Chapter 0002 Surface Brothers

Ah... if you don't believe me, just look, I truly have nothing left to do!

"Zhang Mai, could you please refrain from being so loud? You startled me!" Qu Bufan said with a frown, clearly displeased.

He walked back into the room from the balcony, tapped lightly behind the other person, and leaned over to peek at the book.

"Zhou Xia, are you okay? How about we finish breakfast first and then go to the infirmary to re-bandage it?" Qu Bufan asked with concern.

Last night, before getting on the bus, Dong Tianming received a call saying that someone would come later, but they did not show up

Qu Bufan noticed that Zhou Xia seemed to have realized it, and seeing that it was already past 7:30, he smiled and said to Zhou Xia

Zhou Xia furrowed her brows

Zhou Xia, I will discuss what happened earlier with you later. You were so considerate to both me and Zhang Mai last night, so rest assured, during your recovery, I will take care of your daily needs; I will cover all your medical expenses and meals! It is time for breakfast now, what would you like to eat? I will go downstairs to buy it for you.

What exactly did Qu Bufan just say about concealing something related to the audition?

Zhang Mai leaned in, wanting to see the wound on Zhou Xia's head

Did this guy just overhear their conversation and intentionally interrupt Qu Bufan

"How could it be fine after fainting for such a long time?" Qu Bufan said in disbelief

Zhou Xia was somewhat taken aback by the strange behavior of her three roommates

He would not engage in such foolish activities

What does it mean? Isn't this a guidebook for patients with 'autism'?

Upon seeing the title of the book, Zhang Mai immediately stepped forward and angrily reproached Dong Tianming.

As Qu Bufan began to speak, a loud voice interrupted him, followed by the sound of the bed creaking.

I also want it, please bring me a portion of eight-treasure porridge and three pork buns, Zhang Mai said eagerly

These three roommates are all aware of the inside story behind the casting of "Ocean Paradise," yet they have kept it a secret from the original owner, which is why they are behaving so strangely

Then there is only one possibility, Zhou Xia could not help but think of something in the original owner's memory.

This is a tall and slender young man with a refined appearance

Zhou Xia reached up again to touch the wound on her head, but misjudged the angle and poked at the scab, involuntarily gasping in pain

The actor selected by Deputy Director Gong Chun during the audition will play one of the main characters, Da Fu, who has autism, in "Ocean Paradise"

Earlier on the balcony, Qu Bufan mentioned that he had concealed the matter of the audition, which is clearly this

Recalling Zhang Maifang's reprimand of Dong Tianming, as well as Qu Bufan's actions of being angry yet unable to voice his discontent

Yesterday, after finishing the exam, we began our summer vacation, and everyone clearly relaxed.

A reply should be received in the next couple of days

"My Heart Sees the World - The Situation of Individuals with Autism"

The day before yesterday, Gong Chun, the casting assistant director of "Ocean Paradise," came to the school to select actors. Several boys from their class who were shortlisted submitted six-inch artistic photos and personal information.

Zhou Xia sighed helplessly, wanting to test the condition of her body, so she patted her firm chest muscles, did a few movements, shook her arms, and stretched her legs, showing them to Qu Bufan and Zhang Mai

Dong Tianming's father is the owner of a certain film and television company in the capital, and is quite well-known in the industry

Truly diligent and eager to learn

Qu Bufen, what is it? Did I just ruin your good plans? If you have any secrets to tell Zhou Xia, you might as well share them with me too

Zhou Xia looked at the other person seriously and noticed that Zhang Mai had secretly winked at Qu Bufan

The two individuals felt somewhat relieved upon witnessing the situation

This is the male dormitory of the 2008 undergraduate class of the Performance Department at the Beijing Film Academy

Immediately, he recalled what Qu Bufan had just mentioned about concealing the audition, and quickly connected it with some information from the original owner's memories

I am fine, thank you," Zhou Xia replied, then turned to Qu Bufan: "You continue discussing the book.

