Xu Wei: "I know you must be feeling unwilling, but there is nothing that can be done; after all, my popularity is higher than yours"

Ding Xiaoxiao nodded: "It's so terrifying, my little heart can hardly take it anymore"

Ding Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, could no longer pretend to be a lady. She wanted to step out and help Yan Sitong get rid of Xu Wei, but she was stopped by Tang Ziye, who gave her a knowing glance. Ding Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Beichen, who was walking into the crowd, and nodded in silent agreement.

The auditorium was crowded, with both onlookers and participants in the competition. With five minutes to go, the crowd erupted in a commotion as a boy dressed lightly for the winter walked in. He had a good physique and looked quite handsome, which sparked a flurry of discussions among the surrounding girls. It was through these discussions that Yan Sitong learned who this boy was

This comfort seemed to be very effective for Tang Ziye, as he looked at Ding Xiaoxiao with a mischievous grin and said, "Now that I am this handsome, would you consider being my girlfriend?"

The first debate match is scheduled for Saturday afternoon in the school auditorium. By the time Yan Sitong and the others arrived, the tables had already been set up on the auditorium stage. The topic of the debate and the teams for the first round of competition will be determined by a draw shortly.

Xu Wei: "That won't do, I am planning for a three-time championship."

Seeing the "killing intent" in the other person's eyes and recalling the pain after being thrown over the shoulder, Tang Ziye wisely closed his mouth and looked at Su Beichen and the other two.

"If it's because of Ding Xiaoxiao, you can all come over together. She is quite the beauty. " Xu Wei, oblivious to the changes in the expressions and demeanor of those before him, continued, "Once she arrives, there will likely be a swarm of boys rushing over."

There exists a type of person in the world who is narcissistic and sharp-tongued, believing that the Earth revolves around them and that everyone under heaven should heed their commands. Xu Wei is one such individual, who has always been surrounded by girls as if he were the center of the universe. He thinks that Yan Sitong's retorts are merely attempts to attract his attention, and that Su Beichen's appearance is simply due to his unwillingness to be overshadowed by him

Xu Wei: "Is that so? You have always lost to me, do you think you will win this time?"

Tang Ziye ran over to Yan Sitong with a mischievous smile and said: "Junior sister, it's been a long time since I've seen you explode; I thought you would hold it in until the end."

"Of course not, you are the exception," Xu Wei said

Tang Ziye certainly would not take a step back: "How could I be joking? I am very serious about planning to seize the debate team championship, which I have held for two consecutive years, from you."

"Don't you often scold him? Why can't others say it?" This is what Tang Ziye calls a leading question

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd

You want me to let go, so I will let go? Xu Wei sneered coldly

How can you speak so venomously! Xu Wei, in a fit of rage, had a gaze that could rival that of Mo Yuran.

Ignored? Xu Wei pulled Yan Sitong's arm away from Su Beichen and said: "Are you trying to take away the girl I like just because you are more popular than me?"

Xu Wei: "I... I have been the champion of the debate competition for two consecutive years"

"Stop using this to pressure me; this level of force cannot harm me." Xu Wei felt a bit anxious inside, but with so many people present, it would be extremely embarrassing for him to let her go easily just because of these few words. He could only brace himself and continue.

Tang Ziye understood from his gaze and reached out to pull Ding Xiaoxiao behind him for protection, leaving only Yan Sitong directly exposed in front of Xu Wei

Girl B: "I still prefer Jianhan."

No, it must be something said offhand

Su Beichen cast his classic gaze of indifference, as if to say "I can't be bothered with you," and turned his attention to Yan Sitong. He grabbed her arm and examined it closely, saying, "The force was quite strong; there might be a bit of bruising afterward, but it's nothing serious."

Is that so? Although Yan Sitong has a quick temper and is prone to anger, she can still control herself when there are many people around, as she does not want to draw too much attention to herself. I still think that Senior Tang's side is better.

The term "ugly man" struck a sensitive nerve in Xu Wei. He grasped Yan Sitong's arm and asked sharply, "You actually said I am ugly? Don't you know I am one of the three great princes?"

Is that so? Xu Wei's gaze dimmed, seemingly a bit disappointed. "I wanted to recruit you into the debate club earlier, but I didn't expect you to join Tang Ziye's side. So, what do you think? Do you want to switch to my side? After all, Tang Ziye's team is just for fun due to a bet, and they might not even make it past the first round today. My team is guaranteed to reach the finals."

Yan Sitong wished she could grab Su Beichen's shoulders and shake him back and forth to ask what was going on. However, she only thought about it; given his temperament, he would probably be so infuriated that he wouldn't even let her ask anything. Now, there was a more serious question: could it be that she really had started to like Su Beichen? It made no sense. She touched her chest, her heartbeat was steady, and her breath was not irregular. Perhaps what she had just said was merely a casual remark.

