Xue Bei’s gaze shifted from Lu Xingzhi to Luo Qingchen, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Luo Qingchen turned to look at him, her voice calm, "What do you mean?"
"This is our junior from the Computer Science Department. It’s said that his family d millions worth of equipment to the school. As soon as he joined, he already made it to the school heartthrob list, ranking just behind you and Gu Jin Yan, in third place."
"Pointless. What’s the significance of such a list?" Luo Qingchen’s face darkened as she strode forward.
"The list itself isn’t significant; it just shows someone’s popularity. For instance, Little Zhi Liao is now ranked first. We know Little Zhi Liao has a fiancé, but others don’t. So, liking a girl like Little Zhi Liao requires courage to face any rivals."
Xue Bei placed his hand on Luo Qingchen’s shoulder, "So, do you still want to like her now? By the way, what’s the relationship between Little Zhi Liao and this student Han Chengran? She doesn’t accept gifts from others, so why accept Han Chengran’s?"
Luo Qingchen removed his hand and said nothing as he walked away.
Lu Xingzhi had already gone upstairs with her things. When she returned to the dormitory, Ke Yanchu asked, "Little Zhi Liao, did you go to the supermarket?"
"Come over and eat!" Lu Xingzhi put her things away and opened the vacuum-packed goods, "These are all from my hometown."
Ke Yanchu took a chicken wing without hesitation, "You just arrived at school, and your uncle already sent you some food. The flavor is really strong."
"Not him. It was Han Chengran." Lu Xingzhi also picked up a chicken foot and had only taken a couple of bites when her phone rang again.
This time, it was Huo Jincheng calling.
"Zhi Zhi, have you had lunch?"
"I have, I’m in the dorm now." Lu Xingzhi quickly finished the chicken foot and tossed it in the trash, then asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. What are you eating? I can smell the aroma through the screen." Huo Jincheng flipped through files; today was the first day after the National Day holiday, and his workload was quite heavy.
"Spicy chicken feet, from my hometown. They’re delicious," Lu Xingzhi replied, savoring the taste.
"Did someone buy them for you?" Huo Jincheng immediately caught onto the important part.
"Yes, Han Chengran did." Lu Xingzhi didn’t hide anything.
"Is he the one we met the first time we came to the Capital City?" Huo Jincheng was quite impressed with himself for still remembering this person.
Probably because the first time they met, he could already see from the guy’s eyes that he liked his fiancée!
"You should eat less of that stuff." Huo Jincheng felt a twinge of jealousy. Why did his beloved draw so many people’s attention? Fortunately, she seemed blissfully unaware of their feelings towards her.
And fortunately, she didn’t like them.
On the other end of the call, Huo Jincheng’s voice wavered with a hint of melancholy.
"Zhi Zhi, I’m feeling a bit upset. I don’t want so many people to like you. I wish I were the only one who could see your goodness."
"I’m not that great. Others won’t like me; I’m quite boring," Lu Xingzhi never thought highly of herself and always felt she wasn’t worthy of someone as good as Huo Jincheng.
So, she wanted to try harder.
"In my eyes, you are the best. No one can compare to you," Huo Jincheng aptly responded with words of affection.
