Chapter 35.2: The Gap
Her porcelain-like smooth skin, enticingly slim waist, and delicate face like a peach blossom, often lowered head, and cautious way of avoiding crowds, like a little animal, could strongly evoke a man’s protective instincts.
The only regret might be that her expression gave off a feeling of being unapproachable.
But that kind of cold expression was the biggest attraction to some guys with peculiar tastes.
Kuudere is great! Ice queens are awesome!
The harder to get, the more enticing!
Jin Huiyou was a well-informed guy, particularly enthusiastic about gathering information on beauties from other departments.
Since the beginning of college, he had almost found out about all the famous beauties on campus.
“Shi Hai, you actually know her! Oh right, you’re a local too. I heard that Zhu Lingjie is also from a local high school. Were you two classmates?”
“Yeah, we went to the same high school and were in the same class.”
“Damn! I knew it! The early bird catches the worm!”
Hearing Jin Huiyou’s gossip, Gao Xiangyang became interested and quickly asked about Jian Sichun.
“What about the other girl? Do you know who she is? The one with the eye patch, she looked pretty too.”
“I have a vague impression of her… I think she’s from the Art Institute and joined the Anime Club, but I don’t know her name…”
“Old Hui, are you even trying?”
“Come on, I’m not a god! How can I know everyone? You think all beauties are as famous as Tian Shui?”
So Tian Shui was really that famous, huh?
Shi Hai felt a bit embarrassed.
He genuinely hadn’t heard of Tian Shui before.
Now it seemed like she wasn’t exaggerating when she said everyone at school knew her.
“That’s true… Hey, Hai, which one is your girlfriend?”
“Neither.”
“What? Really?”
“Really. They’re roommates living off-campus. I live near Zhu Lingjie, so we just happened to meet this morning and walked together.”
Of course, this ‘just happened’ actually meant the two girls came to his house… but that couldn’t be revealed.
Hearing that Shi Hai was neighbors with two beauties, Jin Huiyou finally understood.
“No wonder you don’t live in the dorm! It’s because you have beautiful neighbors!”
Gao Xiangyang rubbed his hands together, showing a flattering smile.
“So you should get one of them, right? Then, hey, could you introduce the other one to me? If it works out, I’ll treat you to a big meal!”
“Ha! You think a big meal is enough to get a beauty’s contact? Dream on!”
Jin Huiyou teased Gao Xiangyang first, then eagerly said to Shi Hai.
“Hey, Hai, I’ll handle all your design assignments from now on! If you don’t feel like attending any classes, let me know, and I’ll call in for you! So consider me first!”
As these two coaxed, other male classmates also crowded around Shi Hai’s desk, making their offers, with some even promising to cover Shi Hai’s meals for a semester.
Little did they know, the few girls in the class were already looking at them with disdain.
Before Shi Hai could respond, the class monitor Ye Guang had seen enough.
He walked over and pushed Gao Xiangyang and Jin Huiyou apart, saying, “Alright, are you guys interrogating him or bidding? Aren’t you ashamed?”
Gao Xiangyang complained with a pout.
“Hey, Boss Ye, you don’t lack girls, but we’re all single here!”
Many boys around nodded in agreement.
Ye Guang, half amused and half exasperated, shooed them away like flies.
“Get lost! Haven’t I invited you to every social event? We’ve had at least seven or eight, right? If you can’t get a girlfriend, isn’t that your own problem? Even when given a chance, you guys are useless!”
These wimps acted like experts when gathering intel on beauties.
But when it came to chatting with girls, forget about bragging; they turned shy, their faces as red as monkey butts, and couldn’t utter a word.
But really, it wasn’t entirely their fault.
Even if they didn’t get stage fright, it was hard to impress any girl.
Because Ye Guang, the handsome class monitor, organized the social events, the attending girls were obviously there for him.
Even girls who hadn’t met Ye Guang would be smitten at first sight.
If Ye Guang left halfway, the event couldn’t even continue.
The boys were actually very grateful to Ye Guang.
He was considerate and capable, didn’t act superior, got along well with the instructors, and took care of the single guys in the class.
The only complaint was…
Why the heck are you so handsome!?
It’s really a case of some having too much while others have none!
