One day, not a single person was seen in Jiangcheng.
That evening, he dragged his tired body back to his dormitory.
The next day, Jiang Cheng went out early again.
This cycle repeats itself.
Lanjing Institute of Technology appears calm and peaceful, always so ordinary and quiet, but the mindset of some people has quietly changed.
When Zhao Xuerou saw Jiang Cheng throw away his breakfast that morning, she felt a little contemptuous. She knew Jiang Cheng too well. Three years of high school and one year of university, she understood his stubbornness all too well.
I'll probably receive his usual "Good morning" the next day.
That's what a simp is.
No matter how you treat him, as long as you maintain a proper balance and occasionally show gentleness, the "simp" will continue to harbor unrealistic hopes and eventually become devoted to you.
However, when Zhao Xuerou did not receive any messages the next day, and the chat interface remained at the time of that morning, she became somewhat puzzled.
What happened?
Is he really angry this time?
Or did I fail to give him any hope for too long, causing him to feel that he was out of reach and thus give up?
That won't do.
Zhao Xuerou has always maintained a good image and has never lacked suitors. Her pond is full of fish waiting to be slaughtered, and she enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention.
To be precise, what she wanted wasn't someone's love, but a kind of vanity.
There are different levels and different skills involved in being a "simp."
Some simps give up after a few days, some are all talk and no action and like to make empty promises, but simps like Jiang Cheng are the real high-quality simps.
For years, he remained steadfast in his commitment, never wavering, stubbornly giving without expecting anything in return.
Where can you find such a vengeful spirit?
No, I can't let him slip out of my control.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Xuerou quickly opened her phone and posted a suggestive message on her WeChat Moments at night:
Can you hold me tighter?
The post also included a picture of herself sitting sideways on a bench in the evening breeze.
A few hours later, her message notifications started ringing incessantly. Zhao Xuerou opened her phone and began to read the messages on her chat app.
Do I even have a chance to hold onto you?
"What's wrong, Xue Rou? Are you unhappy?"
"I get what you mean, let's go get some barbecue skewers this weekend!"
There are simply too many messages like this to keep up with; countless guys think they've received the right hint and understand what their crush means.
However, even after scrolling to the very bottom, Zhao Xuerou still couldn't find the message from the person she wanted to see.
She put down her phone and frowned slightly.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng, who was in the library, had entered a state of focused study. For the past two days, he had been going back and forth between three points: dormitory, canteen, and library.
I was completely obsessed, constantly studying textbooks or searching for videos online to learn languages.
Picking up the learning again from scratch is not easy. When he was looking up the textbook, he would sometimes frown and sometimes smile. He was overjoyed when he found a trick to grammar, and he was also saddened when he couldn't grasp it.
After two fulfilling days, he had completely forgotten about Zhao Xuerou's existence.
night.
"Gurgle, gurgle." Jiang Cheng's stomach rumbled, and he suddenly snapped out of his book. He looked up at the night outside and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.
Another day has passed without us even realizing it.
He opened his phone and saw several messages from his roommates, as well as a phone call from his mother, which he hadn't heard because it was on silent.
In addition, he noticed a notification from his friend's activity: Zhao Xuerou posted a new status: Can you hold me tight?
Oh.
Jiang Cheng sneered inwardly.
So you're resorting to these tricks again, aren't you?
I didn't recognize your tricks before; I just eagerly followed you after receiving a hint.
Now?
Jiang Cheng opened the settings, selected "Don't view this person's updates anymore," and blocked them directly.
After finishing these tasks, he got up, went outside to buy some food, and returned to his dormitory.
The evening breeze was very gentle. Passing by the playground, there were many young couples strolling hand in hand, students jogging and exercising, and some female enthusiasts coming out to admire the graceful figures of the female students.
He was freed from the shackles of being a sycophant and suddenly felt relaxed, both physically and mentally. How wonderful youth is! There are lush grasses and warbling birds on your shoulders, responsibilities to your country and family, and boundless energy. Why do things that are not worth the effort?
A person who only revolves around emotions will never amount to anything.
Back in the dormitory, I pushed open the door and entered.
It was still the same scene.
Tao Ming and Liang Gu are playing video games.
Chen Yan was focused on preparing the homework assigned by her teacher.
"You're back? Third brother, how was your day with your goddess? Any progress?" Liang Gu didn't forget to ask even when he was busy playing games.
"Goddess? What goddess do I have? I've been studying at the library these past two days, I don't have time to deal with women."
"Study?" Liang Gu was stunned.
When did my third brother transform from a romantic heartthrob into a studious young man?
What triggered this?
Could it be that he finally couldn't hold back and confessed his feelings, only to be politely rejected by Zhao Xuerou?
He and Tao Ming exchanged a glance.
Tao Ming blinked and whispered, "He's probably just emotionally hurt. He's just experiencing intermittent bursts of ambition. He'll be fine in a couple of days."
That's true.
The second brother turned his head and glanced at Jiang Cheng.
My third brother is good in every way, except for his tendency to be a sycophant.
The moment he saw Zhao Xuerou, the girl his third brother adored, he knew that this girl was not someone an ordinary person could handle; she was incredibly shrewd and calculating.
