Liu Yitong nodded.
He thought, it's no wonder.
Girls from Xiangnan are very fiery.
Before long, the barbecue arrived.
"Ladies first, ladies first."
Liu Yitong said with a smile.
Mainly because they had already eaten, so now they wanted to eat as little as possible.
Sheng Lan took a skewer of beef and handed it to Wang Yue, saying, "Wang Yue, here."
Wang Yue politely smiled and said, "You eat first, I'm not very hungry yet."
Sensing that Wang Yue was intentionally distancing himself, a trace of sadness flashed in Sheng Lan's eyes.
Since childhood, she had been a pampered darling in the eyes of teachers and classmates, with countless boys secretly admiring her. She never imagined that one day she would be rejected.
Perhaps this is a case of opposites attracting, or one person taming another.
Sheng Lan forced a smile and said, "Then eat when you're hungry later."
As she spoke, she put the beef skewer into her mouth.
Liu Yitong clearly wanted to liven things up. He smiled and said, "We are all gathered here today, and it's very happy. How about everyone performing a talent?"
"Forget it, I don't have any talent."
Jiang Baiqi quickly said.
"You must have some skill, right? It's easy to be laughed at if you don't have any skills as someone from a top university."
Liu Yitong patted Jiang Baiqi on the shoulder and said.
"I play Go. Does that count as a skill?"
Jiang Baiqi said after thinking.
"It counts, but it's not very watchable. How about Ji Ban Ge?"
Liu Yitong looked at Xie Jiban.
Xie Jiban was worrying about how to salvage his image. Hearing Liu Yitong call him, he quickly said, "Then, shall I sing a song? I'm pretty good at singing."
"Alright, show us!"
Liu Yitong led the applause.
The others followed suit.
"Ahem."
Xie Jiban cleared his throat and then sang a cappella: "I take a gentle bite, you say you love me..."
It was Jay Chou's "Sweet".
Xie Jiban wasn't bragging; he could indeed sing well. He seemed to be deliberately imitating Jay Chou, sounding about sixty to seventy percent similar.
While singing, Xie Jiban looked at Shi Bing with deep affection, as if he were singing specifically for her.
Although it was indeed pleasant to hear, when Shi Bing saw Xie Jiban opening and closing his mouth, occasionally spitting a little, she felt a bit nauseous.
She subtly shifted to the side, thinking, "This guy is too greasy. I should avoid him in the future."
After the song finished, everyone applauded and cheered.
Xie Jiban felt that he had finally salvaged some of his image and hoped to leave a good impression on Shi Bing.
Then, Liu Yitong looked at Wang Yue again and said, "Next, we invite our top scholar to perform a talent!"
Everyone turned their attention to him. Wang Yue shrugged and said, "Actually, I don't have any talent."
"Come on, I don't believe you."
Liu Yitong quickly said, "Hurry up, hurry up, this is no fun."
"Perform something, perform something!"
"Go, Yue Ge, you're the best!"
"Don't be shy, show us something."
Everyone said.
"Alright then."
Wang Yue said, "Ladies, can I borrow two rubber bands? Who has one?"
Shi Bing was the first to take out two hair ties from her pocket: "I have!"
She then handed them to Wang Yue.
Sheng Lan watched with annoyance, thinking, "Why didn't I act faster?"
"Thank you."
Wang Yue said after taking the rubber bands.
Shi Bing looked at Wang Yue, her face flushing slightly. Their hands had brushed when she handed him the rubber bands, and she felt a tingling sensation, something she had never experienced before.
"Strange, why is that?"
Shi Bing secretly observed Wang Yue.
She had always disliked men and had never been in a relationship.
She had previously thought she was a lesbian, only to discover she wasn't interested in women either.
"Could it be that I don't dislike men, but I just haven't met someone who made my heart flutter?"
Shi Bing thought, her mind in a turmoil.
At this moment, Wang Yue held up the two rubber bands: "These are just ordinary rubber bands, right?"
He said this while flicking the rubber bands against each other.
"Yes."
Liu Yitong replied first.
What Wang Yue was about to perform was the rubber band penetration magic trick that Liu Qian had performed on CCTV. Honestly, it wasn't difficult; he had practiced it specifically in his past life.
"I know, Yue Ge, you're going to perform Liu Qian's rubber band penetration magic trick, right?"
Xie Jiban said at this time.
"Yes."
Wang Yue smiled and said.
