Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 505: Seeing Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin Again

The new semester had begun, presenting a dazzling array of attractive faces, but Yin Songyue's beauty truly managed to stand out. She had a delicate, fair, melon-seed-shaped face, framed by flowing, beautiful waves of long black hair. Her phoenix eyes curved inward and swept up gracefully at the outer corners, sitting beneath elegant, willow-leaf eyebrows. A straight, delicate nose rested above her bean-paste red lips, and her bright eyes shimmered with a captivating light.September weather brought out the best in girls. Yin Songyue did not need excessive accessories; a simple knit shirt was enough to perfectly outline her slender waist, while highlighting her full, rounded curves pressing against the fabric. She paired it with white denim shorts, displaying a flawless pair of long legs adorned with white stockings.

In this hormone-fueled September, Yin Songyue was the absolute center of attention wherever she went.

In truth, Yin Songyue was an active and energetic girl. However, because people were constantly approaching her with a confession, she had to play the part of a graceful lady. When faced with a suitor, she would simply offer a soft, polite smile, lower her head, and gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. This shy little expression was enough to convince countless boys that she was the perfect, elegant maiden they were meant to pursue.

Naturally, a girl like her had no shortage of people trying to flatter her.

Many felt envy toward Yin Songyue for having so many suitors, yet they also placed her on an impossibly high pedestal, claiming that a girl as stunning as her could barely find a handful of boys in the entire school worthy of her.

"I feel like only Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen could be worthy of her!"

"Yeah, I bet even Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen would find his heart stirred if he saw Songyue."

"Huh, doesn't Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen have a girlfriend?"

"They broke up ages ago!"

The topic of conversation always seemed to circle back to Zhou Yuwen. Since arriving at the university, Yin Songyue had constantly heard his name being dropped by the people around her, which inevitably sparked her curiosity about him.

From the moment she applied for her campus card to the time she was eating in the canteen, an older girl named Qu Jing had managed to strike up a conversation with her, praising her beauty and asking if she wanted to try being a model.

"I'm a manager at Xianlin Cultural Media. If you're interested, feel free to contact me."

"Don't worry, I'm a student at this school too. This company was founded by Zhou Yuwen, so it's not a scam. You've heard of Zhou Yuwen, right?"

After that, the name Zhou Yuwen became increasingly familiar to Yin Songyue. She was genuinely surprised to learn that a mere sophomore could hold so many impressive titles.

Just what kind of boy was he?

It was on this very day, during the student club recruitment drive, that Yin Songyue finally met Zhou Yuwen.

The whole situation started the moment Yin Songyue arrived. The already bustling student club recruitment area suddenly boiled over with excitement simply because someone shouted that Yin Songyue was here.

Everyone immediately craned their necks to look, watching Yin Songyue make an entrance like a main character. No matter where she went, she was relentlessly courted by countless departments.

For example, a rather overly-enthusiastic minister from the Organization Department eagerly pitched to her, "Junior Female Student Songyue, join our Organization Department! We desperately need an excellent talent like you!"

Then there was Li Qiang from the External Liaison Department. "Hey there! Junior Female Student, are you interested in joining our External Liaison Department? We're in charge of organizing off-campus part-time jobs. Do you want to try making money?"

Seeing a beautiful girl, Li Qiang immediately leaned in, grinning from ear to ear. Yin Songyue awkwardly rejected him, politely thanking him but stating she had no intention of joining the External Liaison Department at the moment.

However, Li Qiang refused to give up. "Junior Female Student, even if you don't join, we can still add each other on WeChat!"

"I'm the minister of the External Liaison Department. If you run into any trouble at the school in the future, you can always come to me!"

Hearing this, Yin Songyue found his aggressive hospitality hard to turn down. She didn't really want to add Li Qiang, but since he was a minister, she felt it would be inappropriate to completely reject him.

