You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

All eyes in the audience turned to him.

Especially among the girls, several of them had already secretly taken out their phones to take pictures.

Her reaction was exactly the same as when the boys saw Su Qinghe earlier.

After Jiang Che stood on the stage, he picked up the microphone, adjusted the distance, and calmly said:

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Che, I am from Lincheng, Jiang Province, and my major is Business Administration."

"As for hobbies... nothing special. I usually like to read books, play games, and occasionally play volleyball."

Two simple sentences, without any unnecessary embellishment or deliberate attempt to be funny.

But it is precisely this carefree and relaxed feeling that is more appealing than any meticulously prepared introduction.

Many girls in the audience covered their lips and gasped softly.

"Oh my god, he's so handsome..."

"That voice is so soothing..."

"Is he also from Jiang Province? I'll ask for his WeChat later, and say we're from the same hometown and looking out for each other..."

Although the whispers were kept low, they were still clearly audible in the quiet classroom.

Jiang Che listened to the discussions below the stage without any change in expression. After speaking, he nodded slightly to the audience and turned to walk back to his seat.

After Xu Wenbin sat down, he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Old Jiang, if you were single, you'd probably get confessed to seven or eight times at this meet-and-greet."

Jiang Che and Xu Wenbin had gotten to know each other better over the course of the day, so Jiang Che wasn't as aloof as before and started to play along, showing off as he went along with Xu Wenbin's words.

"Brother Bao, I think your Brother Jiang was the Eddie Peng of Lincheng back in the day. Girls wanted to chase me all the time, okay? This is nothing compared to what I've seen today."

Xu Wenbin: "Brother, don't you think you're speaking a bit too loudly?"

Jiang Che: "?"

Xu Wenbin pointed to Su Qinghe in front of him.

Jiang Che looked in the direction he was pointing and was met with a pair of beautiful eyes that were filled with a cold smile.

Su Qinghe's cherry lips curved slightly, and she then mouthed a message to Jiang Che—

You're in for a rough time tonight.

Jiang Che: ...

Oh no, he was so focused on showing off that he forgot his girlfriend was sitting right in front of him...

The self-introduction session continued.

There were still over a hundred people behind them, and it took almost half an hour to go through them one by one.

After the last person was introduced, Fang Yizhou gave a few routine instructions and then left the classroom with his two assistants.

The atmosphere in the classroom changed from formal to a free and communicative mode.

Groups of freshmen started striking up conversations and adding each other on WeChat, making the entire classroom as noisy as a market.

Jiang Che originally planned to stand up and leave with Su Qinghe, but as soon as he stood up, he saw that several boys had already gathered around Su Qinghe's seat in the front row.

"Hi classmate, my name is Zhou Zeyu, and I'm also an accounting major. I thought you had a great presence when I read your self-introduction. Could I add you on WeChat? We can sit together in class sometime."

Another, shorter boy retorted, "I'm Su from Jiang Province! We're from the same hometown, wanna join me?"

Su Qinghe's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her smile was polite but distant.

It doesn't feel too cold, nor does it give people any illusion that they can get too close.

"Thank you, but no need."

His tone was calm, clean, and concise, without any unnecessary explanation.

The boys clearly wanted to say something more, but Su Qinghe had already looked away from them and turned to look at the seats behind her.

She is looking for Jiang Che.

But the seat behind me was already empty.

Su Qinghe frowned slightly.

Where did A-Che go?

She stood up, tiptoed, and glanced at the back of the classroom, but still couldn't see Jiang Che.

There wasn't one on the podium, nor in the hallway.

A strange unease rose in her heart.

Shen Shiyu noticed that she was looking around and asked softly, "What's wrong, Qinghe?"

"I'm looking for Jiang Che. He was just behind me a moment ago, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye..."

"Huh? I just saw him behind us!"

Shen Shiyu was also a little confused, so she helped her look around.

She quickly noticed something was amiss, reached out and patted Su Qinghe's shoulder, "Qinghe, look over there—"

Shen Shiyu raised her hand and pointed to the back right side of the classroom, near the door.

Su Qinghe looked in the direction she was pointing—

Then she saw something that made her blood pressure spike.

Jiang Che was standing next to the aisle on the right rear side of the classroom, near the door, surrounded by a group of girls.

There were probably eight or nine of them, and they were all very good-looking and had great figures.

"Jiang Che, right? My name is Han Yuxuan, and I'm also a business administration major! Let's add each other on WeChat so we can save seats for each other in class."

"Jiang Che, you look so mature and charming! Did you study acting or something like that before?"

"You like playing volleyball? What a coincidence, me too! If you don't mind, we can play together..."

They chattered away, surrounding Jiang Che like a giant panda being fed at a zoo.

Jiang Che was truly on the verge of tears. He had originally intended to wait for Su Qinghe to come out of the classroom, but he was intercepted as soon as he reached the door.

He couldn't possibly agree to add them on WeChat, but these people weren't bad people; it was just normal social interaction, and he felt bad about being rude and driving them away.

So all I could do was politely decline with phrases like "I'm sorry," "No need to add it," and "Thank you."

But the girls seemed to completely ignore his rejection, becoming more and more enthusiastic the more he refused, and some even went to call their companions for courage.

Jiang Che felt a bit overwhelmed.

Just then, a beautiful and slender figure walked through the crowd, followed by a clear and cool voice that reached everyone's ears—

"Sorry everyone, he has a girlfriend."

Su Qinghe wrapped her right arm tightly around Jiang Che's left arm, and naturally pressed herself against his side.

The close proximity and the clear stance made it impossible for anyone present to have any misunderstandings.

The girls surrounding Jiang Che were taken aback by the sudden intruder and instinctively took a half step back.

Then they saw the person's face clearly.

That's Su Qinghe, the one who introduced herself on stage and made all the boys in the audience sit up straight.

Su Qinghe looked up at the girls, her smile gentle and tender.

But those clear eyes were filled with coldness and danger.

"So please, everyone, you don't need to add him on WeChat anymore."

The girls exchanged glances, their faces showing some embarrassment.

One of the bolder ones wanted to say something, but as soon as he looked up and met Su Qinghe's smiling but cold eyes, he swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"I'm sorry, we were just having normal social interactions, there was nothing more to it."

"Mm." Su Qinghe nodded, her tone light and airy. "I know, I didn't mean anything by it."
