Chu Yang was thinking it would be better to co a little later, so she was about to slip away. Chi Yan happened to glance around just then and saw a familiar figure, so he imdiately made a pause gesture and ran over. "Chu Yang, you ca!"
Everyone around imdiately looked over.
Chu Yang: ...Too late to slip away now.
Chu Yang pretended to be calm on the surface and greeted him, "Hi."
Wei Feng and the others also saw it was her and gathered around. "Big...uh, hello Chu."
"Did Chu co to find Yan?"
Chu Yang greeted them, "Yeah, I have sothing to discuss, sorry to interrupt you all."
Yuan Zhi waved his hand, "No problem, don't worry about it. Why don't you sit on the sidelines and watch us play basketball for a bit Chu? We'll finish up soon and then we can all go eat together. B University has pretty good food. We'll have Yan treat you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
They chatted very amicably. The girls watching around were gossiping amongst themselves. "Who's that girl?"
"Yan and Zhi are both talking to her!"
"She seems really familiar with Yan and the others."
"Do we have soone like her at our school?"
"That girl is from A University next door." The girl speaking was the one who had seen Chi Yan and Chu Yang together on the bus before.
"What? Soone from another school poaching our guys?"
"She's not even that pretty." This was from a jealous girl.
"Although...she's prettier than you." Another girl rolled her eyes. "I know we're not thrilled when guys we like have a girl around, but let's not trash talk her." She was just as pretty as their school belle after all.
Over with Chu Yang, she ended up sitting in a chair at the edge of the basketball court with Chi Yan's jacket and water bottle next to her.
The basketball court soon livened up again. As Chu Yang watched, she had to admit it was quite a feast for the eyes to watch the energetic, testosterone-filled hunks play basketball.
After about half an hour, practice ended. Chi Yan ca over and sat next to Chu Yang. He took a drink of water first, then used a towel to wipe off so sweat. Picking up his jacket, he said to Chu Yang, "Let's go eat."
Chu Yang: ...She just wanted to ask Chi Yan about sothing from elentary school.
But she didn't want to ruin everyone's mood, so she went along to eat with them.
The school cafeteria had private rooms. Chu Yang followed them into one, then realized...she was the only girl at the table.
But they were very considerate of her, letting her order first. Chu Yang randomly picked two dishes, then the rest ordered a ton more. The appetite of a group of male college students who had just exercised could be imagined.
They chatted while eating, all tactfully not talking too much with Chu Yang. After all, it seed like she had co to find Chi Yan. Only Chi Yan chatted with her occasionally, sotis even using his chopsticks to put food in her bowl.
After eating their fill, it was already evening. They all tactfully left, except for Chi Yan and Chu Yang. Yuan Zhi and Wei Feng made aningful eye contact with Chi Yan before leaving, silently saying "tempting beauty" with their eyes.
Chi Yan who understood: ...
It was cold in the evening. Chi Yan put on his jacket and was also holding a basketball. He walked alongside Chu Yang.
"That's right, did you co find today for sothing important?"
Chu Yang had been wondering how to bring it up to him. With him asking, she quickly said, "Yes, sothing very important."
Chu Yang's expression beca serious. "Yesterday when I passed by the kindergarten near your residential area, I felt sothing was off. So when I got back to my dorm, I 'looked' and saw that tomorrow, or maybe the day after, a man will rush into the elentary school with a knife."
They could all imagine what would happen if soone rushed into a school with a knife. Chi Yan also instantly beca serious. "What?"
"But I don't know how to prevent this. That's why I was looking for you to ask your opinion. Since it's a school near your residential area, a lot of the students are probably from your complex right?" Chu Yang analyzed.
Chi Yan nodded. "Right, a lot of the kids from the complex go to school there."
Chu Yang looked at Chi Yan. "It's urgent, but I have no way to handle it. I can't just rush over and say a bad person will co tomorrow, or directly call the police saying soone's planning to attack XX Elentary School. If I did that, I'd probably be the pri suspect arrested."
Chi Yan understood. "I know, I'll think of sothing. Leave it to . I'll resolve it. Don't worry." In just those two minutes, Chi Yan had already thought of several plans.
To put Chu Yang at ease, Chi Yan said, "I'll stand guard at the school entrance tomorrow."
Chu Yang looked at him. Although she could tell from his muscular outline when he played basketball that he was pretty fit, still... "Won't that be dangerous?"
Chi Yan shook his head. "It's fine. I'll find people to co with . Anyway, leave this to . I promise I'll handle it properly."
Seeing Chi Yan's sincere gaze, Chu Yang decided to trust him. "Alright. Thank you."
Chi Yan: "No need for thanks. Maintaining social order is a responsibility for ordinary citizens too."
When Chu Yang heard him say that, she found it quite funny and laughed. "Didn't expect you to be so civic-minded."
Seeing her laugh put Chi Yan at ease too. During dinner earlier, seeing she wasn't in high spirits, he had felt sowhat bad thinking maybe he had been too "forceful" making her co eat with them.
Fortunately that wasn't the case.
Chu Yang saw it was getting late. "I'll head back first then."
Chi Yan imdiately said, "Wait, let take you back. It's not safe for a girl out alone this late. I'll find a little sheep to take you."
Chu Yang looked around and didn't see any shared bikes nearby, so she agreed.
Then she followed Chi Yan and walked to the bottom of the male dorm building...to the little grove at the base of the building. There were many couples there, and Chi Yan suddenly felt a bit awkward. But Chu Yang didn't think anything of it, pretty normal in her opinion. Sa as when she was in college in her past life.
Chi Yan quickly rode over on a little sheep. He was wearing a blue helt and also handed Chu Yang a blue one. Chu Yang sat directly behind him, and Chi Yan rode her through B University's streets. He introduced so of B University's sights as they went. "Over there is Qinglong Lake, legend says a blue dragon used to live there...The trees lining the paths here are cherry blossoms. It's really beautiful during cherry blossom season, I'll take you to see it next ti...
Chu Yang made occasional sounds of acknowledgent.
Chi Yan chatted on and on, he didn't even know he could say so much.
Leaving B University, they entered A University. Following Chu Yang's directions, they arrived at her destination. Chi Yan had been to A University no less than 10 tis, and while he wasn't super familiar, he did know so of the famous spots. But he still said, "I don't think I've ever properly toured A University before. Could you show around next ti I co over?"
Considering Chi Yan was helping her out, Chu Yang of course didn't mind doing this little thing for him.
