Chapter 18 probably won't be him.
The other three looked at each other in bewilderment.
He then burst out laughing.
"You're so good at cursing!"
"I thought you were a gentle girl before, but it seems I was wrong."
"By the way, have you heard about something?"
Song Shiyi and Si Yue looked over curiously.
"What?"
Pei Rui said mysteriously, "Rumor has it that a super awesome academic genius has come to our school."
"Most importantly, I've heard he's even more handsome than Shen Yanci!"
These words piqued the interest of the other three.
Pei Rui's grandfather was a professor at Peking University. He had been there for many years, taught many students, was highly experienced, kind, and respected. Many people liked this teacher.
Pei Rui was influenced by him from a young age, but she did not develop the gentle temperament typical of people from scholarly families. Instead, she was quirky and mischievous, and had a passion for gossip.
She heard this news from her own grandfather.
She hadn't forgotten how much her grandfather praised and liked this academic genius—something he had never done before.
He was still at home sighing, muttering about why he didn't study his major, his tone full of regret.
Pei Rui was incredibly curious.
She wasn't that interested in just being good at studying.
After all, which student at Kyoto University isn't a good student?
Most importantly, her grandfather smiled and said that she was also good-looking and could easily win a girl's heart.
Pei Rui naturally didn't believe it. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, good looks meant the standard appearance of a civil servant.
Even the old man Shen Yanci said it was just so-so.
How good-looking could the person he's talking about be?
However, the old man's actions still piqued her curiosity.
She really wanted to see who this person was that her grandfather liked so much.
She couldn't keep things to herself, and with everyone around, she spilled everything out.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Si Yue moved a chair in front of her, pulled Song Shiyi to sit down, and then reached into Yu Wenjun's hand next to her to grab some potato chips.
She didn't forget her good friend and stuffed a piece into Song Shiyi's mouth as well.
The three of them chewed as they looked at Pei Rui, like three hungry children.
"..."
Five minutes later, Yu Wenjun rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
"Studied economics? Isn't that similar to Shen Yanci and Xie Lin's major?"
"What's going on? Why are all the handsome guys clustered together? Can't they be more evenly distributed? I'd be happy to get a full face of makeup at 8 a.m.!"
"...One thing at a time."
Si Yue took a sip of water and thought for a moment, "She came back from studying abroad, so her family probably has some money. Usually, she would inherit the family business, so it's normal for her to study this major."
For some reason, He Jinzhao's image suddenly popped into Song Shiyi's mind.
Speaking of which, he also returned from studying abroad. I heard Shen Yanci mention that his major abroad was also... economics.
However, it probably won't be him.
He Jinzhao hasn't graduated yet.
I guess he's just coming back to see his family and friends.
I'll go back in a few days.
Song Shiyi didn't think much of it; the topic had already changed in such a short time, and this time it even involved her.
Of course, it's about Shen Yanci and Ji Siyu officially announcing their relationship.
After all, the things college students can discuss are either gossip or what to eat.
Or he's a handsome guy.
"I thought you'd end up with Shen Yanci, tsk tsk tsk, what's that called?"
"A sudden rise to power?"
Yu Wenjun gave Pei Rui a wink, asking why she was saying this in front of others.
They have no sense of propriety.
Pei Rui shrugged and said nothing more.
Si Yue glanced at Song Shiyi with some concern.
She was unaware that Song Shiyi and He Jinzhao had just encountered Shen Yanci and his companion, and that the encounter had ended badly.
I'm still worried that she'll be upset if she hears this.
Song Shiyi was in a pretty good mood. She smiled nonchalantly and wrote a few words.
They are a perfect match.
Seeing that she didn't seem unhappy, Yu Wenjun continued the conversation, "Speaking of which, they should be at the welcome party this year, right? Do you think they'll put on some kind of couples' performance?"
"Four-handed piano duet?"
"Shen Yanci can play the piano?"
Of the four of them, one knew the most about this matter.
Under the curious gazes of the three, Song Shiyi nodded.
Children from wealthy families learn this basic musical instrument from a young age.
She was no exception.
While I can say that I'm not as proficient as those professionals, this kind of performance is perfectly adequate.
When the others received the answer, they all joked:
"Looks like I'm in for a lot of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)."
"I can't even imagine how excited the people below must be."
"Hahaha, after all, it's human nature to watch the excitement."
At this moment, Pei Rui seemed to remember something, glanced at the three of them, and asked, "Oh, right, I forgot to ask, each class needs to put on a performance for the welcome party, have you all decided on your class's performance yet?"
She scratched her head in frustration. "Those people in my class have nothing better to do than force me to be the class monitor. There's been so much trouble since the start of the semester; we've already had several meetings, and my phone is overflowing with messages. It's going to explode if I don't check it soon."
"The program hasn't been decided yet, and nobody wants to participate, but the school is forcing each freshman class to send one person."
"So annoying."
Yu Wenjun patted her shoulder with a sympathetic look and comforted her, "It's okay, there will be many more days like this in the future."
Pei Rui: "..."
"...I'm really about to break down."
Yu Wenjun, seeing that things were going well, laughed and said, "Oh, just find a few people to go up and sing a song, or if that doesn't work, you can go up and yell your own song."
Pei Rui: "...Are you serious?"
Song Shiyi couldn't help but chuckle.
To be honest, before school started, she was very worried about what kind of roommates she would have.
After all, you'll be living together for four years. If you don't get along with your roommates, your college experience will be greatly diminished.
Unexpectedly, she was so lucky. Not only did she share a dorm room with her best friend, but the other two also had great personalities. They would joke around together, and the dorm was filled with laughter every day.
Pei Rui and Si Yue are two real clowns.
Yu Wenjun is a bit more reserved compared to them, but she's still a funny woman.
Even the quiet Song Shiyi seemed somewhat out of place.
But after spending a few days together, she got used to their occasional abstract and quirky antics.
In short, she was very happy.
As the saying goes, when one place is in trouble, trouble comes from all sides.
Si Yue also offered a bad suggestion, "Hey, don't you have connections? Have your grandpa talk to the leader, then you won't have to worry about it."
Song Shiyi nudged her arm, her eyes full of disapproval.
Is it okay to say such things carelessly?
Even if someone has a good temper, you still have to be careful.
Unexpectedly, Pei Rui pondered for a moment, then clapped her hands and suddenly realized.
"How could I not have thought of that!"
Song Shiyi: "..."
Wake up!
