Chapter 405: Chapter 380: Fantasy Becomes Reality

Director Jin couldn’t quite make out what was being shouted outside. She only saw on the monitor that for some reason, the students below suddenly stood up and cheered, each and every one of them as if injected with adrenaline, screams echoing continuously.

The emotional atmosphere she always wanted but couldn’t achieve mysteriously appeared out of nowhere.

Director Jin didn’t have time to think much and grabbed the walkie-talkie, saying:

“Quick! Camera 3, 7, 14, get ready, capture it fast!”

The crew, who had worked with Director Jin for a long time, immediately responded with an instinctive reflex the moment they heard her call.

Camera move, shoot!!!

The last shot was perfectly completed.

At the moment when the audience stood up and cheered, the male lead sat among the crowd, smiling as he looked at the female lead on stage, a smile slowly spreading on his face.

This time, not only did the students below cooperate perfectly, but even Qiu Hu’s subtle facial expressions were handled quite appropriately.

Director Jin was increasingly satisfied, praising the scene for a while before suddenly remembering to ask:

“By the way, what happened to the students just now? Why were they suddenly so excited, did Shen Yeyi give any signal?”

There were instructions during the shoot for Shen Yeyi to give the students a signal to stir up some scene emotion, and she tried.

However, Shen Yeyi was a newcomer with no fan base, and she wasn’t the type to leave a stunning impression, so the effect was minimal.

Only this time, the effect was surprisingly good.

Director Jin started to wonder what Shen Yeyi had done.

The assistant director behind her meekly spoke up: “Director, it seems it wasn’t Mr. Shen, it was…”

“Teacher Ji!!!”

–

Before Director Jin’s filming, Ji Xizhi drank some water and went backstage to find the girl working part-time.

Ji Xizhi originally thought to return the mascot costume to her and end the part-time job.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the back of the curtain, she heard the girl arguing with the person in charge.

“She bailed, but that’s her problem, not mine. I worked seriously! Moreover, I found someone to do it with me!”

“Now that the graduation ceremony is over, we two completed the work. If you pay us for one person, I surely won’t agree!”

The girl argued reasonably, her face flushed.

The male person in charge seemed a bit impatient, “I told you, part-time jobs require prior registration. If you didn’t register, how can I process your payment? I can’t follow the procedure to report it. Oh forget it, stop arguing, I can at most pay for one and a half persons…”

The girl still disagreed: “No way!”

The person in charge was getting increasingly annoyed, “Then take your pay and leave!”

As they bickered, both sides started to get heated.

It so happened that the person in charge was tidying up the props from the previous performance backstage, and during the conversation, he picked up several long benches with his hand.

At the moment when he was about to turn and scold the girl, the long bench he swung with his arm struck the middle of her calf.

Then, the girl tilted and uncontrollably lunged towards the large curtain behind her.

Seeing that she was about to fall from backstage to the front of the stage.

The person in charge was so scared that his eyes were fixed.

The benches in his arms were dropped as he reached out to pull her.

But before he could reach her.

A strong mascot arm darted out and snatched her away.

Ji Xizhi, having witnessed the conversation between the girl and the person in charge, did not intervene immediately and waited quietly on the side.

However, upon seeing the girl get knocked over, her actions were faster than her thoughts, and she rushed forward with a big stride.

Then came an unexpected scene.

Under the spotlight from above the curtain, Ji Xizhi, dressed in a mascot suit, grasped the girl’s arm with one hand and hugged her waist with the other, looking intimate and quite suggestive. Meanwhile, beside them stood a guy.

The guy’s hand, which was extended towards the girl, and his shocked expression hadn’t been withdrawn.

In comparison, perhaps it was due to their different positions, Ji Xizhi and the girl’s faces were perfectly lit, while the guy’s lighting only reached his arm, and half his body was still covered by the curtain, looking lonely and forlorn.

All the students below, as well as Shen Yeyi standing on the stage, were dumbfounded by the sight.

But they were only stunned for a second, then they all stood up, cheering thunderously.

After the cheer came various exclamations.

“Ahhhh, fairytale hero saving the damsel ahhhh… I’m losing it! I wish I could switch places with the girl!”

“This couple is being fed to me live so I can ship them! How can Ji Xizhi pair so well with anyone? Can the next pair be with me, sister hold me hold me hold me…”

“Ji… Ji Xizhi! Is this a hidden Easter egg by the production team? I suddenly feel like waiting for this moment was worth it!”

“Why is everyone shipping Ji Xizhi and the girl? Doesn’t anyone care about the junior next door? He also reached out his hand! It’s truly distressing!”

“Which guy, where’s the guy? I seemed to only see Ji Xizhi, why is she wearing our school’s mascot costume?!”

“Ohhh, your eyes are sharp, wait a minute!!! Mascot??? Is Zhi Zhi actually beneath the costume?!”

“Oh! My! Gosh!”

The screams almost blew the roof off the hall.

The previously lackluster graduates suddenly found their blood rushing to their heads, their eyes turning red.

Not for shipping the scene’s couple, but because ————

Ji Xizhi was actually the school’s mascot who took photos with them all night!

This news was far more shocking than any hero saving the damsel or couple shipping.

Previously, when the school mascot was posing for photos with everyone, some people wondered if Ji Xizhi was underneath the costume.

But, the suspicion didn’t last long before being dismissed.

Because later, everyone saw the mascot hugging and carrying everyone around, tirelessly for more than two hours.

Even after “Rival in Love” officially started filming, and the cast and crew all got busy, the mascot was still taking pictures, not leaving.

Everyone assumed that it couldn’t be Ji Xizhi under the mascot costume.

Yet just when everyone dismissed it, Ji Xizhi suddenly emerged from under the stage curtain.

The ridiculous fantasy turned into reality!

All the graduates had nothing left in their minds but to frantically shout. Updates are released by NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Ji Xizhi herself didn’t expect to be exposed in this form. She waved to the audience, then quickly pulled the girl back behind the curtain, considerately tugged the stage curtain back in place to ensure no one else could see backstage, and with the girl’s help, took off the mascot costume.

Once off, she handed it back, didn’t say much, and turned to rush back to Director Jin’s side.

The crew was still filming, and she didn’t know if the commotion she caused would interfere with the filming.

The responsible guy, who had been ignored the whole time, stared blankly at Ji Xizhi taking off the mascot costume. He said, “The other part-time worker… was Ji Xizhi?!”

Even after helping Ji Xizhi zip up, the girl’s limbs were still numb. When she heard the responsible guy’s words, she was equally dumbfounded, but her eyes held hearts in them: “Yes, yes, yes, that was practically a princess carry just now. I could die happy now!!!
