Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 18: Social Scene
There were eight people in Cao Sheng's dormitory, and they walked out of the school in a mighty manner. The sight of eight young men walking together attracted a lot of attention. Those who didn't know them might think they were going to have a fight.

Along the way, anyone who meets them will subconsciously give way to them.

Little do they know that 8 out of these 7 guys are single, and the strategic goal of 6 of them tonight is just to win the favor of a girl.

It's simply a dog-licking war.

Only Guan Zhi and Cao Sheng were relaxed.

Among them, Guan Zhi has a girlfriend.

Cao Sheng, who is considered by his roommates to have a girlfriend, is actually still single. However, he has no interest in any of the girls present tonight.

To be more precise, his living expenses are becoming increasingly tight, and his career has not yet been successful, so he has no intention of falling in love.

He just wants to make money now.

……

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at a small restaurant where Guan Zhi had already booked a private room.

The name of this restaurant is Huizhou Family.

On the way here, Guan Zhi introduced that although this restaurant is not big, the food is very good, the portions are large, and it is economical.

When they arrived, Guan Zhi took everyone to Box No. 1 on the second floor. After asking the waiter to serve tea, he went downstairs to wait for the girls.

After a while, the fourth boy Wei Dongming also went downstairs on the pretext of going to the toilet. He came to Guan Zhi with a smile, and chatted with Guan Zhi while waiting for the girls to arrive together with Guan Zhi.

Upstairs box.

Cao Sheng drank the free tea and listened to his roommates chatting.

What I was thinking about was how many days it would take to get a reply to my submitted manuscript “I Want to Become an Immortal”?
What would be the reaction of the publishing house's review editor when he sees this book?
Did it catch your eye? Did you think the subject matter was novel?

Or do you keep frowning? You just can't appreciate this kind of fairy tale?

He, Cao Sheng, has never been a lucky man. Before his rebirth, he had never encountered any good things, so now he can't help but feel a little uneasy.

I am a little worried that there may be some setbacks in the publishing of my book.

He is confident about the subject matter and quality of this book.

He was just worried that the publishing house's review editor was too conservative and would not dare to agree to publish his book.

What he is most worried about is that before his living expenses run out, he has not found a publishing house willing to publish his book.

If that situation really happened, he might have to find a job as a waiter in a small restaurant to earn a living.

I guess he must be extremely depressed by then.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, Song Chao, who was sitting next to Cao Sheng, came over and asked curiously.

Cao Sheng looked over, smiled and shook his head, "Nothing, just in a daze."

Song Chao blinked. He had been sleeping on the lower bunk of Cao Sheng since he entered college. He had a good relationship with Cao Sheng. Maybe he felt that he had a special relationship with Cao Sheng! He lowered his voice and asked, "Everyone says that you are in love. You admitted it last time, but we still haven't seen what your girlfriend looks like. When will you bring her out to show us? By the way, what's her name? Is she a freshman? Or a sophomore? A junior? What's her major? You two have been checking into hotels quite frequently recently! Can your waist bear it? Hehe."

Cao Sheng: “…”

Very speechless.

In this time and space, he is still a virgin and has never touched a woman's hand properly, but his roommate actually asked him if his waist could withstand it.

What the heck!
Cao Sheng said something in his heart, but said with a smile: "Why do you care whether my waist can withstand it? Do you want me to hold you up?"

Song Chao rolled his eyes, "Come on! I'm not made of glass!"

Just as Cao Sheng was about to say a few more words to him, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps at the door of the box, and the voices of a group of girls talking and laughing were heard.

Among them was Wei Dongming's joking voice.

Suddenly, all the boys in the box looked over, including Cao Sheng.

A few anxious ones stood up subconsciously.

Cao Sheng just sat there without moving.

What does it mean to be strong without desire? He is now like that.

The first to enter the box were Guan Zhi and his girlfriend Xu Ling. The other girls stopped outside the box door and looked at the boys in the box with different expressions. The fourth one, Wei Dongming, stood next to the girls and was talking to a petite girl with delicate features and a wide smile on his face.

"Come in, beauties! What are you doing standing at the door? Brothers, why don't you applaud and welcome us?"

Guan Zhi greeted them with a smile, then turned around and asked his roommates to applaud.

My roommates were also very considerate and immediately started clapping. Although there were not many people, the applause was very enthusiastic. Everyone had a smile on their face and looked at the girls outside the door with shining eyes, seemingly looking for a girl who was suitable for them.

Only Cao Sheng clapped perfunctorily and his eyes looked indifferent. He now only hoped that the food would be served earlier so that he could eat a few more bites.

However, everyone loves beauty, and he subconsciously took a few more glances at the prettiest of the girls.

This girl has a long, oval face and is very slender. Her skin color is obviously one shade lighter than the other girls.

Her appearance and figure are both at the level of the most beautiful girl in class.

She has a cold expression and no smile on her face, making people feel that she is a cold goddess.

At this gathering in the original time and space, she was recognized as the most beautiful one in Cao Sheng's dormitory.

I still remember the name Cao Sheng.

——He Xinglan.

At the warm greeting of Guan Zhi and others, the girls walked into the box one after another. Some had cold expressions, while others had smiling eyes.

Some are tall and graceful, while others are petite.

Some are weak and fragile, while others are strong and have a strong temperament.

For a moment, Cao Sheng’s roommates were dazzled. They looked at this and that, as if they all suffered from decision-making difficulties.

But except for Guan Zhi's girlfriend Xu Ling, the other seven girls kept looking at Cao Sheng.

Cao Sheng's handsomeness is indeed obvious to all.

The best in the whole dormitory.

Today's dormitory gatherings for boys and girls are meant to create opportunities for members of both dormitories to find their partners. In such occasions, both boys and girls will naturally pay attention to the best-looking one in the other's dormitory.

At this time, two waiters came in from outside the door, handed over menus, and asked everyone to order.

The gentlemen are very polite and ask the ladies to order.

Some of the girls were polite, while others unceremoniously marked a few dishes on the menu. Finally, the menu was handed to Guan Zhi, who added a few more dishes and ordered a case of beer and two large bottles of drinks.

After the two waiters went out with the menus, Wei Dongming suggested that Guan Zhi introduce it to everyone.

Guan Zhi did not refuse. He stood up with a smile on his face and began to introduce the boys.

When he introduced Cao Sheng, Wei Dongming suddenly interrupted: "Guan Zhi! There's no need to introduce Cao Sheng, right? He already has a girlfriend!"

When these words came out, the girls looked a little surprised.

They all looked at Cao Sheng.

The boys all agreed and said that Cao Sheng had a girlfriend.

Cao Sheng smiled and did not refute.

As for the girls, it was visibly obvious that several of them had lost their smiles.

After Guan Zhi introduced several roommates, he motioned to his girlfriend Xu Ling to introduce the girls.

Then a funny scene happened.

When Xu Ling was introducing her roommates one by one, three girls raised their hands and announced that they already had boyfriends when it was their turn to introduce themselves.

Now it was the boys' turn to look increasingly stunned.

This is completely different from what Guan Zhi said in the dormitory before. Guan Zhi said that except Xu Ling, no one in their dormitory has a boyfriend.

What's going on now?
Xu Ling's expression was a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly, glared at the three girls, and winked at the other girls. Then, when she introduced the other four girls, finally no one said that they already had a boyfriend.

The atmosphere in the box finally improved a little, but Wei Dongming no longer had a smile on his face, because the person who had just announced that she had a boyfriend included the petite girl he had tried so hard to court before.
