We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

Ye Chen sat down cross-legged on the grass opposite him and patted the grass clippings off his hands.

"Because you were in too much of a hurry."

"Someone I just met last night is already rushing over with water to pledge their loyalty today. Who wouldn't be worried?"

"Let's not even talk about Li Meng. If you were walking down the street and a stranger suddenly handed you a bottle of water, what would your first reaction be?"

Sun Haoyu was stunned.

"...My first thought was whether the water had been drugged."

"Right?"

Ye Chen plucked a blade of grass from the ground and twirled it twice between his fingers.

"You need to lay the groundwork for the relationship first."

"The military training lasts for two weeks. Get to know her, chat a bit, and build basic trust. Then, use details to win her over."

"This is called taking things step by step, not throwing out a trump card right from the start."

Sun Haoyu sniffed, took a big gulp of plum juice, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

"Do I still have a chance?"

"Yes," Ye Chen said with certainty.

"If she really had no feelings for you at all, she wouldn't have blushed on the spot. She hesitated, but the occasion was too big for her to handle."

Sun Haoyu's pupils suddenly lit up.

"real?"

"Nonsense." Ye Chen stood up and patted the bits of grass off his pants.

"But you'd better tone it down from now on, and don't do that 100-meter sprint delivery stunt again."

"Let's observe for a few days first. During military training, we can get along normally. When the time is right, I'll tell you what to do next."

Sun Haoyu suddenly sprang up from the grass, causing the ground to tremble.

He grabbed Ye Chen's arms with both hands and shook them hard twice.

"Old Ye! I'll follow you for life!"

"Alright, alright, let go, you're going to break my arm."

Lu Wenbo watched in stunned silence and nudged Chen Zhiqiang with his elbow.

"Do you think Old Ye had a hundred girlfriends in his past life? How come he knows everything?"

Counselor Xu Man walked over with a megaphone and called each class to the gymnasium to collect their military training uniforms.

The team regrouped and moved towards the stadium.

Sun Haoyu mingled in the crowd, still looking dejected, but at least he was no longer the zombie he had been just moments before.

Dozens of boxes of camouflage uniforms were piled up in the gymnasium, distributed according to student ID numbers.

Ye Chen received a set of XXL-sized military training uniform after receiving his student ID number slip.

The four of them tried on the sizes right there in the stands.

The quality of these military training uniforms is worrying; the fabric is as stiff as a sack, and loose threads are flying everywhere.

Sun Haoyu looked like a green gasoline can when he wore it, while Lu Wenbo was as thin as a bamboo pole, his clothes hanging loosely on his body.

Ye Chen put on his coat, zipped it up to his chest, and casually rolled up the sleeves to his elbows.

His broad shoulders and narrow waist somehow managed to make this cheap camouflage outfit, which cost only a few dozen yuan, look like high-end menswear.

He put one hand in his pocket and looked down to straighten his collar.

Several girls who had just received their clothes kept turning around, whispering to each other, and suppressed laughter kept coming over.

Lu Wenbo tugged at his baggy trouser leg and said sourly, "This world is so damn unfair. Why does he look like he's on a runway in a rag?"

Sun Haoyu was still brooding over the failed water delivery that morning, and sat dejectedly on the steps, not responding.

After stuffing their clothes into a bag, the four of them walked along the tree-lined path, intending to familiarize themselves with the campus environment.

"The cafeteria is on the east side, the hot water room is behind Building 2, and the courier point is at the south gate..."

Lu Wenbo held a campus map in his hand, muttering to himself as he walked.

Ye Chen stopped in front of the largest Lianhua supermarket on campus.

"Let's go in and buy something."

Lu Wenbo rolled up the map: "Okay, let's buy a few bottles of iced tea, it's unbearably hot today."

The air conditioning in the supermarket was turned up very high.

At the start of the semester, the aisles were packed with new students buying daily necessities.

Lu Wenbo headed straight for the beverage section.

Ye Chen didn't take a basket, but went straight to the household goods section at the back of the supermarket.

Chen Zhiqiang obediently followed behind Ye Chen.

Seeing Ye Chen stop in front of the rows of colorful shelves, Chen Zhiqiang's face instantly turned bright red.

This is the women's products section.

The shelves were filled with sanitary napkins of various brands.

Ye Chen remained expressionless, glanced around the shelf, and directly reached out and grabbed two packs of Sofy Extra Long Night Use.

The large pink lettering on the packaging bag was particularly eye-catching under the incandescent light.

Chen Zhiqiang gasped and unconsciously took a half step back.

"Ye Chen... what are you going to do with this?"

Ye Chen ignored him, turned around and walked to the cosmetics section across the street, picked out a few bottles of Mentholatum high SPF sunscreen, and grabbed them all in his hand.

Just then, Sun Haoyu and Lu Wenbo arrived with drinks.

Sun Haoyu immediately spotted the two pink unidentified objects in Ye Chen's hand.

He rubbed his eyes, leaned closer to take a look, and his massive body shuddered violently.

Holy crap!

Sun Haoyu's shout was so loud that several girls picking out items around him turned around in unison.

Lu Wenbo reacted quickly, covering Sun Haoyu's mouth and growling in a low voice, "What are you yelling about!"

Sun Haoyu pulled his hand away, pointed at what Ye Chen was holding, and stammered, "Old Ye, you... do you have some kind of special fetish?"

Lu Wenbo then saw clearly what Ye Chen was holding, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Wait, buddy, why are you buying this? As a gift?"

Ye Chen tossed the sanitary napkin in his hand and calmly uttered three words: "For my own use."

For personal use?!

These three words completely crushed the other three people in dormitory 417.

Sun Haoyu imagined the scene and got goosebumps all over his body.

Ye Chen took the items and turned to walk towards the cashier.

It's peak checkout time right now, and the line is over ten meters long, mostly filled with women.

Ye Chen stood at the back of the line, holding two packs of overnight sanitary napkins and two bottles of sunscreen in his hands. He stood up straight and looked calm.

The girls in front of him in line turned around and glanced at him. They were stunned at first, then quickly turned their heads away, their shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

"That's so embarrassing."

Lu Wenbo pulled Sun Haoyu and Chen Zhiqiang back three meters in unison.

The three people pretended to be examining the Wrigley's gum on the shelf, almost burying their heads in the shelf.

"I don't know him, and you shouldn't talk to him," Lu Wenbo warned in a low voice.

Sun Haoyu nodded repeatedly: "This hobby is indeed beyond my comprehension."

The line moved forward little by little.

When it was Ye Chen's turn, the cashier glanced at the items on the counter, then looked up at the handsome young man.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then picked up the barcode scanner and scanned it twice.

"Two hundred and thirty-eight yuan and fifty cents."

Ye Chen handed over the money: "Auntie, please put it in a black bag."

The older woman understood immediately.

Pull out an opaque black plastic bag from under the counter.

She deftly packed the sanitary napkin inside, not forgetting to give him a look that said, "This young man is quite sensible."

Ye Chen took the change and the plastic bag, carrying them with one hand, and turned to look at the three people who were still examining the chewing gum.

"I'm gone."

Stepping out of the supermarket, a wave of heat hit me.

Lu Wenbo finally couldn't hold back any longer and leaned in to ask in a low voice, "Old Ye, what exactly are you buying this thing for? Do you really have that kind of fetish?"
