However, because Xu Mingyue met Lu Yanhe every few days and was witnessed by many people, she caused some controversy in the college.
Some not very nice remarks were spread.
The discussion mainly focused on whether Xu Mingyue had fallen in love with Lu Yanhe and wanted to win him over.
By the time this news reached Helan's ears, it had already been passed on by many people.
Helan was shocked when she heard this and helped to explain, "That's not the case. Mingyue is interning at Jiangyin Publishing House and happens to be in charge of the book 'Jump Up' edited by Lu Yanhe. That's why she often goes to see him. It's all about work. Don't say anything nonsense."
Helan's explanation was quickly spread by others.
Originally, Xu Mingyue was a girl who received a lot of attention in the academy.
She is beautiful and has excellent grades. She went to Jiangyin Publishing House for an internship in her sophomore year and is usually active in various activities at school. Such girls are prone to envy. When this news came out, some people immediately expressed disbelief and even made up some "past" about Xu Mingyue.
That night, Jiang Linxian brought up the matter hesitantly.
"Mingyue, are you really pursuing Lu Yanhe?"
Xu Mingyue was so frightened that she almost fell off the stool.
"What?"
Jiang Linxian said, "Everyone is saying that. They say you're always looking for Lu Yanhe."
"Who is spreading rumors!" Xu Mingyue was extremely angry, her face full of rage.
Seeing Xu Mingyue's expression, Jiang Linxian knew that this was most likely a rumor.
"You scared me! I thought you really fell in love with Lu Yanhe." Jiang Linxian said this and looked at Helan again, "What about you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a fan who likes my idol." Helan said immediately.
Jiang Linxian: "I never thought that Lu Yanhe would come to our Zhenhua and become our junior."
Helan: "What's so strange about this? He said during his live broadcast a year ago that he wanted to take the Zhenhua exam."
Jiang Linxian glanced at her silently and said, "Who would have believed it at that time?"
"I believe it." Helan said very firmly, "I have always believed it."
Jiang Linxian: “…”
She subconsciously wanted to say that this was hindsight, but when she thought about how Helan had become a fan of Lu Yanhe like a ghost over the past year, she really couldn't say the word hindsight and had to give up.
"What about you, Xu Mingyue? There are so many rumors out there." Jiang Linxian's face showed some concern for Xu Mingyue. "Now everyone thinks you are pursuing Lu Yanhe."
Helan said, "I've explained it all."
"What's the point of your explanation? Who cares what you say?" Jiang Linxian said bluntly.
Helan glanced at Jiang Linxian angrily, but he also knew that Jiang Linxian was just like that and there was no point in getting angry with her, so he held it in.
Xu Mingyue herself was still very angry.
No girl wants to hear such rumors about herself.
Jiang Linxian suddenly thought of something, frowned, and asked, "Could it be that Lu Yanhe told others that you were pursuing him? Many boys do this nowadays. To appear popular, they deliberately say that someone is showing interest in them."
"Lu Yanhe is not such a person." To Jiang Linxian's surprise, this sentence was not said by Helan, but by Xu Mingyue.
Of course, Helan immediately added angrily: "That's right!"
-
Lu Yanhe heard this news from his counselor Chen Shiqiu.
"Of course not!" Lu Yanhe was shocked and immediately explained, "Sister Mingyue only meets with me frequently because we are working on the book 'Jump Up' together."
Chen Shiqiu understood, nodded, and said, "No wonder, that's how it is. I get it."
Lu Yanhe was extremely embarrassed.
Chen Shiqiu said, "Don't worry about it. We will handle this matter. Your identity has attracted a lot of attention, so there are rumors like this. It's unavoidable. You should be mentally prepared. Anyone who gets close to you will be suspected."
Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say, "Then I won't talk to girls anymore?"
"Then they will suspect that you are gay." Chen Shiqiu raised the corner of his mouth with a smile.
The corner of Lu Yanhe's mouth twitched instantly.
Seeing Lu Yanhe like this, Chen Shiqiu laughed out loud and said, "Don't worry. They have their own mouths. Can you really change yourself because of what they have to say? What I mean is, be mentally prepared and do what needs to be done. Don't let it affect you."
"I understand. Thank you, Teacher Chen." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Shiqiu asked, "How are you adapting to college life?"
"It's fine." Lu Yanhe replied with a smile, "Everyone is fine."
Chen Shiqiu nodded. "Your agent has contacted me and also informed the hospital. If you can't return to the dormitory at night due to work reasons and need to stay outside, just remember to let me know. I'll keep a record of it."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"Don't be so polite. Sometimes you call me Teacher Chen, and sometimes I call you yours. I'm not much older than you. My students in other grades call me Brother Qiu, so you can call me Brother Qiu too." Chen Shiqiu said.
Lu Yanhe immediately called out "Brother Qiu".
