There was a certain kind of girl who, even if she had a boyfriend, would still attract all men like moths to a flame. Besides, she *said* she had a boyfriend, but she had never produced a picture. Who knew if that was just an excuse to avoid trouble for herself? Under such circumstances, whoever persisted until the end might just win the beauty’s heart.

Xia Tian was somewhat curious about the aloof campus belle his roommate mentioned, but he still didn’t check the campus network for her. If such a person really exists, I’ll run into her sooner or later. Then, I can compare them. If she’s actually more beautiful than Si Wen, I’ll just change my target. Xia Tian had devised what he thought was an excellent plan, little knowing that in the eyes of others, he was nothing but a clown.

After Lin Xi finished registering, she went to the dormitory to find Si Wen.

Originally, their homes were right near the school in the Tongfang Residential District. However, Si Wen said she wanted to experience living on campus and had pulled Lin Xi into signing up for a dorm room with her.

Lin Xi didn’t mind either way, as staying in a dorm or not didn’t make much of a difference to her. Still, she considered that if Xue Yang wasn’t home one day, she could always slip into the dorm to stay with Si Wen. With that thought, she decisively signed up.

She had chosen the same major as Si Wen, and they were coincidentally assigned to the same room: 303 in the female dormitory. They were sharing the room with two other girls. When glancing at the dorm roster earlier, Lin Xi had noted their names—one was Liu Shiqi, and the other was Cao Xinrou. Both were from the south. Liu Shiqi hailed from Hangzhou, the fabled land of fish and rice in the Jiangnan region, while Cao Xinrou was from a coastal city famous for its seafood. Judging by their names, they seemed like they would be easy to get along with. Because Xue Yang was from the south, Lin Xi tended to view people from there through a positive filter.

When Lin Xi arrived, all three of her roommates were already there. However, the atmosphere seemed a bit off. The moment she pushed the door open, she froze in the entryway. Could it be that I was mistaken? Are some people from the south difficult to get along with after all?

The instant the other two girls saw Lin Xi, the tense atmosphere instantly vanished.

What a beautiful girl! And she has such a noble aura about her. In ancient times, she’d definitely be a princess.

Seeing them, Lin Xi raised her hand and greeted them. "Hello, everyone~"

Cao Xinrou approached Lin Xi, her face full of amazement. "You’re so beautiful! I’ve never seen a girl as stunning as you."

Si Wen was also very pretty, but a conflict had erupted the moment she arrived, which had greatly soured their impression of her. Now, seeing Lin Xi, who even cared how pretty Si Wen was?

Being complimented, Lin Xi replied graciously, "Thank you~"

"Hello, my name is Cao Xinrou. You can call me Xinxin or Rourou." Cao Xinrou didn’t have a particularly gentle appearance; a few pimples on her otherwise fine features diminished her looks somewhat. Her straightforward, boisterous personality made her seem more like a girl from the north.

Liu Shiqi’s appearance, on the other hand, was more typical of the south. She had fair skin, long hair draped over her shoulders, and large, expressive eyes, giving her a quiet and gentle demeanor.

Lin Xi then walked over to Si Wen and asked, "Si Wen, what happened?"

"You two know each other?" Cao Xinrou and Liu Shiqi exclaimed in unison.

"We were high school classmates."

"So that means you two are a team, then!" The amazement in Cao Xinrou’s eyes shifted to regret.

Pretty girls always think so highly of themselves. And two of them arrived in our dorm at once. They’re probably the type with countless admirers, with different men bringing them gifts every day. And they’ll likely flaunt it right in our faces... The days ahead are definitely going to be tough.

Remembering how Si Wen had thrown their belongings on the floor right after arriving, Cao Xinrou and Liu Shiqi couldn’t help but groan internally.

Lin Xi thought for a moment before replying, "In a way, yes, we are a team." Si Wen was her best friend, so of course they were on the same side.

Hearing Lin Xi’s words, Cao Xinrou said, "From now on, you go your way, and we’ll go ours. Let’s not disturb each other." But she’s just so beautiful. What a shame. It would have been nice to be friends with her.

Before she had even figured out what was going on, Lin Xi found that a line had already been drawn in the sand. She had never had to deal with a situation like this before, but since they clearly didn’t want to be friends, she wouldn’t push it. She just never imagined she would have a falling out with her roommates on her very first day of university.

"You two had better mean what you say," Si Wen huffed. "Now clean up this trash on the floor, and don’t you ever touch my bed again."

Lin Xi had noticed the things scattered messily across the floor when she came in, but they didn’t look like trash to her.

"..."

Cao Xinrou and Liu Shiqi glared at Si Wen before reluctantly starting to pick up their things. This wasn’t trash; these were the daily necessities they had painstakingly lugged all the way from their hometowns.

Meanwhile, Xue Yang had finally finished his phone call, and the registration process was nearly complete.

"Young Master Xue, the Young Lady and Miss Si Wen have already gone inside," Uncle Liu said. "They should have finished their enrollment and headed to the dormitory by now."

"Alright, Uncle Liu. Thank you for waiting so long for me."

Uncle Liu smiled. "Don’t say that, Young Master Xue. It is my honor to continue serving you and the Young Lady."

Xue Yang said no more, simply opening the car door and stepping out.

His appearance immediately caused a stir among the surrounding students.

"Is that another freshman? My god, he’s so handsome! Like a celebrity. We’re so lucky to be students here. Not only do we get to see peerless beauties, but we also have handsome men to look at. He’s way better looking than those young idols in showbiz."

"Yeah, yeah! I could die of happiness just thinking about attending classes at a school like this. After more than a decade of hard work, it finally feels like it has all paid off."

"..."

They were, after all, students of a prestigious university. Though inwardly thrilled, they refrained from doing anything too out of line. After a brief moment of shock, everyone continued on their way.

Still, a few people remained curious about Xue Yang’s identity.

"Wait, why does that student look so familiar? I don’t think he’s a freshman."

"Now that you mention it, you’re right. Ah, why can’t I remember?"

How could they not remember where they had seen such a handsome guy? It felt like a personal failing.

It wasn’t surprising they couldn’t place him right away. Xue Yang had spent very little time on campus. They knew of a legendary figure named Xue Yang, but they didn’t dare connect the name to this person without being certain.

In a few moments, Xue Yang arrived at the registration table. Wei Shuyu was packing up, preparing to leave for the day. She had already confirmed that every freshman was signed in. So why is someone else here? Suddenly, a shadow fell across the registration form on her table.

She looked up and saw an incredibly striking figure. Wei Shuyu’s lifeless eyes instantly lit up.

"Pr-President! What are you doing here?"
