Chapter 44 - School Forum (1)

“What?” Chi Ying stopped smiling and looked at Lu JingYan in a daze. After a while, she waved the note in her hand and asked, “You mean this?”

Frowning, Lu JingYan took the notes out of Chi Ying’s hand without saying a thing.

The note did, after all, has another person’s contact information on it and fell into the personally identifiable information. Chi Ying studied him and asked, “What do you want it for?”

Lu JingYan looked at Chi Ying intensely for a little bit then, his voice a little dull, he said, “I quite like that guy’s image. Oushi can use him in one of our advertisement.”

Chi Ying bought into it and said, “Wow, you really take care of everything on a personal level.”

Lu JingYan accepted her compliment. “Mmm.”

Chi Ying knew that Lu JingYan was the center of attention no matter where he went and that many might be looking at them right then and there. She said to him in a low voice, “I should go.”

Chi Ying turned and walked away. Lu JingYan didn’t say anything but took one last look at her. Under the fall sunset, the light was a bit dim. Her skin was a milky white and very eye-catching.

His look deepened and his Adam’s apple rolled up and dup. He stood there quietly for a while before he headed over to the main road by himself.

His chauffeur, standing outside of the Bentley, saw Lu JingYan approached him, bowed respectfully and opened up the backside door for him.

Chi Ying walked for a little while and it was already past 5 PM. Jogging, after all, was an activity that required a lot of energy. Feeling that her stomach was somewhat empty and that it was already closed to dinner time, she gave Zhao Wan a call to join her for dinner.

Zhao Wan was lying in bed reading the campus forum with her rare free time.

The name of the boy who had professed his fondness to Chi Ying was He Yi. He was pretty popular among the student union because he was attractive and has well-defined abdominal muscles. A while back, when all the clubs and groups were recruiting for new members, the officers of the student union had successfully become the object of affection of many new students, so majority of the freshmen knew of He Yi.

He Yi’s conversation with Chi Ying in the afternoon had spread among a small group of people and, by that evening, a lot have already heard of it.

The outcome was not surprising but many still talked about this anonymously in the forum.

As the number of people talking about this grew, there started to have some negative voices.

Most of the posts focused on Chi Ying’s age – that she has been out of school for four years and was at least 26 years old now. And whether the fact that so many had professed their fondness for Chi Ying meant that many in the Film Academy were into older woman/younger men romance and that it would make their school the laughing stock in other school’s eyes.

Zhao Wan was very angry after she had finished reading the posts and almost through out her cellphone.

And that’s when Chi Ying’s call came in, her voice soft and tender as usual. “Wanwan, want to go grab dinner? I will wait for you outside of the dormitory.”

Zhao Wan figured that Chi Ying probably didn’t know about what was going on in the forum. As much as she didn’t want to, she told her anyway. “Ying. Not good. Some people are posting negative comments about you on the forum.”

Chi Ying was as calm as usual. “We will still need to eat dinner, right? No reason to go hungry.”
