Junior girls and freshman girls, though separated by just two years, display a drastic difference. Girls fresh from high school, though they've already started dressing up, still carry some schoolgirl air about them, like Lu Lin, who sticks to jeans, whereas at most Zheng Yanyan would wear shorts.
But junior girls are different, especially ones like Tao Tian, who have already begun participating in all sorts of social events, and their makeup also tends to be relatively mature.
Jobs like being a ceremonial hostess or a model were considered a form of socializing, so they always made sure they looked stunning.
When Zhou Yuwen's car pulled up in front of the girls' dormitory, he spotted Tao Tian and her two roommates approaching and didn't even manage to recognize them at first. Follow current novels on NovelHub(.)net
Take Tao Tian, leading the way, the most eye-catching feature was, of course, her "headlights." Tao Tian's figure indeed scored extra points.
She wore a one-shoulder hip-hugging dress that accentuated her S-curved figure, topped with a loose sweater jacket worn open on her frame, a small bag costing just over two thousand yuan slung over her shoulder, and her hair styled in large waves matched with a delicate makeup.
The two seniors walking behind weren't any less impressive. All three girls averaged around 170 cm in height, uniformly long-legged, one wearing black stockings with boots. The other sporting a pencil skirt and high heels, each carrying brands that seemed niche. While not expensive, they were beyond a student's budget, embodying an air of urban sophisticates.
"Thanks for waiting, little junior brother," Tao Tian said as she knowingly took the passenger seat, smiling.
Zhou Yuwen replied, "It's fine, I just got here too."
The job as an exhibition model this time paid four hundred yuan per gig, which, compared to the 2013 market rate, was already considered high, so Tao Tian invited her two dorm roommates.
The two roommates were not actually from the Art Department and naturally didn't know Zhou Yuwen.
They greeted Zhou Yuwen after getting into the car.
"So you're the little junior brother Tiantian often talks about back in the dorm, right?"
"Yeah, our Tiantian talks about you quite a bit."
Zhou Yuwen, driving, chatted casually with the seniors, smiling as he asked, "What bad things did she say about me?"
The girls giggled, "How could that be? We're too busy praising you."
"Saying how handsome you are, and she even said, alas, it's a pity you have a girlfriend, otherwise she'd definitely devour you."
"Would you stop making things up? When have I ever said such things?" Tao Tian immediately protested, complaining cutely.
Girls are like that; if surrounded by guys, they tend to be particularly demure. But throw a guy into a group of girls, and he's bound to be playfully teased by several of them.
This was the case with Zhou Yuwen, getting playfully teased back and forth by the senior girls.
Luckily, Zhou Yuwen wasn't some naive boy when it came to mentioning girlfriends.
Zhou Yuwen said, if she's not around, then it's as if she's not there.
The girls snickered when they heard this.
"Hey, if you're going to talk like that, then I'm really going to make a move," Boots Senior laughed as she took out her phone to add him on WeChat.
Pencil Skirt Senior said, "As if it'd be your turn. Our Tiantian will have taken care of him herself."
Tao Tian helplessly retorted, "What nonsense are you speaking? Don't bully my little junior brother, okay?"
The girls in the convertible were rather wild.
"Hey, Yuwen, can you check if my eyelash is falling off?" Tao Tian, smart as she was, saw her roommates eyeing Zhou Yuwen and quickly extended her nail-art adorned hand, asking for his help with her lashes during a traffic light.
Zhou Yuwen said, "Let me see."
They closed in on each other, Zhou Yuwen's neck was just above Tao Tian's bosom, and as she blinked her big watery eyes, her eyelashes fluttered—indeed a beautiful sight to behold.
But Zhou Yuwen was a gentleman and said, "Don't move, it seems like it is indeed falling off. I'll fix it for you."
As he spoke, Zhou Yuwen carefully touched Tao Tian's lash.
Watching the two in the front evoke an image of a couple in intimacy, the two seniors in the backseat immediately became jealous.
"Tiantian said she was bringing us out to make some money, but it turns out we're just here to watch you show off your affection!"
"Would you stop talking nonsense?" Tao Tian blushed slightly as if she were truly shy and said, "Zhou Yuwen has a girlfriend."
After saying that, she stole a glance at Zhou Yuwen.
However, Zhou Yuwen reacted normally, showing no particular response.
Tao Tian, in turn, felt a tinge of disappointment.
They were all adults, so playful flirting was naturally expected, but a guy shouldn't take such casual bantering too seriously. In occasions filled with flattery and courting, Zhou Yuwen had had his fair share of such in his past life, mainly during social gatherings where the interactions were nothing more than for the occasion.
Zhou Yuwen was here this time merely because it was his first time dealing with such an exhibition event and he wanted to see to it personally. To be honest, he wasn't really moved by the beauty of the girls; a few pretty seniors flattering him wasn't going to get to his head.
Zhou Yuwen was eighteen that year, owning a spacious apartment in Jinling and a convertible. Handsome as he was, if he wanted to, he could have a different date every day without repeats.
They drove on the elevated road for thirty minutes and arrived at an international convention center, where they got in touch with Manager Zhao.
Soon, the suit-clad Manager Zhao, accompanied by a middle-aged woman in a black uniform skirt suit, came over.
Seeing Tao Tian and the other girls behind Zhou Yuwen, Zhao Jun's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that entrusting this to Zhou Yuwen was the right decision. Here were several youthful and beautiful college students, and they came at a bargain too.
