Chapter 122: Two Names
Yu Wanwan: [Morning!]
It was Saturday, and this was the first time Pu Tong had received a greeting from Yu Wanwan so early in the morning. This time, it really was early.
Judging by her usual schedule, she probably wouldn't get up until nine or ten...
It seemed filming the show was putting quite a bit of pressure on her. After all, she'd be on camera, so she couldn't just treat it casually.
Pu Tong: [Has filming not started yet?]
Yu Wanwan: [The filming crew is still on the way.]
Xu Lei had really gone all out, assigning each of them a small production team. It looked like he cared a great deal about Episode 6.
Yu Wanwan was probably worried that the other two hadn't woken up yet, so she directly @mentioned Lin Yuxi and Yi Zhi Xuenai in the group chat to ask if they were ready.
Lin Yuxi: [Thanks for the invite. I'm already heading out to practice dancing. There's absolutely no way my house can be filmed.]
Although she said it casually, Pu Tong could still tell from between the lines that her house was probably a complete mess...
Yu Wanwan: [What about Xuenai? Don't tell me you're still asleep?]
If the production crew arrived and she still wasn't up, that would be way too embarrassing.
Yi Zhi Xuenai: [I'm getting up, I'm getting up...]
Seriously, who understands this? It's Saturday and I still have to get up early. How is anyone supposed to live like this?
Xu Lei favorability -10086.
Pu Tong: [You guys have fun filming. I won't bother you. If anything interesting happens, post it in the group. I'll check it out when I have time.]
To be fair, Pu Tong actually thought this episode sounded pretty interesting...
At school, these celebrities all looked like ordinary students. They wore their uniforms when they were supposed to and behaved themselves. But what they were really like in private, Pu Tong honestly had no idea.
Everything he'd ever seen of them had been at school.
Yu Wanwan: [Want to know what we usually wear at home? What we're like?]
Pu Tong: [?]
Now you've got my attention!
School uniforms certainly highlighted youthful charm to some extent, but other clothes had their own appeal too. The three young celebrities were all so pretty—surely they looked different in casual clothes.
Pu Tong: [Sorry, not interested.]
So what?
Just beautiful skeletons beneath the skin.
Pu Tong asked himself honestly—he wasn't some old pervert. Things like this were bad for both body and mind, so of course he had to refuse!
Yu Wanwan: [You're no fun.]
She really wanted to show Pu Tong another side of herself. She even suspected that the reason he never reacted to her was because the school uniform hid her charm.
Anyway, Yu Wanwan had made up her mind. Whether Pu Tong wanted to see it or not, she'd send it first!
She found a good angle, took a selfie, and posted it directly in the group chat...
Sending it privately would make her seem too proactive. Posting it in the group made it look more like she was just sharing her daily life.
In truth, she only wanted one person to see it.
When Pu Tong saw the photo she sent, he tapped it open anyway. He hadn't planned to look, but since you'd already posted it, he figured he should at least do you the courtesy.
In the photo, Yu Wanwan wore a white round-collar blouse. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with delicate thread patterns. Her complexion looked smooth and jade-like. Compared to her usual appearance, she seemed a little less sweet and a little more elegant.
Maybe this was what a rich young lady looked like in everyday life?
He'd have to compare it with her school-uniform version. Pu Tong immediately saved the picture.
Of course, it was mainly so he could compare it with her school-uniform look. There definitely weren't any other motives.
Yi Zhi Xuenai: [Oh? Since you've posted one, if we don't, it'll make us look stingy!]
The Japanese girl hadn't noticed Yu Wanwan's little scheme at all. Her world wasn't full of twists and hidden meanings. She simply thought everyone was sharing their daily lives.
Yu Wanwan: [Post one, post one. Hurry up.]
If she was the only one posting selfies, it really would seem strange. If the others posted too, she wouldn't look so awkward.
Yi Zhi Xuenai immediately uploaded a picture. There was absolutely no photography technique or posing involved—it was a genuine casual snapshot.
She wore a light blue three-quarter-sleeve top with wide sleeves that resembled a kimono. It fit closely, making her waist look slender while making her chest appear much fuller.
What?
The Japanese girl wasn't flat-chested after all?
