Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

In the 300-square-meter single-level apartment of Qingyue No. 1 Mansion, the air is just right.

The soft evening light made the empty room appear exceptionally bright and airy.

Shen Zhiyi lowered her head, her ears still burning hot.

The confined atmosphere of being alone just now had left her mind in a jumbled mess.

All sorts of random guesses kept churning in my mind.

Seeing her awkward and shy appearance, Zhang Yifan stopped teasing her.

His tone was very serious, without a trace of joking.

"This will be our little home for the next four years of university."

The girl's reserve made her instinctively retort with a stubborn retort.

"Don't talk nonsense about who's related to your little family."

He was very stubborn, but his heart softened secretly.

Zhang Yifan smiled faintly.

I simply showed her around the whole house.

There was no flaunting of wealth or boasting throughout the entire event.

I just casually mentioned that if I didn't want to squeeze into the dorm, I could come and stay here.

Shen Zhiyi was very sensible and didn't ask about personal matters like house prices or location throughout the entire process.

The two had excellent chemistry and neither liked to link feelings with material things.

After touring the house, the two went out together.

We finalized the plans for dinner that evening on the way.

I just started school today, and I'm meeting both of my roommates for the first time; we're complete strangers.

It would be perfect to get to know each other and get to know one another during dinner.

Zhang Yifan chose the barbecue restaurant with the best reputation near the school gate.

It has a lively atmosphere, affordable prices, and a relaxing ambiance.

There's absolutely no need for those fancy, high-end displays.

Shen Zhiyi had no objection whatsoever.

For her, being with people she likes and comfortable friends is more important than anything else.

The sky grew completely dark.

Streetlights illuminated the Tsinghua University campus.

The two parted ways at the school gate and went back to their dormitories to pack and prepare.

This is the boys' dormitory area.

Wang Hao, Lin Zhe, and Zhao Peng had just finished packing their luggage and making their beds.

The four of them met for the first time today and were just getting to know each other as roommates.

Zhang Yifan's three roommates knew from their casual chat in the morning that he had a girlfriend.

But he knew nothing about this mysterious girlfriend.

I don't know what they look like, what their personality is, or what their circumstances are.

All I know is that Zhang Yifan has excellent taste.

Zhang Yifan pushed the door open and casually spoke.

"I'm treating tonight, we'll have barbecue near the school gate. My girlfriend is coming over, and you guys can get to know each other."

Wang Hao immediately looked up.

"Great, Brother Zhang, I can finally meet your wife."

Zhao Peng casually chimed in.

"I've been curious for a long time about what kind of girl could win over the toughest guy in our dorm."

Lin Zhe was a man of few words, but he nodded silently, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The four of them quickly packed their things and left on time.

The atmosphere in the girls' dormitory on the other side was completely different.

Shen Zhiyi's three roommates are Xia Ran, Liu Fei, and Su Man.

The four of them just formed a dorm room today, and it's the first time they've met, so they're still quite unfamiliar with each other.

During the first half day of registration, everyone assumed that Shen Zhiyi was the most beautiful girl in the dormitory.

With her clean-cut demeanor and outstanding appearance, she stood out among the new students.

No one is not curious whether such a beautiful girl has a boyfriend.

During their casual conversation, they learned that Shen Zhiyi was already in a relationship, and all three girls were filled with intense curiosity.

What kind of guy could win over Shen Zhiyi?

Is he handsome? Has good grades? Or comes from an extremely wealthy family?

Shen Zhiyi entered the room and spoke softly.

"My boyfriend is treating us to dinner tonight, so we can all get to know each other."

Xia Ran, being gentle and easy-going, immediately agreed.

"Great! I've been wanting to get to know you for a long time."

Liu Fei is very outgoing and always has a gossip-loving look in her eyes.

"We have to go! I want to see what kind of amazing guy has captured Zhiyi's heart."

Only Su Man secretly started making plans in her mind.

In her understanding.

