the soaking wet figure standing in front of the mirror thinking distressedly, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had made the right decision.
She looked so lonely and helpless, just when she needed help.
He raised the corners of his lips, trying his best to maintain an elegant posture, and called out softly in a calm tone: "Student Lin?"
However, Lin Lanzhi kept her head down, her shoulders seemed to be trembling, but she did not give him any response.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ye Zilang's dark eyes. He patiently called her again, "Student Lin Lanzhi?"
The result is the same as before.
He suddenly felt curious and a little confused, so he took two steps closer and stretched out his hand to her.
At this moment, Lin Lanzhi, who had been immersed in distress, sighed deeply and slowly raised her head, only to be surprised to find a man's figure in the mirror, and his hand was reaching out to her shoulder.
"ah!"
She exclaimed, turned around quickly, waved his hand away, looked at him defensively, and said, "What are you going to do? Get out!"
Seeing her shocked reaction, Ye Zilang breathed a sigh of relief, tried to keep a gentle smile, and explained: "Don't be afraid, I'm just here to bring you some clothes."
Lin Lanzhi was so flustered that she didn't pay attention to what he was saying. Besides, a man suddenly appearing in the women's restroom would really make people have bad thoughts, so she just kept waving her hands and repeating, "Get out! Get out!"
"I don't mean any harm, please don't get excited, okay?" Ye Zilang was helpless and had to step forward and grab her arm to stop her from getting excited. "Calm down! I really don't mean any harm, I'm just bringing you some clothes. You're soaked, you'll catch a cold!"
This time, Lin Lanzhi finally understood what he meant. She slowly calmed down and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "You...you came in to bring me some clothes?"
"Do you think I look like a gangster or a pervert?" Ye Zilang's face was full of hurt and helplessness. He handed the bag in his hand to her, "I chose a piece of clothing that is about the same size as your body. I don't know if it will fit you. Just make do with it."
Lin Lanzhi took the bag from him and looked inside. It was indeed filled with a piece of clothing. She felt even more guilty, blushing and whispering, "I'm so sorry for treating you like that just now..."
Ye Ziran smiled gently and said, "It's okay, your reaction is normal."
Lin Lanzhi stared at him intently and asked doubtfully, "How do you know..."
Before she finished, Ye Zilang understood what she was going to ask, so he said, "When I went to find Chu Wei just now, I saw that you were soaked. I greeted you, but you didn't seem to see me." He paused, then continued, "And I called you a few times just now, but you didn't respond..."
Lin Lanzhi was speechless for a moment. She had been distracted by what had just happened by the lake and had not noticed it.
She quickly apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
Ye Zilang smiled casually and said, "It's okay, go change your clothes now, I'm going out."
This is the women's restroom, so he'd better leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would not be good if the news got out. If someone with ulterior motives exaggerated the story, his reputation would be ruined.
Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Lanzhi hurriedly called out to him: "Wait a moment!"
Ye Zilang immediately stopped, turned around and looked at her in surprise, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Can you please leave me your contact information?" Lin Lanzhi looked at him cautiously and whispered, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to return the clothes to you another day."
There was a glimmer in Ye Zilang's eyes. He couldn't help but deepen the arc of his mouth and said, "I can give you the contact information, but I'm a boy, and it's useless for me to have such clothes, so you don't have to give it back to me."
"But..." Lin Lanzhi paused. She thought about it carefully and felt that she couldn't owe anyone a favor. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then I'll treat you to a meal some other day!"
Ye Ziran wanted to laugh a little. The person she should really thank was actually someone else, but she had just had a little unpleasantness with Chu Wei. If he told her now that it was Chu Wei who instructed him to send the clothes, she would not throw them on the ground in anger, right?
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay." After that, he took out a business card he carried with him and handed it to her.
"Here is my contact information. I hope we can meet again someday. Go change your clothes. I won't bother you anymore." He said this in a gentlemanly manner, then turned around and left the women's restroom gracefully.
Lin Lanzhi took the business card and saw the three characters "Ye Zilang" written on it. She silently read them twice. For some reason, she felt that this name must sound very nice when read out.
But her sight accidentally fell on another place, and she couldn't help blinking. After looking repeatedly several times, she was sure that she was not mistaken.
Mu Chuwei’s exclusive agent!
When she thought of him, she couldn't help but recall the kiss between them, and she felt a little embarrassed. But she couldn't help but wonder, why would his agent send her clothes? Did he have a change of heart? But what was this? A slap in the face and a candy?
After thinking about it for a while, she looked at the clothes in her hand, hesitating whether to change it. But then she thought, why not? This dress was sent by his agent, not by him!
After thinking it over, she walked into the narrow toilet cubicle, closed the door, and changed her wet clothes.
