Capítulo 1551: Chapter 1551: College Preference Selection (Part 9)

When she had collected all the application forms from the class, Shu Jiao didn’t leave immediately; instead, she lowered her head and diligently checked each one from the podium to ensure there were no issues before walking out.

Outside, Ruan Lei was hurrying over in a rush. Once he reached Shu Jiao, he panted and handed her an application form he had tucked inside a book.

Shu Jiao took it and glanced at it, initially looking at him in surprise before asking, “Xiaolei, what major are you planning to pursue?”

“Acting.” Ruan Lei looked at her nervously.

“Do you know that the acting major requires an art exam?” Shu Jiao’s expression was serious. She had assumed Ruan Lei would choose Qing University since his grades were promising and similar to Ruan Jiaojiao’s. As long as nothing major happened, he would have no problem getting in.

But she never expected he had applied to Beidu Film Academy.

Her expression darkened as she looked at the anxious Ruan Lei in front of her and said calmly, “Come with me to the office first.”

Ruan Lei’s face turned even paler, and his eyes were also reddened.

Ruan Jiaojiao watched from the classroom but couldn’t hear what they were saying outside, becoming incredibly anxious. Remembering Duan Xi’s extraordinary talents, she urgently asked him, “Brother Xi, do you know what they were just talking about outside?”

“He applied to Beidu Film Academy.” Duan Xi.

“Huh?” Ruan Jiaojiao was a little stunned and blinked, “Was Brother Lei doing it for Yang Tao?”

Duan Xi was silent for two seconds and then said, “Probably not.”

Although Yang Tao chose Beidu Film Academy, her choice wasn’t related to the on-camera degree, so she didn’t need an art exam. But Ruan Lei wanted to study acting, so he had to pass an art exam to apply.

Duan Xi recalled that during last year’s New Year’s holiday, Ruan Lei indeed left home for a week, and his eyes deepened.

At this moment, in the office.

Shu Jiao leaned slightly against the front of the desk while Ruan Lei stood in front of her with his head down. Shu Jiao held his application form in her hand and asked, “Xiaolei, is this the result of your discussion with your parents?”

Ruan Lei remained silent and didn’t speak.

“You’re doing this behind their backs? Why? You should know that for the acting major, if you haven’t taken the art exam, even if you score high enough, they won’t accept you.”

Ruan Lei pressed his lips tightly together, “I passed the exam.”

“Passed the exam?” Shu Jiao was genuinely surprised this time.

“Yes, last winter, when classes were suspended for a week due to ice and snow, I went to Beidu by myself.”

“You went by yourself?” Shu Jiao looked at him incredulously. Last year, because the snowfall was heavy, leading to a rare low temperature in a century, the thick ice made travel extremely difficult, and all schools in the city were closed for a week.

“Yes.” Ruan Lei still kept his head down.

Since his parents were always in Changling, during that vacation, he said he was going to Changling, so the Ruanlin Family didn’t suspect anything. However, he didn’t go to see Du Qing and the others but instead took a train to Beidu to participate in the art exam.

He kept it a secret from both sides, the Ruanlin Family thought he went to Changling, whereas Du Qing and the others assumed he was staying home obediently; no one knew that he quietly went to Beidu for the exam.

Shu Jiao looked at him and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

To go through so much effort, he must really be passionate about it.

But: “Are you doing it for Yang Tao?”

According to the information she got from Ruan Jiaojiao, that young girl seemed to be aiming for Beidu Film Academy. She was aware of the matters concerning Ruan Lei and Yang Tao.
