Zhang Chen gave an awkward laugh.
"Let me ask you a simple question first. If you can answer it, continue; if you can't, then forget it."
"Please speak!"
"What are some of Montaigne's famous quotes? Any one will do."
Li Yu frowned, observing the other person's expression, and tentatively asked, "Meng Tian? You play mobile games too?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi's vision went black, and the students queuing behind her burst out laughing.
However, the laughter didn't last more than a few seconds before a sudden uproar broke out in the group.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the long, straight black-haired girl who was walking gracefully towards them.
"President? You can leave this to me. Aren't you waiting for someone..." Ye Zhi said, startled. "You should go and rest first."
“I will review this person,” Li Yinuo said in a gentle, warm voice. “The rest are yours.”
"Are you going to do it yourself? There's no need... They don't really understand... so they'll just be eliminated immediately."
"It's okay, I'll check it again." Li Yinuo sat down, holding the puppy, facing Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen was also looking at her.
At this moment, many people who had only come to catch a glimpse of Li Yinuo were just watching the drama unfold.
Li Yu, standing beside him, gaped wide-eyed, unable to utter a word, his eyes bulging as if they were about to burst.
Countless gazes pressed down on Zhang Chen, like an invisible pressure that left him frozen in place, unable to escape.
I feel like I've been set up.
It seems that even if Li Yu hadn't brought him here, the wolf demon would probably have led him here and then been controlled by Li Yinuo.
What did Li Yinuo want to ask him?
"It's a bit hot." Li Yinuo didn't get straight to the point, but instead took off her mask and raised her fair hand to fan herself.
As the mask was removed, Zhang Chen could clearly see the girl's entire face from this angle.
They only made eye contact for a second.
A tender, fragile, and endearing feeling suddenly welled up within him. The emotion came so abruptly that Zhang Chen almost wondered if the other party had used some kind of bewitching magic.
But Li Yinuo quickly pulled her hat brim down hard, which perfectly matched the angle of the direct sunlight, and her beautiful, fair face was once again hidden in the shadows.
"Uh, is there anything you want to ask?" Zhang Chen, having been piqued, couldn't wait to speak first.
How old are you?
"Eighteen," Zhang Chen said.
"Oh." Li Yinuo nodded obediently, "He's younger than me."
“…” Zhang Chen realized that just by listening to her tone, he felt that this girl was not very smart.
Have you read my new book?
"I've seen it."
"What are your thoughts on my new book?"
"It's well written?"
"anything else?"
"That's all." Zhang Chen didn't offer any further comment.
"Okay, okay." Li Yinuo nodded obediently as always. "One last question."
Do you have a girlfriend?
Zhang Chen was stunned. Was it really that direct? There were quite a few people present. Wouldn't he be filmed and cyberbullied online?
"without..."
“Okay, thank you for your reply.” Li Yinuo extended her small hand to him. “Welcome to the Literature Club.”
Zhang Chen instinctively grasped the girl's hand; it was soft, smooth, and delicate...
Chapter 18 Senior is a Monster
Soon after, the review ended, and Zhang Chen was pulled away by Li Yu, leaving behind a crowd of people gossiping.
Meanwhile, Li Yinuo was also surrounded by members of the club at the logistics department.
Ye Zhi was very troubled, much like a secretary who was anxious for the president:
"President! Why did you hire him? He doesn't know anything! And the questions you asked him..."
"To be honest, if this gets out, it will not only damage your reputation, but also lower the credibility of the club... and it will also affect the funding approved by the school..."
Li Yinuo gently rubbed the puppy's paws and said softly, "If the funding is insufficient, I can use some of my royalties to compensate everyone."
"That's not what I meant... Someone was filming it just now. It's okay if it's on the school wall, but what if it gets posted online?"
“I’ve covered my face,” Li Yinuo said, tilting her head.
"Even if you cover your face, there's nothing I can do... People who know you will recognize you at a glance."
"I speak very softly."
"I heard everything! Even if the audio wasn't recorded, with so many people there, and with a few people adding fuel to the fire, who knows what kind of rumors would spread..."
"They're so mean, they like to take pictures without my permission." Li Yinuo was a little angry.
