"Roll call starts now."
Li Haoyang stood at the podium.
In the middle of the front row sat Luo Ye, Shen Qiao, and Wang Dachui, staring at Li Haoyang from close range.
"Xu Xiaojia."
"Here."
"Luo Ye."
"Here."
As he continued calling names, Li Haoyang glanced at the first row.
Luo Ye and the other two were wiggling their eyebrows at him.
Their ridiculous expressions nearly made Li Haoyang laugh.
But he was taking attendance right now. This was a serious matter, yet his roommates' stares forced him to hold back his laughter.
"Zhang San."
"Here."
"Li Si—pfft..."
"Here..."
Li Si curiously raised his head and looked at Li Haoyang in confusion.
His name might have been generic, but wasn't it a little too much to laugh at him so openly?
Once attendance was over, everyone went their separate ways—some headed off for dinner, while others returned to their dorms.
Li Haoyang joined up with Luo Ye and the other two as well.
Seeing Coach's expression, Luo Ye and the others all looked miserable.
"What's with those faces?"
Li Haoyang was puzzled.
But he lowered his head to check his phone, then said, "Let's go eat."
Hearing that, Shen Qiao asked, "Why aren't you eating with your girlfriend today?"
"She said she had something to do. Whatever."
Luo Ye and Shen Qiao exchanged a glance, both understanding something.
Wang Dachui slung an arm around Li Haoyang's shoulders and said sympathetically, "A real man knows when to bend and when to stand tall. Come on, I'll treat you to beef noodles! Extra scallions and cilantro."
At that moment, Luo Ye suddenly remembered that he still had a whole pile of boxed meals left. He quickly punched Wang Dachui and said, "Back to the dorm. I've got something tasty."
"Oho, you're catching on, Wild Child."
Wang Dachui shoved Li Haoyang away and hooked an arm around Luo Ye's shoulders instead.
It seemed anyone could become his best bro in an instant.
When they returned to the dorm and saw the boxed meals on the table, each one full of color, aroma, and flavor, Wang Dachui said in shock, "These are boxed meals? If you told me this was an imperial feast, I'd believe you."
Shen Qiao also looked mildly surprised. He glanced at Luo Ye and said with a half-smile, "Brother Luo Ye, this doesn't look like it came from a restaurant, and you didn't go home either. Tell us, who made this for you?"
Facing the gazes of his three roommates, Luo Ye took half a step back.
"Senior Sister made it."
The moment he heard the words "Senior Sister," Shen Qiao knew who it was.
Things had progressed pretty quickly.
But Wang Dachui had no idea. He looked at Li Haoyang, scratched his head, and asked, "Senior Sister again? Coach, do you know her?"
"I think I have some impression... Once, when I was out for a morning run, I saw a girl beside Brother Luo Ye, but I couldn't see who she was clearly."
Li Haoyang recalled that day. Liu Bingxin had said there was a girl following Luo Ye around, but he had not seen her.
Wang Dachui fixed Luo Ye with a suggestive stare.
"Wild Child, who is she exactly? Why so mysterious? I thought it was Tang Enqi. She's the New Student Campus Belle, and she was even your high school classmate."
"Tang Enqi?"
Hearing that familiar name again, Luo Ye shook his head. "I did like her in high school, but I don't anymore."
"Ohoho, Wild Child, we all know you came to Jiang University because of her. Without her, you probably wouldn't even know us."
Luo Ye froze slightly at those words.
If there had been no Tang Enqi, would he still have met Fairy Senior Sister?
It was hard to say. Since Su Baizhou was Gu Mingxuan's student, they might still have had a chance to meet someday. But that would have been much, much later, and it would have depended on luck. The odds were low.
So he still had to thank Tang Enqi for making him choose Jiang University without hesitation.
After all, he would not have chosen to study here just because his Cousin was here. His original intention had been to attend a school where no one knew him and focus on writing.
Seeing Luo Ye fall silent, Wang Dachui exclaimed, "Don't tell me you still have feelings for Tang Enqi? I'm telling you, Sister Enqi is mine."
"Get lost. Every day, this one's yours and that one's yours. If you've got the guts, go hit on them," Luo Ye said disdainfully.
But anyone with eyes could see that a rich second-generation student who loved showing off was currently pursuing Tang Enqi like crazy.
His name was... Gao Yuming?
He was on the school basketball team, strong and handsome, and also rich. Aside from being a little arrogant, he was practically the perfect guy.
Compared to him, Wang Dachui was outclassed again.
Luo Ye silently mourned Wang Dachui for three seconds.
As for Luo Ye's relationship with Su Baizhou, no one at Jiang University knew about it. Even Shen Qiao only thought they knew each other and had no idea how far things had progressed.
Luo Ye would keep quiet and strike it rich. Before long, he would stun everyone.
The group ate the boxed meals in the dorm.
These boxed meals had been made by Su Baizhou herself. How could ordinary mortals get to taste such food so easily?
After one bite, even Li Haoyang, who was notoriously picky about ingredients, brightened and gave a thumbs-up.
In less than ten minutes, every boxed meal on the table had been wiped clean. The group sprawled over their chairs and the table, looking completely stuffed.
Without drawing attention to himself, Luo Ye took a picture of them and sent it to Fairy Senior Sister.
Luo Ye: Picture
Luo Ye: Mission accomplished!
After Su Baizhou saw the picture, the corners of her lips lifted as she replied: Easy.
At that moment, Su Baizhou was sitting in a classroom.
She was interviewing first-year students who wanted to join the Student Union.
Once Student Union recruitment was over, it would immediately be time for the leadership transition. Both matters would be completed this week.
Looking at the stunning girl in the white dress before her, Su Baizhou asked calmly, "Why do you want to join the Student Union?"
Hearing that, the girl looked at Su Baizhou and only felt that the Senior Sister before her had an overwhelmingly powerful presence. The aura of the Iceberg Goddess filled the room.
The people around them were also watching the two of them.
On the stage was the Jiang University Campus Belle, the Iceberg Goddess, the Talented Woman who captivated everyone.
Below the stage was the New Student Campus Belle, an innocent and lovely girl in a white dress, someone who had the potential to become the next Jiang University Campus Belle after Su Baizhou graduated.
The conversation between two peerless beauties drew everyone's attention and left the other interviewers unable to intervene.
"I... want to become someone like you."
Tang Enqi gathered her courage and spoke firmly.
She also wanted to become someone as outstanding as Su Baizhou—a decisive Student Union President and the Jiang University Talented Woman admired by all.
"Is that so?"
Su Baizhou remained expressionless. She casually glanced at the girl before her and said flatly, "You can go now. You'll be notified shortly whether you've been accepted."
That one sentence choked off all the words Tang Enqi had prepared.
Su Baizhou did not like her.
In this first-year student's eyes, she saw a desire called ambition.
Such a person would never be content with the status quo. She would do everything she could to climb upward, until she reached the position everyone envied.
At school, her goal was to become Student Union President. Outside of school, her goal would be to become a general manager, perhaps even a CEO.
She would never be satisfied and would want to claim every beautiful thing for herself.
Yet she hid it well, making everyone around her believe she was an innocent girl free of worldly desires.
But... she was still too green, so green that Su Baizhou saw through her at a glance.
Because Su Baizhou was someone even more forceful than she was.
