Chapter 93

After Guo Yuting came back, Liu Meng no longer had to sleep at the Zhou family's house and returned to school.

On Saturday, the campus was quieter than usual, with all the top students out playing. The internet cafes were full, and Liu Meng walked along the main road beside the main building, occasionally glancing at the small forest nearby, where he could vaguely see some scenery.

Unexpectedly, he really did see someone he knew. Yuan Chaohui was holding Bai Jingjing's hand, and the two were happily strolling in the small forest. Yuan Chaohui would tease Bai Jingjing from time to time, and the two flirted openly, like a celestial couple.

Liu Meng chuckled softly, feeling happy for them. Finally, these two were together, as if it were their destiny. Thinking of this, Liu Meng couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. If Yuan Chaohui and Bai Jingjing were still destined to be together, would he and Zhao Linlin also be destined to meet and fall in love?

When he reached the entrance of Dormitory 7, he saw Li Yue sitting on a small stool in front of the convenience store, just like a winter melon. Seeing Liu Meng, she hurried over and asked urgently, "Liu Meng, are you going back to the dorm? Can you check if Jiang Weixin is there? If he is, please tell him I'm waiting for him downstairs."

The girl looked furious, her face flushed red. Liu Meng thought, what did Jiang Weixin do this time to make her so angry?

Liu Meng nodded quickly in agreement.

Back in the dorm, the senior was lying on the bed reading a novel, and Jiang Weixin was sitting on the side reading a magazine.

Liu Meng asked, "Senior, why aren't you going out to do some activities? Why are you holed up in the dorm? Where's Dongdong?"

"Those two bastards, Cheng Cheng and Dongdong, went to study. Damn, they're all good students," the senior replied, his tone full of displeasure.

The last midterm exam had a significant impact on Dongdong, so he started studying hard.

Old Ma, of course, wasn't around either. He was either playing games in the computer lab or reading in the library.

Jiang Weixin grinned and said, "Senior is heartbroken, so he's drowning his sorrows in novels."

The senior angrily said, "Bullshit, I haven't even fallen in love, how can I be heartbroken?"

Jiang Weixin nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, you haven't fallen in love, you haven't fallen in love."

Liu Meng smiled and said, "I see Li Yue waiting for you downstairs. Are you just going to hide here? You can run away from a monk, but you can't run away from a temple. Go down early, don't keep the girl waiting."

Hearing Li Yue's name, Jiang Weixin's face changed immediately. He pulled back the curtain and saw Li Yue sitting on a stool in front of the convenience store, waiting like a rabbit for a rabbit.

"What did you do to make her wait for you like this?" the senior asked with a sidelong glance.

Jiang Weixin said with a pained expression, "It's the weekend, and she insisted on going to Central Street and watching a movie. I didn't want to go, so we had a big argument. I turned off my phone and unplugged the dorm phone line. I just wanted some personal space, to do something I'm interested in. Why is it so hard?"

The senior turned over and looked at him sideways, saying, "I say you deserve a good beating from Li Yue. Damn, couples should go out and have fun on weekends, not hide in the dorm. I'd like to go out, but no one will go with me."

Hearing the senior's tone, it seemed that things with Xiao Di were over. Liu Meng wanted to ask, but he was afraid of touching a sore spot and making the senior angry, so he let it go.

"Senior, from Monday to Friday, after getting up, eating breakfast, attending classes, and studying, we're always together. Every time I close my eyes, I see Li Yue's face. It's so visually tiring. If this continues, I'll be depressed," Jiang Weixin complained.

"Go, go, go, get lost. You're complaining to a starving ghost about eating too much mountain delicacies and seafood. Are you asking for a beating? I can't even have a moment of peace. Get out of here," the senior was really angry. Damn, this guy complains all day. Why didn't he just avoid her?

After Jiang Weixin rolled back to the neighboring dorm, the senior sat up and stared straight at Liu Meng, making him feel uneasy. "Senior, what are you thinking? Don't tell me you have another bad idea. I already said, no way, that last one was too unethical."

The senior nimbly jumped down from the top bunk, put his arm around Liu Meng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Although the last one didn't work, I was still moved. You see, Jiang Weixin keeps provoking me. Don't you want to help me get revenge?"

Liu Meng didn't like the sound of this and tried to back out, but the senior said, "Just listen to me first."

"Okay, go on."

