Wang Yue recalled his previous life when reporting for duty.
Things like bedding sets, pillows, hairdryers, and even toilet paper were all packed in large bags.
But back then, there was no choice. To save money, as tuition fees were quite expensive.
In this life, with no shortage of money, Wang Yue naturally wouldn't tire himself out. If something was missing, he'd just buy it.
"The prices in Yanjing are quite high, you know."
Xue Yan said with a smile.
"They can't be that much higher."
Wang Yue replied.
On the way, Xue Yan chatted with Wang Yue about everyday matters.
The driver suddenly said, "Young man, I think I've seen you on TV."
"Ah? Really? I haven't been on TV, have I?"
Wang Yue was taken aback.
"My memory is very good, I won't be mistaken. Let me think."
The driver said with certainty, "I remember now! You're this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination for Sichuan Province, right? And you were publicized as the first high-scoring liberal arts top scorer in Sichuan's history."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yan's eyes lit up even more.
She didn't usually pay much attention to the news, but the idea of Wang Yue being a top scorer in the college entrance examination struck her as rather astonishing.
In her impression, top scorers were usually bookish nerds. However, Wang Yue had no trace of a bookworm about him, especially with his perfect physique; one could easily mistake him for a track and field athlete.
"Beguiling a top scorer into acting?"
A thought flashed through Xue Yan's mind.
If successful, this would become a very eye-catching topic.
After all, top scorers already carried a certain aura.
Furthermore, the male protagonist of their drama was written as a top student.
Wang Yue's appearance and the role of the male protagonist in this drama were a perfect match!
Xue Yan pondered a lot. The investors were also currently looking for suitable actors. They had tentatively shortlisted some popular young idols, but none were truly satisfactory. Firstly, their age was not suitable, and secondly, these idols lacked that student-like aura.
In fact, that youthful vibe of a student was difficult to portray through acting; natural, innate youthfulness was what truly captivated people.
Wang Yue, oblivious to Xue Yan's thoughts, took out his phone and sent a message to Qiao Zixuan: "I've arrived. Going to report to school now."
Qiao Zixuan replied instantly: "You're already here? I'm packing up too. My dad will drive me to the airport tomorrow."
"Don't you feel that the air in Yanjing smells sweeter?"
Seeing this message, Wang Yue smiled and replied: "No, the air in our small town is still sweeter. After all, this is a big city."
After chatting for a while.
Wang Yue was about to put his phone away.
Then the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.
Fortunately, Wang Yue was wearing his seatbelt, otherwise, he might have taken a tumble.
"What's going on?"
Xue Yan asked.
The driver quickly said, "Boss, it looks like a staged accident."
"Staged accident?"
Wang Yue became interested. He didn't expect to encounter such an amusing incident on his first day in Yanjing.
"Ouch, ouch, I've been hit..."
A young man in front of the car was clutching his leg, crying out in pain on the ground.
The driver opened the car door, got out, and pointed at the young man, saying, "Get up, I have a dashcam. You suddenly darted out from the side of the road, weren't you trying to stage an accident?"
The young man ignored him, still clutching his leg and moaning in pain, "I've been hit, I've been hit..."
This scene quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
They all took out their phones and began filming the scene.
The driver took out his phone and said, "If you don't get up, I'm calling the police. Then the police can watch the dashcam footage, and the truth will be revealed!"
The young man heard this and cried out, "Are all rich people so arrogant? You hit someone and not only refuse to admit it, but you also try to scare me with the police? No one can change the fact that you hit me today!"
Seeing that the young man wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin, the driver took out his phone to call the police.
But at that moment, an old man rushed forward, slapped the driver's phone to the ground, and scolded, "You hit someone and you're still in the right? I can't stand people like you, thinking you own everything because you're rich?"
The driver didn't bother with the old man and was about to pick up his phone from the ground when the old man tripped him, causing him to fall directly into a nearby sewer.
"Are you crazy?!"
The driver's expression changed, and he cursed.
"The old man is crazy, he just can't stand people like you!"
The old man said righteously.
Many of the onlookers applauded.
The car door opened again, and Wang Yue and Xue Yan stepped out.
Xue Yan explained, "Sir, we didn't hit anyone. This person is staging an accident. Please don't be deceived!"
The old man completely ignored her and stubbornly said, "I don't see any trickster, I only see that you hit someone. I will uphold justice today!"
Wang Yue had witnessed the entire scene.
He had already realized that this old man was likely an accomplice, working with the young man who was staging the accident, otherwise, he wouldn't be so unreasonable.
"I don't think upholding justice requires your involvement, old sir?"
Wang Yue said with a smile.
"What, you hit someone and don't want to admit it? Don't you dare let me uphold justice?"
The old man snorted.
"I think it's better to leave the task of upholding justice to professionals."
Wang Yue said with a smile.
As he spoke, Wang Yue dialed the emergency number. Since the other side enjoyed acting, they might as well have their fill.
Wang Yue explained the situation.
Then the old man and the young man's faces changed drastically.
If the police truly arrived, they would be in serious trouble today.
The old man regretted not stepping forward to stop this reckless young man. Now, he couldn't leave, as it would be too dangerous.
"You're something, kid."
The young man, who had been groaning in pain moments ago, suddenly got up from the ground as if nothing had happened.
"I'll remember you."
The young man pointed at Wang Yue and said, then turned to leave.
The old man also started to leave.
Wang Yue stepped forward and stopped them: "Wait a moment, didn't you want to uphold justice, old sir? Why aren't you doing it now?"
"And you, my friend who was hit by the car, how come you don't seem to be injured at all?"
The young man, blocked by Wang Yue, said with some impatience, "I advise you to move aside quickly, or you'll regret it when fists and feet fly. I'll show you what cruelty is."
"Young man, this has nothing to do with me. I stepped out to uphold justice when I saw this person being hit by you. Now that I realize he's faking it, I naturally won't get involved."
The old man said shamelessly.
"Let's discuss whatever you have to say after the police arrive."
Wang Yue did not move aside, but said calmly.
"Damn it! I told you to get lost!"
The young man, growing agitated, lunged forward and pushed Wang Yue.