This matter is indeed somewhat too coincidental

Dong Tianming turned around, casting a sidelong glance at Zhang Mai as if he were an idiot, then turned his head away and continued to read the book in his hands

"Truly lacking in awareness, Zhou Xia is a patient. Are you a patient?" Qu Bufan said discontentedly

In the early years, wealth was accumulated by selling domestic film copyrights abroad, profiting from the price difference, and thus amassing initial capital

Hiss ... ...

Zhang Mai smiled slyly.

Zhou Xia's gaze swept over the three individuals, and she felt that it was somewhat unjust considering how desperately the original owner had protected her two roommates last night

Zhou Xia understood that the original owner was not particularly close to the two individuals and did not wish to engage with them excessively at this time

Seeing Dong Tianming completely disregard their conversation, it was as if he were in another world

Suddenly, I thought of something again, which further confirmed my suspicions.

It is like this ... ...

Zhou Xia began to feel suspicious; "autism" is another term for "autistic disorder"

The original host and two other roommates arrived at the high-quality restaurant "Migas," where they encountered several foreigners causing trouble

On weekends, except for Saturdays and Sundays, I usually get up around six in the morning to practice my morning exercises

This secret behind the casting has long been uncovered, yet after living in the same dormitory for a year, not a single person mentioned it to the original owner

Therefore, it is not surprising that Dong Tianming knows several foreigners

It is evident that Dong Tian is already aware of this point and has begun to read relevant books and contemplate the characters.

I am fine, there is no need to treat me as a patient

At this moment, the other two roommates, following Zhou Xia, returned to the room, curiously observing what Dong Tianming was doing

According to the information in the original owner's memory, Dong Tianming is very skilled in socializing and is quite mature due to his family environment

Dong Tianming's action provoked great anger, and it seemed he also wanted to denounce the words of the other party, Qu Bufan, but he swallowed them back down.

Zhou Xia quickly pushed Zhang Mai aside and then caught a glimpse of another roommate of the original owner, Dong Tianming, sitting at the desk near the door

No need, no need, what is this minor injury? As long as it doesn't get infected, it will be fine in a few days

"Hehe, I apologize. How is your injury, Zhou Xia?" Zhang Mai said with a carefree smile.

Zhou Xia suddenly realized and understood what was going on

This is merely a reckless speculation made in a fit of anger by Zhang Mai

Zhou Xia and Qu Bufan, what are you two doing hiding on the balcony so early in the morning? It's not easy to get a holiday, and you won't even let anyone sleep in!

While the three of them were talking, he did not know when he had woken up, and unexpectedly, he was already seriously reading a book with a picture book in hand.

It is the original owner's other roommate, Zhang Mai

Zhou Xia comes from the future and is also an industry insider, so she naturally knows about the film "Ocean Paradise" and the related circumstances.

Dong Tianming! You are truly insidious! Back then, you incited everyone to go play at 'Migas', and in the end, you slipped away before getting in the car, while secretly hiding in the dormitory to study character roles!

Zhou Xia was puzzled as a tall, sturdy young man with thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a resemblance to Sun Honglei had already arrived on the balcony

Certainly, it seems that this is not so simple after all

Zhou Xiaomei glanced out the window, carefully searching her memory, but found nothing suspicious

It seems that the original owner and these few roommates are merely surface brothers

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Qu Bufan glanced at Zhang Mai, unwilling to discuss the matter that had just occurred.

Indeed, we should go take a look later. You did hit your head, and although it didn't require stitches, it is summer now, so you must be careful of infection

Indeed, it is so

Zhou Xia could not help but feel a bit surprised, and curiosity began to arise within her.

To sabotage a roommate for a role that is uncertain whether it can be secured

Zhou Xia's gaze swept over her three roommates once again, especially upon seeing Dong Tianming, who was holding that book and pretending to be calm
