What, Su Bai actually bought a car?

Normally, as a true homebody, I'd definitely skip an outing that's optional.

But then again.

It could count towards practical credits.

Plus, if we're going out to have fun, there's a chance to eat and drink with Brother Bai.

Who wouldn't go if there's a chance to freeload a meal?

It won't interfere with grinding my mobile game anyway, I'll just bring a couple of extra power banks.

And so, this travel group instantly expanded to five people.

The four from dorm building 7, room 510, plus Chen Yusheng.

Regarding who would be the captain of this group.

Xue Tao and Chu Mingzhe had quite a dispute.

Both felt they were the most suitable.

They debated from dinner in the cafeteria all the way back to the dorm.

Finally, at 8:30 PM, a clear winner emerged.

The reason for the outcome was quite coincidental.

Chu Mingzhe and Xue Tao were bragging in the social mixer group, saying their travel team already had five people, four guys plus Chen Yusheng, and they were recruiting a few more girls.

Then Chu Mingzhe specifically highlighted his experience traveling abroad multiple times since elementary school, having visited over a dozen countries, and he even posted many photos he'd taken.

To be honest, Chu Mingzhe's photography skills were pretty good.

Hu Ye really had some taste.

It actually attracted a few girls from the art academy to add him, wanting to discuss travel and photography.

After all, being able to travel abroad since childhood represented a wealthy family background, and knowing photography meant being fun-loving, which easily piqued some girls' interest.

Unfortunately, the quality of those girls wasn't great.

Chu Mingzhe scrolled through the photos in their social media feeds one by one, making a "old people, subway, phone" face.

"What happened to the promised art students? Why are they all like this? I thought broadcasting and hosting majors had requirements for looks, but I didn't expect... sigh!"

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Wang Haoran, bored, leaned over to take a look. "Aren't they all fine?"

"This is after makeup and editing. They're only barely passable. I don't dare to imagine what they look like in person without makeup."

"I see. I don't get it. All women in the third dimension look the same to me, I'm face-blind," Wang Haoran declared with his shut-in remarks. "Raiden Shogun is better."

Xue Tao also leaned over to watch for a bit, then suddenly called out, "Hu Ye, why did they all add you just to chat and not agree to join the travel team?"

"I don't know either, what's going on?" Chu Mingzhe was also baffled. He had chatted with several girls, but when it came to travel, they all politely declined, saying they had other plans.

"Brother Bai, what do you think?" Wang Haoran asked.

Su Bai thought for a moment and said lazily, "They probably think our group combination is too weird. Four guys plus Chen Yusheng. Chen Yusheng, being the cool, academic type, has a halo that naturally keeps others at a distance, making it hard for her to get close to other girls."

Everyone agreed with Su Bai's analysis, finding it reasonable.

Although Su Bai was usually low-key, he could be quite clear-sighted when it came to certain matters.

Xue Tao said unhappily, "Damn it, it must be because you're too awkward, Hu Ye. Let me!"

So it was Xue Tao's turn to boast in the group.

"Everyone, the biggest feature of our group is that we plan to self-drive. After all, for attractions around Jiangcheng, joining a tour isn't flexible, and hitchhiking isn't convenient. Self-driving is actually the most suitable... I'm not talented, but I own a Magotan 330 that's available for use anytime..."

It had to be said, although the local's boasting was a bit forced.

It actually had an effect.

A girl with a profile picture of a glutinous rice ball commented:

[Are we really going to have a car? That's great, we don't want to squeeze onto the subway. It'll be especially crowded during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. If it's a self-driving trip, that would be best.]

Xue Tao's spirits lifted, and he quickly sent a private message to add the girl.

After a brief exchange, he learned her name was Wan Xinyan, and she had an older sister named Wan Xinyue, who was in the same class.

The two were twin sisters, and it was quite rare that they both got into Jiangcheng University's broadcasting and hosting program.

The sisters were used to doing things together and were considering which team would be more comfortable to join for the outing. Just then, they saw Xue Tao bragging about his Magotan 330.

It was quite rare for guys in college to drive a car.

He did a quick search; it wasn't a luxury car, but it wasn't bad either.

Anyway, as a tool to use for the trip, it was definitely sufficient.

So Wan Xinyan accepted Xue Tao's friend request.

After a brief exchange.

She felt this guy was very enthusiastic, just didn't seem very smart.

Not smart was good; it made him easy to manipulate and use.

And so, the two parties hit it off immediately.

However, Wan Xinyan still thought of a problem:

[If we add us, that makes it four guys and three girls. We won't all fit in one car, right?]

Xue Tao had already anticipated this and replied:

[No big deal. I plan to rent another car. Some of our roommates can drive, so we can have them drive. Two cars for seven people is very easy.]

Wan Xinyan said with satisfaction: [That's good. Xue Tao, you've thought of everything so thoroughly. I feel like most guys aren't as mature as you.]

Flattered by the compliment from the girl, Xue Tao felt utterly elated. He grinned foolishly to himself, muttering, "Heh heh, you guys think, will these twins both fall for me?"

"Are you watching too much Liu Bei, man? Think they'll all fall for you? You think too highly of yourself," Chu Mingzhe poured cold water on him.

"In any case, our travel team is starting to take shape. It's fine with just these seven people. If we could add one or two more girls, that would be okay too. Anyway, two cars can fit ten people."

Watching Xue Tao show off.

Chu Mingzhe felt so annoyed.

Why did all the glory go to that old guy?

Could it be that he, Chu Mingzhe, despite being young, having traveled to seventeen countries, being worldly-wise, and mastering photography, couldn't attract girls?

Forget it, it didn't matter.

Chu Mingzhe had another important mission.

「Invite Jiang Qiuran to join the team」

Honestly, he felt very uncertain.

After all, he had no prior interaction with Jiang Qiuran.

She was fawned over by a bunch of rich guys daily, practically the most popular person in the Goddess Dormitory.

However, precisely because this mission was difficult, Chu Mingzhe wanted to find a way to complete it.

By doing so, he could definitely overshadow the locals.

Little brat, let's see how formidable Hu Ye is!

Just as Chu Mingzhe's ambitions were about to ignite.

Su Bai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Sheng Sheng just told me that Jiang Qiuran proactively asked her if she could hang out with us during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Should I accept on behalf of everyone?"

"What? No way, man... how did she proactively want to join??" Chu Mingzhe's face turned red with frustration.

"Oh, so should I refuse?" Su Bai asked, glancing sideways.

Xue Tao quickly said, "Refuse what? Come on, welcome, welcome!"

After saying that, he gave Su Bai a strange look.

Although he didn't know why Jiang Qiuran wanted to join proactively, since she was coming, it was a good thing. Xue Tao definitely welcomed it, after all, Jiang Qiuran was the perfect campus belle in his eyes!
