You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

The sun was shining brightly today, and everyone took the opportunity to come out and relax.

Since entering university, having shed the immaturity and tension of high school, Lu Yuan and his friends' mindset has naturally changed drastically, even their attitude towards traveling has become completely different.

"Lu Yuan, are you getting used to the food at school?" As they walked, Ye Yixian couldn't help but turn her head and ask Lu Yuan with concern.

"It's alright, the food in the cafeteria is pretty good." Lu Yuan nodded, then asked in return, "What's wrong, Yi Xian? Are you not used to the food at university?"

"No, no, no. I'm not a picky eater." Ye Yixian quickly waved her hand to explain, but her eyes were unusually serious. "I was just worried that you wouldn't like the food. I was thinking that if I saw anything delicious, I would buy some for you to take back with you."

In her mind, Lu Yuan was the only son in the family, and he was spoiled since childhood, so he was naturally particular about his food, drink and daily necessities.

Now that it's Lu Yuan's first time living independently away from home, she's afraid he'll suffer any injustice.

Ye Yixian had been wild since childhood, and was content as long as she had food to eat. Because she had experienced the taste of making do, she was even more unwilling to have any sense of hardship in Lu Yuan's life.

She wanted to do everything she could to make Lu Yuan's future better because of her presence.

Lu Yuan keenly noticed the worry in her eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He didn't answer immediately, but leaned slightly closer to look into her eyes and asked gently, "So, what delicious food are you planning to buy for me?"

"Uh... I haven't decided yet." Ye Yixian felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, but her tone remained firm. "We can go ahead and take a look. If you see something you like, I'll buy it for you."

Seeing her serious expression, Lu Yuan couldn't help but tease her, "Did you bring enough money?"

"Don't worry, I have money!" Ye Yixian raised her chin, patting her small handbag with a hint of undisguised pride. Her wallet was inside. "I've saved up my summer job wages and bonuses. It's enough to buy you lots of delicious food."

"You only buy for me, but you don't buy for yourself?"

"I don't need it," Ye Yixian said confidently, patting his chest. "I can eat whatever's available at school, and I think it's quite delicious and affordable."

She wasn't just accommodating Lu Yuan; she genuinely felt the cafeteria food was delicious.

For her, who had experienced hardship in the past, the hot meals in the canteen were already rare delicacies.

Lu Yuan looked at her, smiled, and reached out to ruffle her hair.

I am both pleased with her maturity and heartbroken by her past experiences.

He said softly, "Then let's go shopping and buy whatever we like."

"Okay!" Ye Yixian smiled happily and naturally took Lu Yuan's arm, playing the role of a considerate girlfriend perfectly on this weekend afternoon.

Wang Qingyu, walking behind them, looked at them with envy in her eyes.

She secretly glanced at Gao Zhe walking beside her, repeatedly considering whether or not to take his hand.

She even came up with an excuse, saying she was afraid of getting lost while traveling.

Given Gao Zhe's personality, he probably wouldn't abandon her.

Just as she took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself to reach out, Gao Zhe suddenly quickened his pace.

Gao Zhe spotted a sporting goods store not far away and walked straight over, not forgetting to turn back and call out, "Brother Yuan, these sneakers are nice! You should try them on!"

This store mainly sells sporting goods, and he was probably the only one who was interested in them.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan said to the two girls, "Gao Zhe and I will choose here. You two go and wander around the neighborhood. Just come back to us later."

The two girls weren't really interested in these things, and since they also wanted to find a place to talk about private matters, they nodded in agreement and went to wander around the neighborhood first.

Inside the store, Lu Yuan accompanied Gao Zhe as he picked out shoes.

The two chatted casually about their experiences at university over the past few days.

There are several classmates from No. 1 Middle School in Jiangbei College, but they are not very familiar with each other; at most, they just feel that the faces are familiar.

The tuition fees for second-tier universities are often three to four times that of first-tier universities. In the eyes of many people, these universities are somewhat awkward. They are nominally better than junior colleges, but in reality, it is difficult to determine their quality, and their tuition fees are ridiculously high.

Many people who get into a second-tier university would rather retake the exam than settle for less.

This results in most students coming from well-off or even wealthy families who don't care about tuition fees, which inevitably leads to some competitive mentality among classmates.

Gao Zhe wanted to buy new sneakers because his roommate casually mentioned that his shoes weren't new enough.

