This person really knows how to be reborn!

About ten minutes later, Zeng Cheng arrived at the girls' dormitory building of the School of Economics.

At this moment, Yu Baiwei was already standing at the dormitory entrance, eagerly waiting for him.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, her stunningly beautiful oval face was taut, revealing no subtle expressions, yet she was still the most beautiful sight downstairs in the girls' dormitory.

Many boys passing by—and even quite a few girls—were drawn to her, yet dared not look at her for long, as if glancing at this beautiful woman with an oval face would be a great desecration.

Zeng Cheng walked over quickly, and after chatting for a few words, he said to Yu Baiwei, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat first."

Yu Baiwei gave a soft "hmm," then transformed into someone's little tail, following closely behind him.

After walking for a while, Zeng Cheng realized something was wrong.

Yu Baiwei's lips were pouting so much they could almost hang a soy sauce bottle on them, and her little expression was full of grievance.

Zeng Cheng asked, puzzled, "Is there some problem you're facing?"

Yu Baiwei nodded: "Zeng Cheng, I feel like my roommates don't like me."

Zeng Cheng was somewhat surprised: "It can't be that bad, can it? It's the first time we've met. The chances of them ganging up on you are slim. Besides, why would they want to ostracize you for no reason?"

"Ugh—"

Yu Baiwei's expression grew increasingly aggrieved, yet she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Human cognition does not arise out of thin air.

She is indeed not good at interpersonal relationships.

Zeng Cheng suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing a possibility.

"Yu Baiwei, did your mother take you to the dormitory?"

"Um."

"How many people did you bring?"

"Not many, two bodyguards and three maids to help me carry my luggage."

Did your mom talk to your roommates?

"Well, I told them about my lifestyle, complained about the dorm environment, and said that they were going to buy me a villa off campus. Once it's bought, I'll move out, and they even said that my roommates can come over to visit... Zeng Cheng, I feel like my mom is very polite to my roommates."

Zeng Cheng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Ladies, are you afraid your daughter won't be isolated in the dormitory?

Chen Danqing may have been very polite to Yu Baiwei's roommates, but he also made them truly realize what class differences mean.

So Yu Baiwei wasn't being ostracized; rather, it was a self-protective mechanism formed by her three roommates after realizing the vast class gap between them.

Upon realizing this, Zeng Cheng smiled and said, "I think I know the reason. Don't worry, just come with me to dinner and I'll take care of it after we eat."

Yu Baiwei still looked worried: "Zeng Cheng, can you really handle this?"

"Please have some basic trust in your only good friend!"

"All right."

"Then why are you still keeping a straight face? Smile!"

"laugh--"

When Yu Baiwei smiled, her long eyelashes lifted, and the coldness in her eyes gradually turned into brightness, revealing two rows of neat pearly teeth.

Sweet things? Let's not talk about them.

"That's right, how could anyone not like such a sweet-smiling girl?"

"real?"

"Bai Suzhen is so real."

"Zeng Cheng, but I have a question. We're the same age, so why do you call me 'little girl'?"

"Well—although we're both eighteen by blood, I'm more mature, with a mental age approaching forty, while you're more immature, with a mental age of at most eight. So, I could be your father, what's wrong with calling you 'little girl'?"

Yu Baiwei's face turned pale instantly, accompanied by a forceful biting of her lip.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

"Zeng Cheng, I already have a father, I don't need another one. Besides, if you become my father, I won't have any good friends."

"..."

Zeng Cheng's cheek twitched.

I just made that up off the top of my head, why did she take it seriously?

But then again, so what if you have a father? There might come a time in the future when you'll want to call him that!

Soon the two arrived at the No. 2 canteen of Sichuan University.

After getting their food, Zeng Cheng led Yu Baiwei to a window seat.

Zeng Cheng had been busy all day and was starving. He sat down and started ravenously eating – that's just how he is when he eats.

Perhaps influenced by the food, Yu Baiwei ate quickly, her little mouth greasy, and she would occasionally pick up food from Zeng Cheng's plate.

Actually, they are all the same set meal.

But Yu Baiwei just felt that the food on Zeng Cheng's plate tasted better.

This scene must have been the envy of countless others.

The fact that she can attract so much attention even while eating a meal must be strongly related to Yu Baiwei's stunning good looks.

Zeng Cheng soon heard crickets chirping.

"Good heavens, I just came here for a meal, and I get fed dog food?"

