A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the cafeteria.
As Xiao Xiao stepped inside, she immediately felt the refreshing coolness of the air—there was air conditioning in the cafeteria. Truly, a cafeteria in an elite school lived up to its reputation.
"Where shall we sit?" she asked.
"The luxurious area is over there," Yu Zhe gestured, "and this side is the regular section. If you'd prefer, we could go upstairs to the second floor, where there’s a restaurant offering a variety of dishes."
"No need to go upstairs," Xiao Xiao replied, "Let’s just try the food downstairs. It smells quite appetizing."
Just as they were about to find a seat, they ran into some classmates who waved them over. They made their way toward the group.
Xiao Xiao wasn’t very good at recognizing people and certainly didn’t have the capacity to memorize all the names of her classmates in one morning. She simply smiled at them.
One of the boys teased, "Xiao Xiao, Yu Zhe, how did you two end up together? You’ve only known each other for a morning, did you already hit it off?"
The other classmates laughed ambiguously, chanting, "Together! Together!"
Their voices rang out across the cafeteria, drawing the attention of others.
When Yin Shaojie entered, he too heard the commotion. Casually glancing over, he was taken aback to see Xiao Xiao among the group.
And, of course, there was Yu Zhe beside her.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. This was the "handsome guy" she had mentioned? Hmph, and she calls him handsome?
He inwardly scorned Xiao Xiao’s judgment.
He had initially been somewhat concerned by her words, but after seeing the boy’s appearance, all his doubts evaporated. How could someone like that compare to him?
With a dismissive look, he wrapped an arm around the girl beside him and headed upstairs.
As always, Yin Shaojie was the center of attention. His arrival caught the eyes of Xiao Xiao’s classmates, who, utterly captivated, gushed, "It’s Shao Jie! He’s going upstairs, should we go to the second floor too?"
"Shao Jie is so handsome! Every movement exudes the aura of a noble, no wonder he’s the school heartthrob."
Xiao Xiao heard their words and raised an eyebrow. She couldn’t bear to watch them fawn over him.
"He’s the school heartthrob?" she scoffed. "Isn’t there anyone else who’s more handsome than him? I think Lu Yichen from the senior year is much better looking!"
Her remark drew a few sharp glares from the girls. Yu Zhe quickly tugged at her sleeve, whispering in her ear, "Be careful what you say. They’re all crazy fans of Shao Jie. If you say anything bad about him, they’ll make life difficult for you!"
Xiao Xiao’s expression twisted, as if she had swallowed a fly. "Crazy fans? That guy has crazy fans?"
She wanted to say, were these girls blind? If anyone should be admired, it should be someone like Lu Yichen—handsome, a top student, and all-around impressive!
Yu Zhe looked at her incredulously, finding it even more bizarre that she would dismiss Yin Shaojie with such disdain.
"Xiao Xiao, don’t you think Yin Shaojie is handsome? Don’t you like guys like him?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Xiao Xiao shrugged. "Is he really that handsome? I don’t think so."
In truth, as she said this, she couldn’t help but stick out her tongue in secret, feeling somewhat contradictory.
Though she didn’t want to admit it, Yin Shaojie did indeed have a striking face. Finding someone more handsome than him would certainly be a difficult task.
