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

The commotion outside the girls' dormitory building subsided.

The crowd dispersed, and the staff gradually cleaned up the flowers scattered on the ground.

The grand and elaborate confession that had just taken place was quickly reduced to a mess.

Basil stood in the open space, his face frighteningly gloomy.

He exuded a sense of frustration and irritability from head to toe.

His henchmen didn't dare to breathe and stood obediently to the side.

No one dared to provoke him at this time.

A follower, holding a cell phone, quickly walked up to Basil.

"Young Master Luo, we've found out."

Shen Zhiyi's boyfriend is Zhang Yifan, a freshman in the School of Economics and Management this year.

Suppressing his anger, Basil pressed on in a cold voice.

"His family background and all his details have been thoroughly investigated."

The follower quickly responded, his tone resolute.

"His background is clean; he comes from an ordinary family and has no top-tier connections or financial background."

The only bright spot is that he's the top scorer in Shandong Province's college entrance examination; his academic performance is simply outstanding.

Upon hearing this, Basil's tense nerves instantly relaxed.

The last shred of apprehension in my heart vanished completely.

He would be more cautious if the other party was a peer with a similar family background and strong connections.

But an ordinary freshman with only outstanding grades wouldn't even catch his eye.

Originally, he was simply attracted to Shen Zhiyi's looks and temperament.

Driven by a playful attitude, I wanted to poach someone and find something new.

But after today's public death, everything has changed.

The whole school watched the drama unfold, and everyone on the forum made fun of him; he completely lost face.

All the embarrassment was blamed on Zhang Yifan.

A sinister glint flashed in Basil's eyes.

So what if you're a top scorer in the college entrance exam?

At Tsinghua University, grades are not a universal guarantee.

Connections, power, and resources are the true sources of influence.

As the president of the student union, he held the authority to coordinate and assist in the freshmen military training.

It's incredibly easy to manipulate a freshman with no connections.

Basil spoke in a cold voice, his tone full of pressure.

"Military training is about to start, right?"

The follower nodded in agreement.

"For Young Master Luo, training will officially begin the day after tomorrow, and the student council will provide full assistance in management."

Basil's lips curled into a cold smile.

"OK.

Since you're so capable, how dare you embarrass me?

"I'll spend these few days of military training with him and have some fun."

His followers immediately understood what he meant and began to cheer him on.

"Young Master Luo has a broad perspective; he doesn't stoop to the level of a freshman and just follows the rules."

"A freshman who has just enrolled in school doesn't know the rules and regulations, so he really needs to be taught and honed."

"During military training, discipline, rostering, and dormitory management are all decided by the student council, which uses regulations to maintain order."

A barrage of agreeing words completely ignited Basil's hostility.

He had already marked Zhang Yifan as a key target for rectification in his mind.

If he doesn't regain the face he lost today, he won't be able to command respect as the student council president in the future.

On the other side, in the girls' dormitory.

Su Man returned to her dormitory alone; the room was empty.

Instead of resting, she immediately opened the campus forum.

I quickly refreshed the page with my fingertips, watching the popularity of the trending posts continue to soar.

The comments section was filled with jokes about basil, sympathy for no one, and mockery of the show-off's disastrous attempt.

Everyone was treating this as just another fun activity on campus.

Only Su Man knew the whole story.

She took the initiative to step forward and deliver the crucial information to the furious and embarrassed Basil.

She told him personally that Shen Zhiyi had accompanied her boyfriend shopping the whole time and didn't care about this high-profile declaration of love at all.

It was her seemingly unintentional remark that completely ignited Luo Le's hostility towards Zhang Yifan.

She stood by the window, gazing at the empty space below, her mind churning with thoughts.

She knew that her words had put Zhang Yifan on the opposite side of Basil.

There's no going back now.

Since we've already offended them, we might as well go all the way and choose sides.

Basil's grudge against Zhang Yifan is an opportunity for her.

She doesn't need to deliberately flatter or fawn over anyone.

As long as he makes an appearance at the right time and offers a step forward.

That way you can easily take the fastest shortcut on campus, the Basil Trail.

Not long after, Xia Ran and Liu Fei pushed open the dormitory door and walked in together.

As soon as the two entered the door, they couldn't help but complain about the juicy gossip they had just heard.

"I'm dying of laughter, this young master Luo is definitely the ultimate social disaster of the year."

"We spent so much money on this grand affair, but the main character didn't appreciate it at all. It's so embarrassing."

"It's just a self-indulgent confession; the whole internet is watching his one-man show."

The two chattered away, treating the whole thing as a joke.

Su Man immediately concealed the scheming in her eyes and put on a calm, gossipy expression.

She chimed in with a couple of casual remarks.

"That's really outrageous, too self-centered."

She didn't reveal any selfish motives throughout, and no one noticed the undercurrents surging in her heart.

Her scheming and ambition were kept very well hidden.

Time slowly passes by on the tree-lined paths of the campus.

Zhang Yifan and Shen Zhiyi strolled around leisurely for a long time.

The two chatted casually along the way, the atmosphere relaxed, completely unaware that the situation among the three parties had quietly changed.

When they reached a secluded, deserted corner, the two stopped at the same time.

Under the shade of the trees ahead, a familiar figure stood.

It's Wang Wenting.

Shen Zhiyi frowned almost imperceptibly.

In her mind, Wang Wenting was still that highly competitive and rival-like person.

Yesterday, I lost my composure and ran away because of what happened between me and Zhang Yifan.

I'm stuck here again today.

Anyone looking at it would subconsciously assume that the other party is resentful and deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Shen Zhiyi subconsciously took half a step forward and gently stood in front of Zhang Yifan.

His eyes held a hint of helplessness and wariness.

She was prepared to speak up to defuse the confrontation and soothe the other party's emotions.

But the next second, Wang Wenting's reaction was completely unexpected.

She did not look at Shen Zhiyi.

His gaze went straight past Shen Zhiyi's shoulder.

It landed directly on Zhang Yifan.

There was no more competition, no more resentment, no more hostility.

Only a deep scrutiny and an unconcealable anxiety remained.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Shen Zhiyi became increasingly puzzled.

She couldn't understand at all what Wang Wenting was trying to do with her unusual behavior.

Only Zhang Yifan was overwhelmed with excitement at that moment, and he immediately understood.

Shen Zhiyi couldn't understand this unusual scene, but he knew it perfectly well.

Yesterday, Wang Wenting was so upset that she ignored him the whole time and only got angry with Shen Zhiyi.

Today, they skipped over the main character and stared intently at him.

This isn't about causing trouble for Shen Zhiyi at all.

This is clearly a deliberate attack on me!

Zhang Yifan mentally ranted and raved.

Good grief, does that mean my era of being completely invisible is over?

Before, Shen Zhiyi was the only person in his eyes, his heart, and his whole world.

Now that I've stolen someone else's six-year obsession, I've successfully unlocked the exclusive right to confront my rival, right?

He looked at Shen Zhiyi, who was instinctively protecting him, and quickly and gently raised his hand to pull her behind him.

joke.

In other situations, he can be indifferent and let things slide.

If he were to hide behind his girlfriend during a confrontation with his love rivals, that would be incredibly undignified.

Even if the other person is a girl, even if the other person is in a bad mood.

He has to take on this matchup.

Zhang Yifan straightened up and met Wang Wenting's anxious yet scrutinizing gaze with composure.

He muttered to himself.

Judging from their posture, they're not here to argue.

But they're definitely here to cause trouble.
