Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 222 - 203: Addicted to Ji Xizhi’s Beauty?
Chapter 222: Chapter 203: Addicted to Ji Xizhi’s Beauty?
The issue of obsessive fans is a recurring one in the entertainment industry.
The news of Ji Xizhi encountering a fan following her car didn’t come as a surprise.
According to reliable eyewitnesses, there was a fan following Ji Xizhi’s car, and Ji Xizhi suddenly changed route heading to the police station, which left the obsessed fan dumbfounded and led them straight to the police!
[This… sounds exactly like something Zhi Zhi would do. So funny, well done!]
[I agree, obsessed fans aren’t true fans! If you want to meet Zhi Zhi, there are legitimate ways: Study, pass an entry exam, submit a study completion plan, and get approval from the management—it’s all step by step!]
[Let me add: I have the study materials needed for entry exams here, organized by Zhi Zhi, available on my homepage for anyone who wants them!]
[I’m not a fan, just accidentally stumbled upon this. My phone was confiscated for a long time. Can I ask, who is Ji Xizhi? Qu Yixian or Wang Houxiang? Are her materials easy to write?]
[They’re easy to write!!! Even if you’re not a fan, feel free to take them! Use them as you wish~]
[Are you sure about the route change? I heard Ji Xizhi was planning to go to the police station anyway?]
[I have insider news, seems like it was an attempted kidnapping?]
[Kidnapping? Holy smokes! If it was kidnapping, it’s a big deal, a criminal case. When’s the trial? How long’s the sentence gonna be!!!]
Rumors online kept spreading, though there wasn’t a single photo, each rumor sounded more real than the last.
The story eventually turned into: Obsessed fan attempts to kidnap Ji Xizhi during a car following, but Ji Xizhi heroically escapes and turns the kidnapper over to the police!
After receiving education at the police station, the two obsessed fans had just stepped out.
Then they saw the trending news online.
The two of them: “!!! Help!”
They swore never to follow cars again!!!

The female lead of “Rival in Love” was eventually cast as a rookie from a professional background, her name was Shen Yeyi.
Director Jin single-handedly decided on her against all opposing opinions.
Because of the previous wave of publicity involving Ji Xizhi, before filming began, the production received a huge investment, and audience expectations were very high.
Many collaborating companies tried very hard to insert their people into the cast.
Director Jin even asked Ji Xizhi if she’d like a cameo in the drama, a scene that would only take a day to film for a flashback.
Even though it was just a small role, the character was still quite good.
It was a special guest role Director Jin specifically left for Ji Xizhi.
Unfortunately, Ji Xizhi turned him down.
Ji Xizhi was resolute, only accepting a legal consultant position, and that too in a 1v1 arrangement.
Director Jin wasn’t surprised; he was used to it by now and didn’t push further.
Ji Xizhi, after signing the legal consultant contract with the production group, received the agreed-upon documentation.
She planned to organize it and then bring it to school, spending almost the entire day there.
She only stopped when night fell, and the second episode of “Life Experience” was about to air.
Xiao Yuan had just finished revising a paper and was about to cook when Ah Lu suddenly came over.
Ah Lu had been staying at her mom’s place for these past few days and lived in the same complex as Ji Xizhi. She would visit Xiao Yuan from time to time, and this evening she came over with a small cart filled with food.
“Zhi Zhi, my mom made some food, so I brought some over to share!”
Ah Lu gleefully pushed the cart inside, then started taking out container after container of food.
“Braised chicken feet, braised beef, sweet and sour pork, red-braised pig’s trotters…”
Xiao Yuan: “This is just a little? This is a full banquet, isn’t it?”
Ah Lu scratched her head, “It’s all made by my mom, she started preparing in the afternoon. After hearing how close I am with Zhi Zhi, she insisted on making more for Zhi Zhi.”
Xiao Yuan was shocked, “Is your mom a Zhi Zhi fan too?”
Ah Lu’s joyful expression faded a bit as she looked at Ji Xizhi, “Emmm, yes and no. My mom is an exam fan, a super fan…”
Xiao Yuan: “?”
