In the enormous meeting room, Wang Zheng couldn’t help but laugh at seeing how Ye Zisu was so unsettled.
“Just look at your evil laugh. Have you got some ‘brilliant’ idea brewing?”
Wang Zheng waved innocently. “No, it’s just that I’ve never seen you this nervous. Is there a need for such a strong reaction?”
“I love Huiyin’s Angelic voice! It’s easier to fall asleep listening to her songs.”
“To me, only that song ‘Not Afraid’ has some style. The rest are like lullabies. That little girl’s ability is limited.”
Wang Zheng laughed. He’d heard quite a few of Lin Huiyin’s songs. Her voice was indeed very captivating, but it was not something he’d listen to over and over again. There were no stories to them.
“Careful! Her fans will skin you alive!”
“Whoa, that cruel?” Wang Zheng looked at her with pitiful eyes.
“Not necessarily that cruel. But talking ill behind someone else’s back, that, I’ll remember.”
A crisp and clear voice rang from the entrance. Student Wang froze.
A cheeky girl appeared at the door. In casual wear, with long, wavy blonde hair, she looked like an adorable, exquisite doll. Wang Zheng had never seen such supple skin before. She had an air of freshness in the way she looked. Her big, clear eyes, blinked at him adorably. No one could possibly dislike her.
Angela frowned. How did he dare to say something like that? If they were someplace else, she’d give him a good lecture. How did he dare to speak ill of Lin Huiyin?
Wang Zheng couldn’t care less. He’d hoped Lin Huiyin would chase him off. But what a pity, that girl didn’t pick on that matter.
“Miss Lin, may I know what you’re interested in? We’ll take you anywhere you want to go.” She was so much better looking in person than on TV! She was absolutely adorable, and Zisu wanted to give her a big hug.
Lin Huiyin flashed a sweet smile. “Sister Zisu, just calling me Huiyin will do. I’m interested in everything you do. What you normally do, I’ll have a go!”
Sister Zisu… Ye Zisu’s heart melted. She grabbed Lin Huiyin by the hand and started chatting with her non-stop.
Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. Sigh. He had always had the impression that Ye Zisu was rational and calm. To think she was so easily confounded! Just addressing her as “sister” had won her over completely.
The female escort looked at him with hostility. Wang Zheng did not join them. He waited quietly. He had nothing to do with their girl talk. However, remembering the ‘threats’ from the beasts in his suite, he could only press on.
The two girls giggled as they chattered away, glancing at Wang Zheng occasionally. He was not too sure what Ye Zisu had said, but it made Lin Huiyin giggle non-stop. Both men and women could not resist the powers of an adorable little girl, let alone the fact that Lin Huiyin was Ye Zisu’s idol. Wang Zheng could only imagine himself being sold out completely within the short moment.
“Angela, I’m heading out with Sister Zisu for a moment. Do not follow us.”
“Miss, your safety is my responsibility,” Angela replied, eyeing Wang Zheng as though he was an enemy.
Seemed like this woman bore grudges. Wang Zheng was being targeted for nothing.
“Don’t worry, I came prepared.”
She tied her hair up and put on a huge pair of shades that covered half her face. Topped with a cap, nobody could recognize her now.
Angela shook her head insistently. “I will follow you from afar.”
Lin Huiyin could only agree. The three of them snuck out from the back door. There was a large group of journalists waiting out in the front.
Lin Huiyin was elated to be out. She could finally relax on Earth despite her fame. This was unlike in Aslan, where people stared at her wherever she went. It was hard for her to even have a whiff of fresh air.
“Wang Zheng, are my songs horrible?” Lin Huiyin asked, her tone all serious.
Wang Zheng was taken by surprise. A cute little girl, yet so serious. “It’s not that they’re not nice, but I personally prefer songs with a story. Like ‘Not Afraid’! That song’s pretty good.”
Wang Zheng had blurted the words out before Ye Zisu could stop him. He wasn’t afraid of offending her, anyway. It’d be even better if she asked him to leave.
“Huiyin, don’t listen to him. Wang Zheng has no musical talent. He ‘s just a war-loving barbarian. What are you interested in seeing?”
“Plenty! I want to know what college students play on Earth. I heard you like to play basketball, and baseball too?” Lin Huiyin asked curiously.
Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu glanced at each other. What does that mean? They enjoy playing it ‘too?’ These sports originated on Earth.
“Can I take a look?”
“Of course!” Ye Zisu naturally agreed to all her requests. Moreover, Huiyin was just like an adorable little sister no matter how you looked at her. She was way more pleasant than those arrogant celebrities.
Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu did not bring Huiyin to their own school. It was too obvious. Not far from Ares was Beijing University, one of the best universities on Earth. Not a military school, of course.
In terms of size, Beijing University was five times that of Ares College. Ye Zisu knew that place well, apparently having been there often. Wang Zheng was breaking out in perspiration. He didn’t even know of the place. To think he was from Beijing!
The three of them did not take a cab, they took the city’s rail. Huiyin had earnestly requested to do that so that someone could not even dream of tagging along.
