Chapter 8: So Awkward

Chen Yuan naturally knew Zhao Yuqi. In the entire School of Liberal Arts at Hunan University, few people didn't know her. She was an outstanding woman to an excessive degree. She was not only the vice - president of the Student Union but also the president of the Dance Club. She had served as the host in several art performances. She sang beautifully and held a Grade 10 piano certificate. However, these were not the main points. The main thing was that she was extremely good - looking. In the eyes of many boys, she was even prettier than the popular star Gulina. Before seeing Zhao Yuqi, you might not know what love at first sight was. But after seeing her in person, you really couldn't deceive yourself. Moreover, Zhao Yuqi's family background seemed to be quite extraordinary.

Precisely because of this, there were really not many boys in the school who dared to pursue her. Because you would feel that you were not worthy of her. The halo around Zhao Yuqi was too dazzling!

In fact, Chen Yuan had a clear understanding of his own situation. When he was chasing Lin Shutong before, he felt that he was reaching a bit too high. Zhao Yuqi was someone he didn't even dare to dream of reaching for. But now, it seemed okay to try to court her a little bit? Anyway, it wasn't his own money being spent!

At around 8 a.m., Chen Yuan arrived at the open - class classroom. Today, he was wearing the clothes Xu Lele had bought for him yesterday. His hair wasn't too messy either. It had to be said that Xu Lele had a really good eye. The clothes she picked for Chen Yuan could perfectly bring out Chen Yuan's temperament, making him look fresh and clean.

"Hey! Who is this guy? He's quite handsome. How come I've never seen him before?"

"I don't know, but he looks kind of familiar."

"Chen Yuan? My god, it's really Chen Yuan. Why didn't I notice he was so good - looking before?"

"Actually, Chen Yuan wasn't ugly to begin with. It's just that his hairstyle was too lame before, and his clothes weren't great either. Plus, he was always kneeling downstairs at the girls' dormitory to court Lin Shutong. He gave off a loser vibe. I didn't expect him to change so much after Lin Shutong dumped him!"

"Seems like a breakup can make a person grow up."

A few girls gathered together, chatting and casting glances at Chen Yuan's seat from time to time.

At this moment, Lin Shutong and Sun Rui walked into the classroom hand in hand. These two girls were dressed fashionably and youthfully. Especially Lin Shutong, with a ponytail, white sneakers, and tight - fitting hip - hugging pants that perfectly accentuated her delicate figure, looking youthful and beautiful!

The moment she saw Chen Yuan, she froze for two full seconds. She seemed unable to believe that this slovenly guy could look so good when tidied up a bit!

Lin Shutong: Affection +10

Lin Shutong: Affection +10

Lin Shutong: Affection +10

Chen Yuan was a bit speechless. Just at the first sight of their reunion, Lin Shutong's affection for him increased by 30 points. He had spent three whole years courting her before, but not only did it not make Lin Shutong look at him differently, but she became more and more disgusted with him. Now, just by changing his clothes and looking a bit more handsome, his affection score increased by 30 points? Chen Yuan's mentality was on the verge of breaking. He kind of wanted to curse! Women were really shallow creatures.

A few seconds later, Lin Shutong and Sun Rui sat down in the seats behind Chen Yuan. If it was before, Lin Shutong definitely wouldn't sit so close to him. Even during the period when they were in a relationship, Lin Shutong would try to keep a distance from Chen Yuan. But now, she actually took the initiative to sit behind him!

At this time, several boys around started chatting.

"Did you watch the Shark Live broadcast yesterday? Holy crap, the live - broadcast popularity of Xiaomi'er's live - room broke through 2 billion yesterday. A tycoon tipped 5,000 super - rockets in half an hour. It was just crazy!"

"I didn't watch the live - broadcast yesterday, but I saw the Weibo trending topic this morning. It's just insanely rich!"

"5,000 super - rockets? Isn't that 10 million? You could buy a villa with that much money. Just tipping it to a female streamer like that and getting nothing in return! I can only say that poverty restricts my imagination!"

"Hehe! Do you really think those tycoons are stupid? Do they have so much money that they don't know what to do with it? No one would tip that much money without getting any benefits. It's either a back - door deal or the guild hyping it up. What's so strange about that!"

Hearing the discussions of the classmates around him, Chen Yuan was taken aback. The mysterious tycoon they were talking about was sitting right next to them! He didn't expect that tipping rockets could even make it to the trending topic. It seemed it wasn't in vain! This feeling of being discussed and admired was quite nice. He even wanted to shout out loudly, "I'm done hiding. I'm the mysterious tycoon you're talking about. I'm Lonely Cigarette, haha!" He wondered if saying that would be considered forced showing - off.

At this moment, two more girls walked into the classroom from the door. One of the two girls was dressed in a rather androgynous style, with short hair similar to a boy's, about 1.72 meters tall. The other girl was 1.68 meters tall. The moment she walked into the classroom, more than two hundred students in the large classroom fell silent all at once. Especially the boys, their eyes widened. This girl was not only good - looking but also had a unique charm. She was quite different from ordinary girls. It was like a white swan walking into a group of ugly ducklings. Every move of hers was eye - catching.

"Zhao Yuqi is really beautiful. She doesn't seem to be dressed up much, but she's still stunning."

"She has good skin, a good figure, a beautiful face, and she's also very talented. Such a girl, not only boys but even girls would like her, right?"

"But I heard that Zhao Yuqi has been kept by someone. I saw her getting into a Rolls - Royce with my own eyes last time."

"Mind your own business. Don't spread unfounded rumors!"

The boys' eyes were full of anticipation. They seemed to hope that Zhao Yuqi would sit in the seat next to them. Even if they couldn't be at the same table, being closer to the goddess would be great!

Just at this exciting moment, a handsome and tall boy suddenly stood up. He walked straight up to Zhao Yuqi.

"Chairman Zhao, um... can I add you on WeChat?"

"Damn, Li Jianfeng has such big balls. He actually asked for her contact information to her face!"

"Damn it, I'm not thick - skinned enough. I should have gone first."

For a moment, all the on - looking classmates were waiting for Zhao Yuqi's response. However, before Zhao Yuqi could speak, the short - haired androgynous girl behind her quickly stepped in front of Li Jianfeng.

"What are you doing?"

"Uh... well, my name is Li Jianfeng. I want to apply to join the Student Union. Since Yuqi is the vice - president of the Student Union, I just wanted to ask!" Li Jianfeng explained.

"If you want to join the Student Union, go fill out the application form yourself. Besides, the Student Union recruits new members every year. You haven't joined in three years, and now you seize this opportunity to ask Yuqi for her WeChat. Do you really want to join the Student Union, or do you have some other motives? Hmm?"

The short - haired girl bluntly exposed Li Jianfeng's excuse. For a moment, the scene was extremely awkward!

"I... I..."

Li Jianfeng stammered, his handsome and sunny face turning bright red. It was really so awkward!
