Zhao Ying quietly opened the dormitory door when the lights were about to be turned off, only to find her two roommates sitting neatly.
The dorm for the campus belle was designed for four people, but only three lived there, as one was studying abroad and wouldn’t return until their third year.
It seemed there was no escaping this judgment, so Zhao Ying immediately placed the milk tea she had been holding in front of the two.
"Try this first! We can talk properly after~"
"Not in a hurry. I heard that Zhao Lian is out to dinner with your vice president tonight?"
The one speaking was their other roommate, Liu Meixun.
At 172 cm tall, with retro waves and vibrant Hong Kong-style makeup, she embodied the mature and sexy style of a confident woman. She had once dazzled at a New Year's party in a backless silk black mini dress while dancing jazz.
"What do you mean my vice president? He’s our vice president!"
Zhao Ying lowered her head and inserted a straw into her drink, handing a cup to Liu Meixun in an attempt to silence her.
"And we only arranged to meet to discuss something."
"Oh~ I believe you."
The campus belle hesitated to speak...
Looking at Zhao Ying's beige polo dress today, her straight bob slightly curled at the ends, adorned with a cute animal hairpin, she appeared quite charming.
"I heard someone say that T-shirts and shorts are the ultimate combo~"
Liu Shuyao stared at Zhao Ying, her intention to scrutinize very clear.
Of course, Zhao Ying felt so embarrassed that she wished she could run to the bathroom and change her clothes, but thankfully, the campus belle quickly pulled her back.
"What’s wrong with this? It looks nice."
"I..."
"You bought it to wear, right? Pure cotton is comfortable enough~"
"Plus, look at your two wardrobes filled with dresses—JK uniforms, French lace, backless, tight-fitting, V-neck..."
As Zhao Ying spoke, she seemed to remember something and pointed at the campus belle's wardrobe.
"And what about that dress you bought for the library from the senior..."
"Hey, hey, hey~"
"You can't say that!"
Liu Shuyiao rushed to cover Zhao Ying's mouth.
She hadn’t expected her secret clothing purchase to be discovered. Given the nature of the matter, Liu Shuyiao felt a bit shy.
"What?"
"What senior?"
Once the gossip spirit was unleashed, it couldn't be contained.
Liu Meixun, who usually didn’t engage with anything related to the second dimension, didn’t catch Zhao Ying’s meaning.
"It’s just a regular dress, maybe a little short..."
Liu Shuyiao wanted to change the topic quickly.
"What?"
"Is that what you call a little?"
Zhao Ying almost spat her milk tea!
"......"
Now, Liu Meixun’s curiosity was fully piqued, and the atmosphere in the dormitory shifted quickly.
What was supposed to be Zhao Ying's trial suddenly became her own?
"Come on, let me see it~"
At that moment, just thinking about that thin fabric made Liu Shuyiao’s cheeks flush from the heat.
She weakly said, "No way~"
...
Two hours later,
Liu Shuyao finally gave in.
Liu Meixun looked at the dress hanging in front of her, and the rabbit hairpin somehow had ended up on Liu Shuyao's head.
The weather in September was still quite warm, and the campus belle wore only a small camisole in the dorm.
It wasn't a big deal until the rabbit hairpin changed everything.
The large expanse of skin exposed at her chest gleamed, with a couple of strands of hair gently brushing over, perfectly covering the curves, making it alluring.
But then there were those innocent apricot eyes, coupled with a hint of red at the corners...
After just a couple of glances, Liu Meixun shook her head in disbelief.
"You really want to make things exciting, don’t you~~~"
Liu Shuyao felt so embarrassed by her blunt words that her toes curled up, and she quickly folded the dress and shoved it to the bottom of the wardrobe.
Her small face was flushed with shame.
"Okay, okay, you've seen it; can we get back to the main topic now?"
"Not so fast! I still have questions to ask!"
Zhao Ying completely forgot her previous situation and leaned closer to the campus belle with a mischievous smile.
"Last mandatory question!"
The two exchanged amused glances, making Liu Shuyiao feel uncomfortable all over.
"When do you plan to wear it?"
"......"
"Oh! That!"
"I still don’t know..."
Liu Shuyao was being honest.
"We haven’t reconciled yet!"
"How can I wear it~"
Saying that, her tone sounded a bit regretful.
Then Liu Meixun slapped the table and pointed to the rabbit ears on the campus belle's head.
"Isn’t this a perfect opportunity to reconcile?"
"Just throw on a trench coat over it, then wear that dress and go find him!"
“Regardless of what you argued about, you two need to make up within an hour! Really!”
“......”
“Damn!”
Zhao Ying imagined that scene, biting her straw tightly.
“That's indeed stimulating~”
Liu Shuyao felt her face heat up at the thought and quickly tucked away her rabbit ears.
Her speech was a bit stammering: “This... this isn’t a good idea, is it?”
“What’s wrong with it? As long as the outcome is good~”
Eventually, their conversation veered off-topic, and by the time the lights were about to go out, Liu Shuyao had gained quite a bit of new knowledge...
While the girls were chatting animatedly, the boys’ dorm was much quieter, and no one specifically asked about Qi Dong's behavior that night.
Wang Hao was busy with student council matters, while others were occupied planning details for the data visualization display.
Only the fat guy came up with a reason that was miles away from the truth.
“What debate topic did you guys come up with tonight? Do you need me to give you some advice? After all, I’m well-versed in current affairs.”
“From national politics to stealing chickens in the village, I can analyze it all.”
“What debate topic?” Qi Dong was confused by the fat guy's words.
“Isn’t it that you were with the debate club president tonight? Weren’t you discussing the anniversary debate topic?”
“Ah?”
“Oh, that’s what you meant! Right, right, we did discuss it a bit.”
Qi Dong suddenly realized, using the opportunity to drink water to mask his nerves.
“We're probably going to focus on university life or romance, since it fits the current campus vibe.”
Of course, as soon as the fat guy heard “romance,” he perked up.
“Then you should come to me! I have experience in this!”
“Are you sure? What experience do you have?”
The fat guy's confident statement drew skepticism from the dorm leader, as everyone knew he was perpetually single.
“While I may not have practical experience, my theoretical knowledge is abundant! Besides, you need theoretical knowledge before you can practice, right?”
Xiang Ran listened to the fat guy's excuses, remembering how many times he had been tricked over the past few days.
He shook his head helplessly: “Your theoretical knowledge is as ridiculous as Turing deciding to become a painter.”
“How can you say that? If it weren’t for me, would you have developed so quickly with the campus belle?”
“......”
Hearing this, Xiang Ran sighed, unsure of how to respond.
In their dorm, the dorm leader Wang Hao had a stable girlfriend, while Qi Dong had just been dumped by his ex-girlfriend when he started college, so he had some experience.
As for Xiang Ran, well, his situation was a different kind of complicated...
