Rebirth: Once Again With You

Chapter 372 Meeting A Fellow Enthusiast

On the first day of their school trip, they attended the biggest museum in K city. Li Caiyi was fascinated with various historical things displayed there. One that piqued her interest was a painting made by a famous scholar (which she forgot the name).

It was a painting of an elegant hibiscus flower, but Feng Nian argued that the poem written on the bottom made it lose some of its charms. Because the scholar painted it and made the poem to seduce someone's wife.

After the guide announced a break time, Li Caiyi and her friends went to sit together on an empty bench and took out some snacks.

"In the end, it doesn't seem Dai Zhiqiang will come." Chen Ruolan said dejectedly.

"Why are you the one who is dispirited?"

"I was just worried because he seems to go MIA frequently. In movies, it usually brings conflict to a couple's relationship. Or worse, the boy will cheat on her, and that's when everything ends."

Zhou Ya shot her a fierce look while Feng Nian dragged Chen Ruolan by her hood. "Come with me to the convenience store rather than spouting bullshit here."

"Ah, stop pulling me! I'm choking!"

Zhou Ya was relieved that Feng Nian brought the insensitive one away. She glanced sideways and grimaced at Li Caiyi's gloomy expression.

"Lan Lan is just speaking nonsense like always. Dai Zhiqiang likes you so much, so I believe both of you will be fine."

"Yeah, I believe in him too. But recently, it has become harder to spend time with him."

"Is his job really that busy?"

Li Caiyi nodded. "It's hard, but it pays well, he said."

Rubbing her friend's back, Zhou Ya tried to cheer her up. "How about you texted him once again? Tell him to come to a K tower on the last day of the trip!"

"K tower? Why?"

Zhou Ya's eyes widened in disbelief. "Caiyi, don't tell me you didn't make a plan to meet up at that tower? I thought every couple in school secretly made a plan to do that!"

"Well, I know K tower since it's pretty famous. But why would we go there? Is there something about it?"

Zhou Ya's eyes glimmered with excitement. She cleared up her throat before explaining with a dreamy expression.

"Of course! There is an urban myth surrounding that tower. They said that if you kiss on top of that tower with your lover, on the night of a full moon, your love will be everlasting."

"There is something like that? It's the first time I have ever heard about it," Li Caiyi said thoughtfully. In her mind, she visualized the scene of a bright night full of stars.

She and Dai Zhiqiang stood watching the beautiful night view from there. They would look at each other lovingly while holding hands. He would caress her face, then kiss her lips tenderly.

Her cheeks warmed up at the thought. She really liked that idea!

Not only would it compensate for the lack of time they had together, but it would also be an unforgettable memory for them.

Li Caiyi clasped Zhou Ya's hand tightly. Her expression was dead serious as she said, "I shall follow your advice, my friend. Wish me luck."

Zhou Ya grinned and clasped her hand back. "I shall pray for your triumphant return. Don't forget to give us all the juicy after that."

***

Thanks to her friends, Li Caiyi had fun on the school trip. Li Chunhua would occasionally join them. Although Feng Nian was still suspicious of her, they had a lot of fun together.

It was the first time Li Caiyi had ever laughed so much in a day, and it healed her loneliness for not having Dai Zhiqiang with her.

Time passed when you were having fun, and the first day ended just like that. Everyone returned to the hotel as soon as the activities were completed. According to the schedule, they would have some free time on the second and third day.

Li Caiyi was dejected when the trip started, but now she was looking forward to the next day.

The itinerary for the second day was that they would visit some big company in the city.

Among all the companies they would visit, Chen Ruolan couldn't wait to see Tianyue Entertainment Company. It was one of the biggest entertainment industries in the country, and it housed many talented artists and singers.

It also sponsored one of Chen Ruolan's favorite movies, so she couldn't sit still all day. Li Caiyi remembered she had met with the CEO of Tianyue Entertainment Company in her previous life, and she also liked a few movies made by this company.

Tianyue would become the best company in the entertainment industry after producing one of the best movies of all time. At the current time, although it had considerable power, Tianyue was still one of the many entertainment companies out there.

Everyone was very hyped because they wanted to meet their favorite artists here. But Li Caiyi doubted anyone would spare their time to entertain a bunch of high-schoolers like them.

Sure enough, even towards the end of their activities, they only met several people who worked in the PR department.

"Ah, I want to meet Director Shen so badly, but it doesn't seem like he is here." Chen Ruolan exclaimed in disappointment.

Li Caiyi patted her back encouragingly. "Don't worry. You'll meet him every day when you graduate and work here."

"Can I really do that, though? With my grades, it seems impossible for me." Chen Ruolan sighed. Li Caiyi was about to cheer her up when a figure suddenly bumped into her, making her stumble.

"Ah, are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm okay." Li Caiyi replied hurriedly. She raised her head and found a tall young man with a clean and warm face standing in front of her. Around his neck was a name tag with a big 'Intern' written on it.

"Are you guys a student from the school doing an excursion here today? The others have already gone to the lobby."

Only then did Li Caiyi remember they had no time to chat leisurely like this. Zhou Ya and Feng Nian must be wondering what took them so long in the toilets.

"Thank you for informing us. We will go—"

"Excuse me! Do you happen to know where Director Shen is right now?"

Before Li Caiyi could finish her sentence, Chen Ruolan brushed past her and went forward to ask the intern man in a rather aggressive way. The intern was taken aback because she suddenly jumped in front of him.

"Uhm, Director Shen?"

"Yes! The director of 'The Moon in the Summer Night'! Is he here?"

The intern looked troubled by Chen Ruolan's shameless eagerness. Li Caiyi had no choice but to pull her back by her hoodie and bowed profusely.

"I'm sorry for my friend's rudeness. She is very passionate about movies and wanted to meet Director Shen so much. She doesn't mean anything bad."

"Ah, is it like that? I understand where you are coming from because I'm also a fan of Director Shen's work. 'The Moon in the Summer Night' is really a masterpiece isn't it?" The man replied while looking at Chen Ruolan with interest.

Chen Ruolan's eyes shone like a puppy who had just received her treat.

"Yes! I especially liked it when the heroine stood up and fought bravely for her husband's sake in the war."

"I'm glad to find a fellow fan here. Many people don't like that scene because it's a bit out of the heroine's character, but the story won't be the same without it."

"Big Brother, I understand what you mean!"

Li Caiyi stared at how they went back and forth, praising a movie. The intern seemed like he was an avid fan of movies too, and he clicked so well with Chen Ruolan. Not everyone could keep up with her passion.

"Ah! This isn't time to be chatting. If you are not quick, your friends will leave you behind!" The intern man suddenly exclaimed.

"He is right! Ruolan, it's time for us to go."

Chen Ruolan bit her lips reluctantly. Unwillingness was written all over her face, making the intern man chuckle.

"How about we exchange our contacts? We can talk more about it, then."

The previously downcast Chen Ruolan immediately perked up at the suggestion. "I'd be glad to!"

Li Caiyi, who watched them from the side, couldn't help but be amazed by how fast it was for Chen Ruolan to have a new friend. Subtlely, she studied the intern man more closely.

He didn't have an extraordinary handsomeness, but when he smiled, it felt like a spring wind blew past them. He was the type that made people feel comfortable by talking to him.

'Hmm, but his face seemed familiar. Where did I ever see him before?'

"Caiyi, what are you doing? Let's go!"

Li Caiyi quickly bade the man goodbye before running after Chen Ruolan.
