The Most Beautiful Girl on Campus Invited Me to Dinner

"Your WeChat friend gave you ten million? Who is it?" Wu Xiaofei asked, more curious than ever.

"Chen Yuan, the guy who asked me for my WeChat this morning!"

"It's him? He's the one behind the name 'Lonely Smoke'? Damn!"

Wu Xiaofei was shocked! She never expected that the seemingly reserved and introverted guy was actually a big spender online.

In fact, Wu Xiaofei had considered a few rich second-generation types who had pursued Zhao Yiqi before, but Chen Yuan was definitely not on that list. After all, Chen Yuan was notorious on campus as a doormat!

Zhao Yiqi might not follow campus gossip closely, but Wu Xiaofei did. She was well-informed about the campus scene!

For a doormat like Chen Yuan to be a big spender who casually throws ten million on gifts? It was hard to believe!

"Yiqi, are you sure it's Chen Yuan and not someone else?"

"Why? Do you know him?" Zhao Yiqi asked.

"Well, not personally. I've heard that Chen Yuan is a third-year student in our department. He's been pursuing a girl named Lin Shitong for three years.

He'd do things like delivering breakfast to her dorm, confessing every month, lighting candles, arranging heart shapes, singing love songs, and giving various small gifts. But Lin Shitong never accepted him!"

What Wu Xiaofei didn't know was that Chen Yuan had already won over Lin Shitong a month ago. However, Lin Shitong asked him to keep a low profile, forbidding him from posting on social media or flaunting their relationship. Hence, not many people knew about their relationship.

"Really? Chen Yuan is so rich and not bad looking. How could someone like him, who seems so outstanding, not win her over after three years?" Zhao Yiqi was puzzled.

Lin Shitong, whom Zhao Yiqi had met before, was pretty, but not exceptionally unique. There were many girls at school who were prettier or more accomplished.

But Chen Yuan, with his impressive wealth and willingness to spend ten million on gifts, was far beyond the reach of the typical rich second-generation. Few of them could afford to spend such sums on gifts.

"Ah, I get it now. Chen Yuan probably didn't win Lin Shitong over because he was pretending to be poor. He might be hiding his true identity and even worked part-time as a delivery person to keep his wealth a secret.

I've heard that some wealthy people have unusual habits. They prefer to seek genuine love rather than have a girl be with them just for their money.

So, the prince pretends to be a frog, and the rich guy pretends to be a poor guy. Chen Yuan must be one of those!"

Wu Xiaofei, a fan of online novels with a vivid imagination, speculated.

"Is that really the case? I guess he must be disappointed and decided to stop pretending!" Zhao Yiqi nodded in agreement.

She suddenly felt that this guy was truly excellent and considerate. For the girl he liked, he was willing to make such significant efforts and sacrifices. A rich heir, willing to do such unglamorous jobs for three years just to touch her heart, was incredibly romantic!

Sometimes, people are strange. When a wealthy heir works part-time as a delivery person, it seems like he's made a huge effort. But when an ordinary student does the same, it feels normal and unremarkable.

Zhao Yiqi, a goddess in the eyes of ordinary students, was just another student after all. She also admired men who seemed even more 'exceptional.'

To her, Chen Yuan seemed quite impressive.

"Xiaofei, how should I thank him? He gave me ten million worth of gifts, and my follower count has increased by tens of thousands. I feel overwhelmed by such a big gift!" Zhao Yiqi felt a bit anxious.

"In my opinion, that guy must be seriously interested in you. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so generous. But Yiqi, you must stay firm and not let yourself be easily swayed."

"I understand!"

Zhao Yiqi nodded and then texted Chen Yuan:

"Chen Yuan, thank you so much for the gifts. I really feel bad about it. How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow at 6:30 PM to show my gratitude?"

"What? The campus goddess is inviting me to dinner?"

Chen Yuan was a bit stunned. He never expected that Zhao Yiqi, a prominent figure on campus, would invite him to dinner!

This was the vice president of the student union, the first beauty of the literature department, and the second most beautiful girl at Hu University. Ordinary students wouldn't even dare to pursue her. At most, they would secretly admire her.

And now, she was inviting him to dinner?

"Sure, it would be an honor to have dinner with Zhao Yiqi!"

Chen Yuan quickly replied.

"Alright, it's set then. See you at 6:30 PM at the east gate of the school. Don't be late!"

"I'll make sure to spoil you!"

"Haha, bring it on. My family owns a restaurant, so eat as much as you like."

Zhao Yiqi replied quickly, showing no hesitation even in joking with Chen Yuan.

On the surface, Zhao Yiqi gave the impression of being a graceful and reserved young lady. But underneath, she seemed to be a lively and talkative girl.

As they chatted, Chen Yuan found it hard to keep up with her pace. For every message he sent, she would respond with two or three.

Thinking back to his previous attempts to message Lin Shitong, where he would send ten messages and receive only one reply, hours later, he felt quite disheartened. He had deceived himself into believing that persistent efforts would eventually make Lin Shitong notice his sincerity. But reality had repeatedly proven him wrong. A man who doesn't improve himself is ultimately just a doormat in her eyes.

"Hey, stop playing on your phone. Come join us for a game. We need a support player to rank up to gold!" Zhou Haiquan called out.

"Forget it. I know your skill level. After seven years of playing, you're still stuck in silver. You want to rank me up to gold? I'd rather not!" Chen Yuan rolled his eyes.

"We're different from other regions. Our silver is top-notch. If it weren't for my teammates being so terrible, I wouldn't still be in silver after seven years!"

"Not interested. I'm chatting with the campus goddess!"

"Yeah, right!"

The next day at 6:30 PM.

At the east gate of Hu University.

A girl wearing a white mid-length shirt and white sneakers, with her hair in a ponytail, had been waiting there for more than ten minutes.

Many students passed by, but this girl's attractiveness was off the charts. Even other girls couldn't help but glance back repeatedly. Her slender and beautiful legs were captivating. Although her outfit was simple, it showcased her perfect figure and exuded youthful vitality.

When boys saw her, they couldn't help but be spellbound!

"Who is this girl? She's so incredibly beautiful!"

"Don't you recognize her? She's Zhao Yiqi, the vice president of the student union, the head of the dance club, and one of the top three beauties at our school!"

"So, it's Zhao Yiqi! Looks like she's waiting for someone!"
