Chapter 103 Oda and Hiroaki's Freshman Enrollment
The storm of trending topics continued on the evening of September 1st, with the hashtag #RaymondLamSuesFengxingStudio# still trending and generating a lot of discussion. His new film, "Fame and Fortune," also benefited from this wave of popularity, and its box office also increased significantly.
As Lin Feng walked out of the company building, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Tian Xiwei, accompanied by a cute emoji: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, my flight to Beijing is at 4 PM tomorrow. Don't forget to pick me up!"
He replied with a smile, "I won't forget, I'll be at the airport on time."
Just after I sent the message, Liu Haochun's message popped up: "Brother Feng, my flight is at 4:20, a little later than Xiaotian's. Thanks for your help."
"No trouble at all, I'll pick up Xiaotian first and wait for you to come along." After replying, Lin Feng placed his phone on the passenger seat, and the car merged into the evening rush hour traffic, heading towards his residence.
Meanwhile, online discussions continued to rage. In the Weibo comment section, netizens were arguing fiercely, with some supporting Raymond Lam's rights protection efforts and others being attacked by haters from Fengxing Studio. Many casual viewers were also drawn by the popularity of "Fame and Fortune" and expressed their intention to go to the cinema to support it.
"Raymond Lam was too bold this time. Fengxing Studio should have been dealt with a long time ago. So many celebrities have been screwed over by them before!"
""
"Just finished watching 'The Rise of Fame,' and it's absolutely amazing! The plot twists and turns so many times. Raymond Lam is not only a great actor, but also a fantastic director. I love it!"
"Stop trying to defend it. The dirt on Fengxing Studio is all confirmed. They're involved in secret filming and blackmail; it's disgusting!"
"Is it possible that Raymond Lam is using this as a publicity stunt? Is he trying to protect his rights while simultaneously riding the wave of popularity to promote his movie?"
"Get lost, upstairs. The reputation of 'Fame and Fortune' speaks for itself. Does it need hype? Raymond Lam's first movie broke 500 million, and his second one is already 800 million. Does he need a little more buzz?"
On platforms such as Douban and Zhihu, there have been more reviews of "The Rise of Fame and Fortune". Many professional film critics have given it high scores, calling it "a surprising work of domestic suspense films", and Raymond Lam's directorial talent has once again been recognized by the public.
Lin Feng returned to his residence, washed up briefly, lay on the bed, and looked through the messages Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun had sent him on his phone, as well as the box office data for "Fame and Fortune".
The next afternoon at the airport exit, Lin Feng, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, saw a girl in a white dress dragging a suitcase out a little after 4 p.m. It was Tian Xiwei.
She spotted Lin Feng immediately, her eyes lighting up instantly. Dropping her suitcase, she ran towards him, opening her arms for a hug: "Brother Feng! Long time no see!"
Lin Feng was taken aback by her hug. "We just saw each other a couple of days ago, what do you mean it's been a long time?"
Tian Xi loosened her grip on him, stuck out her tongue, and said with a grin, "Oh, Brother Feng, everyone says a day apart feels like three autumns, but two days apart feels like two three-year periods! Of course it's been a long time!" As she spoke, she handed the two bags she was carrying to Lin Feng, "Look what I brought you!"
She opened the bag on the left, which contained vacuum-packed cured pork, sausages, and a bag of chili peppers: "These are all specialties from my hometown. The cured pork was made by my mother, as were the sausages. And these dried chili peppers are especially fragrant; they're all your favorite flavors!"
Lin Feng took the bag: "I'll make it for you tonight."
"Yay!" Tian Xi cheered, then remembered something, "Oh right, Brother Feng, Hao Chun will be here soon, let's wait for her together."
Lin Feng nodded, took Tian Xiwei's suitcase, and stood aside to wait. At around 4:20, Liu Haochun came out wearing a light blue shirt and jeans, carrying a backpack and dragging a suitcase.
When Tian Xiwei saw her, she immediately ran over and hugged her tightly: "Haochun! Did you miss me?"
Liu Haochun laughed as she hugged him, gently patting her back: "I missed you, I missed you."
"You're lying to me. We've only been apart for two days, and you already miss me?" Tian Xiwei teased her on purpose.
