On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 324 It's a shame he's not a model!
When Chen Mo returned to dormitory 504, Wang Lan and Li Zhe were still fast asleep, while Shen Xinghe had already gotten up and was performing a very meticulous morning skincare routine in front of the mirror, her movements elegant and detached from worldly concerns.

"Good morning." Shen Xinghe saw Chen Mo in the mirror and greeted him. His voice was slightly hoarse from the morning, but it was still pleasant to hear.

"Good morning." Chen Mo grabbed a towel and bath towel to wash up. "I'll take a shower first, then we'll go have breakfast together."

Shen Xinghe gently patted his cheeks to promote absorption, and replied with a smile, "Okay."

Chen Mo nodded and turned to enter the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of pattering water could be heard.

About ten minutes later, the sound of water stopped.

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and a warm steam mixed with the refreshing scent of shower gel wafted out.

Chen Mo came out shirtless, with only a white bath towel wrapped around his waist.

He walked toward his wardrobe while drying his still-dripping short hair with another towel.

The perfect physique sculpted through years of exercise is on full display in the morning light.

His broad shoulders and strong muscles were clearly defined, and his smooth lines gave him a lean and slender beauty, unlike the bulkiness of a strong man.

Water droplets slid down his firm back muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles, outlining the powerful physique of the young man.

This is a physique that combines strength, agility, and beauty. Sunlight shines through the balcony window onto him, as if gilding him with a golden halo, full of vigor and healthy vitality.

Chen Mo went to bed late last night, while Shen Xinghe went to bed early, so he didn't get to see Chen Mo's figure. Now, seeing his almost perfect physique in the mirror, Shen Xinghe, who was applying serum to his face, couldn't help but pause.

A hint of pure admiration flashed in his peach blossom eyes. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a touch of teasing, "Tsk, Chen Mo, your figure... it's a shame you're not a model. You've maintained it quite well."

His evaluation was objective, reflecting the perspective of an artist examining beauty, and was devoid of any intimacy.

"Then you can mentor me," Chen Mo said casually with a smile. "Is being a model quite lucrative?"

He does not mean that.

Shen Xinghe excitedly stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at Chen Mo, "Are you serious? If you want, I have quite a few resources I can introduce to you, and the income will definitely be much better than that of an ordinary college student working part-time."

Seeing Shen Xinghe's eyes light up, Chen Mo immediately shook his head and laughed, "I was just kidding. I can't be a model."

"It's very simple. There will be someone to teach you on site. But if you want to shoot really outstanding photos, you'll also need to develop some camera presence yourself," Shen Xinghe replied with a smile. "With your talent, you can definitely do extremely well in this industry."

He looked at Chen Mo with an expression of pure appreciation for talent.

"Let's talk about it when I'm short of money," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

“Okay, if you have any ideas, just let me know and I'll help you get in touch. With your figure and charisma, it's a shame you're not a model.” Shen Xinghe turned back with satisfaction.

At this moment, Wang Lan and Li Zhe were also awakened by the noise of the two talking, and they sat up one after the other, rubbing their eyes.

"Are you two getting up for breakfast? Xinghe and I are about to head out for breakfast." Chen Mo glanced at the two of them while getting dressed.

"I'm still a little sleepy, how about you bring us breakfast back?" Wang Lan yawned, perked up, and then grinned at Chen Mo and Shen Xinghe.

"Just order takeout, they deliver to your door these days," Chen Mo replied with a smile. Li Zhe, on the other hand, struggled to get out of bed. "Wait a minute, I'll wash my face and we'll go together."

Seeing that the three of them were about to go out for breakfast, Wang Lan felt embarrassed to stay any longer. After all, they had only known each other for a day and should get to know each other better. He immediately said, "Since you're all going, I'll get up too."

"Where are we going to have breakfast?" Wang Lan asked, yawning.

"I heard the food at the first canteen is alright, let's give it a try, otherwise we'll have to eat out," Chen Mo replied, wiping his hair.

"Let's try the cafeteria first."

While Chen Mo was drying his hair, Wang Lan and Li Zhe also started washing up.

Shen Xinghe, on the other hand, continued to perform her skincare routine with unhurried elegance.

It was 8 a.m. when the four of them finally finished.

When the four of them went out together, they ran into a few boys from other dorm rooms in the hallway and greeted each other.

Wang Lan was naturally outgoing and quickly struck up a conversation with people, the topics being nothing more than the cafeteria, games, and girls.

Chen Mo listened, occasionally smiling, while his gaze habitually swept across the surrounding environment, observing the structure of the corridor and the location of fire-fighting facilities—an instinct honed from years of criminal investigation.

The four of them walked out of Building B of Xingyuan. The morning sun was already quite strong, and there were noticeably more students coming and going on campus than before.

"The weather in Xiangsha is truly remarkable; the sun is already so strong this early in the morning," Wang Lan remarked, squinting as she shielded her forehead with her hand.

“So sun protection is very important.” Shen Xinghe replied naturally, then took out a bottle of sunscreen spray from his seemingly large handbag, elegantly sprayed it a few times on his exposed neck and arms, and then looked at the other three, “Sunscreen, want some?”

Wang Lan quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, it's weird for a grown man to spray this stuff."

His skin is dark, and he doesn't seem to care much about sun protection.

However, the moment he finished speaking, he realized that he had misspoke, so he quickly added, "No, Xinghe, don't misunderstand. What I meant was that I'm dark-skinned and rough, so I'm not afraid of the sun. Your skin is better than mine, so you should still use sunscreen."

Knowing that Wang Lan didn't mean to look down on him, Shen Xinghe smiled and nodded, not taking it to heart.

Li Zhe pushed up his glasses, hesitated for a moment, and then took it: "Thank you, but... I'll still use some."

His skin is quite fair, so it does seem like he doesn't tolerate the sun very well.

Chen Mo also laughed and said, "Then I'll spray some too."

He was confident in his tough skin and thick flesh, having been used to being out in the sun and wind as a criminal police officer. However, to be considerate of Shen Xinghe's feelings and the current living environment, he felt that applying some sunscreen would be fine.

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the cafeteria.

The first canteen was bustling with activity during breakfast hours, with long queues forming at each window and the air filled with the aroma of various foods.

"Wow! So many people!" Wang Lan perked up at the sight. "Looks like the food in this cafeteria must be pretty good! Shall we split up and see which window is the fastest?"
