Chapter 59
About an hour later, the movie finally ended, and Chi Yan didn't even dare to glance around.
After the movie ended, the two walked out of the theater, and there was a game arcade right next to the movie theater. Chi Yan looked at the time and it was still early, so he pulled Chu Yang to the game arcade next door and said, "Let's play some games, they have basketball shooting here, good for practice."
Chi Yan went to exchange some game coins, then brought Chu Yang to a basketball shooting game, put in coins, and it started. Chu Yang was still a little nervous, she picked up a basketball and started shooting, sometimes making it, sometimes missing. She lost quickly.
Chi Yan comforted her, "Let's play another round, I'll help you." Then he put in another coin, and with several quick "swishes", Chi Yan scored several in a row without missing a single shot... People around were all looking over.
Chu Yang was also very excited, "Come on, come on, you're so good! Go go go!" They kept playing for almost ten minutes before stopping, having gotten bored of it...
Then Chi Yan took Chu Yang to play racing games, shooting games, whack-a-mole, and more. Finally they played the claw machine again. Chi Yan stood behind Chu Yang, holding her small hand in his big one, "Which one do you want?"
Chu Yang pointed at a little dinosaur doll on the side, "That one."
"Ok."
Chi Yan held Chu Yang's hand and slowly operated the machine. Chu Yang slowed her breathing, staring intently. This was harder than fortune telling. She had never succeeded in catching anything before after trying many times.
The little dinosaur was grabbed, slowly moved, released, dropped into the chute, got stuck for a moment, then dropped down!
"Ahhh got it!"
Chu Yang bent down and took out the little dinosaur, then turned around and gave Chi Yan a hug. "Haha you're so good at this!"
Chi Yan just smiled, one arm around her waist, the other hand on her shoulder. Lowering his head, he could smell the scent of her hair.
By now, Chu Yang was holding a big stuffed toy bear in one hand, and two little stuffed animals in the other - all spoils of their gaming victory!
Chi Yan helped carry one of the big stuffed toy bears as the two walked hand in hand towards the parking lot. Though reluctant, it was getting late.
As they walked, suddenly someone behind them yelled, "Robbery!"
Chu Yang stopped and looked back to see a man in a duckbill cap and face mask charging towards them. He slammed into Chu Yang's shoulder. "Ow!" Chu Yang cried out as one of the little stuffed animals in her hand dropped to the ground. Her body spun around and she almost fell over, but Chi Yan quickly put his arms around her to hold her steady.
By the time she regained her balance, the robber had already run far away. Chu Yang could only blame her bad luck. Her shoulder hurt a bit. Chi Yan asked worriedly as he helped pick up her stuffed animal, "Are you okay? Does your shoulder hurt a lot?"
Chu Yang rubbed it, "It's fine. Let's just go." The robber would be punished by the police uncle anyway.
Nothing else happened and Chi Yan soon dropped Chu Yang off at her dorm. As Chu Yang undid her seatbelt to get out of the car, Chi Yan suddenly grabbed her hand. Chu Yang: ?
Chi Yan's head moved forward suddenly, and all Chu Yang felt was a soft touch on her forehead before he let go of her hands. "Good night."
Chu Yang dazedly replied, "Good night." Then she got out holding the big stuffed bear toy and one small stuffed animal, leaving the other with Chi Yan. After walking a few steps, she turned around - Chi Yan was still watching her. She called out, "I had a great time today, thank you!" Then she finally entered the girls' dorm building.
After Chu Yang's figure disappeared from sight, Chi Yan drove away smiling. Meanwhile, Lin Shushu who lived upstairs happened to see Chu Yang getting out of the Mercedes and immediately took a photo, posting it on her own Weibo account with the caption: "It's because our school has people like this who love vanity and ruin the atmosphere of the entire school."
Lin Shushu crafted her Weibo persona as a talented female student of the prestigious A University. She liked to post about school life - photos of the A University student council office, videos of studying in the A University library, eating in the cafeteria, and so on.
The comments were full of:
"Wow, what a cool girl, she's actually a student at A University!"
"Is the girl a member of the A University student council? So awesome, I heard only elites get in."
"The A University cafeteria looks so yummy and cheap!"
"The girl is so hardworking despite getting into such a good university, she's still so diligent!"
Every time, Lin Shushu would humbly reply:
"Oh stop it, just alright."
"Haha, nothing special."
"No no, just love learning a bit more."
But when Lin Shushu posted this photo, someone soon commented: "The girl in the photo is so pretty!"
Lin Shushu immediately replied: "But her conduct is questionable."
Other fans commented:
"She's getting out of a Mercedes, could it be she's being supported as a mistress?"
"Clearly!"
"Some university students will do this for money. The car probably had some beer-bellied disgusting old man inside."
"Just thinking about it makes me want to puke."
"Every school has people like this, but the girl is right, people like this really ruin A University's reputation."
"Just a vain girl, I wonder how much she charges per night? One of my brothers said he wants to sleep with her."
Seeing these comments, Lin Shushu was very happy.
When Li Qinglu returned to their dorm room, she immediately told her, "I just saw Chu Yang getting out of a Mercedes, could she be..."
Li Qinglu looked disbelief: "No way."
Lin Shushu said firmly: "Why not? Wasn't she like this before?"
Li Qinglu hesitated: "Maybe it was her boyfriend? I mean, Chi Yan."
Lin Shushu waved her hand in dismissal. "Impossible! Her boyfriend is always riding that little sheep scooter, how could he possibly drive a Mercedes worth over a million yuan?"
Li Qinglu sighed, "If that's the case, I think we should still let Chi Yan know."
Thinking of Chi Yan's looks, Lin Shushu blushed a little. "I'll...I'll go tell him."
Li Qinglu thought that was good.
The next morning, Chu Yang rode her little sheep scooter to the library at B University again with Chi Yan to study. In the afternoon Chi Yan sent her to the residential district to tutor. Then they returned to school that evening.
That night as Chi Yan walked Chu Yang back to her dorm holding her hand, his phone suddenly popped up a WeChat request to add a new friend. The person said they had compromising materials on his girlfriend.
Chi Yan could immediately tell it was a scammer, so he ignored it without responding.
Soon, the person sent another request saying: "I saw your girlfriend together with a man last night. I have photos."
Chi Yan thought, last night his girlfriend was with him the whole time! Clearly just trying to scam him. He wanted to see what photos the person had. After accepting the request, Chi Yan directly asked: "What photos?"
The person immediately sent the photo of Chu Yang getting out of a Mercedes. Chi Yan: ...... He quickly screenshot the messages and the scammer's WeChat ID and other information. Then he immediately blocked them!
What the hell!
