3 – The Very Handsome and Cool Shen Xiuyu
Ruan Tiantian returned to the girls’ dormitory and pushed open the door.
She saw her several roommates, and it felt so good to meet them again in this lifetime.
The three girls turned to look at her, and the four of them stared at each other for a while.
To be precise, Fu Li, Xu Qi, and Ling Yushi were sizing up Ruan Tiantian from head to toe, not missing a single detail.
Their three intense gazes lingered on her, making Ruan Tiantian feel a bit uneasy and somewhat unreal.
Fu Li, who was closest to her, took off her headphones, walked over, and pulled Ruan Tiantian inside by the hand.
“You must be Ruan Tiantian, right? You’re so pretty.”
As she spoke, she reached out her hand and asked, looking at Ruan Tiantian’s fair and delicate face, “Can I pinch your cheek?”
Ruan Tiantian smiled and nodded, her eyes slightly moist. She tried her best to appear natural.
At that moment, Xu Qi walked over. “Alright, don’t scare our little cutie.”
Ruan Tiantian looked at them and reintroduced herself, just as she had when they first met in her previous life.
“Hello, I’m Ruan Tiantian. I just arrived at school today to register.”
Fu Li exclaimed, “Wow, your voice is so nice too, damn!”
Xu Qi introduced them to her. “This is Fu Li, I’m Xu Qi, and that girl over there is Ling Yushi.”
“Our homeroom teacher mentioned earlier that there was still one girl in our class who hadn’t registered. I never expected it to be a little fairy.”
Ling Yushi glanced at Ruan Tiantian’s pure and fair face and pursed her lips.
She had thought she would be the class beauty of Software Engineering Class 1, but now a girl prettier than her had arrived.
For some reason, she didn’t really like this girl.
So fair, so thin, and looking so innocent—exactly the type boys would like.
Ruan Tiantian placed the books in her hand on her desk and said to them, “Yeah, I arrived a bit late. Have you started classes yet?”
Xu Qi couldn’t help but complain to her and pointed at her own face.
“Look, we clearly just went through the torment of military training. When I first arrived, my skin was still smooth and tender, but after one round of training, I’ve turned into an African.”
Ruan Tiantian looked at the three girls. They did seem a bit tanned, but it wasn’t too exaggerated.
“You’ll get your fair skin back later.”
Fu Li always wanted to get close to pretty girls.
She wrapped an arm around Ruan Tiantian. “Now that our dormitory is finally complete, we must have a good gathering tonight.”
Ling Yushi, sitting in her seat painting her nails, said, “Did you forget? Our class is having a dinner gathering tonight.”
Fu Li slapped her thigh. “Oh right, I almost forgot.”
Ruan Tiantian asked, “A dinner gathering?”
Xu Qi replied, “Yeah, it’s a gathering for our Software Engineering Class 1. Since military training just ended, everyone’s gotten along pretty well and wanted to hang out.”
“But you probably haven’t joined our class group chat yet, right?”
Xu Qi took out her phone, opened WeChat, and said, “Let me add you to our class group chat. Otherwise, no one will know you.”
Ruan Tiantian took out her phone and opened her QR code.
Xu Qi added her as a friend and then added Ruan Tiantian to both the class and dormitory group chats.
Fu Li pulled over a few chairs and gestured for the two of them to sit down.
“Tiantian, you just got here, so you don’t know—our Software Class 1 has a celebrity, Shen Xiuyu. You don’t know him, right?”
How could she not know him? In her past life, he was always blocking her way, teasing her for fun. Whenever she saw him, it was like a chick spotting an eagle—she couldn’t wait to keep her distance.
Still, she cooperatively shook her head. “No, I don’t.”
Ling Yushi, overhearing their discussion about Shen Xiuyu, rolled her eyes where they couldn’t see and continued painting her nails.
Fu Li said, “Let me tell you, Shen Xiuyu used to be at B University’s affiliated high school. I heard he was both the school’s top troublemaker and heartthrob for three years straight.”
Xu Qi added, “But that’s not the key point.”
Ruan Tiantian asked, “What is the key point?”
Fu Li grinned. “You’ll get to see him in person tonight. He’s seriously super handsome!”
“You have no idea—since the day he first enrolled, he’s been all over the school’s confession wall.”
Xu Qi chimed in, “From day one, he’s been active on the confession wall. A bunch of senior girls and classmates have been asking about him. Being good-looking really gets you everywhere.”
Ruan Tiantian carefully recalled Shen Xiuyu’s appearance.
Was he handsome? Yes, he definitely was, but the tattoos on his hands made him seem unapproachable, along with the fierce look in his eyes.
She thought Shen Xiuyu looked both intimidating and bad, with a hint of roguishness in his every move.
Her impression of boys was of those who wore school uniforms and obediently listened in class.
As for guys like Shen Xiuyu, his handsomeness was just too aggressive. She still felt a little wary of him.
