Chapter 21: The forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst

Zhuang Muxi, who lives next door, is only 17 years old this year.

She was born in Taiwan and moved to Hong Kong after graduating from junior high school. She is not only beautiful but also innocent and seems to be quite a soft girl.

The feelings of innocent girls are always beautiful, and it makes people feel comfortable to get along with them.

But Fan Wumian wants to do too many things, and his ambitions are so big that even a small port city cannot accommodate them. For the time being, he doesn't think he has the energy to seriously manage a relationship.

What's more, the other party studies piano, while he plays guitar, so the two may not be suitable for each other.

Having been in Hengdian for many years, Fan Wumian has seen many campus couples in the entertainment industry who suddenly break up after one of them becomes successful.

This is not just realism or snobbery.

A big part of the reason is that the circle has gradually changed, everyone has gradually lived a different life, and gradually lost common topics.

For example, some actors need to be separated from their lovers for several months when they go out to film a movie, and have to stay with the beautiful women or handsome men in the same crew all day long. Not many couples can endure this kind of anxious and fearful situation for a long time.

Even if they can really hold on, one will go home and talk about how hard work is, doing boring work day after day, while the other will do interviews, film movies, walk the red carpet, take advertising endorsements, and live a free and interesting life. There is no way they can be in sync like they were in the honeymoon period.

The former Fan Wumian was so obsessed with pursuing the school beauty Zuo Ziyan for several years, and was willing to be a fool who would not turn back until he hit a wall.

Now his thinking is more mature and rational.

It's hard to be like a teenager who can throw everything away and risk his life for a relationship.

Lying on the creaking spring bed at night, Fan Wumian recalled many things that had happened recently and felt that Zhuang Muxi seemed to have a great affection for him.

Thinking of her cute face when she asked him what benefit she wanted with a shy face, Fan Wumian looked up at the ceiling with his eyes open and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"It was a close call. We almost fell in love."

According to the atmosphere on the balcony just now, if he said, "I like you so much, be my girlfriend," Zhuang Muxi would most likely not choose to refuse, and the chances of success would be at least 70%.

Reason told him that it would be better not to mess with a 17-year-old girl before he was ready.

His emotion told him that it was quite exciting to think about it, and there was no need to worry too much.

Moreover, for many things, you don't necessarily have to be fully prepared before taking action.

Although the forced melon is not sweet, it can quench your thirst, so that you don’t have to break branches in vain after the flowers wither.

I fell asleep in a daze and had a sweet dream until dawn.

dreaming.

Fan Wumian dreamed that Zhuang Muxi was wearing a swimsuit, and the two of them were chasing each other, laughing and playing, and then they went into the woods beside the beach together.

Unfortunately, he woke up just after dreaming about this. After opening his eyes, he still felt the aftertaste.

----------

Since signing a contract with Huiwen Daily and starting to write novels in the newspaper column, Fan Wumian has found another way to make a temporary living and save up his first pot of gold.

His level of attention to the middle school singing competition has plummeted.

However, if he wins the second place and wins a prize of 25000 yuan, it is still very tempting for him. If he has to write 2500 words every day, he will have to work hard for 10 days and consume a lot of brain cells to earn this money.

In order to save up enough money to make a movie as soon as possible and realize his dream that he has been holding back for more than ten years, Fan Wumian hopes to seize every opportunity to make money.

After getting up in the morning.

After brushing his teeth and washing up, he sang "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" to practice his voice, then went out with his guitar on his back and the matching, tuned-up speakers in his hand.

It was only around 7:36, so I went downstairs to have a bowl of beef porridge with egg, shrimp dumplings and tea eggs, which cost me yuan in total.

As the old saying goes, a grown-up boy can eat his father into poverty.

Fan Wumian had long discovered that his appetite was much larger than in his previous life, and he ate a lot without realizing it.

In order not to be late for the singing competition, I walked to Kowloon Guangming College, a private school, to eat. The competition venue was arranged in the gymnasium of this school. The total distance was 700 to 800 meters.

Strolling along the way, as soon as Fan Wumian entered the gate of Kowloon Guangming Academy, he saw a few young men standing next to a cool Lamborghini.

