In male dormitory 2232, the atmosphere was enlivened by having dinner with female dormitories, which instantly brought the boys to the same side.

"Great! I can have dinner with a girl tonight!" Cao Huiyang was the first to shout excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah, I wonder what they look like." Wei Qi rubbed his hands together, his chubby face full of anticipation.

Even Cao Huiyang, who had just insisted on finding pretty girls, had completely forgotten what he had said and was now only thinking about the social event that night.

He sat in the chair, continuing to play on his phone. This was exactly the result he wanted; at the beginning of the semester, dormitory relationships were very important, and some group activities could quickly shorten the distance between them.

But one person thought differently...

Lin Gensheng sat at his desk, head down, nervously twisting the hem of his clothes with both hands. He hadn't dared to say anything when everyone was so excited. Now that he'd calmed down, fear began to creep into his heart.

"Brother Feng..." Lin Gensheng called softly, his voice trembling slightly.

Su Yifeng looked up: "What's wrong?"

"I...can I not go?" Lin Gensheng said timidly. "The three of you can go."

"Why?" Cao Huiyang immediately turned around. "Everyone's going, how can you not go?"

Lin Gensheng's face turned bright red: "I... I don't know how to talk to girls... I'll definitely embarrass you guys."

He remembered the girl named Wang Ling, who was a "spiritual young woman".

Her disdainful look and that "country bumpkin" pierced his heart like needles. Now, the thought of having dinner with a city girl makes him shudder.

Lin Gensheng thought to himself, "My fiancée Xiaohua back home is so much better. She never looks at me like that, and she speaks so gently."

Before Su Yifeng could speak, Cao Huiyang interrupted, "What are you saying! So what if you can't speak properly? Who's born knowing how?"

Cao Huiyang walked over to Lin Gengsheng and patted him on the shoulder: "Just come along for dinner, you don't need to say a word. Just eat, you'll be full, right? Consider it a treat!"

Cao Huiyang had his own plans.

Such social events are more lively with more people. Moreover, having someone like Lin Gengsheng, an honest and simple man who blushes when he sees girls, around only highlights his wit and humor.

Without this "supporting element," wouldn't his charm in front of girls be diminished?

Although he didn't have high hopes for the quality of the girls at this social event—it's not that easy to meet beautiful girls on the first day of school.

But regardless, this is the first social event of my university life, so it's quite significant. What if there really are some good-looking ones?

Cao Huiyang had already set a goal for himself during his four years of college—to date, and to date the most beautiful girl on campus!

He spent a lot of time preparing for this goal during the summer vacation.

He accompanied his parents to various dinner parties, secretly observing how wealthy businessmen interacted with women.

Finally, he came to a simple and blunt conclusion—as long as you're willing to spend money, there's no girl you can't win over!

My three years of high school were incredibly frustrating. My family was very strict, and I received very little pocket money.

Now that he's in university, he's finally free. He's determined to enjoy his youth to the fullest and spend money to get a few beautiful girlfriends!

"Gensheng, let's go together!" Wei Qi chimed in, urging, "It's the first group activity in the dorm, it'll be so boring if you don't go!"

Wei Qi's thinking was simple: food tastes better with more people. Besides, he figured maybe some girls would like his honest and lovable personality. More people meant more opportunities.

Su Yifeng watched this scene without saying a word. He felt that whether or not to go was a personal choice, and there was no need to force anyone.

Lin Gensheng looked at Cao Huiyang and Wei Qi, feeling even more conflicted.

He was afraid of embarrassing himself in front of the girls if he went; but if he didn't go, he was afraid his roommates would think he was antisocial and that he would be isolated right after the start of the semester.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Wei Qi put her arm around his shoulder and said, "Go on, go on, it's just a meal, what's there to be afraid of? With Brother Feng here, what are you afraid of? Look how calm Brother Feng is!"

These words seemed to reassure Lin Gengsheng.

Yeah, with Brother Feng around!

With him around, what do I have to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just do what Cao Huiyang said and focus on eating!

Thinking of this, Lin Gengsheng took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and nodded heavily: "Okay... alright, I'll go."

"That's more like it!" Cao Huiyang clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Brothers, let's get moving! Dress smartly and make a good impression on the girls!"

At his command, the dormitory immediately sprang into action. These young men, all in the throes of puberty, were quite excited to be able to have a social event with the girls' dormitory right at the start of the semester.

