Chapter 428: Chapter 423: Shen Yan is Just Amazing

After returning to Shen City, Shen Yan went back to school.

Having been away for far too long, her return to school had her feeling as if she had entered a different world.

Her appearance, unquestionably, once again caused a stir on campus.

Quite a few took advantage of their shared schoolhood to run up to Shen Yan and ask for her autograph.

Shen Yan didn’t refuse them.

Lin Shuangxu had not received news of Shen Yan’s return to school and only realized Shen Yan was back when she, returning from an outing with students from another department, saw the commotion on the wide grounds!

“Lin Shuangxu, aren’t you good friends with Shen Yan? Why didn’t she tell you she’d be back? Seems like your friendship isn’t that solid after all,” the female student who was with her said with a hint of sarcasm.

She was out with another friend today, so they were hanging out together.

It was nothing serious, just that the guy this girl liked was currently pursuing Lin Shuangxu, whom he hadn’t yet won over.

The last guy who pursued Lin Shuangxu did so because of his interest in Shen Yan, making Lin Shuangxu a bit hesitant.

Although this guy was being somewhat low-key at the moment, and his family was said to be not too bad, Lin Shuangxu was still unsure.

If it turned out he was after Shen Yan again, it would trouble Shen Yan and bring problems for herself.

Lin Shuangxu glanced at the girl blandly: “I knew she would return, just not exactly when. Got a problem with that?”

Nice try with the insinuations, she thought.

Lin Shuangxu understood Shen Yan’s busy life. Some friendships don’t need constant flattering or daily check-ins about every little thing.

The way things were between them now felt very comfortable.

The snubbed girl felt displeased and suddenly said, “Since you’re so close with Shen Yan, it happens that we would also like her autograph. Could you get her to come over and sign one for us?”

Lin Shuangxu laughed, “What makes you think you can demand a signature from someone of Shen Yan’s stature? Don’t you know with her current worth, she’s not someone just anyone could afford? If you want an autograph, sure, but you’ll have to name the right price. I’ll get her for you. How many do you want her to sign?”

“…Lin Shuangxu, aren’t you good friends? Bringing up money between friends can hurt the relationship,” she retorted.

“She’s my friend, not yours. How does hurting your feelings matter? But since we’re schoolmates, I’ll ask Shen Yan for a ‘friendship price.’ How’s that?” Lin Shuangxu wasn’t afraid to offend her; from the very start, the girl had been giving her snide remarks, and she wasn’t about to put up with it.

“That’s just too much,” the girl said, her face flushing with anger.

“I can get way more outrageous, want to try?” Lin Shuangxu said, hands on her hips, looking at her defiantly.

The girl’s face grew even more displeased, “She’s just a showy little star, what’s so great about that.”

With that, she turned and walked away.

The others also felt awkward.

Lin Shuangxu sneered, “Shen Yan is exceptional. If she’s a ‘little star,’ then what does that make the rest of the entertainment industry?”

“Lin Shuangxu, we’re going to head off,” some nearby quickly departed.

Lin Shuangxu apologized to her two close friends, then stood there watching Shen Yan in the distance.

Shen Yan glanced away from the crowd and spotted Lin Shuangxu not too far away. She made a gesture to the students crowding around her, ending the signing session, and walked toward Lin Shuangxu.

Seeing her approach, Lin Shuangxu stepped forward to meet her, “Why’d you stop signing?”

“My hand’s tired,” Shen Yan lifted her chin, “What’s up?”

“Just a jealous person, no need to bother with them,” Lin Shuangxu wanted to take Shen Yan’s hand but then retracted it, “You’re finally back at school. During the holiday, you have no idea how much we wanted to hang out with you. But we were afraid of disturbing your work. Has everything been going smoothly lately?”

“Pretty good.”

“Ji Yao and the others have basically settled down now and are coming to school less and less. I really envy them, being hired directly by that kind of department, then they’ll be supported by the state!” Lin Shuangxu showed an envious expression, “Right, I’ll let Ji Yao and the others know. Let’s take the opportunity to get together tonight; otherwise, you’ll be off to work again tomorrow.”

“I should be at school for the next few days,” Shen Yan paused, then said, “You contact them. If they’re free, I’ll book a place outside and treat everyone to a meal.”

“Great, great!” Lin Shuangxu quickly sent a message to Ji Yao.

*

In the evening, Shen Yan had Liu Su book a quiet and secluded restaurant, and Lin Shuangxu and the others arrived one after another.

Lin Shuangxu even wore an autumn dress today and made herself up a bit. Her temperament was good enough to match such a place.

As soon as she entered this kind of upscale restaurant, Lin Shuangxu felt particularly restrained.

Especially when she saw the society people dining here, all dressed up bright and beautiful, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Ji Yao and the others didn’t seem to mind at all. Now they were people from that department, and this kind of situation wasn’t too uncomfortable for them.

“Have a seat,” Shen Yan gestured, “They didn’t have any private rooms left, so I could only book a better spot in the public area.”

“It’s really hard to book a place here, just for a simple dish of cabbage, it costs hundreds of yuan…” Lin Shuangxu pressed her voice and glanced around before saying to Shen Yan, “This is like robbery.”

Shen Yan smiled, “What they provide is service, as well as security facilities and the environment. Such places, you can’t find them in street stalls outside.”

Lin Shuangxu just felt there was no need to be such a sucker – the dishes were similar, paying money for such service seemed somewhat extravagant.

But Lin Shuangxu just grumbled a little, to say more would become annoying.

“Shen Yan, you’ve hardly been back to school recently. What are your plans going forward?” Ji Yao knew Shen Yan was good with computers and thought it was a pity to just give that up.

But with Shen Yan’s current abilities, there was no need to enter the industry.

Income as a star was high and not bad compared to what they were doing.

Moreover, Ji Yao thought Shen Yan was very suited for the spotlight!

Standing on stage doing nothing, she was still stunningly brilliant!

“I’ll persist with my studies,” Shen Yan said half-jokingly, “If one day I get banned and have nowhere to turn, I can still go back to my old job.”

“Who would be so blind as to ban you? Shen Yan, you don’t know, you’re extremely popular now! Such a big money tree, who would be foolish enough to ban it.”

“A ban isn’t just being put on ice by the company; it’s being ostracized by the entire entertainment industry. Now the number of people who have issues with me and are smearing my name isn’t small.”

“Let’s not talk about that; let’s have a drink first!” Ji Yao quickly poured them both half a glass of wine, being cautious not to give too much to the girls.

“Lin Shuangxu!”

Just as they were about to toast, a male voice came from the side.

Lin Shuangxu turned to see a clean-looking boy staring at her, belonging to that neat and tidy Prince Charming type, instantly gaining people’s favor with just one glance!

Seeing the other person staring at Lin Shuangxu, neglecting to even glance at them, they all exchanged looks in confusion.

What’s this about now?

“You’re Zhou Yan, right?” Ji Yao suddenly remembered something and blurted out.