Pu Tong felt like he'd really had his eyes opened. So there was such a huge difference between how they looked at school and at home.
Yeah...
Huge.
Lin Yuxi: [I wasn't planning to post one, but now that you all have, I feel a little embarrassed.]
As clever as she was, she'd noticed Yu Wanwan's little intentions from the very beginning.
Lin Yuxi: [Image]
Her pair of long legs instantly left everyone else in the group stunned...
Just an ordinary pair of blue jeans with white sneakers perfectly emphasized the advantage of her long legs, making them impossible to ignore.
Yu Wanwan: [Really nice.]
Yu Wanwan: [So pretty!]
Yu Wanwan: [Absolutely gorgeous!]
...
She didn't mean anything by it.
She just wanted to quickly push that picture further up the chat history.
She couldn't let Pu Tong be tempted by her!
Pu Tong, however, had no such worldly desires. After getting a general idea of what they were like in everyday life, he put away his phone and stopped chatting.
Come to think of it...
The only photo he'd saved was Yu Wanwan's.
The conversation in the group ended there. Yu Wanwan tossed her phone aside and continued reviewing while waiting for the production crew to arrive.
She wasn't just talking when she said she'd study on weekends.
She genuinely wanted to work hard and get good grades. Whether for herself or for other reasons, it was important.
Her foundation wasn't as solid as Pu Tong's, so she could only start with textbooks and notes. She had even borrowed Pu Tong's notes to take home so she could review them carefully.
Before long, the doorbell rang. Yu Wanwan put down her pen and walked into the living room.
Jiang Yun opened the door and let several cameramen inside. Leading them was Lao Yang, whom Yu Wanwan already knew.
"Sorry to bother you!" Lao Yang smiled awkwardly, looking a little restrained.
"It's fine. Just film normally. The director has probably already told you what you should and shouldn't shoot, right?" Jiang Yun looked at them, reminding them once again.
"Of course, of course."
Their biggest headache when filming was usually Pu Tong. Since this time they were only filming the celebrities' daily home lives without him, there wasn't much pressure.
Following Yu Wanwan into her room, they didn't even dare film randomly. The camera stayed focused on her the whole time.
"I'm just going to study. Film if you want."
Treating the cameramen as if they didn't exist, Yu Wanwan sat down at her desk and began her review plan.
"Well..."
The cameramen all felt a headache coming on.
They were filming a variety show. Even if there wasn't a script, filming nothing but studying would be far too monotonous.
At least interact a little. Say something.
Seeing how completely absorbed Yu Wanwan was in studying, they didn't dare make any requests.
They simply kept filming for quite a while, only to discover that all Yu Wanwan did was study. There wasn't the slightest hint of variety-show entertainment.
This scene of doing nothing but studying felt strangely familiar.
Wasn't this exactly Pu Tong's style?
Had Yu Wanwan been "Pu Tong-ified" too?
When Yu Wanwan finally put down her pen to take a break, Lao Yang hurried over to strike up a conversation.
"Do you usually study this seriously too?"
"Not really. It's just that finals are next week, so I figured I'd do some reviewing."
Yu Wanwan answered honestly. She had no intention of putting on any kind of persona.
"Do you have any unique study tips or insights?"
Lao Yang suddenly felt like this question-and-answer format resembled an interview. But Yu Wanwan interacted so little that he had no other choice.
"Not really. Studying is important. Even though I'm an entertainer, I still need to learn a lot of knowledge."
Yu Wanwan didn't want to chat with them any longer and turned to go to the bathroom.
"What do we do now..."
Lao Yang looked helplessly at the other two cameramen.
She just sat there studying. There was absolutely no variety-show appeal. Would anyone really enjoy watching this?
"Let's film some little study details. That way we'll have richer footage later," one of the female cameramen suggested. Since the content itself was dull, they could at least make the details interesting.
Lao Yang nodded and began filming Yu Wanwan's desk.
What subjects she was studying, the exercises she was doing, whether her handwriting looked nice...
All of those could become talking points later.
As he casually swept the camera across the desk, his attention was suddenly drawn to a closed notebook.
Beneath its transparent cover, on the blank first page, two names stood out clearly.
They were two names.
Pu Tong and Yu Wanwan.
