As he spoke, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but wear a gloomy expression.
His family had truly emptied their savings to support his education, all because of that scoundrel, Long Aotian.
If he hadn't forced Hu Yuying, how could she have refused to help him study? If only Hu Yuying had been willing to assist him, he could have gotten into the capital!
It was Long Aotian who had indirectly ruined him. "Just wait, I’ll make you pay for this!"
With that thought, Ye Liangchen slowly exhaled a breath of frustration and took out a mirror to fix his hair.
He wanted to present himself in the best light to his childhood friend, Lin Wanning, hoping for a moment of mutual admiration that would last a lifetime!
Just imagining Lin Wanning's surprised expression made him chuckle.
She was the girl next door he had met in kindergarten.
Back then, his family hadn’t yet moved from the village to the city.
At that time, Lin Wanning was his deskmate. Although he often bullied her, they were just kids then—what did they know?
He still remembered one time, though he couldn’t recall exactly which grade it was, during a summer visit back to his hometown, he had even helped her out.
And with his encouragement, she recognized him in no time...
"Perhaps it was at that moment that I left an indelible impression on Lin Wanning."
"Heh, it really gives me a headache."
He said this, but deep down, Ye Liangchen felt quite happy.
If he remembered correctly, today Lin Wanning would accidentally knock over a bottle of iced tea due to the crowd during the new student registration.
As a result, she would be harassed, insulted, and in the struggle, she would accidentally hurt her calf. When the assailant saw more and more people gathering, he would throw down two hundred yuan for medical expenses and flee.
Misunderstood, Lin Wanning wouldn’t want to return to the dorm and would hide here, crying quietly.
In his dream, he had also been out with Hu Yuying for a meal at that time, only to be hit on the head with a beer bottle by Long Aotian.
After getting bandaged at the hospital and taking the subway back to school, he accidentally dropped a pack of tissues, which fatefully ended up in Lin Wanning's hands, setting the stage for their second encounter.
Though he hadn’t been hit this time, he had prepared plenty of tissues.
In the dream, he had dropped the tissues while passing by here after getting hurt.
So, the tissues were the thread connecting them.
Checking the tissues in his hand, Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but smile. Everything was ready; now he just needed a little push from fate!
Although he really wanted to rush over and help her, he forced himself to hold back to avoid any butterfly effect.
This time, he decided to respect the arrangement of destiny...
So he squatted here, waiting with a sense of satisfaction.
...
The next morning.
The alarm rang.
Everyone instinctively jumped out of bed, relying solely on their bodies’ reflexes to wash up, fix their hair, and change clothes. You’d think they were getting ready for a matchmaking event!
Today was the official start of school, and everyone had to gather in the classroom. The night before, while drinking, the three of them had boasted about making a grand entrance today, using their years of dating experience to secure their romantic prospects for this semester!
“Damn it, who just hit me on the back?” Long Aotian exclaimed as he got up, feeling a sharp pain in his back.
Looking at the iodine and band-aids on his bedside table, the events of yesterday began to come back to him.
Not paying it much mind, he jumped out of bed, tossed a towel over his shoulder, and grabbed his toothbrush and toothpaste.
Li Longlong, brushing his teeth, instinctively asked Long Aotian, “You okay?”
“I’m fine.” Long Aotian splashed some water on his face and started brushing his teeth.
“You really stole the show yesterday! That cool girl was chasing after you to help with your injuries. I mean, she could resist the charm of a handsome guy like me, and I’m just amazed!” Huang Fei said, smearing gel in his hair.
“I have to say, Old Ao, you were really impressive yesterday. You looked so red all over; I thought you could knock that old pervert out with one punch.” Xu Shuai even had a face mask on, looking quite refined.
Huang Fei and Li Longlong nodded at Long Aotian, “We’ve unanimously decided that you’re the top dog in dorm 147!”
Long Aotian chuckled, “Come on, top dog?”
As they joked and laughed, everyone finished getting ready.
“How’s my hairstyle?” Huang Fei asked, satisfied after finishing with his comb.
He had put in a lot of effort to get this hairstyle ready before school started, just waiting for this day to arrive.
“Looks great!”
“Not bad.”
“Can I borrow this?”
Huang Fei immediately clutched his gel protectively.
“Not today, but you can use it tomorrow!”
Long Aotian watched his friends fooling around, laughing heartily.
Twenty minutes later, the four of them stepped out one after the other.
Even though it was only early September, the weather was still quite hot.
Looking around, there were pairs of beautiful long legs everywhere, especially at T University, where the senior girls had stunning figures. Thanks to their regular workouts, their legs and curves were even more alluring than average.
In short, the entire campus was filled with a unique, vibrant youthful energy.
Watching his friends, who fancied themselves the three kings of love, leering at the beautiful legs around them, Long Aotian couldn’t help but laugh.
He was different; he preferred to look openly.
For any man, the most perfect and wonderful thing in the world is the body and curves of a young girl.
Normal people are visual creatures; everyone loves to look at beautiful women, as long as there isn’t a bulldozer nearby.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the entrance of Class Three in the Physical Education department.
“Wait, wait! I think we, the Four Kings, need to make a grand entrance into the classroom. Have you seen ‘Meteor Garden’?”
Huang Fei said, lost in thought. “When we walk in, we have to be cool, not looking sideways, giving off a high and aloof vibe. Only by standing out can we attract the girls’ attention.”
“Who goes in first?” Xu Shuai asked eagerly. After Huang Fei’s talk about the ten core principles of dating yesterday, Xu Shuai had started to believe him.
“Old Ao, since you’ve never dated, you should go first!”
Huang Fei thought for a long time and continued, “In terms of looks, you’re still a bit behind me. If you walk behind us, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it!”
“Then who goes last?” Li Longlong asked.
Huang Fei sighed, “I guess it’s my turn to step up. Let me go last; I’m willing to bear all the pressure!”
After Huang Fei’s analysis and arrangement, Long Aotian stepped into the classroom first.
By this time, quite a few people had already arrived, and anyone entering from outside would inevitably attract countless gazes.
Facing the crowd, Long Aotian smiled warmly, scanned the room, and finally headed to the last row.
Seeing Long Aotian walk in, Li Longlong took a deep breath and walked in with one hand in his pocket.
He kept his gaze straight ahead, a slight smile on his lips, and even flicked his bangs as he walked.
Especially feeling the eyes on him, he had to fight the urge to look back, which was both thrilling and nerve-wracking!
As Li Longlong paused to flick his hair, he lost a bit of time.
Before he could reach his seat, Xu Shuai had already walked in with both hands in his pockets.
Seeing Li Longlong still not at his seat, he felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth, wanting to step back and re-enter, but he forced himself to hold back; that would be too obvious!
Originally, Long Aotian could have held back his laughter, but seeing Xu Shuai’s confused expression at that moment, he couldn’t help it anymore, laughing until his stomach hurt. Who knew his anticipated college life would be this entertaining?
No wonder he often came across all sorts of funny moments involving college students while scrolling through social media in his previous world!
After a while, Huang Fei walked in.
Standing tall, he kept his gaze straight ahead, casually holding his phone with the hand wearing a watch, pretending to reply to a message, tilting his head with a smile, and fiddling with his phone.
At least in terms of style, he had it down perfectly.
Once seated, he immediately returned to his previous demeanor. “So, how many girls were checking me out just now?”
“A lot! Wow, the girls in our class are so full of energy!”
