Chapter 58

"My goodness! How scary!"

"I was at the scene, I was almost scared to tears! There was so much blood! I don't know if everyone is safe!"

"So why did he have to go to such extremes?"

"Didn't they say it was because she rejected his love? I don't know what he was thinking, love really isn't that important, and they're so young."

"There must have been something wrong with the guy's personality to begin with. I heard that the girl broke up with him, Chi Yan didn't want to break up, he tried everything like kneeling to get her to stay, but the girl was firm about the breakup, and in the end..."

"The wise stay away from love and devote themselves to the country!"

"Am I the only one who noticed how good-looking the other guy was later on? Ah ah ah ah! He was so decisive and efficient! Wah wah, he saved the beauty! If it were me I'd marry him!"

"...?? Marry him? One look and you can tell he's the campus heartthrob, and he has a girlfriend already. Even if you offered yourself to him he wouldn't want you."

"Oh... *disappointed*"

"He really is so handsome! At first no one dared to go over, it was Chi Yan who went over to knock the knife out of that guy's hand before everyone else jumped on him. And the girls who went to stop the bleeding, they were all so brave."

"I suggest the school gives them a medal for bravery! *applause*"

"That guy looked like he was about to stab her again, if not for Chi Yan I'm afraid she wouldn't have made it until the ambulance arrived."

"I heard Chi Yan was just about to go to the library with his girlfriend when this happened."

...

Because of this incident, Chu Yang and Chi Yan were both too shaken to study at the library. Chu Yang got blood on her hands that took a long time to wash off in the bathroom.

Chi Yan had only drank half his milk tea before he threw the rest away. He kept muttering what a waste.

Chu Yang: "...I'll buy you another one tomorrow."

Chi Yan smiled at last, "But don't you have classes all day tomorrow?"

Chu Yang: "I'll get you one next time I come over then."

"Okay." Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

"Man I wish I had a girlfriend to play ball with too."

One of them joked, "You losers can only look on enviously while others enjoy themselves."

"Hey he looks kind of familiar doesn't he?"

"Of course he's familiar, that's Chi Yan! Your Chi Yan bro, power forward of the basketball team, killer player."

"Oh right, let's ask Yan bro to play with us!"

"You go ask then, don't you see he's with his girl?"

"Yeah just leave them be. Alright break's over guys, let's get back to it!"

...After an hour of playing ball together and some breaks in between, Chu Yang said she wanted to head back early. So after eating, Chi Yan sent her back to campus.

Since they had agreed to go out to a movie on Saturday night and Chu Yang had to tutor in the afternoon, Chi Yan returned to the small district near his family house to wait. Once Chu Yang finished with tutoring, they would meet in the city center directly.

Chi Yan drove while Chu Yang went to buy tickets on one side when they arrived at the theater. Chi Yan queued on the other side for drinks and popcorn.

Somewhere in the middle, another girl asked Chi Yan for his WeChat. He turned her down, but Chu Yang got asked by someone else at the same time over on her side. Before she could decline, Chi Yan appeared and said, "Sorry, my girlfriend's taken." He came over to Chu Yang's side and handed her a soda.

Seeing Chi Yan, the hopeful guy immediately left to commiserate with his own friends instead. They witnessed the whole exchange and could only pat his shoulder in consolation.

After about ten minutes the movie was starting, so they lined up to enter the theater. Chu Yang vaguely heard the couple behind them commenting, "What a matching pair in front, the girl and guy are both so good-looking."

The screening wasn't sold out but it also wasn't empty. No one sat next to Chu Yang though. They grabbed seats in the back row.

The movie soon began playing. While Chu Yang watched attentively, Chi Yan was not as focused. Next to them was another couple. At first nothing was happening, but soon they started kissing and murmuring sweet nothings audibly.

Awkward... Chi Yan glanced at Chu Yang. She seemed oblivious, sitting there nonchalantly.

Chi Yan reached over to take her hand. Chu Yang turned to look at him questioningly. "Wha..." Then she noticed the amorous couple next to them. Wow, no shame...

Chu Yang's first reaction was to cover Chi Yan's eyes with her other hand...

Chi Yan: ???

After a beat Chu Yang said "Sorry..." She scooted over so Chi Yan could take her seat. She straightened his head to face the screen. "Watch the movie properly."

Chi Yan: "Oh."
