Chapter 24: Nineteen Chapters Everyone has expectations in their hearts
She thought of it, but the problem was that this move wasn't very useful for her.
However, seeing how Li Shiqi couldn't stop thinking about that two hundred yuan, Zhou Yuwen wasn't stingy either, promising an additional two hundred yuan reward for Li Shiqi and, furthermore, if Li Shiqi really could bring in thirty people to sign up tomorrow, Zhou Yuwen would give her another two hundred yuan.
It was Li Shiqi's first time earning money, and she was certainly very happy, not expecting Zhou Yuwen to be so generous.
Their first chat was very pleasant, and when Li Shiqi returned from taking a call outside the dormitory, the smile never left her face. Her newly met roommates saw this and exchanged knowing glances without saying a word.
"Who were you on the phone with? You seem so happy?"
"Boyfriend, maybe?"
"No, a high school classmate."
"High school classmate? Hey, is it a guy or a girl?"
Li Shiqi hadn't even thought about these things while chatting with Zhou Yuwen, despite being high school classmates for three years, this was probably the first time the two had communicated alone for so long.
And this, her college roommates certainly didn't know. The college roommates thought, you're chatting so happily with a boy on the first day of school, and he's a high school classmate, that must mean there's mutual affection!
Li Shiqi quickly explained, saying there was nothing like that, he and I are just ordinary high school classmates.
Really very ordinary.
However, Li Shiqi's explanation was unconvincing, and everyone understood, jokingly saying, come on, it's not high school anymore. It's normal to have a boyfriend!
"Exactly! It's like everyone has someone or other!"
"Oh, so you have someone too?"
"What about you? Don't you have someone?"
During high school, Li Shiqi was completely focused on studying and didn't think about these matters at all. Hardly anyone around her talked about relationship issues, but after starting college, the first night's dorm chat seemed to start similarly with discussions on relationships between men and women.
One of Li Shiqi's roommates had a boyfriend and was very open about their good relationship, while another roommate said although she didn't have a boyfriend, their relationship was more than friendship but short of romance!
Later Li Shiqi found out that, seemingly, she was the only one in her dorm who hadn't had a friend of the opposite sex from childhood to adulthood.
Li Shiqi even asked in surprise, "How come you all had time for dating in high school, didn't you have to study?"
This question seemed to irritate her roommates, "Shiqi, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that we were only dating? Don't tell me you didn't have any?"
"Exactly, who was that on the phone with you just now?"
"That was a high school classmate!"
"We're high school classmates too!"
On reflection, it was true. Li Shiqi was just too naive, but the other girls in the dorm declared they already saw through it, they've all dealt with high school classmates before.
"Let me tell you, Shiqi, if you really like that high school classmate of yours, you have to act fast. These boys get very fickle in college."
"I, I really don't have anything with him."
As soon as Zhou Yuwen came back in, Chang Hao and Li Qiang immediately surrounded him asking, "Old Zhou, who was that on the phone with you?"
"Nobody, just a high school classmate," Zhou Yuwen said.
"Yo, how come my high school classmates don't call me?"
"Maybe it's because you're not as handsome as me,"
"Dammit!"
Zhou Yuwen had no interest in bickering with them and took out his notebook to start compiling the list. In the process, he still received quite a few messages.
It was at this time that Zhou Yuwen finally realized it was time to set his phone to silent mode.
But Chang Hao caught a glimpse of a message from Liu Yue to Zhou Yuwen.
Liu Yue liked to visit different dorms in the girls' dormitory and had already rounded up two potential clients for Zhou Yuwen, proudly claiming her credit in the messages.
"Two clients, does that mean I'll get a sixty yuan commission (yay)"
Zhou Yuwen glanced at the message and replied that it was true.
Liu Yue mentioned that she had just gone to the neighboring class's dormitory to ask if anyone wanted to apply for cards.
Unexpectedly, she actually found two.
"I was so embarrassed when I went in just now! (covers face)"
Zhou Yuwen replied: "Keep it up! (encouraging)"
Seeing the message from Zhou Yuwen, Liu Yue was especially happy, bragging to the other girls in the dorm, "Hey! Yaoyao, I told Zhou Yuwen I got him two clients, and he told me to keep it up!"
Liu Yue was chatting with Zhou Yuwen on her phone in bed, her face filled with glee.
"Are you still chatting with Zhou Yuwen?" Li Jing asked curiously.
"Yeah! I noticed that Zhou Yuwen seems a bit of a straight guy who probably doesn't chat much with girls," Liu Yue said with a laugh.
Ma Tian remarked, "Could it be that he just doesn't want to chat with you?"
No sooner had she spoken than they heard a snort of laughter; Li Jing and Gu Yaoyao couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle.
Liu Yue was annoyed, glaring at Ma Tian crossly.
But Ma Tian just stuck out her tongue and said, "Yue, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
"So annoying!"
Liu Yue couldn't be bothered with Ma Tian; she knew she wasn't as beautiful as Gu Yaoyao, but Liu Yue thought that if you liked someone, you should boldly say it out loud.
If she didn't chat with Zhou Yuwen, she wouldn't have any chance at all.
But who knew, with this chatting, perhaps Zhou Yuwen might really start to feel something for her?
