Chapter 75

Liu Meng came out of the library and quickly walked towards Dormitory 7, thinking to himself, "You can't possibly sneak into a boys' dormitory, can you? That would be outrageous!"

Donggua followed closely behind. Seeing Liu Meng step into Dormitory 7, she immediately understood his scheme and shouted, "San Pang, if you go in there, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

Liu Meng stopped, turned around, and found it quite amusing. He asked curiously, "I'd like to see how you plan to be unfriendly to me!"

Donggua was in a hurry and blurted out a threat, but she couldn't think of anything specific to do to San Pang. She puffed up her cheeks and said, "I'll stand below your dormitory and shout that you're a heartbreaker who abandoned your girlfriend back home, and that you're a womanizer."

Liu Meng smiled. "I don't believe a girl like you would have the nerve to say such things. If you're not afraid of losing face, I don't really care." With that, he quickly entered Dormitory 7.

Donggua, who was easily embarrassed, was only trying to scare Liu Meng. She wouldn't dare to do such a thing. When Liu Meng entered Dormitory 7, she stomped her feet in anger and paced around the entrance, unwilling to leave.

Dormitory 7 had a semi-circular structure, with a small supermarket on the right side. Feeling very hungry, Donggua went to the supermarket, bought some food, and a small stool. She sat there, eating and keeping an eye on the students coming and going.

She thought to herself, "You fatso, I don't believe you can fly away or disappear into the ground!"

The boys entering and exiting Dormitory 7 today were in for a treat, as such a beautiful girl was a rare sight at Ice City Institute of Technology.

Lao Da and Dong Dong returned from playing table tennis and immediately noticed Donggua sitting there, staring intently at the entrance of Dormitory 7.

Dong Dong, a simple and sincere boy, stared at her for a while. Lao Da patted him and laughed, "Be more reserved, it's like you've never seen a beautiful girl before. Your drool is about to fall."

Dong Dong reluctantly turned away, smacking his lips and replied, "She's so beautiful and elegant, exactly my type."

Lao Da was also secretly looking, but as a sophisticated player, he wouldn't stare continuously or let others notice. He teased, "Don't be like Jiang Weixin, having one at home and one at school. A girl of this caliber, with such a cold demeanor, is extremely difficult to pursue."

Dong Dong looked at Lao Da with admiration, "No wonder you're the boss. You can assess the difficulty at a glance. But don't compare me to Jiang Weixin. I'm just admiring her, hehe."

"Understood. There are plenty of beautiful girls, but only the ones you can pursue are yours. Otherwise, just admire them from a distance," Lao Da said, his eyebrows twitching a few times as he stole several glances and swallowed hard. "Damn, she's really a feast for the eyes. Pursuing a girl like her would be exciting. Sigh, she's probably already been taken by some guy. Why is she staring at the entrance of Dormitory 7? It reminds me of Li Yue waiting for Jiang Weixin."

He sighed inwardly, "What the hell, beautiful girls are all blind, choosing heartbreakers! I'm so pure and devoted, yet no beautiful girl has noticed me!"

While Lao Da was lost in thought, Dong Dong asked slyly, "Hey, Boss, what's the deal with that girl from Jiangdu who speaks so sweetly?"

Lao Da straightened up and said seriously, "Well, I'm currently in a tough battle, a combination of frontal assault and flanking maneuvers. The frontal assault is tough, and the flanking maneuver was discovered. Now, I can only pretend to build a road while secretly advancing through a hidden path."

Dong Dong looked at him with admiration, thinking he understood Lao Da's meaning. It was so profound!

...

After Liu Meng slipped into the dormitory, he looked down from the third floor, watching Donggua's every move, frowning and stomping his feet. What a stubborn woman!

He was so hungry that he had to find an opportunity to get to the back of the stairs and jump out of the second-floor window, then rushed to the cafeteria.

...

Donggua waited for a long time and felt something was off. San Pang had been inside for a while; he should be hungry by now, yet he hadn't come out. She had a bad feeling. She noticed two boys walking by, one of whom was staring at her, while the other, though sly, kept glancing at her.

Feeling frustrated, she thought, "When did I need to rely on my appearance?" She called out, "Classmate, classmate!"

Lao Da and Dong Dong were discussing his battle theories and were quite excited. When the girl sitting there called them, they were both surprised and delighted. Lao Da walked over quickly, smiled charmingly, and said, "Classmate, do you need any help?"