Makes sense, kind of!
Ah Lu: “My mom just hopes I can follow Zhi Zhi’s example. She said if a big star like Zhi Zhi can go to grad school, then why can’t I, a mere extra without even a leading role.”
Xiao Yuan righteously agreed, “Yes, I think your mom is right. You can start by attempting a few test papers, grad school has a bright future! Are you thinking of studying law? I have books and sample tests, you can have a set for free?”
Ah Lu: “?”
Xiao Yuan: “Our company has great benefits and offers excellent pay. We provide full support for grad school preparation; the boss actively encourages you to apply for Qing University. Would you consider it?”
Ah Lu: “…” Damn! Why does she feel tempted?!
Xiao Yuan had already secretly secured Ji Xizhi’s future exclusive makeup artist on this side.
Meanwhile, Ji Xizhi had finished organizing the documents and came over to see the spread of dishes on the table.
She was momentarily stunned.
It seemed like only when she visited her professor’s house did she see so much food.
She was never one for indulging in food, but this represented more than just dishes; it was love.
Ji Xizhi smiled softly and sincerely thanked Ah Lu.
Ah Lu, having just been influenced by Xiao Yuan, was indeed a little tempted.
Upon seeing Ji Xizhi’s expression,
that little bit instantly turned into a huge bit.
Ah Lu, dazzled by beauty: I want to join Zhi Zhi’s company! I want to go to grad school!! I can make it to Qing University!!!

There was a little time left before “Life Experience” aired, and the three were about to eat.
Then the doorbell rang again.
While Xiao Yuan and Ah Lu were setting the table, Ji Xizhi went to open the door.
It was Qin Yutian, Fang Zhuyue, and… someone with an Ultraman helmet.
Qin Yutian and Fang Zhuyue both wore masks.
But Ji Xizhi instantly recognized the two of them, so the other one was obvious too.
As she let them in, Ji Xizhi asked, “How come you’re free to come tonight?”
Fang Zhuyue: “We’re here to catch Uncle Wang’s variety show! Last time you didn’t bring me, so I brought barbecue this time. I have to be in the live stream shots, I need the center spot!”
Fang Zhuyue pushed her way in without hesitation.
Previously, she had thought too much about whether she would look like she was riding on Ji Xizhi’s fame, did it matter?
If not, she’d end up drowning in jealousy!
Fang Zhuyue dashed inside.
Next to her, the Ultraman-headed Zhu Xiu’an panicked.
He had been thinking of chatting with Ji Xizhi for a bit, but the moment Fang Zhuyue mentioned the center spot…
There had to be a battle for that spot and he had to be in it!
Zhu Xiu’an tossed off the helmet and quickly followed her.
Only Qin Yutian remained at the door, slightly more normal. When he met Ji Xizhi’s eyes, his face couldn’t help but turn red, “Sister Zhi Zhi, about last time, thank you.”
Ji Xizhi responded gently, “It’s nothing, just a small favor. Come in and have a seat.”
Hearing her words, Qin Yutian looked even more troubled. He shifted slightly, revealing his little cousin with blue-dyed hair standing behind him.
Qin Yutian sheepishly introduced, “This is my cousin, Qin Xuan. The event last time was because of him, and he insisted on coming along to watch the variety show, sorry for not asking you first…”
Qin Yutian lowered his head slightly, his blush even reaching the base of his neck.
He already felt apologetic for seeking Ji Xizhi’s help last time, and now he brought Qin Xuan without her permission.
While Qin Yutian felt guilty,
Qin Xuan, quickly understanding his cousin’s demeanor, sensed alarm bells ringing.
Oh no! He didn’t keep a close watch, and his cousin seemed to be entranced by Ji Xizhi’s beauty?!
Luckily, he had stayed sharp and tagged along tonight!
Otherwise, who knows what would happen?!
With a strong protectiveness for his cousin, Qin Xuan had already imagined a dramatic story in his head from that eye contact between Qin Yutian and Ji Xizhi at the door: A bewitching fairy ensnaring a good-looking young man in a tragic love tale.
