Chapter 68 - Scholarship and Dinner (2)  

This time, her class instructor called her up directly and announced to her excitedly, "Chi Ying, the result has just come out. Congratulation on winning the top prize for the Star of Oushi scholarship. The award ceremony will take place in the auditorium next week and you will need to prepare a speech for that day."

All relative announcements quickly appeared in all student activity clubs' and the student union's official Wechat accounts. What would have been a very boring award ceremony about someone else getting money became the center of attention all of a sudden with the participation of both Lu JingYan and Chi Ying.

"What's with this school flower of ours? Nevermind that she has the look of a fairy, she even does so well academically." The students' union was in charge of the planning of the award ceremony. The head of the Publicity Department was flipping through Chi Ying's information and thinking about how he could sneak a few tickets for himself. "President, how are we going to hand out the tickets to the students?"

"Put it online and first come first serve," replied the president of the Students' Union.

"Are you kidding me? We will need a first-come-first-serve system for tickets to a scholarship event ceremony?"

4 PM on Friday afternoon, there was no empty seats in the auditorium.

Management of the school, management of Oushi, and the six students who were awarded scholarships gave their speeches one by one and the ceremony moved onto the award section.

In the middle of the podium, under the sparkling lights, stood Chi Ying right in the center.

She had on a pony tail. She was pure, pretty, with a very warming smile.

All of the male students in the audiences stared at Chi Ying without blinking and all the girls were getting anxious.

As Lu JingYan has yet to show up, Oushi's management, who had given the speech earlier, were all middle-aged men with white hair and well experienced voices.

The middle-aged men handed the award to the winners of the second and third prizes before the host announced excitedly, "And now, Lu JingYan, the CEO of Oushi will be handing over the award to our number one winner, Classmate Chi Ying..."

Lu JingYan, in his full suit, walked on state with the crystal trophy, walked onto the stage to hand that over to Chi Ying.

Deafening cheering noises resounded inside the auditorium.

"OOOOOOH. Lu JingYan is so tall, so handsome, and so gentlemanly!!!"

"OOOMMGGG! Is this for real??? Why isn' tit me???"

"Are they going to do candle light dinner??? OOHH MMMYY GOOOODDDD!!!"

"Oh shoot. Why do I feel that the most popular CEO is going to steal our school flower??!! AARRGGHHH!!"

Even when Chi Ying was standing on the award podium Lu JingYan was still taller than her.

Chi Ying looked up slightly.

Lu JingYan's skin was very good and his feature very handsome under the spotlights.

He handed the trophy to her and said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Congratulations."

Chi Ying thought she might be able to turn down dinner but, low and behold, as soon as the award ceremony was over, she was sent over to a western style restaurant by the upper management of the university.

As opposed to the excitement among the students at the film academy, the atmosphere here was much duller and more suppressed.

Li Jinyuan said to her, "It's okay to relax a little."

Chi Ying's mouth was shut down and she didn't say a word.

"I felt that you look very familiar. Like someone I had once known."

Chi Ying shook her head and said in a very distant tone, "If I must say, I have seen you on TV before."

"You left school for four years. Four year ago, you were a junior at the film academy and attended a banquet."

Chi Ying twisted the corner of her shirt and said, "I have been to many banquets. I don't remember."

"Chi Ying." Lu JingYan's Adam's apple rolled around. He asked her with difficulty. "That was you four years ago, wasn't it?"

Chi Ying had a surprised look on her like she had just heard an anecdotal story. Puzzled, she gave him a pure and innocent look.

Lu JingYan frowned.

"So?" said Chi Ying calmly. "If you are so sure that it was me, why asked me?"

Chi Ying saw Lu JingYan beamed up all of a sudden. She could almost read joy in his eyes.

She didn't think that he would be so stuck on that one crazy night.
