"Li Hanyu, you can earn so much money now, you have to treat us this time."
"Yeah, right, we’re broke, really pitiful."
The short-haired girl finished speaking, and the other two girls chimed in chirpily.
"Of course, no problem," Li Hanyu said, patting his chest.
His family’s financial situation is average; his parents give him a monthly allowance of two thousand. However, the six thousand salary from writing a novel on the twelfth is about to be paid, so he’s not stingy about spending money.
Seeing these girls first talking to Qin Yun, and then to Li Hanyu, Zhao Kanghao felt quite dismayed.
He glanced around and said, "Come on, everyone, first time meeting, let’s have a drink, no need to say more."
He raised a glass of beer in his hand.
"That’s right, let’s chat while drinking,"
said the long-legged, pretty girl Jiang Yi with a smile.
The dishes ordered in the private room began to arrive, along with some beer and drinks. The two dormitories quickly got familiar with each other.
Gradually, the two dorms started chatting casually.
Li Hanyu was chatting with his girlfriend Zhang Xiaoyue.
Qin Yun was casually chatting with Lin Mengmeng, mostly talking about things in Wu City. Coming from the same place gave them topics to discuss.
As for the long-legged, pretty girl Jiang Yi, she started a conversation with Zhao Kanghao.
Cheng Daxiong initially wanted to approach the long-legged, pretty girl, but seeing that she had chosen Zhao Kanghao, he found a petite girl instead. The girl’s name was Rui Chenqi, about 1.55 meters tall, with bangs, big eyes, and looked very cute.
Zhou Pang was chatting with a slightly chubby girl named Chen Xi, who was constantly laughing at something.
As for Liu Xin, he basically had no presence, just sitting at the table without speaking.
In Zhang Xiaoyue’s dorm, there was a dark-skinned, small girl named Zhou Xiaoke, who also seemed introverted and sat without speaking.
After more than an hour, it was past nine in the evening, and people from both dormitories were getting ready to leave.
"Yue, we’re leaving. See you tomorrow." After sending the girls back to their dormitory building, Li Hanyu and Zhang Xiaoyue shared a heartfelt hug, finally parting amid everyone’s teasing.
"Yue, childhood sweetheart romance is so enviable."
As the boys left, the short-haired girl Zhao Qing said mischievously, "And he can write books, earning over six thousand a month. I also read novels and know that as the story progresses, the more words written, the more they earn."
The others were also filled with envy.
After all, starting to earn money as a freshman puts him ahead of most boys by a long shot.
Zhang Xiaoyue smiled and said, "My Hanyu is taken, but today, seeing the other guys, what do you think? Any of them do you like?"
"That Qin Yun is pretty handsome and tall."
"Yeah, even a bit more handsome and taller than your Hanyu, Yue."
The others immediately laughed and targeted Qin Yun.
"Oh, Qin Yun is good, but he’s already Mengmeng’s," Zhao Qing said playfully.
Hearing this, Lin Mengmeng’s face turned red, "Zhao Qing, what are you talking about?"
"Hehe, I saw you exchange WeChat with Qin Yun,"
Zhao Qing said with a smile, "Look, you’re so pretty, with such a gentle personality. If I were a guy, I’d definitely like you. Plus, Qin Yun is from the same place as you, that’s what you call fate."
"Yeah, Mengmeng, you and Qin Yun are a perfect match."
"I think you should message him tonight to deepen your relationship."
The other girls said, making Lin Mengmeng’s face even redder.
Actually, she did have a bit of a crush on Qin Yun. Qin Yun was exactly her type.
"Do girls message boys first?"
At this moment, the long-legged, pretty girl Jiang Yi shook her head and said, "If Qin Yun is interested in Mengmeng, he will definitely message her tonight. Mengmeng should wait a few minutes before replying, don’t seem too eager. In the early stages of dating, you must take the initiative. This way, I guarantee Mengmeng will have Qin Yun under her thumb."
