Even so, Shen Qiao's god-tier looks still drew countless girls' attention. One girl walked over with a blush on her face and asked shyly, "Classmate, can I get your Green Bubble?"
"Sorry, I have a girlfriend."
Shen Qiao turned her down with a smile. He was clearly already used to this sort of thing.
The girl left regretfully.
"My god."
Wang Dachui said enviously, "Why don't girls ever come ask me for my WeChat?"
"You want girls to ask for your WeChat?"
"Then work out. Once you have perfect muscles, girls liking you is inevitable."
That was Li Haoyang speaking.
"By the way, Brother Shen Qiao, do you really have a girlfriend?"
Wang Dachui looked around sneakily with a lecherous expression, yet still remembered to ask Shen Qiao.
"I have a girlfriend."
Shen Qiao stated it plainly.
His tone was firm, without the slightest hint of a joke.
Luo Ye silently glanced at him and said nothing.
After dinner, the group slipped into casual conversation.
"Do you know about Jiang University's beauty rankings?"
Wang Dachui tried to start a discussion, but it was obvious that the other three seemed completely uninterested in women.
"I don't," Luo Ye innocently replied.
Wang Dachui's eyes immediately lit up. "Kid, you're quite sensible."
"Every college at Jiang University has its own campus belle. For example, the Economics and Management campus belle is a third-year senior named Qin Yuwen. She ranks fourth on Jiang University's beauty list."
Qin Chinese?
Luo Ye asked doubtfully, "Why is she called Chinese? Why not Math? Isn't that name a little careless?"
"It's just a homophone. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Wang Dachui rolled his eyes at him.
"There are pictures of Senior Qin on Jiang University's forum. She really is gorgeous."
Wang Dachui took out his phone and pulled up Qin Yuwen's photos.
The first thing they saw was a set of campus portraits. The girl was indeed pure and adorable, enough to draw even the attention of muscle man Li Haoyang.
The photos flipped to the last one, which showed Qin Yuwen walking through the school after being secretly photographed.
However, another girl had unexpectedly been caught in the picture.
Only the girl's profile was visible, but her stunning features could still be vaguely made out. She was tall, and even the Formal Wear uniform she wore could not hide her curvy figure. She was no worse than Qin Yuwen beside her—if anything, she was even more impressive.
That seemed to be the senior from yesterday.
Look, Luo Ye's eyes had gone completely wide. Wang Dachui pulled back his phone and stared at him like a puppy guarding its food. "Brother Luo Ye, let's make this clear first. Qin, the great campus belle, is mine. Don't get any ideas."
"Tch, as if you deserve her."
"What did you say?"
"Brother Dachui, you two are a perfect match. A top-tier match."
Luo Ye said it insincerely, but he still asked curiously, "Who's the girl beside Qin in the last photo?"
At that—
Wang Dachui gave Luo Ye a look of utter disdain.
"That one is Jiang University's current celebrity. Her name is Su Baizhou, but I'd advise you not to ask too much about her."
"She's a Talented Woman in the Computer Science major. Just the countless candid photos of her are enough to earn her the title of Jiang University Campus Belle. Even Qin Yuwen would be reduced to a mere foil standing next to her."
"She's won plenty of awards too, and she led the Computer Science Department to its current glory. Not only did she naturally become the president of the Jiang University Student Union, she also earned a Recommendation for Graduate Studies."
"I heard she's unbelievably cold and aloof. Countless brave souls have confessed to her, but not a single one has even managed to get close."
"So forget it. A heaven-favored girl like that is simply out of our league."
Shen Qiao and Li Haoyang both looked surprised upon hearing that.
"That senior is amazing."
"She really is outstanding."
Luo Ye fell into thought.
The senior he had met that day was actually that exceptional.
But she didn't have a boyfriend...
That sentence kept echoing in Luo Ye's mind.
"Among the freshmen, there's also a great beauty. They say she's the New Student Campus Belle, Tang Enqi. She may not measure up to Su Baizhou, but she's only a tiny bit behind."
As Wang Dachui spoke, he noticed Luo Ye's expression darken. He immediately comforted him, "Wild Child, don't lose heart. Once I conquer these goddesses one by one, I'll give you one."
"Get lost," Luo Ye said helplessly.
After dinner, they wandered around the campus and track field before returning to the dorm.
That evening, after collecting their Military Training uniforms, they arrived at the classroom and sat side by side.
Computer Science Department, Computer Network Class 1.
All four of them were in this major.
A young man walked up to the podium.
"Hello, students. I'm Chen Xiongjian, your Counselor for the next four years."
