These past few days, Ji Yan has been working on the film set, so he only has time to chat with Ning Yi occasionally when he's resting or in the evenings.

Ning Yi has also been busy rehearsing for the show recently.

That day, they were practicing as usual.

"Why hasn't Fang Cong arrived yet?" Xue Ze asked, looking at the people.

Shen Qianwen shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't hear that he had anything to do today."

Xue Ze, Shen Qianwen, and Fang Cong are all members of the drama club.

The event is starting in three days.

"Why don't you call and contact him?" Li Man suggested.

After all, they've been practicing for over twenty minutes today, and Fang Cong is nowhere to be seen. Even if there's a special situation, they should at least let us know in the group chat.

Someone tagged Fang Cong in the group chat, but Fang Cong didn't respond, so Xue Ze started making phone calls.

At first, no one answered the phone, and everyone became a little serious and stopped what they were doing.

After many attempts, I finally got through.

Xue Ze asked anxiously, "Fang Cong, what happened to you?"

Having spent so much time with Fang Cong, they knew he wasn't the type to slack off or give up halfway; something must have happened to him.

"Xue Ze... I was in a car accident."

"I'm in the hospital right now, my leg is broken," Fang said, enduring the pain, his voice tinged with guilt.

Upon hearing this news, Xue Ze's eyes widened: "Is it serious? What happened?"

"Sorry, I was hit by a car while running errands this morning."

"I might be a burden to everyone..." His voice trailed off as he spoke.

Xue Ze frowned, scratching his head in frustration. "It's not your fault. I'll tell everyone about this so we can discuss it."

"Okay... I'm really sorry," Fang Cong said guiltily.

They exchanged a few casual words and then hung up the phone.

Everyone could tell from Xue Ze's expression that something must have happened.

Xue Ze's expression was somewhat complicated. Seeing everyone staring at him, he found it difficult to say anything.

"Speak quickly!" said the other girl, An Qing, somewhat anxiously.

Xue Ze said slowly, "Fang Cong was in a car accident this morning and broke his leg."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Because the performance was supposed to involve the three drama clubs walking around on stage, and they had already rehearsed almost to completion, it wouldn't make sense for the plot to suddenly have one less person... and all three of them had equally important roles.

"What should we do then..." Tan Qinqin said.

Shen Qianwen chimed in, "Yes, we're about to participate in an event performance, where are we going to find someone to help us?"

"And if we're going to make changes, there are too many changes."

Ning Yi couldn't help but worry, after all, everyone had been practicing so hard during this time, all for the sake of completing this performance well.

Everyone is very distressed by this situation.

“Even if we replace them now, it’s too late,” Ning Yi couldn’t help but say.

Yes, even if we could find someone, it would be very difficult for them to learn these things within three days.

Everyone was in a panic. Finally, Li Man suggested that they look for suitable people first, and they could act in part of the role and then revise the rest later.

They must have had a very tough time these past few days.

After that, everyone helped to find a suitable classmate to play the role.

Back in her dorm, Ningyi washed up and collapsed onto her bed.

She took out her phone and texted Ji Yan: "Are you done with work?"

Ning Yi: I just got back to the dorm and finished washing up.

Ning Yi: There's been a problem with our show. One of our drama club members accidentally fractured a bone and can't perform. We have to find a replacement, but we haven't found a suitable one yet.

Ning Yi: [Sighs]

Ning Yi sighed when there was no reply from the other end for a long time. Ji Yan had joined the film crew, and his rest time was uncertain, since it would be affected by the progress of the film.

……

As for Ji Yan, due to equipment delays, the director notified everyone to work overtime, and the scene that wasn't finished was filmed until now.

We finally finished filming; it was already 11:30 p.m.

"Thank you all for your hard work. This is milk tea that Yiqi is treating everyone to."

"It's getting cold, everyone come and grab a cup to drink while it's hot!" the assistant director shouted over the loudspeaker.

Many people stepped forward to get milk tea, praising Lin Yiqi as they did so.

Lin Yiqi is the second female lead in this movie.

Fang Yuqing and Xu Zhi helped Ji Yan pack his things, and then they planned to leave together.

"Ji Yan, why don't you get a cup?" Lin Yiqi walked over with a cup of milk tea.

Lin Yiqi handed the milk tea to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan shook his head politely and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm really sorry, I've been cutting out sugar recently."

Lin Yiqi pursed her lips: "Alright then."

"Let's exchange contact information. We're in the same production team, so we can help each other out if needed," Lin Yiqi suggested.

Although Ji Yan was not happy, he couldn't show it, since he still had to put on a show of social etiquette.

After they exchanged contact information, Ji Yan left the venue.

Back in the car, Ji Yan opened his phone and saw a message from Ning Yi.

Ji Yan: I just got off work

Ji Yan: Isn't the performance in three days?

Ji Yan: Are you asleep?

Ji Yan: Goodnight

Seeing that Ning Yi hadn't moved for a while, she must have fallen asleep, since it was already so late.

He stared at the message Ning Yi had sent on his phone, thought for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask Xu Zhi, who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Xu Zhi, I remember we had a friend who was a year younger than you and was in the drama club."

Xu Zhi paused for a moment, then turned his head: "Drama Club?"

Xu Zhi thought for a moment, then said, "You mean Wei Ming?"

"I'd heard about him from a friend before. He's joined a drama troupe now, and I heard he recently acted in a play."

"Speaking of which, she's a senior now, almost graduating, right?"

Ji Yan nodded and said, "You have his contact information, right? Can you do me a favor?"

"What?" Xu Zhi asked in confusion.

After that, Ji Yan told Xu Zhi that he wanted Wei Ming to help participate in Ning Yi and the others' program.

They had all heard of Wei Ming's abilities; he was strong in theatrical performance and also had a strong learning ability.

After some communication, Wei Ming readily agreed to help them, mainly because of Xu Zhi and Ji Yan.

After all, he admired Ji Yan quite a bit. Although he wasn't a fan of celebrities, Ji Yan was known for being outstanding and hardworking back in school.

Sure enough, the next day, Ning Yi received a message in the group that a new stage actor had been found.

What's even more surprising is that the person is actually a senior three years ahead of them, and incredibly, Wei Ming, who is already in a drama troupe, still came to help them participate in this small event.

Ning Yi and Li Man didn't know him very well, but they could tell from the two drama club members that it was truly astonishing that Wei Ming was willing to help them.
