Chapter 214: The Flower Sender: Han Ning, Third on the Campus Belle Ranking

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The Flower Sender: Han Ning, Third on the Campus Belle Ranking

She screamed with all her might. The sound was so loud that at least half the people near the large stage probably heard it!

"Uh..."

Many people who heard it subconsciously glanced in the girl’s direction.

A very youthful, oval-shaped face came into everyone’s view...

"Whoa!"

"That upperclassman is actually pretty cute!"

"Didn’t expect her to be so bold!"

...

Many of the guys started whispering among themselves.

Su Qinghe, standing in the crowd, heard it too. She couldn’t help but glance in the girl’s direction.

"Qinghe, your love rival has appeared!"

"Yeah, that upperclassman is so shameless!"

"Seriously, these upperclassmen are terrifying!"

"From now on, after tonight, you’d better keep a closer eye on your Mr. Gu!"

Before Su Qinghe could say anything, Chu Xiaomeng and the others, unable to stand it, spoke up indignantly.

Hearing this, Su Qinghe just shook her head gently. She wasn’t worried about any of this.

’That upperclassman is just too worked up!’

’It’s a shame, but she doesn’t stand a chance!’

’Because... Gu Yifan is mine!’

After a moment’s thought, she asked in a soft, confused voice, "Why ’have monkeys’?"

"Uh..."

Seeing Su Qinghe’s curious expression, Chu Xiaomeng and the others were completely baffled.

They looked at Su Qinghe as if she were an alien.

’She doesn’t even know what "have monkeys" means?’

Seeing them all staring at her strangely, Su Qinghe’s face turned slightly red.

Bao Baijie saw this and realized Su Qinghe genuinely didn’t get the reference, so she explained, "It just means ’to have babies.’ It’s an internet meme."

"Oh, I see."

Although Su Qinghe still seemed a little confused, she nodded gently.

Meanwhile, Gu Yifan, standing center stage, heard the upperclassman’s shout about having his monkeys, and his singing even faltered for a moment!

Gu Yifan glanced at the extremely excited, oval-faced upperclassman, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He quickly shook off the distracting thoughts and continued to sing with focus.

This little interlude was quickly forgotten by the crowd, and everyone went back to listening intently to Gu Yifan’s performance.

"I LOVE YOU

Never giving up, baby, this right to love you..."

When Gu Yifan finished the last line, everyone in the audience was completely lost in the song. They all forgot to applaud.

"Whew..."

Gu Yifan took a deep breath, bowed to the audience, and said softly, "That’s the end of my performance! Thank you, everyone!"

"That was amazing!!!"

Only then did the audience snap out of their daze.

"CLAP CLAP CLAP—CLAP CLAP CLAP—"

After someone shouted, they led the rest in vigorous applause.

Applause erupted like thunder below the stage.

Gu Yifan smiled slightly and was about to turn and walk backstage.

Just then, a girl broke through the crowd, holding a bouquet of flowers, and slowly walked toward the center of the stage...

"W-wait a minute!"

A voice called out from behind Gu Yifan, and he paused mid-step.

He subconsciously turned around to see a face that couldn’t be more familiar appear before him.

"Han Ning?"

Gu Yifan blurted out in surprise.

That’s right!

The person who had come was none other than Han Ning, whom Gu Yifan had seen on the athletic field a few days ago.

Today, Han Ning was wearing a white chiffon dress with a red bow in her hair. Her sharp, delicate shoulders were like jade, and her swan-like neck was exposed. She looked radiant and charming, pure yet coquettish, like a proud, noble princess from a fairytale castle.

But right now, she had her chin tilted up slightly, gazing at Gu Yifan with an expectant look in her eyes.

Her sudden appearance once again sent the audience below the stage into an uproar!

"Damn... she’s so beautiful!"

"Who is that girl?"

"Three minutes! I want all of this girl’s info and contact details in three minutes!"

"Holy crap!"

"Isn’t that the Han School Beauty, ranked third on the school beauty list?"

"She’s actually going on stage to give him flowers?"

Someone suddenly recognized Han Ning and exclaimed in shock.

"Hey, bro... uh, let me just ask, who is this Han School Beauty?"

"Jeez, man, is your dorm not connected to the internet? You don’t even know who the Han School Beauty is?"

"Uh..."

"I’m a senior. I’ve been doing an internship at a factory, my schedule’s all messed up. I just rushed back today for the anniversary gala!"

"Oh, no wonder!"

"You know the Freshman School Beauty rankings, right?"

"Yeah, they have that thing every year. This year’s is already out?"

"Yep, it’s out!"

"The Han School Beauty is ranked third on the list!"

"But after seeing her in person tonight, I don’t think it’d be an exaggeration to rank the Han School Beauty first!"

"She’s just too gorgeous!"

...

While the guys below were buzzing, Gu Yifan, on stage, was momentarily at a loss for words.

He truly hadn’t expected Han Ning to show up here.

Han Ning’s sudden appearance didn’t just surprise Gu Yifan; the female host standing in the corner was also stunned for a moment.

However, seeing the flowers in her hand, the host didn’t say anything, assuming Han Ning was just someone assigned by the backstage crew to present the bouquet.

’But, to be fair, this girl’s looks and aura really are top-tier. She’s like a runaway Disney princess!’

"Th-this is for you."

Seeing Gu Yifan remain silent, Han Ning held the bouquet out to him, biting her red lip as she spoke.

"Uh..."

Gu Yifan froze for a second, then quickly smiled and said, "Thanks!"

He casually took the flowers from Han Ning, getting ready to make a quick exit.

After all, with so many people watching, he was genuinely afraid this girl would lose her head and cause some kind of scene!

So, of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was the best option!

"Wh-why is she here too?"

At that moment, Su Qinghe, standing in the crowd, froze when she saw Han Ning appear.

Unlike Gu Yifan, she had no idea that Han Ning had also come to Jinling University.

"Whoa!"

"Where did this girl pop out from? She’s way too good-looking, isn’t she?"

"Qinghe, you’ve really got a rival this time!"

"For real!"

"This girl’s looks are on par with Qinghe’s."

...

Chu Xiaomeng and the others started chattering away anxiously.

"Wait, I know!"

"I think that’s Han Ning, the one who’s third on the school beauty list!"

"She went to the same high school as Qinghe and Handsome Gu."

"I think it really is her!"

"I can’t believe she’s even prettier in person than in her photos!"

Bao Baijie casually asked, "Qinghe, do you know her?"

But Su Qinghe was staring at Gu Yifan and Han Ning on the stage with a complicated expression, and she didn’t hear her friend at all.

"Huh?"

"Qinghe? Qinghe..."

Seeing that Su Qinghe wasn’t responding after being called several times,

Bao Baijie frowned slightly. She slowly turned to look and suddenly noticed that something was off about Su Qinghe’s expression and the look in her eyes...
