Chapter 6, One should not judge a person by their appearance

Old Qiu took a step forward, then paused, feeling an inexplicable fear: "Model worker, it's still your turn."

"Are you complimenting me? Or are you insulting me?" Cai Zongming exclaimed, "It sounds quite interesting, so I might as well join in and take a look. However, it seems that the five of them are not showing much respect for one another"

Each small dormitory at Songcheng University currently has a landline, but with the widespread use of mobile phones, they are gradually being phased out

Mm, mm, okay, okay, you ask...

The "Golden Elixir" represents another world, one that is illusory and unreal, yet it is filled with hope

Encountering significant events, I completely forgot the previous plans and neglected to chat with Yan Zheke

"Casanova, there is something I need to tell you." As soon as the call connected, Lou Cheng went straight to the point.

Luo Cheng's impression of Zhao Qiang was completely overturned, and he could only express his frustration. He then recalled his favorite skit and pretended to be sentimental, clicking his tongue and shaking his head

The dormitory door was slightly ajar, and Cai Zongming's room was empty, with only one person present. Tang Wen was the youngest student in the entire dormitory, having skipped a grade in the past. However, after graduating from the third year of high school, he quickly transformed into a gaming addict. As long as it was not a class taught by particularly strict teachers who had a penchant for taking attendance, he would stay in the dormitory to play games

"Tang Wen, has the Saint of Love not returned yet?" Lou Cheng inquired

In Cai Zongming's small dormitory, there are two other individuals. One is named Mou Yuanxing, who, along with his high school girlfriend, was admitted to Matsumoto University, making many single individuals envious. Therefore, it is difficult to see him before lights out every day. The other is Qin Mo, a local with a well-off family background. Although he is quite amiable and gets along well with everyone, he often goes out to socialize, leading to different social circles between them.

Luo Cheng was momentarily taken aback before saying: "I left early and did not hear any of this. I will ask someone about it later."

Some matters are not convenient to discuss in the dormitory, so he did not use the landline

Done! They agreed, from the Chinese department, we will meet this Friday for dinner, and if everyone gets along well, we will go out for a social gathering next time

We are in Room 302, Unit 2, Building 7, and we dialed the last four digits 32.

Having finished speaking, he stood up, left the dormitory, and went next door to see if Cai Zongming had returned.

This is the true university life, although noisy, it is beautiful enough and vibrant with youth

Luo Chengyi stated emphatically:

Lou Cheng pondered carefully and exclaimed, "Not bad, very thoughtful. Why don't you give it a try?"

Not a single one has returned

Our small dormitory is all from the School of Software.

Zhang Jingye and Qiu Zhigao exchanged glances, both filled with an eager impulse to try, as well as the excitement and thrill of communicating over the phone and meeting unfamiliar girls for socializing.

These two fellows are quite clever

Loucheng listened for a while, and suddenly the graceful figure of Yan Zheke flashed through his mind, causing his mood to shift from playful to serene.

The model worker is Zhang Jingye, the last member of the small dormitory. He is a man from Northwest China, with a calm demeanor. Although he originally had a decent appearance, years of exposure to wind and sand have left his facial skin pockmarked and not suitable for close inspection

Lou Cheng let out a sound, simply took out his phone, walked out of the dormitory, descended to the courtyard of Building 7, squatted beside the flower bed, lit a cigarette, and made a call to Cai Zongming.

"What is the matter?" Zhao Qiang asked in surprise

When the first to enter was Old Qiu, Qiu Zhigao, standing at 1.75 meters tall, he was about the same height as Lou Cheng, but with a broad build, a round waist, and well-defined muscles. He enjoyed showcasing his physique and strength in the dormitory every day. He was also a member of the Martial Arts Club. Although he had not received any formal martial arts training, he relied on his physique and was an amateur ranked at the sixth level, just slightly below Cai Zongming.

A Qiang, you have betrayed the revolution again

I never expected it, I never expected it, Ah Qiang, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes have also betrayed the revolution

"Then you might as well not go at all," said Zhao Qiang, the second to enter, the dormitory leader, the "study leader," and a study fanatic. He was of medium build with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Lou Cheng genuinely admired his diligence and self-discipline in studying.

Luo Cheng, Qiu Zhigao, and Zhang Jingye were all stunned, feeling that Zhao Qiang's gaze just now clearly conveyed the message:

In the case of having a crush on a girl, it seems inappropriate to get to know other girls and go out for social gatherings together

What happened? Zhao Qiang asked in confusion

At this moment, Lou Cheng exhibited a tranquility that transcended his age, digesting the various emotions brought on by the golden elixir, while saying: "The girls' dormitory phone number carved in the self-study room? Could this be someone’s prank or an act of revenge? What girl would seek to connect with a dormitory like this? Aren't you afraid of being scolded if you call?"

"Indeed, who would have thought that the martial arts club's welcome meeting would be so boring?" Lou Chengcai would not say that he gained a lot from attending the welcome meeting; instead, he intentionally shifted the topic after obtaining Yan Zheke's QQ number, "A Qiang, what were you guys just talking about?"

Uh, you agreed so readily, almost as if it were a matter of course, as if you had been contemplating this for some time... Lou Cheng was taken aback and asked, "Why look for a love guru?"

