"Who...could it be?"

The vice principal looked worried and pondered deeply.

...

Time flies.

Especially happy times, they pass by very quickly.

While most students find school hours incredibly difficult to endure, the mornings seem to fly by during large-scale events like the university league, which feel like a leisurely outing.

The game wasn't even over yet, and it's already lunchtime...

On their way to the cafeteria, the students walked in twos and threes, discussing the morning's competition, their faces still showing signs of enjoyment.

Everyone has their own favorite player, and if their favorite player wins, they will definitely be beaming with joy.

Meanwhile, the students who supported the players who lost the competition, and whose competition format was special and therefore did not have a double-elimination system, looked worried and sighed with every step they took.

But there's nothing we can do; a loss is a loss. We can only wait for the next college league and try to win it back.

"Hmm...so many people."

A beautiful figure stood in the center of the crowd, instantly attracting the attention of passing students.

This girl is exceptionally beautiful. She is undoubtedly the focus of attention on campus. Every time she appears, she seems to radiate light, easily attracting everyone's attention.

Her long, silky hair, like black silk, cascaded naturally down to her slender waist, swaying gently with her steps like a flowing stream in the dark night. Her exquisite face was like a meticulously sculpted work of art; her fair skin was so delicate it seemed to break at a touch, with a faint blush, like peach blossoms just beginning to bloom in spring. Her eyes were especially captivating, like two clear springs, their lively light twinkling like stars. When she smiled, they curved into two crescent moons, capable of dispelling all the gloom in the world. Beneath her high, delicate nose were naturally rosy lips, the slight upturn of which radiated a charming and approachable aura.

It is none other than the icy goddess who captivates the hearts of countless students at Weiyang High School—Shen Yanxin.

Even after changing out of her competition uniform, Shen Yanxin's charm remained undiminished. She pushed Jiang Yu, peeking out from the crowd.

"I should have listened to Xia Che. If we had gone to eat earlier, we wouldn't have had to wait in line."

Jiang Yu stuck out her tongue.

They currently live at Lishi Quyuan, but considering they have a match in the afternoon, they did not choose to go home and plan to eat at the school instead.

Xia Che was already hungry. At first, he wanted to take the two girls out to eat, but they felt that there was still a competition to play and it wouldn't be good to leave halfway through. Xia Che couldn't persuade them, so he went to eat by himself.

Only now is it becoming clear how farsighted Xia Che was...

"Good heavens, this isn't a meal, it's clearly Train to Busan..."

Looking at the densely packed backs of heads in front of her, even though Jiang Yu didn't have to walk herself and was being pushed by Shen Yanxin, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

As another female lead, Jiang Yu's looks are naturally no less than Shen Yanxin's. However, Jiang Yu's situation is a bit special. If she uses a wheelchair, she is easily overlooked. Therefore, although she also gets a lot of attention, she doesn't get as much as Shen Yanxin.

"Yes..."

Shen Yanxin clicked her tongue inwardly. Now, where they wanted to go was no longer up to them; it depended on whether the crowd in front of them would cooperate.

If the place you want to go is the same as the crowd, then it's fine; just go with the flow.

But if the opposite is true...

That would be a real ordeal.

Even if you try for a long time, you won't be able to move an inch.

"It's all Xia Che's fault!"

Jiang Yu said indignantly, "If he had said earlier that this would happen, we would have gone to eat with him. Now we're starving, and it's all his fault."

With the surrounding universities and the students of Weiyang itself, the sheer volume of people is terrifying.

Even if you find a place to eat, you'll probably have to wait in line for half an hour.

Will I still be able to make it to the afternoon's match?

"That's right, that's right."

Shen Yanxin nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. It was all Xia Che's fault for not speaking clearly. Now, no one could eat.

"Hey? Look at that restaurant, there's an empty seat! And there's only one girl there, so it's no problem for the three of us to sit down."

Jiang Yu, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted a noodle shop next door, where a girl was sitting alone, taking up the entire table by herself.

"Walk!"

Although Shen Yanxin didn't understand why she would encounter someone eating alone at this time of day, it was clearly not the time for them to think about that.

The most important thing is to eat quickly.

"Hello, may I sit here? Is this seat taken?"

Shen Yanxin acted swiftly, pushing Jiang Yu over. Seeing that no one was faster than her, she was secretly delighted.

"Is there anyone who can't see for themselves? Or is it that you can see things that normal people can't?"

Unexpectedly, the girl gave him a cold look and spoke very rudely.

Upon hearing this, the two women were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Yanxin was inexplicably rebuked and was a little angry, but when she thought about Jiang Yu still being there, and how it would be difficult for Jiang Yu if they started arguing, and how the two women hadn't eaten yet and were already hungry, she decided to hold back.

"Sorry, since no one's here, can we share a table?"

Shen Yanxin let out a long sigh, forcibly suppressing his displeasure, and asked with a smile.

"casual."

The girl continued eating her noodles with her head down, not moving her seat for the two girls. However, there was still an empty seat on the right side of the table, so after receiving permission, Shen Yanxin pushed Jiang Yu to sit down. She then secretly rolled her eyes and made a face at Jiang Yu, making her chuckle.

The girl didn't notice their little interaction and kept eating her noodles in silence.

Perhaps because business was good, even the restaurant was speeding up the food preparation. Shen Yanxin and Jiang Yu had only been chatting for a short while when they saw the waiter carrying their food and placing it on the table in front of them.

Do you think Xia Che might eat better than us?

Jiang Yu broke apart the disposable chopsticks and stirred the noodles in front of her. Her little face was puffed up, clearly still upset that Xia Che had gone to eat before them.

"Of course, Xia Che never goes hungry, he definitely eats better than us."

Shen Yanxin shook her head, equally indignant about the situation.

That despicable guy.

Since we know there will be so many people at noon, let's tell them!

He was secretive and didn't give any reason, just left them to eat. What a scoundrel.

"You... also know Senior Xia Che?"

Just as the two girls started eating, the girl who had initially confronted Shen Yanxin had somehow moved closer, blinked her big eyes, pursed her lips, and a hint of nervousness appeared on her pretty face.

"Who are you?"

The two women exchanged a glance, and Jiang Yu asked first.

"My name is Xie Linlin, and I am Xia Che's junior."

The girl answered.