Just then, someone nearby exposed him. "Hey, Li Qiang, don't you already have a girlfriend? Why are you still trying to add our Junior Female Student Songyue!"

"Eeeeh~"

After hearing that, the rest of the crowd immediately started jeering.

Li Qiang's face instantly flushed red as he defensively retorted, "So what if I have a girlfriend?!"

"I don't have any ulterior motives toward Junior Female Student Songyue! I'm just enthusiastically offering my help!"

As soon as Li Qiang said this, the crowd's teasing only grew louder.

Yin Songyue simply smiled at the exchange. Regardless of his intentions, she now had a perfectly valid excuse to reject his request.

After tactfully turning down Li Qiang, Yin Songyue continued browsing the recruitment brochures of the other departments. Shen Yu, acting as the vice president of the Student Union, had also heard of Yin Songyue's reputation and approached to ask if she planned on joining the Student Union.

Yin Songyue explained that the place she actually wanted to join the most was the Arts Department, given her background in studying dance.

Therefore, she made her way over to the Arts Department booth and politely asked, "Hello, is this where I sign up for the Arts Department?"

At that moment, Zheng Yanyan was eyeing Yin Songyue with a rather unfriendly gaze. She had just faintly overheard someone in the crowd claim that Yin Songyue was prettier than her!?

What nonsense were they spouting? In what universe was she prettier?!

Just look at the way she stuck out her buttocks. Anyone could tell she wasn't some simple, innocent girl.

Hmph!

Zheng Yanyan furrowed her brows.

Yin Songyue felt a bit confused. "Hello, excuse me..."

"The application form is right here."

Before Zheng Yanyan could even speak, Lu Lin had already handed over the application form, introducing herself as the vice minister of the Arts Department and mentioning that she had heard of Yin Songyue.

"Welcome to the Arts Department."

"Hello, Senior Sister Lu Lin!"

Yin Songyue was incredibly polite. Hearing herself addressed as 'Senior Sister,' Lu Lin felt a subtle shift in her heart. Before she knew it, she had already become a senior sister.

She guided Yin Songyue to the side to fill out the form.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yanyan stood nearby, closely scrutinizing her.

Yin Songyue's figure was nearly flawless. Her exposed pair of long legs, clad in white socks and white shoes, looked absolutely perfect.

Especially the way she looked when she leaned over to fill out the form—it was naturally beyond words.

Truth be told, Zheng Yanyan was entirely filled with envy.

That was until Zhou Yuwen appeared beside her and asked curiously, "What are you staring at?"

Turning her head, Zheng Yanyan suddenly spotted Zhou Yuwen. Overcome with joy for a moment, she quickly threw herself at him, exclaiming in surprise, "Hubby, you're back!?"

Zhou Yuwen hurriedly made a shushing gesture.

'What are you yelling for in front of all these people?'

Sure enough, some people were already glancing in their direction.

Zhou Yuwen covered Zheng Yanyan's small mouth, signaling her not to shout recklessly. After all, he was somewhat of a celebrity around here.

Zheng Yanyan nodded in understanding. In reality, the celebrity effect in a regular crowd wasn't actually that overwhelming. If someone saw a person who looked a lot like a star, but no one around them seemed surprised, they would at most take a second glance rather than run up screaming and shouting.

Zhou Yuwen's situation was exactly like that. As he walked past, some people might find it curious and think, 'Huh, this boy is so handsome.'

But they wouldn't immediately associate him with the famous Zhou Yuwen, especially since the majority of the crowd were freshman students.

Once Zheng Yanyan had calmed down, she couldn't help but playfully hit Zhou Yuwen with a small fist, angrily asking when he had gotten back and complaining that he hadn't even told her.

Zhou Yuwen explained that he had just returned.

'I came to find you the very first second I got back.'

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience left! I'll go tell Linlin; she'll definitely be thrilled!" Saying that, Zheng Yanyan quickly trotted off to find Lu Lin.

