Chapter 408: Chapter 409: The Androgynous Pretty Boy

The female demon king huffed, "Apologize? I will never apologize to him, not in this lifetime!"

Zhong Xianxian sighed softly, "Siblings shouldn’t hold grudges overnight, so petty."

The female demon king put on her school uniform jacket, curled her hand into a fist, wrapping the numbers on her palm inside, and awkwardly said, "He doesn’t trust me."

Zhong Xianxian said mercilessly, "That’s because you have too much of a past!"

The female demon king’s expression stiffened, and she still walked out awkwardly, scaring He Jinxia as she passed by, "Don’t you dare tell anyone about this!"

He Jinxia: "..."

Zhong Xianxian came over with a smile and reached out her hand, at which point He Jinxia noticed a big, red pimple on Zhong Xianxian’s forehead, "Hello, my deskmate, I am Zhong Xianxian."

He Jinxia tugged at the corner of her mouth, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh, and shook her hand.

Zhong Xianxian patted her shoulder with her other hand and said, "You’re good, loyal. From now on, just hang out with me. I’ve got your back!"

He Jinxia: "..." Could she refuse?

In the following seven days of school life, He Jinxia thought things would be very interesting.

As it turned out, they were indeed very interesting.

Following the female demon king and Zhong Xianxian, He Jinxia got to see all the underhand dealings of the school.

Boys fighting, bad students extorting pocket money, girls quarreling and slapping each other... She saw it all; there was nothing she couldn’t imagine happening.

On the other hand, He Jinxia also gained a profound understanding of the so-called good and bad students.

The good students in the eyes of the teachers weren’t necessarily of good conduct, and likewise, the bad students in the teachers’ eyes weren’t necessarily of bad conduct.

Like the female demon king she was following, who seemed to do nothing but evil, but was actually helping the weak. It was just that she was too fierce, and while helping, she could still end up making the victim cry, making it seem as if she was bullying them.

He Jinxia saw everything, saw the female demon king’s grievances, and also saw others apologizing to her when they realized their misunderstanding.

But even with apologies, the rumors continued to spread wildly, and the female demon king remained the terrifying figure she was.

Seven days later, He Jinxia left the school quietly, hand-writing a letter to those she got along well with, wishing them a smooth journey to grow up and get through the most perplexing stage of youth.

She was like a breeze passing through, causing ripples in the hearts of the students in class Z of that year, then completely disappeared without a trace.

Even the teachers who came with her couldn’t get detailed information about Xia Jinhe. When students asked about her, even the teachers didn’t know what had happened to her, let alone the students.

"Scene one, Act one, Action!"

With the set fully prepared, and the script supervisor’s command, "High Energy Classroom" officially began filming!

He Jinxia rode in on a little scooter, wearing a helmet for her first official appearance, and the scooter’s rear trunk was loaded with five neat rows of fresh milk.

Yes, He Jinxia played a character named Deng Meili in the script, who was born into an impoverished family. Starting at the age of ten, she began helping her family by setting up street stalls, selling vegetables, delivering newspapers, and milk—truly a fighter in a poor family.

The year she finished high school, Deng Meili was eighteen. Her parents died in a car accident because they ran a red light, leaving her nothing but a dilapidated house and a several-thousand-yuan compensation.

Even though she was admitted to a prestigious national university that year, Deng Meili weighed her options and ultimately decided not to attend.

Although she lived in a poor urban family, Deng Meili had a high IQ. She displayed her intelligence and sensibility at a young age, and at twelve, after getting a computer, she began delving into computer technology, officially becoming a hacker by fourteen.

Being a hacker earned her quite a bit of money, enough to live comfortably without any relatives. She wasn’t interested in the various interpersonal relationships at university, nor did she think about changing her profession. After all, she had a house, and she was content to be a happy, house-bound slacker~

Now, Deng Meili was twenty years old. If nothing unexpected occurred, she would spend her life toggling between odd jobs and the internet. However, real life often turns out stranger than fiction, with many geniuses having a twisted and amazing origin story—Deng Meili was no exception.

That year, the lawyer of her biological grandfather came to her. It turned out that before he passed away, he had made a will. If she wanted to inherit the family fortune worth hundreds of millions, she had to follow the instructions in his will.

We’ll talk about all that later. For now, Deng Meili was still that audacious, house-bound slacker, ever involved in doing odd jobs and hanging out in the urban streets.

"Okay, cut!"

He Jinxia rode the scooty scooter leisurely forward, her appearance concealed by the helmet, so there was no need for expressions, which made this scene a breeze for her.

There were many shots of riding the scooter on the road. After completing that scene and removing the fresh milk from the back seat of the scooter, He Jinxia made another round, and it was a perfect take all over again.

Then she removed the helmet she had been wearing on her head. The specially cut short hair by the crew’s stylist looked disheveled and fluffy under the sunlight, with the soft hair strands gently touching the cheeks, resembling a gentle beautiful youth gazing at you.

That’s right, a beautiful youth.

Because Deng Meili’s outfit was very androgynous and she had a flat chest, at first glance, she indeed looked like a delicate beautiful youth.

"Cut! Very good, let’s continue!" the director called out, and it was another perfect take.

The scenes were simple, and He Jinxia didn’t find it surprising to get it in one take; after all, these shots didn’t require complex expression.

During a restroom break in the lounge, she took the opportunity to rub her tightly bound chest, feeling a bit suffocated. It couldn’t be helped; the character Deng Meili in the script was supposed to be a tomboy, wasn’t she?

She would just have to put up with her own large ’buns’ for now.

On the other side, assistants were bustling about with tea and errands among the crew. All morning, they heard only the clapper and the director’s shout of "perfect take," which gave them a rudimentary understanding of He Jinxia’s acting skills.

He Jinxia seemed really awesome.

If it were just like that in the morning, it would have been one thing, but in the afternoon, it was the same. Therefore, a rumor that "He Jinxia’s acting is great" began to circulate among the crew.

One staff member couldn’t help but post on Weibo:

[I’m a gopher at the "High Energy Classroom" set. He Jinxia’s acting is simply divine. We shot for a good eight hours today, and she was only asked for reshoots three times by the director!!

What does three times mean? It’s almost a perfect take for every scene! Plus, I asked around, the three reshoots weren’t her fault; they were due to flaws in the scene setup by the crew members!]

On Weibo, the heat around He Jinxia and Deng Zhaoyan’s squabble had died down, but the news that "Deng Zhaoyan and He Jinxia don’t get along" remained etched in many people’s minds.
