Chapter 25: Boys\' Dormitory
Chapter 25: Boys\' Dormitory
After tidying up their dormitory and cleaning it thoroughly, the four of them gathered together and began chatting.
Because they had just met, they weren\'t very familiar with each other, and their conversations felt somewhat formal.
Zhou Chao said he wanted to study hard and become a civil servant in the future, secure a stable job, and bring his parents from the countryside to live in the big city, hiring a nanny for them.
Ren Ziqiang mentioned his plans to join the student council to develop his skills and eventually start his own business as a big boss.
Cao Guangyu, on the other hand, acted rather pretentious. He claimed to be from a wealthy family and had come to the School of Finance to learn advanced management concepts. After graduating, he planned to inherit the family business, expand it, and achieve great success. He even suggested that Jiang Qin and the others join him after graduation.
In summary, everyone had ambitious dreams, and describing them as full of determination and ambition might be an understatement.
"Hey, can we talk about something that interests men?"
Jiang Qin couldn\'t stand it anymore and directly called out their idol facades.
Zhou Chao remained silent for a moment before grinning, "I think the senior sister who registered us at the school gate today is really attractive!"
"Yes, yes, she\'s quite nice," Ren Ziqiang agreed wholeheartedly.
"And the two senior sisters selling water cards and helping with campus card activations are also great!"
"That\'s right, especially the one selling water cards, those legs are long and fair!"
Jiang Qin burst into laughter. That\'s more like it. This was a boys\' dormitory, and what they should be discussing were girls, not lofty ideals.
Cao Guangyu looked out of the window and raised an eyebrow, "Women, not interested."
"?????"
"I had five relationships in high school, got a bit tired of it, and ended up preferring the feeling of being single. What about you guys? Haven\'t had any relationships?"
Ren Ziqiang immediately waved his hand, "I had one in high school, but I broke up with her later to focus on my studies."
Zhou Chao, after crossing his legs, said, "I never had one, but two girls pursued me. At the time, I rejected them both to concentrate on my studies."
"What about you, Jiang?"
"I was a solo act from birth."
"What do you mean?"
"It means being single since birth."
Upon hearing this, the three of them couldn\'t help but smile, feeling that their status in the dormitory was secure.
To be honest, Jiang Qin had the highest looks in the entire dormitory. Not only was he tall, but he also had fair skin and well-defined features. He looked like the type that girls liked, the so-called "pretty boy," yet he had never been in a relationship.
Cao Guangyu made a clicking sound with his tongue and instantly felt more confident. He straightened his back and puffed out his chest, feeling more accomplished.
"Old Jiang, even though dating might not be that interesting, it\'s a regret if you don\'t have a girlfriend during your student days. How about I teach you a few tricks?"
"Chasing girls is actually quite simple. As long as you have patience and perseverance, you can succeed in most cases."
"Be nice to her, buy her gifts, chat with her often, send her good morning and good night messages, make her used to your presence."
"Of course, initially, she probably won\'t pay much attention to you. You need to learn to persist. In simple terms, girls are soft-hearted creatures. Once their hearts soften, things are about fifty percent done."
"For someone like me, who\'s wealthy, it takes about three or four months to pursue a girl. You might need a bit more time."
"Don\'t be afraid of losing face, don\'t fear rejection. Whenever you get the chance, ask her out for a meal. Once she agrees, everything will be fine."
After listening to Cao Guangyu\'s experience sharing, Jiang Qin\'s mouth twitched a bit. He thought, "What kind of puppy love literature is this?" Why do those stubborn and willful girls even have a market? It\'s all because you guys, the "puppy dogs," are not assertive enough.
In another ten years, the norm in relationships would likely be strong, independent women and supportive men. What\'s the root cause? It\'s this kind of mentality!
However, when he turned his head, he found that Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao were surprisingly attentive, even taking notes in their little notebooks.
"??????"
Finally, Cao Guangyu revealed a mysterious smile and concluded, "The most important point is, never have an inflated ego and assume that girls will take the initiative to ask you out for dinner and chat. Nowadays, girls are quite reserved. You have to take the initiative to have a story."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qin\'s phone suddenly began vibrating, and it wasn\'t just once.
He unlocked the screen and saw that Wang Huiru, Hong Yan, and Feng Nanshu had all sent him messages on QQ.
"Jiang Qin, we\'ve arrived at school. Are you free tonight? Want to have dinner together?"
"No, I have plans tonight."
"In fact, this was Siqi\'s idea. She said she has some things she wants to talk to you about. If you\'re not busy, can you come out?"
"Tonight doesn\'t work for me; I really have plans. Let\'s find another time."
Jiang Qin had an instinctive resistance to the name Chu Siqi. Even if he happened to run into her on the street, he would pretend not to recognize her. How could he willingly go out to dinner with her?
After replying to Wang Huiru\'s message, Jiang Qin returned to the main screen and opened Hong Yan\'s message box.
"Jiang Qin, have you returned to the dormitory?"
"Yes, I\'m already here."
"There\'s something I forgot to tell you; it was nice meeting you."
"I feel the same."
Jiang Qin replied with three words to Hong Yan, but he didn\'t attach much importance to this chance encounter.
There were plenty of college girls, even more guys, especially since they belonged to two different campuses. After a chance meeting, it was very likely they would never see each other again.
Jiang Qin returned to the main screen and then opened Feng Nanshu\'s message box.
"Jiang Qin, I\'m in Building 7, 5th floor, Room 503, Bed No. 3."
"You\'re being so specific, but I can\'t get in."
"Why not? I wanted to show you the mosquito net I set up myself."
"Who knows which jerk made this rule. Here\'s the deal: you tidy up your bed first and take a rest."
"When are you coming to pick me up?"
"At 4:30, be ready downstairs on time, and I\'ll come to get you."
"People in the dormitory are chatting, and I don\'t know what to say."
"Just keep smiling."
After typing the last sentence, Jiang Qin noticed that the three guys in the dormitory were looking at him with serious expressions. "What\'s wrong?"
Cao Guangyu wore a frustrated expression. "I was in the middle of imparting my dating wisdom to you. How can you be so absent-minded?"
"I was listening. No girl will come to you for dinner and a chat on her own. You have to take the initiative to make things happen."
"That\'s right. If you understand that, you\'re already halfway to success."
Jiang Qin nodded subtly and then glanced at the time. He realized that there were only fifteen minutes left until 4:30. So, he got up, changed his coat, put on his shoes, and headed out of the dormitory.
Seeing this, Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao, and Ren Ziqiang were all a bit puzzled. They were in the middle of an engaging conversation, so why did Jiang suddenly want to leave without a word?
"Old Jiang, where are you going? I haven\'t finished teaching you yet!"
"I\'ll come back to learn later. A girl is looking for me to chat and have dinner."
Cao Guangyu\'s smile froze on his face, and then his heart skipped a beat. He felt like he had been set up after all the buildup.
Going out for dinner with a girl right at the beginning of the school year?
No, something wasn\'t right. Jiang Qin was probably making it up because he felt left out since he had never been in a relationship. That\'s why he left to avoid the topic.
Yes, that must be it. The dormitory\'s love expert can only be himself!
