Huang Haibao was a bit displeased. Among so many people in the class, the three of them had the best relationship. Cao Shunjin was heartless, but did Li Zhanpeng really have to make fun of him?
"No, Old Huang, they just went out to watch a movie. Why are you so upset?"
"You don't understand."
Huang Haibao sighed: "Since Fang Minhui agreed to watch a movie, she must be willing to accept Li Zhanpeng's feelings. I'm completely out of luck."
"You were never in luck. If it wasn't for Li Zhanpeng, it would be another Liu Zhanpeng. If you ask me, you're just imagining things."
Cao Shunjin twisted the knife further.
But speaking of Li Zhanpeng, Shen Yuan had always disliked him. This guy was always ostentatious in his words and actions, and he acted one way in front of people and another behind their backs.
On the first day of school, Li Zhanpeng drove a used Accord to school, trying to show off.
He didn't expect to be overshadowed by Shen Yuan's BMW 4 series.
It was already commendable for a college student to drive a private car to school, but Shen Yuan's 4 series made his Accord look like a clown.
At that time, he was still being sarcastic behind Shen Yuan's back.
"Isn't Shen Yuan just relying on his family's dirty money? Could he drive a 4 series on his own?"
"Unlike me, although my parents planned to buy me a BBA, I refused. A used Accord is fine, just for getting around."
Later, when Li Zhanpeng heard that Shen Yuan's family went bankrupt, he couldn't wait to jump out and offer his unsolicited opinions.
"I told you long ago, the tourism business won't last. It has to be a real industry."
"Only after the tide recedes do you know who is swimming naked. Some people, ah, are truly failures when their family goes bankrupt and they can't help at all."
Of course, Li Zhanpeng didn't dare to say these things in front of Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan was 182 cm tall, and his words and actions had a hint of frivolity and wildness. Li Zhanpeng would at most badmouth him behind his back.
Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin were also very annoyed by Li Zhanpeng's behavior, so they were the ones who told Shen Yuan these things.
Although Shen Yuan cursed a few times at the time, he didn't take it too seriously.
When a person dislikes you, they find everything you do unappealing.
Later, Li Zhanpeng discovered that Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin, who were in the same dorm, were close to Shen Yuan, so he and another boy applied to move to another dorm.
After that, Shen Yuan's family house was sold, and they rented the current two-bedroom, one-living apartment, which is when he moved from home to 503.
This is also why there are only three of them in dorm 503.
"Son of a b*tch!"
Huang Haibao spat at Cao Shunjin: "I treated you to that fried rice just now, and you even ate my portion! Spit it out!"
"This is what I won, what do you mean you treated me?"
Cao Shunjin let out a loud burp: "It's no big deal. Li Zhanpeng also got dumped today, and he's fine."
"Damn, you all know?"
What happened at the school gate that afternoon, Shen Yuan didn't expect it to have already spread.
"Li Zhanpeng is different."
Huang Haibao looked up at Shen Yuan. His well-proportioned physique and solid abs made it normal for girls to like him. But when he looked down at his own bony frame, Old Huang felt even more disheartened: "He at least rolled in the hay with a senior. But what about me?"
When Old Huang said this, the usually jovial Cao Shunjin also fell silent. In three years of university, especially at a school like Overseas Affairs, which was full of beautiful women, not having been in a relationship or rolled in the hay with a woman was truly embarrassing to admit.
Shen Yuan saw their dispirited look and couldn't bear to strike them down further. He had originally wanted to say that at the beginning of the semester, besides Zhou Wanting, Fang Minhui had also expressed interest in him.
Shen Yuan still remembered that during military training breaks, Fang Minhui would bring him water, and when eating in the cafeteria, she would actively sit at the table next to him. In the evenings, she would also find him on WeChat.
On one hand, Shen Yuan's appearance and height could indeed devastate in college; more importantly, he had money at that time.
However, Zhou Wanting quickly nipped this in the bud. She would come to the class every now and then to find Shen Yuan, and her behavior was particularly intimate.
It was as if she was announcing to everyone that this was her sugar daddy, and no one else should even think about him!
So, everyone at that time thought they were a couple.
Shen Yuan was thus tied to Zhou Wanting. For three years of university, due to her deliberate high profile, other girls didn't dare to approach Shen Yuan.
