The girls' dormitory was bustling at dusk, filled with lovey-dovey couples. Each pair had claimed a patch of territory—some behind the greenery, some inside the bike shed. They kept out of each other's way, as if they had arranged it beforehand.
Jiang Qin watched Feng Nanshu go upstairs, then squatted by the roadside, studying the couple in front of him with interest.
The two went from chatting to kissing, then to groping around. In just a few minutes, they were busier than could be believed.
But Jiang Qin's gaze was soon noticed. The boy put his arm around the girl and switched sides, turning his backside toward Jiang Qin. He even reached down and tugged at the pants wedged between his buttocks.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin couldn't help spitting. "Damn college students. All you know how to do is keep the good stuff to yourselves."
Just then, a short-haired girl came running downstairs and walked straight toward him without a word.
Jiang Qin vaguely recognized her. She was the first person to spot him at the back door of the classroom that day.
"You're Feng Nanshu's boyfriend, right? My name is Gao Wenhui."
"My name is Jiang Qin, a pretty boy hoping to be kept by a Little Rich Woman."
Gao Wenhui didn't hear the last part clearly and continued on her own. "Getting you to treat us isn't easy. The flowers in our dorm are practically withering."
Jiang Qin stood up and dusted off his trouser legs. "I've been too busy lately, so I put it off for a few days. Today, eat whatever you like. Don't hold back."
"Is the beginning of the semester really that busy? You probably don't know this, but your Feng Nanshu thinks about you every day in the dorm."
"Thinks about me?"
Jiang Qin didn't believe it at all. That naturally clueless girl probably didn't even understand what missing someone meant. "You're so young, yet you already like telling lies. Don't lead Feng Nanshu astray in the future."
Gao Wenhui raised her eyebrows. "I'm telling the truth."
"Nonsense. Did she whisper it into your ear?"
"Whenever we chat, she always says, 'Jiang Qin took me to a hot spring. Jiang Qin took me to a bar. Jiang Qin read books with me.' But no matter how many times she repeats herself, it's always those same few places. There's never anything new. We can all tell that she's really waiting for you to take her out and have fun!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Qin was somewhat surprised. Lies couldn't be made that roundabout.
"Of course. I've never seen a boyfriend like you. It's been a week since school started, and you haven't come to see her even once. She doesn't dare look for you either. That's really too much."
"Wait a second. Why doesn't she dare look for me?"
Gao Wenhui thought about it, then shook her head. "I don't know either. Whenever I ask, she won't say. Come to think of it, I'm actually surprised. She's not aloof—she's just socially anxious!"
Jiang Qin was still pondering the previous question. Hearing this, he answered instinctively, "That's right. She never made any friends in high school, so don't bully her."
"Who bullied her? We go to class together and eat together." Gao Wenhui defended herself.
"You only eat and attend class together? Haven't you taken her out to have fun?"
Gao Wenhui immediately shook her head, then hurriedly added, "It's not that we don't take her. She just won't go herself. The night before last, we agreed to go to Wanxing City to watch Twilight, but she wouldn't go. She even said you would definitely take her."
Jiang Qin looked up at her. "You must be making that up, right?"
"If I'm lying, may I be turned into a puppy. I still have the movie ticket stub!"
Jiang Qin froze for a moment, as if he could see the pitiful Little Rich Woman sitting alone in the dim dormitory, waving goodbye to her roommates as they went to the movies and murmuring, "Jiang Qin will take me next time."
He reached up and wiped the corner of his mouth, his expression somewhat dazed.
His rebirth had actually caused many changes to the original timeline, and Feng Nanshu was one of the people affected the most.
The old Feng Nanshu had no friends. She had also applied to Capital University rather than Linchuan University. Without Jiang Qin, she would never have come here or met these people. Her life might have been completely different.
But why had she come to Linchuan University? The answer was obvious. Feng Nanshu had come here following Jiang Qin.
Because he was her only friend, taking her to hot springs, riding the Shaking Car, eating junk food, and visiting bars, she had even learned what loneliness was. No wonder she was so attached to him.
But perhaps his desire to make money had been too strong. Recently, aside from military training, his mind had been filled with nothing but building a website. He really hadn't taken Feng Nanshu out to have fun again.
Why hadn't he thought of taking her out?
Jiang Qin thought carefully and realized that he had assumed Feng Nanshu already had close girlfriends. Naturally, she had friends to have fun with, so he hadn't paid much attention.
But now, it seemed things weren't quite the way he had imagined.
Jiang Qin took out his phone and checked his contacts and QQ. Apart from the day school started, he really hadn't taken the initiative to contact Feng Nanshu.
"Jiang Qin, why did you space out?"
"Nothing. I just looked at my phone and got stunned by how handsome I looked in the reflection. What about the others? Why haven't they come down yet?" Jiang Qin asked after coming back to himself.
Gao Wenhui tilted her head toward the fifth floor. "The water room stops providing hot water at ten. They may have gone to store some water beforehand because they were afraid they wouldn't make it back in time."
As soon as she finished speaking, a series of tapping footsteps came from the stairwell. Feng Nanshu was at the front, her long hair flowing behind her, her adorable breasts swaying gently with each step down.
Her other four roommates followed one after another: the Dorm Leader, Fan Shuling; Yang Min, with her southern accent; chubby Cai Fang; and Wang Hainei, a petite southern girl.
After briefly introducing themselves, Jiang Qin gradually gained an understanding of their relationships.
Gao Wenhui and Feng Nanshu were probably the closest, with Fan Shuling next. Yang Min and Cai Fang got along well, while Wang Hainei was the independent type who went out socializing every day.
"Jiang Qin, we've decided to give you a good beating today—don't feel sorry for yourself!" Gao Wenhui said, linking arms with Feng Nanshu.
Jiang Qin didn't care at all. "I may lack other things, but I definitely have money. Forget dinner—even rockets are on me."
Feng Nanshu looked at him quietly. "Jiang Qin, I want to eat a rocket."
"..."
"It's so hot in midsummer. Why would you eat a rocket? Let's have hotpot instead."
"Hotpot is hot too. Let's eat something cool. I want seafood."
"There isn't any seafood near the school. Let's just eat the most expensive simple meal available."
The girls chattered away, calling out dishes as they headed off campus.
When they reached the school gate, Gao Wenhui suddenly remembered something. "Nan Shu, was the water in the water room hot? Can you wash your hair later?"
"I didn't go get water." Feng Nanshu looked blankly confused.
"Didn't get water? Then what took you so long upstairs?"
"Shuling and the others went to get water. I was washing my feet."
Gao Wenhui was stunned. "We still have to walk back after dinner. Won't washing your feet now be pointless?"
Feng Nanshu slightly wrinkled her delicate nose. "It was useful."
"?????"
At that moment, Gao Wenhui's mind took three hundred and sixty turns. She racked her brains, yet still couldn't understand the plain four-word answer.
I set the schedule wrong again, so I posted two chapters together. Please follow the novel!!!
