Chapter 569 Extra Chapter—He's getting anxious.
As Lu Nange walked along the tree-lined path on campus, she could clearly feel the constant gazes and faint whispers from all around her.
[As expected, I knew it would happen!] She sighed, her toes curling unconsciously.
[Nan Nan, isn't this great? So glamorous! You'll be the center of attention on the very first day of school!]
[No, I just feel like my toes are about to dig out a whole villa!] Lu Nange thought to herself helplessly.
[But, Hey, aren't you supposed to be busy? Aren't you supposed to be maintaining the balance of this world? Why does it feel like you've been slacking off around me ever since you came back?]
[Nan Nan, I'm working hard right now!]
You, and the people around you—Aye, Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, Gu Qi, and the others—are all chosen ones in this world.
As long as you 'chosen ones' remain steady and don't cause any trouble, the basic framework of this world will be stable.
Therefore, my most efficient way of working is to stay by your side and make sure everything goes smoothly for you!
So, am I smart? ...Nan Nan, you're not saying you're disgusted with me, are you?
Noticing a hint of feigned grievance in the voice, Lu Nange quickly tried to comfort her.
[How could I possibly look down on you! I'm just worried about interfering with your work.]
[No problem! Working with you is the most legitimate job!]
With Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici around, Lu Nange's registration process was incredibly fast, with no obstacles in sight.
In addition, Chi Yanzhou and his group were too eye-catching, and in less than half a day...
"A mysterious new student who was escorted to school by a group of outstanding talents, including Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici."
This topic exploded like a volcanic eruption, taking the top spot on the campus anonymous forum's hottest posts list, followed by a bright red "Explosive" sign.
The candid photos in the post were taken from different angles, but the girl in the center of the picture had delicate profile lines and clear, bright eyes.
Even in a slightly blurry snapshot, that unique, serene quality is palpable.
The powerful presence of those "backdrops" standing casually behind or beside her amplifies the impact of the scene to its peak.
The discussion quickly spread from the initial question, "Who exactly is she?", with all sorts of speculations flying around, becoming increasingly mysterious.
Until someone uploaded a few clear front-facing photos.
In the photo, Lu Nange is slightly tilting her head and talking to Gu Wan beside her. The sunlight shines just on her face, highlighting her fair complexion and vivid features.
The title of the new "Campus Belle of Peking University" was bestowed upon her almost without controversy on the very first day of her enrollment.
Meanwhile, some comments quietly appeared in the forum's comment section.
These messages were not overly dramatic; they were simply written in a calm tone, even with a hint of reminder.
This confirms Lu Nange's extraordinary background and subtly conveys the message that "this person is not to be trifled with; it's best to keep your distance."
These scattered comments from insiders like the "Cheng family" have quietly branded Lu Nange's name as "the most untouchable person at Peking University" amidst the curious gazes and vague apprehension of countless freshmen.
...
Just when everyone thought that Chi Yanzhou's protection would flow gently through Lu Nange's entire university life, and even longer...
In Lu Nange's second year of university, not long after the start of the semester, Chi Yanzhou personally broke through that thin veil between them.
Lu Nange passed her freshman year without incident.
The sensational effect of the enrollment registration, coupled with Chi Yanzhou's almost unwavering commitment to personally pick up and drop off students regardless of the weather, had already created an invisible barrier at Peking University.
Even though she was known as the "school beauty" and had outstanding looks and temperament, no one dared to approach this mysterious "little princess" easily.
Lu Nange was happy to have some peace and quiet and was enjoying her campus life to the fullest.
Unfortunately, shortly after the start of his sophomore year, Chi Yanzhou had an important international project that required him to travel abroad on business.
With his departure, some dormant, or perhaps arrogant, thoughts quietly surfaced.
Especially among freshmen who have just entered the school and are full of youthful vigor despite only having a vague understanding of the rumors, there are quite a few who are bursting with confidence.
They embarked on what they considered to be a "romantic" or "persistent" pursuit of Lu Nange.
Chi Yanzhou was busy overseas day and night, working non-stop for more than a month, and finally finalized the project.
As soon as the plane landed back home, he turned on his phone.
He had quite a few unread messages and missed calls, but when he swiped his finger, the first thing he opened was the chat window that was pinned to the top.
He glanced at the time on his wrist and sent a message.
At that time, Lu Nange was celebrating her roommate's birthday with her roommates in a private room at "Yehe" KTV.
The fruit platter on the table was empty, several cans of wine were gone, and the atmosphere was lively.
The phone screen suddenly lit up in the dimly lit private room. She picked it up and saw that it was Chi Yanzhou.
She picked up her phone and tapped her finger to reply: [Yan-ge, you're back?]
The reply came almost instantly: [Yes. Where are you?]
My roommates and I are singing at Yehe.
I'll come pick you up.
[You just got back, you must be tired. Go home and rest early. I'll have my brother pick me up in a bit.]
[Your brother is busy. I'll pick you up. I brought you a gift.]
[Well... thank you, Brother Yan. Let me know when you're almost there, I'll come down early.]
[Okay, we'll be there in about half an hour.]
Chi Yanzhou put his phone away and said to Chi Yi in the driver's seat, "Brother Chi Yi, let's go to Yehe."
Chi Yi glanced at his young master in the rearview mirror: "Where's Nan Nan?"
"Hmm." Chi Yanzhou responded, his gaze fixed on the neon lights flashing past the window, his profile appearing somewhat cold and stern in the flickering light.
The car executed a smooth drift and came to a stop under the bizarre neon sign of "Yehe".
The moment Chi Yanzhou opened the car door, a cacophony of music and faint cheers erupted from inside.
He frowned almost imperceptibly, took a long stride, and walked straight inside.
Chi Yi quickly turned off the engine and followed, glancing at the bustling crowd: "Young Master, what's all this noise at the door... could it be someone confessing their love?"
The person in question is... Nan Nan? I need to record this and send it to the group chat.
"Don't learn from He Zhuo!" Chi Yanzhou interrupted him.
Before he could finish speaking, Chi Yi felt a gust of wind sweep past him, and his young master's pace suddenly quickened, almost with an imposing aura.
Pushing aside the crowd watching at the entrance, I walked towards the center, which was completely surrounded.
Chi Yi: "He's getting anxious!"
The crowd formed a semicircle.
Chi Yanzhou had a clear height advantage, and his gaze swept over the throng of people to catch sight of Lu Nange, who was surrounded in the middle.
She wore a silver dress today, her soft black hair cascading over her shoulders, and her cheeks were flushed with a light blush, like a natural layer of rouge.
Her eyes were clear, but the corners of them were slightly misty from the alcohol, adding a touch of languid charm rarely seen on her.
In front of her, a boy holding a guitar was playing and singing passionately, his eyes burning with fervor.
Chi Yanzhou's eyes darkened instantly.
