"Did you hear? The campus beauty Zhou Kexin confessed to Chen Haoxuan today. I can't believe that a rich girl like Zhou Kexin would actually like a loser. What do you know? Nowadays, rich girls like pretty boys. If you looked like Chen Haoxuan, maybe Zhou Kexin would confess to you too!"
"Big news! Zhou Kexin from the sophomore Business Administration department confessed to Chen Haoxuan from their class, and I heard she got rejected."
"Major event at New City University! The stunningly beautiful campus beauty Zhou Kexin confessed to the handsome yet useless Chen Haoxuan. Can you guess what happened next?"
"What happened?"
"Chen Haoxuan rejected Zhou Kexin without a second thought. As a result, Zhou Kexin was so sad that she cried. I heard that after class, she ran out of the classroom in tears, who knows if she was feeling hopeless."
"Big news! Is Zhou Kexin missing?"
The news about Zhou Kexin and Chen Haoxuan spread throughout New City University in no time. With the internet, any news can be known in the shortest time possible. Some students made fun of the situation between Chen Haoxuan and Zhou Kexin, creating all sorts of stories that led some of Zhou Kexin's admirers to search for her all over campus.
Ding ding ding... Zhou Kexin's phone suddenly rang. She quickly took out her phone and pressed the answer button. She was only ten meters away from Chen Haoxuan and didn't want him to discover that she was following him. "Hello?"
"Zhou Kexin, don't think too much! It's just a pretty boy! There are plenty of fish in the sea; why hang yourself on one tree?" A worried voice came from the phone.
A question mark appeared above Zhou Kexin's head. What was this about? She didn't understand a word. "Hua Lingwei, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand anything!" Zhou Kexin replied anxiously.
"Zhou Kexin, even now you're still lying? Everyone at school knows that you were rejected by Chen Haoxuan and are feeling down. No one knows where you're hiding, thinking about suicide. Zhou Kexin! You must listen to your best friend: there are plenty of flowers everywhere; why hang yourself on one tree?" The voice on the phone was filled with concern.
Now Zhou Kexin finally understood; it turned out that her confession to Chen Haoxuan had leaked out, and she had been rejected by him. But she never intended to commit suicide! What was going on?
“Vivi, you have no idea how annoying He Haoming is. He keeps bothering me every day, and I can't do anything about it—so I used Chen Haoxuan as a shield. It was just pretend, not real, but I didn't expect Chen Haoxuan to actually refuse me. As for why people outside are saying I tried to commit suicide, I have no idea what that's about. You should also think about who I am; how could I possibly want to commit suicide over Chen Haoxuan?” Zhou Kexin explained.
“Where are you now? What are you doing?”
“I—I'm in the school garden, just getting ready to head back!” Zhou Kexin replied hesitantly.
As class time approached, Chen Yina and Chen Haoxuan slowly walked back to the classroom. On the way, many people pointed at Chen Haoxuan, but he didn’t pay any attention because he thought it must be something sensational that the previous Chen Haoxuan had done that caused them to gossip.
When Chen Haoxuan returned to the classroom, Zhou Kexin was still sitting in her previous spot. Chen Haoxuan turned to Chen Yina and said, “Nana, let’s sit on the left side. You go ahead; I’ll grab my backpack.”
“Okay.” Chen Yina sweetly replied. Chen Haoxuan's choice made her very happy; she no longer had to worry about him leaving her.
Chen Haoxuan walked over to where he and Chen Yina had been sitting before, carrying their backpacks (both of their backpacks were crossbody bags).
“Am I really that annoying?” Zhou Kexin suddenly spoke up while pretending to read.
“You used me as a shield to get He Haoming off your back. Have you thought about what would happen if He Haoming hurt me because he wanted you? You might be fine, but what about me? I could end up seriously injured or even worse. Would you take responsibility for that? Have you considered the consequences? So you should know whether I truly dislike you,” Chen Haoxuan said before ignoring Zhou Kexin and walking towards Chen Yina with both backpacks in hand.
Zhou Kexin stared blankly at Chen Haoxuan. She hadn’t considered what he said before; now she felt guilty. He was right—if something happened to him, who would be responsible? She realized that Chen Haoxuan was quite smart, smarter than her, because he thought of things she hadn’t even considered.
After the class bell rang, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses walked into the classroom. This must be Teacher Shen, as she immediately looked towards the back of the classroom, clearly sent by their homeroom teacher to check if Zhou Kexin was still crying.
During this class, Chen Haoxuan fell asleep again, and the teacher didn’t mind. At New City University, as long as you didn’t cause trouble and could pass your exams, you could do whatever you wanted.
That morning during class, Chen Haoxuan had dozed off. After the morning classes were over, Chen Yina took Chen Haoxuan to the school cafeteria. The dishes that Chen Yina ordered were all vegetarian. When Chen Haoxuan asked her why she only ordered vegetarian dishes, Chen Yina told him that she was on a diet. Knowing that Chen Yina was trying to save money, he ordered a lot of meat dishes, filling his plate to the brim.
After choosing a table, Chen Haoxuan placed his plate down and continuously transferred the meat dishes from his plate to Chen Yina's. "You’re so thin; you should eat more nutritious food," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
"No need, Brother Xuan, you don’t have to give me any. I really am on a diet," Chen Yina replied shyly, touched by Chen Haoxuan's kindness.
"I'll give you as much as I want; you have to eat it, or Brother Xuan—I'll get angry," Chen Haoxuan said seriously to Chen Yina.
Outside the cafeteria, Zhou Kexin was explaining her situation with Chen Haoxuan to her best friend Hua Lingwei as they walked toward the cafeteria. By the time Zhou Kexin and her friend got their food, the cafeteria was already packed with people. "Zhou Kexin, let’s go over there and see if there’s any space left," Hua Lingwei suggested.
At that moment, someone sitting next to Chen Haoxuan finished eating and stood up to leave. Seeing this, Hua Lingwei immediately pulled Zhou Kexin and jogged over.
"There’s only one spot; Zhou Kexin, you sit first. I’ll wait a bit longer," Hua Lingwei said loyally.
"Why don’t you go ahead? I’m not hungry," Zhou Kexin replied.
Hearing a familiar voice, Chen Haoxuan turned around and saw Zhou Kexin.
