Chapter 22: The Daughter of the Du Family

"Get up!"

At 7:30, Zhao Heng placed the baozi and soy milk he had bought from the school canteen on the table, then woke up Qiao Fatso and Song Qingguan. Qiao Fatso was originally holding the quilt tightly, unwilling to let go, but when he saw the fragrant baozi and soy milk, he sat up abruptly, his nose sniffing around.

His body fat jiggled a couple of times, and then he tumbled out of bed, rushing straight for the baozi and soy milk. However, Zhao Heng grabbed him and stopped him, saying, "Go wash up first, then eat. Qiao Yuncai, how can you be so hungry? You ate almost two pounds of food last night."

"Brother Heng, let me have one first..."

Qiao Fatso waved his hands in the air, but unable to resist Zhao Heng's strength, he had no choice but to go to the bathroom to wash up with a helpless look. Song Qingguan also got out of bed. Perhaps it was because he had a good night's sleep, or perhaps the danger had passed, his face had a hint of rosy color as he said, "Thank you, Brother Heng."

Zhao Heng waved his hand lightly and smiled faintly, "We're all roommates now, we'll be together for four years, no need to be so formal! Go wash up, then have breakfast. I bought you a bottle of medicinal wine and some anti-inflammatory medicine. Rub it on your injuries later, or I can take you to the school clinic."

Last night, Zhao Heng wanted to take Song Qingguan to the hospital, but the latter was afraid of bringing danger to them and insisted he was fine. Zhao Heng couldn't persuade him and, after checking that his injuries weren't serious, let him be. However, this morning, he still went to the supermarket to buy medicine to help Song Qingguan recover from his bruises faster.

"No, I'll just rub the medicinal wine, thank you..."

Song Qingguan wanted to thank him again but stopped in time. He knew Zhao Heng didn't like formalities, so he smiled and went to the balcony to wash up. Huahai University's dormitories were three to a room, with three bunk beds, a desk and chair under each bed, a bathroom, and a balcony. Although the space wasn't large, it was enough for the three of them to live in.

As soon as Zhao Heng laid out the soy milk and baozi, Qiao Fatso pulled over a chair, grabbed a large baozi before even sitting down, and took a fierce bite. With his mouth full of oil, he sighed contentedly, "So good, I love these meat-filled baozi. Brother Heng, you're my soulmate."

Zhao Heng clearly stated, "You can only have five!"

Five minutes later, when Zhao Heng and Song Qingguan were slowly eating their first baozi, Qiao Yuncai was already on his third, making the former smile bitterly at his eating style. The satisfied fatso patted his stomach and said, "I have a life goal, which is to be a rich young man who eats well and flirts with girls on the street every day."

"Unfortunately, there are no beauties around now, give me an orange sprinkled with Wu salt to eat."

At this, Qiao Yuncai ignored the disdainful looks from Zhao Heng and Song Qingguan and boldly shared, "Let me tell you, you can judge a girl's year by her walking style. A slight gait is a freshman, a moderate gait is a sophomore, and a bold gait... definitely a junior."

"We should chase freshmen."

Qiao Yuncai mumbled as he swallowed his baozi, pulling at his collar, "Other girls are either too much for us or we're too much for them, and they have high standards, looking at background, potential, and appearance. Only the freshmen who just entered the school still have some innocence and sincerity, making them the right targets."

Song Qingguan, who seemed to be eating a plain baozi for the first time or was used to eating nutritious meals at home, had a strong appetite for the food in front of him and was eating steadily. However, when he heard Qiao Yuncai's words, he looked up, his eyes twinkling, "There is indeed an exceptional freshman, the daughter of the Du family."

The danger from last night had passed, and his mood had improved.

"Daughter of the Du family? Du Ziyi?"

Qiao Yuncai, who seemed to know everything, picked up the topic as soon as Song Qingguan mentioned it, "Right, I almost forgot about this stunning beauty. I heard that this Du family daughter, who returned from studying abroad, is not only beautiful and refined but also well-versed and talented. Most importantly, she has a strong personality."

