Who Is the Prettiest?

By the time Su Lexuan's military training ended, it was already late September, yet the weather was still unbearably hot.

Even the occasional breeze carried a scorching breath.

Other than construction workers laboring beneath the blazing sun, few students were willing to wander around campus in broad daylight.

Only when night fell, or when the weather cooled down slightly,

would the freshmen gradually come out to socialize and curiously explore this university they had only just arrived at.

If they were lucky, they might even run into a few couples sneaking around in the woods by the artificial lake.

One sweltering afternoon, in the girls' dormitory.

Su Lexuan's roommates had finished dressing up and were preparing to meet the boyfriend the Campus Belle had been hiding for nearly a month.

Su Lexuan's roommates were all pretty and well-built.

Ye Xinxin in particular was no less attractive or shapely than Su Lexuan.

It was just that Ye Xinxin was more of a homebody. She rarely showed herself around other students during breaks, unintentionally becoming a mere foil to Su Lexuan.

Even if someone had caught a glimpse of Ye Xinxin's beauty and approached her for her contact information, she would simply smile and say that she already had a boyfriend.

To this online flirt who had seen countless men, boys were merely something to pass the time with.

Her standards for choosing a partner were unconventional, even bizarre, and she had only ever told her best friend Su Lexuan about them. Ordinary boys simply could not meet her requirements.

Su Lexuan often mocked her best friend too, saying her standards were ridiculously bizarre.

Today was the first day after the long and grueling military training ended, as well as the first day of the seven-day holiday.

Zhuhai University held decent prestige in Jianghai City, a place where every inch of land was worth a fortune. It was considered an above-average university and had produced a few outstanding talents who had made the newspapers.

Outside Zhuhai University's gates were students in school uniforms with sun-darkened skin, along with quite a few parents who had driven over to pick up their children for the holiday.

Most of them were parents of freshmen.

By their second or third year, not only would parents be too lazy to come, but the students themselves would also be too lazy to travel thousands of miles home.

When Su Lexuan and her roommates appeared at the school gates in their dressed-up best, they immediately drew the attention of many students and parents.

Quite a few parents even asked their children whether she was the girl who had sung on Douyin some time ago.

Summer was the season for girls to show off their figures and express themselves.

Most girls at the school gates wore short skirts, displaying their slender, evenly proportioned legs and fully showing off feminine elegance and charm.

Su Lexuan was dressed rather coolly today as well.

She wore a white T-shirt printed with a cartoon Mickey Mouse, paired with light-blue denim shorts that revealed her long, slender, slightly bronze legs.

The sweet, expectant smile on her face as she chatted and laughed with her roommates especially caught the attention of many boys.

The first-love template buried deep in the hearts of many boys was exactly this sort of sweet and cheerful girl.

Even if her skin had gotten a little darker from the sun, she was still one of Zhuhai University's Campus Belles, the White Moonlight countless boys could only dream of having.

Unfortunately, rumors had spread throughout the school that Su Lexuan already had a boyfriend. Though Su Lexuan herself had never explained anything, some boys still held onto a sliver of hope.

Until a few days ago, when the boys spotted the pink necklace around Su Lexuan's neck, the campus forum erupted in wails of despair, with countless boys declaring themselves heartbroken.

Someone had confirmed that Su Lexuan was wearing the most popular couple's necklace sold on Douyin.

This necklace worth a few hundred yuan symbolized that the White Moonlight countless boys longed for had already been won over by some guy!

Ye Xinxin raised a hand to block the blazing sun. "Xuan~ Has your lover arrived yet? It's so hot~"

"Pah, he's your lover!"

Su Lexuan's little face reddened slightly as she spat back, laughing as she reached over to tug at her best friend's mouth. The other roommates covered their mouths and giggled nearby.

After fooling around for a while, Su Lexuan finally said, "He said he's on the way and will be here soon."

Just then, Shen Lang's silver Mercedes appeared at the end of the road. Su Lexuan eagerly waved at him. "He's here!"

Her roommates quickly followed Su Lexuan's gaze. They really wanted to see just how handsome the guy who had managed to win Zhuhai University's Campus Belle was!

Ye Xinxin nodded in approval. "Oh, a Mercedes. Looks like he has a little money."

Shen Lang parked beside them. The moment he got out, Su Lexuan could not help complaining, "Why did you take so long? It's so hot outside!"

"The traffic was terrible. This road is full of cars picking up kids to take them home."

Shen Lang gently wiped the fine sweat from Su Lexuan's forehead, then picked up her arm, which had been tanned slightly bronze by the sun. He found it both amusing and a little heartbreaking.

"You got way too tan. Couldn't you have asked your instructor for leave? Back when I had military training, almost all the girls in my class took leave."

"Oh, come on. None of the girls in my class took leave. I'd have been too embarrassed to get special treatment."

Su Lexuan grumbled indignantly, though her face remained filled with a dependent smile. Then her gaze suddenly fell on the silver necklace around Shen Lang's neck.

"Hehe, the necklace I picked looks nice, right?"

"Yeah, it's all right."

Shen Lang also noticed that Su Lexuan was wearing the pink necklace he had bought for her.

"Hey, hey, you two, could you maybe consider our feelings?"

As the two of them flirted shamelessly, Ye Xinxin said with a laugh, "It's blazing hot out here. Can you let us get in the car first? Once we're in the car, I won't care if you strip naked and keep chatting!"

"They're my roommates, and this is my best friend, Ye Xinxin."

Only then did Su Lexuan remember the roommates and her best friend behind her. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she hurriedly introduced everyone.

When introducing Shen Lang, Su Lexuan said somewhat proudly and dismissively, "His name is Shen Lang. You all know that already, so I won't say much more."

Shen Lang looked at the group of lovely girls, and system prompts immediately appeared before his eyes.

1: Friendly compliment: Hehe, you're all so pretty. Looks like my car is in for a treat today.

2: Disdainful question: Do you girls have no sense at all? Don't you know how to call a taxi? Do you understand what private time for two means?

3: Eager invitation: Tsk, tsk, you're all pretty. Let's go have fun at the beach. I'll rent a yacht, and we can throw a party together!

"Hello, everyone."

Shen Lang greeted them amicably, then briefly glanced over the roommates' faces and complimented them with a smile. "You're all so pretty. Looks like my car is in for a treat today."

The roommates all smiled a little shyly, feeling rather pleased inside.

No girl disliked being told she was pretty by a boy. That was also the main reason there were so many simps.

Complimenting girls depended on the occasion and circumstances. Otherwise, blindly throwing around compliments without thinking would only turn someone into a simp!

Ye Xinxin's eyes flickered, and a teasing smile curled across her lips. "Then, Shen Lang, aside from your girlfriend, who do you think is the prettiest?"
