Chapter 383: Chapter 360: I’m Keeping an Eye on You Two!
The speaker was a boy sitting by the window in the classroom being used for filming.
The boy was wearing a suit, but still had a student vibe on his face. He was probably a university student coming to act as an extra for “Rival in Love”.
Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan were both wearing the most ordinary loose T-shirts and trousers students commonly wear. When Shanli brought them in, she was too busy for anyone to notice them.
Additionally, since Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan didn’t have time to remove their hats and masks, the boy inside didn’t even realize that they were part of the crew.
After all, the crew of “Rival in Love” had been filming at the school for several days, and there were quite a few university students sneaking out of class to watch the filming.
Director Jin hadn’t publicly announced online about Ji Xizhi joining the crew in the next few days because he was afraid that too many fans of Ji Xizhi might cause chaos, so even the crew members didn’t know much.
Extras sourced from the school were even more in the dark.
Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan were initially watching the crew shooting when Shanli finished, and they were suddenly reprimanded by a male university student.
The two exchanged glances.
Xiao Yuan was the first to explain, “We are not students…”
Before she finished speaking, the boy inside stuck his neck out of the window, hastily shouting,
“The crew may not care if you come to watch or not, but as a kind reminder, if you don’t leave now, Teacher Ma will soon be here! He has caught people here three times already! Run quickly!”
The boy hastily finished saying this without waiting for another response from Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan, then retracted his neck.
The transparent window locked with a click, and it seemed Director Jin was preparing to wrap up.
The crew gathered inside the classroom, and as soon as Director Jin announced the end of the morning’s shoot, the noise inside instantly grew louder.
Though Ji Xizhi hadn’t joined the cast of a TV series before, she more or less understood that this probably marked the end of the filming for the time being.
Although Ji Xizhi had arranged with Director Jin to meet in the afternoon, she arrived around noon and casually observed the morning’s shooting from the hallway.
Having read the entire script for “Rival in Love,” she found no issues with the morning’s shoot.
Now that the shooting was over, Ji Xizhi took the initiative to lead Xiao Yuan into the classroom to say hello to Director Jin.
They didn’t take the male student’s words to heart.
But before Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan could step into the classroom, someone grabbed the back of their clothes with force simultaneously.
Like grabbing a chick.
“Standing around again, see see see, what’s so fascinating about a TV drama? Isn’t my lecture more interesting than their acting?”
A mumbled voice came from behind Ji Xizhi’s head, and she glanced back from the corner of her eye.
She saw the person pulling her from behind.
The person was wearing a blue shirt, holding a book in his mouth, grabbing Ji Xizhi with his left hand and Xiao Yuan with his right, pulling them out from the doorway of “Rival in Love” filming classroom.
Pulled them back into the hallway, then pushed them forward towards the classroom in front of the corridor.
Ji Xizhi didn’t have a chance to react and was pushed several steps forward by the person behind her.
“I don’t want to dock your credits, but if you keep being so bold, I’ll have to learn some tricks from other teachers. Is my class that boring?”
Teacher Ma was talking while pushing Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan toward his classroom, but because he was holding the book in his mouth, his words were muffled.
Ji Xizhi didn’t hear the first few sentences clearly, only catching the last part about whether the class was boring.
She took a glance at the book Teacher Ma was holding in his mouth.
Something about criminal law…
She couldn’t see it clearly but was sure that this was indeed a teacher.
And a teacher of law.
“How could it be boring?” Ji Xizhi chimed in.
Teacher Ma laughed and fumed at Ji Xizhi’s comment, “If it’s not boring, why go to the crew? Do you think I’m not as good-looking as those stars?”
Ji Xizhi replied truthfully, “If we’re talking looks alone, Qiu Hu is indeed a bit better looking.”
Teacher Ma: “…… Shut up!”
Ji Xizhi was silenced by Teacher Ma’s words.
Xiao Yuan finally got a chance to speak. She hadn’t observed as carefully as Ji Xizhi and hadn’t paid attention to the book in Teacher Ma’s mouth. After hearing Teacher Ma, she realized he probably mistook her and Ji Xizhi for university students.
Xiao Yuan turned back to explain, “Teacher, we’re really not students! We’re from the crew…”
Teacher Ma couldn’t be bothered to listen.
“Alright, alright, alright, you’re all from the crew; whether you become big stars or extras after graduation is your business, but for my class, you’re not allowed to miss even one lesson!”
It’s no wonder Teacher Ma reacted this way. Ever since “Rival in Love” started filming at the school, attendance in his class indeed dropped significantly, and he couldn’t catch all the absentees.
There was nothing he could do since his class schedule happened to coincide with the filming location, which was so close. Read complete versıon only at novel✦fire.net
In other departments’ classes, at most only a few would skip, but for his class, almost half of the students were missing.
The students caught relied on the university teachers’ lax record-keeping and spoke nonsense.
Claims like, “I’m a staff member of the crew,” “I’m an extra,” became overused excuses.
Xiao Yuan’s current explanation was no use against Teacher Ma.
Xiao Yuan: “……”
She was speechless at Teacher Ma’s response; how could this even work?
She looked at Ji Xizhi with eyes full of pleading.
Ji Xizhi remained much calmer than her. While she had been pushed by Teacher Ma at first, she started to walk towards the classroom on her own.
Ji Xizhi genuinely planned on attending the class.
The crew had wrapped up for the morning and wouldn’t resume until the afternoon.
The downtime was for rest and meals, and Ji Xizhi chose to attend a class, which wouldn’t delay anything.
And it was a chance to see how “boring” this class really was.
The two were pushed to the classroom door at the end of the corridor by Teacher Ma.
The students in the classroom were noisy one moment, but as soon as they saw Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan being brought in, the entire room went silent.
Teacher Ma walked into the classroom and, seeing quite a few people in the back row, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He removed the book from his mouth, and then pointing at Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan, said,
“Every day, I catch a few sneaking off to watch the crew! Are TV dramas really that captivating?”
“From now on, anyone caught will sit in the front row, okay?”
“The class president, remember to take down their names after class. These two must sit in the front row for every class of mine. I’ve noted you both down, got it!”
