Chapter 692 - 35: The Cannon Fodder Actress Opposing the Slacker Female Lead (Part 35)

"That kid is feeling guilty, definitely doesn’t dare to let Lu Huan pursue this matter."

Little Buding’s tone was angry.

"Those beast traps are terrifying, they can crush bones. People like him should be in jail."

Jiang Lai chuckled lightly.

"Then let’s send him to jail. It’s not just targeting us, but every guest who might appear there."

What’s that called?

Potential terrorist, antisocial personality, committing crimes and already succeeded.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai looked at Jiang Qu.

"That classmate of yours, Lu Ming, is the same age as you, right?"

As soon as Jiang Qu heard Lu Ming’s name, his brows knitted tightly, but he still nodded.

"We’re classmates, so of course we’re the same age, but he seems a little older than me."

Why remember so clearly? Because at Lu Ming’s birthday party last year, he invited the whole class except him.

Classmates who attended the birthday party curiously asked why he didn’t accept Lu Ming’s invitation.

That’s when Jiang Qu found out, Lu Ming told everyone he had already invited him, and it was he who refused to go.

But from start to finish, Jiang Qu hadn’t received any message.

Everything was spoken from Lu Ming’s mouth.

Because of these small things, classmates formed a bias against him, and an isolated Jiang Qu simply let go, not joining any circle or talking to anyone.

Jiang Qu remembered this for a long time, so he remembers Lu Ming’s birthday very clearly.

"Do you know about what month?"

"Why are you asking?"

"To see if he’s handsome enough to join his fan club and cheer him on."

"..."

Jiang Qu’s face visibly turned displeased.

He stared at Jiang Lai, his mouth tight.

"When did you go blind?"

"Come on, just a rough idea is fine."

"Why do you think I’d know? I’m not even close to him."

Jiang Lai calmly looked at him.

"Because he bullies you, so you must know him well."

After all, everyone subconsciously wants to understand why they became the target of bullying to understand the bully.

Jiang Qu remained silent, lowered his head, and after a while, mumbled.

"Probably the end of September."

School just started, his birthday party.

That was when high school just started, all classmates were new faces, he also wanted to blend in, but ended being drenched with cold water.

He even remembers the exact date.

It’s almost a year now, and he hasn’t forgotten a bit.

Jiang Lai was lost in thought.

Still a month left...

"You still haven’t told me why you want to know these things."

"Kid, you’re about to turn sixteen, if you make a mistake, you’ll be criminally responsible, you know?"

Jiang Qu looked confused.

"I won’t do anything illegal."

"I know, just reminding you."

Since Lu Ming left the show, Jiang Qu has clearly become more relaxed, smiling more, and occasionally joking with Jiang Lai while doing tasks.

The new guest was also a pair of siblings.

The sister, Liao Ming, is an internationally renowned martial arts star, with short hair and dressed smartly, causing a cheer when she arrived on set.

The brother, Liao Yuan, was a fair-skinned boy, wearing glasses, looking reserved and shy. His eyes lit up whenever he saw Jiang Lai and would occasionally sneak a peek at her.

The remaining ten days of recording ended smoothly, Liao Ming proactively exchanged contact information with Jiang Lai and handed her a notebook.

"Truth be told, my brother really likes you, his room is filled with your posters, and he insisted on coming to this show because of you.

I told him to come himself, but he was too shy, so I, as his sister, had to step up.

Do me a favor and sign this for him, it will make him so happy he won’t be able to sleep."

Jiang Lai happily signed her name in the notebook.

Before leaving, the shy boy suddenly ran off his nanny’s car and went straight to Jiang Lai, while the live broadcast camera was still on.

At about the same age as Jiang Qu, nearly six feet tall, with a notably fair and good-looking face, red lips and white teeth like a girl.

Facing Jiang Lai, he hesitated for a long time and finally said softly.

"Jiang Lai sister, can I also add you on WeChat?"

"Sure."

Liao Yuan eagerly pulled out his phone. Upon seeing Jiang Lai’s WeChat avatar, his heart was racing.

After adding, Liao Yuan wanted to say something more, but Jiang Qu shouted nearby.

"Sis! The car’s here! Hurry up!"

Jiang Lai nodded to Liao Yuan and turned to leave.

After getting in the car, Jiang Qu lowered the window, deeply looking out the opposite side.

"What was he talking to you about?"

"He asked for my WeChat."

"He looks sneaky and deceitful, not like a good person, we should stay away from him."

Jiang Qu applied prejudices with full flair.

Seeing Jiang Lai not speaking, he continued to mutter to himself.

"Don’t believe it, he’s quite a flirt."

"Oh, I heard from his sister you two go to the same school."

The best high school in the city is that one, basically, anyone with some background studies there.

Jiang Qu is an art special admit, like Lu Ming, both taking the art exam route.

"He’s different from us, he got in on his own, last year’s top scorer in the secondary school exam, was first in every test all year, and by a wide margin too.

People of such high intelligence are not suitable as friends."

"Where did you get that notion?"

A complete set of ideas.

"In any case, he’s very popular with the girls, half of the posts on the school confession wall are about him."

"What about the other half?"

Jiang Qu maintained a stern face.

"Two are mine, three are Lu Ming’s."

After all, the two were child stars, which is quite attractive to the school’s girls.

"The two of you combined aren’t as popular as him, tsk tsk tsk, jealousy, this is pure jealousy."

"Why would I be jealous of him, that bookworm."

Jiang Lai smiled and said nothing.

He lowered his head, looked at the latest WeChat message on his phone.

After verifying, Liao Yuan sent her a smiley face.

Jiang Lai didn’t reply after reading it, turned off the phone, and closed her eyes to rest.

In another nanny car, at the back seat, Liao Yuan stared at the screen for a long time.

"Don’t keep staring at the phone, you already have nearsightedness."

"Hmm."

"Look at Jiang Qu, doesn’t wear glasses, looks so sunny and handsome, you should hang out with him more, don’t just bury your head in books, get some exercise once in a while."

"Hmm."

"Are you even listening to me? What are you looking at? Waiting for someone’s message?"

Liao Yuan looked up, his gaze, under the glasses, was a little abstracted.

"Sis, do you know much about Jiang Lai?"

"Not really, why?"

"Does she have a boyfriend?"

"... Why are you asking this? It’s her privacy, how would I know? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even have participated in this variety show or met her."
