Chapter 167 Welcome the New Students, Senior Brothers and Elders
Once everything was mostly tidied up, Wenna's maid left, and everyone rested in their respective spots.
Cui Mengmeng felt the atmosphere in the dormitory was too silent and a little awkward. Not daring to talk to Wen Na and Ning Yao, she moved her chair closer to Xin Yujue.
"Shall we go together to the new student welcome party in the lecture hall later?"
“Okay.” Xin Yujue nodded. All the students who were registering today had to attend the freshman welcome party, and it would be good to have someone with them.
These words were spoken to Xin Yujue. After speaking, Cui Mengmeng secretly glanced at Ning Yao and Wen Na, wondering whether she should invite them to join, since they were all in the same dormitory and couldn't form cliques within the dormitory.
Wenna didn't speak, keeping her head down looking at her phone, occasionally tilting her head back and shouting, letting out a strange laugh.
Cui Mengmeng's eyes widened, clearly startled. She swallowed hard, but ultimately kept quiet, not intending to speak to Wenna.
Ning Yao, on the other hand, took the initiative to walk up to Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, her outstretched hand was fair and delicate, and looked very beautiful.
"Can I come with you?" Ning Yao said with a smile. "My name is Luo Xiyao. I'm a little older than all of you. If you need any help in the future, you can call me."
Cui Mengmeng was surprised that Ning Yao, such a prominent figure, would take the initiative to come forward and greet her, and nervously stood up from her chair.
She reached out and shook hands with Ning Yao, then stammered as she introduced her situation.
Xin Yujue raised her eyes and glanced at Ning Yao, scrutinizing her carefully.
The girl looked to be about the same age as everyone else, so I don't know why she said she was the oldest.
Does she know everyone's information in the dormitory?
Ning Yao seemed to sense Xin Yujue's confusion and explained gently, "There was an accident in my family the year I graduated from high school, so I was delayed for five years before I could go to university."
Five years?
Upon hearing this number, Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were both stunned.
A woman's skin condition deteriorates year by year, requiring her to spend a lot of money on good skincare products to maintain it.
Luo Xiyao's skin is ridiculously good, like a peeled egg, fair and smooth, full of collagen.
She didn't wear much foundation; her makeup was light, almost just skincare steps, and then she applied lipstick to her lips.
If she hadn't said it, they would have all thought Ning Yao was a whole generation younger than them.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue were both amazed. Their eyes unconsciously fell on Ning Yao's desk, wanting to see what brand of skincare products she was using that had such good effects.
Ning Yao did indeed have skincare products on her table; they were just ordinary high-end brands, nothing special.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue then looked at Wenna and noticed that Wenna and Ning Yao were using the same skincare products, but Wenna's skin was not as good, and it was not hard to see that she had concealed her blemishes on her makeup.
It seems Ning Yao has other methods for maintaining her appearance, and it doesn't have much to do with skincare products.
Without even glancing at Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue, Wenna put down her phone, touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, and spoke in a carefree manner.
"Luo Xiyao, I'll go with you later."
Ning Yao nodded, then looked at Wen Na with a scrutinizing gaze, unsure of the other's intentions.
Wenna seemed to ignore the other two people, only talking to her.
The four of them left the dormitory one after another and walked towards the studio.
"You don't like Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue?" Ning Yao asked casually, gazing at the campus scenery passing by.
"Why do you ask that?" Wenna replied with a smile.
"You don't talk to them at all."
"Is it that I don't talk to them? Is it that they're afraid of me and don't want to talk to me? Why should I bother trying to be nice to them?"
Ning Yao thought about it and realized that it really was true.
The lecture hall was packed with people, incredibly lively, bustling with activity, and people were chatting amongst themselves.
"I'm so excited to see my senior again! He's the best actor in our department. I remember he was discovered by a talent scout when he was in his first year of high school and played the second male lead in a campus drama."
"In the end, neither the male lead nor the female lead became popular in that drama; it was our senior, Shu, who became famous."
"Yes, Shu Xuechang's performance in the drama 'Everywhere I Look Is Her' was so good. His image as an older brother is so memorable. I wish I had an older brother like him, someone who would love and cherish me as I grew up. Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy."
"I heard that Director Guo has taken a liking to Senior Shu and plans to cast him in one of his scripts, which seems to be an urban romance suspense drama. He'll play the male lead, but the female lead hasn't been decided yet. Do you think Senior Shu might be here to choose a female co-star from our freshman class?"
"Most likely, otherwise why would someone as busy as him take on student council duties to welcome new students and do all that work so hard?"
"That's a film by a famous director. It's said that most of the people chosen by Director Guo have become incredibly famous."
Along the way, the name Ning Yao heard most often from the people around her was Senior Shu.
At the freshman welcome party, outstanding senior students will give speeches, mainly to encourage the freshmen's enthusiasm for learning. This senior student, Shu, is probably one of them.
Ning Yao has been away from China for years, and since returning, she has rarely paid attention to film and television works. She has never seen "Everywhere I Look, It's Her", so she knows nothing about this outstanding senior, Shu.
After the students found empty seats, a teacher quickly stood up and began the official opening remarks.
Wenna had absolutely no interest in the freshman welcome party, swiping indifferently across her phone screen, focusing intently on the content displayed.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue whispered to each other, their faces slightly flushed.
Ning Yao looked in the direction Cui Mengmeng was pointing and spotted a familiar face.
The man standing next to the red curtain below the stage was the senior who had picked her up at the school gate.
Seemingly sensing the gaze from this side, Shu Jing'an looked gently in Ning Yao's direction, then smiled brightly.
In fact, Shu Jing'an's appearance is relatively ordinary in the generally good-looking environment of the Communication University, but his presence is still eye-catching.
In performing arts departments, two types of people are most sought after: those with outstanding looks who are considered idols, and those with strong acting skills.
For actors, acting skills are of course the most important thing. If you only have a good-looking face but no acting skills, you can only be a pretty face in the future.
You can get tired of seeing the same old face, but you can improve your acting skills and bring a character on screen to life.
In Ning Yao's view, actors with good acting skills have far more value than actors who are good-looking.
Ning Yao nodded in response to Shu Jing'an's greeting.
She felt guilty towards Shu Jing'an, after all, Wen Tingye hadn't been very polite to her, his senior, when they first met.
"Senior Shu is smiling! He seems to be looking in our direction. Is he looking at me?" Cui Mengmeng, a fan of Senior Shu, cupped her cheeks in her hands, looking every bit the fangirl.
