The sight caused all the students on the bus to erupt once more!
Just who exactly was this Zhang Chen?!
Even the students who knew Zhang Chen felt their minds reeling.
The Zhang Chen they knew before was unremarkable, with consistently average academic performance.
Then, during the mock exam, he suddenly became brilliant. However, when his aptitude scores and the joint entrance examination scores were combined, his total was only within the top one hundred in the city.
Among all students admitted to key universities, while he was impressive, he wasn't *that* impressive.
Yet, the teacher from the joint admissions office of key universities was willing to make an exception for Zhang Chen, allowing him to bring a pet onto the bus! This was blatant double standards!
Now, the top-ranked genius and campus belle, Zhao Xiyue, was personally coming to pick up Zhang Chen for school?!
Was this madness?!
Those who had previously called Zhang Chen Zhao Xiyue's lapdog were instantly proven wrong!
"No, thank you, I'll just take the bus!"
Just as everyone looked on with envy, Zhang Chen made a choice that stunned everyone.
"What the hell, is this kid crazy? He actually refused the goddess's invitation?!"
"Damn it, it's an illusion, this must be an illusion!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
What was happening before their eyes completely shattered everyone's understanding of the world.
"My dad chartered a private jet for me, and I was all alone on the way, it was so boring."
"If you accompany me, there'll be someone to talk to and pass the time!"
"And... I really like kittens too!"
As Zhao Xiyue spoke, she gently stroked Mo Ran's chin with her slender fingers.
The latter comfortably raised its head and meowed.
"However, I'm not very good at conversation, so it might be a bit dull!"
Zhang Chen stated truthfully.
These words nearly drove the onlookers crazy!
Even a truly stoic person wouldn't be this indifferent!
Let alone an invitation from a goddess like Zhao Xiyue, even if an ordinary-looking girl invited him repeatedly, any man would have accepted.
"It's okay, come on!"
Zhao Xiyue smiled enchantingly and then opened the car door.
Only then did Zhang Chen get in.
Afterward, Zhao Xiyue gently smoothed her short skirt and also got in.
"Black stockings... super short skirt... I wish I could get in too!"
The people on the bus were so envious their mouths were watering.
In this situation, no matter how you looked at it, Zhao Xiyue was clearly infatuated with Zhang Chen!
The young lady was actually inviting Zhang Chen to travel with her multiple times?!
This was like something out of science fiction!
The white stretched limousine started and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Inside the car, Zhao Xiyue held Mo Ran on her lap, her black stockings showing, and gently stroked the cat.
"Why me?"
Zhang Chen suddenly asked.
"My dad insisted I travel by private jet. Honestly, I wanted to take the bus too, I didn't want to be so special..."
Zhao Xiyue said slowly, her long eyelashes lowered.
"You're first in the joint entrance exam, plus first in aptitude, first overall, and the top scholar of the entire province."
"Coupled with your prominent family background and good looks, you deserve special treatment!"
Zhang Chen spoke the truth.
"But being this special all the time makes me very lonely. No one is willing to be friends with me!"
"They think that by being my friend, they become my foil. I'm always the most radiant one, and they lose their sense of presence when they're around me."
"As for the boys, they're all too intimidated to approach me. I suppose no boy wants to be friends with a girl who is stronger than him, right?"
Zhao Xiyue said mournfully, her tone laced with a hint of sadness.
"So you're looking for me?"
Zhang Chen seemed to understand Zhao Xiyue's thoughts.
Because only she knew that his strength was far superior to hers.
It was precisely because of this that she felt he wouldn't reject her and wouldn't feel pressured being with him.
"Yes, besides that reason, it's also because you are very strong!"
"I want to learn from you and become as strong as you!"
Zhao Xiyue said with a serious expression.
"Although to outsiders, my aptitude is excellent, within my family, I am just ordinary!"
"My elder brother, Zhao Longchuan, was the top scholar of the three-province joint entrance exam. My father is a God of War, and my grandfather is a War God who protects the nation. Generations of my ancestors were meritorious officials."
"My aptitude is nothing compared to them."
Hearing Zhao Xiyue's words, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for her.
He had only managed to get into a key university, and his family was celebrating as if it were Chinese New Year.
Yet, Zhao Xiyue, who had also gotten into university, and as the top scholar at that, was merely an ordinary existence in her family.
Her family even thought she was not as good as her brother...
This was indeed disheartening.