"Which college is this girl a freshman in? I have to call my mom when I get back and tell her I met a goddess!"

"The guy next to her isn't very handsome either; these two are completely mismatched!"

"Damn it, a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng's vengeful nature was instantly aroused.

"Yu Baiwei, I'll give you a chance to please your best friend, feed me!"

"Um!"

Yu Baiwei was very obedient. She picked up a piece of Zeng Cheng's favorite braised pork rib from her plate and stuffed it into Zeng Cheng's mouth.

Zeng Cheng deliberately chewed loudly.

He even looked around with a smug expression.

Many people couldn't withstand it and their Dao hearts collapsed.

Even that small group with exceptionally firm Dao hearts couldn't withstand what happened next.

After feeding Zeng Cheng, Yu Baiwei, in full view of everyone, put the chopsticks, which were 100% covered in Zeng Cheng's saliva, into her rosy lips and gently sucked on them.

Half an hour later, the two good friends finished their meal.

The sun was setting, and dusk was falling.

The color of the western sky gradually changed from orange-red to dark blue.

After leaving the cafeteria, Yu Baiwei asked Zeng Cheng, "So, what should we do to get my roommates to accept me?"

Zeng Cheng chose a guiding approach: "Let me ask you this: if your dog, DouDou, is angry and doesn't want to talk to you, how would you coax it?"

Yu Baiwei quickly gave her answer: "Feed it delicious food!"

"That settles it then—" Zeng Cheng smiled, "We can also feed your roommates delicious food."

The three girls didn't really want to ostracize Yu Baiwei; they just realized the class gap was too large and developed a self-protective mechanism.

At this point, all Yu Baiwei needs to do is show her friendliness—feeding her roommates is the best way!

"It's that simple?"

Yu Baiwei's crescent-shaped eyes sparkled.

Then he demonstrated his legendary academic prowess, immediately starting to apply what he learned to other situations.

"Zeng Cheng, are you saying that coaxing someone and coaxing Dou Dou are essentially the same thing?"

Zeng Cheng snapped his fingers: "Bingo!"

This person clearly hasn't realized that he's digging his own grave.

The two then started walking towards the supermarket.

Yu Baiwei stopped walking after taking only a couple of steps.

She stood rooted to the spot, gazing intently at someone.

Zeng Cheng was very clever and quickly understood the reason.

"Should we hold hands?"

"Zeng Cheng, you've become smarter."

Yu Baiwei was instantly delighted and gracefully extended her hand.

Girls seem to be like this; once they unlock an intimate gesture, they become endlessly enthusiastic about it.

Zeng Cheng grabbed it immediately, and in an instant, their fingers were intertwined.

As for whether holding hands with his good friend violates the ancestral precept of men and women not touching each other, Zeng Cheng said it doesn't violate it at all!

To be honest, this has been the case since ancient times!

The Book of Songs says, "You are kind and good to me, let's walk hand in hand!"

Lu Daili's "Meeting Friends Scroll" shows close friends holding hands and chatting.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the Four Great Classical Novels, contains a detailed description of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's oath of brotherhood in the Peach Garden!

Even holding hands is nothing special; in ancient times, many good friends slept with their feet touching!

The sun had completely disappeared by then, the streetlights had just come on, and the crescent moon was just rising.

The cool moonlight mixed with the orange lamplight poured down on the beautiful Yu, giving her a hazy, dreamlike glow.

Admire a gentleman under the moon, admire a beauty under the lamp.

Zeng Cheng stared intently at Yu Baiwei's profile, not even blinking.

It's great, I love watching it!

Embarrassed, Yu Baiwei glared at Zeng Cheng, but he didn't hold back at all.

Yu Baiwei's pretty face visibly turned red, the blush spreading all the way to her glistening earlobes, resembling two dripping cherries in late spring.

Fortunately, they had already arrived at the supermarket, where there were many people and distractions, so the young lecher had no choice but to restrain himself for the time being.

I quickly bought the snacks.

After leaving the supermarket, Zeng Cheng gave Yu Baiwei detailed instructions: "When you're giving snacks to your roommates, if you don't know what to say, just smile. Trust me, there's a common appreciation for beauty among humans. Regardless of gender, no one in this world dislikes a sweet girl."

"Am I really a sweet girl?"

"Absolutely, even your breath is sweet, and your smile is even sweeter, like an orange-flavored lollipop."

"Zeng Cheng, I love the sweet words you say. I suggest you say them more often."

