Financial Independence through Cracked Apps-Chapter 162 - 135: Is Senior Here?

5:30 PM.

Shanghai International Studies University, Teaching Building 1, Room 405.

"Great work!"

After they finished filming the first scene, Jiang Wan took the initiative to walk over to Lin Shen with a tissue. She thoughtfully wiped the sweat from his brow and teased him with a light laugh.

"I have more screen time and lines than you, so how come you seem more nervous than me?"

"Maybe it’s because it’s my first time."

Looking at the gentle expression on Jiang Wan’s face, Lin Shen joked.

"I’m giving my first time to you, Senior. You’d better cherish it."

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Wan clearly understood the innuendo in Lin Shen’s words. But instead of getting shy, she just gave him a fond, sidelong glance, the corners of her lips curling into a rather playful smile.

"This is your senior’s first time too, you know. You can’t just love me and leave me."

"So this is your first time acting too, Senior."

Lin Shen said, realization dawning on him.

"You seem to have a real talent for acting. I feel like you could even try to make it in showbiz."

"Being an actress was actually my childhood dream."

Jiang Wan tossed the used tissue into the trash can and casually unclipped the sports camera from Lin Shen’s chest.

"It’s just that when I grew up, I felt like the dream was too hard to achieve, so I gave up on it."

"Maybe you’ll get a chance in the future."

Lin Shen leaned in to look over the footage they had just shot with Jiang Wan.

Although there were some minor flaws, they could be fixed in post-production with editing. Overall, it was pretty good.

"Senior, send me these clips when you get back."

"Hm?"

Jiang Wan glanced at Lin Shen, her beautiful eyes blinking with confusion and curiosity.

"You know how to do post-production editing?"

"A little."

Lin Shen said modestly, not daring to make any guarantees.

’After all, he had only ever used the Super Retouching AI to edit photos. He had never tried its video editing functions, so he had no idea what the final product would look like.’

’Anyway, he wanted to give it a try. Plus, he could use this footage to complete the Camera and Album mission. Kill two birds with one stone!’

"You’re really multi-talented."

Jiang Wan couldn’t help but exclaim, her eyes filled with admiration and respect for Lin Shen.

"You can take photos, do post-production editing, and you even know about pets... Your range of hobbies is way too broad!"

"I quit my job to stay home. When you’re bored, you’ve got to find something to do."

Lin Shen gave a modest smile, then quickly changed the subject.

"What are we doing next?"

"Since we went to all the trouble of coming here today, let’s just finish filming both scenes for the campus segment."

Jiang Wan suggested.

"Let’s go to the athletic field next and shoot the second part, okay?"

"No problem."

And so, led by Jiang Wan, Lin Shen followed her out of the classroom and to the main athletic field of Shanghai International Studies University.

A soccer game was underway on the grassy field in the middle, with a group of female university students sitting on the sidelines, cheering.

The surrounding track was sparsely dotted with people walking and jogging.

Such a harmonious and pleasant campus scene provided the perfect opportunity for a shot.

Lin Shen clipped the sports camera back onto his chest. After briefly going over the scene with Jiang Wan, he started recording.

Perhaps because she was essentially playing herself, her every smile, frown, and subtle movement highlighted the character’s gentleness and hint of playfulness.

She was practically no different from the real Jiang Wan!

Because of this, the two of them encountered almost no obstacles while filming.

A little over an hour later, they successfully finished the second part of the scene.

However, to capture a more beautiful and romantic scene, Lin Shen deliberately sat with Jiang Wan by the edge of the field, quietly waiting for the sunset.

A warm, golden light flowed across the entire field, moving past the shadows cast by the grandstand roof and gradually spreading over Jiang Wan.

Her blue and white school uniform seemed to glow faintly, and her delicate, pretty face was bathed in a captivating radiance.

You could clearly see her almost translucent, fluttering eyelashes. Strands of her soft hair drifted slowly in the gentle breeze, the tips adorned with the deep orange light of dusk.

Jiang Wan curled her legs up, hugging her knees.

Her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, her smile gentle.

"I love the peaceful atmosphere on campus, and I love watching all these energetic students. That’s why I applied to be a counselor. I feel like this kind of life is meaningful."

"I think so, too."

Lin Shen propped himself up with his hands on the grass behind him, his legs spread out casually. He was a stark contrast to the demure Jiang Wan beside him.

At that moment, he suddenly felt completely relaxed, as if he had been instantly transported back to his carefree university days.

No pressure from work, no worries about life.

This was perhaps the closest one ever came to being middle class, a time to enjoy the four best years of one’s life.

Afterward, everyone would return to their respective social classes and never experience this feeling again.

Lin Shen took a deep breath, the scent of sun-warmed grass filling his nose, refreshing his spirit.

Just then, Jiang Wan suddenly rested her head on his shoulder, her red lips parting as she called his name softly.

"Lin Shen."

"What is it?"

"I want to kiss."

’Huh?’

Lin Shen turned to look at Jiang Wan’s face, full of anticipation, and couldn’t help but mutter to himself internally.

’This senior really loves kissing, doesn’t she?’

’She’s a total kissing fiend!’

’Still, Lin Shen could understand. After all, the atmosphere was just too perfect.’

’The sunset, the athletic field.’

’Quiet and serene.’

’Not kissing would be a criminal waste of such a perfect mood!’

Still, Lin Shen glanced around.

There were still a lot of university students on the field. Plus, Jiang Wan’s "limited edition high school uniform skin" was too conspicuous, drawing quite a few furtive glances.

Kissing under these circumstances... even the normally thick-skinned Lin Shen couldn’t quite handle it.