She smiled, offering advice to Lin Mengmeng.
"Wow, Yiyi, you’re amazing,"
exclaimed Zhang Xiaoyue and the others.
They giggled and discussed how to help Lin Mengmeng win over Qin Yun.
Of course, this was all in good fun since they’d only just met.
Finally, the petite, cute girl Rui Chenqi sighed, "The guys in dorm 305, Li Hanyu and Qin Yun, are both outstanding. I wonder how the other boys in our class are?"
Having two decent guys in one dorm might mean there are more excellent ones in the class.
Currently, high school dating is indeed increasing, though not as common as one might think. But for those with good grades, the chances are slightly lower. Having just started university, they all held a considerable longing for love, hoping to meet an excellent guy.
"Haha, is little Qi thinking about love?"
Hearing this, the other girls laughed and teased.
They joked, while Jiang Yi smiled and said, "I think Zhao Kanghao is good too."
"Zhao Kanghao?"
"He’s pretty tall, looks average, but knows how to keep the atmosphere lively."
"Oh, so Yiyi likes that kind of guy."
The others thought of Zhao Kanghao, puzzled as to why Jiang Yi mentioned him.
Faced with their curiosity, Jiang Yi just smiled without explaining further.
As they chatted, they returned to their dorm.
"Yiyi, should I really not message Qin Yun?" Lin Mengmeng found a chance and asked Jiang Yi quietly.
"Oh, our little princess Mengmeng really has her eyes on Qin Yun?" Jiang Yi said, surprised at Lin Mengmeng.
In her view, while Qin Yun was sunny and handsome, there were plenty of good-looking people nowadays. With so many trending celebrities on TV, outward appearance wasn’t her criteria. She looked at other aspects of a person.
Judging by Qin Yun’s clothes, which are probably worth two to three hundred, his family background seemed average. In her heart, he was clearly a bit inferior to Zhao Kanghao, not her type.
Lin Mengmeng blushed but didn’t respond.
"You silly girl, messaging him right after meeting—won’t that show him you like him? For boys, things too easily obtainable are not valued."
Jiang Yi said with a smile, "Just wait. If Qin Yun likes you, he will definitely message you. I’ll teach you how to chat then."
"Okay." Lin Mengmeng thought it through and agreed, nodding.
...
On the other side, Zhao Kanghao and the others were heading to their dorm.
"Qin Yun, I think Lin Mengmeng is interested in you. Talk to her more and try to win her over," Li Hanyu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qin Yun said helplessly, "You guys are so gossipy, aren’t you?"
"Haha, Qin Yun, are you feeling shy? In this day and age, which college student isn’t dating?"
Li Hanyu laughed, "My cousin is twenty-nine now; during university, his parents didn’t allow dating. After he graduated, they started urging him to get married. But finding a suitable partner is really hard, and now he’s constantly on blind dates."
"I say, if you don’t find a good partner during university, you will be left with blind dates after graduation."
"My mom encourages me to date early; she’s fully aware of my relationship with Xiaoyue and is completely supportive."
Li Hanyu said proudly.
"Brother Li’s right."
By this time, Zhou Pang nodded in agreement and said, "Parents can be weird now. They don’t allow dating in university, but once you graduate, they rush you to marriage. Around my hometown, it’s like this for several people, and the earliest marriages are postponed till twenty-seven."
"So settling your lifelong matters early is the most important thing," Li Hanyu said with an air of experience.
"Brother Li, teach us, please."
At this point, Cheng Daxiong leaned closer with a chuckle.
In the current dorm, only Li Hanyu was in a relationship, so they shamelessly wanted to learn from his experience.
Qin Yun shook his head, saying nothing. He wasn’t interested in Lin Mengmeng.
At this time, he was thinking about the clothing store’s sales after ten o’clock.
The three newly opened clothing stores also closed at ten in the evening.
They returned to the dormitory at around nine forty. After more than ten minutes, Zhao Tianqiang’s call finally came through.
