A Never-Before-Experienced Feeling

A Never-Before-Experienced Feeling

Restaurants near the university couldn't possibly be too high-end. After all, every business had to consider college students' spending power first when opening up. After looking around, the seven of them still chose Nanshan Restaurant, which had the best business.

Jiang Qin led the six girls into a private room and told them to order whatever they wanted before going out to use the restroom.

After coming out, Jiang Qin suddenly received a friend request. The other party's first message was: "Hello, Boss. My name is Shi Miaomiao."

It took Jiang Qin a long while to remember that she was probably the girl who had been bullied by Yao Yanling into quitting the Literary Society.

Shi Miaomiao said Dong Wenhao had already told her about everything. She was willing to serialize You Are the Color of Fireworks on the website and asked when she could start.

Jiang Qin thought about it, then directly sent her Su Nai's QQ account and told Shi Miaomiao to ask Su Nai for an internal account. She could start updating that very night.

When he returned to the private room, Feng Nanshu's roommates had already finished ordering the dishes.

A group of seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girls had ordered a whole tableful of meat dishes. Jiang Qin clicked his tongue repeatedly, thinking, The year 2008 really was great. Girls actually weren't worried about their figures.

"Nan Shu, look at Jiang Qin. His eyes have gone straight. Is he worried about the money?" Gao Wenhui jokingly nudged Feng Nanshu's arm.

Feng Nanshu patted her chest. "It's fine. I have money."

Jiang Qin sat down boldly beside Feng Nanshu. "Even if you have money, there's no need to use yours. Gao Wenhui, eat to your heart's content today. Even if you eat until you turn into a pig, I won't even blink."

"Really?" Gao Wenhui froze after saying that. "Wait, did you just say I'm a pig?"

"Take out the words 'did you just.' You're a college student now. Have some confidence!"

"Feng Nanshu, look at your boyfriend!" Gao Wenhui's face instantly flushed red.

Feng Nanshu fell silent for a moment. "Jiang Qin, maybe you should put 'did you just' back in?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire private room burst into laughter.

Cai Fang said that this was a perfect example of the wife following the husband, and that Gao Wenhui really had no sense. She had even wanted to complain to Feng Nanshu—what a joke.

Hearing the laughter from the private room, Jiang Qin couldn't help turning to glance at Feng Nanshu. Under the orange-yellow light, the Little Rich Woman's skin was fair and flawless, her features exquisite and delicate, her lips pink and moist, and her nose straight and perky. She was so beautiful that it was as if she had a built-in beauty filter.

He was actually quite curious. How had this misunderstanding about being her boyfriend come about?

Was it because he and Feng Nanshu had made faces at each other by the back door of Financial Class 4 last time? The Little Rich Woman probably wouldn't explain it, or perhaps she had mixed up the meanings of boyfriend and male friend.

Jiang Qin thought it over and decided not to explain either. With Feng Nanshu looking so pretty, she would definitely encounter plenty of harassment during her four years at university. He could just act as a shield for her. Besides, he had no intention of dating anyone.

However, being a shield wasn't exactly easy. Asking for a little benefit in return shouldn't be too much, right? "Jiang Qin, I want some lotus root."

Feng Nanshu was wearing plastic gloves and peeling Little Lobster, so she couldn't spare her hands. Thus, she called out in a clear voice.

Jiang Qin reached out and picked up the chopsticks, then took a slice of lotus root from the plate soaked in vinegar and fed it into her mouth.

The Little Rich Woman crunched away happily, finishing a slice of chilled lotus root in just two or three bites.

At the sight of this, the whole private room filled with a chorus of teasing noises. Everyone looked at the two of them with ambiguous, playful expressions.

"Jiang Qin, I want some lotus root too~"

Gao Wenhui wanted revenge for what had happened earlier, so she shamelessly imitated Feng Nanshu's voice to tease the two of them.

But Jiang Qin took a new pair of chopsticks and actually fed her some. "My Little Rich Woman is rather socially anxious. She'll need your care over the next four years, Sister Gao, so consider this my advance thanks."

Gao Wenhui had only been joking, but now she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Especially with him calling her Sister Gao—it had flattered her so much that she could hardly come back down to earth. After hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth.

In an instant, a spicy flavor traveled from her mouth into her nose.

Gao Wenhui burst into tears.

"Ptooey! It's ginger! You bastard, Jiang Qin! You fed me ginger!"

"Damn, sorry! I was wondering why the lotus root tasted so strange. It being yellow was one thing, but it didn't even have any holes!"

Gao Wenhui grabbed the water in front of her and took a huge gulp. Once the ginger flavor had faded, she immediately stood up with her hands on her hips and declared that she would duel Jiang Qin. She only let the matter go after Jiang Qin called her "Sister Gao" three times.

After the farce ended, Jiang Qin placed his chopsticks on the plate in front of him, only to discover that more than half a plate of peeled lobster tails had appeared there.

He paused slightly and looked at Feng Nanshu.

The Little Rich Woman was still peeling shrimp shells. Her little mouth was red from the spice, making her exceptionally adorable.

"..."

Jiang Qin was silent for a long while before picking up a lobster tail and placing it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly.

The taste was fine, but a tingling sensation spread through his heart and the upper part of his spine.

He had never experienced this before. Whether before or after his rebirth, this was a feeling he had never once felt.

After a while, the gathering was nearing its end. The six girls had all eaten and drunk their fill, so they put down their chopsticks and began chatting.

Jiang Qin took the opportunity to show them his website and asked them to try it when they had time and give him some feedback, so they could see what needed improving.

His website already had a basic framework and content. The only thing it lacked was genuine user experience. As the owner, his perspective and instincts were restricted by profit, so his evaluations couldn't be completely accurate. Only actual users could tell whether a website was good or bad.

"Is this website a forum for college students?"

"More or less. The original forum focused more on academics, while this one leans more toward entertainment."

After Jiang Qin finished speaking, his brows suddenly furrowed. He noticed that Fan Shuling was staring at him coldly from across the table. "Student Fan? What's wrong? Didn't you get enough to eat?"

"No, I ate quite well."

Fan Shuling restrained her expression and lifted her teacup to take a sip.

Jiang Qin couldn't figure it out. This was his first time meeting Feng Nanshu's roommate, and they had never even known each other before. Why did she dislike him just because he had treated them to a meal? But he didn't know that Fan Shuling, the big sister of Dorm 503, had gone to South Street for lunch that day.

She had personally witnessed the famous scene of four girls surrounding Jiang Qin.

But she hadn't known Jiang Qin at the time, so she hadn't paid much attention.

It wasn't until they were eating that her mind suddenly seemed to be struck by electricity, instantly overlapping the figure from South Street with the person in front of her.

Wasn't this the scumbag who had ruined an entire dormitory?

How could someone like this date the innocent Feng Nanshu? Could he be taking advantage of the fact that Feng Nanshu was easy to deceive?

With that mindset, Fan Shuling's impression of Jiang Qin plummeted to rock bottom.

But she hadn't decided whether she should tell them about it, nor had she figured out how she should bring it up.