There are some matters at home. Lou Cheng is making excuses, to be honest, I doubt anyone would believe him

This, this... Zhang Jingye also felt somewhat timid

Extinguishing the cigarette, Lou Cheng sat at the edge of the flower bed, took out his phone once again, logged onto QQ, and clicked on Yan Zheke's profile picture

During the call, Lou Cheng and others could faintly hear the laughter of the girl on the other end. After a few minutes, Zhao Qiang reluctantly hung up the phone, turning back with a beaming smile

After speaking, Zhao Qiang noticed that everyone was staring at him in silence, so he touched his face and said in a puzzled manner

"Forget it, I always feel a bit guilty, so I won't go," Lou Cheng made a decision

"Ah, why aren't you going?" Cai Zongming asked in surprise

Zhao Qiang said seriously: "Lao Qiu and the model worker found a phone on the desk in the self-study room, claiming it was from the girls' dormitory seeking a social connection. I told them not to pay attention to such matters and to focus on their studies honestly."

A Qiang and his friends randomly dialed a number and found a social dormitory, from the Chinese department, and they want you to join. After all, you are a romantic expert, skilled in conversation and love talk, making you perfectly suited for such an occasion

Zhang Jingye followed behind Zhao Qiang and chuckled, "Don't we still not have a partner for our dormitory?"

How is it? Not bad, right

Ah? Cai Zongming was taken aback for a moment before saying: "Oranges, a social gathering is not the same as dating. Everyone comes out to get to know each other, eat and drink, and expand their social circle. No one is forcing you to date. I am so reserved and have never cared about this. Moreover, you and Yan Zheke haven't even started yet; you are still a long way from being a girlfriend. What does this even mean?"

What changes will occur in one's life after today? Will martial arts elevate Yan Zheke's perception of him?

Everyone burst into laughter, and soon began discussing the gathering on Friday. Although it was only Monday, Zhao Qiang, Zhang Jingye, and Qiu Zhigao had already started to fully imagine and boldly hypothesize.

As he dialed the phone, a broad smile suddenly spread across Zhao Qiang's face, and he exhibited a somewhat obsequious demeanor

Cai Zongming was somewhat noisy, but soon he seemed to have reached a quiet place outside, chuckling and saying: "What’s the matter? In such a hurry? We are still having hot pot."

Do I have something dirty on my face

Hmm, hmm, hmm

A random, uncertain outcome, a thrill

"Old Qiu, you go ahead." Zhang Jingye pouted.

A group of weaklings

Students continuously return to their dormitory from the yard, while the corner remains quiet and peaceful, resembling two entirely different worlds

You are honest and simple-minded, your speech is clumsy, and you are not good at talking... Lou Cheng recalled the way Zhao Qiang had chatted and laughed with the girls before, and he gazed intently at his face.

Lou Cheng paused and said: "I will not go"

Zhang Jingye nodded and said: "Moreover, this kind of random matchmaking call might be more appealing to girls, as it gives a sense of meeting by fate across a thousand miles"

Hello, we are from the boys' dormitory. We randomly dialed a girl's dormitory phone, hoping to find a connection for a social gathering through fate. We are not sure if you are interested

"Orange, did they say anything about the welcome meeting? When are the weekly practice classes? What time slots are available for the strength training room?" Qiu Zhigao bombarded Lou Cheng with questions as soon as they met, inquiring about the afternoon's welcome meeting.

Just when Lou Cheng and others thought he was going to say that studying is more important and that youthful hormones should be avoided, he put down his backpack, looked around, walked to Lou Cheng's desk, picked up the landline phone near the door, and said to himself: "Change the last digits to 32, we are in dormitory 302"

In front of Cai Zongming, Lou Cheng did not hide: "I was thinking that I have a crush, so it seems inappropriate to socialize with the girls."

After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and even Zhao Qiang himself could not help but chuckle, shaking his index finger and saying: "Revolutionary partner, revolutionary partner, a revolution also needs a partner!"

Zhao Qiang glanced at Zhang Jingye and Qiu Zhigao, chuckling softly

Ah, youth is the era of hormone secretion, even diligent workers like Lao Mo and Lao Qiu, who are so honest and straightforward, cannot hold back. Zhao Qiang shook his head and sighed, speaking as he put down his backpack and organized his books

He thought for a moment and said, "Aqiang, I have something to do on Friday, I need to go to the city, so I will not participate in the social gathering"

At that moment, the onlooker Zhao Qiang shook his head and said: "You all..."

Cai Zongming clicked his tongue and said, "Chengzi, are you a living antique? I think you could even establish a chastity archway!"

You also know that we are all honest and simple-minded people, not very articulate and not good at conversation. During social gatherings, there always needs to be someone who is good at finding topics and chatting. I had previously thought of looking for a smooth talker, but it seems that having five people would be even worse. Just so happens that you are not going, so...

I do not care what others think; I only feel that I cannot overcome my own barriers

He is not at all barbaric or rude; rather, he is quite simple-hearted. Aside from his fondness for watching some mildly inappropriate films, he has no significant flaws. Moreover, he is quite rational, understanding that at the university level, he is merely at an amateur level of five or six, and it is impossible to achieve much of a future through martial arts. Therefore, he focuses on his studies and did not even attend the martial arts club's orientation.

Are you from the Department of Chinese?

He had a smile at the corner of his mouth, fully understanding and empathizing with his roommates' hormonal surges, and found the whole situation quite interesting. If it weren't for his crush, he would definitely be willing to take a look.

I have discussed with the model worker, and the phone number indeed matches the number range of the girls' dormitory. If we change a few digits at the end, we can reach another girls' dormitory, right? There is no need to worry about pranks or retaliation said Qiu Zhigao, slightly excited.

"Say whatever you want." Lou Cheng hung up the phone, did not get up, still squatting, smoking a cigarette, the glowing tip of the cigarette flickering in the darkness, bringing an unusual tranquility.

Alright, alright...

Zhao Qiang did not hesitate and nodded, saying: "Alright, why don't you help me ask the Cupid if he is available, after all, we need to gather four people; otherwise, it would be rather impolite"
