Chapter 535 - Let Me Sing a Song for You!
In the high-speed railway station of Jiangjing.
With his backpack on his back, Fang Qiu wearing a cap and a mask walked out of the station alone.
This time, Fang Qiu kept a particularly low profile. He had half of his face masked and dressed like an ordinary student, so he didn’t attract anyone’s attention all the way.
It should be noted that Fang Qiu was treated completely differently in Jiangjing than in other places.
After all, he was a student at the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, so the Jiangjing people’s fondness for him was much stronger than that of the people in other cities. Naturally, a lot of people in Jiangjing liked him very much.
Obviously, the number of Fang Qiu’s fans in Jiangjing was the largest!
This was also the reason why Fang Qiu kept his face masked. If he didn’t keep a low profile, he might not even be able to get out of the high-speed railway station.
He went out of the station and got on a taxi.
Even the taxi driver did not seem to pay extra attention to Fang Qiu.
However, as soon as he returned to the university and crossed the school gate, Fang Qiu’s careful disguise was immediately exposed.
“Fang Qiu?”
The moment Fang Qiu stepped into the school gate, a student coming up to him greeted him with a pair of gleaming eyes and said, “You are Fang Qiu, aren’t you?”
Fang Qiu shook his head hurriedly.
“Stop denying.”
The student giggled and remarked, “Except for you, who else in the university wears a mask at ordinary times? And judging from the way you walk, who else can you be except Fang Qiu?”
Fang Qiu shook his head again, ready to stride past the student.
“Hey, don’t go!”
Desperate, the student immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, “Fang Qiu is back!”
The shout swept the place quickly.
Those students, who were passing by, enjoying the cool under the shade of trees, reading books, and reciting English words, put down what they were doing at once. They turned around simultaneously and saw a person who was wrapped up like a star. Without saying a word, all of them rushed over and surrounded him.
“Sh*t!”
Fang Qiu broke into a run.
But before he could take a few steps, a group of classmates showed up in front of him and barred his way.
Obviously, these people had hurtled there as soon as they heard the shout. But it did not occur to them that they would accidentally block Fang Qiu’s way.
Now, there were interceptors at the front and pursuers at the back.
Fang Qiu smiled a hollow smile helplessly.
Just as he was considering whether to use some martial arts to run away, the students around him had already closed in on him.
“Is he really Fang Qiu?”
“Sure he is! Hurry up and take off your cap and mask.”
“Exactly. The university is a big family. We are your family. What else is there to hide from us?”
“Mask off! Hat off!”
Everyone spoke out.
Without any alternative, Fang Qiu could only take off his cap.
Everyone took a look and found that it was indeed Fang Qiu’s hairstyle!
Then, he took off his mask, too.
When the mask was taken off, the large group of students around him immediately roared with excitement.
“Fang Qiu, please sign your name for me.”
“Can I take a picture with you?”
“Fang Qiu, I love you!”
All kinds of cried and shouts were heard nonstop.
The originally quiet school gate was now boisterous.
As the gate of the university was blocked, the news of Fang Qiu’s return spread throughout the campus. Students who heard the news also raced to the gate of the university to take a good look at Fang Qiu, the big star as well as the mascot of UJCM!
Shortly, more and more people came to watch the scene.
At first, Fang Qiu, though was surrounded, still had some room for him to head forward. After all, there were not many people at that time. But now, so many people had crowded together that it was difficult for him to go one step further.
Under such circumstances, Fang Qiu felt very helpless.
Now, he could only force his way out with martial arts.
Yet, once he displayed martial arts, the mysterious identity as John Doe he had kept so long would definitely be exposed. And by that time, it would be even more impossible for him to walk around the university freely.
Listening to the rowdy shouts, Fang Qiu suddenly had an idea.
“Quiet, everyone.”
Holding up a hand, Fang Qiu suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Why not let me sing a song for you all? Everyone, move backward a little.”
Upon hearing that, the students were stunned.
“How could there be such a bargain?”
Fang Qiu’s singing was quite famous on campus. Not only in the university but also on the Internet, his singing was praised by many people. He had even been invited to Song Yaqi’s concert as a special guest.
Moreover, with Fang Qiu’s current popularity, the gymnasium must be full in minutes if he held a concert there.
Therefore, it was indeed a big deal to hear Fang Qiu’s singing alive.
Besides, as the network was so well-developed today, anyone who recorded the video of Fang Qiu’s on-site singing and post it on the Internet would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Tempted by the prospect, the students around Fang Qiu immediately retreated one after another.
“Well, the students behind me, please also go to the front, for you can’t see my handsome face at the rear,” Fang Qiu suggested.
Hearing his words, the crowd burst into laughter.
At this moment, they felt that Fang Qiu was not the prestigious big star that they had imagined, but the ordinary classmate they knew in the past.
In the midst of laughter, the crowd backed away. The students who had been standing behind Fang Qiu also went to the front. They even sat down on the ground, as though the drill masters had organized an entertainment during the freshmen’s military training.
Seeing that the students were so cooperative, Fang Qiu snickered.
