171: The Flower Protector

[T/N: Flower protector = a man who is protecting or pursuing a woman.]

Chu Yifeng's flight was at eight in the evening, and the two finished dinner at 6:30. Wang Cheng wanted to get him a suitcase, but in a bit, found that Chu Yifeng had few things to bring, and he definitely didn't need to bring his clothes. In addition to some documents, all he needed was a lightweight laptop. He just used a handbag.

Wang Cheng drove him to the airport, and saw him off to the plane before returning to the villa. When there was one person missing, the large house felt more empty. He took out his cell phone and started calling some people.

In the morning, he told Mother Zheng that he was going back to Shanhai City. Although she was reluctant, she also knew why he wanted to go back and didn't stop him.

The next morning after breakfast, Wang Cheng took a bus to Beijing University, his flight back to Shanhai City was at 11:00 and there were three hours left.

Wang Ziyu was very happy to know that he was going to come. The school would not be closed until tomorrow, but she didn’t have many classes today. The last cafeteria incident did not affect her much. Her female classmates were envious of her handsome brother. Someone jokingly asked her to help match them up. Of course, it was a joke. The male classmates were also happy; as long as the goddess had no boyfriend, they had a chance.

If she had to say anything about the effect, it was that Wei Wei never came to pester her again, which made her feel a lot better. Last time he said those things in front of so many people. If he troubled Wang Ziyu again, he would be beating himself in the mouth.

It was Qian Baobao who volunteered to come out and pick up Wang Cheng. Wang Ziyu was not in the dormitory now, and Wang Cheng could not go up without them.

Along the way, Wang Cheng found that the girls they passed always looked at him from time to time, occasionally whispering a few words. Qian Baobao also heard it, so she explained it to him.

Last time Wang Cheng made a big splash in the cafeteria. Although he was not a student at Beijing University, there were a lot of students in the cafeteria that day. Someone secretly took a picture of Wang Cheng with their mobile phone and uploaded it to Weibo. Handsome guys were always popular, but just one photo shouldn't have caused such a sensation.

There was a reason why in half a day of the post being uploaded, it had already had more than 100,000 clicks and tens of thousands of comments. The blogger added a text analysis of nearly three thousand words below the photo, which was exactly about what Wang Cheng was wearing.

People who were more familiar with fashion could generally see that Wang Cheng was wearing brand names from head to toe on that day, especially the coat on his body. Some people said that it was produced by a certain master in the fashion industry. It belonged to a limited number of customized products. There may be fewer than fifty pieces worldwide.

He looked handsome and rich. Who didn’t like such a man? Even if one couldn’t get to know him, it wasn’t bad to solve their greed of good-looking people. Afterwards, more people compared Wang Cheng to the school grass of Beijing University. However, the fans of the school grass were not happy, so this topic had not been fired.

In a word, Wang Cheng was not only famous at Beijing University, but also on the Internet.

As soon as the two arrived in the classroom, Wang Cheng saw his sister surrounded by a group of people, both men and women, talking and laughing.

Seeing him coming, Wang Ziyu walked over after speaking to her classmates. Behind the brother and sister, Qian Baobao came shamelessly. Although she was not related to Wang Ziyu, she happened to have no class this morning. Otherwise it wouldn’t be her turn to pick up Wang Cheng.

"Second brother, if you go back tomorrow, I can go back to Shanhai City with you." Wang Ziyu had missed her parents, she had gone a few months without returning.

Wang Cheng said, "You have only three days off and you can only be home for less than two days. There is still half a month of winter vacation. Don't worry about these few days."

"Got it."

Qian Baobao looked at this brother and sister, and felt more and more that it was good to have such an elder brother. Unlike her elder brother, who was gluttonous and lazy like a pig; he didn't care about his sister at all. “By the way, are you interested in entering the entertainment industry?"

"Not interested." Wang Cheng didn't even need to think about it.

"That's a pity." Qian Baobao thought that Ziyu's second brother was much better than many big stars on TV. If he became a star, he would definitely be a big hit. Maybe he could also call her for her. She was satisfied with being an agent or assistant.

"What's wrong?" Wang Cheng asked. Her expression was too obvious.

Wang Ziyu chuckled, "Second brother, you don't know. You are very popular on the Internet these days. I heard that scouts fancy you and want to dig you into the entertainment industry. There was another self-proclaimed entertainment company who came to the university the day before yesterday to find you. He gave me a business card and said that if you are interested in entering the entertainment industry, you can always contact him."

Then she took out the business card and gave it to him.

Wang Cheng glanced at it. He was not interested in the entertainment industry. When he was young, there was no TV on the mountain. He rarely watched TV. Although he had the ability in his conditions growing up, he was somewhat accustomed to the days without TV, even if he did watch TV. For those who watched the news, there were very few stars in variety shows. His knowledge was all thanks to Tong Yangyang.

