Huayu: It's normal for me, as a director, to mentor young actresses, right?

Chapter 42 Shura Field! Come on!

As soon as Dilraba finished speaking, the eyes of the two old men who were chatting with the teachers from the Shanghai Theatre Academy lit up at the same time.

Lin Yu felt his body stiffen.

His eyes unconsciously scanned his surroundings, hoping that another good brother would come to his rescue.

Lin Gengxin and Wang Yanlin stood not far away, their faces practically screaming "What a lucky guy!" The teacher leading the group from the Shanghai Theatre Academy was completely bewildered, not understanding what was going on.

As for Lin Yu's two masters...

Tsk, I can't wait to see my good apprentice suffer.

"What's wrong?" Reba felt that Lin Yu was acting strange today. "If you don't want to go, that's fine too."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yu felt as if he had found a way out.

"I might..."

Seeing Dilraba's increasingly dangerous gaze, Lin Yu ultimately decided not to say the rest of his sentence.

Lin Yu sighed, resigned to his fate, "Send me the address, I'll be there on time tonight."

Reba nodded. "My fellow villager will give me the address later, and I'll send it to you."

At this point, she suddenly paused, as if she had realized something.

"Wait a minute, isn't my fellow townsman in the same grade as you? You should know him."

Lin Yu nodded stiffly, thinking to himself, "Of course I know him, we're very familiar with each other."

"That's perfect, we're all acquaintances, so it won't be awkward." Dilraba smiled. "I'll be going now, see you tonight."

"Okay." Lin Yu managed to squeeze out a single word from his throat.

Watching Dilraba's departing figure, Lin Yu felt a little exhausted.

He thought he had escaped safely today. Little did he expect there would be another ordeal.

Before Lin Yu could even think of a way out, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Wang Jinsong had taken out his phone.

Then he dialed the number.

"Nazha!"

Wang Jinsong's voice was warm and enthusiastic, and his face was all smiles, like a kind elder.

"Didn't you sign up for my elective course before? I've been busy lately, but since you all have some time tonight, why don't you freshmen who signed up for the course meet up and arrange your schedules?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes instantly regained their sparkle.

My teacher still loves me! I will always be a member of the Performing Arts Department!

"Oh, it's not particularly important," Wang Jinsong's smile widened. "Are you busy tonight?"

"Oh, it's a hometown gathering. No problem, no problem. Have you made a reservation at the restaurant? If you're not familiar with it, I can help you make a reservation."

Wang Jinsong glanced at Lin Yu, his eyes full of amusement.

"No trouble at all, helping my students is also a teacher's duty."

Wang Jinsong's tone was so sincere that Lin Yu wanted to strangle him.

"Oh, it's all set, roast duck, right? Okay, I'll have a classmate send you a copy of tonight's schedule."

I hung up the phone.

Wang Jinsong turned around and met Lin Yu's incredulous gaze.

Lin Yu looked at Wang Jinsong, never expecting that the old man would go to such lengths just to watch a show.

Believe it or not, I'll apply to transfer to the directing department tomorrow!

"Alright, Old Tian." Wang Jinsong put away his phone, clapped his hands, and said, "You're treating me to dinner tonight."

"Let's have roast duck."

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded and waved his hand, "Sure thing, eat as much as you want today, I'll cover the bill."

Lin Yu stood there, feeling his blood pressure soaring.

Are there any other departments at Beijing Film Academy hiring? I'm leaving tonight!

"Teachers," Lin Yu took a deep breath, "is it really worth going to such lengths just to watch a show?"

"You don't understand," Tian Zhuangzhuang's tone suddenly became very serious, "Your teacher Wang and I have been working tirelessly for your movie these past few months. Now that it's finally being released, can't your teacher even watch a movie and relax a bit?"

He looked at Lin Yu with an air of complete entitlement.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu, who always paid attention to his image, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Come on, everyone, no one is leaving tonight."

Lin Yu said this through gritted teeth.

Before Lin Yu could say anything more, his phone rang.

"No need to look, it's Nazha's call," Lin Yu took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Nazha, what's wrong?" Lin Yu's tone was very calm.

"Brother Yu! Are you free tonight?" Nazha's voice was very excited. "I met someone from my hometown at the premiere today, and we're meeting up for dinner tonight."

Lin Yu really wanted to say that he didn't have time, but he reluctantly agreed, "Okay, give me the address, I'll be there on time tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu stood there, staring at his phone screen for a few seconds in a daze.

He really wanted to ask Han Sanping if the celebration banquet could be held tonight, so he could find a way to make a living.

A hand patted his shoulder.

Wang Jinsong stood behind him, his face showing the joy of someone who had just eaten melon seeds.

See you tonight on time.

-----------------

Lin Yu spent the afternoon grooming himself at home, hoping his handsome face would evoke pity from the two Xinjiang girls.

At least don't go too far.

Lin Yu appeared downstairs at Nazha's dormitory building right on time in the afternoon.

The two went to a roast duck restaurant near the Beijing Film Academy. Nazha said she wanted to take Dilraba to try the academy's specialty dishes.

"Brother Xiaoyu, you look so handsome today." Nazha lightly took Lin Yu's arm.

She looked stunning today.

A light blue denim jacket over a white T-shirt, paired with beige wide-leg pants.

After signing up and receiving training under Wang Jinghua for a period of time, his aesthetic sense improved significantly.

Lin Yuqian chuckled, "Of course I have to dress up a bit when I go out to meet your friends."

Naza laughed too, "What? You must know her too, she's the actress from your movie, Dilraba."

"Yes, I know." Lin Yu first laid the groundwork for Nazha, so that she would be prepared. "She also messaged me today, saying that we should have dinner together tonight."

Naza paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Oh, so you two are quite familiar with each other?"

"We are quite familiar with each other," Lin Yu carefully chose her words, "after all, we've been filming together for so long."

Naza nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yu noticed Nazha's silence and asked worriedly, "Are you unhappy?"

"No," Nazha shook her head, turned her face, and gave Lin Yu a bright smile. "I took my boyfriend to meet a fellow villager I just met. How could I not be happy?"

Her tone was light and cheerful.

Lin Yu sighed and didn't ask any further questions. "Let's go, the driver is waiting at the door."

When we arrived at the roast duck restaurant, there weren't many people there, and we all knew each other.

In a corner, Wang Jinsong and Tian Zhuangzhuang sat at a table, leisurely drinking tea.

Upon seeing Lin Yu enter, the two old men simultaneously looked up, appearing somewhat serious.

Lin Yu pretended not to see and pulled Nazha upstairs to the private room.

"Hey, young man!"

The proprietress came out from behind the counter and stopped them.

"I'm sorry, there's a problem with the electrical wiring upstairs, so the private rooms are temporarily unavailable."

Her tone was apologetic.

"I'll find you a table downstairs, is that alright?"

Lin Yu frowned and looked at Nazha: "How about we go to another store? The lobby is too crowded and noisy."

Naza thought Lin Yu's words made sense and was planning to switch to another store.

The door was pushed open.

Dilraba walked in.
