On the playground of Yenching University,
All freshmen in the university, from all departments, are undergoing military training.
In the sweltering summer heat, everyone inevitably sweats profusely.
After the instructor dismissed them for a break,
Zhou Chen, Zhang Hao, Li Wei, and others leaned against the tree to cool off, while many boys and girls also gathered under the row of willow trees.
"Brother Chen, Haozi, Brother Wei, I'm back."
Wang Rui ran over, panting, with a happy smile on his face.
"How about it?"
"She accepted the water I bought."
In response to Zhang Hao's question, Wang Rui said with a hint of pride, "Her classmates are all very envious of how good I am to her. I feel like I'm one step closer to winning her over."
"Not bad. The fact that they accepted your water in public proves you have potential. Keep up the good work."
Zhang Hao, the cunning strategist, nodded. It was his idea to win favor by delivering water.
"It's a pity I don't have much money, otherwise I would have given each person in their class a bottle of water, and they would all have said a few good words for me," Wang Rui said with some regret.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's lips twitched slightly. This was such a terrible thing. To fawn over everyone around a girl for her sake—such sycophantic behavior usually didn't end well.
Girls won't take this perceived kindness to heart.
"Brother Chen, do you think what I just said was wrong?"
Wang Rui noticed the change in Zhou Chen's expression and, realizing that Zhou Chen had a girlfriend, wanted to ask him for advice.
after all,
In matters of dating, Zhou Chen is a veteran and certainly has unique insights.
"Ruizi, I don't really recommend that you lower yourself to pursue her, especially by spending money to please the people around her in order to win her favor. You might think that it will move her, but in reality, you might only move yourself. When you are with girls, remember one thing: money is for them to see, not for them to spend."
Since Wang Rui asked, Zhou Chen didn't mind offering a few words of advice. Whether Wang Rui could understand or take it to heart was up to him.
Upon hearing this, Wang Rui appeared thoughtful.
At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly chimed in with a different opinion, "Brother Chen, I think it's normal to lower your stance when pursuing a girl. Girls are shy and are destined not to be too proactive, especially pretty girls. They all have their own little pride. At this time, we need to satisfy their little pride to win their favor, which will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."
Secondly, spending money on girls lets them know you're not stingy. It's appropriate to spend money; as the old saying goes, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." The principle is the same. If you don't show your affection and aren't even willing to spend money, why would a girl want to be with you?
It's not that Zhang Hao's words were unreasonable, but Zhou Chen knew even better that a sycophant who keeps fawning will end up with nothing.
There are far too many such examples in reality.
"Brother Chen, Brother Hao, I think you're both right."
Wang Rui chuckled.
"The squad leader is here!"
At that moment, Li Wei's voice rang out.
Um?
Class monitor? Song Xiaodie?
In an instant, Song Xiaodie stood in front of the four people, or more accurately, in front of Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, this water is for you."
"Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to thank you."
After saying that, Song Xiaodie put down the water, turned around and left, returning to the area where the girls were.
This scene immediately sparked discussion among male and female students, with many believing that class monitor Song Xiaodie had feelings for Zhou Chen.
Most importantly, Song Xiaodie offered water to Zhou Chen in front of everyone, which was the most shocking thing.
Wang Rui thought of buying water for Yang Meng.
But look at Zhou Chen, it was a girl who bought him water. Suddenly, Wang Rui felt it was necessary to reconsider what Zhou Chen had just said.
"The class monitor is thanking Brother Chen, don't overthink it."
Although Zhang Hao felt a little embarrassed and like he had been slapped in the face, he thought that Song Xiaodie's explanation meant it was just a simple matter of delivering water.
"But I feel that the way the class monitor looks at Brother Chen is a little different from how he looks at us. Also, the class monitor's face turned red just now, which is obviously because he was shy."
Wang Rui believed that class monitor Song Xiaodie must have feelings for Zhou Chen; blushing was no lie.
"Cough cough... Ruizi, you're overthinking it. Haozi is right. The class monitor just wanted to thank me for not competing with her for class monitor before, that's why she brought me water."
Zhou Chen coughed and emphasized that they should try to avoid any scandals.
"Look, Senior Qin is here!"
Suddenly, a gasp rang out from the crowd, instantly overshadowing the earlier incident of Song Xiaodie delivering water. Qin Yiren was the campus belle of Yanda University, the girl in the hearts of many boys, and her appearance naturally captivated many hearts.
At this moment, the many boys leaning against the tree for shade no longer cared whether Song Xiaodie liked Zhou Chen, but instead all turned their gazes toward the same spot.
"Hello, Senior Sister Qin."
"Senior Sister Qin".
Many boys with lecherous looks greeted him foolishly.
Wang Rui was no exception, revealing a simple smile.
Zhang Hao reacted quickly, hurriedly fixing his hair and clothes, wanting to present his best self to Qin Yiren.
Zhou Chen glanced at her once and then looked away. No matter how beautiful Qin Yiren was, it had nothing to do with him; he already had a girlfriend.
Not long after,
Zhou Chen noticed the air was somewhat quiet and was a little puzzled. He raised his eyes slightly and saw a pair of girls' shoes in front of him. Someone was standing in front of him, slowly raising their head, and a beautiful face came into view.
It was Qin Yiren.
Um?
Qin Yiren? What's she doing here?
Amidst the confusion, Qin Yiren provided the answer.
"I saw you were doing military training and I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd give you a bottle of water."
Qin Yiren smiled and handed the water to Zhou Chen.
Upon witnessing this scene and hearing these words, everyone present fell silent.
After placing the water in front of Zhou Chen, Qin Yiren glanced at the male and female classmates who were watching her, left a word of encouragement, and hurriedly left.
After Qin Yiren walked away,
The boys in the audience went wild!
This is Qin Yiren, a campus beauty, and she actually came to bring Zhou Chen water. I've never heard of any other boy receiving this treatment.
"First it was the class monitor, and now it's Senior Sister Qin. I just want to know if there are any other pretty girls who want to bring water to Brother Chen!"
Wang Rui sighed.
Little did he know, no sooner had Wang Rui finished speaking than Li Wei's voice rang out:
"It seems there really is one, look over there..."
Li Wei pointed in another direction, and Zhang Hao and Wang Rui immediately looked in that direction. They saw a familiar face holding water and walking towards them.
