"Beauty makes a meal easier to swallow!"

Ye Feng's casual remark caused Chouchou to be taken aback, followed by a trace of disappointment and self-mockery crossing her somewhat terrifying face. She shook her head and continued to eat.

She had indeed thought that Ye Feng was the first person who had never despised or ridiculed her, but now she realized she was wrong!

The youthful man before her was no different from the others; he too had an immediate reaction to beauty and ugliness!

Ye Feng naturally noticed the look on Chouchou's face and smiled, "Do you think I am mocking you?"

"Isn't that so?" Chouchou, despite having an ugly face, had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes which blinked a few times as she retorted.

Ye Feng merely shook his head and, pointing at the other students around them, said, "They mock you only because they can't see your beauty!"

"My beauty?" Chouchou wore a perplexed expression mixed with thick self-derision, "Even I can't find my own beauty, so how can I expect others to see it?"

"It's precisely because you can't see your own beauty that I am able to," Ye Feng said in a tongue-twister fashion, and then with an intense gaze, he fixed his eyes on Chouchou, "In this world, only I can discover your beauty! Likewise, only I can unearth it!"

"Huh?"

Chouchou felt extremely uncomfortable under Ye Feng's direct gaze, but she could sense that the young man was not deceiving her, as if she really appeared beautiful in his eyes.

"Am I beautiful?" Chouchou asked herself in her heart and then shook her head. Her life had been devoid of beauty, accompanied by ugliness; perhaps it was just that Ye Feng's taste was somewhat peculiar!

Nevertheless, Chouchou felt very happy deep inside, since Ye Feng was the first person who had ever told her she was beautiful from childhood to adulthood!

The two of them just had a brief exchange and then both buried their heads in their meals again!

They were very natural with each other, relaxed and in tune!

The other students in the cafeteria were astounded to see Ye Feng sitting beside Chouchou as if nothing was out of the ordinary. They all couldn't imagine that someone could truly bear that dinosaur-like girl.

"Damn! Who is that guy? So fierce, sitting next to Jiangnan's Number One Ugly like nothing's wrong—totally a character!"

"That dude seems to be the recently famous Piano Prince, heard he became an overnight sensation at the welcome party! But how the hell did he end up with that dinosaur? It's just so weird!"

"Hehe! Did you see the clothes that guy's wearing? So shabby. He must be a poor sod too, probably knows he can't score any chicks at school, so now he's targeting this dinosaur!"

"No way! That ugly and he's still okay with it?"

"Lights off and they're all the same! This kind of dinosaur is time-saving, effort-saving, and money-saving; perfect for the poor sods!"

...

The babble and discussions of the surrounding students did not spare Ye Feng and Chouchou. Upon hearing them, Chouchou's face turned pale; she sneakily glanced at Ye Feng and seeing that he seemed unaffected, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had never considered dating Ye Feng, she didn't want to miss out on this guy who could possibly become her only friend!

Just at this moment, an ill-timed voice rose, shattering the tranquility between the two!

"Yo! Isn't this our Art Department's top genius, Wang Chouchou? What's this? Has our goddess finally gotten herself a boyfriend?"

A voice laden with mockery and scorn arrived, and several people sauntered over from one side. Leading them was a scantily-clad girl. Her face was heavily made up, looking extremely pretty. She swayed to Chouchou's side, a look of derision on her face as she spoke.

Behind this girl were several others, both male and female, but one thing they had in common was the look of disgust they directed at Chouchou.

Chouchou seemed to be very familiar with this girl and her companions. She now glanced up indifferently, then continued to eat without a word, choosing to ignore the girl's ridicule.

Watching this, a cold light flickered in the eyes of the glamorous girl, but she continued relentlessly, "What's the matter? Is our genius upset? It's just a boyfriend, isn't it? When we go back, we must tell all the classmates in our class to offer their sincere congratulations! Don't you guys agree?"

Upon hearing the beautiful girl's question, the group behind her immediately chimed in.

"Yes! Our Art 01 class's top genius has gotten a boyfriend, which is a great event not just for our class but for our entire department. Naturally, we have to tell everyone and celebrate together!"

"Exactly! Look at our genius's boyfriend, so dashing and distinguished! Finding a talent like Chouchou among thousands of flowers is truly the result of eight lifetimes' worth of good fortune!"

"That's for sure! But shouldn't this handsome guy buy a decent set of clothes before chasing our genius? If the other people in our class knew that Chouchou's boyfriend dressed like a beggar, they'd die laughing!"

"You know nothing! That's called fashion! Didn't you see that tattered T-shirt he's wearing? It's a limited edition; you can't find it on the market!"

"Haha... I see! A trendy guy matched with a beautiful girl, it's simply a goddamn perfect match! We, as classmates, should pre-emptively wish the two of you a lifetime of happiness and unity, and hope you soon have a little Chouchou and a little beggar to bring us endless fun!"

...

The people behind the beautiful girl were incredibly malicious, their words belittling Chouchou and Ye Feng as if they were worth nothing. If it had been someone else, they might have already fled in shame.

"You're going too far!" Chouchou, trembling with anger, faced the group with her piercing phoenix eyes.

If these people had only mocked her, she wouldn't have cared, but they even dragged Ye Feng into it, which she found unbearable. After all, she had just met Ye Feng, and if she caused him to lose face because of her, Chouchou would undoubtedly feel guilty.

"Jiang Yiran, don't overdo it! You can laugh at me, but don't involve others!" Chouchou knew that these people were following the lead of the glamorous girl and addressed her directly.

The glamorous girl, named Jiang Yiran, was the beauty of the Art 01 class and had always excelled academically, which made her extremely proud!

But to her dismay, although she was the most beautiful girl in the Art 01 class and her studies weren't bad, she wasn't the one with the best grades. Above her, there was a Wang Chouchou!

Wang Chouchou, the valedictorian of their cohort and also a top scholar in their sophomore year! Despite his unattractive appearance, which made him unpopular among classmates and teachers, his intelligence and wit were the envy of everyone!

Hearing Chouchou's words, a deeper smirk formed at the corners of Jiang Yiran's mouth. Her gaze shifted to Ye Feng and she said:

"Hey handsome, your eating manners are so ugly. Can you be so gluttonous that even if a sow were put in front of you, you'd want to jump on it?"
