603 Dorm.
Zhao Shaoyang's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and his face showed a decadent yet savage expression:
"Damn it, you dare to mess with me, I'll beat you to a pulp."
On the monitor, in the CS map Blood, Zhao Shaoyang controlled his character to turn out from a corner.
As soon as he slightly showed his head, he was taken down by a sniper.
"Ah! Who the hell is winning this game!"
The expression on his face was worse than death, and then he skillfully pressed ALT+F4.
He was afraid he'd smash the computer if he continued playing.
"Fourth bro, you're not playing anymore? Can I borrow your computer?"
Wang Lei saw Zhao Shaoyang close his laptop and immediately leaned over, saying with a fawning smile.
Zhao Shaoyang was annoyed, so he turned his head ungraciously and glared at Wang Lei:
"No, you can't. Damn it, last time I wasn't in the dorm, I came back and found unexplained white liquid caked on the computer screen."
Wang Lei's eyes darted away guiltily,
"It wasn't me who did it, how would I know?"
Zhao Shaoyang snorted,
"The three of them went to class, and my second brother and I are never in the dorm all day. If it wasn't you who touched the computer, who else could it be? And you know my computer password."
"Oh, I'll bring you lunch tomorrow, alright?"
Wang Lei skillfully changed the subject.
Zhao Shaoyang then stopped talking.
In those days, there was no such thing as food delivery, and climbing up and down for meals every day was the worst.
"Let's be clear first, don't open drive E."
"I'll just check Renrenwang, nothing else."
Wang Lei said "okay" with his mouth, happily took the laptop, and typed in the Renrenwang website address.
Renrenwang had recently become extremely popular in the dorm.
Wang Lei hadn't been holed up in the dorm reading novels these past few days; he went to internet cafes during the day and scrolled Renrenwang in the dorm at night.
Skillfully entering his favorite posts, Wang Lei looked at the beauties from the sports institute on the screen, his eyes shining.
Zhao Shaoyang walked over and sneered,
"Your taste is really quite special. Although this girl looks pretty good, if you look at the muscles on her arms, she could crush you like an ant."
Dong Tinghui watched from the side and chuckled:
"Pot calling the kettle black, you think you're much better than him? As soon as there's a halfway decent girl, you're always replying below asking for QQ."
Zhao Shaoyang broke into a sweat, his face instantly fell:
"What do you know? This is called casting a wide net and selective fishing, which was emphasized in 'The Love Manual' that Brother Chen taught us last time."
Just then, Chen Pingjiang walked into the dorm carrying roasted skewers packed from Xiao Chen BBQ,
"Are you talking bad about me? I heard it from afar."
Wang Lei saw the BBQ, stopped scrolling through posts, and excitedly rubbed his hands,
"Brother Chen is still the best, treating everyone to BBQ again."
Chen Pingjiang smiled without speaking.
Anyway, it was going to be thrown out, wasting time was shameful, it was also good to bring it back to feed the dog.
"Brother Chen, why did I see those photos of beautiful women you took with your camera last time posted on Renrenwang?"
Zhao Shaoyang asked.
Chen Pingjiang changed into slippers and replied,
"They were prepared for the website, where else would I post them if not on Renrenwang?"
"What the heck?"
"Renrenwang is yours?"
Everyone was astonished.
Chen Pingjiang had made another big move without a sound.
Zhao Shaoyang felt that Chen Pingjiang was showing off again,
"Brother Chen, you're so ambitious, it makes us brothers seem so incompetent."
Dong Tinghui also agreed, asking,
"Old Chen, what's your net worth now? You have a BBQ shop and Renrenwang."
Afraid of brothers doing poorly, and afraid of brothers driving Land Rovers.
This sentence was the most authentic portrayal of Dong Tinghui's inner feelings at that moment.
They entered university on the same day, and in just two short months, the gap had widened more and more.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"What net worth? My pockets are cleaner than my face right now. In a couple of days, I'll have to rely on you guys for relief."
Guo Dewen looked disbelieving,
"Second brother, when I passed Xiao Chen BBQ tonight, the business was unbelievably good. If you're poor, what are we?"
Seeing that these little brothers didn't believe him, Chen Pingjiang was too lazy to talk nonsense.
If he said too much, it would sound like he was deliberately feigning poverty.
Zhao Shaoyang suddenly blurted out,
"Brother Chen, will you become a big boss in the future? That way, I'll have bragging rights later, saying Chen Pingjiang and I were roommates."
"I'll write an exciting novel from second brother's perspective in the future, it will definitely become a hit. With a successful career and beautiful women."
...
In the girls' dorm, Cong Nini happily scrolled through Renrenwang, browsing her own photos in the posts, utterly satisfied no matter how she looked at them.
"The class monitor really took them beautifully, much better than the photo shoots I used to have at the photo studio."
Cong Nini looked at the series of flattering replies below, feeling as refreshed as if she had eaten a ginseng fruit, her heart practically bursting with joy.
Today, some boys had already asked her classmates for her QQ number.
Zhang Xinyue, on the opposite bunk, couldn't stand this and pouted, sulking alone.
