Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Yangyang never knew that Gu Qichen could cook.
A man like him should maintain his hands unsullied as spring water, shouldn’t he?
But one cannot deny that he looks quite handsome while cooking. Every move he makes is like a work of art.
Gu Qichen had turned around and saw Xia Yangyang, he asked, “Are you going to school?”
Xia Yangyang mechanically nodded in response.
Gu Qichen spoke gently, “I’ve already made breakfast. Eat before you leave.”
Recalling the events of last night, Xia Yangyang felt aching misery.
She sat down at the table and began eating breakfast.
The breakfast was hearty, the chicken porridge that Gu Qichen cooked tasted delicious. It was simply first-rate.
However, all Xia Yangyang wanted to do at the moment was to escape from this place.
So, she ate hurriedly, her tongue even blistered from the hot food.
By the time Gu Qichen sat down, Xia Yangyang had already finished her bowl. She placed her chopsticks down and said, “I need to go to school now. I cannot be late for the opening ceremony.”
Gu Qichen noticed something amiss; with a slight crease in his brows, he asked, “Yangyang, do you remember anything from last night?”
Xia Yangyang feigned surprise, “What happened last night? I don’t remember anything.”
Gu Qichen’s eyes shifted, “Do you need me to drop you at school?”
“No, no need. It’s not a far distance, I can walk.”
After saying so, Xia Yangyang grabbed her bag and left the dining room as if escaping.
She clearly remembered everything from last night. But it was too embarrassing, she didn’t want to think about it anymore.
The opening ceremony ended quickly.
Xia Yangyang officially started her sophomore year, second semester.
In the afternoon, Xia Yangyang was notified of a Journalism Club meeting at three.
She was studying Journalism and Communications, and A University was one of the top Journalism Schools in the country.
The journalism club is one of the top four clubs in the school.
During the meeting, Xia Yangyang bumped into Gong Xue’er.
In a moment of forgetfulness, she remembered that Gong Xue’er was the Deputy Head of the Journalism Club.
This was the position Xia Yangyang had resigned from and had let Gong Xue’er take over.
During the routine meeting by the club leader, Xu Li, Xia Yangyang was distracted. She still vaguely heard the talk of a new column “Influential Figures”. They were currently selecting the interviewee for the first issue and was open to suggestions.
Various suggestions were thrown out, some suggested interviewing Gu Zhaohan, the Medicine Department’s most popular student. Some suggested interviewing hacker Feng Jiajie from e-commerce, and others proposed Lu Yao, the great beauty from the Art College who already had some fame in the entertainment industry.
While everyone was in heated discussion, Xu Li asked Gong Xue’er, “Xue’er, do you have any ideas?”
Gong Xue’er suggested, “Since the club leader wants to get this publication going, the first issue’s interviewee should be someone of significant weight. We should broaden our horizons beyond the campus. I suggest that our first guest should be Gu Qichen, the youngest president of Shengyuan Group.”
After Gong Xue’er’s suggestion, there was a deafening silence in the classroom.
Gu Qichen? He is an unreachable, high-profile figure. According to rumors, he had never given any media interviews.
Even Xu Li felt that Gong Xue’er’s idea was unrealistic.
Xu Li said, “This suggestion is not practical. Although Gu Qichen ranks as one of the leading figures in Feng City and suits our magazine’s theme, he’s too aloof and cold. The major media can’t even interview him, let alone us, a campus media.”
Gong Xue’er replied, “Because of this, we must at least try. What if we succeed? If we can get an exclusive interview with Gu Qichen, our club will certainly be the top among the four. In the future, we won’t have to set up appointments; big shots will actively approach us.”
Another club member chimed in, “You make it sound simple, but how could Gu Qichen possibly agree to our interview?”
Gong Xue’er’s gaze shifted, she said, “I think we should entrust this task to Xia Yangyang..”
