I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

night.

The students in dormitory 508 were discussing which girl in their class was the prettiest.

These guys didn't dare to say a word during class meetings, but they dared to gossip behind people's backs when they got back to the dorm.

"That girl named Zhong Chuyun is quite nice; she's pretty and has long legs." It was Ding Facai who said this.

"I think Sun Xiaoyu is pretty."

"Xiao Manshu is good too; she has the best figure in our class..."

"I think Sun Xiaoyu is pretty."

For some reason, Zhao Feiyu took a liking to Sun Xiaoyu at first sight, insisting that she was the virtuous type and suitable to be a wife.

Ding Facai rolled his eyes at Zhao Feiyu: "All you ever think about is Sun Xiaoyu, you're so useless."

Liu Zhihua, lying in bed, was very depressed.

Unlike Ding Facai and Zhao Feiyu, he was liked by a girl.

But this girl's appearance was really unsightly. How to describe it... she looked like a piece of braised pork.

Liu Zhihua didn't consider himself a person who judged by appearance; the main issue was that this girl was just too eccentric.

Damn it, who introduces themselves by saying their criteria for choosing a partner?

He gets goosebumps just thinking about that scene.

"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Qingying. I'm here at university mainly to do three things: study, become independent, and screen men."

Is it reasonable for a competitor weighing approximately 0.1 tons to call himself "Light"?

"I am a high-quality woman, so mama's boys and stingy men, please stay away. You are not within my consideration."

"It's a man's duty to earn money and support his family. My parents raised me so meticulously, not to be a maid for men..."

When Liu Zhihua heard this, he was still joking and laughing with his roommates. But the next moment, he heard his own name called.

"Liu Zhihua, you seem to have great potential, but please remember that liking me is both a blessing and a challenge for you. Please be sure to continue to work hard. Thank you."

He was numb at the time and just wanted to escape from the teaching building. He didn't want to take the elevator or the stairs.

"Hey fourth brother, stop pretending to be dead. Tell me, who's the prettiest person in our class?"

Lin Ran didn't listen carefully to their conversation, only catching the names of Sun Xiaoyu and Xiao Manshu.

"Xiao Manshu, I guess."

Ding Facai raised an eyebrow after hearing what Lin Ran said.

"See, Lao Zhao, even Lao Si agrees with what I said. You, with your naive and uncultured nature, don't know anything."

Lin Ran ignored them. He had received many friend requests today, mostly from female classmates.

There was one account with the nickname "Cloudy Whispers," but he never figured out who it belonged to, and the other person never gave him a nickname.

Lin Ran accepted the friend request.

Seeing that the other person didn't speak, he threw his phone on the bed.

I opened my laptop and clicked into the local chat room I had seen on the day I registered.

[Melancholy Boy]: Are there any girls from Zhenjiang District who want to chat?

[Lonely housewife]: Video chat, add me on QQ: 112179XXXX

[Administrator]: Posting male-related and pornographic content is prohibited!

[Lightly Dancing]: Anyone there? I'm so bored.

……

Lin Ran frowned as he observed the chat history in the chat room.

Finding a real friend to chat with in this chat room is less likely than winning the lottery.

Then, I clicked on a dating post on the Jiangning University BBS.

Male, third-year university student, sincerely seeking a partner to prepare for graduate school entrance exams.

Share a song, find a kindred spirit.

Anyone want to play badminton together on the weekend at the South Campus?

Lin Ran browsed through the recent posts that had received replies and found that almost every post had a reply several days later.

Posting, waiting for replies, sending private messages, exchanging contact information—completing a single connection can take hours or even days.

He leaned back slightly, resting on the chair, and closed his eyes in thought.

He had several entrepreneurial ideas before coming to school, but after seeing this chat room, he decided to create a social networking app for strangers.

Based on university students as the core users, the model expands outwards to surrounding areas.

Teenage boys and girls are in a period of surging hormones and have a strong desire to find a partner. The main feature of this social networking app is the "people nearby" function.

Moreover, current social networking tools for strangers are generally inefficient, so he wanted to create a social networking tool with matching functions.