"That jerk, it's fine to take photos of other girls, but why Cong Nini? Is he deliberately trying to annoy me?"
Zhang Xinyue hadn't seen Chen Pingjiang for more than half a month since returning from the National Day holiday, except for one message exchanged about taking photos for Cong Nini; they had no other interactions.
Hearing that he generally didn't even go to class, Zhang Xinyue felt quite agitated.
She wanted to see Chen Pingjiang, but didn't want to make the first move.
Seeing Cong Nini showing off made Zhang Xinyue even more uncomfortable.
"Straightforward" Yu Tingting couldn't stand Cong Nini's self-love and vanity:
"The class monitor didn't just take pictures of you alone, you're just one of the 'tool people'."
Cong Nini was happy, but her face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
The second person she disliked most in the dorm was Yu Tingting, whose little mouth would always nag her for no reason.
Sometimes she just pretended not to hear.
"What do you know? Doesn't this precisely show that the class monitor also approves of my appearance, otherwise why wouldn't he call you to take pictures?"
Wang Liwen quickly came over to mediate:
"Everyone, say less, lest people laugh at us."
She also had a headache; she always had to be the peacemaker for no reason.
Yu Tingting seemed straightforward, but in reality, she just looked down on Cong Nini.
Cong Nini and Zhang Xinyue never spoke to each other either, making the remaining three of them caught in the middle feel terribly uncomfortable.
"If you're afraid of being laughed at, then don't say anything, Yu Tingting, clarify what you just said. How exactly did I offend you, always being sarcastic all day long?"
Wang Liwen's attempt to mediate only made Cong Nini's temper flare up.
Shedding her usual delicate demeanor in front of boys, Cong Nini put her hands on her hips and glared at Yu Tingting.
Yu Tingting was no pushover, and another sentence almost choked Cong Nini to death:
"Zhang Xinyue is much prettier than you, but the class monitor didn't take pictures of her either. He hid Zhang Xinyue, but he's very happy to let you show your face, hehe, those who know, know."
"Ah!"
Yu Tingting's words were like a murderous knife, completely shattering Cong Nini's composure.
Although she desperately wanted to deny it, she had to admit that Yu Tingting was telling the truth.
Zhang Xinyue was just enjoying the drama, but when she heard Yu Tingting call her name, she was confused as to how she got dragged into this too.
However, Yu Tingting's words were pleasant to her ears, making her secretly delighted.
Wang Liwen sighed, covering her forehead with her hand.
She couldn't control it at all; let them argue it out.
Maybe they'd become friends after a fight.
"None of your business, you're just jealous of me!"
Cong Nini slammed her water cup onto the table in defiance.
"I'm not jealous of you, I admire you. I admire your self-love in thinking the class monitor likes you, and I admire you eating with a sophomore in the morning, and a junior in the afternoon, not spending any money all day."
Cong Nini was going crazy; she never argued like this normally, she was no match for Yu Tingting at all.
"If you're so capable, you go too. I'm just afraid no one would be willing to treat you to a meal, right?"
Zhang Xinyue couldn't just stand by and watch the drama anymore, so she tried to persuade,
"Tingting, stop talking. Nini, don't be angry either."
"You don't need to play the good guy."
Unable to win against Yu Tingting, Cong Nini had nowhere to vent her anger, especially after Yu Tingting's remark "Zhang Xinyue is much prettier than you," which completely broke her defense.
Normally, when facing Zhang Xinyue, she always felt a bit insecure or even inferior, which led her to intentionally or unintentionally connect with other classmates to isolate Zhang Xinyue.
Now, it was like a broken jar, throwing caution to the wind.
"You clearly know the relationship between Xinyue and the class monitor, yet you always intentionally or unintentionally flirt with the class monitor, not knowing how to avoid suspicion at all."
"What did I flirt with? Didn't I say before that I didn't think highly of him?" Cong Nini argued.
Yu Tingting sneered:
"You always flirt with those boys, then reject them when they pursue you, keeping them dangling like that, using others' pursuit to showcase your charm and achieve inner satisfaction. But unfortunately, the class monitor doesn't think highly of you."
Cong Nini froze, then became furious:
"If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart. Hmph, just you wait, when Chen Pingjiang and I get together, I'll invite you to our wedding banquet."
After saying that, she turned her head and said unpleasantly to Zhang Xinyue,
"Let's have a competition and see who wins."
Wang Liwen looked at this scene speechlessly, how did the situation get so out of hand?
"You think this is the feudal era, fighting over men? I'm truly insane."
The other two girls, who were closer to Cong Nini, enthusiastically waved their forearms to cheer her on:
"Nini, go Nini!"
At this moment, Zhang Xinyue's voice came out with a somewhat heavy nasal tone:
"I don't need to compete with you. He was my first love, he just stopped loving me later."
With that, she silently walked out of the dorm.
Leaving the other girls staring at each other.
At this point, Cong Nini had calmed down.
Even Zhang Xinyue, whom Chen Pingjiang could turn on so easily, what about herself...?
Yu Tingting also realized she had been somewhat impulsive and quickly put on her shoes and chased after her, feeling distressed.