"I know this is everyone's first time attending university. Coincidentally, it's also my first time being a Counselor. You're the first class of students I've ever led."
"I've just graduated as a Graduate student myself. I'm not particularly accomplished, but I've managed to become your Counselor. Over the next four years, we'll learn together."
"Today, we'll mainly introduce ourselves to one another. Starting tomorrow, you'll begin half a month of Military Training. If anyone cannot participate due to health issues, let me know later so I can make a record."
"Also, after Military Training ends, we'll elect the class committee. But for now, we need to temporarily choose an acting Class Monitor. Is anyone willing to volunteer?"
The students began discussing among themselves.
"You go."
Luo Ye widened his eyes and stared at Wang Dachui in disbelief.
"You want me to be the acting Class Monitor?"
"Brother Dachui, I never expected that despite your impressive appearance, you'd secretly be this kind of person."
Half a minute passed, yet no one in the class was willing to raise their hand.
After all, becoming the acting Class Monitor did not guarantee becoming the actual Class Monitor later. They would also have to handle all kinds of tedious matters during Military Training. It was thankless work, so naturally no one wanted the position.
Chen Xiongjian swept his gaze over the room. Who knew what came over him, but his eyes landed immediately on Li Haoyang, who had developed muscles, slightly dark skin, and a buzz cut.
"The first student on the left in the fourth row, you're a veteran, right?"
Li Haoyang, who had been called out, looked completely confused. He stood up as the entire class's attention followed him.
Ah! A muscle man!
"I'm not."
"Oh, you're so sturdy that I thought you were a veteran."
"Then, if there are no objections, you'll be the acting Class Monitor."
After saying that, Chen Xiongjian gave Li Haoyang no chance to react.
"Everyone has gotten a good look at this student. During Military Training, you can report any large or small issues to him first. If he can't solve them, then you can come to me."
"Oh, right. What's your name, student?"
"Teacher, his name is Li Haoyang!"
Wang Dachui shouted with incredible enthusiasm, looking like he was willing to take a bullet for his brother.
"Everyone, scan the QR code for the class group. If there's nothing else, you may leave. Li Haoyang, make a list in the class group of students who cannot participate in Military Training."
"Fine."
Li Haoyang was utterly helpless. He had not even been given time to refuse.
Of course, he also did not dare refuse the Counselor in front of the entire class.
All he could say was that the Counselor had played that move brilliantly.
"Going back to the dorm?"
"Back my ass. Let's go to the track field and check out girls."
Under Wang Dachui's encouragement, the group headed to the track field.
Shen Qiao had refused at first.
His movie-star-like appearance attracted far too much attention.
The instant he appeared at the track field, he caught the eyes of every girl there.
Wave after wave of girls came over to ask for his contact information.
"This... is a little exaggerated, isn't it?"
After walking around the track field twice, with Shen Qiao having turned down more than a dozen girls asking for his contact information, Wang Dachui finally could not take it anymore.
"Can't the girls at the track field see handsome and dashing Brother Dachui?"
The other three were speechless.
"Our fresh-faced young Luo Ye and our fitness coach haven't even said anything yet. Where did you get the confidence to call yourself handsome and dashing?"
Shen Qiao retorted without mercy.
Upon hearing that, Wang Dachui immediately turned around to fight back. But when he faced Shen Qiao's overwhelmingly handsome face, he gradually became entranced.
"Fuck, what kind of look is that? Get away from me."
Shen Qiao shuddered in disgust.
"I was just joking. You don't seriously think I like men, do you?"
Wang Dachui's smile was incomparably sly.
Girls' dormitory.
Qin Yuwen was wearing a facial mask and scrolling through her phone.
Suddenly, she saw a photo of a boy posted on the Jiang University Confession Wall, accompanied by the caption:
The boy I ran into at the third cafeteria this afternoon was way too handsome, wasn't he?
Qin Yuwen looked closely. She double-tapped to enlarge the handsome young man's photo, studying it again and again before her eyes lit up.
"A flawless heartthrob from every angle."
The person in the photo was naturally their movie-star-like classmate, Shen Qiao.
"Zhouzhou, come look! Since when did our school have a handsome guy like this?"
The girl beside her wore a spaghetti-strap nightgown and oversized black glasses. She was reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Her face was cold and aloof, her figure that of a mature older sister type, and her adorable oversized black glasses created an indescribable contrast that gave her a unique charm.
Su Baizhou ignored Qin Yuwen. She had no interest in men. None at all.
"Zhouzhou, just take a look. He really is handsome. What if you end up liking him? We can't really stay single for the rest of our lives without ever finding a boyfriend, can we?"
