Once, the most talked-about gossip at the entire Sky Screen High School was how Gu Yuran had pursued Meng Yansheng for three whole years, only to confess repeatedly and be rejected every time. Then, on the eve of the college entrance exams, Gu Yuran dropped out without warning. After the exams, Meng Yansheng, the provincial top scorer, defied her family and school and insisted on enrolling at an obscure film academy, leaving the whole school stunned.
A few years later, nearly penniless and desperate to make a living, Meng Yansheng joined the auditions for the recently popular variety show Journey at her company's insistence. Bored as she waited for the selection, she wandered around backstage and "happened" to run into an "old classmate" she hadn't seen in years.
"Long time no see," Meng Yansheng said with an awkward smile.
"I don't owe anyone any favors," Gu Yuran replied with a cold glance.
Meng Yansheng: ???
Then she stepped onto the stage and couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Gu Yuran sitting in the mentor's seat, watching her expressionlessly.
Meng Yansheng: ...I want to die...
One time, at the beach:
Gu Yuran watched Meng Yansheng pick out a swimsuit with indifference. "Don't wear anything too revealing. Don't you know what your figure looks like?"
Meng Yansheng, about to try on a bikini: ...
One time, while filming a short film:
Gu Yuran: "Stay away from that person. No physical contact."
Meng Yansheng: "Teacher Gu, it's a bed scene."
Gu Yuran: "Are you defying me?"
Meng Yansheng: ...
Until one day...
"Meng Yansheng... don't push your luck..." Gu Yuran's gaze was hazy, her voice a little hoarse.
"Hmm? Isn't Teacher Gu just checking my homework?" Meng Yansheng said with a mischievous grin. "Or is the assignment in my hands... not quite up to standard?"
"I... mm..." The corners of her eyes were red, and her body trembled a little.
"Don't make a sound." She breathed into Gu Yuran's ear, then licked the corner of her eye.
"Time for a thorough inspection, Teacher Gu..."