"I really want to." Liu Haochun nodded seriously, turned his gaze to Lin Feng, and softly called out, "Brother Feng."
"You must be tired from the journey." Lin Feng stepped forward and took her suitcase. "Let's get in the car first and take you back to your apartment."
The three of them walked out of the airport together and got into Raymond Lam's car. The car drove all the way to the apartment where the two lived. Raymond Lam parked the car downstairs and helped the two carry their suitcases upstairs.
Upon opening the apartment door, Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun placed the local specialties they had brought on the living room table. Liu Haochun also took out his own bag: "Brother Feng, these are walnuts from my hometown, as well as black fungus and wild ginseng. My parents asked me to bring them to you. Walnuts are good for the brain, and you use your brain a lot when you're filming and directing, so eat more of them."
Lin Feng looked at the local specialties on the table and said, "Put your things away and tidy up. I'll go out and buy some groceries to cook dinner for you tonight."
"Okay! Brother Feng, you've worked hard!" Tian Xi waved and pulled Liu Haochun to pack their luggage.
Lin Feng went downstairs to a nearby supermarket and bought groceries: garlic sprouts, tomatoes, eggs, and pork—all ingredients for everyday cooking.
Back at the apartment, they started cooking. Soon, three dishes and a soup were ready. The three sat at the table, and Tian Xiwei eagerly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, her eyes lighting up: "Wow, this is so delicious! Brother Feng, your cooking is still so good!"
Liu Haochun also took a bite of the meat: "Mmm, it's delicious."
"Eat more if it's delicious."
During the meal, Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun chatted about the start of school. With her mouth full of food, Tian Xiwei mumbled, "Brother Feng, we've decided that we can register on the 3rd or 4th. We plan to go on the morning of the 4th to have an extra day of fun."
Liu Haochun nodded in agreement: "We already agreed on this in the group chat."
Lin Feng looked at the two of them, who were scheming on their faces, and said with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "You two are so smart."
"What's wrong, Brother Feng?" Tian Xi put down her chopsticks, blinked her eyes, and said coquettishly, "Didn't we want you to take us out for another day tomorrow? After school starts, we'll have military training, and then we won't be able to see you anymore. Don't you miss us?" As she spoke, she nudged Liu Haochun next to her with her elbow, "Right, Haochun?"
Liu Haochun's cheeks flushed slightly, and he nodded gently: "Yes, I want Brother Feng to take us out to play."
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. Where do you want to go?"
"Yay! That's great!" Tian Xi cheered. "We want to go shopping and buy some things for school and sunscreen for military training!"
"No problem, I'll do whatever you say." Lin Feng agreed with a smile.
After finishing their meal and cleaning up, Lin Feng sat for a while longer, chatting with the two about school matters, before getting up to say goodbye: "I'm going back now. You two should get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Goodnight, Feng!
"Take care on the road, Brother Feng."
Lin Feng left the apartment and drove back to his own place. Inside, Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun sat on the sofa, chatting about their upcoming campus life.
"Haochun, do you think our dorm will be very crowded?" Tian Xiwei asked, hugging a pillow with a curious look on her face.
"Probably not, the dorms at Beijing Film Academy are pretty good," Liu Haochun said softly. "It's just that I'm a little scared of military training. I heard we have to stand at attention and be in the sun, and I'm most afraid of getting a tan."
"Me too!" Tian Xiwei immediately chimed in. "I'll buy extra sunscreen and bring it all with me. I absolutely can't get a tan!"
On September 3rd, Lin Feng arrived at the apartment building at eight o'clock in the morning to pick up Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun.
Their first stop was a shopping mall. The two of them, along with Lin Feng, strolled around the cosmetics, stationery, and clothing sections, buying quite a few things.
Tian Xiwei picked out several sunscreens, as well as sunscreen sprays, sun hats, and sun protection sleeves, arming herself up to the teeth. Liu Haochun, on the other hand, picked out some practical stationery and some sun protection items.
After a day of sightseeing, Lin Feng drove the two back to their apartment after dinner. As they got out of the car, Tian Xiwei tugged at Lin Feng's arm and said sweetly, "Brother Feng, tomorrow morning, please take us to register and help us with our luggage!"
