Chapter 001: I Became a Koi Fish

He scrolled through the trending topics on Weibo and stumbled upon a wish post titled "King of Koi." When he saw the koi in the picture, its eyes seemed to be moving. Upon closer inspection, they weren't moving, but as soon as he relaxed, they started moving again. Ji Ming ended up staring at that picture for an entire afternoon. When he could no longer bear such a ridiculous version of himself and decided to close Weibo, the koi's eyes began to spin rapidly, and to his surprise, it jumped out of the computer and landed on his wrist, transforming into a tattoo

Oh my goodness

Making wishes, fulfilling promises, dreams come true

He sat there until Tan Ziyang returned to the dormitory, still unable to recover.

Zhou Chong's lines? Master level? Ji Ming let out a cry; this character, the only innocent and tragic figure in "Thunderstorm," although only 17 years old, is not easy to portray. Although Ji Ming did not know what the standard for master level was, the term "master" clearly seemed difficult to achieve. He thought for a moment and suddenly had a brilliant idea: "King of Koi, I wish to immediately reach the master level for Zhou Chong's lines."

Has someone put a curse on him

Tan Ziyang returned with a mournful expression and drooping eyes

Of course, precisely because it is a classic, everyone reads it, the requirements for Tan Ziyang's proficiency in dialogue are even higher. Given his level and condition, it is naturally a stark contrast.

Tan Ziyang wished not to be selected, and was deemed successful in his wish by the Koi fish, but the outcome was that only he and Ji Ming were not selected—yet, his "dream came true." Of course, not being selected was also his wish. Ji Ming has begun to understand a bit about how this Koi fish operates.

Ji Ming was completely frozen— the koi fish spoke!

He looked at the oblivious Tan Ziyang and the unchanged koi tattoo, yet he had no doubts— the koi spoke, without a doubt it spoke

"May heaven bless me, do not choose me, do not choose me." Tan Ziyang crossed his hands and placed them on his chest, murmuring to himself

She smiled gently and said, "Tan Ziyang, come up."

Ji Ming felt a bit confused—didn't the wish come true?

... ...

It is possible, wishing your idol eternal longevity and widespread fame throughout China. Teacher Chen coldly dropped this remark, finally letting them off the hook and starting to call on the girls.

Just now

... ... on the boundless sea ... ...

He was almost scared to death.

Wish granted

Ji Ming did not dare to move

After the wish is fulfilled, there will still be a task of gratitude.

Three people, six blazing gazes, almost piercing through him—how astonishing life is

What he received was just like what Tan Ziyang had, very limited. Such emotionally rich and naïve romantic words were simply beyond their capacity to handle at that moment. His reading was slightly better than Tan Ziyang's, but still limited

Oh, there is a light sailboat, as delicate as a seagull, sailing in the strong sea breeze. The air over the sea carries a hint of fishiness and saltiness. The white sail is fully unfurled, resembling an eagle's wings gliding diagonally over the surface of the sea, flying, flying towards the horizon. At that moment, only two or three wispy white clouds floated faintly on the horizon. We sat at the bow of the boat, gazing ahead, and ahead was our world.

Sometimes I forget the present, forget home, forget you, forget my mother, and even forget myself. I think I am like a winter morning, with a very bright sky

Along with his three roommates, they also spent a sleepless night, all becoming national treasures

What happened? Regretting it? This is not a tattoo sleeve, so don't be nervous. We can be considered as part of the entertainment industry, we have a bit of presence.

For the third wish of Aladdin's lamp - I wish for three more wishes

Zhou Xin, you come here

Tan Ziyang rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small koi tattoo on his wrist: "Tattooing it here, I'm not afraid of cutting the main artery. This design—doesn't it look like the one from the Koi King on Weibo?"

sorcery

Wang Wei is also from the Ji Ming dormitory

If you keep picking at it, what will happen? Who would still dare to let you pick at it

Last night, Ji Ming couldn't sleep at all, tossing and turning, his mind filled with the "Baidu aftereffects"—once the body feels unwell, a search leads to either cancer or a tumor, with little time left. Ji Ming has already made up his mind; he wants to leave his meager savings to his mother, and there is one job left unfinished that he needs to note down. The farewell ceremony doesn't need to be in red, after all, he has never been in the limelight.

As soon as Teacher Chen from the dialogue class saw the four of them looking disheveled, he knew they hadn't slept well last night and had quite a bit of nerve

Tan Ziyang inhaled sharply, the Murphy's Law told him that the more he didn't want something, the more likely it would happen—but it wasn't that extreme; he was the first to be called out. He shot Ji Ming a fierce glare, stating that without ten meals at Haidilao, he would cut ties with him.

This is a monologue spoken by Zhou Chong to Si Feng, dreamlike and ethereal

Central Academy of Drama, dialogue class

Intermittently, recklessly

He received a passage from Zhou Ping, and his recitation was below standard, causing Teacher Chen's expression to darken further

Today, we are to read "Thunderstorm," a leading play in the realm of drama. It is not just their dazed appearance; even in an excellent state, they might not be able to deliver it well.

Barely escaped a calamity

"I spit on you, you repressed thing. At least three meals, otherwise I'll kill you." Tan Ziyang said fiercely

And Ji Ming once again "heard" the voice of the koi: "Dreams come true! This time's wish fulfillment task: to elevate Zhou Chong's performance in 'Thunderstorm' to master level.

There is no need to say sorry to me, I have seen too many generations. It is not to say that putting in effort in class will definitely lead to success, but if you take a look, those who manage to regain popularity in their thirties or forties are all actors with a solid professional foundation. Whether one becomes successful or not depends on fate, but at this moment, learning a bit more will lower the demands of fate. You are in your second year, and your hearts are gradually stirring. I know you may not be able to take in too much of what I say, but I still want to express it. Alright, Wang Wei, you come out. Tan Ziyang, go back and think carefully.

It is.

Tan Ziyang received a passage from Zhou Chong, which is quite classic

"A meal? Why don't you just kill yourself then?"

"A meal at Haidilao." He promised in a low voice, his desire to survive very strong

I am sorry

Those who know say you are reading Zhou Chong, while those who do not think it is Lin Chong. What’s going on? Are you about to go to Liangshan and feeling a bit out of sorts? Teacher Chen is quite sharp, and Tan Ziyang has turned as red as a lobster, yet he was not spared either: "Knowing that there is a major class on lines today, are you still unaware of the need to conserve your energy? If you are in this state, you might as well not come to class; hurry up and find an opportunity to become an idol, no need for a foundation in lines, just knowing how to say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 will suffice."

There was not a single sound or movement.

... ... Alright, wait for me to finish that Uniqlo order

Ji Ming, this culprit, has unexpectedly managed to escape a calamity.

"Damn it, Ji Ming, if I get called out later, I will definitely make you pay for it," Tan Ziyang yawned and shot Ji Ming a fierce glare

If others make a wish, and it aligns with their desires, it will manifest in them

Hey? Ji Ming'er, when did you get a koi tattoo on your body?

Ji Ming nodded in confusion

curse

Have you ever seen a koi that can grant wishes for itself

I do not want to die, as I have not yet become famous

Tan Ziyang lay sprawled on the floor

Until the bell rang, Teacher Chen indiscriminately cast a piercing gaze at the entire class of students: "Go home and think it over, we will continue the surprise quiz in the next class"

Tan Ziyang inquired about the koi fish, which left him with no last shred of fantasy—he truly had a koi tattoo on his hand, visible to everyone.
