Xi Ran said awkwardly, "You can't solve this! Let's not talk about those disgusting things!"

Chu Jiang frowned. "How do you know I can't solve it if you don't tell me? I admit I'm not as good as you at studying! But when it comes to crooked and unorthodox methods, you're no match for me!"

Xi Ran tilted her head and scrutinized Chu Jiangyi with an expression that suggested she was looking at a bad kid. "Unorthodox methods?"

Chu Jiang also licked his dry lips, his Adam's apple bobbing, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he looked at Xi Ran with a nervous expression.

"Don't get me wrong! I'm a good person! My character is impeccable! A truly outstanding young man!"

Xi Ran smiled slightly, said "Oh," and then fell silent, much to Chu Jiang's anxiety!

"Oh, what do you mean? You're so economical with words! Use longer sentences so others can understand what you mean."

Xi Ran nodded, understanding. "I understand! I'll remember that next time!"

Chu Jiang also smiled wryly, "Do you usually speak so briefly, girl?"

"As long as you can clearly express your meaning, that's enough. Doesn't it get tiring to listen to a lot of nonsense?"

Chu Jiang also corrected, "How tired can you be? Don't be so brief when you talk to me in the future. My brain isn't as sharp as yours. You have to speak clearly."

Xi Ran said helplessly, "Okay!"

Chu Jiangyi smiled slightly and praised, "Good girl, I'm in a good mood today, let me treat you to dinner!"

Xi Ran shook her head frantically. Chu Jiangyi had already helped her so much! How could she possibly let him treat her to a meal?

She quickly waved her hand in refusal, "No, no, I already owe you enough, how can I let you treat me to a meal? I haven't even settled that meal I owe you yet."

"What's wrong with that? You girls just love to overthink things. It's perfectly normal for Sun Qing to eat whatever's offered to her... She doesn't refuse anything..."

Chu Jiang belatedly realized what he had said, quickly covered his mouth, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I didn't compare you to Sun Qing, don't misunderstand."

"It's alright. Your affair with Senior Sun Qing has caused quite a stir at school, so you probably know what happened!"

Chu Jiang's eyes widened in surprise. "The whole school knows! That's so bizarre!"

Xi Ran nodded honestly, "That's right! Love stories between the school beauty and the school hunk are nothing new at G University, but we in the law department don't think you two are a good match."

"Why?"

"Because you are not on the same path."

Chu Jiang smiled bitterly. It was a problem that even a freshman could understand, but he had stumbled time and time again because of Sun Qing, until he was battered and bruised.

Xi Ran noticed that Chu Jiangyi's expression was a little off, so she immediately comforted him, "Actually, all the girls in our law department are smitten with you and are ready to line up to pursue you."

Chu Jiang also thought there was something wrong with his ears, so he pointed to himself and asked again uncertainly.

"Chase me?"

"That's right. You and Senior Sun Qing are recognized as the school's most beautiful and handsome guy. Naturally, people assume you two are a couple. Every corner of the school bears the marks of your failed confession. So, people don't think much of you two as a couple."

"Furthermore, the school beauty often goes out to eat and date with Chen Yang from our law department. A few days ago, some gossipy girls even took photos of the two of them going to a jewelry store to buy bracelets and then forwarded them everywhere!"

"Chen Yang even thoughtfully put it on for her. Everyone guessed that the school beauty had accepted Chen Yang's pursuit as a rich second-generation, and they secretly assumed that they were a couple. You are the one who is still heartbroken."

"The girls all felt sorry for you. You pursued your goddess for three whole years and confessed to her no less than ten times. It's such a pity that you just gave her away like that."

Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow, never expecting that he would be so popular among the girls, far exceeding his expectations.

"What's there to regret? A rich second-generation heir and a beautiful woman are a perfect match."

Xi Ran disagreed, her eyebrows furrowing. "Chen Yang is notorious for being a womanizer. How could he stay for a girl? Sun Qing's choice of him is destined to be a tragedy."

"One is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit. Even if she is covered in scars in the future, it is her choice."

"Aren't you going to do anything about it? You've been pursuing her for three years."