Chen Shiqiu has actually only been a counselor for two years and is 26 years old this year.
Chen Shiqiu said, "Would you like to perform a piece on stage at the college's welcome party this year?"
Lu Yanhe nodded happily and said okay.
-
Lu Yanhe was initially worried that people would treat him differently because of his celebrity status. But thankfully, Zhenhua was Zhenhua, and while everyone was a bit curious about him, they didn't seem to be treating him any differently.
Both the college teachers and classmates communicated with him in a normal manner.
During the military training, Lu Yanhe was very tired but also very happy.
This method of collective training allows strangers to gradually become familiar with each other. The monotonous singing, talent shows, training, etc., although very routine, are also very effective.
Lu Yanhe was inevitably called out to perform several times, and even other camps came to invite Lu Yanhe.
Before Lu Yanhe could even say anything, he was rejected by his instructor.
"Go away, you guys from our camp, don't even think about borrowing ours. We don't even have enough time to perform for ourselves, let alone you."
The military training ended in such a bittersweet day.
On the night that the military training ended, the whole class had a dinner together and invited the instructor.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that one-third of his classmates could drink a lot of alcohol, and everyone just drank white wine.
Lu Yanhe was shocked and asked out of curiosity, only to find out that many people had already learned to drink after having had a few drinks with their parents at home, while some people had developed their drinking capacity through secret drinking on their own.
The instructor was toasted by everyone in turn, and his face was red in the end.
"No, no more drinking." The instructor waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm very happy to be your instructor and spend these ten days with you, but I really can't drink anymore."
Everyone gave up.
"You're so good at scolding us!" A girl raised her chin and snorted, "I've become eight shades darker!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
After eating and drinking, everyone gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
Lu Yanhe and Zhou Mukai are more familiar with each other because they are in the same dormitory.
They sat together, and Zhou Mukai still didn't talk much. Most of the time he just lowered his head with his phone, chatting with someone.
Lu Yanhe knew without asking that it was his girlfriend.
"Lu Yanhe--" Suddenly, a girl with sparkling eyes walked up to him.
It was his classmate, Ji Qianxing.
Lu Yanhe looked at Ji Qianxing in surprise.
Ji Qianxing asked: "Can I ask you a question?"
"Well, go ahead." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Ji Qianxing asked: "Do you have a girlfriend? Are you single?"
Lu Yanhe widened his eyes in shock.
The students around him also looked over with surprise, as if they were watching a fun event.
"Ji Qianxing, what do you mean by asking Lu Yanhe this question? You don't want to confess your love to Lu Yanhe, do you?" Zhou Qingcheng asked from the next table.
Ji Qianxing said calmly, "Why? No?"
There was a drunken flush on both sides of her cheeks.
Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Okay, I get it. Did you lose a bet with someone and are playing dare with me?"
Ji Qianxing was stunned, "Huh?"
Lu Yanhe said, "Please don't joke with me like this. If the paparazzi find out, it will be terrible."
Zhou Qingcheng pointed at Lu Yanhe and said, "What should we say if a reporter comes to ask us?"
"It's best not to say anything at all. Please, everyone, no matter what you say, they may not report it exactly as you say it. Most of the time, they will take it out of context or embellish it." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "I finally got into Zhenhua University. I just want to quietly go to college for four years and don't want to be chased by paparazzi."
Zhou Qingcheng bowed to Lu Yanhe and said, "Don't worry, we will protect you well!"
Lu Yanhe also bowed and expressed his gratitude.
When he turned around, Lu Yanhe found Ji Qianxing still standing in front of him.
Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say for a moment.
He didn't know whether Ji Qianxing understood what he meant.
Ji Qianxing saw Lu Yanhe's gaze returning to her. She looked at him deeply, smiled, and said, "Okay, then I won't ask next time."
After saying this, Ji Qianxing turned around and left, returning to his table.
Lu Yanhe looked at Ji Qianxing's back and felt inexplicably embarrassed.
-
Once the military training is over, it will be the weekend, and after the weekend, classes will start.
The freshman year curriculum is very tight, with eight required courses, but it is still much better than the overcrowded high school.
Lu Yanhe thought about it and felt that it would be a good idea to complete more credits as early as possible so that he would have more time in his junior and senior years.
So, according to his own schedule, Lu Yanhe filled in several empty spaces.
There were several courses that he really wanted to take but was not accepted. He had no choice but to give up and choose the ones he could take first.
After the class schedule was finalized, Lu Yanhe sent it to Chen Ziyan.
According to the principles set by him and Chen Ziyan, everything is based on academic studies, and work should not affect studies as much as possible.
Chen Ziyan got Lu Yanhe's class schedule to help him with his work.
In fact, Chen Ziyan would not accept work for him from Monday to Friday, at most on weekends.
Filming is even more impossible.
