The cafeteria.
Silence reigned.
Countless boys' hearts were shattered.
Min Sishi... the undisputed goddess of Hucheng Conservatory of Music.
In her three years of university, she had never had a boyfriend and never gave men the time of day.
Now... she stood before the freshman Zhou Xing, her smile as bright as a flower.
Furthermore, she had taken the initiative to introduce herself and make friends.
Their worldviews suffered a massive shock; was this still the Min Sishi they knew?
Zhou Xing watched as Min Sishi extended her small, fair, and tender hand, yet he made no move. With a calm expression, he said, "Sorry, Senior, I'm not really fond of making friends."
He admitted it.
Min Sishi was indeed very good-looking.
Even among the girls he knew, her appearance was among the best.
Compared to An Ya, Xiao Lanlan, and Luo Qianqian... who were in their prime and overflowing with feminine charm...
Min Sishi possessed a youthful exuberance that they lacked.
She was in the flower of her youth.
But that didn't mean Zhou Xing had to have any relationship with her.
There were so many girls in the world.
No matter how much money Zhou Xing had, it was impossible to catch them all in one net.
Nor did he have that much energy.
Facing this Min Sishi who had suddenly appeared, Zhou Xing didn't know what her angle was, so he chose not to give her any face.
Upon hearing this, Min Sishi's smile stiffened slightly.
She hadn't expected... that facing her active invitation, Zhou Xing would actually refuse so decisively.
Without a hint of hesitation.
Gazing at the boy before her for a moment, her smile remained unchanged, and her hand stayed raised in mid-air: "Junior, being too much of a loner isn't good."
"You still need to interact with others more. Everyone has their own personality. Maybe you didn't like the people you met before, but how can that represent people now being the same as them?"
Min Sishi gestured with her hand: "Maybe I can become that most special friend of yours and completely change your mind."
"Besides... getting to know each other doesn't necessarily mean we have to become friends. What's the harm in trying?"
Min Sishi still wore that beaming smile: "How about it, want to give it a try?"
"No."
Zhou Xing said expressionlessly: "I don't have that much time or effort to spare, so... sorry, Senior."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Zhou Xing turned around, preparing to leave.
But Min Sishi blocked his path, looking puzzled: "Why?"
"Why what?"
Min Sishi pointed at herself: "Am I not pretty enough?"
"You are very pretty."
Zhou Xing spoke truthfully.
"Then why are you rejecting me?"
Min Sishi looked at Zhou Xing and asked, "Is it because I made you uncomfortable somewhere, or do you not like girls?"
"My rejecting you has nothing to do with whether I like girls or not."
Zhou Xing said indifferently, "At the same time, your being pretty is your business and has nothing to do with me. It doesn't mean that just because you look good, something must happen between us."
"Although I also like pretty girls, I'm not that bored, and I don't just think with my lower body."
He wasn't the type of person who couldn't walk when he saw a pretty girl.
No matter how good-looking she was.
That had nothing to do with him.
If he liked someone... he would naturally take the initiative to pursue them.
But it was impossible for him to put himself in a lowly position, delusional about relying on 'caring' to move a girl's heart.
Relationships between men and women...
Are nothing more than seeing who holds the upper hand. Whoever has the advantage can gain the initiative.
While girls certainly hold the initiative over boys in most romances, this did not include Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing had that kind of confidence and qualification.
Outstandingly beautiful girls were a scarce resource in society.
But someone like him... was a rarity among rarities.
Zhou Xing looked down at Min Sishi, his expression without a ripple: "So... Senior, besides this matter, do you have anything else? If not, please step aside. I have things to do and must leave now."
Min Sishi stood in place, silent for a moment.
Then she looked up and asked, "Is it not even okay just to get to know each other?"
"I've already made myself very clear."
Zhou Xing's brow furrowed slightly.
Min Sishi didn't speak; she silently stepped aside.
Zhou Xing glanced at her and immediately left under everyone's gaze, without a single hint of lingering attachment.
Until his back disappeared through the cafeteria entrance.
The roar of an engine sounded.
Zhou Xing drove off in his mclaren p1, leaving a trail of dust.
Min Sishi stood there, looking at the empty doorway with a thoughtful expression.
Recalling the interaction with Zhou Xing just now...
In her eyes, there wasn't a hint of discouragement; instead, her smile grew even more radiant.
Zhou Xing was completely different from what she had imagined.
More interesting, and harder to approach.
This made her even more curious about Zhou Xing... and further solidified her intention to get to know him.
With a smile still hanging on her face, showing no embarrassment at being rejected, she walked up to her three Roommates as if nothing had happened: "Let's go and see what there is to eat."
The three Roommates also felt quite surprised by Min Sishi's behavior.
This was completely different from the Min Sishi they knew.
They even felt she was a bit like a stranger.
They had lived with Min Sishi in the dorm for three years. In those three years, countless boys had pursued her, but all were rejected.
They had never seen her heart flutter for a boy.
Today, she had only suggested coming out for a walk and grabbing something to eat at the cafeteria.
But they hadn't expected her target to actually be Zhou Xing.
And to be so bold... after being rejected, she was still perfectly calm, acting as if nothing had happened.
The three Roommates found it hard to accept for a moment, but they still subconsciously nodded and followed Min Sishi to the service window.
Watching the backs of the four as they ordered food...
The crowd in the cafeteria finally snapped out of it, as if waking from a dream.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
What did they just see!
The school goddess Min Sishi had taken the initiative to find Zhou Xing, and she was actually heartlessly rejected.
Just what was this Zhou Xing's background?
To be able to make Min Sishi lower her status like this, and yet remain completely unmoved by such an initiative.
If it were them... even if Min Sishi just gave them a smile, it would be enough to keep them excited for a long time.
Yet Zhou Xing had the heart to refuse.
The cafeteria was full of people and prying eyes.
With such an event occurring, and both involved being prominent figures in the school...
One was the campus goddess.
The other was the School Hunk Zhou Xing, who had just reported today, stolen all the limelight, and was known as the number one of the New Students.
Without a doubt.
This news hit the School Forum at extreme speed.
And it quickly became a hot topic of discussion for them.
