Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 6) Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 6) When Yuan Chen returned to the dormitory, his roommates saw him and exclaimed with surprise, “Our life’s winner has come back!”
Yuan Chen laughed, “What life’s winner? What are you talking about now?”
His roommate directly took out his phone and handed it to him–The campus belle and the department beauty, freshmen became public enemies of many senior students.
Below were a few photos, some of Yuan Chen chatting with Sheng Lu, and some of Qi Shishi looking at Yuan Chen with a shy face, and Yuan Chen handing Qi Shishi a notebook.
Some bored student had written a long article and posted it on the school’s forum.
Many people commented below, expressing their envy, jealousy, and hatred, and some even asked to become disciples, wondering how this junior managed to befriend the two beautiful freshmen girls.
After reading it, Yuan Chen laughed and handed the phone back to his roommate, “Baseless talk. Not to mention anything else, I only met these two today.”
His roommate’s face showed a capital ‘I’m impressed’: “You just met, and you’re already this close with them? Especially our campus belle, she’s widely acknowledged as an ice queen. Come on, how did you ‘melt the ice’?”
Yuan Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “What ‘melting ice’? She’s just a bit cold, not as frightening as you guys make her out to be.”
In fact, he was telling the truth. Sheng Lu was not as aloof as the rumors suggested; more often, she simply didn’t know how to socialize with others.
The Sheng family parents were always busy, so Sheng Lu spent a long period of her childhood accompanied by a nanny. This made her mature early and more independent than most kids.
By the time Sheng Lu’s parents realized their pretty daughter wasn’t as soft and cuddly as other children and had become a little poker-faced, it was too late to change her ways.
But Sheng Lu didn’t think there was anything wrong with herself. She liked quietness and wouldn’t actively seek to make friends, which she thought was quite alright, wasn’t it?
Yuan Chen had noticed while chatting with her that although the girl said little and rarely initiated conversations, she knew a lot, answered every question, and never made people feel awkward.
This wasn’t aloofness, it was reticence.
He couldn’t help but recall her earnest and tranquil profile as she read her book, a picture of serenity.
His roommate, seeing this obviously love-struck expression, nudged him with a smirk, “Come on, which one do you like?”
Yuan Chen snapped back to reality and glared at him, “What do you mean ‘which one’? I told you, I just met them today. This is related to the girl’s reputation, don’t talk nonsense.”
On the other side, Lu Changting had also seen the message on the forum.
Looking at the photo of Gu Shengyin earnestly talking to Yuan Chen, clearly in conversation, he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
It seemed he needed to move faster. With such an outstanding junior, there would always be people wanting to vie with him.
Gu Shengyin, at her second elective class, still encountered Yuan Chen.
Yuan Chen was clearly surprised but still very pleased, and naturally, the two became desk-mates again.
Gu Shengyin rested her forehead in her hand. Not only this elective class, but for all her electives, Sheng Lu had chosen the same courses as Yuan Chen, even in PE, Sheng Lu had followed Yuan Chen’s lead and chosen volleyball.
By the time they had selected the same class for the third time, Yuan Chen no longer believed it was a coincidence.
He narcissistically thought: Could it be that the campus belle actually had an unrequited love for him, thus secretly choosing the same classes as he did?
But as he looked at Gu Shengyin’s indifferent profile, he dismissed the thought. He couldn’t at all tell that she was interested in him.
Yuan Chen didn’t know that sometimes, the most unlikely scenarios are actually the closest to the truth.
