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

"Young Master Luo's entourage is unparalleled among the entire Tsinghua University freshmen."

"Let alone freshmen, which upperclassman has that kind of guts?"

"If Shen Xuemei saw this scene today, she'd be completely smitten."

"She has a great family background, good looks, and a romantic personality—who could resist that?"

As a barrage of compliments rained down, Basil's smile grew even wider.

He falls for that.

He is on campus, holds real power in the student union, and has a top-tier financial backer.

From childhood to adulthood, he has almost never missed out on anything he wanted.

Not to mention a freshman girl who has just enrolled.

In his eyes, Shen Zhiyi's so-called aloofness and reserve were nothing but an act.

They've just never seen the real resources and prestige.

Today's flower field publicity campaign has given the other side a way out.

If the other party is sensible and steps down gracefully, it will be easy to establish a connection with him.

Basil glanced at his watch, his tone nonchalant.

"Wait ten more minutes."

Seeing the scene, they should come down.

The attendant beside him quickly echoed his sentiments.

"Of course, with Young Master Luo personally taking action, there's no way he would fail."

Some people took out their phones and started taking photos and videos.

I plan to upload it to the campus forum as soon as possible to generate buzz and create hype.

I'm going to let all the teachers and students see who the real top figures at Tsinghua University are.

More and more onlookers gathered, creating a lively atmosphere of gossip.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the female lead to appear, waiting for a romantic confession to take place.

Su Man, standing to the side, remained a cold observer throughout.

She didn't join in the fun, nor did she praise the others.

I just stood silently at the edge of the crowd, my mind churning with thoughts.

Looking at the ostentatious and luxurious scene before me, and comparing it with the scene in the classroom during the class meeting just now.

The sense of disparity is instantly overwhelming.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

People were still coming and going downstairs in the dormitory building.

But the figure everyone was waiting for never appeared.

They didn't go downstairs, didn't stop, and didn't make the slightest sound.

The lively crowd gradually quieted down.

The initial chorus of praise gradually thinned out.

Many people slowly lowered their hands from their phones.

Before the melon could even arrive, the situation became awkward.

The composed smile on Basil's face gradually froze.

What started as a sure thing gradually turned into an embarrassing situation where people couldn't save face.

He had rarely had such an embarrassing moment in his life.

They put on a grand show and generated a lot of buzz online beforehand, but the main character was nowhere to be seen.

To put it bluntly, they simply didn't take his publicity stunt seriously.

The onlookers began to whisper among themselves.

"Where is he? Why didn't he come down?"

"Could they be deliberately avoiding you?"

"This is awkward. They put on such a grand show, but no one is there to take it."

The discussions were not loud, but every word was jarring.

Basil's face darkened completely.

Just as the situation was about to completely freeze, Su Man stepped forward.

She remained calm, neither trying to ingratiate herself nor deliberately distancing herself.

He seemed like a simple passerby who was just trying to be helpful.

"Senior Luo."

Su Man spoke softly.

Basil turned to look at her, suppressing her inner irritation.

"Who are you?"

Shen Zhiyi and I are roommates.

Su Man responded calmly.

Upon hearing the name Shen Zhiyi, Basil's eyes lit up instantly.

"She's upstairs? Why isn't she coming down?"

Su Man gently shook her head, her words clear and distinct.

"She didn't go back to the dorm."

"After the class meeting, she and her boyfriend went for a stroll outside the school gate."

The moment those words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Basil, who had initially held onto a sliver of hope, completely shattered her composure.

Overjoyed, they set up a grand display and launched a pre-event announcement across the internet.

As it turned out, the other person didn't go back to the dormitory at all, was completely unaware of the situation, and didn't care at all.

Most importantly, I accompanied my boyfriend shopping to help him relax.

It was like publicly ignoring him, leaving him humiliated.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Su Man added a seemingly harmless but actually precise remark that was actually stirring up trouble.

"The two of them have a very good relationship."

The whole class saw it just now; they were inseparable the entire time.

After saying that, Su Man didn't linger and turned to leave.

Do not leave any evidence against yourself, and do not be a bad person.

But all the necessary messages and conflicts were conveyed effectively.

She doesn't need to resort to smear campaigns.

Simply stating the facts was enough to enrage Basil.

Watching Suman's departing figure, the last trace of composure on Basil's face vanished completely.

Instead, there was extreme gloom and annoyance.

The henchmen next to him didn't dare to speak either; everyone fell silent.

Anyone could see that Young Master Luo had completely broken down.

He originally intended to easily defeat a freshman girl.

Not only did they fail to win, but they were also ignored in public.

Ironically, she then turned around and went shopping happily with her boyfriend.

This slap in the face caught him completely off guard.

Basil gritted his teeth in a low voice.

