A few minutes later, the door of the dormitory was pushed open again, and Shi Xiangming walked in.
Upon entering the dormitory, Shi Xiangming immediately looked at Xu Xiuwen apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Xiuwen. I was impulsive just now. What I said earlier wasn't directed at you. Please don't be angry."
Xu Xiuwen calmly replied, "I'm not angry."
Upon hearing his words, Shi Xiangming immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you're not angry. Xiuwen, can I join you tomorrow to visit the film set? I want to see you guys filming."
"Sure."
Hearing Xu Xiuwen's agreement, Shi Xiangming finally smiled.
The other four people in the dormitory are completely confused right now.
Why did Shi Xiangming apologize to Xu Xiuwen as soon as he came back? It's obvious that something happened, right?
Yang Baishan couldn't help but ask, " Brother Shi, why did you apologize to Xiuwen?"
Shi Xiangming saw the puzzled looks of his roommates. Then without hiding anything, he voluntarily recounted what had just happened.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Liu Zhihao exclaimed in surprise, "Bai Yue'er is the female lead? Wasn't Xiuwen supposed to be the male lead? They—"
Suddenly realizing something, Liu Zhihao quickly stopped himself from speaking.
But others were not fools, and it was easy for them to guess what he wanted to say.
Shi Xiangming had never thought of this, but now, hearing Liu Zhihao say it, he also realized.
His smile froze on his face, but he reluctantly said in the end, "It's okay, it's just acting, all fake."
Yang Baishan sneakily glanced at Shi Xiangming's expression, then at Xu Xiuwen's, thinking: I wonder if there are any kissing scenes in this drama? If there are, wouldn't Xiuwen be kissing Brother Shi's fiancée? She's practically his sister-in-law, how thrilling!
The atmosphere in Room 412 became somewhat strange, even Wang Juncai noticed that something was off and stopped playing games.
Shi Xiangming pondered for a moment and said, "Yue'er has always wanted to act. This time, she even got the lead role. I have to thank Xiuwen. If it weren't for him giving Yue'er this opportunity, she might never have had the chance to act."
Xu Xiuwen had been listening all along and waved his hand, saying, "It's the director who saw potential in her, not me. Plus, we're roommates, so let's not make a big deal out of it."
Jin Haonan also chimed in, "Yeah, we're all roommates. We'll be living together for the next four years. No need to be formal about it."
Shi Xiangming nodded and said, "Hmm, Brother Hao is right. I'll arrange a dinner and drinks for everyone when we have time, let's have a good drink together, and not return until we're all drunk."
As soon as he heard about drinking, Yang Baishan was the first to agree.
The others didn't oppose either.
Xu Xiuwen calmly said, "I have no objections."
Jin Haonan saw the situation and nodded, "Then let's pick a suitable time and have a good drink."
The next morning.
At around 5:40 AM, Xu Xiuwen got up on time, finished washing up, and was about to head to the film set.
Suddenly remembering that Shi Xiangming had mentioned he was going to support Bai Yue'er today, he walked over to his bed and woke him up.
Shi Xiangming blinked his bleary eyes and saw it was Xu Xiuwen. He asked with confusion, "Xiuwen, do you need something?"
"I'm heading to the set. Didn't you say you wanted to go last night?"
Shi Xiangming recalled the matter, but he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open. "You go ahead. It's too early now. I'll catch up later after some more sleep."
Upon hearing his words, Xu Xiuwen didn't hesitate and turned to leave. He waited downstairs at the female dormitory, where the dawn painted the scene quiet. Only occasionally did a few girls emerge from the building.
After about five minutes, Bai Yue'er finally dashed out from the dormitory.
Bai Yue'er is naturally sweet and cute. Today, she's wearing a cute mid-length white dress with a flowing chiffon skirt at the hem. Her hair is smooth and falls gently over her shoulders. To match the role of Shan Cai, she intentionally has bangs and wears a light-colored hair clip, giving her the adorable look of a girl next door.
Bai Yue'er walks up to Xu Xiuwen. "Sorry for making you wait."
Xu Xiuwen shakes his head. "It's okay, I haven't waited long."
The two walk side by side along the pathway between the dormitory buildings, heading towards the direction of the university.
As they passed through the north gate, Xu Xiuwen suddenly asked, "Yue'er, have you had breakfast?"
Bai Yue'er shook her head. "I forgot to buy bread yesterday, so I didn't eat anything this morning."
"Let's go then, let's buy some breakfast first. Otherwise, we'll have to wait until noon to eat," Xu Xiuwen said, heading towards the breakfast stall outside the north gate.
The street outside the North Gate is a snack street at night and a breakfast street in the morning. Apart from the small restaurants, there are also many vendors pushing breakfast carts. There are all kinds of breakfast options, making it hard to choose.
Xu Xiuwen didn't have a specific target and turned to ask Bai Yue'er, "Do you have anything in mind?"
Bai Yue'er pointed to a small stall not far away.
Xu Xiuwen followed her gaze and saw a stall selling red date cakes.
"Let's go, let's try the red date cakes," Xu Xiuwen said with a smile.
Hearing him say that, Bai Yue'er also smiled and followed along.
Because it's still early, there aren't many people buying breakfast, and there's no one in front of the small stall selling red date cakes.
The boss selling red date cakes saw Xu Xiuwen and Bai Yue'er walking up to the stall and immediately smiled, "Would the handsome gentleman and beautiful lady like to have a red date cake? Our red date cakes are especially delicious."
"Sure, one serving please."
"Alright!" the boss acknowledged, swiftly packing, weighing, and handing the items to Bai Yue'er.
Xu Xiuwen volunteered to pay.
Bai Yue'er smiled and thanked him.
The boss took the hundred yuan, then he bowed, and quickly counted out the change from the pouch on his waist, handing Xu Xiuwen a bunch of crumpled bills.
"Good-looking gentleman and beautiful lady, take your time. If you find it delicious, come again next time."
A piece of red date cake might not be enough to eat. Xu Xiuwen looked around and wanted to buy some more snacks.
Bai Yue'er held the plastic bag by its ear and reached into it with her other hand, gently pinching a piece of red date cake from inside.
The girl handed the red date cake to Xu Xiuwen's lips. "You try the taste first."
Xu Xiuwen looked at the delicate white hand in front of him. Then without hesitation, he opened his mouth and took a bite of the red date cake, naturally brushing against the girl's fingertips with his lips.
Bai Yue'er quickly withdrew her hand but her heart was beating wildly.
She lowered her head to look at the bag in her hand, but her peripheral vision was on Xu Xiuwen.
What did he mean?
Was it accidental? Or intentional?
"It's quite tasty, would you like some too?" Xu Xiuwen chewed a few times without realizing, then swallowed the red date cake.
"Really?" Bai Yue'er didn't think too much and grabbed a piece of red date cake from the bag, bringing it to her lips. Unintentionally, her lips brushed against where Xu Xiuwen had just touched.
Before she could feel embarrassed, the taste of the red date cake spread across her tongue, its soft and sweet flavor bringing joy to her mood.
She looked at Xu Xiuwen, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth, "It's quite delicious."
"Indeed," Xu Xiuwen smiled back, not noticing the girl's expression, and turned to look at other stalls, "Let's buy some more food."
"Okay," Bai Yue'er murmured softly in response.
Xu Xiuwen turned and walked away.
But she stood still, quietly watching his retreating figure.
