Chapter 153: Overbearing CEO Zhou Jingchen

The instructor walked away after dumping a basket containing confiscated snacks, cell phones, and playing cards, casually announcing that the military training had officially come to an end.

His departure left the girls in the dormitory with expressions of utter despair.

After a long silence, a sudden wave of wailing erupted, with Chu Yueyue included among them.

The other three girls massaged their temples in exasperation and finally went around to comfort their roommates one by one. They had no choice; if they let them carry on like this, how was anyone going to sleep? They had to get up at six-thirty sharp the next morning for the early exercise routine.

Through this shared ordeal, the girls of Class 1, Grade 1 grew much closer, and they only returned to their respective beds to sleep after the lights went out.

Because she had been in a rush while packing her things, Yu Qian had forgotten to bring the phone installed with the Red Packet Group, and there were still three hours left until midnight.

Although she could enter the Small Grotto-heaven ahead of time, Yu Qian didn't feel like it. On this rare moment of leisure, she would rather zone out than go in and act as a third wheel.

Ever since Erlang Shen and the Celestial Hound got together, those immortals and demons had realized that as long as they formed a proper dao companion bond rather than resorting to crooked paths, the Heavenly Dao would raise no objections.

At the same time, if anyone dared to commit forbidden transgressions, the heavenly lightning of the Dao wouldn't care who they were—it would strike them so hard even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

Consequently, everyone was acting as if their true natures had been unleashed. No, rather, it was as if they were all in rut, frantically searching for partners.

Even several of the sages had found their lovers who were in no hurry to be reincarnated.

At first, when Yu Qian hadn't known what was going on, she had been thoroughly frightened by the ghosts appearing in the Small Grotto-heaven. Later, once she grew used to the presence of ghosts, she was driven to the point of wanting to beat people up by the relentless displays of affection from these couples.

Every time she was forced to be a third wheel and watch people flaunt their romance, Yu Qian felt her teeth itch with annoyance.

Why wasn't she an adult yet? If she were an adult, she could have already devoured Zhou Jingchen and could go around flaunting her own romance to others.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian found herself missing Zhou Jingchen.

The last time they met was at the beginning of August, just when he had returned from Hangzhou and was planning to rest for a few days. Unfortunately, she had been caught up in her final training sessions and hadn't been able to spend much time with him.

She had thought that once those few busy days were over, she would properly keep him company, but one thing led to another until the very end of the month.

She had started school, and Zhou Jingchen had started school as well.

She was still in the provincial capital, while Zhou Jingchen had already gone to Yunjing.

He had been accepted into Jinghua University.

At the start of senior year, Director Xu and others who had collaborated with Zhou Jingchen all urged him to take the art exams and apply for the Beijing Film Academy. He had hesitated and discussed it with Yu Qian, but she told him not to mind other people's opinions, to study whatever he wanted, and that forcing himself to pursue a major he disliked would only make him unhappy.

Zhou Jingchen had always listened to Yu Qian. In the end, he skipped the art exams and took the regular national college entrance examination, entering Jinghua University as the top science student in Sichuan Province to study computer science, his favorite subject.

Right now, he must be going through military training too, right?

Yu Qian wondered if he would get even a shade darker after his military training finished. Every time she saw how he refused to tan under the sun, she felt intensely envious.

As for herself, she never tanned because she had consumed the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, whereas Zhou Jingchen was simply immune to tanning by nature.

Enviable, *ing*.

While she was thinking of Zhou Jingchen, the person she missed was thinking of her as well.

Although Zhou Jingchen had announced he would not take the art exams and would not attend the Beijing Film Academy, given the academy's special recruitment offer, many people still guessed he would ultimately go there.

Therefore, on enrollment day, when people saw that this major star really hadn't gone to the film academy, but had instead come to Jinghua and even chosen the most inconspicuous computer science department, not only Jinghua students but even internet users were dumbfounded.

A male actor choosing to study computer science instead of a film school—wasn't that neglecting one's proper occupation?

Just as netizens were expressing their incomprehension regarding Zhou Jingchen's choice, the official Weibo account of Yunbo suddenly posted a single sentence:

"Did you guys forget about Boss Zhou's other identity?"

That remark dragged the memories of the netizens right back.

Being an actor was merely Zhou Jingchen's side job.

Being the head of a technology company was his main profession.

Then again, why would a perfectly good, domineering CEO lose his mind and run off to become a star?

The sudden moment of enlightenment was immediately followed by a new wave of confusion.
