At the entrance of Tenglong Hotel!
Wang Shuze and the classically beautiful campus figure Luo Shuixi stepped out at the same time, one exuding an elegant classical charm and the other a noble scholarly aura, both impeccable in appearance. At first glance, they truly seemed like a couple made in heaven. Nearby, some wealthy heirs and heiresses couldn’t help feeling unworthy upon seeing them emerge together. Those who had been harboring crushes on Luo Shuixi or Wang Shuze suddenly felt a sense of inferiority and walked with their heads down.
Suddenly, Luo Shuixi’s eyes wandered and spotted two exquisitely dressed young women walking arm in arm not far away. Though she only saw their backs, she recognized them immediately as two of the campus’s four beauties, Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie!
After pondering for a moment, Luo Shuixi cracked a faint, elegant smile and said, "Ze, go ahead without me. I have something to take care of."
Wang Shuze was taken aback. Though he was curious, her reticence to explain indicated she did not want him to know. Acknowledging this, he tactfully responded, "Alright then, I’ll be off first. Farewell!"
"Farewell!" Luo Shuixi waved lightly, and after Wang Shuze had taken his leave, the smile vanished from her face, and a hint of icy pride appeared. She quickened her pace towards Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie.
"Xue Jiu, did you see? There goes your Prince Charming!" Li Mengjie said with a sympathetic look as she watched Ling Xuejiu.
They had actually noticed Luo Shuixi and Wang Shuze some time ago.
"Hmph! So what if I did?" Ling Xuejiu’s expression was sour.
"Honestly, aside from his looks, there’s not much about Wang Shuze that’s appealing. He’s just the son of the school’s director. What’s so great about that? If we talk about family background, his Wang Family is no match for your Ling Clan." Li Mengjie said disdainfully, raising her fist in the air to console Ling Xuejiu, "Xue Jiu, you really have no taste."
"What are you saying?" Ling Xuejiu was close to being upset, but upon hearing Li Mengjie’s words, which ostensibly criticized her lack of taste but in fact elevated her while diminishing Wang Shuze, she couldn’t help but let out a snicker. The smile bloomed like a lotus flower, and if any boy had seen it, he probably would have had a nosebleed on the spot.
However, upon reflection, Ling Xuejiu felt that Wang Shuze was indeed quite outstanding, and it wasn’t an issue of family background, but rather a matter of substance and temperament.
With a deep sigh, she softly said, "Xiao Jie, you can’t really blame him for lacking taste, can you? After all, that little fox Luo Shuixi is much more cunning than me and understands how to cater to people’s hearts better. As for me? I’m usually bad-tempered and quite willful..."
"Miss Ling, thank you for your compliments!" A graceful and mellifluous voice suddenly came from not far away.
Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie turned around almost at the same time to see Luo Shuixi, who had unexpectedly approached to within five meters behind them. Ling Xuejiu’s face turned red with embarrassment, especially since she had just called the other a little fox while praising her!
With a light smile, Luo Shuixi seemed not to mind at all and continued with a slight smile, "In my view, Wang Shuze hasn’t actually overlooked Miss Ling. It’s just that..." She paused, as if thinking of something, then bowed her head and said no more.