In principle, Lu Yuan did not want Gao Zhe to get involved in this kind of pointless comparison, but considering that spending a few hundred yuan on a pair of shoes would not be too much of a financial burden for him, he let him have his way.

Lu Yuan found a seat near the store entrance and sat down, fiddling with his phone.

A short while later, several figures blocked the sunlight outside the door, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw several people stop beside him.

Lu Yuan looked up and saw several familiar faces in front of him.

"Gu Xingzhou?"

He recognized them; they were Gu Xingzhou and his roommates.

"Oh, Lu Yuan, what a coincidence?" Gu Xingzhou smiled and said with feigned surprise, "I didn't expect to run into you while hanging out on the weekend."

"Hehe, yes, it's quite a coincidence." Lu Yuan said calmly.

This street is located within the university town area and is one of the busiest areas, so it's perfectly normal to bump into classmates from the same university.

Along the way, Lu Yuan saw many familiar faces. Although he couldn't recall their names, he could generally recognize that they were from the same school.

"Are you all alone?" Gu Xingzhou looked around and found that Lu Yuan was sitting there alone, and none of his roommates were there either.

They lived in room 107 next to Lu Yuan's, and they must have seen Wu Kun and the other two who hadn't come out to play before they went out.

"I..." Lu Yuan was about to speak when Gao Zhe finished picking out the shoes and came out.

Seeing Gu Xingzhou and his group, Gao Zhe was a little puzzled. "Brother Yuan, who are they?"

"My classmate," Lu Yuan replied casually.

Gu Xingzhou originally thought Lu Yuan was alone and was thinking of finding an opportunity to openly and indirectly mock him for being alone and not respected by the class.

After all, Gu Xingzhou had already become familiar with most of the students in his class since he had just entered university, while Lu Yuan, as the class monitor, was not invited out to play by anyone on weekends, which inevitably made him seem isolated.

Such a person is not a good class monitor. If he is not respected and does not gain support, he will likely be removed from his position as class monitor after military training.

After all, he's only acting class monitor right now.

But to his surprise, a tall boy was standing next to Lu Yuan. If he rashly mocked him, he would probably get what's coming to him.

"What are you doing out here?" Lu Yuan broke the silence.

Gu Xingzhou paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "It's the weekend, so I came out for a walk and got familiar with the area. I also wanted to buy some sunscreen and stuff; military training starts next week."

"You're quite dramatic," Lu Yuan couldn't help but tease.

Gu Xingzhou is clearly the kind of refined boy who cares a lot about his image, so it's not surprising that he has this kind of plan.

"It's not being dramatic. Military training means being exposed to the scorching sun, and I don't want to end up with a charcoal briquette." Gu Xingzhou said, his tone becoming smug. "The senior I just added yesterday shared a lot of military training tips with me. Lu Yuan, do you want me to share some with you too?"

His face was filled with undisguised pride.

Several female seniors were willing to add him as a friend, which in itself is enough to prove his popularity. Even his roommates admired him greatly.

After all, not everyone has a talent for pursuing girls.

"No need." Lu Yuan saw through his desire to show off at a glance and chuckled, "I never have a senior sister to share these things with me. But I'm a rough person, so sunbathing won't hurt me."

"How can that be?" Gu Xingzhou persisted. "The sun is so strong, you'll definitely get tanned after a few days. The senior girls prefer guys with fairer skin."

"What does it have to do with me that the senior students like fair skin?" Lu Yuan asked casually, feigning ignorance.

Gu Xingzhou was momentarily speechless. He couldn't very well admit that he was doing it to pursue his senior, could he?

Besides, even having fair skin doesn't guarantee you'll get a boyfriend.

"In short, I'm just reminding you that you're a college student now, so pay attention to your appearance, or it'll be hard to find a girlfriend." Gu Xingzhou continued with a smug look on his face, "Don't you know Xu Lingjing? I added her as a friend a couple of days ago, and she said you pursued her back in high school."

He paused, a hint of mockery in his voice: "Haha, it's understandable that you didn't succeed. After all, she's so beautiful, and you don't even take care of yourself."

Gu Xingzhou spoke eloquently, deliberately emphasizing his connection with Xu Lingjing, and publicly revealing that Lu Yuan had once pursued Xu Lingjing.

He did this simply to prove one thing to everyone: Lu Yuan is not as charming as Gu Xingzhou.
