    “Jiang Qin!”

    “Oh? It really is Jiang Qin. What a coincidence!”

    Jiang Qin was wandering around the plaza when he heard voices and looked up to see the girls from Finance Class 3 walking over, chirping and chattering.

    Leading them was Song Qingqing, Jiang Tian and that new girl Jian Chun, followed by Pan Xiu, Liu Xiaojuan and two other girls whose names he still couldn’t quite remember.

    Among these girls, the one called Jian Chun was indeed the most dazzling.

    She wore a khaki short skirt with a slightly uniform-style seven-eighths sleeve top, revealing fair, smooth calves and white slippers on her feet.

    No wonder Cao Guangyu had some taste. As expected of a young master from a big city.

    At the beginning of the school year, he kept saying how pretty Song Qingqing was but never made a move. Yet as soon as he saw Jian Chun, his heart started itching, his taste clearly several levels higher than Ren Ziqiang’s.

    However, a guy was also following beside Jian Chun. Jiang Qin originally thought he was just a passerby but he would walk when Jian Chun walked and stop when she stopped, his gaze always focused on her. They were obviously acquainted.

    This must be the new male student Ren Ziqiang mentioned.

    The two skipped military training and enrolled together, even ending up in the same department and class. Their relationship was probably not ordinary.

    No need to ask, Old Cao’s love was about to be shattered again. The old man under the moon must be allergic to him.

    Jiang Tian walked over with light steps, “Jiang Qin, you’re here for milk tea too?”

    “Not for milk tea. I’m just here to join in the liveliness,” Jiang Qin responded.

    Song Qingqing walked a bit faster, passing Jiang Tian, “Since you’re here, have a cup. My treat!”

    “How about this, I see the girl at the milk tea shop working so hard. You give the money to the cashier, forget the milk tea, and consider it treating me. How’s that?”

    “Frivolous.”

    “???????????”

    Jian Chun, who had been standing there silently, suddenly spit out two words and rolled her eyes at him, leaving Jiang Qin extremely puzzled.

    Damn, did I even say a word to her? How rude.

    The quality of female university students these days really needs improvement.

    But before he could speak, his phone rang in his pocket. Jiang Qin waved at them and found a corner to answer the call.

    The caller was Hong Yan. There was nothing special, just informing him that she had passed both the interview and assessment for the International Trade Department.

    “I didn’t expect you to make this decision after all.”

    “I think Nanshu was right. I shouldn’t change my choice because of others’ opinions. I should do what I think is right.”

    “Alright then, why don’t we invite Feng Nanshu out and have a meal together to celebrate?”

    “Let’s not these two days. Chu Siqi has been watching me like a hawk recently, afraid I’ll meet you alone. Let’s eat after I move to the main campus. My treat.”

    “Okay, we’ll talk about it later then.”

    Jiang Qin hung up, put his phone in his pocket, and planned to go check on Room 208 again. This stage was very important for the website and he wasn’t at ease being completely hands-off.

    “Jiang Qin, the short holiday is coming up soon. I’m thinking of organizing a class dinner. What do you think?”

    Jiang Tian left her dorm mates and returned from Xitian Milk Tea Shop, standing cutely in front of Jiang Qin.

    “I think it’s fine. You’re our class monitor now. You decide.”

    “Do you want it to be a bit more formal or more casual? If formal, we can book a private room at Nanshan Restaurant. If casual, we can eat at the open-air stalls at Food is Heaven.” Jiang Tian earnestly asked for Jiang Qin’s opinion.

    As soon as Jiang Qin heard “Food is Heaven”, he couldn’t help gritting his teeth, “Let’s go to Food is Heaven. The boss there splashed me the other day. I’ll splash him back today.”

    “?????????”

    After seeing Jiang Qin off, Jiang Tian returned to the milk tea shop. Song Qingqing immediately opened her mouth, “How was it? Did Jiang Qin agree?”

    “He agreed. He said to go to Food is Heaven,” Jiang Tian replied.

    “Great! Then let’s hurry back after buying milk tea. I need to put on makeup and pick an outfit to charm him to death.”

    Jian Chun, who was ordering, couldn’t help turning her head in confusion, “Qingqing, what’s so good about that Jiang Qin? You even need to dress up specially for him?”

    “His family has a Bentley.” Song Qingqing declared righteously.

    “Bentley? Oh, a rich second generation. No wonder he’s so frivolous.”

    For strangers meeting for the first time, first impressions are the most important. Jian Chun had just joined this class when Jiang Qin threw her a note, so of course her impression of him wouldn’t be too good.

    Song Qingqing couldn’t help pouting, “Yes, yes, all the men in the world are frivolous. No one is as gentlemanly as your Zhuang Chen!”

    Jian Chun glanced back at the guy who came with her, “Him? Barely passable. But I prefer mature and refined men.”

    Zhuang Chen smiled in embarrassment, “Chun Chun, what do you want to drink? I’ll order for you.”

    “I’ll order myself. You can just get your own.”

    “Alright then.”

    After ordering, Zhuang Chen walked outside, took out a tissue, carefully wiped two adjacent chairs clean, then sat on one of them, gazing at Jian Chun amidst the crowd with a faint smile on his lips.

    He had liked Jian Chun for five years, starting from junior high and continuing until now. Although he hadn’t won her over, they were clearly getting closer.

    In junior high and high school, early dating wasn’t allowed and their families were quite strict. Jian Chun would always firmly reject his confessions. But after starting university, her attitude towards him had obviously softened a lot.

    He just needed to keep trying. The day when flowers bloom in spring surely wouldn’t be too far.

    “Let’s go. We’re done buying.”

    After a while, Jian Chun walked out of the shop with her milk tea.

    “We’re not drinking it here?”

    Zhuang Chen was a bit surprised. He had just finished wiping the chairs, waiting for Jian Chun to sit next to him.

    Jian Chun couldn’t help pouting, “There’s a class gathering tonight. Everyone’s in a hurry to go back and get ready.”

    “Then let’s go walk around somewhere else and meet up with them after they’re done getting ready?” Zhuang Chen didn’t want to return to the dorm too early.

    Jian Chun lowered her head and glanced at her outfit, “Forget it. I need to go back and change too. Even though there’s no need to dress up, it’s still the class’ first dinner. Wearing slippers is too improper.”

    “Oh… Alright then. I’ll go back to the dorm. I’ll come get you at 8.”

    Jian Chun gave a cold “mhm”, then turned to rejoin her girlfriends and returned to the female dorms of the School of Finance from the front plaza.

    As soon as she entered the dorm, Song Qingqing immediately opened her wardrobe and started picking out clothes.

    Her closet could be considered a small fashion museum. All sorts of little dresses hung tightly packed, so heavy that even the drying rod slightly bent.

    She took them out one by one to try on. After deciding on an outfit, she started doing her makeup, busy and happy.

    Although Jiang Tian very much looked down on Song Qingqing’s behavior, she was actually secretly competing too, furtively fiddling with her powder puff and little brushes on her face.

    Jian Chun completely didn’t understand.

    Why were guys like Jiang Qin so popular? Just because his family had a Bentley?

    Even if Song Qingqing was a bit of a gold-digger, Jiang Tian wasn’t that kind of person. So why was she like this too?