Qin Yuwen placed her phone in front of Su Baizhou. Su Baizhou gave it a perfunctory glance.
Suddenly, she froze, her eyes fixed intently on Shen Qiao's photo.
However, her gaze was not on Shen Qiao.
A silence fell.
Qin Yuwen seemed to have seen something unbelievable as she stared at Su Baizhou in disbelief.
She might have wanted to share a good man with her best friend, but she had never imagined Su Baizhou would actually be interested.
Su Baizhou was looking at a man?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Su Baizhou's gaze vanished in an instant. She quickly returned her attention to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, as though nothing had happened.
"Zhouzhou! Stop pretending!" Qin Yuwen grabbed Su Baizhou's arm and said excitedly, "Are you interested in men now?"
"No."
"Pretend all you want. Wasn't that you just now, staring at a man?"
Qin Yuwen felt as though she had uncovered some earth-shattering secret.
Was the ice beauty finally about to welcome spring?
"What?"
Su Baizhou asked with an indifferent expression, "What man?"
Qin Yuwen: "..."
Keep pretending.
But that guy really was handsome.
Qin Yuwen looked again at Shen Qiao on her phone.
In the photo, Shen Qiao was eating, completely unaware that someone had taken a candid picture of him.
Perhaps because he was too dazzling, many people had failed to notice that Luo Ye, sitting beside Shen Qiao in the photo, was handsome too.
After leaving her facial mask on long enough, Qin Yuwen went to wash her face.
Then she suddenly noticed a men's jacket in the laundry basket beside her.
Was there anything strange about a men's jacket appearing in a girls' dormitory?
No.
But Qin Yuwen's face was full of shock.
Because that laundry basket belonged to Su Baizhou.
Although Su Baizhou had already rented a place outside campus, she had not moved all her belongings over yet.
"Zhouzhou!!"
Her voice, several decibels louder than before, came from the bathroom.
Su Baizhou's hand paused slightly. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't washed that piece of clothing yet...
But it wasn't a big problem. Qin Yuwen was adorably silly and easy to brush off.
Qin Yuwen came out and demanded:
"Zhouzhou, whose men's jacket is that?"
"Take a guess."
"???"
Qin Yuwen's curiosity was through the roof, but Su Baizhou's attitude drove her crazy.
"Tell me already!"
"I bought it myself."
"I don't believe you!"
"Believe it or not."
"Ahhh!!"
Qin Yuwen found this unbearable, but there was nothing she could do.
Meanwhile.
Luo Ye and the others returned to the dorm.
"Let me see what my three sons can do."
Wang Dachui immediately decided to hold the dorm's first late-night gaming session.
They pulled out their phones.
Cluck!
A rooster crowed.
"Brother Luo Ye, you're the only one left. I'll invite you to the team."
He tapped the invite button.
Luo Ye accepted.
The next moment, a burst of golden light flashed from the three men's phones, nearly blinding them.
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
Wang Dachui, Shen Qiao, and Li Haoyang stared at Luo Ye in shock.
"You're Number One on the List in the elimination rankings? Invincible War God Falling Leaves Return to Roots?"
"Yeah."
"Boss, carry me."
"I want to reach War God too!"
"Let's run squads. Military Base—let's go!"
"Holy crap, a golden legend!"
Wang Dachui drooled with envy as he looked at the Golden Maserati in Luo Ye's game.
"Get in there, Brother Shen Qiao, you sneaky bastard."
"What do you know? Hiding lets you grow; hide long enough and you'll rule the world."
"Brother Haoyang, what are you doing? Revive me! Revive me!"
Li Haoyang was still looting. Wang Dachui had already crawled right up to his feet, yet he hadn't even noticed.
The next moment, a grenade flew in and ended both his and Wang Dachui's lives.
Luo Ye looked at the three of them speechlessly.
"You guys have zero game sense. Watch me."
Luo Ye unleashed a flurry of ferocious moves—shoulder peeks, pre-fires, instant grenades, crouch shots—pulling off all sorts of flashy techniques with effortless ease.
In the end, he successfully wiped the squad.
"See? That's what you call skill, Brother Luo Ye."
Wang Dachui was incredibly proud, as if he were the one who had wiped the team.
"Holy shit."
Luo Ye suddenly cursed. On the screen, someone took him out with an AK burst to the head from several hundred meters away.
"Fucking cheater!"
No matter how strong a player was, they would eventually bow before hacks.
The pleasant night ended with the group excitedly gaming together.
Late at night, Luo Ye turned on his computer and began writing.
