Chapter 96

"Hong! I miss you!" He Dong did not expect that the call was from Lin Xuan, whom he had spoken to just a few hours ago. As soon as the call connected, Lin Xuan's voice, tinged with a hint of sobbing, and the familiar words that He Dong knew so well, rang out.

"Xuan Xuan, what's wrong?" Hearing Lin Xuan's voice, He Dong's expression immediately turned anxious.

"I... I... It's nothing! It's just that my grandfather is sick, and I can't see you, so my mood is a bit off!" Lin Xuan explained to He Dong.

"I'll come to the capital to see you right away!" He Dong urgently proposed to go to the capital again.

"No! No! Don't come. The house is in chaos right now! I don't want you to see this!" Lin Xuan stopped He Dong's actions again.

"Then you must take care of yourself. If anything unpleasant happens, call me and vent your feelings!" He Dong gently advised.

The call lasted almost an hour. It wasn't until his phone suddenly died that He Dong realized his phone was out of battery. At the same time, he also realized that he was still in Chu Qian's "home" on the 22nd floor of Jin Cheng Building.

Although it had been over an hour, Chu Qian did not show any signs of impatience. Seeing He Dong return, she immediately smiled and said, "Finished your call? Was it your girlfriend?"

"Uh-huh!" He Dong nodded without hiding anything.

Although the conversation between the two still revolved around the topic of psychics, Chu Qian did not mention inviting He Dong to join the Chu family again. However, she often looked at He Dong with a resentful gaze, as if she were a wronged woman abandoned by He Dong. This made He Dong feel guilty every time he saw that look.

In fact, He Dong understood that this was a combination of the "catch and release" and "beauty trap" tactics. However, when used by a stunningly beautiful woman, the impact was absolutely terrifying. This made He Dong dare not stay any longer, and he found an excuse to slip away.

"Hmph, you won't escape from my palm!" Chu Qian said resentfully, watching He Dong leave.

On September 1st, the day Tianyang University opened, He Dong was busy because he was unexpectedly drafted to help with the new student orientation.

Actually, many senior students liked this kind of new student reception task. The most direct reason was that they could be the first to meet beautiful new female students. Many new female students were full of beautiful expectations for university life and had a bit of admiration for their senior brothers, which gave these senior brothers a certain advantage.

He Dong already had a girlfriend, so he was not very interested in this kind of reception activity. However, Hua Shao was particularly enthusiastic about such things. Whether it was to avoid loneliness or for other reasons, he insisted that He Dong accompany him, so He Dong ended up with this job.

"Freshman, the payment is at the school gymnasium. Go straight from here and then turn right!"

"Building 35? Go south from here, and you'll see a statue of a cowherd boy. The building directly in front of the statue is Building 35."

"Toilet? Parent, you're asking about the restroom? Go this way, and you'll see the sign along this road!"

"..."

Although He Dong was not very enthusiastic about this activity, he was very serious when he did it. There were several types of work for new student reception. Some sat behind the signs of their respective departments to collect fees, some guided new students to fill out various forms, and some directed new students to their destinations. He Dong chose the latter.

Hua Shao, unwilling to be idle, chose a more proactive role. Once he encountered a beautiful new female student, he would immediately approach her with enthusiasm, offering to guide her around the campus, help her pay the tuition, and even assist with her accommodation and meal card, all the way to her dormitory. Of course, getting the new female student's phone number was his ultimate goal.

"Haha, Third Brother, the quality of the new female students this year is really good!" After serving a new female student and getting a "good person card" and a phone number, Hua Shao came to He Dong's side and praised.

"Is that so?" He Dong's response was listless, but when new students, new female students, or parents approached to ask questions, He Dong immediately showed a different spirit.

"Of course! Look at that... the one in the black shorts. Damn, those legs are top-notch. If I could be between those beautiful legs, tsk tsk..." Hua Shao stared at a new female student's legs with a lustful gaze.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Look up, is that a new female student?" He Dong glanced at the new female student Hua Shao mentioned and almost vomited.

"Uh! Damn, these cross-dressers are really out of control!" Hua Shao quickly made a face as if he were about to vomit.

"I don't know if the world is evolving too fast or if our minds can't keep up with the changes." He Dong sighed again.

"Bad... bad! Third Brother, look, that cross-dresser is coming over! I can't handle it, Third Brother, you hold the fort, I'm out of here!" Hua Shao had the potential to be a deserter. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and disappeared without a trace.

"Deserter, traitor!" He Dong couldn't help but curse. In fact, he also wanted to run when he saw the cross-dresser coming, but since his reaction was not as quick as Hua Shao's, he could only force a smile and say to the approaching cross-dresser, "Stu... student, is there anything I can help you with?"

The cross-dresser did not answer He Dong's question or say what help was needed. Instead, they stood in front of He Dong, looking at him with a gaze that made He Dong feel repulsed. What made him even more uncomfortable was that the cross-dresser's gaze seemed to be filled with disdain.

"Are you He Dong?" After looking at He Dong for a while, the cross-dresser extended a delicate finger, took out a white handkerchief, and placed it under their nose as if they couldn't stand a certain smell. They then asked He Dong with a look of contempt.

"Who are you?" He Dong initially thought the person was mentally disturbed, but when he heard that they knew his name, his expression changed.

"You'll know who I am soon! I came today just to see what the next toy for our young master looks like, but it doesn't seem to be much!" The cross-dresser shook their head and turned to leave without another word.

"Toy? Someone actually considers me a toy? I'll show you who the toy is, Fear Intimidation!" He Dong was filled with indescribable anger but didn't know how to vent it. However, looking at the swaying figure of the cross-dresser, He Dong felt that if he let them go like this, he would be consumed by anger. So, he raised his hands, and an invisible black dot shot straight at the cross-dresser.