Although Lu Yanhe felt a little regretful, after all, his career as an artist had just started to improve. This was the time when he had the most opportunities, with work coming to him every day. Chen Ziyan said that his current market conditions were very good and he was very popular with his partners. If it weren't for Chen Ziyan's deliberate control of his exposure frequency and his very high requirements for work quality, Lu Yanhe could have taken advantage of this period to take on a lot of work and make some quick money.
Now, because of school, I may not be able to take a job for a month.
But there is no way around it.
Lu Yanhe himself also wanted to complete his studies at school.
"Young Days" was to be recorded from September 21st to 25th. Fortunately, it was recorded in Yuming. After negotiation, Lu Yanhe attended classes during class time, and returned to the program crew to participate in the recording during non-class time. He recorded on weekends when he worked to earn money.
In addition to "Young Days", there is also "City Travel Notes". Xin Zixing and Lu Yanhe made an appointment and decided to record the third episode in mid-October.
In fact, the workload has not decreased.
Chen Ziyan said, "You're really busy. You have to record 'Young Days' and 'City Travel Notes' roughly once a month. This month, 'Jump Up' will be released, and pre-sale promotion has already begun."
"These are all the jobs I've taken on before, and I have to work hard on them," Lu Yanhe said. "Now I feel fortunate to still have this job with 'City Travels,' which allows me to maintain exposure while I'm in school."
"City Travels" takes great care of Lu Yanhe. The program is made around him and the recording time is also very accommodating to him.
In comparison, the recording time of "Young Days" had been decided long ago, and he was required to cooperate.
Chen Ziyan said: "The recording of 'Young Days' will be completed in October, and then I will have a lot more time."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe said, "By the way, Sister Ziyan, when is the filming of Phoenix Terrace confirmed?"
"Not yet. I almost forgot to tell you. We need to find a time to try out makeup." Chen Ziyan said, "Director Chen said he wanted to see the results of your fitness training."
Lu Yanhe agreed.
"But I'm much tanner now. Will Director Chen be satisfied?"
"It's better to be darker. Didn't Director Chen say that? She just wants you to be more robust and toned." Chen Ziyan said, "You look much more energetic now than before, like someone who exercises regularly."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
“Fortunately, it worked.”
Chen Ziyan asked again: "How are your relationships with your roommates?"
"It's fine, everyone is very nice." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Ziyan said, "That's fine. You should be more or less careful in the dormitory. It's not that you have to be on guard against others, or that there are definitely bad people among them, but your status is different after all, and this is a place like the dormitory. If someone catches you saying or doing something and posts it online, or threatens you, it will be very difficult to deal with it."
Lu Yanhe said, "I understand, Sister Ziyan, I will pay attention."
He wasn't naive enough to say that he believed his roommate wasn't that kind of person.
He understood what Chen Ziyan meant.
Be honest with others, but don't be impulsive and believe everything others say.
-
In fact, from the first day after the military training, Lu Yanhe's life became particularly fulfilling.
"Jump Up" needs to record some promotional materials, including videos and interviews.
Xin Zixing and Xu Xiaoyin personally brought a photography team to take the photos.
They found a coffee shop near Zhenhua, negotiated with the owner for a period of time when it would be closed to the public, and let Lu Yanhe sit in the coffee shop and record a lot of VCRs, which were to be used for different e-commerce channels and large bookstores.
After recording these, he also has to record an introduction to the book, his thoughts on why he wanted to write such a book, and so on.
After recording in the cafe, I also had to record a simple Q&A session with Li Zhibai, Song Linxin, Yan Liang and others.
These are the promotional plans proposed by Xin Zixing.
Xu Xiaoyin sighed repeatedly, "You guys in the online media industry are the best at it."
"These promotional methods all rely on Lu Yanhe's connections. If these people weren't his friends, why would they come to record this?" Xin Zixing said with a serious attitude, "If it weren't for Lu Yanhe, hiring an artist to promote you would usually cost tens of thousands of yuan to record a VCR."
Xu Xiaoyin nodded. "Yes, we'll look for online book bloggers to collaborate on promotion. Their quotes are quite high."
"Before the release of 'Jump Up,' the biggest promotional point will be Lu Yanhe. After the release, we will gradually promote the content." Xin Zixing said, "You will be responsible for the physical publishing, and we will be responsible for the electronic publishing. Working together to develop and expand this IP will be of great benefit to both of us."
Lu Yanhe spent the entire weekend preparing for the promotion of "Jump Up". Later, he worked with people from several e-commerce channels to prepare various promotional materials.
After everything was done, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
He has done everything he can so far and is just waiting for the book to be officially released.
On the day of listing, I’ll post an advertisement on my social media, then talk about it in my live broadcast room and do some promotion, and that’s it.
On September 19th, the physical book of "Jump Up" was officially available for pre-sale.
