Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Idol Sensation
Zhou Zhishan glanced at Zhu Jun: "I’m not interrupting your conversation, right? Otherwise, I’ll head over there first."
Zhu Jun’s gaze swept over Zhou Zhishan, and seeing her cautious demeanor, he surmised that she was likely Li Feng’s girl.
"Not interrupting, we’ve talked about most of the business. Feel free to join us."
Zhou Zhishan didn’t respond and looked towards Li Feng.
"Ask your schoolmates if they’re willing to share a table, they can come over. If not, you should go keep them company."
Upon hearing Li Feng’s suggestion, Zhou Zhishan nodded, turned, and walked to the street. After whispering a bit with them, none of the girls refused and followed Zhou Zhishan into the food stall.
"These are my junior schoolmates from the Dance Academy: Han Ying, Zhao Yan, and Yu Wenhui."
Li Feng gave a nod: "Since you’re Zhishan’s juniors, make yourselves at home. Order whatever you like."
The three girls were outgoing too, pulling over chairs to sit. The girl named Han Ying gave Li Feng a sparkling look.
"Hey there, handsome, aren’t you going to introduce yourself?"
Li Feng looked at Han Ying sitting next to him: "Li Feng."
"Han Ying."
With crescent eyes squinted, Han Ying extended her hand. Seeing how straightforward she was, Li Feng shook it.
"So now we’re acquaintances. Handsome guy, take care of me in the future, alright?" Han Ying said, lifting a bottle of beer.
"Cheers first."
Watching as she downed a whole bottle in one go and then smacked her lips with satisfaction, Li Feng thought to himself, what a fighter.
"A Northern beauty, I see. Quite bold." Zhu Jun also looked over at Han Ying.
"Haha, I’m just average with drinking. Let me toast to you too, bro."
With no hesitation, Han Ying grabbed another beer, downing it without changing expression. Spurred by her show of boldness, the other two started to toast as well.
After a few bottles, the improvised drinking table turned quite lively.
Li Feng turned his head slightly and whispered in Zhou Zhishan’s ear: "What did you say to them?"
Zhou Zhishan chuckled softly, whispering back into Li Feng’s ear: "Didn’t say much. Just the truth, that you’re the sugar daddy. If they want to act, they’d better cozy up to you."
"Relax, they know what they’re doing. I didn’t force them."
Li Feng said no more. It was all understood without words, each taking what they needed. With Han Ying and the others, the drinking wasn’t monotonous, but rather lively.
Amid the excitement, a luxury car appeared on the street, immediately catching people’s eyes.
The car door opened, and a tall, handsome guy stepped out, his face covered with a mask and sunglasses, well-disguised.
He exited the car, glanced around the street stalls, and headed straight toward the food stall.
"Junior Zhou, so here you are. I was looking all over for you."
He walked directly towards Zhou Zhishan.
Zhou Zhishan raised her eyes to the person beside her, and despite his hidden face, she recognized him.
"Senior Xia, do you need something?"
"Senior Xia."
Han Ying and the others stood up, respectfully greeting the man. This Senior Xia was several grades above them. He had spent only a year at their school before leaving for Korea to become a trainee, later debuting in a group.
Two years ago, he returned as a solo artist and is now a popular young star with a massive fanbase. This school anniversary, it was said they went to great efforts to invite him to perform a song.
In front of them, these girls who haven’t graduated and have no star path naturally look up to him.
Though this Senior Xia seemed smitten with Senior Zhou.
Jealousy.
"Mm!"
Xia Peng glanced at the girls, who were pretty, but compared to Zhou Zhishan, they fell short.
"Junior Zhou, you’re now the leading actress in a movie, officially debuting. Although few people know you yet, you should mind your image."
"Places like street stalls don’t suit your taste."
"Moreover, you’re here drinking with a random bunch. What if the paparazzi catch you? It doesn’t matter for them, but not you."
Zhou Zhishan listened to Xia Peng’s lecture, feeling displeased. Who was he calling random?
"Senior Xia..."
She was about to retort when Xia Peng interrupted: "You probably lack experience in this. Trust me, you’re going with me. I’ve reserved a spot at the Farrow Restaurant, the finest in Huacheng, really hard to book."
Xia Peng reached for Zhou Zhishan’s arm, but she pulled away.
"Senior Xia, it’s my choice where I eat. Can’t I enjoy street stall food?"
Xia Peng’s face changed slightly under his mask; Zhou Zhishan’s public rejection embarrassed him.
"Zhou Zhishan, are you turning me down?"
"Yes!"
Looking at Xia Peng, Zhou Zhishan couldn’t believe his persistence. She had recently taken a movie role, with Xia Peng as the male lead.
At the film set, he persistently pestered her, clearly trying to woo her. If it were another girl, seeing Xia Peng, she’d probably rush into his arms.
But Zhou Zhishan knew how she got her current position, so she politely declined. Yet Xia Peng kept pestering, even chasing her to Huacheng.
"Moreover, I’m clearly rejecting you. Besides filming, I want nothing to do with you. Is that answer satisfying?"
Zhou Zhishan’s blatant refusal left Xia Peng unhappy. He’s Xia Peng, never a girl he couldn’t get.
"Zhou Zhishan, do you realize what you’re saying? I’m Xia Peng!"
"Rejecting me like this, disrespectful. Believe it or not, I can have you removed from the project with a word."
In front of Han Ying and others, Xia Peng felt disgraced, especially with his status. Zhou Zhishan’s blunt rejection felt like an affront.
"Xia Peng, you think you’re so great?"
Li Feng spoke calmly.
Hearing Li Feng, Xia Peng glanced over: "I’m talking to Zhou Zhishan, who the hell are you to interrupt?"
"Don’t you know who Xia Peng is?" Xia Peng’s tone was arrogant. As a celebrity with millions of fans, he had every right to be.
And who’s this guy sitting in a food stall, drinking, to challenge him?
"Don’t you know him? He’s Xia Peng,"
Han Ying told Li Feng.
At Xia Peng’s level, even a billionaire might not match his wealth.
