Chapter 55 Holy crap, a fairy!
Lin Ran took the cigarette.
"Lin Ran. From Xiaoxiang."
"Hunan is great! The girls from Hunan are beautiful!"
Another boy leaned down from the top bunk. He was tall and thin, with a slightly square head.
"Damn it, Lao Yao, your crappy watch is practically smeared on someone's face!"
He called out to Yao Ziwen, then nodded to Lin Ran.
"Li Yifan. From Jiangcheng."
"Oh, you have no taste. This watch was a college acceptance gift from my dad. It only cost 25,000 yuan, but it's still passable!"
Yao Ziwen extended his wrist in front of Li Yifan.
"A 25,000 watch looks like a 250 on your wrist."
"You don't know anything."
Lin Ran listened to the two bickering and found the atmosphere quite pleasant.
The dormitory room has four people, with bunk beds and desks underneath.
Then he saw a third person.
A person sat quietly on the other lower bunk by the window, wearing a loose light gray T-shirt. He was thin and small, and his skin was so white that you could see the blue veins.
Lin Ran looked at it for two seconds.
"How can you bring your girlfriend into the dorm?"
Yao Ziwen and Li Yifan both grinned at the same time.
"Hahaha, Lao Lin..." Yao Ziwen slapped his thigh and laughed, "His name is Wei Min, he's our roommate, from Suzhou!"
The boy sitting on the edge of the bed looked up and gave Lin Ran a resentful look.
"Ran-ge, I'm a boy."
Damn.
Lin Ran glanced at him again, her delicate features adorned with a thin headband, her voice carrying a soft, gentle Wu dialect accent.
He was born with the divine body of the Southern Liang Dynasty.
Sorry.
Lin Ran smiled.
"Alright, alright, everyone's here."
Yao Ziwen stubbed out his cigarette in a can on the windowsill: "To be fair, let's draw lots to choose our beds now. Wei Min is too short to reach the light switch, so he'll go first. I didn't put the bed near the door in."
Beds near the door usually require the lights to be turned off every night, which is a little inconvenient.
"I don't care, I'll just choose the last one."
Lin Ran didn't care about the Dao.
Having lived two lives, he had a better understanding of people. These boys were all quite guileless.
Logically, bed selection is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the last one to arrive will basically only get the worst spot. However, Yao Ziwen still suggested drawing lots and took Wei Min into consideration.
After the draw, Lin Ran was surprisingly lucky, getting a bed by the window. Yao Ziwen, on the other hand, got a bed by the door and didn't say anything.
The four people started putting things on the bed.
Yao Ziwen was the first to sit back on the bed, take out his phone, and sigh.
"Sigh. The girls at Luzhou University are so lucky."
Li Yifan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
"They must be so happy to have a handsome and rich guy like me, someone they'd all be chasing after."
"humor."
Li Yifan snorted. "Do you know what my nickname is at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School?"
"What's your name?"
"The Casanova".
"Self-proclaimed, isn't it?"
"Self-proclaimed? Go ask on the Jiangcheng No.1 High School forum, everyone knows me, Li Yifan. In my senior year of high school, two out of the three most beautiful girls in our school wrote me love letters."
"And there's one more."
"There's another one she was too embarrassed to write down. She asked someone to pass on the message."
Yao Ziwen laughed. "You're just fucking bragging."
"I'm bragging?" Li Yifan sat up. "Do you know who my ex-girlfriend was? She was our high school English teacher. Twenty-six years old, 1.68 meters tall, the kind who wore stockings to class. We dated for three months. Then I got bored, and she broke up with me."
"Why was she the one who initiated the breakup? Did she dump you?"
"Wouldn't it hurt her pride if I brought that up? I, Li Yifan, never hurt a woman's pride."
"If you had made up another five-cent story about the English teacher, I almost would have believed it," Yao Ziwen said.
"What do you mean by making this up? You're just jealous."
"I'm jealous of you? Do you know how many I dated in high school?" Yao Ziwen stretched out his hand, spreading his five fingers.
"Five is hardly enough to be called a lot?"
"Five a year."
"You must have been really busy in your senior year of high school. You had to prepare for the college entrance exam and date at the same time."
"Time management. Do you know what time management is? Go shopping with A in the morning, watch a movie with B in the late morning, have lunch with C at noon, and you can meet up with five people a day! Send messages in rotation from Monday to Friday. You can't send the wrong messages, or they'll explode. Once I sent a message meant for C to F, and I had to make four phone calls that night to appease him."
"I think you're hallucinating from playing CF (CrossFire)."
"You're just envious and jealous!"
Li Yifan rolled over and sat up in his bunk, legs crossed. "Then let me ask you, what's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?"
"Open your eyes."
"Wrong. A true Casanova doesn't even need to open his eyes to accurately find the girls' profile pictures on his list. Before he even opens his eyes, the 'Good Morning' message has already been delivered."
Lin Ran leaned against the bedpost, listening to the two of them singing in harmony.
I wondered if these two had ever actually dated.
Yao Ziwen turned to look at him. "Old Lin, how many girlfriends did you have in high school?"
"We haven't talked about it."
"Not a single one?" Yao Ziwen asked.
"no."
Yao Ziwen jumped off the bed, walked up to Lin Ran, patted him on the shoulder, and looked serious.
"Old Lin, let me share some dating tips with you." He put his hands behind his back, pacing like a teacher on a podium.
"You must be willing to spend money on girls. It's not that they're vain or materialistic. What they need is a sense of ritual. Gifts for holidays, surprises for anniversaries, and decent restaurants for dates. As long as you provide enough of that sense of ritual, they will like you and fall in love with you."
Li Yifan also came down from the upper bunk and stood next to Yao Ziwen, adding:
"Also, you need to show her meticulous care. Say good morning, good afternoon, and good night to her every day, ask her what she ate, what it tasted like, whether she was in a good mood, and whether anyone made her angry. This kind of meticulous care is the most touching thing for a girl."
The two people, one fat and one thin, looked like a pair of door gods.
Lin Ran nodded.
"Been taught a lesson."
Yao Ziwen patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Study hard. Four years of university is enough for you to graduate."
Then he turned to Wei Min. "And you? Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
Wei Min shook her head.
"What about your boyfriend?"
Wei Min's face flushed red, and she glared resentfully at Yao Ziwen: "I'm a boy!"
Yao Ziwen chuckled: "Just kidding. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Yao Ziwen sat back on the bed and picked up his phone again to scroll through it. As he scrolled, he called out.
"Holy crap, she's a fairy!"
Li Yifan immediately leaned closer. "What fairy? Let me see."
Yao Ziwen turned his phone screen around. It showed the school forum, where someone had posted a thread titled "Encountered a fairy at freshman registration, now surrounded by clubs," accompanied by a photo.
The photo shows a girl in a sky-blue dress, with her hair in a low ponytail and wearing a sun-protective mask. She is surrounded by several upperclassmen holding up club signs.
