While the final casting for the second female and male leads were released, other open roles for "His Endless Love" left everyone hopeful.
The second female lead was revealed to be Chen Jiayi, a fresh and upcoming actress who ended up contacting management for a private audition and the second male lead was Guan Chao, a young actor who had been acting since childhood.
This led to much glee from Wei Lina.
"Kyaaaaaaaaa! Wang Anna! Deng Boqin! OMG, Guan Chao is soooooo handsome! This Chen Jiayi seems not so bad either! I can't wait, Xinxin ah!"
She grabbed Zhou Lengxin and aggressively shook her by the shoulders.
"Hn, with all this publicity, investments will probably go up... more money for me!"
"Geez, all you care about is money."
"What's wrong with that?"
"..."
"Actually, I also care about food and sleep."
Three black lines appeared on their foreheads.
"Alright, alright, Miss I-Only-Care-About-Food, I'm going out, want anything?"
"Buy me boba! Liu Feihong, you're the best! I love you! muah~"
Though she seemed thoroughly lazy to the bone, Zhou Lengxin worked quite hard. When she wasn't working or studying, she would write songs and she would go to the dance studio.
She finally got her hands on some free time, so she planned to game all day. But she had only played one LoL game before her dorm mates dragged her outside.
"I got you your bubble tea, so you better come!" Liu Feihong threw some clothes at her to change into.
"Where are we going?" Zhou Lengxin usually wore old T-shirts and athletic shorts inside the dorm. Since they wanted her to change meant that she had to go outside.
She changed into a patterned A-line dress and moderate heels, but Wei Lina insisted on fixing her hair and applying BB cream and mascara on her.
"Hey, if you dressed like this usually, you could definitely defeat the Campus Beauty!"
"I'm trying to lay low! I don't want to get noticed!"
The two elder ones gave her a weird look, but Chen Xiaoxiao, her friend from high school burst out giggling.
"I remember on Valentines Day, there were so many love letters and chocolates, that when I opened her locker, I was knocked to the ground! Back then our Lengxin was much colder, her face was so priceless!"
"...But Xinxin got a lot of hate and was bullied when she didn't even do anything..."
"Aiya, let them be jealous, it doesn't matter what they think since they don't even know you. Let's go!"
Liu Feihong led them across campus to the basketball court.
"Senior Xia is here on campus! I saw him going to the basketball court, we definitely have to save seats before the news spreads and everyone comes!"
"Damn you, Liu Feihong! How come you get all the chance encounters with Senior Xia? I want! I want!" It sounded like Wei Lina was cursing her, but she was praising their good luck while scurrying towards the court.
"We're here to watch basketball?" Zhou Lengxin did not recall any of them having a particular passion for the sport.
"We're here to see Senior Xia play basketball." Lina heavily emphasized his name.
"What's the fun in that? It's only fun when you're the ones playing." As usual, none of them could relate.
Other girls began to crowd around and start cheering, but it only made Zhou Lengxin's mood turned sour.
Too much people! Too much noise!
Finding the match a little lackluster, she struck up a conversation with the person next to her.
"Hello."
"Hey, I haven't seen you around before. Look at all these people! Haish, the moment Third Bro appears, all the females come running." Wu Zhiting had injured his leg, so he could only watch from the bench. He was already used to this kind of atmosphere.
"I'm Zhou Lengxin. Don't girls generally tend to look at the face, body, and financial situation before personality? That's just how it is. Who's your Third Brother anyway?"
"Don't tell me you don't know? Why are you here then?"
Zhou Lengxin cocked her head at the three screaming fangirls beside her. Wu Zhiting gave her a sympathetic nod.
"My family's Third Brother is the highly sought after Xia Minghua."
