Amidst gasps of surprise, the crowd parted, creating a clear pathway.
Bathed in the glow of the rising sun, under the intense focus of many eyes, a young girl appeared. She wore a loose white t-shirt and light blue denim shorts.
Standing at about 1.7 meters, she possessed a tall and well-proportioned figure. Her legs, fair and slender, moved with a gentle pace, and a faint smile graced her lips.
Her delicate features were almost too perfect.
Her long hair, caressed by the morning breeze, flowed gracefully, catching the sunlight and shimmering with a faint golden hue.
"Such long legs, was she reincarnated as a leg goddess?"
Even Su Yu couldn't help but utter an admiring exclamation.
"She's a big star. Just admire her from afar, and don't have any other thoughts," Zhang Yang patted Su Yu's shoulder. He was quite pragmatic, seeing them and such a big star as people from two entirely different worlds.
"It seems you're very loyal to your new girlfriend," Su Yu teased.
He hadn't expected Zhang Yang to have such a realization.
"Of course. I, Zhang Yang, am not like that old fogey Zhang Yi. Once I've set my sights on someone, I'll love them wholeheartedly," Zhang Yang, very pleased with Su Yu's compliment, said proudly, dragging two suitcases.
"The more you praise him, the more he swells," Su Yu gave him a side-eye.
You can't just praise this guy; he'll fly too high.
"It really is Lin Yanyu!" Gong Ju-ren, surrounded by senior students, stopped in his tracks. His eyes fixed intensely on the girl, a flicker of ardor flashing within them.
Only a woman as outstanding as her could be worthy of me, Gong Ju-ren!
Seeing Lin Yanyu walking towards him, Gong Ju-ren's heart began to race.
He took a deep breath, trying to appear calm, then met Lin Yanyu's gaze, offering a confident smile.
"It's over. Could it be that the goddess is also here for this kid???"
"Damn it, if he dares to snatch my goddess, I'll kill him!"
"Impossible, the goddess isn't that superficial!"
"..."
As everyone watched Lin Yanyu's steps lead her towards Gong Ju-ren, they held their breath.
No! This is impossible!
How could a mere freshman possibly capture the favor of the campus belle, Lin Yanyu?
This was Lin Yanyu, the dream goddess of every male student in the school, a rising idol singer in China.
The goddess couldn't be this superficial!
As Lin Yanyu drew closer, Gong Ju-ren's lips couldn't help but curl upwards, his gaze solely fixed on that exquisitely beautiful silhouette.
He slowly extended his hand, introducing himself to Lin Yanyu: "Hello, my name is Gong Ju-ren..."
The senior students from the vocal department beside him naturally made way.
Though reluctant, they knew that stepping forward at this moment would only lead to self-humiliation.
Lin Yanyu was too perfect; standing beside her made them feel inferior.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a pen. I'll have to sign autographs another time."
Stopping in front of Gong Ju-ren, Lin Yanyu offered him a slight smile, then shook her head apologetically. Without lingering, she walked past him.
No pen?
Autograph?
What did she mean?
"She thinks I'm a fan who wants an autograph???"
Gong Ju-ren was stunned for a moment, then finally understood.
The smile on his face gradually stiffened. His outstretched hand felt awkward, neither able to be withdrawn nor to be held there.
"Hahaha, I knew the goddess wasn't that superficial!"
"Hahaha..."
"I can't, this is too funny."
"Told you not to be so confident. Look at you now, embarrassed?"
The surrounding laughter made Gong Ju-ren's face flush.
However, what puzzled him most was that Lin Yanyu had walked towards him, so why wasn't she here for him?
But Lin Yanyu's demeanor truly suggested she mistook him for a fan seeking an autograph.
This shouldn't be happening...
"Junior, do you need any help?"
Just then, Lin Yanyu's voice echoed from not too far behind Gong Ju-ren.
He blinked in surprise, then turned his head.
Whoosh!
All eyes, at that exact moment, shifted towards Lin Yanyu.
She stood before Su Yu, a sweet smile on her face.
Silence!
An eerie silence fell upon the scene.
Gong Ju-ren's eyes widened in disbelief.
The senior students and upperclassmen also gaped in astonishment.
The other freshmen all turned their gazes, looking at Lin Yanyu and Su Yu with surprise.
Who is he???
This question flashed through everyone's minds.
Could he be the campus belle's boyfriend?
Impossible, the campus belle was sacred and inviolable in their hearts; how could she have a boyfriend?
If the attention from the vocal department seniors surrounding Gong Ju-ren had made everyone envious,
then this scene, with the campus belle actively offering help to a freshman, was something they could only dream of.
It wasn't that they were surprised without reason.
Although Lin Yanyu wasn't the type to be aloof and unapproachable, they had never heard of her being close to any male.
Her proactively approaching and conversing with a stranger was unheard of.
"Thanks, but we don't have much luggage, we can manage ourselves."
Su Yu smiled and politely declined.
The intense gazes from the surroundings made him uncomfortable. Although he didn't know why Lin Yanyu wanted to help him, it was better to avoid trouble than to invite it. He didn't want to get involved with her.
After all, judging by the expressions of those around him, Lin Yanyu was extremely popular. If he accepted her help, Su Yu might not be able to lead a peaceful university life.
Whoa!
"What? He actually refused???"
"Holy crap, does this guy know what he's saying?"
"Is he crazy? The campus belle personally offering help is the dream of so many men at Qingda University, and he refused?"
"That's Lin Yanyu! How could he refuse her?"
"I must have misheard."
Su Yu's refusal caused an uproar around him.
Madness! The campus belle Lin had been rejected!
As the campus belle of Qingda University and an idol singer, Lin Yanyu had actually been rejected by a freshman in front of so many people.
This was somewhat hard to believe.
However, after Su Yu refused, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this kid had some self-awareness.
"Please, let me help, okay?" Despite being refused, Lin Yanyu showed no signs of annoyance. She clasped her hands together, rubbing her thumbs in circles, her bright eyes twinkling with a hint of a pout.
Hiss!
Everyone present, both male and female students, froze on the spot.
Some even dug at their ears in shock.
The campus belle Lin was actually acting spoiled towards a freshman???
This was utterly unbelievable!
Jealousy! Countless envious glances were cast towards Su Yu.
"Good heavens, is Su Yu that kid getting lucky?"
Zhang Yang, standing beside him, stared blankly at the two, his jaw practically on the floor.
"Can I know why?" Su Yu was even more bewildered now. In his mind, after refusing Lin Yanyu, she wouldn't have continued, even if she wasn't angry.
But he hadn't expected Lin Yanyu to act spoiled after being rejected and still want to help.
It had to be said, acting spoiled was indeed a woman's ultimate weapon, especially when such an incredibly beautiful woman acted that way. No normal man could resist it.
However, Su Yu still didn't agree. He first wanted to understand the reason.
"You idiot, I am..." Lin Yanyu was about to reveal that she was his online girlfriend but stopped upon seeing Su Yu's expression.
When meeting online acquaintances, it wasn't proper for a girl to speak first.
Although they hadn't met, she had sent voice messages a few times. How could this guy not recognize her voice?
He must have forgotten her voice!
Humph, let's see when he finally recognizes me.
With that thought, Lin Yanyu decided to keep her identity hidden for now, as a punishment for Su Yu forgetting her voice.
