Chapter 556: 556

”Eh? Genius Han actually took it upon himself to contact me? I am so terrified! My idol has reached out this humble fan?” Zhao Youyue said it mockingly, even though her tone could have convinced any learned onlooker . It was the material of Oscars .

Some guys actually fancied such girls, as they found such personalities cute, even if it was weird to others .

Han Leng was as clueless as a clueless chick magnet could ever be . He behaved just like how he did when he visited cafes with Zhao Youyue during their high school years . He only knew how to talk about literature, without touching on any of his inner thoughts . Such an act was so well done that even the perceptive Zhao Youyue was utterly convinced that he had no interest in her .

Looking at it from another perspective, Han Leng was quite an actor himself . If he were to expose his inner thoughts, would he still be able to remain friends with Lady Zhao?

Those who maintained their supposed friends.h.i.+ps after confessing to each other were lying to themselves . The awkwardness would snuff out the relations.h.i.+p .

”Milady! Now is not the time to joke about! Your reputation would go up in smoke if you don't do anything about it!” Han Leng said in hushed worry .

It was mid-day, and the two of them met in a library . Han Leng had dressed in such an odd fas.h.i.+on that concealed his face; as if he was afraid that someone would find out that he had been able to ask the ”Military War G.o.ddess,” the ”Flower of the School” Zhao Youyue out .

Ever since he became famous, he always met with Zhao Youyue in all sorts of disguises . It annoyed Zhao Youyue, but it also drew her merciless teasing .

Han Leng had maintained that it was simply the burden of being a celebrity . It may seem that he treated his female fans harshly, but it was a tactic that made use of the fetishes of others .

He could not mislead others into thinking that he was no longer without a girlfriend - it would shatter the image that he had worked so hard to build . His current character was doing its job well . Who cared if his writing was haphazard, they would still buy it .

Han Leng had even exaggerated about having many female fans, and how some of them were beautiful and talented . As long as he remained single, he would be able to hit on his female fans . Such was the dream life of a writer .

Zhao Youyue was genuinely neutral about that and remained calm . However, for an instant, she felt that the old Han Leng was cuter .

Han Leng's words and actions earned Zhao Youyue's full trust . He was the only person not fooled by that endless string of lies - he did not want to trouble her .

He felt that he had become that ”friend A . ” The only difference being that friend A in novels was the main character, and he was not .

Creators functioned like so . Painfully aware that they were not the main characters, they would reimagine a new world that altered the reality of that fact .

Reality was always cruel, fantasy was warm and welcoming .

Zhao Youyue heard what Han Leng said, and smiled while replying ”My reputation does not mean anything . I did not count on my reputation to earn my spot here anyway . How about you hurry up before your reputation runs out?”
