Chapter 82: A side portrait stuns the whole Forum; Miss Qiao Also needs military training
Chapter 82
Qiao Ying set her status to "Do Not Disturb" and exited the group chat page.
She saw several friend requests.
They were from the boys in the class group earlier, addressing her as "goddess" and wanting to add her as a friend, of course, before they found out she weighed "150 jin" (around 165 pounds).
In addition to these, there was also a friend request from Principal Zhang.
There was also an unexpected one, with a message attached: [Sis, it's Lingling].
Qiao Ying only accepted Principal Zhang's request.
Principal Zhang asked if she had arrived at the school and invited her to have dinner at his place in the evening. He wanted to introduce her to two friends.
Qiao Ying declined, saying she would eat after the military training.
As it was getting dark,
Li Shiyin returned with two roommates in tow.
Seeing Qiao Ying lying on the bed asleep, she immediately ordered the two roommates to tidy up the bed and kicked the trash can, making a loud noise.
"I see you don't want the other hand either."
Qiao Ying's voice, filled with a chill, floated lightly.
The dormitory instantly fell silent. The three of them looked over and saw Qiao Ying still lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face calm.
Li Shiyin gritted her teeth and stared angrily at Qiao Ying on the bed, while the two roommates looked at Li Shiyin, not daring to move.
Finally, Li Shiyin snorted, turned and left the dormitory, deliberately making a "clanging" sound as she stepped on her high heels.
She came from a wealthy family, but she could only show off in the dormitory. In the face of absolute power, the school bully Huo Chengdong, and the campus beauty Su, she was nothing.
There were plenty of wealthy and influential students in the school.
Moreover, this Qiao Ying seemed to be the one personally brought in by the principal.
Li Shiyin wanted to cause trouble for Qiao Ying, but she still had some concerns.
Qiao Ying wasn't hungry, and it wasn't until dinner time had passed that she leisurely strolled out of the dormitory building and found the nearest restaurant.
There were only a few students eating at this restaurant.
Qiao Ying randomly ordered a bowl of noodles and found a seat by the window, playing with her phone while waiting.
"Look, oh my god, this beauty is out of this world."
"Is she also a freshman? Could she be from the Computer Science Department?"
"Since she's eating here, she probably is. I don't know which class she's in, I wish she were in our class."
"Should we go and ask? Maybe add her on WeChat while we're at it?"
"Forget it, she's too beautiful, I'm too timid."
Another table also noticed Qiao Ying by the window.
"This damn, she's so good-looking, that Toffee Little Fruit in the group is nothing compared to her."
"Could she be Su Campus Beauty? I heard Su Campus Beauty is this beautiful and comes from a wealthy and influential family. With this temperament, she must be her, right? And she actually came to eat at our school's restaurant."
"I've seen pictures of Su Campus Beauty, it's not her, and Qiao Ying is even more beautiful than her."
"Looks like the title of Campus Beauty is going to change this year."
"Is it too much to take a sneaky photo?"
The food was brought over, and Qiao Ying suddenly remembered that she forgot to bring the drink.
Well, she would have a few sips when she returned to the dormitory.
Back in the dormitory, Qiao Lingling's mood couldn't calm down for a long time. Every time she thought of Qiao Ying's beautiful face, she became insanely jealous. How unbearable Qiao Ying used to be in her eyes, and now how jealous Qiao Ying made her.
And Qiao Ying never responded to the friend request she sent.
After finally adjusting her mindset somewhat, Qiao Lingling's three roommates suddenly exclaimed while holding their phones, "Oh my goodness, this girl is so good-looking!"
"It seems she's a new student in the Computer Science department. That profile, I'm in love."
"I dream of having that fair and flawless complexion. I'd be so happy if I were her roommate."
Qiao Lingling was intrigued by their conversation and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Somebody secretly took a picture of an incredibly attractive girl and posted it on the forum. Apparently, she's from the Computer Science department. Go take a look, she's really stunning." One of her roommates said excitedly, then continued scrolling through the screen.
Qiao Lingling couldn't help but picture Qiao Ying's face in her mind.
She immediately picked up her phone and accessed the forum.
The first post she opened was indeed about it.
Sure enough, the girl sitting by the window, playing with her phone and waiting quietly for her meal, was her drastically transformed sister, Qiao Ying!
"Wow, she's unbelievably beautiful. She must be from the Performing Arts or Broadcasting department, right? It's unlikely for someone so pretty to be in IT."
"We Computer Science students have endured silently for years, always overshadowed by other departments. Cuihua is always the campus beauty. Who would have thought we'd have our day of glory? Awesome!"
"Which restaurant is it? Share the location quickly, I'll go grab a meal there! *burp~*"
"It's not that surprising. Maybe we don't feel it since we sleep together every day."
"You upstairs, go die somewhere."
"I thought Su Campus Beauty was the ceiling, but this girl is the real bombshell! I'm willing to be a junior and stick up for her. Senior, you have a soft spot for her. Let's post together."
"You upstairs, you dare to say that? Aren't you afraid Su Campus Beauty will invite you to the Su family?"
"Does anyone know this girl? Come out and introduce her to everyone. Where is morality? Where is etiquette? Where is her WeChat?"
"As a single senior who's already interning outside the school and no longer on campus, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow."
"We hope to see this girl in our squad during tomorrow's military training. Ancestors, please bless us."
"All of you are exaggerating too much. You haven't even seen her in person. Nowadays, with filters and beauty apps, who isn't a beauty? You say it's a candid photo, but who knows if it's staged."
"You upstairs with the sour grapes, watch me shut you up."
"The nose job is a bit obvious, in my personal opinion. If you're going to pick a fight with me, bring it on."
"Hey, Lingling, what are you looking at? Why do you look so pale? Didn't you go on the forum?" One of her roommates asked with concern.
"No... I'm looking at something else." Qiao Lingling exited the forum.
After finishing her meal, Qiao Ying went to collect her military training uniform under the guidance of the instructor, still unaware that her side profile photo had astonished the entire forum and quickly become popular.
Many people even downloaded it and set it as their screensaver, turning her into a "most wanted" figure on campus.
There were even proactive individuals who rushed to the restaurant.
Xu Zhili was listening to his grandfather and older brother Xu Zhiyi discussing mathematical problems when he suddenly received a message from Guan Wenyuan, asking him to check the forum.
He clicked on it and saw Qiao Ying's photo.
Xu Zhili silently saved the picture.
Meanwhile, Qiao Ying, while replying to Qin Hanyue's message, returned to her dormitory.
All three roommates were looking at their phones, and when Qiao Ying appeared, the intensity of their gaze and emotions were even stronger than in the afternoon.
It seemed like they were all browsing the forum.
Qiao Ying, General Qiao, tossed his clothes into the washing machine. It was such a hot day, and washing them now meant they would be dry and ready to wear tomorrow.
Qin Hanyue: [Miss Qiao, are you participating in military training tomorrow?]
Qiao Ying typed: [Isn't it a requirement by the school?]
Qin Hanyue: [What I mean is, do you still need to undergo military training?]
Qiao Ying replied: [Students should at least look like students.]
Qin Hanyue held his phone and tried to imagine it, but he couldn't quite picture it.
Just like those guys from Heishui, after the power struggle, Qin Hanyue couldn't imagine Qiao Ying as a student anymore.
Qiao Ying asked: [Mr. Qin, did you participate in military training at Tsinghua University back then?]
Qin Hanyue: [No, but now I regret it.]
Military training?
To the leader of Heishui, wasn't it just child's play?
Based on Qin Hanyue's understanding of Qiao Ying, he didn't think she would behave herself during military training...
