On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

The next day, early in the morning.

"Brother Yu! Brother Yu! Wake up! Something terrible has happened!!"

Liu Yu's blanket was yanked off by a brute force.

"Damn it, are you trying to kill me?!" Liu Yu was jolted awake, all sleepiness gone.

"No, Brother Yu, something really bad has happened!"

Du Peng shoved his phone in front of Liu Yu's face, "Look! The confession wall and the campus WeChat official account! The headline!"

Liu Yu squinted at the screen.

Countdown to Tsinghua and Peking University Welcome Parties! The Top Student Revealed – A Perfect Blend of Looks and Talent!

Below the title is a high-resolution image of a huge poster.

The poster design is visually striking.

Against a deep blue starry sky background, a boy's silhouette is shown in profile in the center.

Next to the silhouette, the words "Mysterious Center Newcomer ~ Guitar Playing and Singing" are written in cool font.

Below the silhouette is a line of small print: Computer Science Department ~ Liu Yu.

In the upper right corner of the poster, there is also a candid photo of him during rehearsal.

In the photo, he is holding a guitar with his head slightly bowed. His profile is clearly defined under the light, his eyes are focused, and his fingers are brushing across the strings.

The photos are really well taken—he looks quite handsome.

Li Ning said, "The current readership has exceeded 10,000, with over 3,000 likes and more than 800 comments."

Zhang Chunli leaned over and said, "Brother Yu, your photo... the comments section is exploding!"

Liu Yu snatched the phone and scrolled down the comments.

Liu Yu's eyelids twitched as he read it.

"This is just the beginning!"

Du Peng put his arm around Liu Yu's shoulder. "Once this poster is put up in the square and hung up in each dormitory building during the day, I bet by tonight, at least half the students in the whole school will know your name!"

Liu Yu's mind was buzzing.

He just wanted to go on a show, sing a song, show off in front of Su Wanqing, and incidentally complete his class assignment.

How did I end up in the center position?!

Why are posters flying everywhere?!

He went to the balcony and splashed his face with cold water.

My phone vibrated.

[Tsinghua and Peking University campus belle 36D: Wow, that's a lot! She's debuted in the center position! The photos are pretty good, she looks great in them.]

[Tsinghua and Peking University campus belle with 36D bust: (Look closely with a magnifying glass.jpg) Those eyelashes are indeed quite long.]

Looking at the message, Liu Yu felt inexplicably guilty.

[Foot massage therapist #36: ...You saw it too!]

[Tsinghua and Peking University's most beautiful girl with a 36D bust: Nonsense, the post has been sent to all the grade-level groups, it's impossible not to see it. Everyone in my class group is talking about you right now.]

[Foot massage therapist #36: ...What are they discussing?!]

[The 36D bust of Tsinghua and Peking University's campus belle: Discussions are about when you'll hold a fan meeting, how you hooked up with the campus belle, how well you play the guitar, and whether your... eight-pack abs are real.]

[Foot massage therapist #36: !!! What the heck is that last comment?!]

[The 36D bust of Tsinghua and Peking University's most beautiful girls: Wang Qian said so. She said, "Look, you have eight-pack abs."]

[Foot massage therapist #36: ...Are all you girls this daring in your conversations?!]

[Tsinghua and Peking University beauty with 36D bust: That depends on who I'm talking to~ (evil grin.jpg)]

[Tsinghua and Peking University's most beautiful girl with a 36D bust: But seriously, he's handsome in the photos. This princess has good taste; I've struck gold.]

[Foot massage therapist #36: Come on. Lunch at the usual place!]

[Tsinghua and Peking University's 36D campus belle: Okay, give me a chance to treat a top celebrity to dinner, so I can soak up some of their star power~]

[Foot massage therapist #36: Get out! Oil-splashed noodles, extra spicy, extra garlic, extra vinegar, remember that.]

[Tsinghua and Peking University's 36D campus belle: Okay, okay~ Stop nagging. Hurry up and get ready, don't be late for class. Even a star like you needs to maintain a good image.]

After putting down his phone, Liu Yu felt much less anxious.

A few students were on their way to class, passing by the school square!

Nine huge posters promoting the welcome party stretched all the way to the student activity center.

The poster in the very center, the one that was most conspicuous, was already surrounded by students attending class.

"My~ darling~"

"You're going to be famous! You're really going to be famous! From today onwards, everyone at Tsinghua and Peking Universities will know about Liu Yu from the Computer Science Department. He's handsome, can sing, and even has his picture on the center of the posters!"

More and more students gathered around, and whispers rose and fell.

"That's Liu Yu in the middle, right? A freshman in the Computer Science department!"

"Yes, I heard it's the one Su Wanqing brought him water."

"He's really handsome...that profile is amazing."

"I have to go check it out Wednesday night; I've already managed to snag the tickets."

Several girls stood not far away, looking at the poster while secretly glancing at Liu Yu in person, then looking down to compare it with the poster, letting out suppressed gasps of amazement.

"He's even more handsome in person than in the poster..."

"Her skin is so nice, and her nose is so straight..."

"He looks about 1.85 meters tall! His legs are so long..."

"I wonder if he has a girlfriend..."

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see Su Wanqing, the school beauty? That day when she was handing out water on the playground, the confession wall was flooded with messages."

"That doesn't necessarily mean they're boyfriend and girlfriend...what if they're just good friends!"