On Yemai.com, the physical book of "Jump Up" is priced at 32 yuan per copy, while the e-book is priced at one-third of that, at 10.7 yuan.
"Jump Up" will be available on Yemai.com on September 25th. According to the previous agreement, the e-book will be free to read for the first three days, and will then become available for a fee when the physical book is officially released.
So far, the number of reservations for "Jump Up" on Yemai.com has exceeded 10,000.
At this moment, Chen Shiqiu suddenly found Lu Yanhe and said, "A youth association at our school asked me to ask you if you would like to hold a promotional event for 'Jump Up' at their school?"
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Chen Shiqiu introduced, "Our school's Youth Association is a student organization open to all students. We often invite experts from various fields to give speeches at the school and organize many commentary activities. You are a student of our school and have edited a book like this, which has attracted a lot of attention. They really want to invite you to participate in a sharing event."
Lu Yanhe didn't expect to receive such an invitation.
But this is also a good promotional channel. The only hesitation is that he will be very busy in the coming period and it will be difficult to find time before finishing recording "Young Days".
"Teacher Chen, of course I'd love to do something like this, but I basically don't have time anymore. I have two programs to record, and I won't be free until after the National Day holiday."
"That's fine. If you're willing, I'll let them know and have their person in charge contact you directly to confirm the time." Chen Shiqiu said, "Time isn't a problem. We'll definitely accommodate you."
"Okay, then you can ask them to contact me."
After telling Chen Shiqiu about this, Lu Yanhe prepared to return to the dormitory.
Halfway through the walk, Xiao Jing asked in the group chat: "Is there any big brother who can bring me some lunch?"
Only then did Lu Yanhe realize that it was already half past eleven.
He replied: "I'll bring it to you. What do you want to eat?"
Xiao Jing: "I'm not picky, anything is fine."
Lu Yanhe went to the nearest cafeteria.
At this point, the cafeteria has already started queuing.
As soon as Lu Yanhe appeared, he was recognized by many people. Some people even took out their phones to take pictures. In such a crowded place, Lu Yanhe still attracted a lot of attention.
He lined up behind a fried chicken rice window.
After getting to know the various canteens in the school over the past few days, I found that the windows that only offer a single option generally have the fastest queues.
Sure enough, he came soon and ordered two servings of fried chicken and rice.
The so-called fried chicken rice is rice topped with fried chicken and vegetables.
Someone immediately posted the photo of Lu Yanhe queuing for food on the school’s internal forum.
There were many people talking about it. Lu Yanhe was one of the most popular freshmen this year. Everyone recognized his appearance and the girls praised him for being handsome.
Then a few people were not very satisfied and said some unpleasant things.
The gist of it is that you shouldn't be so obsessed with Lu Yanhe just because he's a star and handsome. Many male stars in the entertainment industry have been exposed to the scandal of "selecting concubines", and Lu Yanhe may not be as good as he appears. Then it also talked about the fact that Lu Yanhe had dinner with two girls before.
This post sparked a lot of debate.
Some spoke for Lu Yanhe, and some agreed with those who questioned Lu Yanhe.
There is also a group of people who say that these questioners are boring.
The school's internal forum is a gathering place for students to chat and post nonsense. Many students are active here every day. Any big news or rumors and gossip in the school will appear in this forum first.
The controversy about Lu Yanhe soon reached Lu Yanhe's ears.
Xiao Jing said that.
"Yan He, you're really angry. There's a quarrel over you in the school forum." Xiao Jing said.
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and asked what was wrong.
Xiao Jing sent the link to the post about him on the school forum.
"Look," Xiao Jing finished, "some people are just too bored and jealous of your popularity with girls, so they keep making sarcastic comments about you. I don't know who they are."
Lu Yanhe clicked on the post and took a look, then sighed.
If possible, he really doesn't want to appear in this kind of post and be discussed in this way.
"well."
"Are you okay?" Xiao Jing asked when he heard Lu Yanhe sigh.
"It's okay." Lu Yanhe shook his head.
Xiao Jing: "Don't take what they say too seriously. They're just sour grapes."
Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.
I have class at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Lu Yanhe packed his schoolbag and went to the classroom early, ready to read for a while before class.
Xiao Jing was also in a hurry to go out and asked Lu Yanhe where he was going.
Lu Yanhe said he was going to the classroom to read.
Xiao Jing immediately gave Lu Yanhe a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are so hardworking."
"where did you go?"
"Me? I have an appointment." After Xiao Jing said this, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking a little proud.
Lu Yanhe probably knew without asking that the person Xiao Jing was dating was probably a girl.
Xiao Jing is the one in the dormitory who most wants to find a girl to date.
He always said, "If we don't act quickly, the girls in our grade will be snatched away by those single seniors." (End of this chapter)
