Chapter 391 (1/2)

A Bright, New Look

Bai Yunshan saw Han Leng finally leaving. She turned to Zhao Youyue and gushed, “I would have never thought that Han Leng, the legendary, new writer, known for his chilly demeanor and eccentricity would look up to you that way. The media had expressed that he had been particularly difficult to deal with. “Rebel” and “Han Leng” are already an inseparable pair. That’s his label! His academical results are horrendous. Even so, he said that he had “SUCCESS” spelled out for him, in big, red letters! Tell me. Why is that guy still attending school?”

Han Leng was undoubtedly a controversial topic among high school students. Last semester was when he became very famous, very quickly. His “Beautiful April” was a hit. He had to deal with various magazines and publishing companies, and was involved in all sorts of promotions. The famous publisher Lu Jinbo, was best at building up genius writers like Han Leng. Not all ‘genius writers’ that he had built up in the past lived up to the hype, but Han Leng absolutely deserved to be called a genius writer.

“Beautiful April” was originally written by Han Leng through his extraordinary performance in writing. He had even created the extremely iconic character, Chu Luoxun. His story had also received blessings from Su Li’s illustration and Ah Yu’s music. All these divine interventions ensured that “Beautiful April” remained relevant and popular for a long, long time. Whenever someone mentioned the words music and violinist, the first person that came to mind was not any famous professional, but the Goddess Chu, Chu Luoxun.

Han Leng’s ‘inexperienced handsome guy’ appearance, produced by Zhao Youyue’s artistic efforts also made it particularly convenient for the famous publisher Lu Jinbo, to sell Han Leng’s works. Although writers did not often rely on their appearances to earn a living, a talented and good-looking writer like Han Leng certainly had a great advantage. He had even taken quite a few poster-worthy, artistic photo shoots, which certainly ended up having great sales as well.

Ever since those photo shoots took the market by storm, his female fan readers increased by droves. If only Han Leng was actually good at hooking up with girls, he could have easily qualified as another one of those “Casanovas.”

That trait was all but absent from Han Leng. He had no interest in ordinary girls. He thought that they simply were too vulgar. The more beautiful a girl, the more superficial she was. Those girls who were not superficial, were not beautiful They could not even be compared to his cross-dressing self. How would he possibly be interested in them?

Han Leng’s boundless pickiness over women robbed him of all his patience when faced with the female race in general. Sometimes, he would even be particularly surly and invective. He would even get naughty and provocative towards Zhao Youyue. In his mind, Lady Zhao loved to raise and nurture her bitches, more than anyone else. She was self-centered as it was, and other women would be even more so.

And there you have it. Sometimes, some people are to be blamed for their own ill-fated. Han Leng’s fate being, to remain single for life. In this case, he brought it upon himself. Ordinary people might hate being lonely, but Han Leng was not ordinary, and he enjoyed it.

Han Leng did not care to see if he had gained a woman’s favor, let alone her ire.

The frequent business-related activities led to the inevitable collapse of his studies. Lu Jinbo had advised him to leave school and focus on writing. “Beautiful April” was enough to last him a lifetime, anyway. Why hesitate?

Moreover, his leaving would trigger a new wave of sensational headlines, grabbing more attention. If he grabbed the opportunity to publish a new book at that time, the book would surely sell like hotcakes!

Now, Han Leng could certainly promote his positive public image and hire a ghostwriter, while releasing new books under his name. They would sell, just as they had in Lin Shiya’s case

Obviously, Han Leng rejected Lu Jinbo’s suggestion. He did not want to leave school, and he would not explain. He would rather write love letters passionately during class.

He was also extremely close with many male students and best brothers. They could sweat together during physical education classes and activity classes. He enjoyed the carefree school life.

The school authority was quite tolerant of him as well. Although his study results were plummeting down an endless spiral, he never violated any school regulations. He had not even gotten into any romantic relationships. He was not rebellious, as the media had promoted. He had a good relationship with many teachers as well
