Emma Quinn and Jeff naturally knew each other.
Among the entire NYU literature department, very few people didn't know Emma Quinn.
She was excessively outstanding.
Not only was she Vice Chair of the Student Union, but also Head of the Dance Club, and she had hosted several art galas. Her singing was beautiful, and she even held a Piano Level 10 certificate.
But none of that was the main point.
The main point was she was incredibly beautiful.
In the hearts of many male students, she was even more beautiful than popular celebrities.
Before meeting Emma Quinn, you might not know what love at first sight meant.
After seeing her in person, you couldn't lie to yourself.
Not only that, Emma Quinn's family background seemed quite extraordinary.
Precisely because of this, very few male students dared to pursue her.
You would feel unworthy.
The halo around Emma Quinn was too dazzling.
Jeff knew his place.
When he was pursuing Lindsay before, he already felt he was reaching too high.
Emma Quinn was someone he didn't dare even think of reaching for.
But now, what if he just spent a little? It seemed fine, right?
Anyway, it wasn't his own money.
Around eight in the morning.
Jeff arrived at the public lecture classroom.
Today, he wore the clothes Ava bought for him yesterday.
His hairstyle wasn't messy anymore.
It must be said, Ava's taste was really good; the clothes she chose perfectly brought out his temperament.
He looked refined and clean.
"Oh! Who is that guy? He's quite handsome. Why haven't I seen him before?"
"I don't know him, but he looks a bit familiar!"
"Jeff Thompson, oh my goodness, it really is Jeff! Why didn't I realize he was so handsome before?"
"Actually, Jeff wasn't ugly to begin with. It's just that his previous hairstyle was too low, his clothes weren't great, and he used to run to the girls' dorm every day to simp for Lindsay, making him seem like a loser. I never thought he'd change so much after she dumped him!"
"It seems breaking up really makes people grow!"
Several girls gathered, discussing animatedly, occasionally casting glances toward Jeff's seat.
Just then, Lindsay Summers and Madison Hayes walked into the classroom hand-in-hand.
These two girls were dressed fashionably and youthfully.
Especially Lindsay, with her ponytail and white sneakers, her tight hip-hugging pants perfectly accentuated her exquisite figure.
She looked youthful and radiant!
The moment she saw Jeff.
She was stunned for a full two seconds.
She seemed unable to believe that this unkempt guy, when tidied up a bit, could also look so good!
Lindsay Summers: Favorability +10
Lindsay Summers: Favorability +10
Lindsay Summers: Favorability +10
Jeff was a bit speechless. The first time they met again, Lindsay's favorability toward him increased by thirty points.
His three years of effort before hadn't made Lindsay look at him differently; instead, she grew more and more disgusted.
Now, he just changed his outfit.
And made himself a little more handsome.
And it increased her favorability by thirty points?
Jeff's mindset exploded; he wanted to curse!
Sure enough, women are superficial creatures.
A few seconds later, Lindsay and Madison sat in the seats behind Jeff.
If it were before, Lindsay definitely wouldn't have sat so close to him.
Even when they were officially dating, Lindsay would try to keep her distance from Jeff.
But now, she actually voluntarily sat behind him!
At this moment, several male students around them began to discuss.
"Did you guys watch Shark Livestream yesterday? Holy crap, in Mia's livestream room, popularity broke two billion! Some rich guy spent five thousand Super Rockets in half an hour, it was insane!"
"I didn't watch yesterday, but I saw it trending on Twitter this morning. Inhumanly rich!"
"Five thousand Super Rockets—isn't that ten million? That much money could buy a condo! And he just spent it on a streamer, without getting a single hair in return! Poverty limits my imagination!"
"Heh heh! Do you think those rich guys are idiots with too much money to burn? Who would spend that much without benefits? It's either a PY transaction or a guild pushing momentum. What's so strange about that!"
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding classmates.
Jeff paused.
The mysterious rich guy you're discussing, don't you know that he is sitting right next to you?
He didn't expect sending rockets could make it to trending.
Looks like it wasn't for nothing!
This feeling of being discussed and admired felt pretty good!
It made him want to loudly declare: "I'll come clean, I am the mysterious rich guy you're talking about, I am Shadow Blaze, haha!"
He wondered if saying that would be seen as showing off too much.
Just then, two more girls walked in from the classroom door.
One was dressed very neutrally, with short hair like a boy's, standing about 5'8".
The other girl was 5'6". The moment she walked in, over two hundred students in the large classroom collectively fell silent.
Especially the boys—their eyes all widened!
This girl was not only beautiful but also very elegant.
The difference between her and ordinary girls was obvious.
It was like a white swan walking into a group of ugly ducklings.
Every movement drew attention.
"Emma Quinn is truly beautiful. She doesn't even try, and she's still stunning."
"She has good skin, a good figure, a beautiful face, and she's also very talented. A girl like that, let alone boys, even girls would like her."
"But I heard Emma Quinn has already been taken care of by someone. Last time I saw her getting into a Rolls-Royce."
"Mind your own business about what car people get into. Don't spread rumors without evidence!"
The boys' eyes were full of anticipation.
They hoped Emma Quinn would sit in the empty seat next to them.
Even if they couldn't be deskmates, being closer to the goddess was still good!
Just at this anticipated moment.
A handsome and tall boy suddenly stood up.
He walked straight up to Emma Quinn.
"Chair Quinn, I... I can add your X or Instagram?"
"Holy crap, Robert has some serious guts! He actually asked for her contact info directly!"
"Damn it, my face isn't thick enough. I should have gone first."
For a moment, all the gossiping classmates waited for Emma Quinn's reaction.
However, before Emma Quinn could speak, the short-haired neutral girl behind her quickly stepped in front of Robert.
"What are you doing?"
"Uh... it's like this, my name is Robert, and I want to apply to join the Student Union. Since Emma is Vice Chair, I just wanted to ask!" Robert explained.
"If you want to join the Student Union, go fill out an application yourself. Besides, the Student Union recruits new members every year. You haven't joined in three years, and now you're using this opportunity to ask Emma for her Instagram. Do you really want to join the Student Union, or do you have some other motive? Hmm?"
The short-haired girl bluntly exposed Robert's excuse.
For a moment, the scene was extremely awkward!
"I... I..."
Robert stammered, his handsome and sunny face turning beet red.
It really was super awkward!
