Although puzzled, Qiao Ze shook his head and said honestly, "No."
Su Mucheng stared at Qiao Ze and pressed on, "Then what kind of girl do you like?"
Qiao Ze thought for a moment, then shook his head again, saying, "I haven't thought about it."
Su Mucheng wrinkled her delicate nose, tilted her head, and asked, "But you can be certain you're not into guys, right?"
Qiao Ze answered earnestly, "Yes."
Instantly, Su Mucheng's face relaxed, breaking into a radiant smile. She reached out with her fair little hand and said, "Let's start over. My name is Su Mucheng, the class representative of Basic Mathematics Class 1. On behalf of our class, I welcome you, new student Qiao Ze."
Qiao Ze hesitated for a moment but extended his hand politely and gently shook hands with Su Mucheng, saying, "Thank you."

"Exactly!" Gu Zhengliang chimed in sourly.
This was a scenario he had not anticipated.
