Chapter 388 (2/2)

Therefore, Bai Yunshan fell into silence.

Zhao Youyue surveyed the silent girl, and was pleased. She was particularly proud of her stealth and deceptive passerby status. She continued, “If someone really recognizes me at a glance, and totally ignores you, I’d eat”

“Yo, Lady Zhao, nice to see you. It looks like you’ve changed your hairstyle.” Han Leng bumped into them. He looked past the beautiful girl Bai Yunshan, and took the initiative to greet Zhao Youyue. After all, they were former classmates and deskmates.

Despite the flippant nature of that line, it had been a most strenuous exertion for Han Leng. He had almost worked up all his nerves to walk up to Lady Zhao and greet her. He might have become the super popular youth writer Leng Zi, but Lady Zhao still reduced him into jellybeans and marshmallows.

On the other hand, Zhao Youyue’s smugness was smashed to pieces. It had left her slightly embarrassed, in front of Bai Yunshan, no less. It greatly displeased her.

Zhao Youyue saw that Han Leng had changed a lot. He had grown a lot taller. He was not in a school uniform, but some very fashionable, well-matched set of clothes that gave her a Deja Vu. Then, she remembered. These were the very clothes that she had suggested Han Leng buy. Not bad. He finally looked like a human. After all, it was upon her suggestion.

Han Leng’s innocent, young and handsome appearance was enough to enrapture countless female fans. It did almost no ‘damage’ to Zhao Youyue. She was the one who had bestowed this power upon him. You see, Lady Zhao’s words never bore any ill-will, they were all for your own good.

“Hello, great scholar Han. Congratulations on your new work, I head it’s another best-seller!” Zhao Youyue bit back her displeasure and replied with an impeccable smile on her face.

Standing at the sidelines, Bai Yunshan felt that Han Leng was a rather complex character. He had some good taste, too.

Before Han Leng, the two girls had walked past several other former classmates. They had all ended up ignoring Zhao Youyue. Han Leng was the only person who had recognized Zhao Youyue. On top of that, he had even ignored Bai Yunshan.

Bai Yunshan still remembered something that happened at the end of last semester. A senior from the twelfth grade pulled off a grand, confession ceremony. She had driven her sports car to school and confessed to Han Leng. Apparently, she was an actual Lady. A professional dancer. She had been contracted to an agency and would be having her debut as part of an idol group.

In the end, Han Leng the great scholar, the one who earned the ire of all other male students, rejected her outrightly, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.” The senior eventually gave up.

This matter had even become entertainment news, and once gained the third place on Weibo’s hot search results. Han Leng gained more fame, and along the way, more female fans. They felt that he was just like his name, so cool, so icy. He was a so-called “Clueless Chick Magnet”[2]. There and then, many passionate female fans had set a life goal. They coveted for Han Leng’s heart…

The other men only accused Han Leng of showing off. They barked that Han Leng was doomed to have a lonely life. That girl had already taken things to such an extent, yet he still rejected her. She was an absolutely stunning one, too. What a waste!

Others asked Han Leng, “Who do you actually know, then?”

The world knows me not.

My eyes only know you.

And who are you?

A Goddess.

The one who haunts my dreams and my days, my Aphrodite.

Translation Note:

[1] MT – MT is an acronym for “Main-Tank” or “Monster-Tank.” It refers to a central player in an MMORPG game that draws the monsters’ aggro towards himself, making himself the monsters’ target, and withstands all the attacks.

[2] Clueless Chick Magnet – A character who is his own worst enemy when it comes to love. In fact, he’s pretty much his only enemy in this arena. Wherever they go, it seems that for some reason they attract some romantic attention, in theory there is no reason why they couldn’t go on to be with a new person every night. The only problem is they are so unfamiliar with the dating scene they don’t realize the girl who is hovering around him, batting her eyes, trying every excuse to make physical contact with them and suggesting they go back to her place qualifies as flirting and not simply being friendly.
