Ning Yi’s company is running smoothly, and the funds are arriving quickly. Soon, "Before Death" was on the schedule for recruiting actors.

Ning Yi is directing for the first time, a true newcomer in the entertainment circle.

"Before Death" is the first film the company is producing.

The total start-up capital of "Yi Light Year" is a little over ten million, with such little funding, the salaries for actors are bound to be low.

Initially, Ning Yi was a bit worried, contemplating whether to seek more investment or find a couple of actors with some fame to lead the cast.

Xia Youqing also asked him whether she could help by playing the female lead, with zero remuneration.

However, Ning Yi felt that Xia Youqing did not match the physical appearance or the temperament of the film’s female lead.

Another person agreed with him on this.

After discussing together, they decided to recruit all newcomers to act.

This coincidentally aligned with Wang Ji’s method in the past life.

You Guang had faith in her father’s professional ability due to her past life experience.

Yet, because of the unique nature of "Before Death," she still paid attention to the recruitment of actors for the film.

When the time came to recruit the leads for "Before Death," the seven-year-old girl purposely took her backpack and skipped school to observe the audition.

As expected, due to Ning Yi’s obscurity in the circle, very few actors came for auditions.

Regardless, Ning Yi and another person chose to handle it seriously; even though the number of auditionees was low, they did not lower their selection standards.

For several days in a row, Ning Yi and another person only selected a few supporting roles, while there were still no suitable choices for the male and female leads.

Until the nineteenth day.

Another time coming to observe the actor recruitment, little You Guang saw among the waiting actors the male lead from her past life’s "Before Death," which set her mind at ease completely.

...

Qiu Shi Primary School was only separated by two or three streets from the Xia family’s mansion; it was a well-known public elementary school in Jincheng.

All the Xia family’s children attended elementary school here.

Ning Youguang, upon entering primary school, also chose to study at this school. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

...

Autumn, the start of the school year.

In front of Qiu Shi Primary School, there was a bustling scene with a mix of cars and people as well as small carts selling various toys and snacks, a lively atmosphere.

You Guang was led by her cousin Xia Fei, walking with her cousin Xia Dai under the plane trees in front of the school gate, observing the crowd full of life, feeling the flow of time like water, everything seemed quite interesting.

She was already a second-grade student.

Her cousin Xia Fei was a fifth-grade student, while her cousin Xia Dai was a third-grade student.

...

The first day of the new term had officially started.

They wore the same blue and white uniform and walked to school together without any adults accompanying them.

As they approached the school gate, Shi Wangyue standing at the gate caught sight of the sister walking in the middle.

He stood still, with no expression on his face, but the emotions in his eyes were restraining excitement.

"Little Wangyue."

Very soon, You Guang also saw him and went to meet him.

Seeing the kid dressed in a brand-new uniform, with a backpack, standing straight against the somewhat weathered wall by the school gate, the sunlight on him, his fair face suffused with warm light, she felt unexpectedly moved.

"Did you come to school by yourself?"

"No, my mom brought me here, and I asked her to go home."

On the first day of school for first grade, Shi Wangyue had been waiting for a long time, so he came very early and had already been waiting at the school gate for a long time.

"Which class are you in?"

Meeting Shi Wangyue, You Guang let go of her cousin’s hand and walked side by side with him into the campus.

Xia Fei and Xia Dai shrugged at each other before following them.

"First grade, Class Three."

"Second grade, Class One."

The kid pursed his lips without continuing to talk.

Yet, a sense of frustration arose inside him.

...

As it was an old, well-established public elementary school, Qiu Shi Primary School’s facilities were average, the campus was small, and the teaching building was somewhat old.

But walking in the campus, looking at the mottled walls, lush trees, flourishing oleanders, it felt as if able to soak in the warm scent of time and books, You Guang felt okay.

First grade was on the first floor of the teaching building, and second grade was on the second floor.

After separating from Xia Fei and Xia Dai, You Guang and Shi Wangyue soon arrived at the junction of the stairs.

"I’ll come to see you when I can."

Waving goodbye to the kid, You Guang smiled and walked away with a girl in her same class whom she had just met.

Shi Wangyue stood quietly in the shadow near the staircase on the first floor of the teaching building, her gaze tightly following the sister and another girl he didn’t know, until their figures disappeared at the stairway to the second floor.

He heard the unfamiliar girl laughingly ask his sister:

"How do you know a first-grade junior, is he your neighbor?"

The sister said: "Not neighbors, we used to be kindergarten tablemates."

"Tablemates, huh, then why is he in the first grade?"

"He was sick and hospitalized before, so he took a year off from school."

Until afterward, even when he couldn’t hear their voices anymore, he still stayed there for a long time without leaving.

He didn’t want to be a junior.

He wanted to continue being his sister’s tablemate.

...

In Jincheng, although it was already autumn, the sun was still strong.

On Qiu Shi Primary School’s campus, many class students were having physical education classes under the glaring sun on the playground.

Compared to the classmates sweating under the heat, Shi Wangyue, allowed to rest under the cypress trees by the flower beds, seemed enviable.

"The teacher is so unfair; why must we stand here as punishment while he gets to enjoy the breeze there?"

"I heard he has a problem with his leg."

"I see him walking usually just fine."

Two classmates from Class Three, after being punished for not attentively learning and having uneven movements, couldn’t help but direct their anger at Shi Wangyue, who always got to sit under the tree shade during PE class.

"Surely it’s because his family has connections that the teacher treats him so well."

"Do you want to find out if his leg issue is real or fake?"

"What are you going to do?"

Liu Susu drove a Mercedes daily to drop her son off at school, often spotted by Shi Wangyue’s classmates, which had long sparked discussions within some small cliques in the class.

Six or seven years old children slowly learning to be worldly-wise like their parents, understood certain social conventions.

They derived from this that Shi Wangyue’s family must be wealthy.

This speculation quickly caught the attention of some students with ulterior motives.

Those from ordinary backgrounds would automatically may intentionally keep a distance from him.

Of course, Shi Wangyue was always alone in the class, seldom speaking with his classmates.

The two boys directing their anger at Shi Wangyue, Li Junfeng, and Chen Hao, were the mischievous kind, loving to do eye-catching things aiming for attention.

Shi Wangyue was not part of the group, which made them particularly discontent with him.

If they couldn’t mess with him, then who could they mess with?

As soon as the PE teacher announced their punishment was over, the two ran over next to Shi Wangyue.
