Jiang Se thought for a while and remembered that he had heard the girl sitting next to him mention her. Her name was Han Jiayi and she lived in the same dormitory as the beauty in the art department.
On the campus forum, because many people were always comparing her with Zhou Ying from the Art Department, many people who had a good relationship with Zhou Ying became somewhat hostile towards her. On her last birthday, Han Jiayi even targeted her.
Jiang Se packed up the books and stood up:
"You also know that you only heard it, and your teacher didn't teach you that hearing is not believing, but seeing is believing?"
Han Jiayi didn't get angry after hearing what she said. She just raised her phone and said with a smile:
"Yes, Zhu Pan held a press conference this afternoon, saying that you lied on "Film People in the Circle" last night. What do you have to say?"
Her words caused many students in the classroom to instinctively pick up their phones, and the people around Han Jiayi even leaned over to look at the news she was opening in her hand.
"Last night on 'Filmmakers in the Circle', Jiang Se mentioned that he had learned acting from a senior in the circle. Is this a way of raising his own status?" Han Jiayi read the news aloud. After reading this sentence, she raised her phone to show the people around her. After making sure that everyone around her had seen it, she looked at Jiang Se and asked with a smile:
"Zhu Pan held a press conference at 2 pm. The news has already come out. She is a popular star. She wouldn't say anything nonsense, right? Jiang Se, can you explain it?"
"explain?"
Jiang Se heard from Yu Xiaozhou and others in the dormitory that morning that Zhu Pan was going to hold a press conference. When she heard the news read by Han Jiayi, she realized that Zhu Pan was trying to shift the blame to someone else and draw public attention to himself so that Zhu Pan could use this opportunity to get away with it.
After reacting, Jiang Se suppressed his anger and asked with a smile:
"Who are you? What obligation do I have to explain to you? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Han Jiayi didn't expect her to say that. She was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Se packed up his things and stood up:
"Are you a person of status, fame, or position? This is the first institution of higher learning, not a place for your entertainment and gossip."
After hearing this, some of the students around couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh quietly.
Han Jiayi was still young, and she was almost in tears after being ridiculed by her.
The classmates in the classroom looked at her with sympathy, and Jiang Se didn't give her any face at all. She stood there for a moment, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore, so she covered her mouth and ran away crying.
When Jiang Se came out of the classroom, he took out his cell phone and saw that it was already four o'clock.
She had muted her cell phone during class, and Pei Yi called her seven or eight times, but she didn't answer.
After calling Pei Yi, he quickly answered the call:
"Sese, is get out of class over?"
She hummed softly and asked:
"Ayi, you called me for something?"
"Don't come out from the main gate of the school. There are already several cars parked in front of the school gate for filming." After Pei Yi sent Jiang Se to school in the morning, he went home to take a shower and change clothes. When he estimated the time for Jiang Se to pick her up after class, he found that there were several cars at the school gate that looked a little strange. After calling someone to check, he found that these cars were registered under several studios that filmed celebrity scandals.
He drove around and found the west gate of the Magnolia Campus. The road here was narrow, with only one way in and out. There were not many vehicles and students passing by normally, so he did not notice any trace of the paparazzi.
Pei Yi had agreed with Jiang Se to wait for her at the west gate. When she came over, Pei Yi's car had been parked at the gate for a while. He parked in front of the electronic pole in the direction of the school exit. There were already several cars waiting to leave the school behind him. The school security did not dare to step forward to drive him away. He stood against the car door with his legs crossed, wearing a dark gray cashmere coat, and was stretching his neck to look towards the campus. When he saw Jiang Se coming from afar, he stood up straight and strode towards her.
She was holding a few borrowed books, and Pei Yi took them over:
"It's so heavy. If I had known earlier, I would have gone into the school to pick you up."
She walked all the way from the classroom, which took about ten minutes, with her hair draped over her shoulders and her cheeks rosy.
Pei Yi reached out and hooked her hair behind her ears, his fingertips hooked behind her slender neck, without removing his hand:
"Sese, the place you rented should no longer be habitable."
She raised her head, her eyes full of doubt, which made Pei Yi's throat itch. He coughed twice before opening the car door for her. He also put her things in the car, started the car, and then said:
"The address of the house you rented has been dug out by someone."
The power of the media and fans is much greater than Jiang Se imagined. In fact, when she was found at the subway station this morning and someone speculated about her residential address on Weibo, Jiang Se had already expected that this day would come. She also privately considered renting a house somewhere else.
But she didn't expect that this day would come so soon. Before she could react, the location of the rented house in the afternoon was exposed.
"Zhu Pan said a lot of nonsense at the press conference this afternoon. Now there are reporters downstairs and outside your community." Pei Yi carefully concealed the excitement in his heart and glanced at Jiang Se:
"How about you just stay at my house for a while?"
In the afternoon, when Pei Yi found out that Zhu Pan was talking nonsense at the press conference, he was a little angry. But as Jiang Se's residence was exposed and reporters were chasing her downstairs and outside the school, Pei Yi felt that the opportunity had come.
"I'm usually the only one at home, so you don't have to worry about the security facilities. Reporters won't be able to find me." He tried hard not to let the corners of his mouth curl up: "If, if you think this is not a good idea, we can register first. Even if someone finds out in the future, it will be legitimate."
He secretly looked at Jiang Se's face:
"Of course, I'm not afraid of what others say. I'm just worried about what others say about you."
Jiang Se hooked the seat belt with his fingertips and said nothing.
The incident became a big deal. After returning to Pei Yi's house, Jiang Se turned on the computer and went online. Zhu Pan had just finished a press conference in the afternoon and was now on the headlines again.
In the news photos, her eyes were red and tears were in her eye sockets, and they were about to fall. Many of Zhu Pan's fans have begun to speak up for her.
In a video clip released at the press conference, Zhu Pan's voice choked with sobs:
"I didn't pull my skirt on purpose during Sheng's interview last night. I just heard an actress from the same crew mention learning acting skills from 'seniors' in the industry. I was so surprised that I didn't pay attention to the occasion and lost my composure. I apologize to everyone here for the negative impact caused to my fans, Director Zhao, the crew of "The 99th Love Letter", Sheng and the program "Filmmakers in the Circle"." (To be continued)