Then, in front of everyone, he showed them his skill. The rubber band, which should have been impossible to move, inexplicably penetrated through.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Sheng Lan exclaimed, "Wow, Wang Yue, you're amazing! Can you teach me?"
Shi Bing said, "Show us again, I'm sure I can find a flaw."
"Exactly, exactly! It was too fast, I couldn't see clearly."
Under everyone's strong request, Wang Yue picked up the rubber bands again: "Then watch closely."
Everyone stared intently, trying to spot any trick.
Wang Yue deliberately slowed down his movements, but even so, they couldn't find any flaws. They just watched the rubber band inexplicably penetrate.
"Wow! I still didn't see anything!"
"This is truly amazing. Even at this slow speed, I couldn't understand it. Is this close-up magic? I love it."
"Wang Yue, you must teach me this trick! I'll be your disciple."
Facing everyone's astonishment,
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Actually, this trick is very simple, not difficult at all."
Then, he started teaching them on the spot.
Unfortunately, after a while, everyone discovered a serious problem.
Brain: I got it!
Hands: You're kidding!
After trying for a while, everyone lost interest in learning.
As students from top universities, they couldn't even learn a simple magic trick, which made everyone feel a sense of frustration.
Shi Bing's eyes, however, began to sparkle as she looked at Wang Yue. She had already found him quite handsome earlier, and after he performed a magic trick, he became even more so.
However, Sheng Lan was persistently by her side, making Shi Bing hesitant to express herself. It would be difficult to get along with her roommate if she did.
"I'll wait until Sheng Lan gives up before I consider it,"
Shi Bing thought.
Moreover, Wang Yue had said he had a girlfriend today, which was another point of hesitation for Shi Bing. She was a proud person and disdained being a mistress.
After Wang Yue finished his magic performance, it was Liu Yitong's turn.
Liu Yitong also decided to perform a magic trick, but his was full of flaws.
Everyone laughed heartily as they watched.
Finally, Liu Yitong smiled and said, "I've embarrassed myself."
The dinner party that evening ended successfully.
On the way back,
Jiang Baiqi said shyly to everyone, "Brothers, I think I've found my true love. Yuan Hua is exactly like my dream girl."
"Hahaha, then bravely pursue her. Brother has already asked for you; she's still single!"
Liu Yitong said with a smile.
"From now on, brothers, help me out more. I've never been in a relationship, but I genuinely like Yuan Hua."
Jiang Youqi said with a smile.
"Don't worry, we brothers will definitely help you pursue Yuan Hua with all our might!"
Liu Yitong patted his chest.
Meanwhile, Xie Jiban was a bit dejected. He said, "Brothers, did I not perform well? Shi Bing is ignoring me now. Even when I added her as a friend, there was no response."
Jiang Baiqi comforted him, "Look on the bright side. They only just left, perhaps they haven't checked their phones yet. Once they check their phones, they'll naturally accept your friend request."
Xie Jiban felt somewhat comforted, his eyes lighting up, "I think you're right. Why didn't I think of that? It seems I was thinking too narrowly."
At this moment, Wang Yue's phone kept ringing.
He saw that Sheng Lan had applied to add him as a friend. One person, however, he hadn't expected.
Shi Bing had also taken the initiative to add him as a friend?
Wang Yue looked up at Xie Jiban, unsure whether to deliver this bad news.
It seemed they weren't not checking their phones; they simply had no intention of adding you as a friend.
It seemed Xie Jiban had no chance at all. But what did Shi Bing want by adding him?
He hadn't interacted with her much today, except for performing a magic trick and using her rubber bands.
With a sense of curiosity, Wang Yue clicked to accept.
After accepting, he thought for a moment and decided to pull Xie Jiban over. If the two of them were to fall out over Shi Bing, it would be completely unnecessary.
"Brother, look, Shi Bing added me as a friend."
Wang Yue took out his phone and showed it to Xie Jiban.
"Holy cow?"
Xie Jiban was stunned for a moment, then slumped his shoulders, "It seems I have no chance at all. She didn't even agree to my friend request."
Liu Yitong and Jiang Baiqi leaned over.
Liu Yitong said, "Holy cow, it seems Shi Bing is interested in you, Wang Yue. I'm a little jealous that such a beautiful girl took the initiative to add you."
Jiang Baiqi also smiled and said, "It seems Shi Bing didn't fancy our Ji Ban Ge. But fortunately, Yuan Hua accepted my friend request."