College students in this age group are generally quite sensitive and don't want to talk to people they know, so the second function is anonymity.

The method for attracting traffic is very simple.

Targeting men, she pretends to be a lonely young woman and posts some messages.

My husband's away on a business trip, anyone want to chat with me? I just showered and can't sleep, so bored. My roommate's not here tonight, anyone want to watch a movie with me?

Add some revealing photos, and these lonely boys are guaranteed to scream with excitement.

When dealing with women, the approach needs to be more sophisticated.

Women are like cats; the closer you get, the farther they run. But if you truly pique their curiosity, they will come to take a look.

Therefore, using some taboo topics can actually pique a girl's curiosity more.

"Your boyfriend will never know what you talked about here..."

"Some feelings of attraction can only be shared with strangers."

"I am seen as an independent woman by everyone, but it was only when I knelt down that I felt truly free..."

Jiang Yunxin lay in bed, unable to sleep tonight.

She opened her phone, and the photo that had been circulating in the freshman group caught her eye again.

A bright girl in a pale yellow dress hugged Lin Ran tightly.

Lin Ran's back looked slightly stiff, but he did not push her away.

The comments under the photos were varied.

"A perfect match."

"Didn't they say he was dating another girl in a blue dress?"

……

Jiang Yunxin looked away from the photo and down at Li Futing, who was drawing below. Everyone else had gone to wash up, and now only the two of them were in the dormitory.

The canvas depicts a man's profile, exactly like the man in the photograph.

"Xiao Li," she called softly.

"Hmm?" Li Futing looked up and met her gaze with her amber eyes, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Looking at Li Futing's breathtakingly beautiful face, Jiang Yunxin sighed softly.

Why do you like him?

Li Futing's face flushed instantly, and her voice trembled with shyness: "I didn't..."

Her eyes showed some hesitation.

"I can only... see his face clearly."

Jiang Yunxin was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Li Futing shook her head, looked at the drawing paper, and said softly, "I have never been able to see other people's faces clearly since I was a child. Everyone's face is blurry to me."

"That's why I've never been able to draw portraits."

Her fingertips gently traced the strong lines on the drawing paper.

"Only Lin Ran was different. The moment he appeared on that rainy day, his face was instantly imprinted in my mind."

"He is the only face I can clearly recognize in my entire life."

"So how do you usually tell who's who?"

"Color. Everyone has a different color atmosphere in my perception." She paused, then added, "And smell."

At this point, the image of the girl in yellow she had met at the hospital came to mind.

The lingering scent on the brown paper bag left for Lin Ran was exactly the same as the scent on the girl in yellow.

Jiang Yunxin was stunned.

After a long pause, she finally asked a question she had never imagined: "Then... do you know what you look like?"

Li Futing remained silent, slowly shaking her head. She had never truly seen herself clearly in the mirror.

At this moment, Jiang Yunxin finally understood why this stunningly beautiful girl always walked with her head down, covered her face with her long hair, and avoided other people's gazes.

But she felt even more conflicted.

Should I tell her about this photo?

This thought pricked Jiang Yunxin like a needle.

She could imagine how Li Futing's amber eyes, which always shimmered with a faint glow, would dim instantly upon hearing the news.

No, she's too fragile, too innocent; she can't withstand this kind of impact that's both ambiguous and competitive.

Not at least not now.

She was the oldest in the dorm, and she had to protect her roommate, who was as easily startled as a newborn fawn.

Warning to Lin Ran?

Jiang Yunxin's finger hovered over Lin Ran's chat interface, where their conversation was empty.

What should she say? Question him about the photos? Warn him to stay away from Li Futing?

I typed a few lines and then deleted them.

If Lin Ran is just a complete scumbag, warnings seem meaningless and might even make him feel provoked, or even cause him to take his anger out on Li Futing.

If it's just a misunderstanding, rushing to question him would only make it seem like the people behind Li Futing are petty and making unfounded accusations, which might cause Lin Ran to look down on Li Futing.

But should we do nothing? What if Lin Ran really is the kind of person who juggles multiple girls, and Xiao Li gets more and more involved?
