The Love Master

Are we walking too fast? Are those the students from Class 2 up ahead?

As they finally began to climb the mountain, Tang Keke noticed that the formation was quite messy. Perhaps due to the difference in students' physical stamina, the group had been scattered.

But as far as the academy was concerned, they only needed to ensure no one got lost. It didn't seem to matter who arrived a bit early or a bit late. However, the students who were just there to eat, drink, and have fun had a lot more on their minds.

Right at that moment, the people from Class 2 cast their gazes over. After all, Bai Yuyou was simply too eye-catching. Even when she was just quietly walking with a shovel in hand, she drew a massive amount of attention. The faint sunlight fell on her skin, making it seem as if her entire being was glowing.

Fweet~ Someone let out a whistle.

Over in the neighboring class, four or five boys had their eyes firmly locked onto Bai Yuyou and her group.

Brother Zheng, that's our academy's campus belle. She looks way better in person than in her photos, one of the boys said. Damn, how can someone be so beautiful?

I feel like she's much prettier than those model girlfriends Brother Zheng had before. I wonder if she has a boyfriend, another person chimed in.

She probably doesn't. I heard she's an iceberg goddess who has absolutely no interest in men.

As the group chattered all at once, the boy called Brother Zheng was also staring at Bai Yuyou, who was conversing with her companions.

She was indeed a very beautiful girl.

Zheng He admitted that the young girl not far away was certainly among the most beautiful he had ever seen, but to him, it was just alright.

I've seen plenty of pretty women; it doesn't make me feel much. Zheng He spread his hands and smiled nonchalantly.

That's true. Brother Zheng's family is so rich, he's never lacked beautiful girlfriends since he was young.

Hehehe, don't act like a bunch of losers who can't tear their eyes away when they see a pretty girl, Zheng He said smugly, though he couldn't help but steal another glance at Bai Yuyou.

He had to admit, she really was gorgeous.

Well, but just alright.

Saying that, he took another look.

Yeah, just alright.

One more look—

And then Zheng He couldn't look away.

Brother Zheng? Seeing Zheng He staring motionlessly at Bai Yuyou, a companion beside him spoke up.

Zheng He coughed. It's nothing. I just felt she looked a bit like someone I dated before.

Oh? His companion was curious. Was she that pretty too?

About the same. There was no way Zheng He would admit he had zoned out staring at Bai Yuyou, so he gave a perfunctory reply.

Scoring a girl like that is actually quite easy.

Soon, everyone arrived at the rest area. They were still a few kilometers away from their destination, but they needed an appropriate break.

I'm exhausted, so exhausted. Yuyou, let's go buy something to drink, shall we? Tang Keke was panting heavily. Her stamina was poor to begin with, and she had already whined about needing a break several times along the way.

Okay, Bai Yuyou nodded gently.

However, Taozi wanted to go to the restroom at this moment. After all, there was only one restroom here, and with so many students, just waiting in line would take a long time.

Oh, right. Let's line up for the restroom first. What about you, Yuyou?

I'm fine. Bai Yuyou shook her head.

Then help me buy a bottle of happy water. With that, Tang Keke and Taozi headed to the restroom first. Bai Yuyou watched the retreating backs of the two girls, then turned and walked toward the convenience store.

Beep, welcome.

Bai Yuyou walked into the convenience store. There were already quite a few students inside, and her appearance naturally made her the center of attention.

But Bai Yuyou was already used to this, and she didn't care about these random stares.

Happy water...

Bai Yuyou stood in front of a row of sodas. However, Keke hadn't specified what flavor she wanted. She couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, freezing in place like a statue.

Finally, the young girl chose to pick up her phone and text Keke.

Bai Yuyou: Keke, there are many flavors, which one?

A few seconds later, Keke replied: The best tasting one!

Seeing the message Keke sent, Bai Yuyou reached out and picked up a bottle of cherry-flavored cola. Although she didn't know how it tasted, she thought cherries were quite delicious.

Then, Bai Yuyou looked around and eventually started picking up snacks one after another.

Before long, her arms were full of snacks.

... At this moment, the girl's footsteps paused as she noticed the pickled cabbage instant noodles on the shelf.

For some reason, Bai Yuyou kind of wanted to eat that.

But Bai Yuyou had no hands left to hold it; her arms were completely full of snacks.

Let me help you get it, a voice came from the side.

Bai Yuyou glanced over and saw a boy of a similar age. He reached out, handed the instant noodles to her, and smiled, Did you want this?

Yes, thank you, Bai Yuyou thanked him softly.

Zheng He merely said, No problem, it's nothing.

Then Zheng He turned and left, acting as if he didn't care about Bai Yuyou at all, as though he had just done a passing favor.

Bai Yuyou glanced at his retreating back and also turned to go pay the bill.

Meanwhile, the boy walked out of the convenience store and tossed the few bottles of drinks in his hand to his companions. Here.

Brother Zheng, didn't you strike up a conversation? Why not chat a bit more? a companion asked in confusion. Wasn't that the perfect opportunity to talk?

Pfft. Zheng He gave a faint smile and cracked open a can with his finger.

This is something you guys don't understand. With a beautiful girl like her, the more you pretend not to care about her looks, the more likely you are to develop things further. Right now, all I need is a good first impression. Just watch and learn how this Casanova operates.

Oh, oh, it's all about the strategy.

Study hard.

...

At this time, Bai Yuyou was also waiting outside the convenience store carrying a bag. A little while later, Tang Keke and Taozi returned.

Yuyou, Yuyou, quick, give me the life-saving water, Tang Keke said as soon as she returned. You have no idea, it was so stuffy in the restroom!

Here. Bai Yuyou dug into the bag.

Glug, glug, glug... Pfft! Tang Keke twisted off the cap and had barely taken two gulps when her eyes widened and she spat it out. What is this?! Is it expired?!

Keke took a serious look at the label on it and found it said cherry flavor.

Is it good? Bai Yuyou asked from the side. It's cherry.

Look at my reaction just now, does it look like it tastes good? Tang Keke looked as if she was about to gag. Why does this thing taste like a ballpoint pen? Is it a knockoff?

Keke, have you drunk from a ballpoint pen before?

Well, no... Just because I describe this thing as tasting like crap doesn't mean I've actually eaten crap. Tang Keke threw it straight away.