He was polite and courteous!

Donggua wasn't fooled by his appearance. She knew his type from his earlier glances. But since she needed help, she kept her tone soft and polite, "Are you from Dormitory 7? Are there any other entrances besides this main door?"

"You've come to the right person. Dormitory 7 only has this main door, but that's the regular situation," Lao Da said with a confident air.

Donggua wanted to strangle him for speaking in riddles. But since she needed his help, she patiently asked, "What about the irregular situation?"

Lao Da was delighted to have piqued her interest. He continued, "Many boys often return late at night when the dormitory uncle has locked the door. What do they do? Smart engineering students have found a solution, which has been passed down from generation to generation."

Lao Da spoke with relish, while Donggua listened with growing frustration, maintaining a polite smile despite her stiffening face. She wasn't used to smiling.

Pausing for effect, Lao Da continued, "So, they created a life-saving passage from the second-floor window at the back. It's a passage that requires risking your life to use."

He smiled lecherously, but Donggua didn't catch the hidden, embarrassing meaning. Failing to tease the girl, Lao Da felt a bit disappointed.

Donggua's heart sank. She thought, "This San Pang must know about this life-saving passage and has probably already escaped. I've been waiting here for nothing."

Losing track of San Pang, she became extremely anxious.

She stood up to leave, but Lao Da, who was in the middle of his story, continued, "Classmate, are you waiting for some heartbreaker inside? There are too many heartbreakers these days. Yesterday, someone was waiting here too."

He was referring to Li Yue, who had another argument with Jiang Weixin. Jiang Weixin was hiding and didn't dare to come out, so Li Yue waited for him. Jiang Weixin eventually had to mix in with a crowd to get out, but he was still discovered and had a terrible time.

"Actually, there are many good men too. Sometimes, it's worth changing your perspective. If you meet a nice guy, give him a chance," Lao Da advised objectively, assuming Donggua was in the same situation as Li Yue.

Donggua had no patience for his nonsense. She stood up, huffed, and said angrily, "A bunch of rotten men, not a single good one!"

She stormed off.

Lao Da watched her go, feeling an urge to recite a poem but couldn't think of one. He said, "Sigh, even when angry, she's so graceful. What a pity that such a beauty is being wasted on some guy who deserves to be struck by lightning!"

Dong Dong was still savoring the girl's smile and didn't understand, "Boss, if she's already been taken, why are you still so interested?"

Lao Da tapped his head and said irritably, "A woman is like a house. One is a luxurious villa in the city center, already lived in; the other is a brand new house in a remote town, covered in sand and ignored. Which would you choose? Unless you're brain-dead, you'd choose the villa. The more charming a woman, the more sought-after she is, and the more people have 'lived' in her. What's there to be bothered about?"

Dong Dong rubbed his head, thinking it made sense. He found Lao Da even more profound.

Donggua hurriedly left the main entrance of Dormitory 7 and went to the back. Sure enough, there was a short rope hanging from the second-floor window, with a few bricks stacked below. This must be the life-saving passage.

She cursed, "What a sly fatso!"

Feeling frustrated, she had no idea where to look in such a large campus. San Pang was clearly avoiding her. He wouldn't go to the library, so where else could he be? Finding someone in such a large school was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Was the mission going to fail? She rubbed her aching forehead, thinking of what else she could do. Suddenly, she slapped her forehead and cursed herself, "How stupid of me! A monk can run, but not the temple. San Pang will definitely return to the Zhou family's place tonight. I can just wait there."

With that, Donggua didn't hesitate and headed straight for the Zhou family's place. The route from Ice City Institute of Technology to the Zhou family's place was simple. She just had to walk straight out of the campus and turn left to enter the neighborhood. She had memorized the route when she left earlier.

She waited at the entrance, just like the first day, feeling increasingly anxious. She checked her watch; it was about 5:30 PM. The elevator dinged, and Donggua perked up, ready for action.

As she reached the elevator, a little girl poked her head out, followed by a boy of about the same age. The little girl exclaimed, "Hey, Donggua sister, why are you waiting at the entrance again? Where's Uncle?"

Donggua recognized Zhou Shiyuan and was relieved. She wouldn't have to wait outside anymore. The udon noodles she made last night had clearly won the little girl's affection. An idea formed in her mind.
