Chapter 132. Chapter 130.
In the sweltering room, the electric fan was spinning slowly, and Chen Li'an was lying on the bed feeling a little hot.

The newly bought house is still being renovated, and it will take two months to move in. Chen Li'an can only nest in his hut now, and he regrets going home to sleep.

It would be nice to find a good friend to live with for a few days, Chen Li'an turned over and thought about which good friend he would find to stay with for a few days tomorrow.

Chen Li'an's phone rang, and when he took it to see that it was an unfamiliar number, he felt a little disappointed, thinking that some good friend asked him to fix the water pipe.

"Hello? Who is it?" Chen Li'an said weakly.

In the phone booth on the Nortel campus, Xu Jinglei immediately said, "Is it Chen Li'an?"

"Well, it's me, who are you?" Chen Li'an asked curiously, not remembering who the voice was.

Xu Jinglei held a small note in her hand, luckily she remembered the number correctly, and said happily, "I'm Xu Jinglei."

Hearing this name, Chen Li'an subconsciously sat up from the bed, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with me, Senior, looking for me so late?"

"I want to hear that you are going to Venice, and I need your help with something." Xu Jinglei said the excuse she had prepared long ago.

Chen Li'an was not surprised that Xu Jinglei would know that she was going to Venice, and Liu Ling couldn't help but say it when she went back, but what could she do for Xu Jinglei by going to Venice by herself.

"What do you need my help for?" Chen Li'an asked curiously, guessing all kinds of possibilities in his heart.

Xu Jinglei paused and said, "It's hard to talk on the phone, can you come out and meet me? Tell you face to face, and thank you by the way."

"Now?" Chen Li'an rolled his eyes in the darkness, as if he smelled the smell of spring.

Xu Jinglei hummed and said, "It's only past eight o'clock, how about going out for a late-night snack?"

"Forget about supper. I'm not hungry just after eating. If it's hard to talk about it on the phone, then tomorrow, I happen to be going to school." Chen Li'an refused without any emotion.

A hint of disappointment flashed through Xu Jinglei's heart, and then she pretended not to care and said, "Okay, what time do you come to school tomorrow?"

"It will be around nine o'clock tomorrow morning. See you at the school gate then." Chen Li'an thought for a while and said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li'an couldn't help scratching his head. Xu Jinglei had got her phone number for several months, why did she suddenly contact her today.

He definitely wasn't looking for his own help. As for the purpose, it's hard to say. Lying on the mat, Chen Li'an felt that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the dark night.

When I come back from Venice, I guess there will be more people staring at me!
After all, the exposure of Chen Li'an in the media is still focused on art, and the entertainment industry is still a little transparent. He has acted in several plays and none of them have exploded.

However, Extreme Cold is very likely to win an award in Venice this time. I have been shortlisted for the main competition unit, and I hope to win the award. If I really win the award, Chen Lian will really become famous in the entertainment industry in the mainland, not Rely on a few boring gossip.

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an got up from the bed, tidied up briefly, and went out.

It has been a year since he was admitted to Nortel, and this is the third time he has come here, and every time he comes, he asks for leave. I am really sorry for the school.

Chen Li'an got off the yellow bread, and within two steps, he saw the young and beautiful Xu Jinglei standing at the school gate wearing a pair of shorts.

Tsk, I misjudged her before, is talented girl Xu so predictable!There's something about this figure, it's completely different from the one I saw last winter.

No wonder men love summer!

Xu Jinglei also saw Chen Li'an at a glance, walked over and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Not too long, only two or three months." Chen Li'an replied with a smile, his attitude was much more enthusiastic than last night.

Xu Jinglei was a little surprised at the enthusiasm in Chen Li'an's tone, and thought to herself that she was wearing the right outfit, and said with some joy: "Two or three months are not long, and the semester is almost over."

"That's right. It's a pity that I haven't been to class after I passed the exam for a year." Chen Li'an said looking at the sign with black letters on a white background at the entrance of Nortel.

Xu Jinglei pulled the broken hair by her ears, and said with a slightly adoring tone: "You are a great artist, and you are different from us. Classes are not that important to you."

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Xu Jinglei, a smile flashed in his eyes, and his perception of this talking senior changed slightly.

Facing Chen Li'an's gaze, Xu Jinglei tapped her toes lightly, her playful short hair also danced, her bright eyes shyly said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Good life!Rewarded!Chen Li'an couldn't help but nodded and said: "I find that my senior is getting more and more beautiful, so I can't help but take a second look."

"Is there?" Xu Jinglei couldn't help lowering her head and brushing her hair, revealing her fair and tender face with a hint of blush on it.

Master!Chen Li'an was immediately amazed at Xu Jinglei's little inadvertent gestures.

This is something he couldn't see from his good sisters. Good sisters all like to play straight balls, so why would they bother with this kind of thought? Even Mr. Zhou's free temper can't play with this feeling.

Chen Li'an suddenly felt that Xu Jinglei was really interesting, no wonder she was able to become one of the Four Great Stars later on, as well as the talented girl Xu.
At this time, Chen Li'an's view of Xu Jinglei really changed, and all the impressions from his previous life were overturned at this moment, as if he had re-acquainted with Xu Jinglei.

