71 Still Indecipherable

Because Luo Lan was online, she quickly replied.

'Campus Beauty Hui Yin, what can this little servant do for you? Do you have something juicy for me to eat?'

Hui Yin's left eye twitched as she read her reply. In addition to Luo Lan using her old, hated nickname, the way she phrased 'something juicy' made three black lines appear over Hui Yin's face. Luo Lan was a great gossip during their school years, and there had been more than enough incidents where Hui Yin was the target herself.

But Hui Yin had to acknowledge Luo Lan's capability to spread gossip in just a short time—something she overheard only yesterday, for example, would spread all over the campus by early morning. Even their old and toothless janitor would not be spared.

As a reporter, Luo Lan's prowess would be undoubtedly even more so.

'Next week,' typed Hui Yin. 'I'll text you the when and the where. Will you be there?'

'Will it be worth my time?' Luo Lan countered.

Hui Yin smiled grimly.

'Definitely.'

After hashing it over with Luo Lan, Hui Yin spent several days meeting with Director Sun and Sister Su. The finalized date of the PV's release was next month, while Hui Yin, with Sister Su's suggestion, finally picked out her next project to audition. It was a short teen drama series, and was not relatively popular.

Hui Yin wanted to sign up for the role of the supporting female lead, a pretty girl named Gao Mei. It was the story of how a seven-member idol group shot to fame, with each of them trying their hardest on the road to stardom. Gao Mei was a shy, pretty girl who was the best friend of the female lead, Chen Lin.

Hui Yin picked this particular series because she thought it was a bit ironic that shortly after Liu Jun made the joke that Hui Yin could be an idol, an idol-based storyline fell on her lap. It must be fate.

Aside from her continuing poverty, what Hui Yin worried about as the week came to an end was that Lu Shen seemed to have forgotten that little incident at the airport. He hadn't come knocking on her apartment door for revenge, and seemed to have temporarily forgotten her existence. Hui Yin was especially worried because before the date of the party this upcoming week, she had to fulfill her side of the contract and live at Lu Shen's place.

Was he using the strategy of 'in order to capture, one must let loose'? Was Lu Shen deliberately loosening the reins to trick Hui Yin in believing that she had a chance for freedom, so that her will to fight would be dampened by her desire to escape?

Even with her two lifetimes, Hui Yin felt that Lu Shen was still indecipherable.

On her last day in the apartment, Hui Yin started to pack her things. She only had a couple of clothes in her luggage, because she did not plan to stay long with Lu Shen.