"Boy friend?"

He casually mentioned it before, thinking it would be fun to steal someone's partner.

Now, he truly holds a grudge.

When has Luo Le ever suffered such injustice in this area of ​​Tsinghua University?

Why should a freshman with no background or qualifications be superior to him?

What gives you the right to ignore his pomp and circumvent his dignity?

Basil looked up at his follower, his tone icy.

"Go check!"

"Find out Shen Zhiyi's boyfriend, what his name is, and who he is."

The follower quickly responded.

"Yes, Young Master Luo, I'll arrange it right away!"

At this moment, Basil's mindset has completely reversed.

At first, he just thought Shen Zhiyi was pretty and fit his aesthetic.

I wanted to grab it casually as a novel pastime.

Now, it has turned into a real, targeted competition.

He must turn this situation around.

Otherwise, this social tragedy today will become a laughing stock on the entire campus.

On the other side, Su Man strolled leisurely back to her dormitory.

My inner thoughts underwent a complete transformation.

She just watched the whole thing up close.

Basil is rich, powerful, and has a voice on campus.

Even if one's appearance is unkempt and one's demeanor is ordinary.

He can still command a large following and have countless people fawn over him.

They can still casually create a spectacle that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

In contrast, consider Zhang Yifan.

Aside from being generous and having a low-key personality, he had no connections on campus.

They lacked qualifications, connections, and power on campus.

If it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, it's no match for basil.

Su Man became more and more certain.

Shen Zhiyi's composure was only temporary.

Wait until Basil takes serious action and uses resources to suppress it.

Zhang Yifan simply couldn't handle it.

In time, Shen Zhiyi's so-called aloofness and devotion will inevitably crumble on their own.

The more she thought about it, the clearer it became.

In university, gentleness and good character don't earn you a voice.

Money and connections are the real hard currency.

At this moment, Su Man completely turned to the dark side.

She no longer envied Shen Zhiyi's love.

She began to anticipate Shen Zhiyi's downfall.

The idea even began to vaguely take shape.

If I could get in touch with basil.

That would completely rewrite her college life.

Meanwhile, the campus forums exploded again.

Someone just took a picture of the empty flower field downstairs, with Basil standing alone awkwardly.

The new hot post quickly climbed to the top.

[Major social disaster! Young Master Luo's high-profile declaration of love ends in a complete flop!]

The post content is simple and straightforward.

The caption reads: "The show was all high-profile, but the female lead ended up shopping with her boyfriend and didn't even go back to her dorm."

In just a few minutes, the comments section completely reversed.

The previously overwhelmingly positive comments have disappeared.

Instead, there was widespread ridicule.

"Haha, the most awkward confession scene of the year."

"A classic example of a cup-pouring disaster."

"While other young couples are enjoying their sweet romance, Luo Shao is putting on a one-man show."

"I have to say, this junior is really sensible and doesn't fall for that at all."

"This is embarrassing. The whole internet was hyping it up, but now we've become a laughing stock."

It's obvious which way the wind is blowing.

Basil held his phone, looking at the sarcastic comments, his face turning ashen.

He nearly crushed the phone in his hand.

The henchman stood by, not daring to utter a sound.

Everyone knows that Young Master Luo is truly enraged this time.

After a long while, Basil took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

His tone was cold and his words were sharp.

"A freshman, right?"

I'd like to see how long you can protect Shen Zhiyi.

At Tsinghua University, I'm the one who calls the shots.

On the other side, along the tree-lined path on campus.

Zhang Yifan held Shen Zhiyi's hand and strolled slowly.

The two remained relaxed and comfortable throughout, completely unaffected by the commotion downstairs.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at the forum notification that popped up on her phone and gave it a cursory look.

He then casually turned it off without any reaction.

Seeing her movements, Zhang Yifan casually asked a question.

"I saw that basil again?"

Shen Zhiyi nodded gently.

"Just a clown, no need to pay him any attention."

Zhang Yifan smiled, his tone nonchalant.

"It's okay, let him do whatever he wants."

The more enthusiastically you try to make things happen, the more disastrous the crash will be in the end.

He didn't take this so-called campus prince seriously at all.

Relying on their parents' resources to act arrogantly and domineeringly on campus is nothing short of ignorant.

Let alone a single basil.

Even if his father, Rossi, stood in front of him, he wouldn't be worthy of his attention.

Shen Zhiyi looked up at Zhang Yifan, her eyes smiling.

"Then let's enjoy our shopping without being bothered by irrelevant people."

Zhang Yifan nodded and clenched his fist in her hand.

The two walked side by side, sunlight falling on them, a peaceful and tranquil time.

Completely unaware of the awkward one-man show unfolding downstairs.

This has already quietly brewed a storm targeting them within the school.
