After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

The start of the opening ceremony was no different from the start of military training; it was just a bunch of empty talk and official speeches from school leaders.

I've heard enough of this from elementary school to high school. Sometimes they even invite brainwashing experts to say things like how hard it is for parents, making the students cry their eyes out and repent for ten minutes or so.

As soon as the speech ended, he immediately reverted to his carefree self and went back to having fun as usual.

These kinds of shady practices don't exist in university.

However, after the leaders finished speaking, an extra performance was introduced, which took place at night, not during the day.

Even so, a morning still passed, and you can imagine how much official nonsense the leaders spouted.

One morning, the sun was blazing overhead and it was unbearably hot. As soon as the party ended, Bai Yu and the other two ran to the vending machine to buy water.

When they arrived at the vending machine, they saw Su Rongxue scanning a QR code with her phone, her careful movements as if she were afraid of damaging the vending machine.

Chapter 71 Dinner Party (Second Update, Please Vote)

Looking at Su Rongxue, who seemed very cautious—or rather, that was just her personality—she acted as if she was always very careful about everything.

With people queuing behind her, Su Rongxue clearly started to feel embarrassed and flustered.

I don't know if the vending machine has a mind of its own or if the timing is just wrong, but whenever there's a queue behind me, people scanning the QR code always seem to run into some kind of problem.

For example, Su Rongxue at this moment clearly scanned the code and paid, but the vending machine didn't dispense water for a long time.

Although it was only a short while, maybe just a few seconds, it was extremely agonizing for Su Rongxue.

As the seconds ticked by, Su Rongxue felt an urge to turn away and leave immediately, no longer wanting to buy the water.

However, Bai Yu was standing right behind Su Rongxue, so he had no idea what expression the girl had or what she was thinking. Seeing that the vending machine wasn't producing anything for a long time, he kicked it.

Perhaps some things are just naturally itchy and need to be disciplined; they only function properly when you step on them.

"Here's your water."

Bai Yu bent down, took Su Rongxue's bottle of water from under the vending machine, and handed it to her. Without giving the girl a second glance, Bai Yu turned around and started scanning the code to buy water.

Su Rongxue, always a polite girl, didn't care whether Bai Yu paid attention to her or not. She quietly thanked her before turning and leaving.

The opening ceremony was held in the morning, and there were no classes in the afternoon. Naturally, the four of them, Bai Yu and his friends, were bored and went online or slept.

It wasn't until 6 p.m. that the class dinner was scheduled, and the students gathered at the school gate, convened by the male class monitor, Lu Dawei.

Bai Yu's class monitor, Lu Dawei, was the same class monitor from the previous life. Just like his name, he sounded and looked like an honest and simple boy. He had a short buzz cut, was about 1.75 meters tall, and always had a smiling face, as if he had endless things to laugh about.

Moreover, Lu Dawei is a very kind person. He will almost never refuse to lend money, water cards, or meal cards to anyone he knows.

Because of this personality, he has actually suffered quite a few losses. Only Bai Yu and his roommates have never taken advantage of this class monitor.

"Hey class monitor, you're smiling so happily, do you have a crush on one of the girls in our class?"

Li Cheng was also a rather talkative person, and within a few days of the class arriving, he had become familiar with almost all the boys.

They were extremely familiar with Lu Dawei, the class monitor.

Bai Yu has four people in her dorm room. Lu Dawei lives in the dorm next door and sometimes he would come over to visit, and even stay overnight on an empty bed in their dorm room.

When playing basketball, if Li Cheng couldn't get Bai Yu to join him, he would call Lu Dawei instead.

Lu Dawei also enjoys fitness. Although he has an average-looking face, he has an extremely strong physique with eight-pack abs, chest muscles, and side muscles.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just because you smile doesn't mean you've got your eye on a girl."

Lu Dawei looked somewhat simple and honest when he said this.

However, his honesty and simplicity did not mean he was incompetent; Lu Dawei never failed to do anything assigned by his counselor.

Bai Yu took out her phone and checked the time: 6:13. Everyone had taken a taxi to the self-service hot pot restaurant they had booked, and they had to come back to the playground at 9:00 to watch the senior students' welcome performance.

"Where is the location? We should probably take a taxi and head out now!"

Bai Yu calmly said this while holding her phone.

Seeing this, Lu Dawei smiled and nodded, then told Bai Yu and the other three where the dinner was to be held. He then told them to go ahead first, and that he would arrive shortly after.

The hot pot restaurant isn't actually that far from the school, about ten kilometers away. It's definitely a long walk, but a short taxi ride would be very convenient.

When Bai Yu and her three friends arrived at the hot pot restaurant, most of their classmates were already there.

As agreed, they would start eating at 6:30, and Bai Yu and her three companions arrived right on time, as usual.

Of course, there were others even slower than Bai Yu and his group of four, namely Lu Dawei and the two girls he was with.

Bai Yu forgot the names of the two girls, but she clearly remembered that they were the type who liked to have fun.

In his previous life, whenever Bai Yu went clubbing, these two girls would always be there, drinking, playing cards, and smoking.

Although they were not particularly good-looking, they dressed very provocatively. Over their four years of university, these two girls had boyfriends ranging from senior students and teachers to junior high school students.

In any case, she is even worse than Bai Yu, that scumbag.

Bai Yu and her three roommates were among the last to arrive at the gathering, as were the two girls and Lu Dawei.

There were exactly seven people sitting at one table.

Of course, the two girls also liked sitting with Bai Yu, not for any other reason than that Bai Yu was handsome.

"Hi Baiyu, can I sit next to you?"