Xu Jinglei lowered her head and looked at her toes. Her two straight long legs were dazzling white in the sun, but she felt a little depressed in her heart. Why did Chen Li'an remain silent after she finished speaking.

"Senior sister, I'm not joking, you give me a really different feeling today." Chen Li'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "Let's go in first, and talk as we walk."

Hearing Chen Li'an's voice, Xu Jinglei raised her head, looked at Chen Li'an with a blink of an eye and said, "Okay, are you going to ask for leave today?"

"Yes, Teacher Li is probably going to scold someone again." Chen Li'an sighed, as if he could already see the scene where Teacher Li wanted to kill himself.

Xu Jinglei couldn't help laughing, and reminded pretending to be joking: "I would be unhappy if I were Teacher Li. My students are so capable, but they just don't come to class. Those who don't know think you don't like school. Woolen cloth."

Hearing Xu Jinglei's words, Chen Li'an couldn't help but look sideways, this girl really has something, she is very good at understanding people's hearts.

"Why are you looking at me like that again?" Xu Jinglei didn't avoid Chen Li'an's gaze this time, she looked directly at Chen Li'an with rather spiritual eyes, and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm a little different from what you think? "

Chen Li'an, who was standing under the shade of the tree, nodded slightly and said: "It's different, I should have talked to you more before, but today I found out that you are so spiritual."

"Don't use this kind of tone, okay? I'm talking like a girl in her teens." Xu Jinglei said coquettishly.

Chen Li'an laughed loudly and said, "Being called Mr. Chen every day makes me feel old, don't be surprised."

"It's not wrong to be called Mr. Chen, isn't that how actors are in the entertainment industry? It's not respectful to be called by a name that is inappropriate, and there is no job title. After thinking about it, I have to call him a teacher." Xu Jinglei smiled and said beside Chen Li'an .

"That's right, it's just that sometimes it's too strange to meet someone who is older than me and call me teacher." Chen Li'an replied with a smile, then looked at the teaching building in front of him and turned to Xu Jinglei, "I'll go up and ask for leave first. , are you waiting for me here or?"

Xu Jinglei blinked her eyes playfully and said, "I'll accompany you up there. If Teacher Li gets angry, she won't speak too harshly even if there is a girl around."

Chen Li'an really felt that Xu Jinglei was getting more and more interesting, and for this exquisite mind, it was more than enough to bring her as a secretary or assistant by her side.

The situation after going upstairs is similar to what Xu Jinglei said. Teacher Li was very upset, but Xu Jinglei didn't scold anyone here, but the most important thing is that Chen Li'an is doing really well now, and Teacher Li won't treat her like that. Treat him like a normal student.

It's just that I still couldn't escape the nagging and exhortation: "Be careful when you go to the Venice Film Festival this time. Your movie is an underground movie. If you bump into the team led by the Film Bureau, there will definitely be conflicts."

Chen Li'an understood this truth. The reason why Wang Xiaoshuai was banned was not because his debut film failed the review and went to the film festival without permission and bumped into people from the film bureau.

The most important thing is that the film taken by the Film Bureau did not win the award, but Wang Xiaoshuai won the award, and this situation also happened to another underground director.

You just say whether the leaders above are embarrassed or angry.

Listening to Teacher Li's advice, Chen Li'an said gratefully, "Thank you teacher for reminding me, I will pay attention to it. I am going this time mainly to participate in the Venice Art Biennale. The film festival will only go on the day of the award ceremony. It should be fine."

"As long as you know what's in your mind, you don't have to worry. The higher authorities are still very optimistic about you. It's just a banned movie. It's not a big deal." Teacher Li took a sip of tea, then glanced at Xu Jinglei next to her, He couldn't help but said, "You haven't even attended school, but you know a lot of people, and you haven't seen any of your classmates."

Teacher Li's words made both Chen Li'an and Xu Jinglei a little embarrassed, but neither of them had a temper, and they didn't care about such teasing.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Does Teacher Li have class in the afternoon? I want to take this opportunity to feel it."

"Forget it, there's no need to fool me here. You won't be allowed to take so much leave next semester." Teacher Li pushed the thermos cup in his hand to Chen Li'an and said, "Go and pour me a glass of water, it's considered a respect for the teacher." That's it, you can do your work when it's over."

"Alright." Chen Li'an took the cup, walked to the table where the thermos was placed, poured a glass of water for Mr. Li, and respectfully sent it over.

Teacher Li said with a smile on his face: "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I wish you success in Venice this time."

"We must win glory for the school!"

After coming out of the office, Xu Jinglei looked at Chen Li'an's profile and said, "You and I don't think the same way, you don't have the unruly arrogance of an artist, you are very mature and smooth."

Chen Li'an stretched his waist and said: "People are social animals, why do you make your relationship with this world so bitter and bitter, but I only treat smart people like this."

"Smart people? Which one is smart?" Xu Jinglei asked curiously.

Chen Li'an looked at Xu Jinglei and said, "You are a smart person!"
