Chapter 39

"Someone is chasing Li Youcheng," Ai Feng told Bian Xuedao.

When Nan Jiao told Ai Feng, she didn't mean for him to tell Bian Xuedao, but Ai Feng thought otherwise.

Although he didn't particularly like that Bian Xuedao didn't drink, ever since the last meal when Bian Xuedao was the first to deflate Zuo Xing's arrogance, Ai Feng felt it was quite good to have someone in the dorm who didn't drink. Thus, the dorm leader Ai Feng began to care about the fourth member's love life.

The brothers of 717 all knew that Li Youcheng had a crush on Bian Xuedao, and they had all seen the talented Dong Xue, but they felt that neither of them was Bian Xuedao's true girlfriend.

It was rare for both Bian Xuedao and Yu Jin to be in the dorm, so the eight of them marched grandly to the cafeteria. On the way, Ai Feng was the first to ask Bian Xuedao, "Old Four, tell us what kind of girl you're looking for, so we can help you find one."

Yu Jin immediately chimed in, "Right, give us a standard. If you're not picky, Zhou Ling has a fellow townsman who is quite nice, understands romance, and is skilled. Brother Bian, just spend a little, and the girl will worship you wholeheartedly. How about it, shall I set it up for you tonight?"

Kong Weize's eyes lit up when he heard Yu Jin, "Really? What kind of fellow townsman? Tell us more. In case Brother Four likes men, if he doesn't want her, I'll take her!"

Kong Weize's eyes drifted to Li Yu, who always lingered at Bian Xuedao's place. Li Yu kicked Kong Weize, who then ran away noisily.

Bian Xuedao knew he couldn't stay silent today. He pointed to a girl ahead carrying a water pot and said, "See that? The one carrying the water pot, her legs don't straighten when she walks, and her upper body leans forward. I don't like girls who walk like that."

He then pointed to a girl on the left, "See that one? The one in blue, she walks like she's been weightlifting. I definitely won't touch girls like that."

"Over there, the one with the hair clip, her legs don't close, you could fit a cat between them. Not attractive."

"Over there, the one who sways her hips when she walks, and the one next to her who holds her arms stiffly. Not attractive."

"Over there, the one who walks with her head down, and her steps are uneven. Not attractive."

"Over there, the one who walks with her thighs tightly together and her calves swinging to the sides, and the one who walks with her feet turned outward. A girl walking like that, can she be attractive?"

"Over there..."

Bian Xuedao suddenly stopped talking.

He stared straight at a few girls in military training uniforms coming down from the second floor of the cafeteria. The usually calm and composed Bian Xuedao now had an incredibly vivid expression, a mix of disbelief and wild joy, as if he wanted to rush over but was restraining himself. When the two groups passed each other, Bian Xuedao kicked the stairs, and Chen Jian had to hold him back to prevent him from falling down the stairs.

When 717 stood on the stairs and looked back at the girls, the girls were also looking back at them. Clearly, Bian Xuedao's behavior had seemed strange to the girls, making them wonder if this was what people called "flower obsession."

Watching the girls walk around the corner, Bian Xuedao jumped up and, without a word, rushed down the stairs and followed them.

The boys of 717 stood with their mouths open, looking at each other, all thinking the same thing: "He just asked us what kind of girl he likes, and then this happens. Is Brother Bian playing a prank on us? This guy should go to the Beijing Film Academy!"

Watching the green-clad girls enter the 11A dormitory, Bian Xuedao's mind went blank, with only one voice echoing repeatedly: "I saw Shangxiu, I saw Shangxiu! Shangxiu is here, Shangxiu is here! My Shangxiu is finally here!"

Bian Xuedao looked around, wanting to find a quiet place to shout, but he couldn't find one.

Dan RAO, who was coming out of 11B to have dinner, saw Bian Xuedao standing not far away, pacing back and forth, looking lost. She walked up to him and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?"

Seeing Dan RAO, Bian Xuedao immediately asked, "Do you live in 11A? Do you know which department's girls are staying in 11A this year?"

Dan RAO was puzzled by the question, "I live in 11B. 11A has recently allocated two floors to the new students, but I don't know which department. I can help you ask."

"Great, thank you, thank you very much." Bian Xuedao said, looking at 11A.

Dan RAO had interacted with Bian Xuedao before and was deeply impressed by the organized and capable boy who could lead 30 classmates in business and attract girls to climb into his bed at night. She never expected the steady Bian Xuedao to lose his composure like this: "Give me your phone number, I'll ask someone and let you know tonight."