"My best friend gave me a bottle of water that costs over 3,000 yuan! Would you give your best friend a bottle of water that costs over 3,000 yuan?"

"...That's true."

Liu Yu felt extremely uncomfortable and tugged at Du Peng and the others, saying, "Let's go, let's go, we're going to be late for class."

And so, on his way from the dormitory to the teaching building, Liu Yu received the highest number of stares since the school was founded.

Upon entering the classroom, it caused a small commotion.

"Brother Yu is here!"

"The big boss has arrived!"

"Liu Yu, the poster is so cool!"

"Please reserve a good spot for Wednesday night!"

Lin Xiaoyu, who was in the second row, glanced back at Liu Yu, her face slightly flushed, and then quickly turned back.

Du Peng, as the class monitor, puffed out his chest, as if he were the person in the poster: "Quiet down, everyone! Quiet down! Focus on the lesson! If you want to see the real person, wait until after class. Remember to come and support us on Wednesday night!"

During the morning's "C Programming Language" class, the old professor suddenly pushed up his glasses and looked at the audience halfway through: "Um... is Liu Yu here?"

Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up: "Yes."

The old professor glanced at him and nodded. "Oh, the one on the poster. It's alright, have a seat. I was just confirming if he's in our class. Let's continue the lesson."

The whole class burst into laughter.

As soon as the bell rang, Liu Yu fled the classroom and headed straight for the Bauhinia Garden.

Su Wanqing was already sitting in her usual spot, with two bowls of noodles in front of her.

She wore a beige knitted cardigan over a light blue shirt, paired with dark blue jeans and white sneakers.

Her long hair was loosely tied into a low ponytail, with a few wisps of hair hanging down beside her ears, making her look refreshing and gentle.

Seeing Liu Yu approach, her eyes crinkled into a smile: "Oh, the star of the show has arrived! I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner!"

Liu Yu sat down opposite her and picked up his chopsticks: "Come on. The noodles aren't clumped together, are they?"

"It's freshly served, still hot." Su Wanqing placed her fried egg on Liu Yu's plate as a reward for our star student's attentive attention in class this morning.

"Thanks." He picked up the fried egg and took a bite.

"How does it feel to be a campus celebrity!" Su Wanqing said, resting her chin on her hand and smiling at him.

"Not good. People stare at me when I walk, and they talk about me in class..."

Su Wanqing raised an eyebrow: "Who's talking about you! Tell me, and I'll have Wang Qian scold them."

Liu Yu chuckled: "Fine, people can say whatever they want."

"I really don't care!"

"What's the use of caring! Let others say what they want."

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up.

She liked Liu Yu's attitude.

Neither humble nor arrogant, but possessing her own pride.

"Okay, that's good." Su Wanqing gave a thumbs up. "But speaking of which, you're a celebrity now, so pay attention to your image when you go out in the future, don't embarrass me."

"How could I embarrass you like this!"

"You're my eldest son now," Su Wanqing said matter-of-factly.

Liu Yu: "Oh! Who was that begging for mercy, Daddy, that day?!"

"Get lost...that was a slip of the tongue!"

The two bickered as they ate noodles, just like always.

After finishing his meal, Liu Yu went to the student activity center for rehearsal.

"I don't have classes this afternoon, I'm going to the library," Su Wanqing said. "Let's have dinner together after rehearsal tonight!"

"Okay." Liu Yu nodded. "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, you decide." Su Wanqing waved her hand.

Liu Yu watched her retreating figure, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Student Activity Center, Multi-functional Hall.

When Liu Yu arrived, there were already people rehearsing inside; it was a group of boys who did street dance, and the music was deafening.

Teacher Xu Yao and Du Ningxuan were both there.

Upon seeing Liu Yu, Teacher Xu Yao nodded: "You're here! Please sit down and wait a moment; this program will be over soon."

Du Ningxuan greeted him with a smile: "Junior Liu Yu, how are you feeling today! Did you see the poster?"

"I saw it, thank you senior and Teacher Xu," Liu Yu replied politely.

"What are you thanking me for? It's because you're so attractive." Du Ningxuan wore a red dress that accentuated her fair skin, her makeup was exquisite, and she had a faint scent of perfume.

"The WeChat official account was incredibly popular today, with so many people asking about you, the newcomer in the center position. Tickets for the gala are already sold out, probably because many people came specifically for you."

Liu Yu was a little embarrassed: "You flatter me, senior."

"That's not an exaggeration at all." Du Ningxuan stared at him intently. "I listened to the original version of that song you rehearsed yesterday many times, but I felt that none of them had the same flavor as yours. Your arrangement was really great, and your emotional handling was particularly delicate."

Her gaze was so focused, and her tone so sincere, that Liu Yu was a little overwhelmed.

"Um... senior, I'll go over there and tune my guitar first." Liu Yu made an excuse and slipped away to a corner of the stage.

Du Ningxuan watched his retreating figure, a smile playing on her lips.

This junior is interesting.

He's handsome, talented, and so...shy.

After the street dance program ended, teacher Xu Yao gave a few comments, and then it was Liu Yu's turn.

"Liu Yu, go through the entire process again today. Including going on stage, adjusting the microphone, singing, bowing, and leaving the stage. We need to make sure every step is flawless."

"Okay, teacher."