"Why are you mimicking me again—can't you use your own language?"

"Okay—Zeng Cheng, you're a good person."

"..."

Ten minutes later, Zeng Cheng escorted Yu Baiwei to the girls' dormitory of the School of Economics. After giving her some instructions that she might need later, Zeng Cheng said goodbye.

Yu Baiwei carried a large bag of snacks and quickly arrived at the dormitory entrance.

Before pushing open the door, she subconsciously suppressed all her micro-expressions and put on her exquisitely delicate oval face.

Fortunately, I remembered Zeng Cheng's advice in time - smile!

"laugh--"

Thinking of happy things, Yu Baiwei forced a smile.

Actually, it wasn't very natural. Without Zeng Cheng around, she found it difficult to smile from the heart, but her sweetness was still off the charts, giving her a pure, numerical beauty.

Zeng Cheng was absolutely right – who wouldn't like a sweet girl?

Upon seeing Yu Baiwei push open the door and enter, the three roommates couldn't help but feel amazed.

I never expected that the princess from a wealthy family, who seemed so aloof and otherworldly in the afternoon, would actually smile and be so approachable.

If light really had a name, it would definitely be called Yu Baiwei right now!

"Hi everyone... I bought some snacks... Would you like some?"

Following Zeng Cheng's instructions, Yu Baiwei carefully began to speak.

No one responded.

Although Yu Baiwei smiled sweetly, the pressure exerted on her three roommates by a certain powerful and wealthy woman in the afternoon was too great, as if the insurmountable class gap was always there.

"Hmm... what should I do?"

Yu Baiwei frowned.

She recalled the techniques Zeng Cheng had taught her—in fact, there was no essential difference between coaxing people and coaxing DouDou.

"I remember your name, Ye Qianqian. I saw you eating preserved plums this afternoon."

As Yu Baiwei spoke, she took out a bag of preserved plums and walked towards one of the girls.

Ye Qianqian was very surprised.

This seemingly wealthy princess, who appears to live in the clouds, actually remembers her own name?

She was very touched, and even felt as if she were being favored by the princess.

Just as she was hesitating whether to eat it or not, Yu Baiwei actually reached out and patted her head naturally, saying in a soft, gentle voice, "Qianqian, be good, it's delicious."

Ye Qianqian: "..."

She called me Qianqian, and she even patted my head!

Is this sweet girl with an incredibly approachable personality really the princess who seemed so aloof from the clouds this afternoon?

Such a contrast!

"Cough, Yu Baiwei, this is my favorite flavor, thank you."

Ye Qianqian finally mustered up her courage, picked a preserved plum from the bag, and popped it into her mouth.

With her taking the lead, the other two girls stopped being coy and gathered around Yu Baiwei, choosing their favorite snacks.

Once the first step of breaking the ice is achieved, the subsequent familiarity will naturally follow.

The four girls chatted while eating snacks.

Actually, it was mostly the other three people talking. Yu Baiwei is a deeply socially awkward person, and it's not something that can be changed in a short time.

Zeng Cheng had anticipated this situation and had already taught Yu Baiwei how to deal with it, so she would occasionally chime in with a word or two while her roommates were talking.

"Really? That's amazing!"

"And then, and then what? I really want to know what will happen next!"

"You guys are all so amazing."

If this were in 2025, these words would certainly not be very effective, and might even have the opposite effect, leading to accusations of being pretentious and pedantic.

However, in 2009, when the human version was still very low and even puns didn't have to be penalized, the effect was amazing.

Imagine an epic, beautiful, rich, and charming woman who excels in every aspect—looks, figure, and temperament—looking at you with adoration and ready to flatter you no matter what you say. Who could resist that?

Anyway, Ye Qianqian and the others couldn't withstand it at all.

The tense atmosphere in the dormitory that afternoon quickly became harmonious and relaxed.

Naturally, Yu Baiwei successfully integrated into this small group.

After washing up and lying in bed, Yu Baiwei couldn't help but start thinking—why was something she had absolutely no idea how to handle so simple for her only good friend?

She suddenly felt very lucky.

This guy must be a gift from the gods for her eighteenth birthday!

There was something she hadn't told Zeng Cheng.

The day they met was her eighteenth birthday.

When the clock struck midnight, she blew out the candles, clasped her hands together, and prayed to the gods in the underworld to grant her a good friend.

The next morning, while she was doing practice problems in the public study room, she had her first encounter with Zeng Cheng.
