"We didn't ask, and you didn't tell us either."
"Alright, now everyone's happy! Mengmeng, you should have said so earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to introduce you to Wang Xueba."
"Rongxu, you need to control your girlfriend. Trying to introduce a boyfriend to my girlfriend is truly a great friend of China."
"Shishi, that's not right of you. School beauty Liu has a boyfriend, and you're still thinking of introducing him to someone else?"
"Oh dear, it's because I thought Mengmeng's boyfriend was unreliable, so I thought I'd introduce someone better. I never expected that Mengmeng's boyfriend would be Wang Xueba!" Xia Shishi said shyly.
Do you think I'm good enough now?
“Excellent, of course it’s excellent! So, to express my apology today, I’ll treat you all to dinner, okay?”
"You were the one who was paying, didn't we agree on that?" Liu Qingmeng said.
"Okay, I'll apologize to you on Shishi's behalf. After dinner, how about we go sing karaoke? It's on me!"
"Okay! Let's go to karaoke! I haven't been in ages! It's decided!" Xia Shishi clapped her hands and said.
Li Dong and Zhang Qixuan, who were standing to the side, couldn't get a word in edgewise and had no idea what had happened.
"Old Wang, let's go if it doesn't work out," Zhang Qixuan asked as he walked up to Wang Xinghe.
"Since you're here, let's go together."
“Yeah, you’re Xinghe’s roommates, so you’ll be friends from now on. Let’s go together, it’s just a matter of adding a couple more pairs of chopsticks!” Rong Xu said casually.
Li Dong and Zhang Qixuan nodded quickly; they were experts at getting free meals and drinks.
However, the two soon regretted it.
Walking on campus, they were always in pairs. These two were quite strange, one tall and one short, one big and one small. They couldn't possibly be a couple.
Amidst the strange looks from other students, Zhang Qixuan and Li Dong felt like ants were crawling all over their bodies.
"Old Li, you should go over there quickly, don't walk with me."
"Why aren't you going? Why should I go?"
"What do you think? Didn't you see the looks on the faces of the people around us? My sexual orientation is normal!"
"Hey! You're straight, so I'm not?"
"How would I know? Hurry up and go. If we walk any further, we'll be photographed and our picture will be posted on the confession wall. We'll be famous! How am I ever going to find a girlfriend then?" Zhang Qixuan said with a mournful face.
“Then go over there, or else…” Li Dong stretched out his arm to put his arm around Zhang Qixuan.
Startled, Zhang Qixuan immediately ran to Wang Xinghe's right.
"Old Wang, look at him, Li Dong is not normal, why don't we kick him out of the dormitory!"
Wang Xinghe and Rong Xu, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, were already laughing, and even Liu Qingmeng was pursing her lips, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
This pair of clowns is truly hilarious.
"So hurry up and find a girlfriend to prove you're normal."
"No, Lao Wang, are you even putting me down? Do you think it's because I don't want to? I don't know what's wrong with those girls. I'm so handsome, but they just don't like me."
"Well, you can actually win a girl's heart with your sincerity; you don't need to worry about her looks."
"I think I should leave. If I stay by your side any longer, I'm afraid I'll just jump into the lake next to us."
Zhang Qixuan skipped off again, heading to find Li Dong once more. Oh well, let people fantasize about him. He's innocent and has nothing to fear. It's better than being attacked while eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
These past two days, Wang Xinghe has started to worry again, because Liu Qingmeng's birthday is approaching, and choosing a birthday gift has become a problem.
Liu Qingmeng's birthday party will be held at home. It is Liu Qingmeng's eighteenth birthday, so the Liu family is also preparing to hold a large birthday banquet for Liu Qingmeng at home.
This news was secretly told to Wang Xinghe by Liu Qinghuan when he went to the Liu family to tutor her.
"Brother Xinghe, you must come then, but don't tell my sister, she doesn't know yet."
"You still don't know?"
"Yes, my sister doesn't like birthday parties with lots of people. This is my parents' wish, so we can only keep it from her for now."
"This is my sister's eighteenth birthday, it has to be celebrated in a grand way, right, Xinghe-gege?"
"Yes, of course it needs to be a grand affair."
"On that day, I'll trick my sister into coming home early and give her a surprise!"
"Okay, I'll definitely be there on time next Saturday."
"Huh? Brother Xinghe, how did you know my sister's birthday is next Saturday? I haven't told you the time yet."
"Huh? Didn't you just say that?"
"Yeah, Xinghe, I didn't say anything, how did you know?" Liu Qinghuan looked at Wang Xinghe with suspicion.
"Haha, I guessed." Wang Xinghe said, scratching the back of his head.
"A guess?"
"Yeah, I guessed. It must be the weekend, since people only have time on weekends."
"You can guess like that?"
"yes."
"I can't understand the logic of the top student, so Xinghe brother, you must come next Saturday. My dad will be back then too. You haven't met my dad yet, have you?"
Wang Xinghe had never actually met Liu Qingmeng's father. He had come four or five times, but had never seen him. Wang Xinghe had assumed that Liu's father was very busy, but he didn't expect that it was because he was on a business trip out of town for a month and would not be back until next week.
"Okay, then I will definitely prepare well."
Wang Xinghe was lying in his dorm room with a headache, racking his brains for a long time but still couldn't think of a good gift. He asked Li Dong and the others, but they couldn't offer any constructive suggestions. The reason was simple: they were all single.
The phone rang urgently. Wang Xinghe picked it up and saw it was his mother.
"mom."
"Xinghe, how have you been at school lately? Are you settling in alright?"
"Mom, you're adapting well. You and Uncle Su are having fun, aren't you?"
"Of course I'm happy. Your Uncle Su and I bought you a gift in the country of clockwork. We've already sent it to your school by express delivery. It should arrive in a couple of days. I just wanted to let you know."
"Mom, that must be very expensive."
"It's not expensive. Consider it a back-to-school gift for you. It might be a little late, but it's not too late. It's a couple's watch. Your Uncle Su and I mean that when you meet a girl you like, you should give her this watch, okay?"
"Mom, isn't that a bit too hasty?"
"What's the rush? It's been over a month since school started. So, have you found a girl you like?"
"Mom, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"What's wrong with talking about this? My son is so handsome, girls are chasing after him. If he likes someone, he'll go for it. If you don't have enough money, just tell Mom. Make sure you give away the watch I sent you. I'll have your sister ask you about it later."
