I want to have a normal campus romance

"I think you can work as a private investigator to earn some extra money in the future."

Even I didn't expect that Liu Tongtong could find so many useful things from so much scattered information. To be honest... After hearing this little girl's analysis, I just felt a chill on my back.

With this girl's intelligence, it is not certain that any scumbag could deceive her. She could probably see through the other party at a glance. I'm afraid that if they saw this girl, they would have to take a detour.

No wonder, although both are called school beauties, Bai Yun is more popular than Liu Tongtong. This kind of insight... anyone who sees it would be scared, right?

"Brother..."

"Uh, huh?"

When I heard Liu Tongtong's drawn-out voice, I shuddered all over, and my wandering consciousness was immediately pulled back.

"Why are you still single?"

"......"

I don't know why, but I just felt like I had suffered 10,000 points of critical damage in my heart. Especially after seeing the look in this little girl's eyes, I felt that this damage had to be followed by the characteristic of true damage.

"There are so many girls around you. If you want... you should have a girlfriend by now."

Liu Tongtong said this while looking at the scenery outside the restaurant's glass window, her hands constantly playing with the cup in her hand, and asked me casually.

"Dating is not something that can be successful just because I want it to be. It would be great if it were that easy. Besides... even if we are in a relationship, what will happen? Will we be dumped if we find out that we are not suitable?"

"Oh? Is your view on love so conservative?"

"I just don't want to make the same mistake again."

In fact, most relationships nowadays are a process of trial and error. The girlfriend may be this one this month and another one next month. If they find each other interesting, they stay together, but if they don’t get along, they break up.

There is no right or wrong in the view of love. Everyone's lifestyle and attitude are different. I will not blame others out of indignation. It's just that in such a relationship, people will inevitably become numb and worn out.

These things are actually invisible, just like after the first love, no one will devote everything to a person regardless of the cost again.

"By the way...why aren't you in a relationship? There are a lot of people chasing after you, right?"

In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming so depressing, I took the initiative to bring the topic to Liu Tongtong. To be honest... I have always been curious about this little girl.

Especially when I think back to the first time we met, when she said she would take the initiative to help me pursue Bai Yun, I felt even more curious. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Even though it seemed like a very equal transaction, after spending more time with her, I found that this girl was quite smart. If she wanted to, she would definitely find a way to deal with that part-time job in the bar.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Have you not thought about it?"

I asked with some confusion after hearing his words, and after hearing what I said, she nodded silently.

Haven’t decided whether to have a relationship?

Well... that's true. After all, this girl is very smart and has good conditions. I guess if she wants to find a boyfriend, it must be someone she likes. You will never be able to get her if you chase her.

This makes me a little curious. If she falls in love one day, what kind of person will her boyfriend be? I would really like to ask him for advice.

After that...we chatted occasionally while eating the Western food we ordered. I have to say that the atmosphere and style of this Western restaurant are really good.

However, this little atmosphere was broken by the noisy sounds around after a while. I frowned and turned my head, and found that there was a group of foreigners sitting there chatting and even whistling. They seemed to be about the same age as us.

Foreigners in China are generally concentrated in several coastal metropolises in the south. Although Jinhai is also a coastal city and is close to the capital, there are actually not many foreigners.

As expected, they should be international students from a university in the university town, but to be honest... I don’t have a very good impression of these international students.

It's not that I am too prejudiced. It's just because the only fight I had in college was with a foreign student. What's more, the personal qualities of some foreign students in China are not high.

In addition, domestic universities generally give them special preferential treatment. Not only do they have special dormitories and canteens for international students, but it is also easy to get scholarships, making them feel like the privileged class in the university.

The fat guy even boasted to me that he wanted to go abroad and then be admitted to Jinhai University as an international student, so that he could have a good time.

"Brother, I'm done eating... Let's go."

Just as I was looking at those foreign students and complaining silently in my heart, Liu Tongtong's voice sounded in my ears. I turned around and found that she had stood up from her seat.

Seeing this, I stood up and took out my cell phone to check the time. I found that time was a bit tight. No wonder Liu Tongtong acted so quickly.

I exhaled a breath, then followed Liu Tongtong out of the western restaurant. Before leaving, I took another look at those flamboyant foreign students. I don't know why... I always had a bad feeling in my heart.

PS: I will try to update as much as possible during the National Day holiday, because it is very miserable... There are only three days off for the National Day holiday, but we have to attend classes for eleven consecutive days. The school said that the holiday will be made up during the winter vacation (don't believe it), so I was completely left alone.

A new month...I hope everyone will vote for us!

Chapter 251 Shopping Guide

　 To be honest, I haven't really been around the shopping mall. Most of the time I was wandering around the restaurant floor, figuring out which one was more affordable. I hardly ever went to the clothing area of ​​the shopping mall.

Even if I was lucky enough to come here a few times, I just came here to find the elevator. I rarely go shopping here. After all, most of my clothes are bought online, which is cheap and convenient.

There are not many pedestrians in the clothing area. Most of the people shopping here are young people. After all, the clothing stores here target young people as their customer base, so this is not surprising.

It may be the so-called survivor bias. The clothing stores here are aimed at young people. Plus, this is a shopping mall with a relatively well-known pedestrian street and central square next to it, so most of the people who come here are couples!

Even if they are not a couple, they are all shopping together with a few girlfriends. Of course, there are exceptions... For example, Liu Tongtong and I are not a couple, but we still go shopping together.

"Brother...that store seems pretty good, let's go check it out!"

"Ah? That store isn't..."

"Let's go!"

"Ehhhhh-"

Before I could say anything, Liu Tongtong forcibly dragged me towards the clothing store next door. I looked at the sign of the clothing store in front of me and sighed.

