“Hazel, you should have introduced such a good place to me earlier. There are so many beauties!”
Dave walked over and kept looking around, and his eyes lit up. It was said that the film academy boasted beauties. This time, Dave finally saw with his eyes. The girls had model figures and were hot. Just a moment ago, someone even talked to him.
“That was because you drove a luxury car.”
Hazel hit the nail on the head. The entertainment industry was relatively complicated, and Dave, with such a naïve thought, was not suitable to find a girlfriend in the industry.
“My mother said that she wanted me to marry an obedient and virtuous girl.”
Dave nodded in agreement. His appearance was not good enough to let the beauties keep his phone number.
“Dave, it’s good that you’re here. Help us take a few photos.”
Hazel glanced at Baron. Seeing that he didn’t object to her request, she excitedly asked Dave for help.
Baron didn’t like to take photos, but Hazel wanted to carry a few with her. This way, if she confronted any difficulties in the future, she would look at the photos to cheer herself up.
In addition, Baron once said that he wanted to leave something for memorizing. When they became old and had a bad memory, they could look at the photos and recall the past.
“The pond over there is good. Let’s go there.”
Hazel pulled Baron and her cheeks flushed as she ran over excitedly.
“The director asked me to go for an interview, which means that he has taken a fancy to me. Why do you hinder my future?”
Beside the pond, a tall boy shouted at his girlfriend, “Are you afraid that I will break up with you after I become famous?”
“We are just freshmen. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
The girl seemed to be wronged. She grabbed the boy’s arm and kept explaining, “That director is a homosexual, and it is well known in the entertainment industry. He has a bad reputation, and no one knows what his intention is.”
“Such things are normal in the entertainment industry. It is the price that I have to pay for my role. It’s very fair.”
Every student in the film academy had a dream of becoming famous. The boy’s eyes were filled with a trace of fanaticism as he vigorously shook his girlfriend’s hand off.
“Even if you sell your body?”
The girl no longer explained. Her expression was indifferent, and the way she looked at the boy was strange. They had been together since junior high school, and they both had feelings for each other. They persisted for a few years until they entered the film academy together. But at that moment, she felt as if it was the first day she met him.
“I’m willing. Aren’t you the same? I don’t believe you won’t fight for the opportunity.”
The boy was confident and his tone was full of sarcasm.
“Not everyone is as dirty as you!”
The boy’s words once again angered the girl.
Hazel was emotional after looking at the scene. Even though the entertainment industry was a vanity fair, in the past, many artists truly loved acting and worked hard for their entire lives.
She liked acting, so she gave up on the prestigious universities and chose the film academy.
As a freshman, the boy wanted to rely on the hidden rules to get a chance, and he did not have any professional knowledge. Hazel believed that he would not go far in the future. After all, the chance by selling his body was only temporary.
Baron was deep in thought. He was clear about the hidden rules of the entertainment industry, so he had never had any good feelings for celebrities. It was Hazel who changed his opinion.
“The Past of the Great Qing Dynasty” was about to start filming soon. There was a kissing scene in the film for the male lead and female lead. No matter what, the male lead would touch Hazel’s lips. Thus, Baron had to think about how to properly solve this problem. It seemed that he had to find a substitute who was similar to the male lead.
On the small bridge by the pond, the boy pointed at his girlfriend with his hand. “You… You actually said that I am dirty! I work so hard. If I become famous, I will earn a lot of money. At that time, you don’t even need to go to the mall if you want to buy any branded bags or jewelry!”
“So, in your eyes, I am such a person.”
The girl was finally disappointed. She thought that she could find someone to share the joys and sorrows with her and make progress together. But it turned out that she was too naïve. “Let’s break up!”
“You want to break up? If you break up with me, I’ll jump down from here!”
The boy seemed to be out of control. He never understood why his girlfriend wanted to obstruct him when he had the chance to become famous. Was it shameful to sell his body? Who would only stay with one person forever?
As long as he could achieve his goal, methods were secondary, and the results were the top priority.
“If you want to jump, then do as you wish.”
The girl turned around and was about to walk down the bridge.
The boy thought, ‘If I don’t jump, won’t I appear to be too timid?’ After that, he jumped into the pond directly.
“Help! I don’t know how to swim!”
“What should we do?”
The girl began to panic. She asked for help from the surrounding people. She immediately caught sight of Hazel and Baron.
“I beg you! Please save my boyfriend!”
Seeing that her boyfriend was struggling in the pond and was about to sink soon, the girl cried and knelt in front of Hazel.
Neither Baron nor Hazel spoke. Looking at the farce in front of them, they suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. The boy was indeed too young.
“I don’t know how to swim. Please save him!”
The girl cried, and her eyes turned red. She was intimidated by Baron’s aura and only dared to go forward and hug Hazel’s thigh.
“Are you so sure that I know how to swim?”
There was no right and wrong in the relationship, and the boy’s poor worldview had nothing to do with others. Hazel was no longer the hot-blooded young girl she used to be. She shouldn’t get involved in a quarrel between a young couple.
“Let go of her.”
Seeing Hazel frown, Baron narrowed his eyes, and his aura immediately turned cold. He glanced at the girl with his cold eyes and emphasized once again, “Let go of her. Don’t let me repeat it for the third time.”
The surrounding people were attracted by the shouts of the boy. When they saw this scene, they were stunned. They thought, ‘What’s going on? That woman seems to be Hazel, who has been notorious recently. The girl is crying so miserably. Is Hazel the home wrecker? What is the boy doing in the pond?’
“She is Hazel!”
Someone shouted, and it immediately attracted the crowd.
“The water in the pond is only at his waist. It seems that your boyfriend is very good at acting.”
Hazel concluded and pulled Baron out of the crowd.
Ten minutes after the car started, Anna called Hazel. The scene just now was posted online by someone, and Hazel was immediately labeled as a third wheel.
“Never mind. Are the rumors about me not enough?”
Hazel was not interested in what others said at all. She regretted that she did not spend much time alone with Baron and that they only took two photos.
“What do you want to eat tonight? Let’s make up for your regret.”
Baron held Hazel’s hand tightly. In a few days, he would be busy again. He might not be able to see her for a few days, so he wanted to spend as much time as possible with her.
“Regret?”
Hazel was a little confused and did not know what Baron exactly meant.
“The sweet and sour ribs made by a retired old chef in your school canteen.”
When Baron heard her words before, he sent a message to his assistant, who found the old chef’s address as soon as possible.
“Great!”
Hazel smiled, and her eyes were like crescent moons. The unhappiness just now instantly disappeared.
She wanted to eat the sweet and sour ribs made by the old chef, but what she enjoyed the most was the feeling of being pampered by Baron.
“Little foodie. Since we have invited that old chef, what else do you want to eat? Hurry up and say it.”
Baron looked down at his watch. They were rushing back to the manor, and an hour of drive was needed.
“Fried eggplant, sauteed potatoes with green pepper, and…”
Hazel hadn’t eaten those dishes for a long time. The sweet and sour ribs left the deepest impression on her, but she believed that the old chef was good at making those local dishes.
“Mr. Floyd, can I come with you to eat?”
Dave was full of hope. He had worked hard to be the follower of Hazel and Baron.
“I’ll bring you one.”
Baron was generous and willing to satisfy his subordinates’ small requirements.
“And double-cooked pork slices! First, fry the pork slices in the oil until they become golden. Then put it in another pot, add a spoonful of tomato sauce, and stir-fry it. It’s crispy outside but tender inside. Its sweet and sour taste was so good!”
When Hazel said this, she was hungry. She rubbed her belly and waited for the sumptuous dinner.
