Chang Jing was no ordinary person after all. With his years of experience in transmigrating and being reborn, he immediately came up with a solution.

He smirked, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and then said casually, "Guess... whether I'll guess or not?"

"Well??"

This time, Bai Mei was stunned. She never expected that her "battle-hardened" and always effective "man-picking technique" would fail.

They even managed to outmaneuver the opponent!

This is so hot! No wonder he's the man I've set my sights on!

Even their personalities are so unique!

Bai Mei cleared her throat and said shyly, "Um, Chang Jing, actually I also got into Sun Yat-sen University, and my major is the same as yours, finance in the business school, so... so I wanted to tell you that we can take classes together, discuss academic issues, and spend more time together..."

As Bai Mei spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and a blush crept onto her face.

She felt that her words were undoubtedly a confession to Chang Jing, clearly indicating that she intended to be with him.

She was a little worried, unsure of how Chang Jing would react.

Chang Jing was slightly surprised, not expecting that Bai Mei had also been admitted to the same university and majored in the same field.

More than Bai Mei's excitement, Chang Jing was more concerned about another meaning—was Bai Mei trying to win him over?

Chang Jing frowned. Although he didn't want to offend Bai Mei, a young lady with a powerful background, he didn't have any romantic feelings for her at the moment. He simply regarded her as a useful connection.

Bai Mei's words made him feel somewhat "passive." After all, it was best not to take that step in the relationship before he was sure whether she was sincere or not.

Chang Jing pretended to be calm and said, "Oh? What a coincidence. It seems we can chat about our learning experiences together in the future."

"But... Bai Mei, how did you know I applied to Sun Yat-sen University? And even what major I applied for?"

Although Chang Jing was aware of the situation, he still pretended not to understand and asked Bai Mei for clarification.

Bai Mei's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

Chang Jing's question was really hard to answer, since I had secretly asked my relatives at the Education Bureau behind Chang Jing's back.

But we can't tell Chang Jing the truth!

If he finds out that I investigated his college application before he even applied, I wonder what he'll think of me!

Bai Mei felt both embarrassed and nervous. She tried to hide her emotions and stammered, "Uh... I... I asked Tang Yuan, and he told me!"

"sweet dumpling?"

"Yes! He's the one who told me." Bai Mei nodded quickly.

"Oh, I see," Chang Jing nodded politely, without saying anything more, but he was secretly laughing his head off.

Tangyuan did attend the banquet her family organized to celebrate her college admission, but at that time, it wasn't mentioned which university she was admitted to.

The key point is that people with good grades usually choose Tsinghua or Peking University as their first choice, rather than Sun Yat-sen University, right?

That kid always thought that since he ranked in the top ten in the province, he would definitely go to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

However, this was not a big deal. Seeing how nervous Bai Mei was, I decided to play dumb and not make things difficult for the young girl.

Chang Jing sipped his drink to hide his smirk, while Bai Mei kept her head down, lost in thought.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became a little awkward, and neither of them spoke much. Fortunately, the food was served at that moment, which eased the tension somewhat.

Bai Mei ate bite by bite, her mind filled with the conversation she had just heard.

She regretted that she had spoken too hastily, and as a result, not only did she fail to get closer to Chang Jing, but she also caused Chang Jing to misunderstand her. Now, she was afraid that Chang Jing would deliberately avoid her.

Bai Mei felt an unprecedented sense of frustration and sadness. Her initial high expectations had turned into nothing but distress.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Chang Jing deliberately changed the subject and asked Bai Mei's grandfather, Old Master Bai, how he was doing lately and how the orchids he sold him were doing.

Bai Mei said happily, "Grandpa Lan Cao likes it very much. Now he treats it like a treasure and won't let anyone touch it. He also said that he will go to your flower nursery to buy new varieties when he has time."

Upon hearing this, Chang Jing realized that he hadn't tended to his flower garden for a while, and it seemed he would have to find some time to tidy it up in the next couple of days.

Then he continued, "How are the preparations for going to teach at CUHK going?"

Bai Mei answered truthfully, "There's nothing to prepare. My family has a house near Sun Yat-sen University, so I just go home to and from get out of class anyway."

"There are houses nearby, right..." Chang Jing nodded.

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him: should he also start some businesses near the university?

In the coming decades, school district properties will be a highly sought-after and lucrative industry.

Thinking this to himself, Chang Jing said on the surface, "I can't. My home is a bit far from the school, so I plan to stay at the school."

"You're staying here?" Bai Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this, as if she was making some kind of plan.

Bai Mei had the idea of ​​living alone. If she also stayed in a hotel, she could be with Chang Jing every day.

She was so excited that her mind raced, trying to come up with a way to convince her parents to let her live at school. Chang Jing, however, had no idea what Bai Mei was planning.

"Hmm...actually, I also want to live at school so I can study and live with more classmates, but my parents might not agree." Thinking of this, Bai Mei looked a little disappointed.

"Why don't you try to persuade them? Living in a dormitory during college can be a very interesting experience," Chang Jing suggested without much thought.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mei felt a surge of excitement—was he trying to send me an invitation code?

Then a beautiful scene immediately appeared before my eyes: eating, studying, and chatting with Chang Jing every day—what a wonderful period of college life!

She immediately nodded and said, "Then I must go back and discuss it with my parents to get their approval for me to live at school!"

Chang Jing never expected that his casual suggestion would excite Bai Mei so much.

At this moment, a sly glint flashed in Bai Mei's eyes, and then she asked casually, "If you're going to live on campus, Chang Jing, which dormitory do you plan to go to?"

Chang Jing deliberately feigned a troubled expression and said, "Well, I haven't decided yet. Zhongda is so big, and the dormitory area is divided into many sections. I need to do some research and find a place with a good study environment."

Bai Mei immediately said, "Then you can consider the dormitory in District XX. I heard that the environment there is very good, the conditions are also good, and it is very close to the teaching area, which is especially suitable for self-study!"

Chang Jing smiled slightly; he had long since become intimately familiar with the dormitory layout at Sun Yat-sen University.

Bai Mei's recommendation was probably not out of kindness, but rather an attempt to get closer to herself.