There were quite a lot of girls who wanted to join the Arts Department. Someone like Zheng Yanyan might officially be the minister on paper, but she was incredibly lazy and reluctant to do any actual work, leaving the vast majority of tasks to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin, on the other hand, was the type who might not look busy at first glance, but could execute any task given to her with flawless efficiency and organization.

Right as Zheng Yanyan was pulling Lu Lin over, Yin Songyue finished filling out her application form. She looked up, only to find that the person in charge was gone, leaving her face full of confusion.

Seeing her looking around as if searching for someone, Zhou Yuwen asked, "Are you a freshman here to join the Arts Department?"

Yin Songyue turned, saw Zhou Yuwen, and nodded in confirmation.

"Excuse me, where did Senior Sister Lu Lin go?"

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Oh, isn't she busy right over there?"

"Just hand the application form to me, it's all the same." Zhou Yuwen reached out to take it. As if possessed, Yin Songyue handed it directly to him. The main reason was that Zhou Yuwen's demeanor felt entirely too natural, completely unlike all the other boys who reacted upon seeing her.

While she was still hesitating, Zheng Yanyan dragged Lu Lin back over.

She declared that since it was so rare for Zhou Yuwen to return, he absolutely had to treat them to a big meal tonight!

Zhou Yuwen replied that it was naturally the right thing to do.

Noticing that Yin Songyue hadn't left yet, Zhou Yuwen casually passed the application form over to Lu Lin, saying it was the kid's paperwork.

Lu Lin took it and informed Yin Songyue standing beside her, "You're already an official member of the Arts Department now. But don't tell anyone else for the time being; we still have to go through another round of screening."

"Oh, okay. Thank you, Senior Male Student. Thank you, Senior Sister."

Yin Songyue was exceptionally polite.

Zheng Yanyan burst into a giggle and teased Zhou Yuwen, "Look at that, now people are even calling you 'Senior Male Student'."

Zhou Yuwen rolled his eyes and fired back, "And someone like you can actually be a 'Senior Sister'?"

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Am I not worthy?" Zheng Yanyan immediately protested, refusing to back down.

Zhou Yuwen challenged, "Are you?"

Just like that, the two began bickering playfully.

Although Yin Songyue didn't quite understand their dynamic, she could tell they had a very close relationship.

In truth, Yin Songyue was rather curious about Zhou Yuwen's identity.

After all, Zheng Yanyan was the minister of the Arts Department and widely acknowledged as a massive beauty across the school. Since the Senior Male Student standing before her was so close to Senior Sister Zheng Yanyan, just who exactly was he?

However, before she could figure it out, Lu Lin told her that she was free to leave.

Helpless, Yin Songyue had no choice but to head out first.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yuwen's appearance had left a deep impression on her. It wasn't until she returned to her dormitory that she heard her roommates discussing the day's student club recruitment, mentioning that someone had supposedly spotted Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen.

"That's impossible, right? Is that true? How would Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen even have the time to come here?"

"Exactly! The guy is a multi-millionaire, he's incredibly busy every single day!"

"But someone really did see him."

Only then did Yin Songyue finally connect the dots, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "I... I think I actually spoke to Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen."

Her statement instantly drew everyone's attention.

"You did what!?"

So Yin Songyue recounted everything that had happened that day.

Her roommates firmly concluded that it was definitely Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen without a shadow of a doubt!

"That makes sense! Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen used to date Senior Sister Yan Yan!"

"They actually dated?"

Yin Songyue looked thoroughly surprised.

At that moment, the dormitory's resident know-it-all immediately switched into gossip mode, explaining that Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen's romantic history was insanely rich.

He had plenty of ex-girlfriends.

And all of them were recognized as a school beauty or a class beauty!

As the others crowded around the know-it-all to listen to the gossip, Yin Songyue found herself disinterested. Yet, recalling the brief exchange she had with Zhou Yuwen earlier, she suddenly felt a faint sense of loss, regretting that her reaction had been a little too plain.