"..."
Upon hearing this, the other members of the club were somewhat devastated.
At first glance, all the club members are girls, which is why so many boys come to participate in the club selection process—not for literature, but more for dating.
"President... I really don't know why you did this. You said you were waiting for someone, could it be that person?" Ye Zhi said, covering her face.
"Mmm," Li Yinuo responded lightly.
"If you had known each other all along, you would have just told me. It's not impossible for you to get into the club through connections; it would only take a word from you. Why make such a fuss?"
“No, we don’t know each other.” Li Yinuo shook her head.
"Huh? You don't recognize me? Then why..."
Ye Zhi was completely baffled. It couldn't be because he was handsome, could it? She couldn't believe that such a well-mannered and perfect girl as Li Yinuo would be obsessed with looks...
Li Yinuo remained silent, then lowered her eyes and scratched the puppy's belly.
Ye Zhi immediately realized that Li Yinuo had something she couldn't say in front of so many people, so she asked the other members of the club to leave first.
The others dispersed with heavy hearts, leaving only Ye Zhi behind.
She was not only Li Yinuo's most loyal fan and most capable subordinate, but also her best friend.
Ye Zhi knew that when Li Yinuo wasn't writing, she would appear quite dazed and adorable, and she was often neglectful and forgetful about things in her daily life.
I can't remember the names of the members, I can't remember the time, and I can't remember where I put the key.
As for neglecting to eat and sleep, that's commonplace for Li Yinuo. The most terrifying record is that she didn't eat anything for a whole week.
The reason... is that Li Yinuo was hesitating about what to eat; there was something she wanted to eat but couldn't remember.
So she kept thinking about it and lived alone in the club office for a week. When she was found, she had already fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
Ye Zhi used to think that these unusual habits were just Li Yinuo's special characteristics as a genius.
But what happened today was still too unusual.
"Xiao Ye, do you remember how long it's been since I last wrote a book before the new one?" Li Yinuo suddenly asked.
"About two years, I think? You didn't seem to write much after you went to university."
"Well, it's not that I don't want to write, it's that I can't remember why I should write it." Li Yinuo rested her chin on her hand, and the little dog in her arms imitated her by resting its chin on its hand as well.
"Do I even need to think about this...?"
“Of course I do.” Li Yinuo rested her chin on her other hand. “I’m writing down everything I remember in order to remember someone.”
“He was a very, very important person, but I can’t help forgetting him.” A hollow look appeared in Li Yinuo’s eyes.
Do you remember the title of my first book?
"A dog's diary," Ye Zhi replied.
"Yes, it really is a diary. I read it every day so I won't forget that person."
"But later, I even forgot that I had written this diary."
This is real.
Ye Zhi often saw Li Yinuo staring blankly at the books she had written, and asking herself, "Who wrote these books?"
"A long, long time ago, this land wasn't a school; it used to be a cemetery."
“I stand in front of your tombstone every day, waiting and waiting and waiting... for so many years, and I’ve seen so many people... Xiao Ye, I used to hold you when you were little.”
“It’s not just you, but also your mother, your grandmother, your great-grandmother… Your family lived on a hillside not far away. Originally, there were only two households, but later the village grew bigger and bigger, and more and more people were born and died, and they were all buried here.”
Ye Zhi was stunned because she had heard from her family that Nanjing University was originally located on a cemetery, and that the cemetery was later moved to make way for the university.
However... this isn't the first or second time that Li Yinuo has mixed up her imagination with reality and talked nonsense.
Perhaps this is the flaw of genius.
"President, I think you should take a break. Writing a new book at such a high intensity these days may have caused you some mental problems again..." Ye Zhi advised.
"Hmm..." Li Yinuo blinked, "It seems so. I should rest."
"Xiao Ye, you should go and rest too. I'll stay here by myself for a while."
"Do you still remember the way back to your dorm?" Ye Zhi asked worriedly.
"I remember... um, turn left, then right, then go straight, right?"
"It's good that you remember." Ye Zhi sighed. "I'll go and deal with the public opinion surrounding this matter for you. At least we need to prevent it from spreading at school, otherwise it will affect your life."
"Hard."
