Chapter 150: Photo
Chapter 150
School was quite busy - course selection, club activities, and various school events. After everyone adjusted from the vacation mood about half a month later, the Literature Society decided to organize a spring outing and held a meeting for people to share suggestions.
Chu Yang also attended the meeting.
Someone proposed going to the outskirts to appreciate the rural scenery, someone suggested visiting famous historical sites like the Forbidden City or the Summer Palace, someone proposed going hiking, and someone even suggested going abroad for the spring outing.
The president rolled his eyes: "...will you sponsor the trip abroad? This is a spring outing, not an overseas trip." This was simply outrageous.
The one who proposed going abroad said: "...I was just kidding. Haha."
The president sighed, "Let's all vote. Qingqing, please prepare some paper slips for everyone to write on."
"Okay."
Soon, everyone had a paper slip and began discussing with those around them.
"Where would you like to go?"
"Let's go hiking. I'm tired of the rural scenery back home, and I've been to the famous historical sites in the city before."
"You're right. I'll choose hiking too. It'll be fun to hike as a group."
The girl next to Chu Yang nudged her arm, "Yang Yang, where would you like to go?"
Chu Yang also chose hiking, "Let's go hiking. I've been to the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace before." Chi Yan had accompanied her to many places, including hiking trips, though not many. As for the rural scenery, her family's countryside was quite nice, so there was no need to go elsewhere.
"Alright then, I'll choose hiking too."
In the end, hiking won by a landslide.
Then a girl raised her hand, "I'd like to ask if we can bring family members?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her. The girl smiled sheepishly, and the president waved his hand, "Of course! We love it lively and bustling. Whoever wants to bring family members can do so."
"There are no restrictions on who we can bring, right?"
The president adjusted his glasses, "If you want to bring your 80-year-old grandmother, I may have to refuse."
Everyone burst into laughter.
They had chosen hiking, but they still needed to decide which mountain to climb.
"How about North Looking Mountain? The night view from there is great."
"But the hotels on North Looking Mountain are quite expensive, and our budget isn't very high."
"Okay then."
"What about Guanyun Mountain in the suburbs?"
"Isn't Guanyun Mountain too far? Plus, there was a dog abuse incident there before, I heard that place is quite eerie."
Upon hearing "eerie," everyone became excited, "What happened? What happened? How was it eerie?"
"Didn't they say someone abused dogs there before? And they found many dead dog bodies? Then later, some people went hiking there, and they were a bit late coming down the mountain. As they were descending, they heard a lot of dog howling sounds, and some even said they saw dogs."
"Maybe it was the lingering spirits of those dead dogs."
"Oh gosh, that's so creepy."
The president tapped the table to interrupt the discussion, "Alright, alright, we're college students, we should believe in science. Don't spread unverified stories. And we're discussing where to go hiking right now."
"How about Lingqiu Mountain? The spring outing should be in March, right? The peach blossoms will be in full bloom in March, so Lingqiu Mountain will be covered in beautiful peach blossoms. There are also barbecue spots there, so we could go have a barbecue. We could even bring tents and camp overnight, then watch the sunrise in the morning."
"I think Lingqiu Mountain sounds good."
"Lingqiu Mountain? I've never even heard of that mountain before."
"Part of Lingqiu Mountain hasn't been opened to the public. I heard someone illegally entered the undeveloped part of the mountain before, so it was closed for rectification after that. It only reopened recently before the new year, and they've set up some barriers to prevent people from entering the undeveloped areas. But Lingqiu Mountain is indeed very beautiful."
"I think it's a good choice."
Finally, the president made the decision, "Alright then, let's go with Lingqiu Mountain. Next, let's discuss the specific process."
...
The meeting lasted two hours, and everyone was tired, but they had more or less settled on the details. After this would be the division of labor and preparation of specific items. There was no rush, as the spring outing was scheduled for March, and they still needed to pick a suitable date with good weather.
The president asked everyone to check if they would bring family members and register their names.
After returning, Chu Yang thought about it and told Chi Yan, since it seemed they would be camping this time, "Would you like to come with me?"
Of course Chi Yan would go, "Sure. When is it? I'll drive us there."
Chu Yang: "Okay, I'll register your name. I'll let you know the details later."
"Great."
There was still some time before the spring outing. Chu Yang's days were filled with either attending classes, commuting to classes, or going to the library. She rarely encountered the main characters in the library anymore, partly because she intentionally avoided them.
However, what Chu Yang didn't know was that a photo had suddenly appeared on the forum of the neighboring B University.
It was a picture of Chu Yang and a male student watching a movie at the cinema, and the male student's appearance couldn't be clearly seen. But everyone knew it definitely wasn't Chi Yan.
"No way, has the campus idol Chi Yan been cheated on?"
"Is that really not Chi Yan?"
"The content is all made up based on one photo. As intelligent and cultured talents of B University, we shouldn't blindly follow rumors, right?"
"You're early, let's see what the next comment says."
"That's definitely not Chi Yan, but that girl is definitely Chi Yan's girlfriend. Is someone trying to frame her?"
"Surely Chi Yan's campus idol girlfriend didn't actually cheat on him, right?"
"They seemed so loving at last semester's sports meet. How did things change after just one new year?"
"Did they break up? And she moved on seamlessly?"
"Although Chi Yan's girlfriend is from the neighboring A University, everyone knows that a high academic record doesn't necessarily mean high moral standards. (PS: The truth isn't clear yet, and I'm not saying his girlfriend cheated on Chi Yan, just expressing an opinion.)"
"Quick, someone tag Chi Yan, I want to see the drama."
"I was feeling down since the start of the semester, but after seeing this gossip, I immediately jumped down from my three-meter-high bed."
"Wow, the person above is impressive. I didn't know our school had three-meter-high beds."
"Chi Yan doesn't check the forums, find his roommates."
...
The forum was abuzz with discussion. Wei Feng and the others weren't in the dorm room - only Chi Yan was there, chatting with Chu Yang about taking her out to play tomorrow, since it was the weekend.
Wei Feng and Zheng Qing had just come from the gymnasium with a basketball when they ran into an acquaintance. "Wei Feng! You need to quickly tell Chi Yan the campus idol that something big has happened!"
Wei Feng was puzzled, "What happened?"
The acquaintance: "Chi Yan has been cheated on!"
Wei Feng and Zheng Qing thought they had heard wrong, so they dug their ears. "What did you say? Who got cheated on?"
The acquaintance: "Chi Yan! Your roommate Chi Yan, the campus idol!"
Wei Feng and Zheng Qing looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible." The big guy wasn't like that.
The acquaintance: "Just check the forum."
Wei Feng and Zheng Qing opened the forum and saw the photo.
The two immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "One photo can't prove anything. This is definitely just a rumor to slander our big guy."
Zheng Qing agreed, "Exactly. What cheating? Someone is definitely trying to frame our big guy."
"Plus, the photo could have been photoshopped."
