Chapter 142



Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye and waited for his reply.

Lu Jingye walked over to her and with a serious and stern voice, he said, "You're not eighteen yet."

After that, he headed for the door.

Zi Yi was stunned for several seconds before she recovered her senses. Immediately, she stood up and chased after him. Looking at Lu Jingye who had already walked to the car parked outside, she shouted, "Lu Jingye, I'm already of age based on my ID card."

Lu Jingye who was about to get into the car looked back at her with those deep-set eyes of his.

Zi Yi knew he had checked her background before. She pouted and said discontentedly, "Alright, my real birthday is September 20th."

She muttered to herself, "So old-fashioned. You're so picky even over a few months. You deserve not having found a girlfriend despite your age."

After she muttered to herself, she shouted, "When I turn eighteen, you will be my boyfriend."

Lu Jingye did not respond. In his mind, the little girl's interest was merely a moment of curiosity. Perhaps one day when she encounters a good-looking man who can also cook, she would fall in love with him.

He did not wish to be with her just because she liked him a little bit.

Zi Yi looked at the departing car and turned around to walk back inside. However, just as she was about to surf the net, her phone rang.

The call was from Dou Xiangling.

"Yiyi, I'm heading to Metropolis University today. Let's go together."

Dou Xiangling's thoughts were in fact, very simple. Since Zi Yi disliked studying, she would bring her to experience the environment at the university first. Following that, she would tell her what's so interesting about studying. Perhaps it might arouse her interest in studying.

Zi Yi was a little surprised at her invitation.

She knew Dou Xiangling meant no harm to her. She thought about it for a second and agreed.

When Zi Yi arrived at the gates of the university, Dou Xiangling was already waiting for her.

Standing beside Dou Xiangling was Qin Yuqiao.

The duo did not see her. Qin Yuqiao was still talking to Dou Xiangling at that time. "Xiangling, I heard that Yiyi dislikes studying. Is it really a good idea to invite her here?"

Dou Xiangling said, "I'll bring her to the Academy of Fine Arts to look around. I remember she was fond of painting when she was a child."

After she said that, she inadvertently looked back and saw Zi Yi walking towards them.

"Yiyi."

Zi Yi nodded back.

Qin Yuqiao acted as if she was asking unintentionally, "Yiyi, you came here rather quickly. Could it be that you stay nearby?"

Dou Xiangling also wanted to know where she stayed.

Zi Yi pointed to the racing car parked not far away. "As long as I drive, no place is far away for me."

Dou Xiangling knew that she did not wish to reveal where she lived, so she smiled and said, "Yiyi, let's go in together. Lessons are currently ongoing so there are fewer people on campus. The school bus isn't crowded either."

Qin Yuqiao added. "We don't have to worry about onlookers."

Having said that, Qin Yuqiao seemed to have found a topic she could excel in. "You might not know of this, but Dou Xiangling was not only the campus belle of Metropolis University when she studied here, but also the top goddess for many boys. I realize that the Dou family's genes are really good. Yiyi must have also inherited their genes. From your appearance to temperament, there is nothing to find fault on."

As she listened to Qin Yuqiayo bootlicking, Zi Yi looked at her with her lips pursed.

Dou Xiangling was proud when Zi Yi was praised. "Yiyi has the best genes from the combination of the Dou family and Zi family. Therefore, she is so beautiful."

Zi Yi did not care much for her appearance. She suddenly asked, "Aren't we going to tour around Metropolis University? Where shall we go first?"

"We'll go to the Academy of Fine Arts first. It just so happens that there's a student calligraphy exhibition there. Let's go and check it out."


Chapter 143


The trio rode the school bus and headed straight for the Academy of Fine Arts.

The Metropolis University's Academy of Fine Arts was a world-famous institution and those who were admitted were all the best in the creative circles.

"The Academy of Fine Arts holds an exhibition every quarter. Xiangling, I recalled that you won the championship every quarter when you studied here in the past. How is the classmate who is often ranked behind you?"

"You mean Pei Ling? He went to F Country's Academy of Fine Arts."

Dou Xiangling said to Zi Yi, "Yiyi, at the exhibition later, you can look around freely. If you fancy something, you can tell me."

Zi Yi nodded.

They did not have to walk long before they came to a tall, red dome building, which was modeled after a tsar russian rooftop.

There was a crowd of people walking towards the entrance while engaged in a conversation. The moment the trio appeared, Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling had immediately become the focus of attention.

"Oh god, isn't that Senior Dou, the goddess of XX? She actually came back?"

"I wonder if Senior Dou will open an exhibition this time around. I love her paintings very much!"

"Me too~"

"Who's that girl standing beside Senior Dou? She's so beautiful!"

...

The trio followed along the direction of the crowd and walked in.

There were many who greeted Dou Xiangling along the way and they could not help but sneak a peek at Zi Yi.

The interior of the building had a large space and it was divided into many areas. Each area is only separated by half a wall.

There were already quite a number of people inside. Other than students, there were also contestants, teachers, and professors.

The moment Dou Xiangling entered, she said to Zi Yi, "Yiyi, you can take a look around first. I'll go and greet my mentor."

"Ok."

Before she left, she was a little uneasy and so, she said to Qin Yuqiao, "Yuqiao, help me take good care of Yiyi."

Qin Yuqiao smiled and assured her. "Xiangliang, you can rest assured that I will take good care of Yiyi."

Only then, did Dou Xiangling feel reassured enough to leave.

Qin Yuqiao had intentions to get closer with Zi Yi and naturally, she would try her best to express her goodwill.

"Yiyi, let's check out the paintings together. Do you have a certain style you like?"

"No."

The both of them headed over to a corner.

In order to increase her sense of existence before Zi Yi, Qin Yuqiao acted as a commentator while they walked around. The way she explained was clear and logical.

Zi Yi suddenly asked her after she heard some of her explanations, "You also major in art?"

Qin Yuqiao was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "No, I major in design, but I have studied art. After all, many aspects in designing require drawing."

Zi Yi nodded and the both of them continued to walk around.

Zi Yi looked around for a short while and stopped at a painting.

The name of the painting was <Gap>. Half of the painting was busy streets, while an old alley was drawn on the other half. In fact, there were not many distinguishing features between the two walkways. The most prominent trait would be the cat standing at the intersection. On the bustling street, the cat's fur was clean and glowing, whereas the cat on the old street alley was dirty.

There was a crowd in front of the painting. Everyone was commenting on it, saying that it was well painted.

Seeing that Zi Yi was looking at it, she had the thought of wanting to show off in front of her. Therefore, she asked, "Yiyi, do you like this painting?"

"No."

Zi Yi walked away after replying.

Qin Yuqiao hastily followed up to her. "Why? I think it's painted pretty well."

She subconsciously wanted to show off as she said, "That painting..."

Zi Yi suddenly stopped walking and interrupted her. "The finishing touches of that painting should have been on the two cats. However, the painter did not draw out the expressions within their eyes. Both cats' eyes were dull. What's good about it?"

"Erm..."
