Chapter 26: Perceived as Aloof Again

“Military training seems to last half a month. Have you all stocked up on sunscreen?”

“Sunscreen is a small matter, but they only give us one set of military training uniforms without any spares.”

“What kind of rule is that? Having to wear both inner and outer layers in 36°C weather is the worst.”

“I suggest not wearing underwear.”

“The uniform fabric is too rough. Not wearing underwear will chafe painfully.”

“Use band-aids then. I just bought a box today. Who wants some?”

“I do, I do. Just give me two, that’ll be fine.”

“I want four to make an X shape.”

The five girls from all corners of the country gathered together in Room 503, Building 7 of the dormitory area, sharing tips on how to survive the military training.

However, every few sentences, they would sneak a glance at the occupant of Bed 3.

Sitting there was an unsociable girl with exquisite, delicate features, curled lush lashes, and a flawless complexion. The stuffiness indoors brought a flush to her cheeks, adding a lovely quality.

Moreover, she wore a black Chanel summer dress, clearly from the new collection.

Girls love to compete with each other the most, even close friends refuse to concede. Why else would the ninth wonder of the world be six girls having 42 sister group chats exist?

Yet faced with this girl, the other five roommates all felt an overwhelming pressure.

How can someone in the world have such a beautiful face?

More importantly, she seemed to be a young miss. Otherwise, why would she bring bodyguards?

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help recalling what happened earlier.

At that time, two black-suited bodyguards pushed open the door. One carrying a suitcase, the other holding a thermos and washbasin, calling out, “Be careful, Miss” and “It’s been hard, Miss.” Then they quickly cleaned the entire dorm.

Fan Shuling was the first to arrive. She found the bathroom clogged, but before they could notify the dorm auntie, the two bodyguards had already unclogged it.

They even tied a butterfly knot on the radiator pipe with toilet paper. This damn sense of ceremony was killing them.

Because of this extraordinary entrance, Feng Nanshu with her innate halo immediately added a lot of pressure to the small Room 503.

It wasn’t until 4:30 pm when this young miss suddenly got up and left the dorm that the five girls let out a sigh of relief, the pressure in their hearts greatly reduced.

“Her name is Feng Nanshu, right? So aloof.”

“Yeah, she seems unapproachable…”

“Actually, I really don’t want to live with this kind of young miss. Won’t we have to watch her moods every day for the next four years of college?”

“Shuling, keep your voice down. Who knows if she’s gone far.”

Feng Nanshu was standing at the door, listening for a couple of sentences. She pursed her lips, her lashes trembling slightly. After a moment of silence, she turned and went downstairs.

At this time, more than a dozen boys had already gathered in front of the girls’ dormitory. Some fiddled with their phones, some drew circles on the ground out of boredom. Seeing Feng Nanshu come downstairs, they immediately surged over like gentlemen.

Some damn senior boys are like this. Usually can’t find a girlfriend, but as soon as freshmen enroll, they get horny, as if being a few years older gives them some halo.

Especially since Feng Nanshu was the type one glance would make you unable to forget, naturally many targeted her.

“Hey freshman, I’m the one who gave you directions earlier. Remember me? Can we add each other on QQ?”

“Freshman, I’m the Dorm Management Department head. Leave me your contact info. Find me if you need anything in the future!”

“I’m from the Student Union. Freshman, want to join the Student Union?”

“Freshman, you haven’t looked around campus since coming, right? Our Linchuanda has a long history. Let me show you around.”

Feng Nanshu took a step back, brows furrowed tightly, hands gripping her cross-body bag straps, eyes extremely wary.

Just then, a figure suddenly squeezed into the crowd, swiftly and naturally pulling Feng Nanshu behind him.

The little rich girl was still in a daze. She was about to struggle free, but upon seeing the person’s face, she immediately relaxed.

Seeing this, the surrounding boys couldn’t help frowning.

Who’s this guy? Doesn’t he know the first come, first served rule? I haven’t even gotten her QQ yet, how can you directly stick to her?

“Adding QQ? Come, come, come, add mine!”

Jiang Qin took out his Nokia phone and grabbed the boy in the very front: “I’ll take one after another. All of you, add me. Damn, just enrolled and already harassing freshmen. No one can escape!”

Hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding boys instantly changed. Then they scattered like smoke.

“What kind of crappy senior? You freshmen can’t find girlfriends, but you sophomores and juniors can? You think the freshman girls are all blind and can’t see how ugly you are?”

The lecher seniors who had walked not far felt their dignity crushed, immediately turning back to glare fiercely at him. But in Jiang Qin’s eyes, this was just a superficial display.

“What are you looking at? My name will never change. Li Dazhuang, freshman at the Foreign Trade College. If you have the guts, come fight me in the dorm!”

Jiang Qin cursed “cowards,” then turned to look at Feng Nanshu, only to find the little rich girl’s eyes lowered, her mood obviously not very high.

“Why so unhappy?”

Feng Nanshu raised her head, expression solemn: “It’s the people in the dorm. They said I’m aloof.”

Jiang Qin understood, but found it odd: “Didn’t you smile?”

Feng Nanshu furrowed her brows, carefully contemplating for a while: “I did smile, a sweet one. But it’s very strange. I don’t know where I did it wrong.”

“Smile for me to see.”

“Heh.”

Feng Nanshu’s eyes fluttered, her delicate lashes curled up, her pretty eyes reflecting the fiery red dusk sky. That exquisite face was gentle yet cool. Jiang Qin was slightly dazed looking at her, simply unable to shift his gaze.

When he came back to his senses, he realized this was a perfect and classic superficial smile, couldn’t help feeling troubled.

You call this sweet?

However, although this smile wasn’t sweet, it shouldn’t make Feng Nanshu feel isolated. Her ability to sense the atmosphere around her had always been very dull. If her roommates didn’t make it obvious, she definitely wouldn’t feel down.

“How about this, tell me everything from the beginning, starting from when you arrived at school.”

So, Feng Nanshu described her school entrance in a cool tone.

After hearing Feng Nanshu’s description, Jiang Qin couldn’t help his mouth twitching. He thought, this entrance was too pretentious. Bodyguards clearing the way, cleaning and unclogging the toilet. If this was in our dorm, that fellow Cao Guangyu would definitely be scared to death. No wonder people think you’re aloof.

The interpersonal relationships between girls are more complex than those between boys. Even the tiniest conflicts can be held in the heart and grow bigger and bigger. Jiang Qin couldn’t say much before understanding clearly, so he decided to find a place to ask properly.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you out to eat first.”

“Eat what?”

Jiang Qin walked out a few steps: “Why do you suddenly perk up at the mention of eating?”

Feng Nanshu refused to answer this question, quickly following Jiang Qin’s steps: “Those boys just now, can I be friends with them?”

“No!”

“Why?”

“Because no man is any good!”

“But you’re a man too.”

“Except me.”
