Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Mu Zhou's explanation was so frank that it completely dissipated the last vestige of romance.

My roommate nodded in agreement:

"Young Master Shang's temper is indeed not very good, so it's normal that you don't dare to say it. I thought you two had some kind of ambiguous relationship."

Mu Zhou smiled calmly:

"No, Shang Henian won't like me, and I don't like him either."

Seeing this, her roommate didn't ask any further questions.

The conversation quickly shifted to other topics.

After they walked away, Shang Henian came out from the side, carrying three cups of milk tea.

He stood there straight, his complexion not looking good.

After leaving, Lu Zhi took him to a nearby milk tea shop and said to him with disappointment that he didn't know how to please girls.

So, urged by Lu Zhi, he reluctantly accepted the milk tea.

It's not expensive anyway, just a drink.

Shang Henian convinced himself of this.

Unexpectedly, before they even got close, they heard Mu Zhou disclaiming any connection between them.

He felt a tightness in his chest.

Those were words he had forced Mu Zhou to obey.

But now that he actually heard these things from her, he felt terrible.

He silently clenched the milk tea bag, and finally, with a dark expression, threw it all into the trash can.

After class, Mu Zhou went to the drama club's rehearsal room.

The school needs a lot of promotional videos for its anniversary celebration, and they have already filmed these before.

The school is very satisfied.

The mission will be complete after a few more short films are shot.

They've gathered here today for another reason.

Have you seen this online short film competition?

The first Water Lotus Cup Micro-Film Competition is open to all universities that are not involved in film and television.

Winners not only receive prize money, but also have the opportunity to have their short films broadcast on television, win national awards, and earn academic credits.

The president introduced the company with great enthusiasm.

The president of the club is a graduating student who is not usually on campus. He came specifically for the short film competition.

His goal, of course, was to persuade Lu Zhi.

He had a feeling that if Lu Zhi agreed to play the male lead, his chances of winning an award would increase by fifty percent.

But Lu Zhi was clearly not interested in this.

So the president started using his silver tongue, and eventually Lu Zhi got annoyed and had no choice but to agree.

The club president is a very nice person. He had helped him a lot before, and seeing how much the president wanted to participate, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Even the script was ready-made; the president had prepared it long ago.

The story is simple: since the theme of the competition is love, the script is about the love-hate entanglement between a wealthy young man and a poor working girl.

Lu Zhi curled his lip in disgust:

"This script is so clichéd."

"The formula doesn't have to be new, as long as it works. I've already studied the selection mechanism. In addition to the five industry judges, online voting also accounts for a large proportion. The more profound and mysterious your film is, the less the audience will buy it. It's better to just honestly film classic love stories."

What could be more classic than the story of a prince falling in love with Cinderella?

Everyone agreed that it made sense.

Let's get right to it. Tomorrow is the weekend, and the club president asked everyone to brainstorm where to film.

Mu Zhou flipped through the script and casually suggested:

"I think I've seen this kind of set in a suburban villa before. We can rent one, and I estimate that we can film most of the indoor scenes there."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi suddenly remembered:

"A suburban villa? My dad has a house there. Come to my place."

So the group made a decision.

*

Saturday, suburban villa.

Mu Zhou quietly tidied up the clothes the actors would be wearing in the room.

She has little experience in appearing on camera, mainly working behind the scenes, and occasionally playing minor roles as passersby.

Everyone else is outside at the pool, filming the scene where the female lead is bullied by the villainous supporting character and pushed into the pool to find the pearl.

A moment later, the club president rushed in.

"I need your help urgently, Mu Zhou, you can't refuse me!"

Mu Zhou was stunned:

"What, what's wrong?"

"You say it first, you promise me."

The president insisted that she make a promise.

Mu Zhou didn't know what was going on, but seeing the president's nervous expression, he could only nod hesitantly:

"Okay, I promise you."

"Great! From this moment on, you're the lead actress in the short film!"

"……What?!"

Mu Zhou stared wide-eyed in shock.

It turns out that Xu Ling, the originally cast female lead, was also a senior in college. She had applied to a prestigious foreign university for graduate studies, but had not yet received an invitation.

She had long since given up hope, but today she suddenly received an invitation.

The school needs her to come for an interview tomorrow.

How could she possibly miss such an opportunity?

With no other option, she had to buy a ticket and leave the country immediately. She didn't know how many days she would stay, so she naturally couldn't continue filming.

The worst part is that the entire filming crew had already submitted their information the moment they signed up.

The competition rules stipulate that all performers must be students who have submitted their names, and these names cannot be changed.

This means they can no longer seek outside help.

Fortunately, the personnel list did not specify the division of labor, so people could still be selected from the group.

In addition to the lead actress Xu Ling, the filming crew also included four other girls.

As the director, the president of the company found that none of them looked very photogenic after filming a video of each person.

After all, cameras are really harsh and can magnify a person's facial flaws.

Although the female protagonist in the script is poor, she is an absolutely lovable and beautiful girl.

Just as the president was in despair, his camera suddenly captured Mu Zhou tidying up his clothes in the living room.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, his lens captured Mu Zhou completely.

A smooth face shape, delicate and petite features, a slender figure, and those shy, expressive eyes.

It perfectly matches the female lead's character design.

This was the scene just now.

After hearing the whole story, Mu Zhou refused without even thinking.

How could she possibly act?

In the end, however, she couldn't resist the president's persistent pleading and agreed.

"Well, I'll give it a try."

She lacked confidence.

"Don't worry, I have experience. I'll guide you."

Lu Zhi patted his chest and assured him.

Lu Lin never takes a holiday throughout the year, but recently he finally got a day off and came to the suburban villa.

The family bought houses for all of his brothers here, so he doesn't come here often.

As we passed the backyard of the neighboring villa, a short, startled cry suddenly came from inside the wall.

Immediately following was the sound of a "plop" as someone fell into the water.

The familiar tone of the voice made Lu Lin stop and frown instantly.

This is his older brother's villa.

Although he felt the owner of the voice shouldn't be there, perhaps he had misheard.

But the sound of his voice made his heart leap into his throat, preventing him from leaving.

So he quickly went around to the door with a cold face.

He entered the password skillfully, but inwardly he felt that he might be making a mountain out of a molehill.

As he strode into the courtyard, he witnessed a scene that enraged him greatly.

His eyes were instantly filled with violence.

The girl was soaking wet in the pool, while several men and women stood on the shore, looking at her with ill intent.

The girl tried hard to climb out of the pool, but the person standing on the shore pushed her back into the water and then burst into triumphant laughter.

There were other people filming and recording it nearby.

Lu Zhi sat to the side, watching with great interest.

Everything seemed to indicate that the girl was being bullied.

Lu Lin felt as if his heart had been squeezed tightly, the pain making it difficult for him to breathe.

Without pausing for a second, he immediately approached:

"What are you doing?!"
