As Cao Mingliang had said, in the following days, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan once again caused quite a stir on the Jiang University campus.
Coupled with their previous encounters, it was only natural that the single male students harbored some resentment towards Qin Tian.
With such an attractive girlfriend who possessed exceptional looks and figure, and was also a super rich beauty, couldn't he just keep a lower profile and let them, these pitiful single dogs, find their own partners sooner?
Having a birthday is one thing, giving gifts is another, but why the need to show off so much?
This was the common sentiment of the vast majority of single male compatriots.
There was no helping it; Qin Tian's actions had directly increased the chances of Jiang University's male students finding partners by several times.
Not only that, but with the heated discussion and fermentation of this matter, it had gradually begun to extend beyond the Jiang University campus, showing signs of going viral.
For instance, on the forums of other schools in Jiangcheng, people had started reposting this thread, and it quickly attracted the envy and discussion of female students from various universities.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan could also clearly feel that more eyes were on them on campus.
For example, one morning, as the two were cycling to class, a senior student suddenly shouted from not too far away.
"Xia Nuannuan, besides that painting and the glass slippers, what other gifts did you receive?"
Beside the senior student, several other girls were smiling brightly, chiming in with their enthusiastic support.
Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, Xia Nuannuan buried her blushing face into Qin Tian's back.
"Seniors, you're too curious."
Qin Tian glanced back and replied.
The senior students, far from being annoyed, just smiled even more happily.
"Junior, don't be stingy, tell us!"
"Yeah, let my boyfriend learn from you."
"Don't go, junior, junior sister, come over and let's chat!"
...
"Let's forget chatting, we're in a hurry for class, bye!"
Qin Tian smiled goodbye and pedaled harder, increasing the bicycle's speed.
Upon arriving at the teaching building, as Qin Tian was parking his bicycle, Xia Nuannuan beside him suddenly said,
"Brother, from now on, when I post anything, I won't make it public anymore. I'll set it to 'view only for me'."
"There's no need to care about this, shouldn't you be used to it by now? Isn't posting meant for sharing your life? If it's only for yourself to see, what's the point of posting?"
"But so many people know about it."
Xia Nuannuan showed a look of helplessness on her face.
"Who cares about them? We should just enjoy our college life."
Qin Tian raised his hand, affectionately ruffling her small head, then placed his right hand on her shoulder.
"Let's go, we have class!"
"Mhm, mhm!"
Xia Nuannuan, holding their textbooks, nodded obediently.
After the morning classes, while having lunch together at the cafeteria, Xia Nuannuan saw a message from their counselor in the class group chat, her face showing surprise.
"Brother, look at this. The counselor said there's a freshman welcome party in the school auditorium tonight, and we should go if we have time."
As she spoke, Xia Nuannuan handed her phone screen to him.
"Freshman welcome party? Cao Mingliang mentioned it."
Qin Tian, while eating, took a closer look at the message in the class group chat and asked Xia Nuannuan, "Do you want to go?"
"Mhm, mhm!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded repeatedly, like a pecking chick.
"Then let's go together. It starts at seven tonight, and we don't have anything else to do anyway."
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Great."
Xia Nuannuan's face bloomed with a sweet smile, and she offered him a peeled shrimp meat with her delicate hand, bringing it to his mouth as a reward.
Qin Tian directly opened his mouth to eat it, and his tongue accidentally brushed against her fingertips.
Her small hand was as fair as jade, slender and delicate like a tender sprout. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also comfortable to hold. When Qin Tian held her hand and walked, he would often unconsciously caress and knead it, as if playing with an exquisite work of art.
He wouldn't say he was a hand fetishist, but he genuinely loved Xia Nuannuan's soft, boneless little hands.
A current seemed to surge through Xia Nuannuan, and a blush appeared on her cute face as she playfully gave him a glare.
Around them, many students who were eating while also paying attention to the two felt as if they had choked.
The men's faces were filled with envy and jealousy, their gazes towards Qin Tian full of resentment.
This guy already had such a good girlfriend, and now he was making it even harder for them to find partners. It was too much!
The girls, while also feeling envious and jealous, also felt inexplicably satisfied, with similar expressions of delighted admiration.
It was like watching a sweet romance drama or a Mary Sue novel, finally seeing the sweet interaction between the male and female protagonists, they were thoroughly pleased.
And this real-life version happening right before them, wasn't it even better than those novels and dramas?
Many girls who enjoyed watching dramas while eating even ate an extra bowl of rice with satisfaction, inspired by this scene.
...
...
At 6:40 PM, Qin Tian rode his bicycle to the girls' dormitory building.
A moment later, Xia Nuannuan came out of the dormitory building.
She looked like she had just taken a shower, her smooth, long black hair cascading down her shoulders. She had also changed into a different outfit and was carrying a bag.
"What are you carrying?"
Qin Tian asked with a nod of his chin.
"Two bottles of drinks, and some fruits and snacks. We'll eat them together later."
Xia Nuannuan replied with a smile.
"You're well-prepared!"
"Hehe... Of course!"
As she spoke, Xia Nuannuan, who had quickly walked up to him, brought with her the fresh scent of a maiden after a bath.
"So fragrant!"
Qin Tian grinned.
"I just took a shower."
Xia Nuannuan, her face slightly flushed, sat sideways on the back seat and skillfully wrapped one arm around his waist.
"Let's go, the party is about to start, we need to hurry."
"Alright!"
Qin Tian pedaled the bicycle and asked caringly, "Are you cold? It's starting to get colder tonight."
"I'm fine, not cold!"
Xia Nuannuan replied with a smile.
"If you're cold, just hug me tighter. I'm full of warmth right now."
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Qin Tian just smiled and didn't explain further.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, Xia Nuannuan understood. Since both her hands were occupied, she forcefully nudged his back with her forehead.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Then why are you hitting me with your head?"
"Just wanted to."
"Heh heh... You understood, right?"
"Understood what?"
"Nuannuan, you've become mischievous. You understand this now."
Xia Nuannuan remained silent and nudged him with her forehead again.
"Mistake, mistake, stop nudging me. It's fine if I get internal injuries, but your little head can't handle it. You're not smart to begin with, don't bump yourself into stupidity."
"You're the stupid one!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we're a match made in heaven, two silly people with a silly girl."
"I'm not silly, you are. You're the most silly."
"Then why are you my girlfriend? What else can you be but a silly girl?"
"Still talking!"
Xia Nuannuan's small hand moved down, pinched the soft flesh of his waist, and squeezed hard.
"Hiss—That hurts, my mistake, my mistake!"
Qin Tian immediately admitted defeat.
Xia Nuannuan let out a proud snort and gently rubbed the spot she had just pinched.
Couples are bound to have playful banter, and the two were becoming increasingly proficient at it without realizing it.