"Looking back now, Zhou Wanting was really good at it. I was completely played by her back then."
Shen Yuan muttered to himself. At this moment, Huang Haibao saw everyone fall silent and couldn't hold back anymore: "Today is a day worth commemorating. Li Zhanpeng and I both got dumped. I have a suggestion: let's go to a street stall and drink until we drop. My treat!"
"Damn it!"
Cao Shunjin stood up and cursed: "I just finished two portions of fried rice! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"Who told you to eat my portion?"
Huang Haibao retorted.
Cao Shunjin grumbled: "Damn Huang Haibao, I seriously suspect you deliberately made me eat those two portions of fried rice. You can't save money like that!"
"I'm really not that kind of person," Old Huang still argued.
Old Huang and Old Cao were also a bickering pair. Shen Yuan couldn't do anything about them and advised: "Alright, alright, go early and come back early, otherwise the dorm will be closed if you come back late."
The turbulent hormones of college students meant passion came and went quickly. After a few bottles of beer, Huang Haibao was back to his lively self.
When returning to the dorm, he was still drunkenly shouting: "Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs. I can live without women in this life! But I can't live without brothers!"
There were many Overseas Affairs students on the road, looking at Huang Haibao as if he were an idiot. Even Shen Yuan and Cao Shunjin felt embarrassed standing next to him.
The next day, as the morning light was still dim, Cao Shunjin forcefully pulled the still-asleep Shen Yuan and Huang Haibao out of bed, saying they should go eat breakfast together, under the pretense that a dorm should be neat and tidy.
This dog-gone Liaobei native drank beer like water. Last night, the three of them drank two cases, and he alone finished one.
Huang Haibao and Shen Yuan grumbled as they got up, cursing Cao Shunjin's family all the way.
The breakfast at Overseas Affairs' first cafeteria was very rich. Besides basic items like soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns, there were also cakes, noodle soups, rice noodle soups, savory pancakes, and even Cantonese-style rice rolls.
"Hey, look."
The three of them each ordered a bowl of rice noodle soup and sat in a corner of the cafeteria. But after only two bites, Cao Shunjin's eyes widened like brass bells.
Shen Yuan and Huang Haibao subconsciously followed Old Cao's gaze and unexpectedly saw Fang Minhui and another classmate, Chen Ling, buying breakfast.
Fang Minhui was tall, at least 168 cm, with fair skin. Today she wore a greenish-blue ultra-short shorts, showcasing her long, straight legs.
Her upper body was a white strapless crop top, encasing her full bust.
Her lower abdomen was flat and firm, and her waist was slender, indicating regular exercise.
Fortunately, she wore an oversized light-colored shirt over it, covering some of her fair skin, otherwise the eyes of all the males in the cafeteria would have been focused on her.
Chen Ling, standing next to her, was clearly just a foil, wearing overalls and a bun, barely cute.
"Old Huang, good news." Shen Yuan retracted his gaze.
"What?"
Seeing Fang Minhui again, Huang Haibao was actually not very enthusiastic, even a little dejected.
"Although Fang Minhui went to the movies with Li Zhanpeng yesterday, they didn't go to a hotel."
"How can you tell?"
"If they had gone to a hotel, they wouldn't be back so early, and they wouldn't be eating breakfast in the cafeteria. Even if they were eating breakfast in the cafeteria, she should be with Li Zhanpeng, not Chen Ling."
"That makes some sense, Li Zhanpeng."
Huang Haibao's heart stirred, and the extinguished spark seemed to have a tendency to rekindle.
"What kind of good news is that?"
Cao Shunjin said indignantly: "If they keep developing like this, rolling in the hay is just a matter of time."
"Damn it, can't you just say less?!"
"."
Shen Yuan was also helpless with these two, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and continued to scan the cafeteria for beauties.
At this moment, after Fang Minhui and Chen Ling bought their soy milk and steamed buns and sat down, they also noticed Shen Yuan and the others.
Shen Yuan's gaze drifted around, and unconsciously returned to Fang Minhui. Just then, Fang Minhui was also looking at Shen Yuan.
The moment their eyes met, Shen Yuan clearly saw the favorability value displayed above Fang Minhui's head.
[Favorability towards host: 72]