What about buying Hanfu?

No matter how you look at this clothing store, it doesn't look like it sells Hanfu, right?

"Oh...I'm so stupid, really."

As we all know, girls never shop for just one thing when they go shopping.

If a man buys something, he checks the shopping list, then looks for the item, and finally checks out and leaves.

But girls' shopping is the opposite. Most girls will choose to walk around. Even if the things around them have nothing to do with what they want to buy, they will still be attracted by the nearby shops.

The most important thing is that this attribute has nothing to do with age. Even if you become a parent, this attribute will not change at all.

So...when shopping with women, everyone will fall into a shopping cycle called "infinite duration", which can be as short as a few hours or as long as half a day. The most important thing is that they seem to have a built-in perpetual motion machine, as if they will never feel tired.

Faced with this action, men have almost no say in this matter, whether facing their girlfriends or their mothers. The only thing they can do... is to find the nearest chair.

Although I wanted to finish the job quickly and leave, I took the words back when they came to my lips. After all, based on my experience of being with this girl for so long, it is not a good idea to make this little devil unhappy.

Of course, none of this is important. What is important is that when you go shopping with a girl, you will definitely hear a sentence:

"What do you think of me wearing this dress?"

"Hmmmm, it looks pretty good."

At this moment, as expected, the classic question and answer of a young couple rang in my ears. Almost all girls who go out shopping will ask the people around them what they think of this dress.

Perhaps for most people, this is the so-called standard answer. After all, agreeing with a girl will not cause her to be disgusted. However, the disadvantage of this solution is...

I turned my head slightly and saw that the girl didn't say anything after hearing what the boy said. She just put the clothes in her hand back, then found another piece of clothes, and then asked him again:

"What do you think of this one?"

"Quite good looking."

"Hmm...what about this one?"

“It’s pretty nice too.”

"Could you please not be so perfunctory?"

really......

At this moment, an electronic broadcast sounded in my mind -

The exam is over and the result is failed.

I silently felt sad for that guy in my heart. If we follow the inertial thinking, a girl who carefully chooses clothes must want you to praise her, and she will happily check out and the shopping will end there.

But in fact, girls are indecisive when choosing clothes. They look for a long time and compare for a long time, but in the end... they don’t actually buy them.

Complimenting someone on how pretty something is is fine once or twice, but if it happens too often it starts to seem a bit perfunctory. And when girls go shopping, they won't just pick out clothes once or twice.

Alas, I am still too young.

But soon I lost the feeling of sighing, because——

"Hey, little brother, how do you think this dress looks on me?"

At this moment, Liu Tongtong came towards me with the clothes she had picked out. The situation suddenly changed. I even heard the sound of an electronic announcement in my ears.

The exam begins...

Well, generally speaking, people with a little experience will work hard on their choice of words and sentence structure to make their words appear less perfunctory. Although this can avoid the crisis, it can only get a passing score.

Because in this way, the more you talk... the happier the girl will be, and the happier she is, the more she will want to go shopping, causing the shopping to become endless, and the shopping will only stop when the girl is tired or her enthusiasm fades.

Of course, there is also a simple and crude way, which is to buy it directly! But the problem is that most people are ordinary people like me, where can we get so much spare money!

If I had money, would I have this worry?

It seemed to be Liu Tongtong's voice, which was a bit abrupt in this clothing store playing light music. Or maybe it was because the conversation was so familiar. After hearing the girl's words, the young couple turned their heads towards me and cast their glances at us.

Humph, let me show you how real “professional players” operate!

"Well, I feel like this dress is too plain."

"Well... it seems a little bit."

The so-called secret of ending shopping is nothing more than two points. Either you kill the other party's enthusiasm for shopping, or you satisfy the other party's mood for shopping. The former takes too long, while the latter requires some skills.

As the saying goes, "in order to encourage, you must first suppress." Only by pressing down the emotional spring and making it bounce back can you give the other person a great sense of satisfaction.

"Why don't we try another store? I think the clothing store over there is pretty good."

"okay."

After hearing what I said, Liu Tongtong put back the clothes she had just picked for a long time. After all, for a girl, sometimes it takes a long time to choose, which does not necessarily mean that she really wants to buy it, especially the first piece she picked.

The reason I took her there wasn't because I suddenly felt like it, but because I had looked at the map of the shopping mall before and found that there were relatively fewer clothing stores there than on the other side.

Taking the initiative in shopping into your own hands can not only help you make corresponding adjustments better, but also prevent the other party from feeling that you are being perfunctory or even feeling negative about it. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, I silently glanced at the young couple standing not far away. I saw that guy looking at me with envy and admiration, and I just sighed.

Isn’t it amazing? I got this by walking so many times and breaking my legs.

Chapter 252: Love Battlefield

"Hey, little brother, what do you think of this dress?"

"It doesn't quite match your temperament."

"Hmm...how about this one?"

"Not bad, but this style seems to be from last season? Do you want to take a look at the new ones?"

"It seems so."

I skillfully put the clothes in Liu Tongtong's hand back on the nearby hanger, while some men around who were shopping with their girlfriends looked at me with a very subtle look.

The look in his eyes was like that of a veteran soldier who had fought in the “battlefield of love” and a master who had made a name for himself. It made me feel a little embarrassed.

Although I'm not an emotional idiot, nor am I a wooden fool, I do have some experience, but as for how successful I am or how great I am... forget it.

In the past, I might have felt good about myself because of their gaze, but now... I just feel it's a bit ironic.

How should I put it? It feels like when your record is 0/21/0 and your teammates say, "Wow, you are so awesome."

Even though I knew that the way they looked at me was not meant to be mean to me, I still felt a little uncomfortable being looked at.
