Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 163 You're using Renren too!
The most beautiful seasons at Jiangnan University are spring and autumn. Although there are no cherry blossoms on the tree-lined avenues by East Lake at this time, it is still breathtakingly beautiful.

In his past life, Chen Cheng also enjoyed taking photos of girls, and his skills were considered near-professional.

He searched for the dappled light and shadow effects on the tree-lined avenue, and combined them with the lush greenery and rich colors to capture Lu Youyou in stunningly beautiful photos.

Of course, Lu Youyou herself is beautiful, and the slats are perfectly straight. As long as the composition is correct, she will look beautiful no matter how you take the picture.

Chen Cheng's semi-professional SLR camera is indeed very powerful. Nowadays, most people, even if they have a camera, are using cheap film point-and-shoot cameras that cost only a few hundred yuan. The pixel count and image quality of SLR cameras are far ahead of their time.

Moreover, Chen Cheng, who is very skilled at taking pictures of girls, specifically chose a 50mm prime lens when buying a camera. This lens is a powerful tool for portrait photography, producing outstanding results.

After taking the photos, Chen Cheng hurriedly led Lu Youyou to the printing shop.

On the way there, he told Lu Youyou about the printing shop. Lu Youyou was surprised and thought Chen Cheng was going to take her to the campus network's operations center. She didn't expect that he had opened a printing shop on campus.

After hearing Chen Cheng explain the purpose and function of establishing the printing shop, Lu Youyou admired him even more.

She was just a little worried about one thing, so she asked him, "Won't your senior who runs the forum hold a grudge against you for doing this?"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "It's certain that he holds a grudge, but he doesn't know that I'm the owner of Xiaonei.com. I don't plan to tell him either. Xiaonei.com hasn't been corporatized yet, so he can't find out who the owner is and thinks I'm just an employee."

Chen Cheng felt no remorse whatsoever towards Yang Siqi.

Forget about stealing users from the Galo forum; my next plan is to turn the Galo forum into a stagnant pool.

The two arrived at the printing shop, where their roommates were still busy. Su Hexiang had also become familiar with operating the scanner, so he joined in as a substitute. Whenever someone needed to eat or go to the bathroom, he would step in and keep everyone busy.

Chen Cheng brought Lu Youyou to the printing shop. As soon as they entered, several of his roommates, who were busy with their heads down, glanced over.

They caught a glimpse of Chen Cheng bringing a girl in, and assumed it was Yan Ruoxuan who had come with him again. But upon closer inspection, they realized that the girl was half a head taller than Yan Ruoxuan, and also a bit more mature. Her looks and demeanor were in no way inferior to Yan Ruoxuan's.

Su Hexiang's radar immediately went off. Although Yan Ruoxuan had become quite beautiful after returning from the National Day holiday, he still felt that she was too naive and immature, and not good enough for a man as precocious and cunning as Chen Cheng.

It seems that a mature and wealthy young lady like his aunt would be a better match for Chen Cheng.

Looking at them now, Lu Youyou and Chen Cheng are clearly a perfect match; their appearance, temperament, and height all give off a very harmonious feeling.

So the first thing he asked was, "Brother Chen, who is this beautiful woman next to you?"

The others also looked at Chen Cheng with curiosity, glancing at Lu Youyou out of the corner of their eyes, waiting for Chen Cheng's answer.

Chen Cheng then said, "Let me introduce you. This is my high school classmate, Lu Youyou, from Huazhong University of Science and Technology."

Wang Yifei exclaimed, "She's the girl who lent you money to build your website?"

Kong Desheng raised his hand and said with a grin, "Little Lu, when you called our dorm before, I was usually the one who answered first."

Lu Youyou looked at the five people and smiled generously, "Hello!"

The group quickly greeted Lu Youyou, and Kong Desheng asked solicitously, "Has Little Lu eaten yet?"

Lu Youyou smiled and shook her head, saying, "Not yet, I'm waiting for Chen Cheng to treat me to something delicious."

Kong Desheng, adopting the demeanor of a caring older brother, said to Chen Cheng, "Old Chen, it's already past midnight. Why aren't you taking Xiaolu out for lunch? Why did you bring her to the printing shop?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I'll register a Renren account for Xiaolu and upload a few photos I just took."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately perked up, and Kong Desheng rubbed his hands together, saying, "Once you've registered, we'll all follow Xiao Lu."

Then she looked at Lu Youyou and said with a smile, "Little Lu, remember to follow us later! We can visit each other's blogs sometimes!"

Although Lu Youyou hadn't used Renren (a Chinese social networking site) before and didn't know what mutual following meant, she didn't act like the aloof girl she used to be because these people were Chen Cheng's roommates. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll definitely follow you guys later!"

Seeing that there was still a long queue behind them, Chen Cheng said to the group, "Stop chatting and get down to business."

He then took out another two hundred yuan and handed it to Su Hexiang: "Hexiang, go buy some drinks for everyone and see if the supermarket has cases of Red Bull. If so, bring a case."

Su Hexiang waved his hand: "Brother Chen, how could I let you pay for a case of Red Bull?"