Among them was a red-haired man who pointed at Fan Wumian from a distance and shouted:
"I tolerated it before, but you actually dared to come to my territory! Miss Zuo will be my fiancée in the future, so I advise you to be sensible and stay away from her. Otherwise, if you don't follow the code of conduct, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"."

Fan Wumian remained silent.

It feels like the villain I wrote has appeared in reality. I didn't expect that there are actually people who speak like this in real life. It sounds quite embarrassing.

The tall red-haired guy wearing a leather jacket and a gold necklace in the hottest weather is none other than the "big brother" of Kowloon Guangming College, Mak Shu Lai. Today's Yau Tsim Mong Secondary School singing competition is also sponsored by his wealthy father.

Fan Wumian had long known that he and Zuo Ziyan were in the same circle, and he had never had a good impression of this love rival.

But that's all in the past. At the moment, I just think this guy's attitude is a bit funny. I guess he was also poisoned by "Young and Dangerous".

Just when Mr. Mai thought that he had said such harsh words and that today would be difficult to resolve, Fan Wumian unexpectedly said in a calm tone:
"Okay, but according to the rules, shouldn't you take out 100 million and throw it in front of me, and then tell me to stay away from her? Do you have any manners? You actually came here empty-handed?"

"???"

Fan Wumian's tone was too serious.

For a moment, Mai Shuli actually felt that he had done something wrong, but fortunately he quickly came to his senses and said angrily, "Am I crazy? Why should I give you 100 million? You are crazy about money!"

It's really a bit crazy.

Fan Wumian spread his hands and said, "I can choose not to date her, but if she falls in love with me and starts pursuing me, then it has nothing to do with me."

After hearing this.

Mai Shuli and his followers all laughed. One short, fat, fair-skinned man laughed especially loudly, saying:

"Don't you see how well-off Miss Zuo's family is? She drives a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and you walked here. It would be strange if she could pursue you!"

"Haha! Yes! If she turns around and pursues you, I will accept it!" Mai Shuli continued.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Young Master Mai is a smart man. He knows that he can be arrogant in Guangming Academy. However, poor hooligans like Fan Wumian who have a "reputation" are really more terrifying.

Therefore, the purpose today is just to take the opportunity to make my attitude clear and to earn some favor points from Zuo Ziyan.

Too lazy to pay attention to them, Fan Wumian just said:
"The original line is from the movie "Black Gold" starring Andy Lau and Ka Fai, 'We all drive Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce, you drive a Mazda, no wonder you get stuck in traffic'. The line is very classic and the adaptation is also good. It almost hit me hard."

I kept repeating to myself, "Young people with two deficiencies are more happy."

With his guitar on his back and smiling, Fan Wumian walked around them and continued walking towards the stadium.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a private school. Not only is its infrastructure more luxurious than Trinity College, but its area is also much larger. No wonder it can charge two or three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars in tuition fees every year.

Seeing that Fan Wumian was calm and not intimidated by him at all, Mai Shuli was actually a little impressed and felt that he had learned some new knowledge about how to be a "big brother".

Just like Chen Haonan in "Young and Dangerous", the younger brothers like to make a lot of noise, while the big brother is always quiet. He may not take action, but when he does, he is ruthless enough to keep the situation under control.

However, in front of his followers, Master Mai would not show his weakness and only said:

"As expected of him who took down Trinity College, he has some guts. He remained calm even when surrounded by so many of us. No wonder he dared to pursue Miss Zuo."

A little follower boasted:
"So what if he's still arrogant? Big Mac wants to be a star! He'll show up in the newspaper tonight, find a record company to release a few albums, and charm a lot of female fans. He's just arrogant in school, and in the future he might have to work as a cleaner and clean toilets to barely support his family!"

After listening to this, Mai Shuli smiled and said with satisfaction:
"That's right, my dad has arranged it all!"

"I'm going to say hello to the reporter first and ask him to take a better-looking picture of me later."

"Now anyone can sing. If you want to be famous, how can you do it without some connections and family background? Even big names like Lam Tsz-cheung and Eason Chan were invited by my dad to come and help me. Today is the day I debut and become famous."
