"Musen, girls these days are just too materialistic. Now, who's willing to join you for a spicy hotpot…" Li Rundong shook his head.
Xu Musen smiled, "If you don't have money, don't go for high maintenance. Don't you understand that simple concept?"
"We're all men here—who doesn't want a beautiful girlfriend? Don't act like it's not a pain for you too," Li Rundong complained, a hint of sourness in his tone as he thought about Xu Musen.
Born with a rich childhood sweetheart, and now he had An Nuannuan by his side, whose looks and family background were just as impressive.
If playing at high maintenance were his own game, then Xu Musen was playing at celestial levels!
"Then start earning money seriously. If you don't meet a decent girl anytime soon, focus on improving yourself and work hard to earn money. Remember, money isn't meant to be spent on the girl, but to be seen by the girl—of course, true love is the exception."
Xu Musen picked up a bottle and clinked it with his.
Young boys his age, especially those who had just started university, actually only had that much for monthly living expenses.
But once in the big city, seeing others around them wearing branded clothes and shoes, using the latest smartphones, and frequently visiting cafés and clubs, they couldn't help feeling somewhat inferior, thinking that they needed to provide their girlfriends with such a lifestyle.
In reality, everyone is ordinary. Wang Jianlin enjoys eating leek dumplings for breakfast.
What's most important in a relationship is comfort—it should be a case of 1+1>2, just getting by is fine.
Of course, if it's true love, you naturally can't help but want to provide her with the best life possible.
Xu Musen didn't disagree with this point either.
Listening to this, both Li Rundong and Ma Yaxing were taken aback.
Damn, that's really profound!
Li Rundong took another drag of his cigarette, and the memories of his breakup seemed to dissolve somewhat.
"Musen, you're definitely going to be a genius at being a jerk in the future!"
"Stop slandering me. I'm talking about normal interactions."
"Like the superficial but intricate relationship with Manager An? Or the kind of bond you have with your childhood sweetheart, growing up together since you were both in diapers?"
"Get lost, get lost, get lost."
Laughter filled the dorm room, and Li Rundong seemed much more at ease.
Xu Musen saw he was okay and also prepared to wash up and go to bed early.
Just then, his phone buzzed with a message.
It was from An Nuannuan.
"Xu Musen, I'm coming to campus early tomorrow morning."
"Great, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, I have some good news to tell you~ (rabbit rubbing hands.)"
"You've been stringing me along for days now. If it's not good news, see if I don't pinch your face!"
There was no reply on the other side of the phone.
Xu Musen waited for a bit, feeling antsy.
He didn't scare off this silly girl, did he?
It was a while before An Nuannuan sent an emoji of a small rabbit nodding.
"Where did you go just now? Took you so long to reply." Xu Musen asked.
An Nuannuan replied swiftly this time: "I was doing a face mask."
Xu Musen hadn't reacted yet when An Nuannuan sent another message.
"That way, when you pinch me, I'll be even softer~"
Xu Musen felt as if his heart had been struck for a moment.
Looking at the message, he couldn't help but smile.