“Hem, hem…”
Fang Qiu cleared his throat and began to sing. “I’m dying to escape, but I can’t. Giving you up is the most painful suffering. I’m dying to escape, to hold you for one more second. I’m dying to escape…”
Fang Qiu took a few steps backward as he sang.
When the first line was finished, he was already six or seven meters away from all the students. Fang Qiu did not dare to hesitate anymore. He immediately whipped around and ran flat-out.
Seeing this, the audience, who had been quietly enjoying the singing, were all thrown into a daze.
At first, they thought that Fang Qiu was just performing. By stumbling backward, he made the audience feel the heart-broken song. But now they understood that Fang Qiu did not do it for the show at all but really wanted to escape!
“Good heavens! Fang Qiu, how could an upright and honest man like you run away like this?”
“Fang Qiu, you really let us down. How dare you fool us!”
“I can’t stand it anyway!”
“Chase after him!”
In a moment, all the students got to their feet and sprinted after Fang Qiu.
A while later, they realized that they could by no means catch up with him because Fang Qiu was really fast.
Like a streak of smoke, he was completely out of sight.
At this precise moment, it occurred to the crowd that Fang Qiu was the guy who could even overtake the track team. So, how could they, a group of ordinary students who were extremely reluctant to exercise, catch up with him?
On the other side of the campus.
“Stop right there!”
After finally getting rid of the students chasing after him, Fang Qiu was blocked by a man before he could run far away.
He looked up to see who the man was.
That was a gentleman in his 30s, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses and a suit.
“Secretary Li?”
Fang Qiu was taken aback.
Wasn’t the person in front of him the secretary of Vice President, Chen Yinsheng?
This man had been in the university all the time, but he seldom showed his face in front of students and was mainly in charge of arranging Chen Yinsheng’s meetings and schedules.
It took Fang Qiu by surprise.
Today, he actually came to meet him in person.
“Yes, I am.”
Looking at Fang Qiu, Secretary Li smiled and said, “Vice President wants to see you.”
“Okay, I’ll go now.”
Fang Qiu nodded at once.
“Great.
I can take this opportunity to hide from all those students.
After all, who will dare to go after me when I’m in the Vice President’s office?”
Fang Qiu then ran all the way to the office building.
Fang Qiu soon came to the office of Vice President.
On the way, he met a lot of students, and many recognized him and tried to catch him. But when they saw him enter the office of Vice President, they all reluctantly turned around and left.
“Vice President, are you looking for me?” asked Fang Qiu as he walked into the office.
“Haha.”
At the sight of Fang Qiu, Chen Yinsheng immediately cracked up. “You are really worthy of the title of the best student in our university. I really admire what you have done this time. Of course, I have to congratulate you on your success.”
“It’s nothing.”
Fang Qiu grinned, then asked, “Sir, you can’t have asked me to come here just to say these things, can you?”
“Of course not.”
Chen Yinsheng shook his head and teased, “Am I that bored?”
Fang Qiu scratched his head and answered, “Well, not at all, really.”
“Well, have a seat.”
Chen Yinsheng stood up and pointed to the sofa in the office, motioning for Fang Qiu to sit down. At the same time, he also came out from behind the desk, walked to the sofa, and took a seat.
“Actually, I have something to discuss with you.”
Chen Yinsheng poured a cup of water for Fang Qiu and said, “Here it is. You know that the minimum passing score of our TCM college has been fairly low, so the students that we have recruited in recent years are all mostly average. Very few top students come to our school, except for you.”
At the sound of this, Fang Qiu immediately felt a little abashed.
Compliments from Vice President were a rare thing.
“This year’s college entrance examination is already over, and you’ll also be entering the sophomore year. There will be a group of freshmen in the next term, who will be your junior fellow students. I hope that we can find some top talents in this enrollment.”
By this point, Chen Yinsheng gently pushed the newly-filled cup to Fang Qiu and added, “I’m saying this because I want to invite you and Jiang Miaoyu to be our school’s image ambassadors for this year’s recruitment. What do you think?”
“Image ambassadors?”
While pondering over the issue, Fang Qiu kept nodding to himself.
He, of course, hoped that there could be more talents studying Chinese Medicine.
“What can I do for the university if I agree?” asked Fang Qiu curiously.
He did not know exactly what an image ambassador had to do, so he inquired.
“Not for the time being.”
Chen Yinsheng shook his head and said with a smile, “If possible, I’ll ask you to help with the off-line consultation. Of course, it won’t take you too much time.”
Chen Yinsheng knew it very well that Fang Qiu was a person who had very stringent time management.
Moreover, Fang Qiu also had to participate in the filming of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor and fulfill all kinds of other schedules.
“Oh, by the way.”
As if having thought of something, Chen Yinsheng swiftly stood up, went to the desk, fished out an envelope from a drawer, and handed it to Fang Qiu. He said, “Here is the invitation from the World Health Organization. Take it.”
“Um?”
Fang Qiu was confused.
“You don’t know?”
Chen Yinsheng was also nonplussed.
“I have no idea.”
Shaking his head, Fang Qiu took the invitation envelope, opened it, and found that it was an invitation for the medical conference of the World Health Organization. The one being invited was Fang Qiu. The letter invited him to a meeting that would be held in the U.S. on August 10.