Of course, these were merely the thoughts of Yin Songyue, a naive kid who had just entered university.

Zhou Yuwen certainly wouldn't be overthinking things like that.

That evening, he took Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin out for hotpot, before returning to his big flat to catch up on old times.

Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin weren't as open-minded as someone like Tao Tian. They were slightly more inexperienced, which offered a fresh sense of novelty. At first, it was the three of them together.

Lu Lin looked as though she was lacking interest, while Zheng Yanyan was incredibly active, playing with Zhou Yuwen until she was dripping with fragrant sweat, and eventually falling soundly asleep afterwards.

Zhou Yuwen thought the night was over, so he closed his eyes to rest.

Right at that moment, he felt someone press down on top of him.

Opening his eyes, he was surprised to see Lu Lin taking the initiative to lean in and kiss him.

'Good heavens, so Lu Lin loves playing this sort of game, huh.'

Zheng Yanyan was still soundly asleep right in his arms, yet she had boldly initiated the kiss.

Therefore, Zhou Yuwen responded in kind.

The two moved all the way from the bedroom into the living room.

And then, behind Zheng Yanyan's back, they continued on the sofa.

Lu Lin sat squarely on top of him.

And then it just happened...

The three of them could essentially be considered an old couple, so there wasn't much that needed to be said. The luxury goods he had brought them were already worth over a hundred thousand, and not wanting to show favoritism, he asked, "The company has been ordering a few new cars lately. Take a look and see if there are any models you like; I'll buy a new car for each of you."

Zheng Yanyan was thrilled upon hearing this, excitedly asking, "Hubby, did you really earn three billion US dollars?!"

Zhou Yuwen asked her who she heard that from.

In her excitement, Zheng Yanyan pressed, "Don't worry about who I heard it from, just tell me if it's true or not!"

"The three billion part is true, but unfortunately, it's not in US dollars."

"Ah~"

Zheng Yanyan appeared visibly disappointed. That was just how she was, and Zhou Yuwen was already used to it. He patted her and reasoned, "Whether it's in US dollars or not, it makes absolutely no difference to you anyway!"

That was just the nature of university life. Aside from the brief novelty experienced as a freshman, the rest of the time truly flew by in a blur.

This was especially true for someone like Zhou Yuwen, who was already in a semi-working state. Returning to Jinling meant facing a mountain of tasks. The Shared Bicycle Project was advancing at breakneck speed, rapidly dominating the entire Jinling market and beginning its outward expansion.

Initially, Zhou Yuwen hadn't planned on making money directly off the Shared Bicycle Project. But considering he had already established a private equity fund, and his original intention to pull Liu Dongqiang and the others in hadn't panned out since they declined to join.

He figured he might as well funnel the user deposits from the Shared Bicycle Project straight into the fund. This maneuver would ensure Zhou Yuwen's capital pool remained incredibly robust.

Having stabilized the Shared Bicycle Project, Zhou Yuwen turned his sights toward the short video sector. Capitalizing on the back-to-school season, he partnered with official mobile carriers to aggressively promote his Campus Fun App.

With endless tasks to handle every single day, time slipped away without him noticing, and soon it was the end of September.

The freshman military training came to an end, culminating in a final wrap-up assembly.

Zhou Yuwen stepped up to deliver a speech as the representative Senior Male Student for the class of 2013.

There had never been such a segment in the program before.

But it was specially added just because Zhou Yuwen existed.

A densely packed sea of people filled the area below, all dressed in their military training uniforms.

In stark contrast, Zhou Yuwen walked onto the stage dressed sharply in a suit. The moment he appeared, the crowd below erupted in a massive uproar.

"Look quickly, that's Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen!"

"He is so handsome!"

"Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen, look over here!"

At that exact moment, Yin Songyue finally confirmed without a doubt that the person she had spoken to earlier was none other than Senior Male Student Zhou Yuwen!
