Chapter 455: Chapter 455: A Gaze Was Fixed on Her
After all, it was the class’s first collective activity, and everyone made sure to spruce themselves up before heading out.
Right before leaving, Shen Zhaozhao even got dragged by Song Ning to put on some light makeup.
“It’s just a mixer. It’s not like it’s blind dating. Do you all have to make it so formal?” It was just a class gathering to exchange feelings, but they were treating it like a matchmaking event.
Besides, there were only 6 girls in their class, and 4 of them were from her dorm. There was no need to engage in that sort of female competition.
“You don’t get it. What if, in the course of conversation, sparks fly?” When you put it that way, it didn’t sound wrong.
“I don’t need to,” said Shen Zhaozhao. “You three, on the other hand, should dress up nicely. Maybe you’ll meet someone you like and can take the opportunity to make a move.” There’s a saying that the one closest to the water gets the moon first; it would be nice if everything could be settled within the class.
As someone who already had a boyfriend, she would just find a corner to quietly eat and drink once she got there.
The mixer was set at an outdoor BBQ camping site.
She heard that the expense for the mixer was all covered by their tutor.
Shen Zhaozhao deeply suspected that the tutor’s family must own a mine.
Upon arriving, Shen Zhaozhao saw a crowd of people gathered together, some faces familiar, others completely strange; at a glance, there seemed to be at least forty or fifty people.
“Does our class have this many people?” Shen Zhaozhao exclaimed in surprise.
And there were people she did not recognize.
“Who said they are all from our class?” Song Ning looked at her in amazement. Did this girl even listen to what the tutor said?
Shen Zhaozhao: “Didn’t you say it was a class mixer?” She thought it would be just their class, but this didn’t look right; there were many unfamiliar faces.
Had she missed some crucial information again?
Su Yang explained, “Considering that our class has more boys than girls, the tutor specifically invited students from the Chinese Language and Literature class to join us. Our class only has six girls, while their class is just the opposite, having only seven boys. That’s why I told you to dress nicely, so you wouldn’t be outshone by girls from other classes. To prevent them from thinking our class’s girls are not as pretty as theirs.”
“No way, we have Zhizhi in our class.” Yu Zhi was the class beauty as well as the beauty of the Mathematics Department, outshining all the girls in the entire department.
She wasn’t afraid of competing with girls from other departments.
Indeed, the moment Yu Zhi appeared, everyone’s gaze naturally fell on her.
Shen Zhaozhao originally thought it had nothing to do with her, but she keenly felt a gaze on her.
She lifted her head and saw a girl retracting her gaze; she didn’t think much of it.
After finding a seat and sitting down, it wasn’t long before she saw a girl approach her and say, “Hello, I’m Yan Shuang from the Chinese Language and Literature major.”
“Hello, I’m Shen Zhaozhao.”
Just as Shen Zhaozhao had finished introducing herself, she heard the other person say, “I know you!”
Shen Zhaozhao looked at her with suspicion.
Her first thought was, could this be another admirer of Sheng Chuyi?
The next second, she heard the other person say, “I don’t mean anything by it, I just wanted to chat with you. I heard that you’re tutoring Xie Yu now?”
Thankfully, it wasn’t about Sheng Chuyi.
Shen Zhaozhao nodded and asked, “You know Xie Yu?”
The other smiled and said, “We’ve known each other since we were little. I even tutored him before. That kid was quite smart as a child. It’s just that he entered a rebellious phase in middle school and started putting his effort into other things, which resulted in his grades declining. His mom tried a lot of tutors, but to no avail. I heard, though, that he’s been improving a lot recently?”
