Seeing Li Weiwei's expression and the stunned faces of the other students, the freshmen who didn't know the story were all curiosity.
Just who on earth is this Ye Chen? He could actually leave a senior so shocked.
Every single student who tests into Peking University is proud and arrogant.
They all believe they're exceptional, so when they witnessed this scene many felt indignant.
Isn't the guy just a little better-looking?
But soon plenty of them learned Ye Chen's record.
They found out he was Jiang Province's Top Scorer in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination with an insane 149 points.
Most crucially, the girl who looked unnaturally gorgeous just now is his girlfriend.
Everyone was dumbstruck; for the boys who worshipped Xia Yingluo as a goddess, hearts shattered across the floor.
"I'm so pitiful—I fell in love and got dumped in the same second!"
"No way! Why did the cabbage get nabbed by a pig before University even starts?"
"This guy's outrageous—he could live off his face, yet his grades are stellar too. Does he want the rest of us to survive?"
…As the news that Ye Chen was Xia Yingluo's Boyfriend spread, droves of guys sank into gloom.
After all, they'd just met their goddess only to discover she was already taken.
And today was merely the first day of term—how were they supposed to enjoy campus life now?
To many boys the news felt like a bolt from the blue.
Li Weiwei likewise shot Ye Chen a speechless glance, then looked at Xia Yingluo not far away.
The two truly were a golden couple, perfectly matched.
Besides, how could Jiang Province produce such high-caliber candidates this year?
The guy was handsome, the girl gorgeous—and their scores were off the charts.
Ye Chen eyed the dazed Li Weiwei and said helplessly, "Senior, could you hand me the key now?"
Li Weiwei passed him the key, unable to resist asking, "Why does your Jiang Province churn out so many handsome guys and beauties?"
Ye Chen pondered. "Really? I don't think so. Still, I know I'm handsome, and my girlfriend is stunning."
Before leaving, Ye Chen even scattered a wave of public affection for the onlookers.
Li Weiwei waved him off in exasperation. "All right, get going. I don't want to see you again."
This guy Ye Chen was too Versailles for her liking.
At her disgusted expression Ye Chen felt wronged—he hadn't said anything incorrect.
Ye Chen led Xia Yingluo and Zhao Wenqiao toward the dormitory area.
Peking University's campus is enormous; every year freshmen get lost.
The trio had to ask several students before locating the Department of Economics and Management's women's dorm.
Along the way the two girls drew countless glances from the guys.
Many boys inwardly shouted: let go of those girls—let me carry the luggage for them!
Ye Chen escorted the two girls to the entrance of the department's dormitory.
He asked the dorm supervisor, "Auntie, may I help these two carry their luggage up and come right back down?"
Knowing it was move-in day for freshmen, the supervisor glanced at the girls' heavy cases and nodded him in.
Ye Chen hoisted the suitcases, feeling rather depressed.
Both girls' cases were ridiculously heavy, leaving him speechless.
What on earth did they pack inside?
At the room door Xia Yingluo knocked.
A slightly plump girl opened up.
Xia Yingluo and Zhao Wenqiao stepped inside.
Seeing the shy girl, Xia Yingluo smiled. "Hi, I'm Xia Yingluo."
"I'm Zhao Wenqiao," Zhao Wenqiao added with a grin.
Faced with two pretty girls, the chubby girl's cheeks flushed pink.
Extremely introverted, she smiled. "Come in, please."
Ye Chen carried the luggage in; a wave of cool air greeted him.
One had to admit: PKU's dormitories were seriously upscale.
Each unit came with desks, beds, a private bath, AC and a shower—everything.
The girl blushed even deeper upon seeing such a handsome guy.
Ye Chen grinned. "Hi, I'm Xia Yingluo's Boyfriend. I'm helping move the luggage; if it bothers you I'll head down right away."
Hearing him, the girl hurriedly waved. "It's fine, I don't mind at all."
The sight of the handsome boy made her even more flustered.
Watching Su Xiaomeng, all three found her adorable—she was simply too cute.
The plump girl introduced herself, cheeks rosy. "Hello, I'm Su Xiaomeng."
"Nice to meet you, Xiaomeng," Xia Yingluo replied politely with a smile.
Zhao Wenqiao, cooler by nature, merely nodded at Su Xiaomeng and said nothing.
While the three chatted, Ye Chen placed their luggage by each bed.
PKU dorms house four students in bunk-and-desk combos.
Beds above, study desks below.
Such amenities are top-tier among universities nationwide.
"Yingluo, Wenqiao, unpack first—I'll head to the guys' dorm."
After stowing the luggage he prepared to leave.
After all, lingering too long in a girls' dorm felt awkward.
Seeing him go, Xia Yingluo grew reluctant and blurted, "Wait—I want to see your dorm too."
Zhao Wenqiao didn't mind; they were a couple after all.
Su Xiaomeng, however, flushed faintly at the idea.
To Xia Yingluo's requests Ye Chen never said no.
Sure enough, the professor hadn't lied: the Mathematics and Economics departments were only a wall apart.
Ye Chen's room was 303; together they entered the math guys' dorm building.
Boys in the corridor froze the instant they spotted Xia Yingluo.
The whole dormitory exploded into commotion.
Word that a pretty girl had entered the math dorm spread instantly.
None of them had ever seen anyone as beautiful; they crowded their doorways, dumbfounded.
Ye Chen could only accept it—after all, his girlfriend was drop-dead gorgeous.
Besides, they were only looking; he couldn't say a thing.
Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo arrived at Room 303.
The door stood ajar; two roommates had already arrived.
Ye Chen walked in and greeted them.
"Hi everyone, I'm Ye Chen."
The two turned, simultaneously ignoring him to stare at Xia Yingluo.
Both were stunned by her beauty.
Could anyone be this gorgeous?
Their reaction didn't surprise Ye Chen—Xia Yingluo's looks warranted it.
A bespectacled boy hopped off the bed. "I'm Wu Xiaowei, from Shen City."
He stood about 1.7 m, the stereotypical tech guy.
"I'm Sun Yi, from Wu City."
The other was a chubby, sharp-eyed boy who looked shrewd.
Both studied Ye Chen curiously.
Who exactly was this guy?
How did he already have such a stunning girlfriend on day one?
