Xu Yuan called out to Shen Nanxing, wanting to know his name. However, Shen Nanxing left without looking back. A hint of regret flashed in Xu Yuan’s eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and continued with the rest of the event.

After Shen Nanxing got off the stage, Lin Qingyan stopped him.

“Nanxing, wait!”

Shen Nanxing felt the voice was somewhat familiar, and when he turned around, it was indeed Lin Qingyan. He looked at her in surprise.

“Qingyan-jie, what are you doing here?”

“Did you forget what I do? I’m Xu Yuan’s manager,” Lin Qingyan said with a teasing smile.

“So, it was you who selected the fan for the interaction on stage?” Shen Nanxing realized, feeling a bit embarrassed. No wonder when he first heard the voice from the crowd, it felt like he had heard it before. He had been blocked by some tall people and couldn’t see who was on stage, so he didn’t recognize her at the time.

Lin Qingyan nodded.

“Nanxing, I didn’t expect you to have such a connection with our movie emperor. Even got picked like this,” she teased.

Shen Nanxing smiled helplessly. “It’s just a coincidence.” He hadn’t expected to be selected just for wanting to take a few photos for someone else.

“Are you free later? Let me treat you to dinner,” Lin Qingyan asked.

Shen Nanxing had a hint of apology on his face. “I still need to submit my project report, so it might be late.” He thought for a moment and then added, “How about my brother joins you for dinner?”

Lin Qingyan snorted arrogantly at the mention of Shen Chuanqiong. “Who wants to have dinner with him? Nanxing-jie wants your help.”

Shen Nanxing pointed at himself uncertainly. “Me?”

“How could I help you?” He scratched his head, confused.

Lin Qingyan smiled mysteriously, her expression excited. “Just your face can help me a lot.”

It turned out that Lin Qingyan needed him to be a temporary model for a magazine cover shoot. The original model they had booked suddenly had an issue, and now they couldn’t shoot. If they didn’t shoot, the penalty would be high. Lin Qingyan couldn’t find the right person in time, but she thought Shen Nanxing’s temperament fit the theme of the shoot perfectly, so she wanted to ask for his help.

“Nanxing, please help your sister,” Lin Qingyan said, switching to a pitiful tone, no longer the aloof beauty she usually portrayed.

“Alright, but I’ll pass on dinner tonight. I probably won’t have time. Let’s do it another time,” Shen Nanxing softened and finally agreed. Maybe one day Lin Qingyan would be his sister-in-law, and helping out for family was no big deal.

Lin Qingyan was so happy that she nearly smiled herself silly. “Alright, Nanxing, let’s contact each other on WeChat, and I’ll pick you up then.” She couldn’t imagine how popular the magazine would be once it came out!

“Okay.”

Shen Nanxing finally started heading toward the Western Teaching Building.

After finishing all the activities, Xu Yuan happened to see the two of them saying goodbye.

“Qingyan, do you know him?”

Lin Qingyan turned around, still with a smile on her face. “He’s the little one I mentioned to you last time.”

“So it’s him!” Xu Yuan was a bit shocked. Lin Qingyan had said she met a very well-behaved kid, and Xu Yuan had thought, how well-behaved could he really be? But after seeing him today, he truly was exceptionally well-behaved.

“How about that? I wasn’t exaggerating, was I?” Lin Qingyan looked at him triumphantly.

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement. “He’s very well-behaved.”

“Do you have his contact info?”

Lin Qingyan gave him a scrutinizing look when she heard this. “What’s this? You’re not planning to go after him, are you? If I have it, I wouldn’t give it to you!”

Did she not know Xu Yuan’s little thoughts? Xu Yuan responded calmly, “Of course not.”

“Better not, Xu Yuan, don’t forget your current situation,” Lin Qingyan didn’t miss any small change in his expression, and once she confirmed he wasn’t lying, she finally relaxed. At that moment, a trace of loneliness flashed in Xu Yuan’s eyes. “I haven’t forgotten.”

Lin Qingyan patted his shoulder in comfort. “Your current situation doesn’t allow for any romance to interfere. Don’t let someone else become your weakness.”

They were both colleagues and friends. Lin Qingyan had played an important role in Xu Yuan’s rise in the entertainment industry.

Xu Yuan nodded silently. So his name is Shen Nanxing…

Shen Nanxing finally delivered the freshly taken photos to the 305 classroom, just as asked. The class rep was in charge of collecting the project reports.

Xie Ling’s eyes lit up when she saw him, and she excitedly waved her arms. “Xingbao, come here!”

Shen Nanxing handed the report to the class rep and walked over.

Xie Ling, her face full of excitement, asked, “So, did you get the photos?”

Shen Nanxing didn’t respond. Instead, he opened his phone’s photo album and showed it to her.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Xingbao, you’re amazing!” Xie Ling exclaimed, trembling with excitement. This was the first time she had seen such a close-up, high-definition photo of her male idol.

“Xingbao, how did you do it? I’m about to fall in love with you!”

Xie Ling flipped through the photos and saw the one with Shen Nanxing and Xu Yuan together. She stared at the picture, grinning foolishly. “Xingbao, you and my idol look so perfect together!”

“Can you send this one to me too?”

Shen Nanxing nodded slightly. “Sure.”

He took her phone and sent all the pictures to her.

Xie Ling told him to sit down quickly and looked at him with curiosity. “You still haven’t told me how you managed to get such high-quality photos.”

Shen Nanxing coughed awkwardly and replied, “Just got lucky.”

Xie Ling immediately felt like she had missed a huge opportunity and muttered, “If I had known, I would’ve tried my luck too.”

Shen Nanxing found her current state amusing. He casually replied, “Weren’t you too busy to go? What about Yanran? How is she doing now?”

Xie Ling sighed. “Don’t even mention it, Yanran broke up. I finally comforted her, and then the next second, she got back together with him.”

“It’s driving me crazy, I missed my chance to see my male idol!”

Shen Nanxing comforted her, “There will be another opportunity.”

At the same time, Xu Yuan trended on social media.

This afternoon, Xu Yuan and Shen Nanxing’s game interaction was fully recorded by fans at the scene and posted online. It immediately sparked attention from curious netizens. Lin Qingyan checked the online comments right away and found that there were no negative remarks, which eased her concerns considerably. She told Xu Yuan to just go with the flow and not to respond.

When Xu Yuan returned to his apartment, he opened his phone and realized he was trending. He lazily leaned back on the sofa, scrolling through Weibo, a faint smile flickering in his eyes. Many fan accounts were commenting on how well he and Shen Nanxing looked together. Some said that the current popular movie star and the shy fan could be a perfect match. Others had specifically edited a clip of Shen Nanxing asking if his “chu night” was still a thing, with Shen Nanxing’s ears turning red, and added a caption saying, “If this isn’t love, then what is?”
