Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 323 - 321: Incomparable

Feng Jiajun leaned back in his chair, a mocking smile on his face. "There’s no comparison."

How could Chen Ying possibly be compared to a girl like that?

Zhang Caide knew it. Although he wasn’t widely experienced, he had seen his fair share of beautiful women, yet he had never seen any girl more beautiful than Chen Ying.

"For someone who has already seen a true diamond, anyone they meet afterward is just settling. Xue Yang may have a girlfriend now, but I’m sure he’ll regret it one day," Zhang Caide said with the look of a man who knows men best.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiajun frowned slightly. "What I mean is, there’s no comparison between Chen Ying and his girlfriend."

Zhang Caide was baffled. He thought Feng Jiajun had gone soft in the head from working too much. "Jia Jun, even if Xue Yang is your boss now, you don’t have to lie so blatantly, do you?"

If there was truly no comparison, he’d eat his hat.

Feng Jiajun just smiled, his eyes filled with sincerity. "Brother Caide, you know I never lie."

Feng Jiajun was a programmer and was known at school for being a typical, brutally honest guy. He was always straightforward and spoke his mind. To put it precisely, he had low emotional intelligence.

Zhang Caide stared at him wide-eyed, but Feng Jiajun just nodded slightly and said no more.

Zhang Caide felt like a clown.

That girl... was she really that beautiful?

Chen Ying and Wu Xiaoya were sitting not far from them, clearly hearing every word Feng Jiajun and Zhang Caide said.

Chen Ying’s beautiful face turned pale. She had recently changed her style of dress and grooming to ensure her status as the campus belle remained unshakeable. But now, just based on a photograph, she had been outshone twice.

Twice, and both times right in front of me. Could anything be more heartbreaking?

Wu Xiaoya tactically picked up her cup to drink water, her eyes subconsciously glancing elsewhere.

"Xiao Ya, have you seen his girlfriend too?"

Knowing she couldn’t dodge the question, Wu Xiaoya forced a smile. "Ying Ying, you two aren’t involved anymore. Just... let it go."

She really didn’t understand why Ying Ying felt the need to outdo that girl. After all, wasn’t it she who had pushed Xue Yang away? The one who lets go first has no right to regret it, right?

Chen Ying raised her voice, "I’m asking you, have you seen his girlfriend or not?"

Wu Xiaoya had no choice but to tell the truth. "I’ve only seen a photo. I haven’t met her in person yet."

"Then do you think she’s really prettier than me?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Ying Ying, I think everyone is unique. There’s really no need to compare."

"It seems you also think I can’t measure up to her."

I can’t compare. I can’t compare. I can’t compare. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t compare. If it were in person, I might have accepted it. But to lose to a mere photograph... how could I possibly accept that?

"Ying Ying, I think you’re wonderful just the way you are. Constantly comparing yourself to others will only make you less like yourself."

"Xiao Ya, you wouldn’t understand."

I can let go of Xue Yang. But only on the condition that his new girlfriend isn’t better than me. That’s the only way I’ll still have a place in his heart. If he finds a girlfriend who is better than me, especially one who is *much* better, then I will have been completely defeated.

"Ying Ying, it’s just a photo. Maybe in real life, she isn’t as beautiful as you. Don’t overthink it."

The light in Chen Ying’s eyes suddenly brightened. "You’re right. Maybe her photo is deceiving. Anyway, I’ll see her in September. There’s no hurry. I can wait."

Strictly speaking, she would still be a senior at the university, but she would be spending less time on campus as she’d be busy with internships.

Wu Xiaoya just smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.

How would I know what the boss’s wife really looks like? What if she’s even more beautiful than her picture?

「...」

「Early on Monday morning, Xue Yang first dropped Lin Xi off at school before heading back to his own.」

Without a doubt, as soon as he appeared in the classroom, he immediately attracted the attention of his classmates.

"Look, Xue Yang has a new hairstyle! He’s even more handsome."

"He looks so innocent and yet so fierce... I really want to touch his hair. It must be so soft."

The girls huddled together, whispering among themselves. The boys, on the other hand, instinctively kept their distance from Xue Yang, afraid of being overshadowed by his aura—that would be too tragic.

Today, since Cui Hao was busy with the studio and couldn’t make it to class, Xue Yang uncharacteristically answered the roll call for him. When he did, Cai Keke and some others familiar with Xue Yang turned their heads in surprise. After all, for a model student like Xue Yang, answering the roll call for someone else was simply unbelievable.

Especially Cai Keke, whose beautiful eyes widened in shock.

Is this the Xue Yang I know?

Xue Yang sat at his desk, attentively listening to the lecture. He was aware of the reactions around him but didn’t let them bother him. His skin had grown thicker by now, and he was learning not to care about what others thought.

Once class ended, he headed straight to the studio.

The people at the studio reacted almost the same way his classmates had; they were nearly blinded by his appearance.

Cui Hao blurted out, "FUCK! Did you get a head transplant this weekend?"

"Yeah, got a head transplant."

"Where did you get it? I want to get one too."

Xue Yang replied seriously, "A fashion styling shop on Yancheng Middle Road called ’Baroque.’ Look for a stylist named Tony."

It seemed like every stylist in the country was named Tony, but not all Tonys were affordable. Take the Tony from Baroque, for instance. He was nationally recognized as the most difficult stylist to book. Money alone couldn’t guarantee an appointment; you first had to earn his approval.

Cui Hao was sour with envy. "Marrying well really makes a difference. You even managed to book Tony from Baroque."

"I can’t help it. I have no ambitions. I just like to live off a woman."

Once these words were out, Cui Hao couldn’t sit still. He howled and lunged at Xue Yang, vowing to ruin his new hairstyle. The others also stood up from their seats, eager to join the commotion and shouting excitedly.

Cui Hao had brute strength but lacked the height, so he ultimately had to sit back down, simmering with resentment. Everyone knew this was the case.

"Bro, don’t chicken out!"

"Right! Boss Xue is way too arrogant now. Only you can put him in his place."

Cui Hao was visibly annoyed. "Put him in his place, my ass! Piss off, I’m irritated."

Ever since he sent Bai Yueguang that photo of Xue Yang, she had been hinting that she wanted to meet. Cui Hao was almost fed up. Now, seeing Xue Yang with another new, even more dashing hairstyle, he couldn’t help but stir up a little trouble—it was a way for him to vent.
