Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 5.5 Military Training
The next day
The 2017 freshmen of Beijing Film Academy began their military training.

The military training uniforms were distributed last night, the counselor gave some instructions, and asked each student to introduce themselves.

Lin Shaobai missed this class meeting because he had to record a program.

However, there was no loss.

Actually, the acting department is just more famous at Beijing Film Academy; the directing, cinematography, and screenwriting departments are equally outstanding.

Zhang Yimou's Gu Changwei is from the cinematography department, while Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, and Guan Hu are from the directing department.

The 2017 undergraduate class of the Performing Arts Department will produce many well-known artists in the future.

Besides Zhang Jingyi and Guo Zifan, there is also Su Xiaotong, who starred in "The Imperial Coroner", and Wang Junkai, a top idol from TFBOYS.

Everyone knows that among the three members of TFBOYS, the leader Wang Junkai was the most popular at the beginning, while the four-character name was the least popular.

Who could have imagined that the four-character name would later become the overwhelming presence among the three, with resources and popularity soaring, and several representative works.

Wang Junkai will later join the drama class in his junior year, and he won't have much interaction with Lin Shaobai's group.

Nothing much happened today, and it was the first day of military training, so Lin Shaobai obediently followed his class in training.

The weather was unbearably hot and humid, with not a breath of wind; the thick air seemed to have solidified.

It's strange, but while the senior students and junior students all encountered rainy days during their military training, it was always sunny and suffocatingly hot for my year.

Female students in the performing arts department tend to pay more attention to skincare; some of them apply very thick layers of sunscreen, making them look as white as ghosts.

Lin Shaobai's company had four rows of soldiers. He was in the first row of boys, and all the people in front of him were girls.

Zhang Jingyi was right in front of them.

After a few brief words from the military instructor, Lin Shaobai and the others began to stand at attention for half an hour.

After patrolling around a few times, the instructor stood in front of Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi's long black hair was tied in a ponytail. She was well-behaved, quiet, and didn't dare to move.

Beads of sweat glistened on the tip of his nose, as if they might drip down at any moment.

With his five fingers pressed tightly against the seam of his pants, he presented the image of a model student.

The instructor's dark face was so intimidating that after a while, she cautiously raised her eyes.

"Hey kid, are you feeling unwell?"

The instructor's tone was serious, but you could tell he still cared about the students.

Zhang Jingyi shook her head: "No."

18-year-old Zhang Jingyi speaks in a soft voice and is a very well-behaved girl.

Instructor: "But your face is really pale right now. If you're really feeling unwell, go rest over there, and I can ask for leave for you."

If something really happens, the instructors will also be criticized and educated.

After a moment's pause, Zhang Jingyi calmly said, "No, the paleness is probably because I applied too much sunscreen."

"puff."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shaobai, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The instructor, who had been looking at Zhang Jingyi, gradually shifted his gaze to Lin Shaobai, as if he could devour him whole.

"Is it funny?"

The instructor stood directly in front of Lin Shaobai, looking at him with a stern face.

Lin Shaobai tilted his head back and said, "Report! It's actually kind of funny."

The instructor's lips twitched.

Standing in front, Zhang Jingyi frowned slightly, but her expression remained calm and composed; you couldn't tell how much strange emotion she had.

"If you think it's funny, come out and do ten push-ups."

"Oh."

Lin Shaobai stepped out of the line, quickly did ten push-ups in the open space next to him, and then stood up.

Zhang Jingyi didn't move her head, but slowly shifted her gaze to Lin Shaobai.

She looked Lin Shaobai up and down.

"Reporting to the instructor, I'm done."

"Return to the team."

"Yes."

Lin Shaobai stood obediently behind Zhang Jingyi.

After standing for a short while, the military training ended.

The instructors told everyone to sit down and rest.

After sitting down, Lin Shaobai pulled his military training cap over his face to shield himself from the strong sunlight. Thinking he'd take a nap, a boy behind him tapped him on the shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Lin Shaobai turned around and looked.

"Could you please pass this note to the girl in front of you? Thank you."

The male student tried to control his excitement and said in a low voice.

Lin Shaobai took the note in his hand, turned around and patted Zhang Jingyi on the shoulder.

“Hey, Zhang Jingyi.”

After hearing the voice, Zhang Jingyi turned her face slightly to the side, seemingly waiting for Lin Shaobai to speak first.

Lin Shaobai then handed her a small note: "Here."

Zhang Jingyi: "What?"

Someone gave it to you.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at the big red heart on the note and quickly turned her head back: "I don't want it. Please return it to me."

"Great, transfer five thousand yuan to me in a bit."

Lin Shaobai said it on purpose.

Zhang Jingyi looked completely bewildered: "What?"

Lin Shaobai: "Yeah, it's a tip. It's so hot, and I still have to pass notes to my classmates. It's so tiring."

Zhang Jingyi, the retired cadre, seemed speechless: "You...you're...unreasonable. Never mind, I'll pay it back myself."

"Hey, just kidding."

Lin Shaobai saw Zhang Jingyi's hand reach out and then stuffed the note back to the male classmate.

"Give it back to you."

"Huh? Uh, okay."

The male classmate saw that Zhang Jingyi didn't want him, so he stopped pursuing her.

After a short break, the instructors started training everyone to stand at ease and attention again.

He checked each row meticulously, ensuring they were perfectly aligned.

This training session was a bit more intense than before, and the instructors allowed the students to go further away to get their own water bottles to drink.

Lin Shaobai noticed Zhang Jingyi walking up to him while he was drinking water.

Zhang Jingyi: "By the way, do you think I look like a princess?"

Lin Shaobai almost spat out his water.

Hey, start with zero frames!

Lin Shaobai screwed the cap back on the water bottle, gazed into the distance, and said leisurely, "Did you hear that?"

"It was an accident," Zhang Jingyi said calmly.

Lin Shaobai gave a slightly forced smile: "A little."

He can't really explain it now, since the nickname was given to him by many netizens, and he just said it casually.

Zhang Jingyi quietly looked at Lin Shaobai.

Her eyes habitually shimmered with a subtle, captivating light.

"I'm quite curious, why do you think that?"

Since it was the first time she had been addressed like that, Zhang Jingyi felt she needed to ask more detailed questions.

Lin Shaobai sighed: "You can take it as a term of endearment from my mother. Just take it as a joke."

Zhang Jingyi raised her right eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

really.

Hearing these descriptions in real life still makes me feel a little embarrassed...

It's awkward, but at least it's what the dean said: we need to get along well with the dean.

"Let's go, the instructors are starting to assemble."

After finishing speaking, Lin Shaobai put the water cup back in its original place and ran back to the company.

Zhang Jingyi turned her body and stared intently at Lin Shaobai's back.

The sunlight was so strong that it made her squint.

"Lin Shaobai..."

Zhang Jingyi was still somewhat troubled, holding the water bottle in her hand but hesitating to make any further moves.
