The Stars In Your Eyes

"Yutang.."

The delicate voice of Feng Mian echoed in the hall. It made several heads turn to see the Goddess that will graduate soon. After she graduates, they won't have the chance to see her in this hall again.

These people saw their Goddess running in a small step, wearing a knee length light pink dress made from wool. It had a wide sleeve, covering her whole neck. Give the sensation of a cute maiden, pure and vibrant. Her motions were all graceful, and greatly heightened by the expression of her countenance.

All the people who familiarly acquainted with Feng Mian had to admit that no one who was equal to her in beauty of person, dignity of manners, elegance of dress, brilliant of intelligence, and in short all that is lovely and finished in the female person. Such as she was the economic Goddess.

Even with so many freshmen in economic faculty these past few years, Feng Mian's position as the economic Goddess is unrivalled. In T university, where the students are the chosen one, it's very rare to see this deadly combination. The girls admire and imitate her style.

There's even a forum that specially photographed her from far and discussed her style. These people are really talented to become a paparazzi. Maybe the forum administrator is a broadcasting and mass communication faculty student.

For the boys, it was not exaggerated to say that they put her as their white moonlight. Their Goddess, who they could admire but seems impossible to possess.

And they looked at the skinny man enviously, when they saw their Goddess's expression. Her milky white skin brightened, her captivating eyes sparkled, her alluring lips curved slightly. 

"Yutang, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?"

Dozens of ears perked up high to listen to her.

"I just visited the administration office for my scholarship's documents."

"Do you want to go to the cafeteria too? Can I come with you? Fei Hong said she was already there with Yuxuan."

Who is this man? They never saw this goddess who always looked kind but unreachable, bashfully smiling and battering her eyelashes like a butterfly flapping her wings. 

All they can see is this insignificant skinny man, who wears a brown jacket over a black sweater, weirdly smiling and just nods his head with a stiff expression.

It's impossible for this man to be their Goddess's chosen one, right? If this man is truly her chosen one, all of the boys here will bite their nails and pull their hair, regretting why they never took a step to approach the Goddess. If this kind of man can move her heart, all of them can too! They definitely look better compared to this ordinary man with a very ordinary face.

Someone, please tell us who this man is? This is a perfect time for the broadcasting student to photograph this man and give them the information they needed. How could this kind of ordinary man walk beside their Goddess? Chat with her leisurely. Truly unacceptable!

Even that rich bastard from the business management faculty was pitifully rejected. That bastard's face is a hundred times better compared to this plain man. They thought, if that kind of man can't conquer their Goddess, who else can? They thought none of these humble students here could achieve that. 

Their Goddess could only be matched with a handsome rich gentleman who dote on her like the most valuable treasure in the world. How could they accept if their Goddess chose this kind of man who could be picked in the streets everyday?

Feng Mian happily walked beside her white moonlight. She was hoping to meet Bai Yutang in the cafeteria, but she was lucky today. It must be a fate between them, for when she walked out from the administration office she could meet this man she dreamed about.

"Yutang, you promised me to teach me how to cook that lemon chicken. When can we start? Can you teach me after I defend my thesis?"

"Umm.."

Feng Mian looked at her white moonlight who shyly lowered his head and couldn't answer her clearly. It's okay, she doesn't mind to be the one who keeps talking.

"I'll defend my thesis on January 4th. Can you come and cheer me on? And you can teach me how to cook after that."

Bai Yutang really didn't have the heart to reject her request bluntly. Somehow, every time he saw Feng Mian act like this, it reminded him of his own sister. But he also remembers his lover's expression this past two days. Since Christmas Eve's dinner last Saturday, his lover's face ashen and didn't respond to him like he used to. His lover gave him a cold shoulder.

It actually angered him too. He was already trying to appease his lover's bad mood, but his lover was still mad at him. It was not his fault that his friends tried to match him with Feng Mian. He already stated he doesn't want to have any relationship, and he also rejected Feng Mian's requests many times before. What else could he do? Announcing his relationship to Jian Kang Lu to the whole world? His lover himself told him a few months ago that it was not very wise.

And Bai Yutang also read in the internet forum, the bad experience of the people who choose to come out from the closet in university life. They strongly advise not to announce it unless you really have a strong mentality and don't mind people shouting bad words to you.

One of unknown man in the forum write his story, how his professor failed him because he was gay, and how his class mate calling him fag every single day. Some even said very horrible things to him, which made Bai Yutang shudder. He can't believe people could be this cruel.

And this man also wrote, if he could turn back time, he wouldn't publicly announce that he had a boyfriend. A few months after that, his boyfriend cheated on him and they broke up. In the end of his story, he wrote that it was the most impulsive thing he had ever done, and now he suffered the consequences. He doesn't even have a friend anymore, since all the boys are afraid of him.

Bai Yutang also read in the forum how people encourage them to come out of the closet. They shared their beautiful stories, about how it changed their life, and it was not as bad as you think it will be. Their friends could accept them, and their family also didn't mind.

But after reading so many stories in the forum, there's one thing that made Bai Yutang really can't say that he had a relationship with Jian Kang Lu. He was afraid, if people knew that he was a cutsleeve, his scholarship would be cancelled.

Bai Yutang decided to announce their relationship to his friends once he graduated. When he doesn't have any worries about his scholarship anymore.

"So? Can you spare your time to teach me cooking?"

Feng Mian's voice dragged his wandering mind back to the hall. The bustling hall was full with the students, and Bai Yutang could sense these people staring at them with curiosity.

He sighed, and answered with a neutral tone. "I'm really sorry, but I will have my final exams in the second week of January. And after that i will go back to my hometown. So I don't think I can spare my time to teach you to cook that lemon chicken."

Feng Mian's dispirited face could be seen clearly after she heard that rejection. She tried to plaster her smile, and said, "It's okay. I understand..."

They walked in an awkward silence, but then Feng Mian asked him again. Her voice was full of hope, but it was very soft and trembling. As if she was afraid, Bai Yutang will reject her sincere request once more.

"Can you teach me after you came back from your hometown?"

Bai Yutang really feels that he'll be a heartless person if he rejects her request this time. So he nodded with a heavy heart. 

'It will do no harm just to teach her. I could also invite Mu Xiaoya and Yu Dong, so it won't be just the two of us.'

Bai Yutang was determined not to give any hope and chance to Feng Mian. But he doesn't want to do it in a ruthless way. He knows how it hurts to be rejected so bluntly.

"That's great! I promised you, I'll be your diligent student, even though I can't cook well, but I'm not that bad."

Feng Mian's delighted voice filled with happiness when she saw Bai Yutang finally accept her request. 

"I tasted your stir-fried tofu before, it was really tasty. How do you learn to cook? From your mother?"

Feng Mian kept asking him questions, just like before. She always tries to converse with him, and Bai Yutang answers her questions in short answers, like always.

They arrived in the cafeteria, and their friends waved their hands to them. Tang Yuxuan and Liu Xiang grinned to see them walking together. And once again, they teased both of them, hoping this two person could be a couple soon. Hoping that Bai Yutang will stop being stubborn and accept her sincere feelings for him.
