It's easy to get into university, but finding someone who can take you to the library is quite another matter.

For the person he needed to find, Feng Yiping set several criteria based on his experience.

First, it should be a girl. This is easy to understand; college guys like to be attentive, but only to girls. You, a young stranger, they definitely won't bother with. You might as well go somewhere cool.

Second, it shouldn't be a very pretty girl. The logic is related to the first point. Pretty girls in college are pampered by those attentive guys. They are the ones who cause trouble, not the other way around. Wake up!

Furthermore, there are always a lot of guys with stars in their eyes around these girls. Any male within three meters is seen as a threat. It's better not to cause trouble!

Third, it should be a more outgoing girl. This is easier to understand. A girl as cold as an iceberg—can you even speak in front of her?

Fourth, the girl should have good manners. Specifically, when she comes to buy something, even if it's out of habit, she will say "thank you" or "trouble you" or something like that. Or when you smile at her, she will smile back politely.

Following these three criteria set by Feng Yiping, he spent three days at the university and finally found an ideal candidate.

So, at noon, the slightly plump girl finally yawned and came to buy chestnuts. Feng Yiping handed her the bag with a full smile. The girl nodded and turned to leave, but Feng Yiping called out, "Sister, can I trouble you for something?"

"Oh, what?" She was a bit surprised.

Feng Yiping showed his most satisfactory smile, "Sister, can you take me to your cafeteria to get some food? The buns in the morning are all sold out, and we haven't had lunch yet."

Feng Zhenchang and the others thought Feng Yiping really wanted to eat, so they all smiled at the girl.

The female student was about to leave with the paper bag. Hearing Feng Yiping, she was taken aback. But rejecting someone is also a skill, and she clearly wasn't very good at it.

She had visited this tricycle stall a few times over the past few days, not enough to be familiar, but not a stranger either. Besides, it was just a matter of going to the cafeteria, so after a moment's hesitation, she agreed, "Okay, follow me. The cafeteria food isn't very good."

Feng Yiping followed her with a lunch box, "Hehe, that's because our levels are different. We just want to be full, but you naturally have higher standards."

"Hehe, little brother, you're quite the talker. What grade are you in?"

"Starting eighth grade this fall, and you, sister?"

Feng Yiping, who had been in the business world for many years, quickly learned some details about the girl. Her name was Li Jia, from a neighboring province, studying accounting, and starting her second year this fall. She had stayed home for half a month during the summer, helping her parents take care of her older brother and sister's two children. She couldn't stand the noise, so she returned to school early.

Although university is only one level higher than high school, it's really on a different scale.

To put it bluntly, if high school is like a small company with only one storefront that Feng Yiping later opened, then university is like a large, well-funded group company with its own building in a prime location. There's no comparison.

From the school gate to the cafeteria, they walked a long way, passing lawns, rock gardens, and a small lake. The environment was really nice.

The key point isn't these things, but the key point is the couples by the lake. In the scorching summer, listening to their cheerful laughter, it seemed the heat wasn't so bad. The heat didn't matter; it just made you yearn for something. What is youth? This is youth!

"Hehehe, little brother, you're staring!" Li Jia waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Feng Yiping blushed, "No, it's just cool by the lake."

There weren't many students staying on campus during the summer, so only the small cafeteria was open. Li Jia took Feng Yiping to the window, peeling chestnuts while he got his food. He got spareribs, braised pork, meatballs, and even a tofu dish. She thought this kid must be putting on a show, pretending to be rich in front of her!

Feng Yiping didn't think that way. Who would choose expensive food when the cafeteria's dishes are so cheap? The meat dishes cost less than one yuan, cheaper than the small cafeteria at Liangjiahe High School.

It was 1993, and with the Southern Tour speech, although consumption growth was stable, investment increased dramatically, leading to a record 20% inflation. You couldn't get spareribs and meat for just a few yuan outside.

So, university students were still fortunate at this time. Although not as good as before 1988, they were better off than after 1995. Before 1988, higher education was free. Starting in 1989, it was symbolic, like Li Jia, who would pay only about 300 yuan for her second year. From 1996, university admissions were standardized, and tuition fees skyrocketed. What cost a few hundred yuan in 1995 would cost over 2,000 yuan in 1996, nearly three times as much!

Moreover, although there were symbolic fees, various hidden subsidies continued, such as the cafeteria's cheap food. Without subsidies, how could it be so affordable?

This meal, including rice, cost only about three yuan. He was glad he brought two lunch boxes, or it wouldn't have fit.

Seeing that he had his food, Li Jia said, "Do you know how to get out? I'm going back to the dorm!"

"Wait, sister, can you sit with me? It's awkward eating alone."

"Aren't you going to take it back to your parents?"

"No, I'll eat first and then get them some."

Li Jia actually wanted to ask if he was sure his parents wouldn't hit him for spending so much money.

But seeing the expectation in Feng Yiping's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse. After all, she brought him in, and there was nothing to do back in the dorm. She decided to sit down.

She led Feng Yiping to an empty table and sat down. Feng Yiping picked up a spoon and was about to start eating when he asked, "Aren't you eating lunch?"

"I had your soy milk and big buns in the morning, so I'm not hungry. A few chestnuts will do."

Oh, so she was trying to lose weight! Did girls start worrying about their weight from this time? Most people hadn't been overweight for long!

If that's the case, he should get to the point sooner. Keeping a girl who wants to lose weight in a cafeteria where everyone is eating heartily is a sweet torture. The longer she stays, the less sweet it becomes.

He should say it sooner, but how? Feng Yiping thought while eating.