Chen Cheng shoved the money into his hand and said impatiently, "Hurry up and go. When did it become your turn to compete with me for the bill?"

Su Hexiang chuckled and left with the money.

Chen Cheng took out the camera's memory card, connected it to his laptop, and let Lu Youyou choose her favorite photos from dozens of pictures.

After seeing the finished product, Lu Youyou exclaimed in surprise, "Your photography skills are amazing! And how did you achieve that blurred background? It's so beautiful!"

Chen Cheng casually remarked, "The background blur is thanks to the camera lens; it looks good because you're beautiful."

Lu Youyou felt a warmth on her face after being praised by Chen Cheng. However, she quickly recovered and focused intently on selecting photos.

Chen Cheng let her choose ten photos. After she made her selection, she asked Chen Cheng, "Can I keep the rest of the photos? I'll come back to you to copy them when I buy a computer."

Chen Cheng readily agreed, saying, "No problem, I'll save them all to my computer."

After saying that, he opened the front end of the school's intranet and registered an intranet account for Lu Youyou.

After completing the information and uploading the pictures, Chen Cheng was helping Lu Youyou select photos from the album when the page kept popping up notifications that users were following her. In just a few seconds, more than a dozen people had followed her.

Lu Youyou hadn't even seen her following list yet, and asked in surprise, "How come I have followers right after registering? That's too fast!"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "The information mentions Fancheng No. 4 High School and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, so the system will immediately push you to the alumni of Fancheng No. 4 High School and Huazhong University of Science and Technology."

"So smart?"

Lu Youyou rarely even uses QQ. She always thought that online communication was one-to-one, just like QQ. She never expected that Renren would have such a user-friendly feature.

In fact, this kind of recommendation mechanism has been overused by Internet products in later generations, but in 2002, Chen Cheng can be considered the first person to develop an algorithm system, although this algorithm was still relatively basic.

Lu Youyou's phone suddenly rang. She said in surprise, "Oh, my brother is calling me. I'll answer it."

After saying that, he pressed the answer button, and Lu Jianyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yo yo, you're on Renren too! I just followed you, hurry up and follow me back."

Lu Youyou was surprised: "Brother, you play on Renren too?"

"I played it yesterday."

Lu Jianyuan laughed and said, "I was just searching for users on Renren.com when the system suddenly popped up a notification that a high school alumnus had joined. When I saw your name, my first instinct was that it was impossible. My sister loves studying so much, how could she have time to come online? Someone must be impersonating you. But when I clicked in and looked at your photo album, it really was you!"

"By the way, when were these photos taken? I've never seen them before. They're quite beautiful!"

Lu Youyou was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "My classmate helped me take the photo. My roommate keeps asking me to register an account and follow her, so I'm registering now."

Lu Jianyuan said, "Okay, don't forget to follow me. I'm hanging up now, I'm going to play a couple of games."

Lu Jianyuan was on Renren.com mainly to search for Ding Ning, but he searched several times a day without finding anything, which made him somewhat disappointed. However, he didn't expect that Ding Ning hadn't registered on Renren.com, but his younger sister had.

Lu Youyou was also surprised after hanging up the phone. She knew that Renren was quite popular, but she didn't expect that even her brother was using it.

Looking at the long queue outside the printing shop, it seems that Chen Cheng's campus network is already showing signs of success.

While she was amazed, she didn't forget to say to Chen Cheng, "My brother followed me, could you follow him back for me?"

Chen Cheng nodded, opened Lu Youyou's fan list, and sure enough, he saw Lu Jianyuan's name and profile picture.

The profile picture shows Lu Jianyuan sitting in front of a computer in an internet cafe, smoking a cigarette and looking like a tough guy. It seems the photo was taken with the computer's webcam.

At this moment, the system popped up a notification that someone had greeted Lu Youyou.

Upon opening it, I was surprised to find it was Ma Tao, the annoying guy from high school.

Ma Tao greeted me with: "Yo yo, it really is you! I'm Ma Tao, please follow me!"

Upon seeing Ma Tao, Lu Youyou's expression immediately turned somewhat repulsive, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why does he also use Renren (a Chinese social networking site)..."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "The campus network is all real-name registered. People who are secretly passionate like to come here to search for the people they like. He must be hoping to find you."

There's something Chen Cheng didn't say: if a scoundrel like Lu Jianyuan can use Renren (a Chinese social networking site), he's probably trying to find Ding Ning.

Lu Youyou asked Chen Cheng, "Will he be able to talk to me in the future?"

"Of course not."

Chen Cheng said, "There are several ways to receive messages from strangers on Renren. The default is that a stranger can only greet you once. If you don't reply to him, he can't send you any more messages. Only if you reply to him can he talk to you."

"In addition, you can set it so that strangers can chat with you directly, or you can set it so that you can reject all messages from strangers. If you choose the latter, then only people who follow you can send you messages."

Without hesitation, Lu Youyou said, "Then please set it to the last one for me! Oh, and please follow me, and don't forget to follow me back later."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "I haven't set up an account yet. I'll follow you after I've done so!"

As they were talking, Chen Cheng heard a familiar voice from behind: "Chen Cheng, have you eaten?"
