Chapter 1318: The Mermaid Princess (17)

System: Host, you've already eaten ten ice creams. Slow down a little. You're the school beauty now, so maintain your lofty and aloof image. If anyone discovers that you secretly devoured ten large ice creams in under twenty minutes, your image will completely collapse. The campus forum will explode the same day—Number One School Beauty Downs Ten Ice Creams in One Sitting, Beauty Image Shattered, and all that…

“I'm eating behind a tree. No one saw me.”

The moment Tang Guo said that, she suddenly sensed an unusually chilly gaze coming from somewhere.

Raising her head slightly, she met the eyes of its owner.

System: Hahahaha! No one saw you? Isn't that a person right there?

After finishing the ice cream in her hand, Tang Guo threw the wrapper into a nearby trash can, then elegantly wiped the corner of her lips with a tissue.

Throughout the entire process, her neck remained proudly lifted, never losing an ounce of grace. Even eating ice cream looked as refined as savoring some rare delicacy.

The handsome youth sitting on a bench entwined by lush vines on both sides wore a white shirt and exuded a cold aura. Holding a book in his hands, he looked up slightly, his gaze fixed on her all this time.

“Classmate.”

Tang Guo walked over to the young man and glanced at him.

“You've been staring at me for a full three minutes. Is it because you think I'm pretty?”

System: Host being this narcissistic definitely isn't her true nature. It must be the influence of the mermaid bloodline. Once we reach the next world, she'll definitely return to normal.

“No.”

The youth answered with two cold syllables, showing no intention of being polite. Yet his eyes still didn't leave her.

After a moment, he added, “Though your appearance is flawless and beyond criticism.”

System: ?

So he meant that her beauty wasn't why he had noticed her, but at the same time, he acknowledged that she was indeed beautiful.

Was that praise or disdain?

“Then why?”

The youth looked at her and said indifferently, “You ate ten large ice creams in less than twenty minutes. You're the biggest eater among all the girls I've ever met.”

System: Hahahahahaha! Biggest eater?!

“So, you sat here watching me eat twenty ice creams without blinking, thoroughly engrossed the whole time. Was it my appetite that attracted you?”

The cold-faced youth simply looked at Tang Guo.

“Why do you ask so many questions?”

“Because if I don't understand something, I should ask. And since there isn't anyone else here, I can only ask you.” Tang Guo sat down beside him with a smile. “Classmate, what grade are you in?”

“Second year.”

“Then you're my senior?” Tang Guo continued. “Senior, what's your name? Can you tell me?”

“Yin Yao.”

Even Yin Yao found it strange.

Why had he told her the truth so easily?

Tang Guo narrowed her eyes slightly.

Yin Yao.

That was a name with a story behind it.

“Senior Yin Yao.”

Yin Yao pursed his lips faintly, thinking it had been far too inappropriate to reveal his name so casually. His expression grew even colder.

His voice became several degrees icier, sounding completely unapproachable.

“What is it?”

“My name is A Guoguo. It's nice to meet you.” Tang Guo extended her hand and looked at him with a cheerful smile. “I ate so much, yet you didn't laugh at me. That means you're a very gentlemanly person, Senior.”

Praised?