Bian Xuedao lingered at the entrance of 11A, hoping to see Xu Shangxiu again, until Li Yu called to ask where he was, and Bian Xuedao finally came to his senses.

In the afternoon, Bian Xuedao skipped class.

He wandered like a ghost around the new students' military training field, completely ignoring the male formations and focusing on the female formations.

The girls were so intimidated by his gaze that they dared not lift their heads, dared not stand up straight, and their walking postures became awkward. The male students, using their peripheral vision, wondered what year this guy was, but admired his courage and urgency. The new girls had just arrived, and he was already rushing to the training field. They should learn from him!

Some girls, distracted by looking at him, stumbled, stepped on their shoes, and turned the wrong way, causing chaos.

The drill instructors couldn't take it anymore and ran over to ask what Bian Xuedao was doing, telling him not to disrupt the training area.

Bian Xuedao had already found Xu Shangxiu on the training field, confirming that he wasn't hallucinating. He happily returned to the Red Building, standing on the upper floor to locate Xu Shangxiu's formation. Although he couldn't see her from the distance, he knew she was there, and he was incredibly happy.

After watching for a long time, Bian Xuedao lay on his bed, starting to think about how to create an opportunity to meet Xu Shangxiu, what to say during their first meeting, and how to have a passionate and romantic relationship with her.

Who should he ask for advice on how to pursue a girl?

Li Yu? No, he struggled to pursue Li Xun and still hasn't gotten a clear answer.

Yu Jin? Even worse, he just uses money to win over naive girls.

Chen Jian? This is the best option. Chen Jian could defeat countless rivals, both open and hidden, and quickly win over the goddess-like Su Yi. Although he has good conditions, there must be some skill involved.

Especially since Xu Shangxiu's personality is similar to Su Yi's—outwardly warm and inwardly cold, the kind of woman who is easy to approach but hard to win over.

Bian Xuedao remembered that during a post-marriage intimate conversation, he had deeply analyzed his romantic journey to Xu Shangxiu, and she reciprocated by telling him about a boyfriend she had in her sophomore year, with whom she broke up due to personality differences. At the time, Bian Xuedao had asked for the boy's name, but Xu Shangxiu refused to tell him.

Bian Xuedao believed that although he hadn't seen Xu Shangxiu during his four years of college, with her conditions, there must have been many boys pursuing her. Now, hah, Brother Bian is here, and Brother Bian is about to take action. Brother Bian's wallet is still full, and the little ones have no chance!

Bian Xuedao returned to the dorm to find Chen Jian, but Chen Jian wasn't there. He called and learned that Chen Jian was studying with Su Yi at the library.

Bian Xuedao asked for their general location, rushed to the library, and, without caring that Su Yi was there, directly asked Chen Jian what the fastest way to pursue a girl was.

Hearing Bian Xuedao's words, Chen Jian broke out in a sweat, and Su Yi's eyes were full of amusement. Chen Jian thought, "What do you mean, Brother Bian? Am I a love expert? Even if I am, you can't say it in front of Su Yi."

After a moment of thought, Chen Jian cautiously suggested, "How about organizing another dorm exchange?"

Bian Xuedao knew he had come in vain. With Su Yi present, Chen Jian wouldn't dare teach him any of his tricks.

"I'll find you in the dorm tonight." Leaving the message, Bian Xuedao hurriedly ran off.

Su Yi asked Chen Jian, "Is what Bian Xuedao said true?"

Chen Jian replied, "I don't know. No one in our dorm can figure him out. You've met that future flight attendant, with her conditions, she was still deeply in love with him, but he didn't go for it."

Su Yi said, "Maybe he already has someone in mind?"

Leaving the library, Bian Xuedao didn't know where to go.

Xu Shangxiu's appearance had disrupted his life routine of the past year. He wanted to go back to the training field to watch Xu Shangxiu train, but he also wanted to wait at the entrance of 11A for her to return. After much thought, Bian Xuedao went to the area between 10A and 11A, sat on the steps behind 10A, and watched the entrance of 11A, waiting for Xu Shangxiu to return so he could talk to her.

No matter what he said, Bian Xuedao just wanted to hear Xu Shangxiu's voice. If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

More than an hour later, girls in military training uniforms started returning, and some boys carrying fruit entered 11A. Bian Xuedao quickly stood up, but his leg had gone numb from sitting for too long, and he almost fell.

Biting his teeth to endure the pain, he took a few steps toward the entrance of 11A.

In the distance, a few green figures were walking...

He saw Xu Shangxiu.
