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

In fact, Gu Xingzhou had to beg and plead to add Xu Lingjing as a friend, and after that, Xu Lingjing was not very willing to reply to the messages he sent.

It was basically a polite reply from a classmate, without any enthusiasm.

The information that Lu Yuan had pursued Xu Lingjing came from Xu Lingjing's roommate.

Xu Lingjing had probably shared her past with Lu Yuan with her roommates.

Of course, what she said was most likely a embellished version: a tragic story of missed opportunities.

Lu Yuan didn't like comparing himself to others because it was pointless, but Gu Xingzhou seemed to be pushing his luck, which annoyed him.

If Lu Yuan lets things slide today, Gu Xingzhou will definitely become even more reckless in the future.

Allowing him to provoke Lu Yuan would be detrimental to securing his position as class monitor.

Lu Yuan's decision to be in the all-male class wasn't just to serve his classmates; it was also to quickly build connections and embark on his entrepreneurial journey during university.

Yes, Lu Yuan didn't want to simply finish university and get a diploma.

As the saying goes, opportunity favors the prepared mind. In the microcosm of university, opportunities need to be discovered by oneself.

Just as he was pondering how to retaliate against Gu Xingzhou, a clear and melodious female voice suddenly came from outside the shop: "Lu Yuan, is this your classmate?"

Everyone turned to look at the sound and saw Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu returning together.

Gu Xingzhou was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Lu Yuan, who are they...?"

Ye Yixian had already arrived beside Lu Yuan, looking at Gu Xingzhou and his group with curiosity, clearly somewhat wary, fearing that these people might cause trouble for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled and introduced them to Ye Yixian first, saying, "They are all my classmates, from the dorm next door."

"Oh, so it's your classmate."

Ye Yixian smiled with relief, as long as he didn't run into trouble.

Without Lu Yuan needing to introduce her, she naturally took his arm and introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Lu Yuan's girlfriend. It's nice to meet you."

Ye Yixian was very poised and confident at this moment, clearly knowing that such a move would save face for Lu Yuan.

When a man is out in public, his pride is very important. A sensible girl will subconsciously protect her man's reputation and make him look good.

"Girlfriend...?" Gu Xingzhou was stunned, half-believing and half-doubting. "Lu Yuan, you...you actually have a girlfriend?"

Not only Gu Xingzhou, but also his roommate was surprised.

Although Ye Yixian is not as stunning as Xu Lingjing, her temperament has improved, and she looks quite good, enough to catch people's eye.

Especially today, she wore light makeup, which made her look even better.

Even though Gu Xingzhou put so much effort into himself, getting haircuts and skincare, and looking glamorous, he still couldn't find a partner.

"Yeah, is there anything strange about it?" Lu Yuan asked in return.

"this……"

Gu Xingzhou was speechless.

She didn't know what her veiled sarcasm and mockery of Lu Yuan meant.

Lu Yuan may not be as refined as I am, but he has a girlfriend, and they seem to have a very good relationship. My outfit, on the other hand, is a bit flashy and impractical, and I'm just making a fool of myself.

"Lu Yuan, what does your classmate want with you?" Ye Yixian asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing. We just bumped into each other and said hello."

Lu Yuan said with a forced smile, but he could already see that Gu Xingzhou's expression was getting increasingly ugly.

"Oh, I see." Ye Yixian murmured, "Then let's continue shopping later. I saw lots of delicious food over there, I'll buy it for you later."

"Okay. Thank you, honey."

Lu Yuan pinched Ye Yixian's cheek.

"baby……"

Ye Yixian was stunned for a moment, then blushed immediately, quite surprised that Lu Yuan would address her that way.

Although I was very shy in public, I felt incredibly sweet inside.

This display of affection was too much for Gu Xingzhou to handle. He had to find an excuse to escape, otherwise he would have already broken down.

Gu Xingzhou was somewhat embarrassed, but it wasn't all for nothing. At least he knew that Lu Yuan already had a friend, while Xu Lingjing was still single.

He fantasized about what it would be like if he could win over Xu Lingjing. Xu Lingjing was definitely a campus beauty, and if he could get her, everyone would be envious.

It's a foregone conclusion that she will outperform Lu Yuan.

Therefore, Gu Xingzhou began to secretly plan his pursuit of Xu Lingjing.

After the little incident, Gao Zhe had already picked out his favorite new sneakers, and then the four of them went shopping together again.

Gu Xingzhou reminded Lu Yuan that military training often involves being exposed to the sun, and Ye Yixian was much fairer than when they first met, so he couldn't let her get tanned.

So, Lu Yuan took her to buy several brands of sunscreen and told her to apply some whenever she went out in the sun to keep her skin fair and smooth.

Ye Yixian wasn't particularly concerned about her skin, but everyone loves beauty, and since she could become fairer, there was no reason to refuse.

Furthermore, she also hoped to present her most beautiful self to Lu Yuan.

In the few days since starting university, she has seen many girls with excellent temperament and realized that there are so many beautiful women in the world. Being in such an environment, she will definitely subconsciously pay attention to skincare.

It's not about comparing ourselves to others, but about reasonably pursuing a better future.

"Gao Zhe, I want sunscreen too." Seeing Lu Yuan's consideration for Ye Yixian, Wang Qingyu grabbed Gao Zhe's arm with a pitiful look, her kitten-like eyes staring straight at Gao Zhe.

"Don't you have sunscreen?"

Gao Zhe remembered that when he helped Wang Qingyu move her things on the first day of school, he saw that she was wearing sunscreen.

"We're almost out, can you give me some?" she said coquettishly.

"Why don't you just buy it yourself? Why do you need me to deliver it?"

Although Gao Zhe was complaining, he had already started taking action, picking out several brands of sunscreen for Wang Qingyu and asking her, "Are these okay?"

"Yes, yes."

Wang Qingyu was very happy, mainly because these were all gifts from Gao Zhe.

"What a hassle," Gao Zhe still complained, "but since you're my brother, your brother Zhe will just give it to you."

This situation once again proves that Gao Zhe has absolutely no romantic feelings for Wang Qingyu and truly treats her like a brother.

Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian were watching with concern and were really worried for the two of them.

……

The day passed just like that. After having dinner together in the evening, everyone reluctantly parted ways.

Before parting, Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian held hands and went to the bus stop. When they reached a secluded spot, Lu Yuan still kissed Ye Yixian passionately, kissing her so intensely that she couldn't stop.

Unfortunately, the time for parting has truly come.

Seeing each other again next weekend makes this farewell seem less heavy; instead, it's something to look forward to.

Lu Yuan quickly returned to his dormitory, carrying many of the things Ye Yixian had bought for him. As soon as he got back, he shared some with his roommates.

Zhong Daming and Liu Yujie were both there, but Wu Kun was nowhere to be seen. Lu Yuan was very puzzled and asked, "Where's Brother Kun?"

"I heard he went there to salvage his image," Liu Yujie said.

"To salvage their image?"

Lu Yuan was puzzled, and just then, a message came through on his phone.

Lu Yuan glanced at it; it was a message from Xu Lingjing.

Xu Lingjing: [Are you in the dorm? Could you come over and take your roommate back? They scared Ouyang!]