Tong Yangyang was obsessed with a big star when he was in high school. He even bought a few big posters and posted them in his bedroom. He would also tell them about some of the big stars. Therefore, Wang Cheng knew that being a star was a very beautiful profession and could make a lot of money. However, the effort was directly proportional, and it seemed that there might be hidden rules encountered at any time. There were in fact many hidden secrets behind the glory.

"Cheng Ge, how about it? Are you really not interested? If you change your mind someday, you must remember me, this little girl is willing to be an errand runner." Qian Baobao said quickly before looking at his expression.

Wang Cheng shook his head with a smile and placed the business card on the table. "What's so good about being a celebrity? I heard that stars have no privacy at all and may be followed by paparazzi at any time. Although the days before them are beautiful, they are too tired to live."

"I knew my second brother would not like it," Wang Ziyu said. She wanted to refuse when the other party gave her the business card. With her knowledge of her second brother, he would never want to be a star. However, the person just gave her the business card then left.

Qian Baobao suddenly clapped her hands, "Did that person invite you too?"

Wang Ziyu had an excellent appearance and already met the main requirements for being popular. Although the last person who came was directed at Wang Cheng, he also promised that Wang Ziyu would be popular if she was willing to take the road of entertainment.

"Forget it, I don't know anything about the entertainment industry. I can't sing or act. It's better to have more practical goals now."

Wang Ziyu had indeed yearned for being a big star on TV before, but now that feeling was gone. As her second brother said, stars had no privacy, and their lives would definitely be disturbed.

The three talked and laughed, time passed quickly, and it was almost ten o'clock in the blink of an eye.

Wang Ziyu and Qian Baobao sent Wang Cheng to the school gate, and watched him leave before returning. When passing by the basketball court, a basketball suddenly flew through the air towards them. Qian Baobao shouted for Wang Ziyu to be careful and pulled her away at the same time. The basketball smashed on the steps and bounced away.

"Which guy with no eyesight is playing basketball?" Qian Baobao shouted at the people on the basketball court.

Wei Wei came over and said in a cold voice, "Qian Baobao, who are you scolding for having no eyesight?"

When Qian Baobao saw that it was that b*tch Wei Wei, she immediately guessed that it must have been deliberate, "Oh, isn’t this the embarrassing Senior Wei from last time? I was asking which guy it was with no eyesight, and you were so anxious to come out to admit it. Now you’re asking who I’m scolding? So funny. Didn’t you think about this before you came out?”

"Baobao." As soon as Wang Ziyu heard it, she quickly grabbed her, knowing of Qian Baobao’s quick temper.

"Do you have the courage to say it again?" Wei Wei’s expression was grim.

Qian Baobao was startled, but then thought that she should persevere, it didn’t matter should she lose. She held her chest. "Do you want me to say it again so I have to say it again? Go to the doctor if you are deaf."

"You think I, Wei Wei, can't move you with your backer, right?”

Wei Wei accumulated his anger, the new hatred and the old hatred together. He had long lost his previous love for Wang Ziyu, and was thinking about how to get his face back. Today he heard that Wang Cheng was leaving the Imperial Capital and felt that now was as good an opportunity as ever.

"Wei Wei, are you still not a man with such a little belly?" Wang Ziyu frowned, pulling Qian Baobao behind her.

[T/N: The full idiom is ‘little belly chicken intestines’ or something like that. It means that someone is narrow-minded, only considering the smaller things and not the overall situation.]

Wei Wei sneered.

"Yo, what are you doing?" A voice suddenly came from the stairs, and the three turned their heads to see a boy standing on the highest step with his hands in his pants pockets. He seemed to wear a cynical smile, and his pair of phoenix eyes looked at them in interest.

As soon as Wei Wei saw him, a flash of jealousy lit in his eyes. However, for the sake of face, he brazenly said, "Lei Yunze, this is my grudge with them, it has nothing to do with you."

"Such a big tone. Your so-called grievance means that you almost smashed two female classmates with a basketball. You don’t even apologize, and then you still talk bad?" Lei Yunze said slowly.

Wei Wei's face suddenly darkened. Lei Yunze's attitude made it clear that he was intervening in their affairs. Although Lei Yunze had no surname Chu and his identity was similar to that of his in the Zheng family, the status of the two greatly differed. The Chu family’s power in the Imperial Capital was greater than that of the Zheng family. Lei Yunze’s parents were both in politics and military, and their positions were not low. Whether with the status of the Chu family or without, they were much stronger than his family. Without his confidence, Wei Wei grunted coldly and turned to leave.

"Ah ..." Qian Baobao grabbed Wang Ziyu's arm and screamed in a low voice. "It's Lei Yunze, it's really him, Ziyu. Do you think I'm dreaming, or did he actually speak up for us?"

Lei Yunze was the school grass of Beijing University. Although he was usually a bit arrogant and condescending, he was the highest school grass that Beijing University supported. Many female students were proud to be able to talk to him.

Wang Ziyu wanted to thank Lei Yunze, but he had gone.