Cao Huiyang was the quickest to act, snapping open his expensive suitcase and starting to rummage through his clothes. He had brought quite a few clothes, all designer brands.

"This one's too flashy, not sophisticated enough..." He picked up a floral shirt and shook his head.

"This one is too ordinary, it doesn't show my class..." He tossed aside another ordinary T-shirt.

"Hmm, this designer T-shirt should go well with these ripped jeans," he finally chose an outfit, "It makes me look both rich and stylish."

Wei Qi stood in front of the old mirror behind the door, looking at herself from the left and right, sucking in her stomach hard, trying to make herself look thinner.

He was deeply hurt by the experience of being mistaken for a student's parent during the day.

He secretly resolved to salvage his image this time, at least to avoid being seen as a country bumpkin again. He even secretly rubbed his hair with water, trying to tame the few stray hairs that were sticking up.

Even Lin Gensheng, who had just mustered up his courage, silently opened his large canvas bag and pulled out a plastic bag from the bottom.

Inside were the new clothes his mother had specially bought for him in the county town before he came to school—a light blue shirt and a pair of black pants.

This was his best and most presentable outfit. He planned to go to the washroom to wash his face properly and comb his hair neatly, so as not to embarrass dormitory 309, and especially not to embarrass Brother Feng.

Meanwhile, Su Yifeng, the central figure in the incident, remained completely unhurried. Watching his roommates fuss over their preparations, he figured his simple white T-shirt and grey sweatpants were perfectly fine and he didn't need to change. He continued playing on his phone, waiting for them to get ready.

Seeing that the three were still busy, Su Yifeng stood up, walked to the balcony, and closed the door behind him. It was getting dark outside, and the evening breeze felt pleasant. He took out his phone, found Song Fangjie's number, and dialed it. This woman was helping him find an office; it was only right and proper for him to call and check on things.

The phone rang a few times before being answered. Immediately, Song Fangjie's resentful voice came from the other end:

"Hey, Boss Su, you still remember to call me? I thought you were so infatuated with those girls at university that you'd completely forgotten about me, your employee!"

Su Yifeng remained silent and listened quietly.

Song Fangjie began to complain: "Do you know how tired I am today? To find you a suitable office building, I ran all over the CBD! Wearing high heels, I ran from building to building, haggling with the property management and real estate agents! My legs are about to break! Look at the time! I haven't even had a proper meal yet! And you, on the other hand, were leisurely looking at pretty girls at school, and only now do you remember to call me!"

The tone was nothing like an employee talking to their boss; it sounded more like a girlfriend throwing a tantrum.

Su Yifeng understood that when a woman is emotional, it's best to let her finish speaking first and not interrupt her.

After Song Fangjie had finished speaking and her anger had subsided somewhat, Su Yifeng finally spoke. His voice carried just the right amount of weariness: "Sister Song, you've wronged me. I haven't had a moment's rest all day. I've been registering, tidying up my dorm, and getting familiar with the environment. I've only just sat down to catch my breath. There are quite a few girls in the school, but after looking around, I really haven't found anyone who can compare to you, Sister Song, who is half beautiful and half elegant."

He first pretends to be tired and plays the victim, then compliments the other person's beauty. He's very good at this tactic.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft "humph".

"At least you can speak a few human words." Song Fangjie's tone softened noticeably.

"Alright, enough of that, let's get down to business. Today I focused on three office buildings in the city center that meet your requirements, with prices of 80 million, 130 million, and 120 million respectively. I've compiled all the relevant information, but you'll have to come and see for yourself which one to choose."

Su Yifeng answered readily, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's do it tomorrow then. I'll check the schedule in the morning and let you know when I've decided on a time. You're really efficient; asking you for help was definitely the right decision."

"Of course!" Song Fangjie smiled, clearly pleased with the compliment.

"You're so capable, your boss has to reward you properly." Su Yifeng lowered his voice, his tone slightly ambiguous.

"There's a five-star hotel near the school; I heard it's nice. Book a room tonight, and I'll go over there after my social event... to treat you properly."

"Pah!" Song Fangjie spat on the other end of the phone, but her voice involuntarily softened. "Who...who cares about a reward like that!"

"Oh?" Su Yifeng deliberately drawled, "So you mean... you don't want this reward?"

"...Hmph!" Song Fangjie paused, seemingly trying to appear calm. "I...I just wanted to experience the service at a five-star hotel in Nancheng! Not to wait for you!"

