“Fang Tian senpai?”
“Is it him?”
“Damn! It’s him!”
A group of people surrounded him.
Fang Tian looked at the students in the distance and felt something was off.
Why were they all looking at him like a bunch of perverts seeing a beautiful woman in stockings?
“Is it Fang Tian? Are you sure?”
“It’s him, it’s him!!!”
The group, talking excitedly, rushed toward Fang Tian, completely encircling him.
Their gazes were intense, full of fervor.
“Fang Tian senpai, you’re back.”
“You went to the capital? Just got back?”
“Fang Tian senpai, are you really the younger brother of the big star, Jing Tian?”
“Ah ah ah! It’s Fang Tian senpai!”
“Fang Tian senpai, have you eaten? I’ll treat you to some hot dry noodles!”
“Fang Tian senpai, what’s the new song about? I really want to hear it…”
Most of the students were first and second-year students, with a majority of freshmen.
Right now, Fang Tian was the number one trending topic online!
Last night, they had scrolled through all the rumors about Fang Tian, each more unbelievable than the last.
Some said Fang Tian had written 100 original songs.
Others said he was the illegitimate son of Ma Yun.
Still others said he could predict the future!
The students surrounded Fang Tian, chattering amongst themselves.
Fang Tian was taken aback for a moment before quickly reacting.
“Hello everyone, hello everyone.” Fang Tian hastily greeted them.
“That’s right, I just got back, but I did take a leave of absence, haha.”
“There’s a new original song, in Jing Tian’s new album, everyone go check it out!”
“Haven’t eaten yet, been traveling all day.”
Fang Tian responded to everyone’s inquiries one by one.
At this time, a girl standing closest to Fang Tian in the crowd rolled her eyes and suddenly stretched out her hand, offering a freshly bought hand-pulled pancake:
“Fang Tian senpai, want some?”
It was lunchtime, and her action caught everyone off guard.
“Uh?” Fang Tian didn’t know how to respond.
Suddenly, after a brief silence, the crowd erupted in a commotion.
“Want some smoked meat pancake?”
“Fang Tian senpai, pancake…”
“Fang Tian senpai, Wuhan hot dry noodles, so delicious!”
…
Fang Tian looked at the various snacks offered by the students, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.
But he found them endearing.
However, as more and more people gathered, Fang Tian started to feel a little overwhelmed.
But he was a people pleaser and didn’t want to disappoint them.
Fang Tian’s eyes lit up as he saw a nearby beverage shop:
“Hey everyone, I won’t eat the food, thanks for your kindness. How about I treat everyone to ice cream? Come on, let’s go.”
He pointed with his finger and led them towards the beverage shop.
“Ah ah ah! Fang Tian senpai is so kind.”
“This… Fang Tian senpai is so good. Can I be your girlfriend?”
“Sister, please stop showing off, he seems to have a girlfriend!”
“Ah~ who is it?”
“Of course it’s Zhang Ruo Nan!”
“Zhang what Nan?”
As they entered the beverage shop, the thirty-something-year-old female owner was stunned to see a swarm of people.
Then, she saw Fang Tian at the front of the crowd and her eyes lit up.
“Oh, you’re Fang Tian! Back?”
Wow, looks like even the shop owners in Jinling University knew Fang Tian.
Fang Tian nodded. “Hello, I’m back. I want to ask you something, is it okay?”
He explained his request to the owner.
The owner was overjoyed. “Absolutely no problem.”
“So, I’ll settle the bill tonight?”
“Sure, you’re a big star, I’m not worried you’ll skip out on the bill, am I?”
“Alright.”
Fang Tian turned to the students. “Everyone, the drinks are on me tonight, but I have to report back to my advisor. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet later, okay? Can I go now?”
“Hahaha, Fang Tian senpai has to report back to his advisor.”
“Senpai, you go. Remember to stay in school more!”
…
Finally, Fang Tian squeezed his way out of the beverage shop.
Then, he put on the hat from his jacket and hurried back to the dorm.
Ugh, being famous has its downsides.
Stardom isn’t easy!
On the other side, after Fang Tian left, the female owner raised her arms and shouted:
“Students! All drinks are free today, all paid for by Fang Tian!”
The students swarmed in.
Minutes later, one of the students got some ice cream and posted on the school forum:
“Ice cream treated by Fang Tian senpai, so sweet~~~”
Suddenly, the Jinling forum was flooded with posts about Fang Tian treating everyone to ice cream.
It was a little after 1 pm, many students were sleeping, those not sleeping were usually internet surfing enthusiasts.
Someone saw the post and immediately replied: “What’s going on? You’re Fang Tian senpai’s friend?”
“No, Fang Tian senpai came back and we caught him. So, Fang Tian senpai treated us to ice cream. Come on, it’s at the beverage shop in front of the school.”
Wow, a female student who had been lying in bed browsing the forum suddenly sat up straight.
“What are you doing? You don’t have class this afternoon.”
“Stop sleeping, the Fang Tian senpai you’ve been yearning for is back, he’s treating everyone to ice cream at the school gate!”
“What?” Another roommate sat up straight.
“Let’s go!”
