Chapter 519: The Strong-willed Bai Yue, Office Building Renovation

“Yueyue! It’s a date, then! We’ll all get together in Rongcheng in October!” Qi Fei said with a smile, walking up to the tent and taking Bai Yue’s hand intimately.

“Okay! We should chat more when we have time! That Ah Yun! When he gets busy, you can’t even find a trace of him!” A smile graced Bai Yue’s face, causing a younger male student registering at the tent to stare blankly.

“Excuse me! Sir! Your ID card!” The older female student handling his registration had to shout several times to snap him out of his daze.

“Okay! Anyway, we just started a three-person group chat! We can just start a video call whenever we want to chat! If I’m filming, then we can only talk at night!”

Qi Fei glanced at the new arrivals waiting to register and said with a smile, “Alright, I won’t keep you then! Once you’re free tonight, I’ll pick a place and we can catch up properly!”

Bai Yue shook her head. “Feifei! Why don’t we just eat at the house Ah Yun bought tonight? I’ll ask the auntie to make a few extra dishes!”

“Deal! It’s a plan!”

…

After Qi Fei had walked some distance away, Bai Yue finally sat down inside the tent and started fanning herself again.

While helping a younger female student with her registration, Lei Lei asked gossipily, “Yueyue! What’s their story?”

Bai Yue’s expression flickered for a moment, but she quickly composed herself. “Her? That’s Qi Fei! You’ve probably heard of her!”

“Qi Fei!?” Lei Lei looked puzzled. “Why does that name sound so familiar?”

At that moment, the waiting freshman girl spoke up with a smile. “Senior, have you not seen Disguiser!?”

“The actress who plays Yu Manli is named Qi Fei!”

As she spoke, the freshman girl exclaimed, “Ah! I knew it! I thought that beautiful woman looked familiar! It really was her!”

Bai Yue nodded without saying anything.

“Wow! Just now, I asked the older girl next to me, and she said Qi Fei is still a third-year at the Modu Drama Academy!”

“Sigh, to think we’re all in college, but she’s already on her way to becoming a household name in the country!”

The freshman said excitedly, “Senior! I can’t believe you know Qi Fei! Could you get her autograph for me? I’m a huge fan! I think her action scenes are amazing! I’m into martial arts, too!”

Bai Yue just replied softly, “Alright. I’ll ask for one for you when I see her tonight.”

The freshman girl was thrilled and took the opportunity to add Bai Yue on WeChat.

After the freshman left for the next registration station, Lei Lei finally turned and said, “Yueyue! I feel like something’s off with you! Did something happen between you two!?”

Bai Yue shook her head and said in a heavy voice, “Leilei! I want to change my major!”

Lei Lei was shocked and asked hurriedly, “Yueyue! Why would you even think that? Don’t do anything rash! Didn’t we agree we’d become teachers together!?”

Bai Yue just fanned herself a few times, then leaned back dispiritedly before sitting up straight again. “Plans can’t keep up with changes! Leilei, you know Ah Yun’s business is getting bigger and bigger! I want to study something in corporate management. Maybe then I’ll be able to help him in the future!”

But there was something else Bai Yue didn’t say. She didn’t want to be left behind. Even Wen Meng, a dance major, was ambitious enough to aim for a graduate degree in finance and management. Why shouldn’t she start learning it at the undergraduate level!

Lei Lei grew anxious. She glanced around, and then something suddenly occurred to her. “Yueyue! I just remembered! You can choose a second major! It’ll just be more tiring, and you’ll have to learn a lot more!”

“If you choose a second major, you’ll barely have any free time from Monday to Friday!”

Bai Yue didn’t really want to change to a completely new environment either. Hearing Lei Lei’s suggestion, her eyes lit up. “If that’s possible, then a second major would be fine! No matter how tiring it is, can it be more intense than high school?!”

“And with a second major, you won’t have to retake a lot of the general education courses! That’s another benefit!”

Just then, a group of young men and women who were laughing and talking—and clearly weren’t freshmen—walked over. Lei Lei immediately complained, “What took you so long! It doesn’t take that long to escort one freshman!”

One of the guys looked apologetic. “Sorry, Leilei! We just went to buy some fruit tea! It’s so hot today! My treat, everyone!”

As he spoke, he brandished the packaged drinks in his hand.

“Now that’s more like it!” Lei Lei smiled as she took two of the teas. She pulled out a room-temperature one for herself, then handed the other iced one to Bai Yue. “I’ll have the room-temp one!”

Lei Lei then stood up and said, “You guys take over for a bit. I need to go with Bai Yue to the dean’s office to ask about something.”

Seeing this, the guy who brought the tea also stood up. “How about I go with you two? It’s crowded here, and I don’t have much to do anyway! We can all go out for a meal together later!”

Bai Yue shook her head, politely declining with a smile. “There’s no need, Chen Yang! Thanks for the fruit tea! I’ll treat everyone to Luckin Coffee this afternoon. I have some personal business to ask the staff at the dean’s office about, so I wouldn’t want to take up your time!”

Since Bai Yue had put it that way, no matter how thick-skinned Chen Yang was, he couldn’t shamelessly tag along. He just maintained his graceful demeanor and smiled. “Alright! Well, Bai Yue, just let me know if you need any help!”

Grabbing Bai Yue’s arm, Lei Lei also smiled at Chen Yang. “Thanks for the fruit tea, Chen Yang!”

After the two had walked off, one of the girls said to Chen Yang, “Chen Yang! Are you still trying to woo Bai Yue?”