He is a perfect match for a stunning beauty like Shen Zhiyi.

He must be a rich second-generation heir with top-notch looks, family background, and abilities.

She didn't say it aloud, but her anticipation was at its peak.

She assumed tonight would definitely be a high-end dinner party.

It's exactly 7 o'clock.

The eight people met at the barbecue restaurant near the school gate.

When the boys first saw Shen Zhiyi, they were all stunned.

The girl under the lights had a clean and elegant demeanor, and her looks outshone everyone else on the street.

Wang Hao's pupils dilated.

My mind was racing.

I rely on.

Is this Zhang Yifan's girlfriend?

With looks like that, even at Tsinghua University, it would be top-tier.

Zhao Peng's lips twitched slightly as he silently sighed.

The differences between people are truly outrageous.

He has top grades, is low-key and gentle, and has such a beautiful girlfriend.

Even Lin Zhe's usually calm eyes showed a hint of surprise.

On the other hand, let's look at the girls' side.

I saw Zhang Yifan, who was just ordinary, clean, and dressed simply and casually.

Then I saw a down-to-earth street-side barbecue restaurant in front of me.

The expectation on Su Man's face shattered instantly.

The sense of disappointment is overwhelming.

In her eyes.

With looks like Shen Zhiyi, she should marry into a wealthy family.

They should frequent high-end restaurants.

The first time I introduced my roommate to someone, it turned out to be at a roadside barbecue stall.

She instantly labeled Zhang Yifan with two tags in her mind: ordinary and stingy.

Everyone took their seats.

The atmosphere was polite yet reserved during our first meeting.

The boy was still reeling from the shock of "my sister-in-law is so beautiful".

Xia Ran and Liu Fei, the girls, maintained polite smiles throughout.

Only Su Man was completely uninterested, her face full of disgust.

Zhang Yifan naturally took the menu.

We ordered a full range of dishes, including meat, vegetables, snacks, and drinks.

His attitude was generous and relaxed, without a trace of pettiness.

After placing his order, he got up and went to the front desk to confirm it.

In those few short seconds, Su Man made no attempt to hide anything.

Completely ignoring the three boys sitting next to him, he leaned close to Shen Zhiyi's ear and spoke sarcastically in front of everyone.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the person sitting next to them to hear clearly.

"Zhiyi, I really don't understand you."

With your looks and your demeanor, you'd have a ton of rich second-generation suitors chasing after you.

Why did you have to choose such an ordinary person?

It's a bit stingy to take my roommate out for roadside barbecue on our first meeting.

"With your qualities, there's really no need for you to compromise yourself by finding someone who's unwilling to spend money."

The moment those words were spoken, the air became instantly awkward.

The three boys present froze simultaneously.

Xia Ran's expression changed, and she quickly tugged at Su Man's sleeve.

Liu Fei frowned, feeling that these words were too offensive.

Everyone thought that Shen Zhiyi would smooth things over out of consideration for her roommates.

But they all underestimated Shen Zhiyi's protectiveness.

The gentleness on Shen Zhiyi's face vanished instantly.

His eyes were cold and clear as he stared directly at Su Man, showing no sign of backing down.

The sound was clear, and the person next to me could hear it perfectly.

"It's none of your business to judge my boyfriend."

What's wrong with eating barbecue? It's comfortable, relaxing, and genuine—a million times better than those superficial displays.

Zhang Yifan is an open and generous person, but he doesn't like to engage in superficial projects.

He has never been stingy with his friends or me.

You judge someone as stingy and ordinary based solely on the venue of a single meal.

It's really boring that you have such a shallow view of people.

If you think this place is cheap, no one will force you not to eat here.

His words were concise and to the point, each word carrying weight.

He immediately made Su Man turn pale.

Su Man froze in her seat.

His lips twitched, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

She never expected that Shen Zhiyi, who was usually gentle and quiet, would...

She actually showed no mercy to her in public because of her boyfriend.

The entire room fell silent instantly.