Ding Xiaoxiao patted his shoulder and said: "Senior, you are so handsome that you have reached the pinnacle, far beyond the reach of these mere mortals"

Tang Ziye, who was standing nearby, felt a bit sad; he is also a handsome guy, so why is he not on the prince ranking list

The foreign language department's little firecracker, Yan Sitong? Xu Weirao looked at the girl in front of him with interest. Compared to the obedient Ding Xiaoxiao, he found the little firecracker more intriguing. "I have heard about your impressive eloquence. Have you considered joining me to win the championship and participate in the national competition?"

Su Beichen? He is actually a prince? The girls who voted must all be nearsighted, or perhaps the kind who forgot to wear their glasses when going out

Upon hearing this, Yan Sitong smiled, feeling quite happy: "Oh, when you liked me, you called me 'Little Chili Pepper', but now you say I'm malicious? It's said that seniors are fickle, but it's truly rare to see someone like Senior Xu change so quickly!"

It turns out that when Senior Xu gets angry out of embarrassment, he likes to bully girls. I have witnessed it today. Ouch, you really hurt me with your grip. It seems I will have to go to the infirmary to check for injuries. If the injuries are too severe and I accidentally end up hospitalized, then Senior must accompany me in the hospital every day, and you will also have to cover the medical expenses. As for the debate competition selection, you might as well not participate.

"Ah, I am truly honored to be regarded so highly by you, senior. However, I must apologize, as I have a strong aversion to working with narcissistic and vain individuals. The only reason I remain on Tang Ziye's side is that his looks are more appealing than yours." As she spoke, she disdainfully pushed Xu Wei aside, saying, "I’m sorry, but I have no interest in unattractive men."

Is that so? Yan Sitong sneered, "In your eyes, are beautiful women merely decorative vases?"

The appearance of Su Beichen caused the girls to chatter once again; the appearance of one of the three princes is already remarkable, and the emergence of another is truly a matter worth exclaiming about.

Xu Wei was angry: "Su Beichen, don't think that just because you are silent, I don't know what you are thinking? What are you pretending to be aloof for? I don't believe that you truly don't care about anything."

"This is our second meeting; I wonder if you still remember?" Xu Wei approached to establish rapport.

The people around, taken aback, burst into laughter upon hearing this statement. For a long time thereafter, this phrase became a popular saying on campus, leaving Xu Wei so infuriated that she was unwilling to even step out of her dormitory.

The close distance made Yan Sitong feel somewhat uncomfortable, so she shifted back a little. She awkwardly replied, "I’m sorry, I don’t remember."

Su Beichen's expression remained one of indifference.

The three great princes? Is she ignorant? She has never heard of them at all

I initially wanted to endure it, but he said that when Su Beichen pretends to be aloof, it becomes intolerable. This guy Su Beichen probably thinks that pretending to be aloof is a waste of time. Yan Sitong said indignantly, completely unaware of her changing attitude towards Su Beichen

Tang Ziye: "Is that so? Then betting with me will be your most unwise action"

Most people are aware that it is best not to disturb others when they are angry, yet some individuals, such as Xu Wei, particularly enjoy provoking them

That is not necessarily the case

Su Beichen: "Bored."

After saying "putting on airs of superiority," Su Beichen still wore an expression of "too lazy to pay attention to you"

Yan Sitong looked at the two people in front of her, who were at odds with each other, as if they were monsters. She quietly said to Ding Xiaoxiao beside her, "So boys can act like this too; I thought only girls would."

Xu Wei is a famous playboy, who enjoys flirting with beautiful girls. Upon seeing Ding Xiaoxiao and Yan Sitong behind Tang Ziye, his eyes lit up: "Is this your team? You should have mentioned it earlier. With such beauties, I would willingly lose to you."

I checked the time, and there are still fifteen minutes until the lottery draw, but Su Beichen has not yet arrived

Su Beichen did not expect that the "flames of war" would spread to himself, and he raised his head to look at Xu Weiwei with a delayed realization, saying: "Oh, I am a prince, with knights to protect me"

"The ranking of the three great princes of the school, you are ranked third, you must be feeling quite unwilling, right?" Xu Wei said triumphantly.

Yan Sitong looked up as he walked step by step through the crowd, his pace seemingly a bit faster than before. Upon reaching her, Su Beichen glanced at Xu Wei and said淡淡地: "Let go."