Liu Haochun added, "Thank you for your help, Brother Feng."
"Alright, alright, my two little princesses, I'll pick you up on time tomorrow morning and help you with your luggage. Don't worry, you won't oversleep."
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Feng!" Tian Xi smiled happily. "Then we're going upstairs. Goodnight, Brother Feng!"
Goodnight, Feng.
On the morning of September 4th, at 7:30, Lin Feng arrived at the apartment building. He went upstairs and knocked on the apartment door. The two of them were already packed, carrying backpacks and suitcases. There wasn't much luggage, as it was summer, with only some changes of clothes and daily necessities.
"Brother Feng, you're here!" Tian Xiwei saw him and immediately ran over to take the breakfast. "Wow, there's even breakfast! How thoughtful!"
"Eat quickly, we'll go to school after we finish." Lin Feng put the breakfast on the table and helped the two carry their suitcases to the door.
The two quickly finished their breakfast, and Lin Feng, carrying a suitcase in each hand, led them out, got into the car, and drove towards Beijing Film Academy.
A banner reading "Welcome to the Class of 2026" hung at the entrance of the Beijing Film Academy. Lin Feng parked his car in a nearby parking lot, picked up two suitcases, and led Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun into the campus.
As soon as I entered the school gate, I was immediately recognized by many people.
"Hey, isn't that Raymond Lam?"
"It really is Raymond Lam! He must be a third-year directing student, right?"
"My God, I actually met him in person here! He's even more handsome than on TV!"
"Senior, can I take a picture with you?"
Students immediately swarmed around him—upperclassmen, freshmen, and accompanying parents—all holding their phones, wanting to take photos with Lin Feng. Lin Feng stopped and smiled, agreeing, "Okay, everyone, don't rush, one at a time."
He patiently took photos with everyone. Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun stood to the side, watching Lin Feng surrounded by the crowd, their hearts filled with pride. Tian Xiwei whispered to Liu Haochun, "Brother Feng is so popular! No wonder he's called Brother Feng!"
After finally escaping the crowds for group photos, Lin Feng led Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun to the freshman registration area and picked up the freshman registration procedure form. Looking at the process on the form, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Just like two years ago, first pay the fees, then collect the department materials, and then go to the dormitory management center to get the keys."
The three of them followed the procedure, first paying the fees at the payment counter, then collecting their textbooks and related materials from their department; everything went smoothly. Next, they went to the dormitory management center to collect their dormitory keys.
The dormitory management center was crowded, but Lin Feng helped the two of them queue and they quickly received their keys. Tian Xiwei took the keys, glanced at them, and exclaimed with delight, "Haochun, we're in the same dorm! Room 502, Building 2!"
Liu Haochun smiled happily: "That's great, we don't have to separate anymore."
Seeing how happy the two were, Lin Feng smiled too: "Let's go, I'll take you to your dorm and help you move your luggage."
Apartment Building No. 2 was an old-style dormitory building without an elevator. Lin Feng carried a suitcase in each hand and headed towards the fifth floor. Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun followed behind, watching him climb the stairs with two suitcases.
"Brother Feng, how about we help you carry one?" Tian Xiwei said.
"No need, I can manage." Lin Feng smiled and continued climbing. The weather was still a bit hot. After climbing five floors, fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Feng's forehead, and his back was slightly damp.
Finally arriving at the entrance of dormitory 502, Lin Feng put down his suitcase and breathed a sigh of relief. Tian Xiwei immediately ran forward and handed him a glass of iced water: "Brother Feng, drink some water, you've worked hard!"
Liu Haochun also took out a wet wipe, stood on tiptoe, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Brother Feng, wipe your sweat."
"It's nothing, it's just hot, but I'm not actually tired." Lin Feng took the water and drank a sip.
The dormitory door was open, and two girls were cleaning inside. Seeing them enter, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted them with smiles: "Hello, are you also roommates of 502?"
Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun immediately responded: "Hello, I am Tian Xiwei."
"Hello, I am Liu Haochun."
One of the girls, wearing a white T-shirt and with delicate features, brightened up when she saw Lin Feng and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you senior Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Hello, I'm Lin Feng."