"Holy cow, brothers, stop rubbing salt in my wounds. I've been heartbroken twice in just one day."
Xie Jiban sighed mournfully.
"Twice? Where did the second time come from?"
Jiang Baiqi asked curiously.
"He approached a girl at Weiyang Lake and was also rejected when he tried to get her contact information."
Wang Yue said.
"Hahaha, amazing! You dared to approach a senior at Weiyang Lake on your first day. I salute you, man!"
Liu Yitong said with a laugh.
"The most infuriating thing is that the girl rejected me and then asked Yue Ge for his contact information. It made me so angry."
Xie Jiban bitterly reflected, "It seems I can't go out with Yue Ge anymore. Otherwise, all the girls' attention will be drawn to Yue Ge, and I'll have no chance!"
Liu Yitong laughed, "Be more confident. Whether Wang Yue is with you or not, you won't be able to get contact information."
"Damn it!"
Xie Jiban shouted.
After returning to their dormitory, the few of them began to wash up. In bed that night, they started chatting again.
"Let's all state our ages? The oldest is called the boss, the second oldest is called the second, and we can't keep calling each other brother, brother, can we?"
Xie Jiban suggested.
"I think this suggestion is good."
Jiang Baiqi immediately agreed.
"I have no objections, it's up to you guys."
Wang Yue said, lying on the bed and playing with his phone.
"Then I'll go first. I'm 19 this year."
Liu Yitong said with a smile.
"19? So young. I'm already 20 this year."
Xie Jiban said proudly, "Is there anyone older than me now?"
Jiang Baiqi shook his head and said, "Probably not. I'm also 19 this year."
Finally, it was Wang Yue's turn to speak. He smiled and said, "I'm 18."
"Whoa, the youngest!"
Xie Jiban exclaimed dramatically.
"Brother Jiang, what month were you born?"
Liu Yitong asked.
"I'm November,"
Jiang Baiqi said.
"Hahaha, then I'm a little older than you. I'm June."
Liu Yitong said with a smile.
"Okay, then it's decided from now on. I'm the boss, Liu Yitong is the second, Jiang Baiqi is the third, and Wang Yue is the youngest!"
Xie Jiban said with a smile.
He had the advantage in terms of age. The thought of everyone calling him boss from now on made him secretly pleased.
Wang Yue didn't mind this.
At this time, Liu Yitong said again, "Brothers, then it's time for us to elect a dorm leader. I propose that the oldest person take the position, what do you think?"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"No problem!"
The three of them said one after another.
Being a dorm leader wasn't easy. There were hygiene checks, safety checks, and the dorm leader had to cooperate with them.
"Alright, since I'm the oldest."
Xie Jiban gritted his teeth and said.
At this time, Jiang Baiqi said again, "Our advisor seems to be a girl, right? We have a class meeting the day after tomorrow to elect class cadres. Does anyone have any ideas?"
Xie Jiban said first, "Then in that case, I want to run for class monitor or youth league secretary. These positions have a lot of power and can be the most important step towards my goal of finding a partner!"
Liu Yitong quickly said, "Holy cow, brother, don't even think about it. How many people are eyeing these two positions?"
"Then are you, Second Brother, also planning to run?"
Xie Jiban asked.
"Of course. Although the competition is fierce, I've decided to run for class monitor anyway. Maybe everyone will be blinded? Besides, if I become the class monitor, our dorm will benefit. We'll definitely get special treatment in the future!"
Liu Yitong said with a smile.
Xie Jiban felt that he might not be able to compete with Liu Yitong based on his qualifications. After thinking about it, he said, "Then I'll run for deputy class monitor!"
Jiang Baiqi said lazily, "Why do you all want to be class cadres? I'm different. I plan to be a salted fish."
Jiang Baiqi's biggest dream was to play games freely after getting into university. Although he had accidentally gotten in with pretty good grades, that didn't stop him from playing games.
Wang Yue didn't join the others' conversation. At this time, he was chatting with Qiao Zixuan, Sheng Lan, and Shi Bing.
"Sheng Lan: Wang Yue, the moment I saw you today, I knew you were my type. I was a bit sad when I heard you had a girlfriend, but it's okay, I will definitely wait for you. If you break up one day, please find me immediately!"
"Shi Bing: Hello, classmate Wang. It was a pleasure to meet you today. Shall we be friends?"
"Xiao Xuan: Pig head, confess! Have any girls been flirting with you today? I saw the news saying girls these days are very bold. You must remain unswayed, understand!"