Girl A: "Xu Weizhen is handsome, truly deserving of being one of the three princes of our school"

Ding Xiaoxiao: "There will be more to pack later, for now, let's take a moment to gather our emotions"

Su Beichen was taken aback, his mind searching for information on the term "prince," only to find a blank space. He asked, "Prince?"

The people around were all watching the commotion, and no one was willing to step forward to help Yan Sitong. Although she was sharp-tongued, her strength could not compare to that of a boy who was more than ten centimeters taller than her. While she may have lost in strength, she could not afford to lose in momentum.

Yan Sitong, who was standing nearby, could no longer hold back. Like a tough woman (which she actually is), she pulled Su Beichen aside and activated her "verbal artillery" skill: "I remember there used to be a saying, 'With Buddha in the heart, one sees Buddha in others.' Someone like you should be said to enjoy pretending to be aloof, thinking that everyone else is just as pretentious as you, right? Hehe, you even claim to know what Su Beichen is thinking. Why don't you tell me what Su Beichen is thinking?"

Oh, your exclusive one. "Tang Ziye smiled enigmatically, "Beichen, did you hear that?"

Despite her inner complaints, Yan Sitong realized the identity of Xu Wei; it turned out that the person who had made a bet with Tang Ziye was him. However, she was also somewhat surprised that Tang Ziye was not among the "Three Great Princes"

Seeing that she could not win the argument against Yan Sitong, Xu Wei turned her attention to Su Beichen, who was standing silently beside her: "Su Beichen, what kind of man lets a girl speak up for him?"

"Can it be the same? I can scold my own things however I want, but when others say it, it's not acceptable." After saying this, Yan Sitong closed her mouth, punched Tang Ziye on the back, and her face turned extremely red

However, it is quite normal; he usually arrives at the last moment. Arriving ten minutes early is nothing to others, but for him, it is a significant gap

"Senior, your words are truly amusing. You forgot to add two words: you are the champion of the university-level debate competition. Not only have you never left the province, but there are only two universities in the city that participated in the competition, and you haven't won against either of them. You really have the nerve to say that." Yan Sitong sighed and feigned a look of regret, saying, "However, you won't even have this point to boast about in the future, because this year's champion will be the four of us. You should just go back and look in the mirror to self-hypnotize yourself."

Everyone, please gather quickly, the drawing is about to begin. The host's words gave Xu Wei a moment to catch her breath, allowing her to run to the front of the stage, no longer paying attention to the crowd.

"Let me help you check your injuries." Su Beichen's voice came from the crowd

Yan Sitong: "Stop pretending"

Then you don't need to let go, I can just call the teacher over. The scene in the television where one forcefully grabs Xu Wei's hand and compels the other party to release it will absolutely not occur with Su Beichen. Even if he had that kind of strength, he would definitely feel that the consequences would be endless and would refrain from using it. Although he is already a university student, calling the teacher is still the simplest and most direct way.

Xu Wei: "Of course it is ... ... "

He walked straight through the crowd as if he had a GPS, arriving right in front of Tang Ziye, and said with a smug expression: "You really came, I thought you were joking."

"Su Beichen, I didn't expect you to participate in the debate competition just to compete with me." Xu Wei released his grip on Yan Sitong's hand and waved the debate team roster with his other hand. "When I saw your name on the list, I knew it. Are you jealous that I rank higher than you on the prince leaderboard?"

Of course, it's a deliberate disguise, shaping the image of an ice prince to make the girls go crazy for him, and then when the next prince voting comes around, they will vote for him, right? Yan Sitong's tone was filled with sarcasm. Seeing Xu Wei preparing to respond, she interrupted him and continued, "Do you think everyone cares about those boring titles that can't be eaten or used to make money, just like you do? Please, big brother, do you think you are still in elementary school? Oh, no, elementary school students are quite mature now; do you think you haven't graduated from kindergarten?" Do you really think that just because someone calls you prince, you are one? Do you have a castle? Do you have endless gold coins? Well, I know you have none of those. So let's be realistic, what do you have that is worth showing off? Don't even mention your looks; Su Beichen and Tang Ziye are both better looking than you, and in the ranking of the three major princes, you are still in second place, so you are not even qualified to talk about your face.

Which one is Jianhan

Oh, what does it mean

Girl A: "I really don't understand how Su Beichen was selected"

Su Beichen: "Oh"

"Do you not think your current demeanor is ugly?" Yan Sitong sneered, "Let go of me, or you will suffer greatly."

Tang Ziye must be furious now. Ding Xiaoxiao poked Yan Sitong and pointed at the fuming Tang Ziye, clearly indicating that he had also heard the gossip about the 'Three Great Princes'.

Is this truly comfort rather than harm to others
