Dorm Room 303.

Du Xinxin listlessly stared at her review materials for the final exams, her mind clearly elsewhere.

’Shengsheng hasn’t played games with me in days.’

Du Xinxin pouted, unhappily swinging her smooth, fair calves.

DING.

The distinct notification sound made Du Xinxin jolt.

’Shengsheng?’

Du Xinxin quickly grabbed her phone. The message was from Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng: "I’m downstairs. Sneak down by yourself."

Her fingers flew across the screen as she typed back, "Okay, okay! I’ll be right down! Wait for me!"

After sending the message, Du Xinxin scrambled off her bed.

She opened her small wardrobe and began picking out an outfit.

Tao Siyao, who was on her bunk scrolling through her phone, watched Du Xinxin with curiosity.

"Where are you off to?"

"I’m hungry, going to buy some snacks. Want me to bring you anything?"

Du Xinxin’s eyes darted as she told a small lie.

’There was no way she was bringing that brat Tao Siyao along.’

’No one was going to stop her from having a private date with Shengsheng.’

"Something’s not right," Tao Siyao declared. "You’re up to something!"

Tao Siyao and Du Xinxin were total frenemies; she knew her inside and out.

’That girl was usually lazy as hell. Whenever she had a craving, she’d always make her or Pan Yinuo go buy snacks for her.’

’Even if she really did get a sudden urge to stretch her legs...’

’...you wouldn’t need to change into a whole new outfit just to go downstairs for a snack, would you?’

Tao Siyao pushed up the non-existent frames on the bridge of her nose.

’Naturally, there could only be one truth.’

’That darn guy had finally come to see them!’

’The last time Qi Sheng came, he only stayed with them for a single, rushed day.’

’This time, she was determined to get a couple more lovey-dovey days with him, no matter what.’

Tao Siyao had it all figured out, but she didn’t call her out on it.

Last time, she had been the one to get lucky when Qi Sheng confessed to her in front of so many people.

Du Xinxin had been incredibly jealous.

She’d let her enjoy the bliss of a private date for today.

"I’m heading out."

Du Xinxin gleefully finished changing.

She wore a white sweater, an A-line skirt, and a pair of fleece-lined, skin-toned stockings.

She had on a pair of white tall boots, her outfit accented by a matching beret.

’So vain.’

Tao Siyao huffed, but she had to admit it.

’The girl had a sweet aura that she could never replicate.’

’But she had her own strengths.’

’Her own long, fair legs, which she meticulously cared for.’

’They were that darn guy’s favorite.’

’It was just that Qi Sheng always loved to nibble and kiss her small feet.’

’The memory always made her blush with a little embarrassment.’

Pan Yinuo, the third member of their trio, was currently doing laundry.

She didn’t see Du Xinxin sneak out at all.

Of course, even if she had seen her, she wouldn’t have been jealous of her good friend.

After all, Qi Sheng was quite fond of her curvaceous figure.

Whenever the other two couldn’t keep up, she was the one who had to bear the brunt of it.

...

Outside the dormitory building.

Du Xinxin jogged outside and immediately spotted his tall, imposing figure.

"Shengsheng."

Du Xinxin nearly threw herself right into Qi Sheng’s arms.

But then she remembered how Qi Sheng had already confessed to Tao Siyao on campus.

If she acted too intimately with him now, it would definitely spark a lot of gossip.

Seeing the pitiful look on the little darling’s face, Qi Sheng’s heart ached for her.

Without a second thought, he pulled her into his arms, bent down, and kissed her.

"Oh—"

Du Xinxin froze for a second before instinctively responding.

"Like it?"

Qi Sheng released the breathless girl.

Her flushed cheeks were so cute he couldn’t resist giving them a little pinch.

"You’re terrible. Now the rumors about me and Tao Siyao fighting over a boyfriend will be all over campus."

That’s what Du Xinxin said, but seeing Qi Sheng show his affection for her without the slightest hesitation, she was bursting with happiness.

Some girls don’t care much for material possessions; they value emotional connection more.

Clearly, Du Xinxin was that type of girl.

However, girls like her also tended to be quite picky when it came to looks.

Qi Sheng held Du Xinxin’s small hand as they strolled through the campus on a winter day.

Though it was winter, Chengdu was much warmer than Qi Sheng’s hometown in the Northeast.

Of course, this refers to the outdoor temperature.

Indoors, however, the Northeast had central heating, making it much more comfortable than the South.

But if you have money, it’s the same wherever you live.

Qi Sheng tucked the hand he was holding into his overcoat pocket.

Other girls on the path would cast complex gazes their way, a mixture of shock and envy.

At first, Du Xinxin felt a little shy.

But she gradually got used to it.

Coincidentally, Du Xinxin’s former pursuer, Zhou You, happened to be walking toward them, strolling across campus with his own girlfriend.

’Holy shit, isn’t that guy Tao Siyao’s boyfriend?’

After seeing Qi Sheng’s public confession to Tao Siyao, Zhou You had foolishly tried his luck with Du Xinxin again.

Unsurprisingly, he had been rejected by Du Xinxin yet again. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

But it wasn’t so easy to forget the goddess he had pursued for over a year.

At all of Chuanyin, Du Xinxin and her two roommates were considered the most beautiful girls.

Of the three, Tao Siyao had already been claimed by Qi Sheng.

Pan Yinuo rarely appeared alone.

You couldn’t even get her WeChat, let alone try to pursue her.

The pure and sweet Du Xinxin was the idealized crush for many guys in college.

’But now, his idealized crush was being defiled by this animal.’

’And from the look on Du Xinxin’s face, it was clearly mutual.’

As they passed each other, Qi Sheng actually smiled at Zhou You.

To Zhou You, it was a deliberate provocation and a way of showing off.

But in his girlfriend’s eyes, it seemed the whole world had brightened.

’A guy that handsome—a total dreamboat—had actually smiled at her.’

’She’d have something to brag to her roommates about when she got back tonight.’

...

"That guy we just passed, he used to pursue you, right?"

Qi Sheng had an excellent memory and recognized Zhou You.