Wang Zheng never would’ve thought that Ye Zisu’s Skylink was installed with a transport card. Given her background, he thought she’d never use the rail transport.
Wang Zheng stared at her. Ye Zisu grinned. “Why, can’t I take the rail transport?”
Student Wang was embarrassed. “Nothing. I just thought you’d never take it”
“You must be talking about Yue Jing. Really getting to know somebody isn’t just from the way they look!” Ye Zisu said, seemingly implying something else.
Suddenly, Lin Huiyin grabbed Ye Zisu’s arm. “Sister Zisu, that tall building looks so cool! Does it produce mecha?”
A huge ‘OMG’ was written on the top of the building.
Ye Zisu smiled. “Yes, my dear. Are you interested in mecha too?”
“Not in the past. I recently saw a video of a weird Skeleton fighting. It seemed fun,” Huiyin replied.
Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. What ‘weird Skeleton?’ There was no one else quite as serious as he was.
“The Skeleton is a popular character on Earth. Many people watch his battles live. It’s said there’s close to 2 million VIPs now. ” Ye Zisu liked it very much too. The girls in her dorm would fight to watch almost every single match. Furthermore, her family even produced and repaired mecha!
Lin Huiyin looked at Wang Zheng, half smiling. Student Wang felt cold air blow against his neck. This girl had a weird look.
Beijing University Station. It was said that the gate of the school was carefully designed and built. Beijing University’s main entrance could definitely be described as tall, generous, and classy. Having undergone numerous maintenance works, it was a symbol of the University. Foreigners were bound to be astounded by it.
The school was getting crowded. Plus, an integrated university like this one had a population made up of 70% girls. It’s said that the ratio of beautiful girls was greater here, too. Quoting the words from a senior at Ares, “attend Ares, flirt at Beijing.” The girls at Beijing had a thing or two for the boys from Ares. The two colleges had a long and complex history. It was said that a Beauty Protection Movement was once started by Beijing University, and they demonstrated in Ares, protesting Ares’ immoral act of cross-territory flirting. Of course, it was hardly of any use.
” I almost came to school here,” Ye Zisu said. Personally, Ye Zisu should have been more inclined to attend Beijing University and not Ares College, where warfare and military matters filled even the air. Plus, considering the aspect of running a business, Beijing would have been a more suitable option for her.
“Why? Did you go to Ares because of a boy you liked, Sister Zisu?”
Lin Huiyin asked out of the blue.
Ye Zisu blushed. Her secrets were exposed. “Nah, I just like mecha.”
Lin Huiyin was a couple of years younger than the two and half a head shorter. The trio looked more like elder siblings bringing their little Sister on a tour of the University.
Along the way, Ye Zisu made quite a few heads turn. Even in Beijing, where there were plenty of pretty girls, Ye Zisu was still an exceptional beauty. Moreover, she had put in extra effort in her appearance. She had to be appropriately dressed for her meeting with Lin Huiyin.
In Ares College, there were plenty of training grounds. In Beijing University, however, the ambient was much more youthful and campus-like. People came and went in pairs. It was the season of love. The school alleys filled with cultural significance were something Ares could never match up to. The campus was great, apart from the extravagant main gate.
On the tracks, a number of male students were sweating themselves out. The females watched and cheered them on.
At the baseball auto-feeder, there were both males and females striking at the balls. A suave lad had just hit a homerun. Waves of screams ensued.
The lad waved, and the screams became even more high pitched. When he glanced over and caught sight of them, he walked over immediately.
Wang Zheng smiled bitterly. Fancy bumping into someone they knew here.
Zhao Lingfeng, Mr. Popular from Dawn Middle School. Back in Dawn, Zhao Lingfeng was even more well-known and popular than Wang Zheng was at Ares now. Yan Xiaosu had told Wang Zheng more than once how great it’d be if he could become Zhao Lingfeng.
1.89m. 80kg. All-rounded. Excellent grades. Got into Beijing University as the top student of Beijing’s non-military course. High in IQ and EQ.
Judging from the current situation, having made it to Beijing, where there were crouching tigers and hiding dragons, Zhao Lingfeng was still receiving a lot of attention.
“Zisu! Long time no see! Did you finally remember your old friend?” Zhao Lingfeng smiled, his neat, white teeth gleaming. Yan Xiaosu would even dream of plucking a few of his teeth out.
Sigh. Please forgive Student Yan for his evil thoughts.
Ye Zisu didn’t expect to see him there either. “Lingfeng, you’re still as glamorous as ever. Seems like you’ve bewitched quite a number of girls here at Beijing University!”
Zhao Lingfeng grinned. “They’re nowhere compared to you. This is….?”
Zhao Lingfeng looked blankly at Wang Zheng.
“Aren’t you classmates?” Lin Huiyin suddenly spoke.
Only then did Zhao Lingfeng notice Lin Huiyin. The girl’s cap was worn low and only half of her face could be seen, but she looked rather cute.
“Wang Zheng. Not in my class, but in my cohort. He and I are both at Ares College.”
Ye Zisu glanced at Wang Zheng. He was hardly any different from an invisible man back in middle school.
