Chapter 220: Relying on Men
Chapter 220
They quickly arrived at the dormitory building. The three of them got out of the car.
"That was so fast!"
"Haha! I'm going to strike a pose by the car. Take a photo of me. Let's take turns!"
"No problem."
...Before long, a group of girls had gathered around Chu Yang's car at the entrance of the female dormitory, taking photos and laughing joyfully.
After playing for a while, it was getting late. "Alright, alright, Chu Yang needs to leave now. We shouldn't keep her from having dinner."
"Chu Yang, if you have things to do, you can go ahead. We're done taking photos."
Chu Yang stood to the side, sipping a bubble tea that a classmate had bought extra and given to her. "It's fine, I'm not in a hurry."
"No, no, we've had enough fun. You can drive off now."
Chu Yang didn't say anything more. "Alright then, I'm off. Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye!"
Up in the dormitory, Yang Qingyue saw Chu Yang chatting happily with everyone and rolled her eyes. "So affected!"
When Yang Qingyue returned to her room, she was surprised to find her roommates also talking about Chu Yang's car.
"Look, I just took a photo with that luxury car. Don't I look like a socialite?"
"It would've been even better with sunglasses."
"Haha, that pink Maserati is really beautiful, but we can't afford it."
"We'll work hard and earn money in the future! We'll definitely be able to buy one someday."
"Chu Yang is so nice. I asked if I could sit in the car, and she nodded gently and said yes."
Hearing this, Yang Qingyue snorted, "Don't you all know that Chu Yang got that car from a man?"
Her roommates looked at each other, confused. Zhou Ying turned to her and asked, "Why are you so sour about it?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with her boyfriend buying her a car? I wish I had a boyfriend like that, but alas, I don't," Su Wenwen sighed, cupping her face in her hands.
Yang Qingyue retorted, "Why do you all just assume it's from a man?"
Su Wenwen had had enough. She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know what you're so bitter about. Am I relying on a man? If she can rely on a man, that's her ability. Besides, Chu Yang is top of her major! Top! What place are you? Not to mention she's won several big awards for the academy. What do you mean by relying on a man? That's her boyfriend's willing choice. Are you jealous of Chu Yang? You look so upset! What, are you envious that Chu Yang has such a good boyfriend?"
Yang Qingyue grew even angrier. "Jealous? Who's jealous? What's there to be jealous of some smelly man for?" Personal strength is true strength, she thought.
As Su Wenwen was about to say more, Jiang Xin next to her tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking. She then pointed at her phone, indicating she'd type a message for her to read.
"Her father had an affair before, and her mother divorced him and raised her alone. She's always emphasized not relying on men, saying men are useless. Under this influence, she's developed that kind of mindset. Don't bother with her. My family lives near hers, and I often hear her mother scolding her, forbidding her from dating. Her mother is super controlling."
After reading this, Su Wenwen snorted and said nothing more. She didn't want to argue with someone whose thoughts were so rigid.
Meanwhile, Chu Yang quickly returned to her residential complex. The housekeeper had already prepared dinner, but Chi Yan was still at the company and hadn't returned.
After eating, Chu Yang rested for a while before heading back to school. This time, she didn't drive but took the bus instead.
In the evening, Chu Yang had finished dinner and was about to sleep, but Chi Yan still hadn't returned. He had only informed her around 6 PM that he would be working late tonight. However, Chu Yang didn't expect him to return as late as after midnight.
When Chi Yan finished washing up and quietly got into bed, hugging Chu Yang, she woke up slightly, still groggy. "You're back?"
Chi Yan's heart melted. He kissed her gently. "Mm-hmm, go back to sleep."
"Okay."
For the next few days, Chi Yan kept coming back very late, and Chu Yang got used to it. After all, she went to school during the day, and in the evening, she would return home to do homework and read until it was time to sleep.
One day, just as she finished class and was walking out of the Literature Academy, she saw Chi Yan standing by his car.
Chu Yang ran over with a smile. "Why are you here?"
Chi Yan stroked her head and led her to the car. "I'm here to pick you up. I've been busy lately and haven't been able to spend time with you properly. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. You've been working hard."
They quickly drove away. Yang Qingyue saw this too. She heard the girls around her expressing envy for Chu Yang and snorted. What's there to envy about a woman who relies on men? she thought.
Actually, Yang Qingyue had known about Chu Yang since their freshman year, as she was the top student in their major. Yang Qingyue admired excellent female students, and people said Chu Yang had a good personality, so she had wanted to be friends with her.
But unexpectedly, Chu Yang got a boyfriend later!
Yang Qingyue was very angry. She felt that Chu Yang shouldn't have a boyfriend. Smelly men only hinder women from shining! She thought they would break up soon, but now they were juniors and still together.
Yang Qingyue felt that Chu Yang was no longer an excellent girl. An excellent girl shouldn't rely on men!
If Chu Yang knew about this, she would definitely be speechless. A person's excellence and whether they have a boyfriend are two completely different things, right?
Chi Yan took Chu Yang out for dinner and then to an amusement park. They played until 10 PM before heading home.
At night, as they lay in bed chatting, Chi Yan said, "The renovation at Imperial Prosperity is almost done. Do you want to go take a look? We should be able to move in during the summer break."
Chu Yang calculated the time. "Should we move the things from here?"
"Just bring some clothes and whatever else you want to take. They have all the furniture and everything there. I had a large bookshelf made. During the summer break, we'll go and bring back the things Sophia left for you."
"Sounds good."
"I'm going to the university tomorrow too. I'll drop you off at the Literature Academy first, then head to B University. I'll come back to have lunch with you at noon."
Chu Yang looked at him in pleasant surprise. "You're not going to the company?" To be honest, she had almost forgotten that Chi Yan was also a junior in college.
Chi Yan caressed her cheek. "Mm, there's something at school, and there's nothing urgent at the company recently. Wei Feng and the others invited me to play basketball. It's been a while since I played. I remember your class ends at 3 PM. Would you like to come watch me play after school?"
"Sure!"
They continued chatting softly for a while until the room fell silent, filled only with the sound of their sleeping breaths.
The next day, as soon as school let out in the afternoon, Chu Yang went straight to B University. Chi Yan had sent her the location earlier—they were in B University's gymnasium.
Upon arrival, Chu Yang sat directly in the seats along the sidelines to watch. Although it had been a long time since he had played basketball, Chi Yan's skills were still as impressive as ever. In just about fifteen minutes, she saw him sink several shots, including two three-pointers.
Wei Feng suddenly noticed Chu Yang on the sidelines and immediately signaled to Chi Yan with his eyes, "Yan, the boss is already over there."
Chi Yan looked over right away, tossed the ball aside, and said, "You guys keep playing, I'm going over there for a bit."
Chu Yang watched as Chi Yan walked over, and handed him a bottle of water.
