Despite Yan Shuang’s dissatisfaction, she didn’t dare to provoke everyone’s anger and could only force herself to maintain her facial expression as she said, "Since everyone dislikes it, let’s switch to a different game!"
As for what game to switch to, Shen Zhaozhao was not interested and did not plan to join.
As long as the other party didn’t bother her, she couldn’t care less about them.
Fortunately, Yan Shuang was merely a minor incident; probably because she had not received a warm welcome from Shen Zhaozhao earlier, she stayed obedient for the rest of the social gathering, not seeking trouble anymore.
The relationship between Shen Zhaozhao and Sheng Chuyi was no secret in the Math Department, with quite a few male students having seen Sheng Chuyi waiting for her outside the classroom. Thus, throughout the social event, few people approached Shen Zhaozhao; instead, Yu Zhi was surrounded by many.
People are visual creatures, and the academic overachievers were no different—they all liked pretty girls.
Girls who were both smart and pretty were even more liked by them.
Several boys in the class had already expressed their fondness for her, and now that they had the rare opportunity to interact privately, they naturally put in their utmost effort to impress her.
"When our Zhizhi steps in, no one else stands a chance," Song Ning and Su Yang, sitting beside Shen Zhaozhao, each held a skewer and watched Yu Zhi who was surrounded by several boys, their faces full of vicarious pride.
"Indeed!" Shen Zhaozhao nodded in agreement.
Indeed, being good-looking was an advantage in this day and age.
"What’s the matter with you two? It’s such a good opportunity, why are you just sitting there? You should also move towards your targets!" In her opinion, the male students in their class would have bright futures, and if they saw someone they liked, they could definitely try to communicate and develop a relationship.
Su Yang elegantly bit into the chicken wing in her hand and said, "My goal is to enter graduate school; a boyfriend would be a stumbling block on my road to success." Understood, she temporarily had no plans to pursue a relationship.
Shen Zhaozhao then turned her gaze to Song Ning.
Song Ning: "I do want to look for someone, but someone has to be interested in me first." Not every deal is meant to be sought after; as a girl, she couldn’t just throw herself at the guys, could she?
That would be too degrading.
Normally, it wouldn’t be a big deal; with her personality, she didn’t necessarily need a guy to chase her. If she really liked someone, taking the initiative was not a problem. But mainly today, in front of girls from other classes, Song Ning did not want to lose face.
Moreover, they had a WeChat group with the boys from their class; there was no need to ask in person, as communication does not always require face-to-face interaction. As for the guys from other classes, since none fit her type, there was even less reason to provoke them.
Shen Zhaozhao roughly understood the two’s mindsets; in short, one had no interest in looking, while the other wanted to look but did not want to take the initiative.
As for Yu Zhi, although she wore a smile, after having lived in the same dormitory for so long, it was clear it wasn’t genuine. Obviously, she wasn’t interested in any of the boys in the class.
It seemed none of them from their dormitory stood a chance of leaving single that night.
After hearing Shen Zhaozhao’s summary, Song Ning laughed and said, "This is a social gathering, not a matchmaking event. Who said that participating means one is necessarily aiming to leave singlehood behind?"
"Then why did you both buy new clothes and put on makeup?" She had thought there was someone they liked in the class.
Song Ning raised her eyebrows unconcernedly: "We just didn’t want to lose to girls from other classes; it has nothing to do with those stinky boys from our class. Moreover, women buy clothes and apply makeup to please themselves, not to dress up for others."
All right, it was her narrow-mindedness!
