Chapter 25: The Boys’ Dormitory
TL: Etude
After tidying up their dorm and cleaning up, the four boys gathered together to start a casual chat.
Since they had just met, they werent very familiar with each other yet, and their conversations had a somewhat serious yet nonsensical feel to them.
Zhou Chao talked about his plans to study hard, pass the civil service exam, and secure a stable government job. He dreamt of bringing his parents from the countryside to the city in their old age and hiring a nanny for them.
Ren Ziqiang expressed his ambition to join the student union to hone his skills and eventually start his own business to become a big boss.
Cao Guangyu was a bit pretentious. He claimed to be a rich second generation, attending the Finance Department to learn advanced management concepts. After graduation, he planned to take over the family business, expand it, and reach new heights of success. He even suggested that Jiang Qin and the others should join him after they graduated.
In short, each had grand ambitions, to the point where describing them as ambitious seemed an understatement.
Guys, can we talk about something men are interested in? Jiang Qin couldnt stand the pretense any longer and bluntly shattered their facades.
There was a moment of silence before Zhou Chao suddenly grinned: The senior sister who was registering new students at the school gate today was really pretty!
Right, right, that senior sister was indeed something, Ren Ziqiang agreed enthusiastically.
And the ones selling water cards and activating campus cards, those two senior sisters were also quite attractive!
Absolutely, especially the one selling water cards. Those legs, so long and fair!
Jiang Qin laughed. This was more like it. This was a genuine boys dormitory conversation, where dreams and aspirations were less likely topics than girls.
Cao Guangyu looked out the window, his eyebrows slightly raised, Women. Boring.
?????
I dated five girls in high school and got a bit tired of it. Im more fascinated by the single life now. What about you guys? Dont tell me youve never dated?
Ren Ziqiang quickly waved his hand in denial: I had a girlfriend in high school, but I broke up with her for the sake of studies.
After hearing this, Zhou Chao crossed his legs: Ive never dated, but I had two girls chasing me. I rejected them both to focus on my studies.
What about you, Old Jiang?
Im a lifelong solo.
What does that mean?
It means Ive been single since birth.
Hearing this, the other three couldnt help but smirk, feeling secure in their position in the dorm.
Honestly, Jiang Qin was the most handsome in the dorm. Not only was he tall, but he also had fair skin and well-defined features, the type most girls adore. Yet, he had never dated.
Jiang Qin replied with just three words to Hong Yan, not placing too much importance on this fleeting encounter.
There were many girls in college, and even more boys, especially since they were on different campuses. It was likely that a chance meeting would be their last.
Jiang Qin then opened Feng Nanshus message.
Jiang Qin, Im in room 503, bed 3, building 7.
Youre being so specific, but its no use, I cant get in there.
Why? I wanted to show you the mosquito net I set up.
Some idiot made the rule. For now, just set up your bed and rest.
When will you come to see me?
4:30, wait for me downstairs on time, and Ill come to pick you up.
The people in the dorm are chatting, and I dont know what to say.
Just keep smiling.
After sending the last message, Jiang Qin noticed the other three in the dorm were looking at him seriously: Whats up?
Cao Guangyu looked disappointed: Im here sharing my dating experience with you, and youre zoning out?
Im listening. No girl will take the initiative to ask a guy out for dinner. You have to make the first move.
Right, understanding this means youre halfway to success.
Jiang Qin nodded subtly, glanced at the time, and saw it was only fifteen minutes to 4:30. He got out of bed, changed into a jacket, put on his shoes, and headed out of the dorm.
Seeing this, Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao, and Ren Ziqiang were puzzled. They were enjoying the conversation, so why did Jiang suddenly leave without a word?
Old Jiang, where are you going? I havent finished teaching you!
Ill learn more when I come back. A girl asked me out for dinner.
Cao Guangyus smile froze, followed by a pang in his heart. It felt like all his efforts were overshadowed by someone else.
Being asked out by a girl just after the semester started?
No, Jiang Qin must be bluffing. He was just unhappy because he couldnt join in the conversation, so he made an excuse to leave.
Yes, that must be it. The title of the dorms Casanova could only belong to him!
