Chapter 21: Chapter Sixteen: Youth Girls just starting college, without many acquaintances around, would certainly want to chat more with a "friendly" and handsome senior like Zhou Yuwen. In the midst of their conversation, she playfully glared at Zhou Yuwen, complaining that she tried to contact him online, but he hardly paid her any attention. Zhou Yuwen laughed and said seniors are busy, alright, they have to help other juniors get their cards. "Then, are the other juniors as pretty as this one?" the little junior asked, hugging her chest with both hands and putting on an arrogant look. Seeing Zhou Yuwen chatting and laughing with the beautiful girl, Chang Hao and Li Qiang were both stunned, with Li Qiang inappropriately asking, "Wait, Zhou, what's the deal with this beauty? She's calling you 'senior'?" At this point, the junior noticed there were others beside Zhou Yuwen and asked if they were seniors too. "They're not." "Alright, enough chatting. You should head back to the dorm and dry your hair, or you might catch a cold," Zhou Yuwen said. "Hehe, are you showing concern for me, senior~?" "Of course, if you catch a cold, you won't be able to get your card tomorrow," Zhou Yuwen pointed out. After hearing this, the girl pouted immediately, "Ugh, senior, you really are a bit annoying!" The two of them chatted and laughed for a while. Then the girl said she didn't want to talk to a straight male senior anymore. "So I'm heading back to the dorm?" "Yeah, go ahead." And so, the girl they had bumped into left, politely smiling at Chang Hao and Li Qiang as she did. The girl's standout looks had completely mesmerized Li Qiang and Chang Hao, and Li Qiang had been asking why the girl called Zhou Yuwen 'senior'. Since nobody paid attention to him earlier, he repeated the question after the girl left, which Chang Hao was also curious about. Zhou Yuwen said maybe he just looked older. "Don't give me that, Zhou. That girl definitely had a crush on you. If you chased her, you'd certainly catch her," Chang Hao said with a hint of envy. "If she actually has a crush on me, then why should I chase her?" Zhou Yuwen found the logic amusing. "Ah, you're so clueless. Girls are generally shy. Even if they like you, they won't make the first move, and they won't say it directly, so you need to be proactive," Chang Hao said, transforming into a love guru. "Really? I had no idea you were so knowledgeable," Zhou Yuwen replied. "Oh." Faced with Chang Hao's words, Zhou Yuwen could only respond with an "Oh," while Li Qiang, seeing Chang Hao so eager to prove himself, found it quite funny. He added fuel to the fire, joking, "Maybe she's just bored, Brother Hao." "You don't know anything!" Chang Hao was too lazy to explain to Li Qiang. Humph, there was also another reason, which Chang Hao was too embarrassed to tell Zhou Yuwen and Li Qiang; Capital city girls would never fancy guys from the countryside. In the whole school, apart from himself and Zheng Yanyan, there were hardly any true Capital city people. Chang Hao didn't believe that Zheng Yanyan had any other options besides himself. It was about eight-thirty when the four of them got from the cafeteria to the dorm. On the way back, occasionally a student would stop to inexplicably greet Zhou Yuwen, saying "hello, senior." Zhou Yuwen would respond politely with a nod. This made Chang Hao and the others very curious. It felt like Zhou Yuwen was really like a junior or senior student. "Wow, Old Zhou, you're like a hidden boss or something." After getting back to the dorm, everyone started packing up their shower gel and shampoo, getting ready to go to the bathhouse together. Zhou Yuwen said, "Actually, I have a twin brother here who's a sophomore." "Really?" Everyone packed their stuff and then went to the bathhouse together. In September, the summer breeze in the campus carried a hint of the delicate scent of Viburnum. Li Qiang, carrying a washbasin on the way to the bathhouse and smelling the fragrance, frowned and said, "Why is this scent everywhere here?" "Don't you know? Isn't it from behind the boys' dormitory? To be honest, Qiangzi, did you do something last night while we weren't here behind our backs?" Chang Hao said this while idly waving his empty fist in the air. Zhou Yuwen listened and let out a snicker. Li Qiang was greatly embarrassed and retorted with a flushed face, "Bullshit, it's been so long, if it was mine, the smell would have dissipated long ago!" "Hey right! We all went out in the afternoon! Only Yuhang was in the dorm. Yuhang, you tell us, did you do something in the dorm behind our backs?" Li Qiang said this while clapping Lu Yuhang on the shoulder.
