The University Town Pedestrian Street has a large flow of people, ninety percent of whom are freshmen, who are willing to cross the road to eat things because of their novelty.

Older students won't, they have become increasingly rough in their day-to-day college life, not to mention the snack street outside the school, sometimes they find it too troublesome to go downstairs to buy a meal.

Of course, those with partners are an exception.

People with partners have to run outside even if their legs are broken.

Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu to a roadside stall and ordered Stir-fried Eggs with Tomatoes, Twice Cooked Pork, Fish with Pickled Cabbage, and Hot and Sour Shredded Potatoes.

When going out, what to order is always an eternal problem. You're afraid of failure if you haven't eaten it before, and you're afraid it's not worth it if it's too fancy, so Jiang Qin always orders these four dishes, and has hardly ever failed. This is the experience he gained from eating takeout when he was a corporate slave in his previous life.

While waiting for the dishes, passers-by couldn't help but stop beside them, and then look at the well-behaved Feng Nanshu, their eyes flashing with amazement.

Some people were so amazed that they couldn't recover for a long time, and they bumped into someone's stall in a daze.

Jiang Qin clicked his tongue, looking displeased.

Serves you right, wanting to hit on my sugar mommy, why don't you just walk into the boss's wok.

He withdrew his gaze, stacked the two sets of tableware together, rinsed them with boiling water, and then focused his attention on Feng Nanshu.

"You said you were eavesdropping on your roommates chatting outside the dormitory just now, what did they say?"

"Too aloof, hard to get close to, don't want to live with a young miss, things like that."

Feng Nanshu wiped the corner of her mouth, her eyes constantly looking at the wok in the hands of the roadside stall owner.

Jiang Qin nodded after listening, and probably understood the mentality of those five girls.

The little sugar mommy is too beautiful, she has her own halo, and she used bodyguards to clear the way, such an awesome way of appearing. Although cleaning is seemingly a kind gesture, it actually creates a sense of oppression for the entire dormitory.

And this young miss, who is regarded as the female version of Long Aotian by her roommates...

She is staring unblinkingly at the big black wok, drooling, completely unaware of how explosive her actions were.

In fact, it is very simple to solve this matter perfectly, because those girls are afraid of her, not hate her, as long as she shows a little kindness, it should be fine.

However, Feng Nanshu is indeed naturally dull, and often doesn't get to the point when she speaks. It's not reliable to let her express kindness to her roommates in words, so we still have to find another way.

"Jiang Qin, I want to eat that!"

Jiang Qin turned his head in the direction of her finger and saw a small cart selling Rainbow Cotton Candy next to him: "No, you don't want to eat it."

Feng Nanshu swallowed: "Can I buy it myself?"

"That thing is all food coloring, your tongue will change color after eating it, be good, don't eat it."

"I'll buy one for you too, what color do you like? I like pink, how about you have blue?"

Jiang Qin couldn't hold back a bit: "Can you not bribe me with such childish things? No cadre can withstand such a bribe, I said no means no."

Feng Nanshu quickly returned to her aloof state: "Childish? Heh, you've even ridden a rocking car."

"?????"

Jiang Qin opened his eyes wide in disbelief, thinking that you can't learn how to make friends, but you're quick to file a complaint first. If it wasn't to accompany you, would a macho man like me go to ride a rocking car? "Jiang Qin, is there a rocking car nearby?"

"Don't even think about it."

Jiang Qin imagined the scene of the two of them playing on a rocking car at a crowded intersection, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

While they were talking, the boss had already made the dishes, and deftly brought them to their table.

Feng Nanshu was happy to see that there was something to eat, and stopped making excessive demands.

After eating dinner, Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu to a supermarket, swept some snacks off the shelves, and divided them into five bags.

"No, no, I can't eat that much."

"I didn't buy it for you."

Feng Nanshu was stunned when she heard the words, and her face instantly collapsed.

Jiang Qin didn't see the change in her expression, and continued to put sweets into the bag.

"You're not good at talking, so you don't need to say much in the future, just smile more in the dormitory."

"Your roommates don't dislike you, they just think you're a bit out of reach, and they feel pressured, so you need to take the initiative to show some goodwill."

"It's said that people are reluctant to speak ill of those who feed them, and they're lenient towards those who give them gifts. If you give them these snacks, they'll know you're easy to get along with."

Jiang Qin pulled her to the checkout counter, and when they walked out of the supermarket, he suddenly remembered Guo Zihang's words: "Damn, I really look like your dad now."

Feng Nanshu was a little flustered: "No, I already have a dad. I just want to be friends with you."

"It's just a metaphor!"

"Oh... you scared me to death."

By the time they returned to school from University Town Pedestrian Street, it was already night. The entire campus was filled with the scent of hormones, and there were bound to be couples in every dark corner.

Jiang Qin walked ahead carrying the snack bags, while Feng Nanshu followed behind in her small leather shoes. The two of them strolled along in the moonlight, with a gentle breeze and willows on the left, and shimmering waves on the right.

As they walked, Jiang Qin suddenly stopped. The little rich woman, unable to brake in time, crashed into his back, a soft, warm, and bouncy sensation.

Jiang Qin smirked, thinking that someone as naturally innocent as Feng Nanshu would never realize his true intentions.

So, he repeated this flirtatious maneuver seven or eight times along the way, only stopping when they reached the girls' dormitory building.

"Here's your stuff. Remember to share it when you get back," Jiang Qin said, acting like a virtuous gentleman.

"Okay." Feng Nanshu took the bags. "Can I sneak a little?"

"No."

"Oh."

Jiang Qin put on a serious expression and said, word by word: "I'm serious. If you sneak a bite of something and it causes everyone else to have it except for one person, the consequences could be troublesome."

After a moment of silence, Feng Nanshu seemed to understand: "Then can I pick one thing and eat five in a row?"

"You... you really are a clever little devil."

Jiang Qin couldn't tell if he was praising or teasing her. He waved goodbye to the little rich woman and then walked along the moonlight all the way out of the girls' dormitory area.

After watching him leave, Feng Nanshu lowered her head and looked at her chest, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her expression thoughtful.

What's so good about these things? It's not enough to just look, you have to find ways to touch them.

The little rich woman was silent for a long time, then carried the five large bags of snacks upstairs. The girls in 503 were chatting happily, but when she pushed the door open, the voices stopped abruptly, and everyone looked over, their eyes flashing with nervousness and anticipation.

Feng Nanshu took a deep breath, walked in, and placed the bags of snacks one by one on their desks, then bit her lip without saying a word.

After a while, Fan Shuling suddenly coughed and winked at the four people next to her.

"Um, Feng Nanshu, we're going to register at eight o'clock tomorrow, do you want to go together?"

"Yeah, let's go together. If we're free in the afternoon, should we have dinner together?"

Feng Nanshu smiled and nodded happily. The five roommates immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled her to sit in the middle.

The atmosphere in the dormitory became lively, and silver bell-like laughter rang out constantly, but Feng Nanshu was still not good at conversation and just listened quietly.

Jiang Qin was probably worried about her current situation, and soon sent her a QQ message asking if she had given the things away.

Feng Nanshu replied with an "mm" and then looked out the dark window.

She felt a faint, indescribable palpitation in her heart, similar to the loneliness she felt last time, but somehow different.
