Chapter 571 (2/2)

Lady Zhao could earn a living with her face alone, but her tongue was far deadlier.

‘How do you rate my chances – as a relatively green voice actress – when it comes to dating a light novelist?’ Zhao Youyue meekly said, as if she was truly a small fry.

Du Hang’s honest mind could never regard Xiao Yu as just another little voice actress. In fact, most light novelists out there would consider Xiao Yu to be the Goddess of strength and beauty.

Ke Zheng would definitely be on the cloud nine if he was to know that the Ah Yu was actually asking for a date with him. Neverthelss, Zuo Lin Ying would still be number one in his heart. Ah Yu was still relatively new to the scene and was not near active enough to be serious.

‘Relax, Ke Zheng is not that kind of arrogant, hard-to-get-along-with author. He’ll also love having a little sister. He doesn’t have one himself, but he’s always writing about little sisters in his books.’ This was probably Du Hang’s attempt of trying to portray Ke Zheng in as bright a picture as possible, not knowing that it actually sounded weird and would probably raise a few eyebrows.

Fortunately, Zhao Youyue was not just any other ordinary girl. She thought that those hikikomoris were naïve and adorable in their own way. The world could do with more of them. She loved being simple and direct, just like Han Leng. Other girls might not welcome the presence of these hikikomoris, or worse, they would outrightly despise them.

The door opened, and He Weiwei strode in. Only Zhao Youyue gave her a nod of approval. The eccentric pairing of Han Leng and Du Hang did not even skip a beat in their incessant chattering. They paid no notice whatsoever to He Weiwei.

They both acknowledged that only Lady Zhao was special – she was the only one who actually understood them. No matter how they explained themselves – nobody would accept them, so there was no point even trying.

Let’s cite a sentence by Du Hang –

Assuming that others would understand you after explaining yourself is arrogance in its highest form.

A chance meeting with a kindred spirit is euphoria in its ultimate form.

He Weiwei was not one bit interested in Du Hang. On the other hand, she found Han Leng slightly attractive. If he was not already taken by Lady Zhao, she would have even approached him more proactively.

On the other hand, Han Leng was not even bothered about her. To him, He Weiwei was the type of girl who was every bit as pervasive as the rest of the world. She would have nothing new to offer, nothing new to explore.

And so, the first club activity ended with a rather unceremonious tea ceremony. Zhou Chai had lived up to her word and did not turn up, further cementing on her claims that joining the society was purely for the extra-curricular points.