"Okay," Su Yifeng smiled, "Then let's assume that Sister Song wants to stay here and wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yifeng shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. That's how women are; they might say no, but they might not really mean it. He had long since figured out Song Fangjie's temperament.

He pushed open the balcony door and returned to his dormitory. In just a short while, the situation inside had changed again.

Wei Qi and Lin Gensheng were ready. Wei Qi changed into a slightly tight T-shirt, trying to make herself look more energetic.

Lin Gensheng put on his new clothes, buttoning his shirt tightly, paired with black trousers and shiny old leather shoes. Although he looked a little reserved, he was very clean and tidy.

Both of them had just washed their faces, their hair still wet, and they combed it back, trying to look more energetic.

Cao Huiyang was still busy. He pulled out a small round mirror from somewhere, and carefully applied hair wax to his head while facing the mirror.

He did it very carefully, muttering to himself as he wiped it on in front of the mirror:

"Hmm, really handsome..."

"That face shape, that nose, it's simply perfect..."

"He's so handsome... I wonder how many girls he'll charm..."

Wei Qi and Lin Gensheng stood behind him, watching Cao Huiyang's self-absorbed expression, trying hard to suppress their laughter until their faces turned red.

Su Yifeng leaned against the doorframe, watching the scene with great interest. Cao Huiyang fiddled with the hairstyle, adjusting it repeatedly for over twenty minutes before finally being satisfied.

"Brothers! Look, look! Am I handsome? Don't I look like Chow Yun-fat in the movies?" Cao Huiyang turned his head, looking expectantly at everyone praising him.

Wei Qi immediately chimed in, giving a thumbs-up with both hands: "Handsome! Huiyang, you're definitely the most handsome guy at Nanjing University!"

Lin Gensheng also whispered, "Handsome...very handsome..." but his tone was somewhat hesitant. He felt that Cao Huiyang's hair was too slicked back and looked a bit strange.

Finally, Cao Huiyang turned his expectant gaze to Su Yifeng, wanting to hear his evaluation. In Cao Huiyang's view, Su Yifeng's approval was the most important.

Su Yifeng was just texting Li Jiaying.

Unexpectedly, she was actually looking for a maid for herself, and she sent him a lot of photos of girls from her school, asking him what type he liked.

Su Yifeng replied, "You can't judge a book by its cover in photos; you have to meet him in person to see the real thing."

Li Jiaying immediately understood what he meant and replied that she would find an opportunity to invite those girls out for him to "interview".

Then she sent several more photos of herself dressed sexily, taking pictures in front of the bathroom mirror, in very alluring poses.

Su Yifeng had just finished looking at the photos and was about to reply when he heard Cao Huiyang calling him.

He looked up and glanced casually at Cao Huiyang. That glance almost made him burst out laughing.

Good heavens! This is no Chow Yun-fat! His hair is so slicked back and shiny, he looks like a freshly cooked braised egg!

However, Su Yifeng held back, though a hint of barely concealed a smile appeared in his eyes.

There was no need for Su Yifeng to comment; Cao Huiyang understood everything from the other's ambiguous smile.

The excited expression on his face, as if saying "Praise me!", froze instantly, then collapsed at a visible speed, and he deflated like a punctured balloon.

He immediately lost interest in hearing everyone praise his good looks.

"Damn it..." Cao Huiyang wailed inwardly, "God is so damn unfair!"

He was devastated to discover that all the hard work and careful dressing he had put in for more than half an hour was utterly insignificant compared to Su Yifeng's casual and effortless handsomeness!

Under the dormitory lights, Su Yifeng was wearing a simple white T-shirt and gray sweatpants. He had a well-proportioned figure, long legs, and a handsome face. He was pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at him.

Cao Huiyang's mood plummeted. He realized with despair that no matter how he dressed, how expensive his clothes were, or how much hair gel he used, Su Yifeng, even in his most ordinary clothes, always seemed to be a tiny bit more handsome than him!

This world that judges people by their looks is fucking infuriating!

"Let's go! It's getting late, don't keep the girls waiting!" Cao Huiyang waved his hand irritably, as if trying to dispel the frustrating thoughts, and was the first to open the dormitory door, walking out with a bit of a temper.

Su Yifeng smiled indifferently and put his phone back in his pocket.

Wei Qi quickly put his arm around the still somewhat bewildered Lin Gensheng and followed.

Su Yifeng was the last to leave the dormitory, closing the door behind him.
