With just a few words, this guy managed to liven up the atmosphere.

Zeng Kaiping was envious. No wonder Ah Lin is so eloquent. If my speech were half as smooth as his, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself earlier.

"Well, as for me, I don't have many strengths to speak of, maybe just my height is okay. Besides that, at least I don't worsen the city's looks..."

There was another burst of laughter, especially among the girls like Ding Linna who already had a crush on Su Zelin. Even Luo Xi couldn't help but smile.

Though everyone could tell he was boasting, his approach was so unique that it was hard to dislike him.

Another act of humble bragging!

Su Zelin was eloquent and witty. During his speech, the classroom was filled with laughter almost without a break.

But even a slacker knows how to brag subtly, mastering the art of not overdoing it so others won't think he's too ostentatious.

For instance, Pei Wenzhe talked about being class president for three years in high school, being an excellent student, winning the 'Starlight Cup' for essays, and so on. While others might think he's impressive, they might also find him a bit arrogant.

By contrast, the humorous and unconventional Su Zelin was more approachable and likable.

After his speech, the slacker left a very good impression on everyone.

Especially Yao Hui, the homeroom teacher, who had a knack for recognizing talent. She astutely noticed this boy had an extraordinary charm, with a carefree yet steady demeanor, and a knack for understanding people's minds. He controlled the room from start to finish, everything well in hand.

Yao Hui had never seen a freshman quite like him, but she was very impressed.

Just as Su Zelin was about to step off the stage, the homeroom teacher spoke up. She smiled and said, "Su Zelin, if I remember correctly, you got a perfect score on the English test in this college entrance exam, ranking first in Zhejiang Province, right?"

She had reviewed everyone's scores in the class, and a perfect score in English couldn't be overlooked.

Yao Hui's words were actually helping the slacker, proactively boosting his image.

The entire class was in an uproar at her words.

No way, this guy is the top scorer in English, with a perfect score?

Even Luo Xi was surprised. She knew how difficult it was to get a perfect score in English!

"Hehe, yes, Teacher Yao. I was lucky during the exam and guessed a lot of answers correctly."

The slacker's tone was nonchalant; when meeting new people, bragging must be done modestly.

When he admitted it, everyone erupted.

To think, in our modest college, there's a hidden gem, a top scorer in English seated among us!

Such an admirable achievement, and he didn't even mention it during his self-introduction. That's truly humble.

Su Zelin's likability and image points skyrocketed again.

Luo Xi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

She initially thought Su Zelin was a schemer taking advantage of his roommate, but who would've thought he was the provincial top scorer in English with a perfect score.

Given that, and his good looks, it's easy for him to attract female attention.

Pei Wenzhe's face turned red and then pale. Just now he had bragged about his dazzling high school achievements, but compared to Su Zelin's, they seemed insignificant.

Simultaneously, he felt deeply threatened because Su Zelin's speech was remarkably well-received, gaining popularity in an instant, and as the provincial English top scorer, even the homeroom teacher seemed to appreciate him.

This person is a threat!

After returning to his seat, the slacker became the main character.

"Su Zelin, I didn't know you were the English top scorer, that's amazing!"

"A perfect score in English is really tough. Our province hasn't had one in years!"

"Su Zelin, you're so modest. If Teacher Yao hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have known!"

"..."

Ding Linna and a few other girls' feelings started shifting from fondness to admiration.

Su Zelin couldn't help but feel delighted, thinking how useful this top scorer title was, almost essential for charming people and picking up girls on any trip!

...

After the last freshman had finished their speech, Yao Hui returned to the podium.

"Through these self-introductions, I think everyone has gotten a preliminary understanding of their new classmates. I hope everyone can coexist harmoniously, united and friendly!"

The homeroom teacher didn't mention the class officer elections. After all, these students had just gathered together and hadn't interacted much, knowing each other only through brief speeches was not enough. She planned to delay this, giving everyone a chance to know each other better, so the most popular and well-liked individuals could be elected.

Actually, a little reminder isn't necessary; someone slightly sharper would realize that in the coming period, there would be actions taken to win people's hearts.

Currently, Yao Hui had her eye on three people: Luo Xi, Pei Wenzhe, and Su Zelin.

Especially the latter, she found him quite special.

She hoped this boy would have an outstanding performance!

As the class meeting ended, on the way back to the dormitory, Ding Linna and several girls from Room 502 chatted excitedly, and the topic naturally drifted to the slacker.

"Su Zelin is quite handsome, and he's the English top scorer. I wonder if he has a girlfriend!"

"Qi Ying, you just met him and already have a crush!"

"Hehe, who doesn't like a handsome guy? Besides, Su Zelin is not only good-looking but also quite interesting!"

"Right, with a boyfriend like him, college life would surely not be boring!"

"..."

Luo Xi remained silent. She had a slight change of heart about the slacker, but somehow something still felt off.
