Lin Xun's eyes were on the stage, but his mind was actually on the discussions behind him.

"But lately, the school beauty seems to be appearing in public less and less."

"Perhaps they're not interested in these trivial matters?"

"I'm sure the school beauty is in love!"

"Bah! You've ruined my Dao heart! You deserve to die!"

"How could my goddess possibly be in a relationship? Besides, who is good enough for the school beauty?"

"Isn't there some guy who's been getting pretty close to the school beauty lately?"

"Pshaw! He's just a suitor of the school beauty. If they get together, I'll commit seppuku on the spot!"

Lin Xun: ...

Su Qingshi: ...

Lin Xun leaned towards Su Qingshi and whispered, "Senior, why does no one believe you can date?"

Su Qingshi said calmly, "Because a suitor once confessed his love to me in public, and I rejected him because I didn't know how to be in a relationship."

"But now we're together."

Su Qingshi glanced at him: "I only submitted to your tyranny."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lin Xun nodded quickly; the proud senior was really cute.

Soon it was Jiang Yunxiao's turn to appear.

Her appearance was met with cheers from the audience.

Jiang Yunxiao wore a black evening gown. Her already tall figure, coupled with a pair of black high heels, made her look like a noble black swan. The black evening gown accentuated her milky skin, making her incredibly alluring under the lights. Her long, wavy hair was tied into a bun, and her small, exquisite face was stunning.

"Is that Senior Sister Jiang?" Lin Xun asked.

She, who is usually cheerful, is now like a completely different person.

Su Qingshi said calmly, "When she gets serious, she's not bad at all."

Just kidding, her best friend did her makeup, so she added her own style. Now, Jiang Yunxiao already has some of her charm.

Jiang Yunxiao's appearance alone was enough to overshadow all the previous contestants.

"What a beautiful girl! Who is she?"

"Brothers, I need all her information within five minutes."

"What was her name again when the host introduced her? I didn't hear it."

"Her name is Jiang Yunxiao, she's in Class 1 of her third year, and she's in the same class as the school beauty, and they're also best friends."

"So she's the school beauty's best friend! Oh my god, is she that pretty too?"

"Birds of a feather flock together! This girl is almost as pretty as the school beauty."

"If I can't win over the school beauty, I can always pursue her best friend, right?"

"What should I pay attention to when pursuing this kind of girl? Seeking advice online!"

"..."

The executives of those companies were also immediately impressed; Jiang Yunxiao's current demeanor matched a certain recruitment standard they had in mind.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Yunxiao, from..."

Jiang Yunxiao's speech was very logical, but it also had its flaws. After all, her script had been revised, and her own expression skills were not very professional. Therefore, when she introduced herself, she was somewhat worse than some of the more experienced contestants.

Of course, this is already very good.

Most people don't value her speech much; they only care about her looks.

Su Qingshi always managed to find fault with Jiang Yunxiao's speech, as if she were explaining it to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

However, the boys behind them also noticed the two of them. When they saw the girl standing on the evaluation stage with Jiang Yunxiao, their expressions immediately turned strange.

"Beautiful lady, you look very professional."

"Yeah, yeah, if you know so much, why don't you participate in the competition?"

Because the audience seats were somewhat dark, they were unable to recognize Su Qingshi, and she was wearing a mask, with only one eye showing.

Despite concealing her good looks, she still attracted the attention of several guys; she seems to be a really hot girl!

Su Qingshi did not answer their questions; her gaze remained fixed on the stage.

Lin Xun glanced at them but ignored them.

This made the person who had spoken a little embarrassed, muttering under their breath, "Who is this person? So rude."

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes: "Classmate, they don't need to answer you, do they?"

The boy looked at him with displeasure: "Who are you? I don't think I've been talking to you."

Lin Xun said calmly, "She's my girlfriend. How can you say she's rude?"

Just because you talk to a senior student, does that mean she's obligated to answer you?

"you……"

The boy looked rather unpleasant after being rebuked.

"Ignore it." Su Qingshi's cool voice rang out.

Lin Xun then restrained himself.

The boys exchanged glances, somewhat speechless.

Who knows? I tried to strike up a conversation, but got rejected.

Soon, Jiang Yunxiao finished his speech, and a round of applause rang out in the audience.

The speech on stage continued.

A figure dressed in a formal suit blended into the audience.

"Wow! You guys are here!"

Jiang Yunxiao casually sat down next to Su Qingshi, completely abandoning her dignified elegance on stage and reverting to her cheerful and lively self.

"It's alright," Su Qingshi said calmly.

"Really?" Jiang Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so nervous just now that I almost stammered."

"Senior Jiang, you did a great job just now!" Lin Xun exclaimed.

Jiang Yunxiao immediately said smugly, "Of course, this young lady is exceptionally talented. How could a mere speech be difficult for me?"

"First prize is out of the question, but third prize should be a sure thing, and there's a chance of getting second prize," Su Qingshi said calmly.

"Oh well, it doesn't matter how many I get. I'm just here to get some credits. As long as I get a third prize, I'll have completed all the credits. Woohoo! Time to have some fun!"

Jiang Yunxiao's big eyes sparkled with excitement.

"By the way, Shishi, how about we go to Xiaojin Lake tonight? I heard there's a new night market there?" Jiang Yunxiao licked her lips and said.

Su Qingshi was slightly taken aback. She had already been to the Xiaojinhu Night Market.

Lin Xun was in the same boat. He didn't know whether he should tell Senior Jiang or not, so he decided to leave it at that and not hurt her feelings.

“I’ll go when you get the second prize,” Su Qingshi replied.

It will be difficult for Jiang Yunxiao to win the second prize, but of course, it would be best if she did, and going to the night market again wouldn't hurt.

"Great! Don't worry! There won't be any problems!" Jiang Yunxiao said confidently.

"Um... are you Jiang Yunxiao?" A surprised voice came from behind.

Jiang Yunxiao looked up at the voice and saw a boy: "Yes, it's me. Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, the boy and his companions widened their eyes and their gazes fell on Su Qingshi's face.

Her face was covered by a mask, so her expression couldn't be seen, but her gaze was cold.

"Then...then you are...Su..."

The boy's voice was stammering.

“Her…” A sly glint flashed in Jiang Yunxiao’s eyes: “She’s my best friend, her name is Su Qingshi.”

"..."

The boys immediately looked like they'd seen a ghost.

Holy crap! The school beauty is right in front of them?!

Did they just say something that offended the other party?