"She even entered Huahai University on her own, without the Du family's help."

"Exactly!"

Song Qingguan exhaled a long breath and joined the gossip he had started, "Everyone in Huahai knows that the Du family has only two daughters. The elder sister has been studying abroad for years and won't return to Huahai. The family had to bring the younger daughter back to Huahai."

Song Qingguan, who knew a bit more, added, "They want her to study and grow in Huahai while gradually getting her involved in the Du family business. Mr. Du seems to be grooming her to be the future successor. This news made many local young men who were planning to study abroad change their minds and enter Huahai University instead."

"After all, winning the heart of a beauty means you don't have to struggle for the rest of your life."

Qiao Yuncai looked at Song Qingguan, who seemed a bit wistful, and smiled meaningfully, "Song, did you come to Huahai University because of Du Ziyi? Otherwise, with your father's billions, you could have studied at any prestigious or even mediocre university abroad. Why would you come to Huahai University?"

At this, he suddenly closed his mouth, realizing he had said something wrong, "Qingguan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's fine."

Song Qingguan's expression darkened, but he waved it off and then confessed honestly, "I didn't go abroad or to any other place to study mainly because I was worried about being in an unfamiliar environment where Zhang Ningyan could easily have me killed. I wouldn't even have bones left, so I ended up applying to Huahai University."

He exhaled a long breath and added with a bitter smile, "After all, I know Huahai and have some relatives here. Zhang Ningyan wouldn't dare to go too far, or it would cause trouble for those with vested interests. Last night's extreme actions were because she felt her prey was slipping away, so she had people chase me for several streets."

At this, he changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on the unpleasant matters, "Guys, I have no ulterior motives with Du Ziyi. After all, I know my limits. What right does a fallen young master have to pursue a rich girl? Besides, you don't know that the third son of the Ding family has already declared on the forum that he will win her heart?"

When he mentioned the third son of the Ding family, his expression faltered slightly.

Song Qingguan glanced at Qiao Yuncai and further confirmed his innocence, "How can we dare to compete for a woman the third son of the Ding family has set his sights on? If I even tried, I'd be beaten to a pulp by the third son. My family is just a real estate developer, while the Ding family is one of the top figures in Huahai, with the father being the vice mayor."

Song Qingguan took a sip of soy milk and concluded, "Although the third son of the Ding family hasn't explicitly forbidden others from approaching Du Ziyi, everyone understands that if someone without a chance gets close to her, it's just a way to highlight him. But if someone tries to win her favor..."

"That person will definitely be in trouble!"

Qiao Yuncai frowned slightly, "The third son of the Ding family?" He chuckled, "The three big shots in Huahai are the red-topped merchant Du Tianxiong, the grassland hero Zhang Xiaolin, and the beauty Ye Shishi. I've only heard of these three, but now the Ding family is rising, showing that Huahai is truly a land of talented people."

"The Ding family rose because of the Du family!"

Song Qingguan became interested and shared what he had heard, "I heard that the vice mayor of Huahai was transferred here thanks to Mr. Du. Otherwise, how could he have risen so quickly in Huahai? It's rumored that the vice mayor and Du Tianxiong were once comrades-in-arms, and Du Tianxiong highly regards the third son of the Ding family, seeing him as a capable person."

"There's a possibility of a marriage alliance between the two families, so Du Ziyi is almost considered the third son's woman."

Qiao Fatso exclaimed, "Another good cabbage has been eaten by a pig."

Song Qingguan nodded, "Exactly!" Then he glanced at Zhao Heng, who was calmly eating his baozi, and added with a hint of surprise, "Women talk about men, and men talk about women, but you, the leader, don't seem interested. This is Du Ziyi, the daughter of the Du family, a beauty of unparalleled charm."

"One of the few top beauties in all of Huahai."

Zhao Heng, who had already finished eating, pushed the two remaining baozi to Qiao Fatso, "What's there to talk about? She has hugged me before, do you believe it?"

Qiao Yuncai and Song Qingguan burst out laughing, "The leader is really the king of bullshitting."
