"Wow, Wan Xinyan, you're all so hardworking. You don't even forget to study in the cafeteria!"
One of the girls opened with that, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Su Bai immediately said, "Being hardworking is a good thing. Isn't studying a student's primary duty?"
"...Ah, yeah, yeah, that's right."
The girl's expression visibly stiffened, and she forced a smile.
She hadn't expected Su Bai to defend the Wan sisters so fiercely. She had thought the two of them were merely by Su Bai's side... but never mind.
The girl seemed to think it did not matter. She had come to strike up a conversation with Su Bai, and just as she was about to say something, Su Bai cut her off again. "Sorry, we're discussing our elective course group assignment. Unrelated people should leave first. Don't make a fool of yourselves. If you heard me, say you heard me!"
The two girls fled in embarrassment.
They could not help muttering to themselves, Strange. Why was handsome Su Bai nothing like the rumors?
Some classmates said Su Bai was very gentle, and that he had none of the airs of a rich young master. When he played basketball with the boys in class, he spouted nonsense jokes nonstop... Did he dislike girls?
No, that could not be it. There were already so many beautiful women around him with unclear relationships.
In short, the two girls had completely failed at striking up a conversation.
Watching their retreating figures, Wan Xinyan covered her mouth and chuckled. "I feel like some of my classmates always talk in such weird, mocking tones."
"They understand neither basic manners nor how to cater to someone's preferences. Of course, the main problem is that their quality isn't good enough."
"That's right. Brother Su Bai has very picky tastes.
