Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 275 "Are you there?"

(ps: The previous chapter has been released)
-
The week passed quickly.

October 17, 2014, was the day the second episode of "Running Man" premiered.

Unlike the first episode, after a week of buzz, "Running Man" has already gained widespread popularity, and countless people are now glued to their TV screens waiting for the second episode to begin.

The female dormitory of the School of Media Studies.

Cai Meiqi, Zhang Jingya, and Zeng Lanlan were sitting around the computer, eating snacks and drinking sugary drinks while waiting for the start of "Running Man".

Soon, the program officially began.

Cai Meiqi turned to Ruan Yusang, who was still lying in bed, and said, "Sangsang, come down and watch 'Running Man'."

"Oh."

Ruan Yusang responded and then listlessly climbed off the bed.

Seeing her listless appearance, Cai Meiqi couldn't help but say, "Sangsang, cheer up! It's just a breakup. Look at the three of us, we've broken up with several people in the four years of college."

Zhang Jingya put a potato chip in her mouth and said while chewing, "How can that be the same? Sangsang is dating a rich, handsome, and wealthy young man!"

Cai Meiqi retorted, "I've dated rich boyfriends too!"

Zhang Jingya pouted: "Did your rich boyfriend buy you a Porsche 911?"

Cai Meiqi was speechless.

In fact, as broadcasting students in the School of Media and Communication, Ruan Yusang's three roommates were all quite good-looking. Coupled with their superb makeup skills, they were often pursued by rich second-generation heirs and wealthy men in society.

But even if they date rich men, they don't end up gaining anything.

If they're generous, they might buy me a bag;
If you encounter some rich second-generation kids who drive sports cars but can't actually pull out 10,000 yuan from their pockets, then you're just being taken advantage of. The only valuable thing you get is a few selfies of yourself sitting in the passenger seat of the sports car.

Why is it considered valuable?

On the one hand, it can satisfy one's vanity and create a sophisticated social media profile;
On the other hand, it can also tell the next guy who's going to take the fall: I'm a woman who's ridden in a sports car. If you want to pursue me, you'd better think twice about your own abilities.

But it's extremely rare for someone like Chen Yan to give his girlfriend a Porsche 911, even in an arts school like the Media Studies Department.

At least Cai Meiqi and her classmates have never heard of such a thing since they enrolled in school.

So when Ruan Yusang drove that crimson Porsche 911 to school that day, they were shocked for quite a while before they came to their senses.

Speaking of the Porsche 911, Cai Meiqi asked again, "By the way, Sangsang, where's your 911? I haven't seen you park it downstairs at the dorm."

"Oh, I didn't drive it back."

Ruan Yusang said expressionlessly.

"what?!"

Cai Meiqi exclaimed, "Are you stupid? If you break up and don't bring the car back, then you've wasted a whole year of your youth!"

Ruan Yusang didn't say anything and sat down in the chair by herself.

Meanwhile, the second episode of "Running Man" had already officially begun.

On the screen, the familiar opening music began to play, and the camera panned across the vibrant cityscape before finally focusing on the seven members of the Running Man cast. Deng Chao, Li Chen, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Zulan, and the only female member, Angelababy, stood spiritedly in a large square, all dressed in matching blue tracksuits.

"It's started, it's started!"

Zhang Jingya clapped her hands excitedly, and everyone's attention was immediately focused on the screen again.

"Dear viewers, welcome back to Running Man!"

As the team captain, Deng Chao was the first to shout the slogan into the camera, "We are a family!"

The other members immediately followed, shouting in unison, "Run, brother!"

The atmosphere was instantly ignited. "Wow, the venue looks huge this time!" Cai Meiqi pointed at the screen.

"Look, look! There are so many guests this time!" Zhang Jingya, with her sharp eyes, spotted staff members guiding several figures over from the edge of the square.

The camera then pans to the entrance, accompanied by suspenseful background sound effects and the members' exaggerated "wow" sounds, as the four special guests make their appearance one by one:

They are Xie Yilin, Zhang Lanxin, Tang Xinyi, and Gulnazar.

When the program was transitioning to another scene after 20 minutes, a screen-switching ad popped up.

Deng Chao made a funny shouting gesture at the screen: "Looking for a job? Go to Boss Zhipin!"

Upon hearing the advertisement, Ruan Yusang, whose emotions had been somewhat stirred by the program, suddenly dimmed her eyes again.

Zeng Lanlan, who was standing nearby, noticed that something was wrong with her and said, "Sangsang, is it really over between you and Chen Yan?"

"What else can we do? That scumbag was caught cheating! Are we supposed to expect Sangsang to forgive him?"

Cai Meiqi continued, "There are only two kinds of cheating: zero times or countless times. Staying away from scumbags and treasuring life are not just empty words!"

Besides, Sangsang is the most beautiful girl in our media school. Does she have to worry about not finding a good guy in the future?

Zeng Lanlan said, "But they are each other's first love after all, and they have been dating for a year. Their relationship is still solid. Isn't it a pity that they are broken up by a third party?"

Zhang Jingya put the snacks back on the table and said earnestly to Ruan Yusang, "I also think it's such a waste, Sangsang. Aren't you just letting that mistress get away with this?"

"Yes, it's such a waste of that vixen to give away such an outstanding guy like Chen Yan!" Zeng Lanlan said.

Cai Meiqi made a stop gesture: "Stop, stop! What do you two mean? You're not going to make Sangsang go and snatch that scumbag back, are you?"

"I think we should ask Sangsang about this."

Zhang Jingya looked at Ruan Yusang: "Sangsang, do you still like him?"

"I……"

Ruan Yusang was speechless for a moment.

How could I not like it?

At only a sophomore year of college, he has built such a successful business from scratch. This outstanding man almost fulfills Ruan Bao's perfect fantasy of a partner.

He was not only her first love, but also her idol.

In the eleven days since the breakup, she hasn't had a single good night's sleep. Every time she closes her eyes, that roguish handsome face involuntarily pops into her mind.

His gentleness, his domineering nature—sweet memories from the past flashed back and forth like movie scenes. Several times she cried and laughed at the same time, not even realizing that her tears had soaked her pillowcase.

Ruan Yusang lowered her eyes and said softly, "I don't know either."

Zhang Jingya slapped her thigh: "You're saying that because you still have feelings for him."

As she spoke, she snatched Ruan Yusang's phone, turned on the screen, and there it was—a group photo.

It's a photo of Chen Yan embracing Ruan Yusang and kissing her on the sofa.

"Look at you, still being stubborn, you haven't even changed the wallpaper yet!"

As she spoke, she directly entered Ruan Yusang's birthday to unlock her phone and opened WeChat with lightning speed. The pinned contact was "Husband," and it was obvious who it was.

Zhang Jingya simply sent a "Are you there?" message.

Ruan Yusang was watching her from the side. Only after the message was sent did she belatedly snatch back the phone, feigning displeasure as she said, "Jingya, what are you doing!"
