Chapter 30: Freshman Registration Day

Early the next morning, warm sunlight quietly fell upon the campus.

As the alarm clock rang, Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang suddenly sat up in their beds, jumping down as if injected with chicken blood. They began washing their hair, shaving, styling their hair, and changing into new clothes, dolling themselves up as if going on a blind date.

Today was the official freshman registration day. Everyone in the class would gather in the classroom. These three guys couldn’t wait to go to the class and show off, planning to dazzle the girls as soon as they made their appearance, making it so the girls wouldn’t marry anyone but them.

At this time, Jiang Qin also jumped out of bed.

Perhaps due to his overly mature soul, he didn’t care much about his image. He simply put on a pair of brown shorts and changed into a white shirt.

“Shall we go, bros?”

“Let’s go!”

Cao Guangyu responded, turning to leave, but his gaze suddenly froze upon seeing Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin was already 1.8 meters tall to begin with. With this casual and simple outfit, he looked clean and sunny. It may not be extremely handsome, but it was definitely the comfortable kind of good-looking.

Cao Guangyu felt a bit depressed. He had deliberately gotten up half an hour early to doll himself up, but he still didn’t look as good as someone else wearing whatever.

I’m a damn rich second generation. From head to toe I’m wearing brand name goods. How have I become his foil in every aspect?

“Old Jiang, I really don’t like you.”

“?????”

After a while, the four of them left together, arriving at the teaching building’s front plaza.

Under the glorious sunlight, the entire school was filled with beautiful long legs and perky chests and butts, making Cao Guangyu and the other two guys excitedly howl.

However, these three were masters at boasting, but as soon as things got real, they were all cowards. They only had the courage to feast their eyes, but not the courage to approach.

Jiang Qin looked at them sideways, thinking, just this?

Still claim to have had five girlfriends, to have dumped your first love for the sake of studying, to have had two admirers you never accepted until graduation. Even ghosts wouldn’t believe this.

After completing registration at the School of Finance, the four successfully found the Financial Class 3 gathering classroom.

No matter how much Cao Guangyu insisted women were boring, as soon as he heard girls’ voices in the classroom, his legs instantly softened a bit. He hesitated, not daring to go in.

“Old Jiang, you go in first.”

“Why?”

“No reason. I’m telling you to go in first so just go in first.”

Jiang Qin saw through his false bravado. Without another word, he entered the classroom, instantly attracting the gazes of many girls.

Amidst their whispers, Cao Guangyu keenly picked up on some girls saying the word handsome. His back unconsciously straightened. He even took out his new phone, fiddling with it for a bit as if he had messages.

Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang were not to be outdone.

Although the two of them didn’t dare turn their heads to look at the girls, when walking forward without averting their gazes, they felt extremely handsome. Especially when they mistakenly thought some girl was looking at them, even their spines tingled.

Jiang Qin was a step ahead of them. He sat at a window seat in the back row, then watched his three roommates who were like big monkeys walking over. For some reason, he laughed.

Turns out no matter what era, college students have way too many inner monologues.

“Yo, Old Cao, your phone’s not bad. How much did it cost? Latest model?”

“Ah…?”

Cao Guangyu was stunned for a moment by Jiang Qin’s question, but he quickly understood, his entire aura instantly becoming spirited: “Yeah, newly bought. Over 3000 yuan. My dad got it for me through insider channels. It hasn’t even been released in China yet.”

Jiang Qin’s eyes instantly widened: “3000 yuan? Fuck, isn’t that almost as much as tuition?!”

“Chump change. My dad owns a company. He pays out hundreds of thousands just in salaries each month.”

Hearing their conversation, all the girls in the class looked over, then lowered their heads again, letting out a burst of giggles and whispers.

Jiang Qin reached out and patted Cao Guangyu’s shoulder, lightly raising an eyebrow: “How about it? I gave you a chance to show off this time, right?”

Cao Guangyu was so hyped up. He kept savoring that previous moment of spotlight: “Old Jiang, you’re a real bro. Later I’ll help you show off too!”

“Forget it. I don’t want that.”

“Why?”

Jiang Qin laughed: “I won’t date anyone. But I do have a suggestion. I hope you guys will listen.”

Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao had also taken their seats by now. As soon as they heard this, they immediately leaned in: “What suggestion?”

“It’s best not to look for a girlfriend in our class. To avoid awkwardness later.”

“Later? Psh, we’ll deal with the future when it comes.”

“Who said anything about the future? I’m talking about the damn verb.”

“????”

“Forget it. If you can’t even understand that, you probably can’t find a girlfriend anyway.”

After saying this, Jiang Qin paused. He suddenly thought of something, then got up and walked out. He quickly arrived at the neighboring Financial Class 4.

He looked inside from the back door. His gaze instantly locked onto Feng Nanshu sitting in the back on the right. She wasn’t sitting alone. Instead, four or five girls were gathered around her, and they all had milk tea from the same shop in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qin instantly felt relieved. He was just about to leave when Feng Nanshu seemed to sense something and turned her head.

She was still so cold and aloof, or rather, silly and foolish. Then expressionlessly, she raised her right hand and made a scissor sign beside her left cheek.

The corner of Jiang Qin’s mouth lifted. He also made a scissor sign back at her.

Feng Nanshu wrinkled her delicate nose, seemingly unwilling to lose. She raised her other hand too, making two scissor signs.

“Nanshu, what are you doing?”

Gao Wenhui, who was sitting beside Feng Nanshu, very keenly noticed her actions. So she glanced at Feng Nanshu, then followed Feng Nanshu’s gaze and saw Jiang Qin.

After hesitating for 3 and 1/3 seconds, Gao Wenhui’s eyes widened in surprise, as if she had eaten a giant melon. She reached out and frantically patted her sisters around her.

“Quick look, Feng Nanshu’s boyfriend!”

“Where? Where’s the boyfriend?!”

“Behind, at the back door of the classroom!”

Hearing this, the girls of Room 503 all turned their heads in unison, but Jiang Qin had already returned to the classroom a step ahead, not giving them any chance at all.

And just as Jiang Qin had entered the classroom, the advisor for Financial Class 4 also arrived.

He looked to be in his forties, wearing black-framed glasses, with a standard square face. After getting on stage, he first wrote his name on the blackboard – Lü Guangrong.

“My name is Lü Guangrong. You can call me Teacher Lü. Barring unusual circumstances, I will be accompanying everyone for the next four years.”

Teacher Lü first said some warm words of welcome to everyone, then talked a bit about Linchuan University’s regulations and reminders about military training.

These were all clichés. They had to be said once each time there were new students. So he spoke very quickly without any extra nonsense.

After talking about all this, Lü Guangrong gave the time to everyone, letting people in the class take turns going on stage to introduce themselves.

During this time, Jiang Qin was always thinking about making a website. He didn’t listen carefully.

He wasn’t a computer major. He had ideas but lacked skills. So he planned to outsource the webpage creation.

Luckily this was a school. There were plenty of people who could make websites, and part-time college students were generally very cheap. Costs could be kept extremely low.

“That girl called Jiang Tian isn’t bad. Her legs are so long and white.”

“I think Song Qingqing is the best-looking.”

“What do you know? Song Qingqing clearly has makeup on. If she took off her makeup, she definitely couldn’t compare to Jiang Tian. Old Ren, what do you think?”

“I also think Song Qingqing is good-looking.”

“Fuck, turns out you guys all like this type of seductive bitch. You have no taste!”
