After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 431: Chapter 426: Trembling Legs at the Sight of Someone

“Lin Shuangxu seems to have fallen in love.”

“It’s not ‘seems’, I saw her with the finance department’s heartthrob last night, walking together outside. The atmosphere between them was quite something.”

“Finance department heartthrob? What the heck is that?”

“It’s a nickname from the university website. One of my buddies is in the finance department, that’s why I know about him. Academic ace with good looks! He keeps it low-key, but you can’t hide excellence—lots of guys are jealous of him, and girls are too intimidated to approach.”

“Listening to you, I’m envious too. This guy must have lots of girls chasing him. There are already so few girls in our computer science department, and he’s even competing with us for them.”

“I was startled too when I saw the two of them together; I even took photos and confirmed with my buddy that it was indeed their finance department heartthrob.”

Shen Yan was sitting behind these two, listening to them gossip about Lin Shuangxu and the finance department heartthrob.

They seemed to have forgotten that she was quite close with Lin Shuangxu.

The guy who started the conversation realized something. When he turned around, he saw Shen Yan sitting behind him, and his face turned red instantly!

“Cough! Shen Yan, you’re close with Lin Shuangxu, do you know about this?”

“…” If she didn’t know that the person asking this question was a man, with that gossip tone, anyone would misunderstand.

“I have some idea.”

The guy eagerly found a topic to chat with Shen Yan about, turned around, about to speak, when Shen Yan pointed forward.

The lecturer’s gaze swept over, and the guy immediately stopped what he was doing.

Shen Yan couldn’t help but reflect: It seemed as though the whole world had suddenly plunged into a love craze!

Qi Si must still be busy overseas right now.

After class, a bunch of guys came running over outside the door, shoving gifts and flowers into Shen Yan’s hands without a word.

This wasn’t the first time this had happened.

Shen Yan calmly took the items to the academic affairs office, deposited them inside, and asked the staff to help deal with them or return them to the students.

Staff at the academic affairs office: “…”

Shen Yan’s celebrity status was rather unique, so these occurrences were common, and the academic affairs office felt the pressure.

Regardless of how they handled it, people kept coming one after another to give Shen Yan flowers and gifts to express their affection.

Shen Yan wouldn’t take anything received in school away with her, nor could she just throw them away in front of everyone—it would damage her image as an artist.

She also couldn’t bring them home; although Qi Si wouldn’t say anything, she didn’t want these minor gifts to ruin the atmosphere between them.

After the evening class, Lin Shuangxu rushed to greet Shen Yan and then hurried off.

Shen Yan followed leisurely behind, slowly making her way out. Liu Su had already come to wait outside. Shen Yan didn’t make any special arrangements; her parking spot was in the car park where students and professors usually parked.

“Nothing happened at school today, right? Are you encountering any problems with your recent courses?” Liu Su picked up Shen Yan and couldn’t help but start nagging like the parent of an elementary schooler.

Anyone else might find it annoying.

But Shen Yan found this pattern quite novel!

She responded to Liu Su’s questions one by one.

Liu Su was also concerned that Shen Yan might be overwhelmed if the school added too much to her workload.

“The movie passed the review, it’s currently being promoted, and it will premiere in a week.”

It was the one starring Shen Yan and Li Yanbai.

Thinking of Li Yanbai, Shen Yan reminded herself of Song Xuan.

Due to the photography incident, Song Xuan had gradually faded from the entertainment scene, and her presence hadn’t been seen for a long time.

Star Language Media indeed clamped down on Song Xuan. If they let her continue unchecked, troubles for Shen Yan’s side would only escalate.

Song Xuan was the type who would cause trouble in silence.

Li Yanbai had already given up on Song Xuan. Investing energy in a woman who doesn’t love you back would be exhausting over time.

Of course, an unrequited love like Qin Dingyue’s was different. Li Yanbai was short of publicly declaring his love for Song Xuan.

Tomorrow is a rest day, and Liu Su flipped open his phone to the notice, “Tomorrow we’ll go see Director Du.”

Shen Yan was taken aback, “Is Director Du still shooting ‘Life in the Courtyard’?”

“He has a good script on his hands, we’re going over for an audition.”

“I haven’t heard you mention this before.”

“I was thinking you’d have make-up classes over Saturday and Sunday, but now that you don’t, there’s no harm in going over to try. The female lead is quite likable, let’s give it a shot.”

“That sounds good!”

*

The audition was on the sixteenth floor of the Lizi Building.

A temporary audition space rented by Director Du.

The Lizi Building was a gathering place for celebrities, with auditions typically being held there.

Today was the audition for Director Du’s film and television series, and there were quite a few performers who came to audition, men and women, young and old, all crowded on the sixteenth floor.

Several big names were sitting in the lobby on the sixteenth floor. When they saw Shen Yan and the others, their eyes flickered before they came over with smiles to greet them.

Shen Yan’s status in the entertainment circle had climbed several notches, and although these were also big names, they didn’t want to offend anyone.

Especially an artist like Shen Yan.

It was essential to maintain good relations on the surface.

The audition rooms were divided into several sections. Shen Yan glanced around and noticed quite a few young female stars.

They kept casting glances over at Shen Yan, and then the elevator behind them opened again.

Shen Yan, along with the others, turned to look.

Seeing Shen Yan, Shi Lian’s face turned ghostly white.

“Shi Lian?” Dai Qiu noticed her significant change in expression and couldn’t help but frown and look at the calm and undisturbed Shen Yan, “What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s, it’s nothing…” Shi Lian’s voice was noticeably trembling, “I suddenly feel like this role isn’t necessarily a must-have.”

“There aren’t many good scripts these days, and with such a relatively decent one coming out, if you don’t go for it, you might miss the chance for a hit.”

“I’ve been a hit before, this kind of thing is…”

“But that was a long time ago,” Dai Qiu said, furrowing his brow even tighter, “what’s really going on with you? Ever since you came back from abroad, your mental state has been inconsistent. You should consult that psychologist you were recommended sooner rather than later.”

“No, it’s not necessary, I’m fine. I just don’t want this role anymore. Let’s go, let’s leave right now.”

She dared not look at Shen Yan. Even after so much time had passed, the scenes from back then were still vivid as yesterday.

She was scared of Shen Yan!

Terrified to the point that just seeing him made her legs tremble.

Avoiding him for so long, she wound up running into him here. She ought to have had Dai Qiu check whether Shen Yan was involved.

“We’re already here, Shi Lian. Even if you don’t want to compete, you should go through the process before leaving. Otherwise, it’s not a good look for Director Du.” Having already notified Director Du precisely, it would be offensive to have the person not show up, causing needless annoyance to a director within the circle.

Shi Lian walked a few steps into the room with numb and stiff legs.

Only after confirming that Shen Yan was not looking at her anymore, did Shi Lian’s face look less awful, and her legs regained some strength.

The aftereffects Shen Yan caused her were too profound.

Shi Lian specifically chose a seat further away to sit down, but at that moment, Shen Yan suddenly looked over.

“Clack!”

The standalone chair was knocked over by Shi Lian!

The abrupt noise instantly drew the attention of everyone around.

Whispers could be heard from the crowd upon seeing Shi Lian.

“Shi Lian, are you really okay?” Dai Qiu’s brow furrowed even more, “After the audition, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Shi Lian couldn’t even muster a response at that moment.

Meanwhile, the elevator doors opened again, and out came several men in suits and leather shoes, the leading man being none other than Mu Jincheng.
