Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 569 - 214: Big Sister 3 Still Doesn’t Have a Boyfriend—It’s All the Boss’s Fault! (2)

The youngest in Room 501 also informed her roommates about her plans to stay out overnight, which stirred quite a bit of emotion among the others.

"Candy, it’s not like you don’t have a few guys chasing after you. It’s just that you don’t accept them," Popcorn comforted her with a smile.

"Those guys, forget it. One’s not handsome enough, one’s boring, and one looks too weak. If it’s not a high-quality relationship, I’d rather stay single!" Candy said haughtily.

"Yeah, the ones I’ve encountered are similar, and I even met a weirdo with zero emotional intelligence who kept trying to show off what he thought was humor. It was so awkward!"

"What’s that compared to the guy I went on a first date with, who suggested splitting the bill, saying something about gender equality and how it’s common abroad? I blocked him on QQ right then and there!"

"I know someone who’s decent in all aspects, but his studies are a total mess. He’s failing all the time, and after graduation, he might not even be able to find a job. I can’t support him forever, can I?"

"..."

Candy, Little One, Jelly, and Luo Xi were like they were hosting a roast session, critiquing their suitors, yet none of them were satisfied.

Popcorn, who had a boyfriend, naturally stayed out of it. She was quite satisfied with Cai Wensheng.

Another person not participating was Nanaz, since she was in the shower.

Finally, Luo Xi sighed and summarized, "I understand why we have suitors yet remain single—it’s because our standards are too high. But why are our standards so high? Have any of you thought about the reason?"

Little One, Candy, and Jelly paused for a moment, then almost in unison said, "Because of the class rep!"

When you have someone around you with absolute beauty, a model’s figure, top academic performance, multiple talents, promising future, romantic and charming demeanor, generous nature, high fashion sense, amazing basketball skills, and perfect talent that seems almost flawless, and they are around all the time in class, making acquaintances with them, it’s only natural that girls will subconsciously use him as a benchmark to measure other boys.

Then they will dismiss this suitor as insufficient, and that one as lacking. Even if some are barely decent, they still fall short, and ultimately it leaves them dissatisfied.

But how many guys at the whole economics college are high, rich, and handsome like Su Zelin?

When they use such a standout as a yardstick, they’re bound to remain single.

This situation might only change after graduation when they leave Su Zelin behind. Only then may they gradually be less influenced by him, lowering their standards.

This is especially true for Luo Xi. Considering her family background and personal qualities, she’s quite outstanding herself, and her mentality is quite lofty. There’s hardly any guy who can match up to her.

Thus, in her previous life, Luo Xi remained single throughout her four years in university, and even after graduation into her career, she stayed single into successful entrepreneurship.

The more exceptional she was, the fewer her choices became. Eventually, she ended up a single ’old maid,’ unmarried even at thirty, and her parents, the Luo Jingxian couple, were anxious for her, jokingly wishing her finance company would go bankrupt so she’d lower her standards.

"Exactly, it’s because of the class rep!"

The class beauty resolutely blamed the standout, "Our standards weren’t that high originally. It’s all the class rep’s fault; we should demand compensation for the loss of our youth!"

Candy half-jokingly said, "Ah Xi, anyway, since Nanaz has a boyfriend, why not make a move on the class rep? Don’t let the good stuff go to waste on outsiders!"

Previously, when Ding Linna was interested in Su Zelin, they wouldn’t make such jokes, but now it was okay.

With Nanaz having a claim, the class rep shouldn’t rightfully occupy the top spot.

"No, don’t talk nonsense. I never thought that way!"

Luo Xi quickly waved her hand, her face instantly turning red.

Luckily, Nanaz was in the bathroom, otherwise who knows what she would think if she heard this.

"Shh!"

She gestured for silence, saying sheepishly, "Don’t go spreading this stuff around!"

"I actually think Candy is right."

Jelly, thinking Luo Xi was still considering Ding Linna, said indifferently, "What’s the big deal, anyway? Nanaz and her boyfriend are settled for sure, and at most, the class rep’s just talking the talk. If you really go for it, she’ll surely be happy for you as a good friend!"

Happy, my foot. Her supposed boyfriend is the class rep.

If I step into this, Nanaz and I would be just plastic sisters.

The class beauty thought to herself.

"I’m definitely not going for it. If you want to, you go!"

"I would if I could, but do you think the class rep would be interested in me?"

"Exactly. Ah Xi, if I had your conditions, I would’ve gone after the class rep since freshman year, not waited until junior year!"

"..."

Amidst their teasing, Nanaz emerged from the bathroom, "What were you guys chatting about just now, being so noisy?"

"We were talking about letting Ah Xi..."

Before Candy could finish her sentence, the class beauty covered her mouth.

"Nanaz, they were telling me to hurry up and find a boyfriend so I won’t regret not having dated by the time I leave college!"

As Luo Xi spoke, she eyed the others, meaning that whoever mentioned to Nanaz about me flirting with the class rep would have to face my wrath.

Seeing this, the other girls held their tongues.

"Ah, so that’s it. Ah Xi, what kind of boyfriend do you want to find?"

Ding Linna asked with interest.

Someone like the class rep, but not a player would be ideal.

However, finding such a guy might be even harder than finding a giant panda.

Luo Xi thought silently.