"Look, even a wimp like Yuan Chaohui can get a girl like Bai Jingjing. Of course, Bai Jingjing isn't that pretty, so it might be easier to get her. I suddenly realized that it's too hard to pursue someone without a foundation. I was casting my net too wide before. Now I plan to focus and break through."

"Get to the point, Senior!"

Liu Meng knew the senior liked to theorize, so he had to urge him. Otherwise, he might talk for ten minutes without getting to the point.

"The point is, I plan to look for someone in our college. We have classes together, so there are more opportunities. We know each other well, and we have many mutual friends. There are more chances to go out together, and the chances of success are higher."

"But even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows. If this fails, everyone will know, and it will be embarrassing," Liu Meng had to remind the overly optimistic senior.

"Rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows because the grass is bad. If you're afraid of losing face, why pursue a girl at all? Look at Yuan Chaohui. Damn, Bai Jingjing even had a boyfriend, and he was from the same college and class. He openly poached her, and the ex-boyfriend even came to bless him, telling him to take good care of Bai Jingjing. Is there any justice in the world? Such an extreme thing can happen!"

Talking about the successful couples around him, the senior was very displeased.

After a pause, the senior continued, "So, one day while I was on the toilet, I realized a truth: to pursue a girl, you have to be shameless and persistent. The ancients have already summarized this wisdom for us."

The senior always had a lot of twisted logic and theories, which made Liu Meng think that he was right. He asked directly, "Senior, you've said so much, but what's your specific plan?"

"I plan to pursue Zheng Wen!" the senior said seriously.

"Senior, you're chasing around everywhere. Do you really like her?" Liu Meng almost spat out his water. This was like a rabbit eating the grass near its burrow.

"Of course, I like her. If I didn't, would I pursue her?" the senior said confidently.

"What about Xiao Di? Did you like her too? That's a bit too much, isn't it?"

"Men have broad hearts. When we see beautiful and nice girls, we like them. Liking and loving are different. Love is exclusive, but liking is inclusive. I can like many girls, but I will only love the one I pursue successfully," the senior started to lecture on the theory of liking and loving.

"Alright, go ahead and pursue her. I'll support you in spirit!" Liu Meng quickly broke free from the senior and prepared to climb into bed to rest and clear his mind.

After a busy period, Liu Meng usually did nothing, let his mind wander, and then recharged to focus better on the next task.

The senior grabbed Liu Meng and said with wide eyes, "Damn, did I just talk to you for nothing? Good brother, Senior needs your help!"

Here we go again. Liu Meng was determined not to agree and said seriously, "Senior, don't think of those twisted ideas. If you like her, pursue her properly. And since we're in the same class, it will be awkward. I really can't help you."

The senior laughed and said, "This time, it's a normal approach. Just listen to me first."

Liu Meng was still wary, ready to run if the senior said anything crazy.

"Since we're in the same class and are quite familiar, it would be awkward to ask her out directly. We can start by going out in a group of four, do some testing, and then plan further," the senior explained, smiling. "How about it? It's a conventional approach."

"Find Dongdong or Cheng Cheng. I'm really not good at this," Liu Meng really didn't want to get involved in the senior's pursuit of girls.

"No one else will do. It has to be you. Zheng Wen often asks about you, where you've been, and why you haven't been to math class. Hehe, do you know why she's so interested in you?" the senior smiled slyly.

Zheng Wen wouldn't say it that way, but the senior's translation made it sound different.

"Why?" Liu Meng was curious. He knew Zheng Wen had no interest in him. In their previous conversations, it was clear that she admired and liked Du Yi.

Thinking of Du Yi, Liu Meng felt a chill. The guy was handsome, talented, and from a prominent family, making him popular with girls. However, their conversation in the small forest last time left Liu Meng with a bad impression. Even the most humble gentleman can unconsciously feel superior when talking to someone of a lower status, which Liu Meng found repulsive.

In their math project, Liu Meng was currently ahead. Although the submitted paper had not yet received a response, he was confident it would be fine and could withstand scrutiny from experts in the field.

"I think it's Gu Pan who's interested in you. I've always felt that this girl has a thing for you. Recently, boys from other colleges have been coming to our math class to try to pursue her, but she's rejected them all. Even when there are empty seats nearby, she won't let others sit there. Only you have sat there," the senior analyzed with a sour tone.

He then sighed and said, "Damn, I can't compare to you. You're too talented. You even turned an English essay into a classic poem. If you wrote a love letter, it would be amazing."