One of the two girls, with flaxen hair and long, wavy hair, smiled and asked Bai Yu this question.

Bai Yu looked the girl up and down. She was wearing a very short skirt and her top was dressed like underwear, which was extremely cool and revealing, and the way she was covering up was alluring.

However, looking at her face, she was just average, very ordinary, and her makeup was quite heavy.

Compared to Su Rongxue, who was sitting obediently surrounded by several girls in the distance, it was as if they were different between a courtesan and a rich young lady.

Staring is inherently impolite, especially since Bai Yu wasn't even trying to cover herself up.

But the girl didn't seem displeased at all; instead, she laughed even harder until Bai Yu said something.

"Can't!"

Bai Yu could reject Su Rongxue cleanly and decisively, let alone this girl whose name Bai Yu had already forgotten; there was no need to even consider her.

However, this rejection will lead to an awkward situation. Not only will the girl feel awkward, but Feng Zhou, Li Cheng, and Wen Chiqi, who are sitting next to Bai Yu, will also feel awkward.

The girl's smile, which had been on her face, faltered after Bai Yu's words. She was caught in a dilemma: whether to sit or not.

Fortunately, class monitor Lu Dawei was good at reading people's expressions. As soon as Bai Yu said those words, he stood up and smiled at the girl.

"Oh dear, Bai Yu said earlier that we boys should sit together, but maybe he didn't explain clearly. Sorry, Yi Zitong, you two girls can sit together, and Bai Yu and I will sit together!"

Bai Yu didn't say anything to Lu Dawei, who stood up to ease the awkwardness. The girl naturally didn't say anything either, and awkwardly smiled as she switched seats with Lu Dawei.

However, not saying anything doesn't mean that goodwill won't turn into badwill. Yi Zitong, with her big wavy hair, is quite a restless girl.

She was originally quite interested in Bai Yu, this handsome guy, and even thought it would be better if they could date, or at least ask him out.

But now, not only has her goodwill vanished, she's even starting to resent Bai Yu. Chapter 72: She's not qualified, nor dare she be qualified! (Seeking votes)

Being resented by Yi Zitong is not a good thing.

Don't let her ordinary looks fool you; she's got a lot of fun to do. If she wants to deal with Bai Yu, all she has to do is lift her leg.

Even if Bai Yu doesn't like others, everyone has their own preferences, right?

But that's all in the future. Judging from the current situation, if Bai Yu doesn't change the people at this table, it will be very awkward even if they eat.

Bai Yu, with his thick skin, could tolerate this awkwardness, but asking him to change tables was out of the question.

Therefore, it can only be Yi Zitong, the one with the big waves, who has switched places.

Yi Zitong smiled, got up, and pulled another girl to another table, pretending nothing had happened, and asked to change seats.

But the first thing they asked about was Su Rongxue's table.

If you suggested going to another table, that might not work out, but if you asked Su Rongxue to change seats, she wouldn't refuse.

Su Rongxue is also known in the class for her angelic heart. If there is any difficulty, she will never refuse to help others, let alone just changing seats.

However, if Su Rongxue were to sit at Bai Yu's table, her roommate and best friend Xia Rong would have to follow, since the table she was moving to was Bai Yu's, which she disliked the most.

The hot pot restaurant was decorated in a very Chinese style, with square tables. Bai Yu sat next to Feng Zhou, while Wen Chiqi sat with Li Cheng.

Su Rongxue and Xia Rong sat next to each other, leaving only class monitor Lu Dawei to enjoy a private corner.

However, Su Rongxue was connected with Bai Yu, meaning they were right next to each other.

Previously, Yi Zitong, with her big wavy hair, was just spouting nonsense; if she were to sit down, she wouldn't be sitting on the same bench as Bai Yu.

She's gotten used to flirting with guys this way and always tries to project an image that she considers gentle and cute.

She truly never expected Bai Yu to say "no" so directly; this was the first time she had ever encountered such a rebuff in so long.

Logically speaking, even if a handsome guy has no feelings for a girl, he shouldn't be so rude, but Bai Yu is like that, so what can anyone do about it?

If you're going to eat, you should eat. Bai Yu paid fifty silver dollars, so he has to eat something to take back with him, right?

So he only eats meat and not vegetables at all.

Li Cheng and his two companions were the same; they only ate meat and never vegetables.

At the other tables, everyone was laughing and chatting, using the excuse of eating to get to know each other and share their interesting stories. But at Bai Yu's table, it was all just a pretext for classmates to get to know each other and actually eat!

Perhaps because Bai Yu is a local, she has eaten a lot of hot pot and similar dishes, and has gotten used to them.

But Su Rongxue wasn't used to it. She only ate a little bit and her eyes welled up with tears from the spiciness. She held a bottle of yogurt and refused to eat anything else from the spicy hot pot.

Bai Yu certainly knew that Su Rongxue couldn't eat spicy food, but he didn't care too much. He got up, took a bowl, and went to get rice.

As for getting to know everyone in the class, Bai Yu already knew who she could befriend and who she couldn't.

University is not like junior high or high school, where you can be very close to your classmates even after two years of schooling, just because you ate a meal together once or played a game together once.

In college, you only truly make friends with a handful of people in your dorm room; most of the time, it's just superficial friendship, a fleeting relationship.

You might be classmates in college, but once you leave college, you're nothing to each other anymore.

Therefore, Bai Yu only cultivates deep friendships with a few people who are worth making. As for those who are not worth it, perhaps in his previous life Bai Yu would have just smiled and pretended to be friendly, but now he feels a bit tired of it.
