"Senior sister, can you reveal if your boyfriend is also a university student? Is he from our school? Or another one?" Liu Yuanyuan asked curiously.
Zhou Jialu had already considered how to answer her best friend's question.
Judging by Su Bai's style, he clearly preferred to keep a low profile.
If he wanted to, he could easily dress himself up in a way that exuded wealth, the kind that even someone unfamiliar with luxury brands would immediately recognize as expensive.
But he didn't. Instead, like most university students, he wore cheap fast-fashion brands like Uniqlo and H&M, or items from Taobao.
Therefore, Zhou Jialu decided not to introduce Su Bai to people at school for the time being.
There was a bit of a hidden agenda in this.
After all, Su Bai was too outstanding. It was better to keep him hidden, lest other girls develop improper intentions towards him.
"Sorry, Yuanyuan. My boyfriend is quite low-key and doesn't flaunt his wealth. I'd rather not disclose his specific situation. I can only tell you... hmm, the school he attends isn't that great, but he has a really good personality, and we get along really well."
"Oh, I see. It's okay, it's understandable." Liu Yuanyuan giggled foolishly. "If I had a super outstanding boyfriend, I'd probably keep him hidden too, not wanting my friends to meet him."
"Mmm... Oh dear, you should eat a few bites first. The food is getting cold."
"Ah! Really, I got so engrossed talking to you, Senior Sister, that I forgot to eat!"
At this moment, Liu Yuanyuan suddenly felt hungry and didn't press further, quickly starting to eat.
Zhou Jialu even took out that popular little snack to share.
While eating, Liu Yuanyuan didn't forget to take a picture of her ridiculously expensive bag and send it to her boyfriend, Xue Tao.
[The senior sister in the dorm is in love. Her boyfriend gave her such a beautiful bag. Sigh, when will I be able to use a bag of this caliber?]
Although Zhou Jialu said she wouldn't introduce her boyfriend to them, her intention was to actively signal that she was already taken.
Therefore, Liu Yuanyuan telling her boyfriend this was completely in line with her senior sister's wishes.
At this very moment, in male dormitory building 7, room 510.
Chu Mingzhe connected his phone to his computer and tinkered with it.
"Dude, the class is over, why are you still so diligent? What are you coding?" Xue Tao couldn't help but ask. Damn it, it's only the beginning of freshman year, are we already going to have a try-hard in the dorm?
Chu Mingzhe smiled slightly. "I made a small plugin to remind me to pay attention to Chen Yusheng."
"...Aren't you paying attention to your goddess every moment? Do you still need a reminder?"
"If someone mentions Chen Yusheng in a group chat or private message I'm in, or if there's related content on Moments, the plugin will trigger a special alert sound." Chu Mingzhe said seriously. "Timeliness of information is very important. Sometimes, finding the right entry point can seize that fleeting opportunity and win the goddess's heart."
He's trying to shield himself from the wind and sand!
Xue Tao rolled his eyes.
Hu Ye is too perverted. Other simps are just a little more severely ill, but Chu Mingzhe is subtly starting to resemble a performance artist.
He scoffed, "What fleeting opportunity? It's all nonsense. If you ask me, picking up girls in college is very simple. As long as you're willing to spend money and provide some convenience, like having a car."
"Taking a girl out in a car is so convenient. It instantly sets you apart from other suitors."
"Take me, for example. I drive a Magotan, a joint-venture B-class car. It's spacious and comfortable..."
Wang Haoran, who was diligently playing Yuanshen at his desk, twitched his shoulder.
He was holding back laughter.
When Xue Tao started talking extensively about his dating tips, Wang Haoran had already predicted his smooth follow-up routine.
Within three sentences, he would inevitably transition to his beloved Magotan.
The fact was, Wang Haoran had a good grasp of his two roommates' personalities.
Besides being "local," another obvious label for Xue Tao was "Magotan."
He loved to show off. Sometimes, he would even drive his beloved car from the dorm to the other side of campus for ideological education activities.
Therefore, in addition to the nickname "local," students sometimes called him "Brother Magotan."
But then again, for a college student to drive a car worth nearly 200,000 yuan is indeed quite good.
After all, car usage, maintenance, and parking fees in the city are all significant expenses.
An ordinary family really couldn't afford it.
This car did give Xue Tao an advantage.
Right after military training ended, girls from other majors had already asked people to inquire about Xue Tao.
It could only be said that Xue Tao's flamboyant style did have an audience.
A lock needs a plug, a toad needs a green bean.
It's not surprising.
Wang Haoran remembered that Su Bai had said he was going to pick up a car later.
He wondered what class it would be.
But given Su Bai's current level of wealth, it would definitely be better than a Magotan.
As Xue Tao was talking non-stop, his girlfriend Liu Yuanyuan sent him a message.
This made Xue Tao frown, his expression shifting.
"Hey local, why'd you stop? Keep going," Wang Haoran asked, as he hadn't heard enough of the gossip.
"Holy crap, holy crap! Do you guys remember that senior from my girlfriend's dorm?"
"Yeah, Zhou Jialu, one of the three goddesses. She should be a senior this year, known as the sexiest campus belle in Jiangcheng University's history." Chu Mingzhe knew everything about the Goddess Dormitory, "What about her?"
"Senior Zhou is dating someone."
Oh wow!
At this, Chu Mingzhe and Wang Haoran were both a little surprised.
It was said that the senior had very high standards. She had been at Jiangcheng University for three years, with countless admirers, but hadn't gotten into a relationship. Now, she suddenly had a boyfriend out of nowhere.
There hadn't been any rumors before.
"Probably dating someone really rich. Senior Zhou came back with an LV bag today."
"Isn't that brand really expensive?" Wang Haoran said. Even though he knew nothing about luxury brands, he had heard of LV's fame.
"It's expensive. Basic models cost thousands or tens of thousands, and anything with a unique design goes for tens of thousands."
After Xue Tao finished, he sighed.
Liu Yuanyuan sending him this meant something obvious, didn't it!
She wanted one too.
As for a basic LV model, Xue Tao could find an excuse to ask his parents for extra pocket money; it wasn't like he couldn't afford it.
The problem was, did Liu Yuanyuan deserve it?
He had spent so much money on her already, confessing his feelings and taking her out, plus the Japanese meal planned for this weekend.
And now she wanted a bag?
Xue Tao was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to get angry at Liu Yuanyuan. After all, she was a girlfriend he had worked hard to win over. Although she was far from the level of the three goddesses in her dorm, she was still a beauty, which made Xue Tao hold his head high in front of his classmates.
He could only send her a message to appease her.
[Haha, really? That bag is quite pretty.]
[Right, right? This one is a collaboration with the famous designer Takashi Murakami, and it uses...]
Liu Yuanyuan went on to talk about design language, artistic colors, and so on.
Xue Tao didn't understand a word. After Liu Yuanyuan finished, he sent a message:
[It's very nice, but LV is indeed too luxurious for students. I think Miniso is also pretty good, actually.]
[Yuanyuan: ???]
[Yuanyuan: A cheap bag from Miniso is only used by junior high school girls whose pocket money is less than fifty yuan. How can you not understand anything? I'm so annoyed, sigh, I really can't expect a straight man to have even a shred of aesthetic sense!]
[Yuanyuan: I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to self-study.]
Xue Tao was stunned for a moment, then felt both angry and wronged.
What the hell, is this about aesthetics?
It's about money, it's about money!
Senior Zhou was outstanding even compared to internet celebrities and had even been scouted by talent agents. She looked like a good match for LV.
Who does Liu Yuanyuan think she is? Why doesn't she take a look at herself in the mirror?
Sigh
