9: G University’s Campus Belle, Lin Jiage

G University’s Campus Belle, Lin Jiage

The next day was Valentine's Day.0

To couples, this was an extremely important day. However, to the engaged Shi Yao, it was no different from an ordinary Sunday—the day to return to her school dormitory.

By the time Shi Yao woke up, it was already noon.

After brushing her teeth and eating breakfast, she took a look at her phone messages.

Lin Jiage still hadn't replied to her.

Shi Yao's family lived in the suburbs of Beijing, so by the time her bus arrived at G University, it was already four o'clock.

Shi Yao's three dormitory mates were from other provinces and were all single as well, so on this dog-tormenting day, they tacitly chose to camp in their dormitory room.

When Shi Yao arrived at their room, Leng Nuan was washing her clothes while Jiang Yue and He Tiantian were lying on Leng Nuan's bed, exploring the school forum with the iPad in their hands.

Jiang Yue: "In the Campus Belle Selection, the one with the most votes is still that third-year student, Qin Yiran."

He Tiantian: "Actually, Leng Nuan also got quite a lot of votes. Considering that we're first-year students who just enrolled half a year ago, the fact that Leng Nuan managed to get so much attention only proves that her looks are exceptional."

With her hands dripping wet, Leng Nuan popped her head out from the corner of the bathroom door and said, "If only Yaoyao had let us use her photo in the selection, her votes would definitely overtake mine."

"Even without participating in the selection, Yaoyao already has plenty of suitors in our faculty. If she joined the selection, just think of how packed the dorm lobby would be every day…" Jiang Yue remarked as she continued flipping through the forum with He Tiantian.

However, before Jiang Yue could finish her words, He Tiantian suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Who in the world is this? Someone actually has more votes than Qin Yiran…"

Ever since entering G University, Qin Yiran had dominated the position of campus belle for three years straight. Yet, someone had managed to top her?

Interested, Shi Yao walked over to Jiang Yue and He Tiantian's side with a newly-opened pack of chips in her arms.

He Tiantian tapped into the forum thread, and there, Shi Yao saw the following words, <em

[My vote for the most beautiful campus belle of G University goes to a third-year student in the Math Faculty, Lin Jiage.]</em

<em

Lin Jiage</em

... Shi Yao, who was munching on her chips, suddenly froze.

Posted with the thread was a picture of Lin Jiage.

The young man in the photo was dressed in a white T-shirt, standing elegantly in front of the G University's library.

The photo seemed to have been snapped in secret, and Lin Jiage didn't look to be in a good mood.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, and his furrowed brows hinted at his impatience.

Nevertheless, amidst the brilliant rays of the afternoon sun, he still looked particularly radiant.

"AHHHHHH! It's my Adonis!"

As He Tiantian screamed in excitement, Jiang Yue continued scrolling down the thread to read the interesting replies below.

<em

[Lin Jiage participating in the Campus Belle Selection? OP</anno

, aren't you in the wrong scene?]</em

<em

[Who says that the campus belle has to be a female? Nothing wrong with OP's thread at all—G University's Campus Belle Lin Jiage!]</em

<em

[66666</anno

. OP, I'll give you a hundred points for that! You have my deepest respect!]</em

<em

[But honestly speaking, as beautiful as Belle Qin is, she does pale in comparison to our Adonis Lin…]</em

After reading several messages, Jiang Yue suddenly came to a halt.

As if she'd encountered something terrifying, she stared at the iPad with widened eyes for a long while before stuttering, "Q-Qin Yiran and L-Lin Jiage... have gotten together…"

OP refers to original poster, meaning the one who started the thread.666666 is slang in Chinese which has the meaning of showing one's admiration towards another. An equivalent in slang in English would be 'respect' or 'well-played'</annotations
