Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 205 - 186: Premature Outrage
Chapter 205: Chapter 186: Premature Outrage
Huang Yan Yan never expected to receive such a genuine blessing from Ji Xizhi.
But what she never expected even more was Ji Xizhi’s final words, saying, “I’ll be waiting for you at Qing University!”
She hadn’t planned to apply for Qing University at all???
Huang Yan Yan was in a daze, especially when she saw the sincere and expectant look on Ji Xizhi’s face. Her lips moved but no words came out.
Ji Xizhi: “Are you also taking exams for a law-related major? If you need any help…”
Huang Yan Yan: “Oh, no, really no! Thank you, Senior Ji!!!”
Huang Yan Yan quickly denied it.
She laughed awkwardly, “Thank you for your encouragement, Senior. I will work hard!”
At this moment, she just wanted to rocket out of this airport.
Ji Xizhi’s words of encouragement not only stunned Huang Yan Yan but also left the scholars nearby bewildered.
When they snapped back to reality, the scholars turned their heads in unison, looking at Xiao Yuan in surprise.
Xiao Yuan smiled, spread her hands, and her eyes seemed to say: See, you got upset too soon!
The scholars: …indeed.
The scholars quickly turned their heads and, capitalizing on their loyal fan advantage, began to congratulate enthusiastically.
“We also wish the young lady success in her graduate exams this year, you can do it~”
“Followed the young lady on Weibo, when the results come out next year, we’ll definitely come congratulate you~”
“Young lady, keep it up~ We’re all supporting you!”
The scholars gave their heartfelt blessings.
The surrounding fans of Huang Yan Yan were moved.
Huang Yan Yan’s fans were still recording, and their liking for Ji Xizhi and Ji Xizhi’s fans shot up.
“Wow, your Zhi Zhi is just too lovely, she’s really so gentle and beautiful~”
“Thank you and Zhi Zhi for your blessings, our Yanyan is overjoyed!”
“Secretly saying, I really want to be a dual fan, Ji Xizhi is even more charming in person than on TV, she’s killing me!”
Having just dealt with the blessings from Ji Xizhi, Huang Yan Yan turned her head and heard her fans secretly talking about jumping ships.
Huang Yan Yan: “…” Help me!!!

The “Little Ji Xizhi” incident hadn’t even developed much on Weibo, it had just surfaced when even the major fan clubs of Ji Xizhi were angrily researching the relevant laws about clout-chasing.
The news about Huang Yan Yan applying for graduate school at Qing University had already spread online.
This wasn’t released by Ji Xizhi’s side, but by a big fan of Huang Yan Yan’s via a Weibo video.
In the video, Ji Xizhi enthusiastically encourages Huang Yan Yan, saying she’ll wait for her at Qing University.
Huang Yan Yan responds with a shy smile.
Their attitudes were gentle and friendly, leaving the onlooking passersby somewhat confused.
In the entertainment circle, it’s not like there haven’t been cases of using someone’s fame for clout before, which often led to bitter conflicts between two sides.
This time, however, Huang Yan Yan actually got a direct stamp of approval for the name “Little Ji Xizhi” from Ji Xizhi herself.
“I was ready to scold for clout-chasing before clicking the video, but after watching, I have to say it takes courage! I’m not commenting on anything else, but commendable courage to take the Qing University entrance exam!”
“Ji Xizhi is truly generous, but I still hope she takes more care of herself~”
“I’ve never heard of this Huang Yan Yan before, but I’m following her now, looking forward to next year’s results~”
“For some reason, I feel like Huang Yan Yan’s expression seemed a bit stiff? She looked confused?”
“Being ’Little Ji Xizhi’ is truly no easy job! This story tells us, you can clout-chase anyone in the entertainment circle, just don’t clout-chase Ji Xizhi!”
…
After a round of discussion from both fan groups and onlookers.
#Huang Yan Yan preparing for Qing University’s graduate exams# successfully trended on the hot searches.
This was Huang Yan Yan’s first hot search this year, all driven by pure traffic, not bought.
Unfortunately, Huang Yan Yan herself was not very happy about it; she just felt her hair was falling out.
Not long after returning from the airport, she received a call from her manager.
Her manager gave her a long talk, going over a ton of scripts, and finally implied: Since you’re so brave to aim for Qing University, and now so many are watching you, you better prepare well. The spot for the fixed guest role on that show you talked about last time, the director said to pass for now, maybe join for the second season after your exams next year.
Huang Yan Yan: “…!” It’s over.
Many artists who previously wanted to hold the “Little Ji Xizhi” title quickly abandoned the idea after hearing about Huang Yan Yan’s trending news, along with the director’s rejection of her joining a certain show.
The reason is simple: not everyone has Ji Xizhi’s ability to excel in graduate school while also exploding in variety shows, and not all directors can accept this.
After the Huang Yan Yan incident ended, the topic concerning “Little Ji Xizhi” never surfaced again on the entire internet, and artists trying to clout-chase also made sure to avoid Ji Xizhi from the start.

After the recording of “Escape Room” ended, Ji Xizhi returned to her regular life.
Xiao Yuan had just finished cooking lunch and, after eating with Ji Xizhi, turned around to see Ji Xizhi grab a new set of books to read.
Xiao Yuan thought: Luckily it’s books she brought back, if it were really a ghost, I wouldn’t be sleeping tonight!
Xiao Yuan secretly felt lucky. Seeing Ji Xizhi getting serious, she quickly returned to her room to continue studying.
Ji Xizhi was very interested in this set of books during the Escape Room recording, having been interrupted halfway before, she was left wanting more. Now she can finally read all at once, feeling completely satisfied.
As the sun was setting, Ji Xizhi slowly put down the book, rubbing her tired eyes.
She glanced at the time, changed clothes, and went out for a jog to relax her eyes.
Ji Xizhi casually wore a hat, a request specifically made by Xiao Yuan, and left the house.
The community area isn’t big, but there’s a lot of greenery. After a few laps, Ji Xizhi’s body felt relaxed, and she was planning for a couple more rounds.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind: “Ji Xizhi? Teacher Ji, is that you?”
Ji Xizhi hadn’t turned around yet.
A girl in a white trench coat rushed to stand in front of Ji Xizhi.
“Teacher Ji! It really is you!!”
“So, you live in this neighborhood? You live in the same neighborhood as my mom! That’s shocking! If I had known, we could have come together!”
The girl seemed very excited, speaking halfway before noticing Ji Xizhi’s confused expression.
Ji Xizhi: “Sorry, and you are?”
The girl slapped her thigh, “Oh, I forgot to say, I am a supporting actor from the Escape Room group! Just an NPC!!! We met yesterday!”
As she spoke, the girl hobbled while waving her hand in a few gestures.
“I was the one in bandages; you were the first to pull them off in front of the cafeteria, but during the show, my face was covered in bandages with makeup, so it’s normal for you not to recognize me! It’s enough for me to recognize you!”
Ji Xizhi: “I remember, you had a red mole on the outside of your arm.”
When the girl heard Ji Xizhi say she remembered, she got even more excited, “Ah, you really remember me? Teacher Ji, you’re amazing!”
Perhaps because Ji Xizhi said she remembered, the girl seemed to become even more friendly.
“You don’t know, last night in our supporting actors’ group, we started madly reflecting on whether our makeup was the issue since you weren’t scared!”
“Our group leader stayed up all night changing four sets of makeup and adjusting ten movements, planning to improve and learn~”
“Oh right, Teacher Ji, do you have time? Can I invite you to take a look at them for me!”
