You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

After exchanging pleasantries, the two groups went to get their own food.

Jiang Che ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a bowl of rice, while Su Qinghe ordered a stir-fried pork set meal, plus a bowl of egg drop soup.

After carrying their trays back to their seats, the eight of them sat at a long table.

Jiang Che and Su Qinghe naturally sat together, while Xu Wenbin took the initiative to sit opposite Lin tide.

Song Mingxuan and Zhao Weilan sat diagonally opposite each other, while Lu Ziang and Shen Shiyu sat at opposite ends.

Xu Wenbin completely let loose at the dinner table.

"Where are you all from? I'm from northern Liaoning. It can easily drop to minus thirty degrees Celsius in winter there. My mom is terrified of the cold. Before coming to Beijing, she even asked me if I wanted to bring a cotton-padded coat."

Lin tide chewed on a piece of pork rib and replied, "Minus thirty degrees Celsius? I'm afraid I'll never be able to go there in my life. I'm from Fujian, and I'm a bit afraid of the cold."

"You're from southern Fujian? This place is great! The seafood is plentiful and delicious. Wow, you've really brought this place to life."

"Have you been there?"

"I've never been there, but I've seen videos of it."

"Oh, I thought you'd been there before, you're talking about it so enthusiastically."

Under Xu Wenbin's guidance, the group gradually opened up and started chatting enthusiastically, overcoming their initial reserve.

As they chatted, the topic naturally veered towards the circumstances of their meeting that day, namely Jiang Che and Su Qinghe.

Shen Shiyu wasn't one to gossip, but seeing the young couple so affectionate, she couldn't resist asking, "Qinghe, did you and Jiang Che get together in high school?"

Su Qinghe nodded. "Mm."

Shen Shiyu tilted her head slightly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Jiang Che and Su Qinghe.

"You were together in high school? Doesn't that mean you were childhood sweethearts?"

"Well……"

Su Qinghe thought about it and felt that the term "childhood sweethearts" didn't seem quite accurate when applied to her and Jiang Che.

After all, she entered Jiang Che's life during the darkest period of her life, and before that, their life trajectories did not intersect much.

But then I thought about it again, and it seems that every day since I met him has been filled to the brim with him.

Abundant care, abundant tenderness, and boundless favoritism.

So she smiled and nodded: "I guess so."

A hint of envy flashed in Shen Shiyu's eyes. "Everyone online says that it's easy to date once you get into college, but I always feel that it's actually harder to date once you get into college."

Su Qinghe looked at Shen Shiyu with some confusion.

Shen Shiyu explained, "Because the things you consider when dating in college aren't as simple as they are in high school."

"Maybe it's because I'm a more rational person. Anyway, if I'm in a relationship, I'll definitely consider things like the other person's family and future prospects."

Lin tide didn't quite agree with this view. "But we're still young. Shiyu, if you're going to have every relationship with marriage in mind, isn't that a bit too tiring?"

"If you ask me, it's better to have fun while you're young, date some handsome upperclassmen and underclassmen, and then consider settling down after you graduate and start working."

Shen Shiyu didn't speak, but just smiled faintly.

Lin tide didn't pay any attention. After pausing for a moment, she turned her gaze to Jiang Che on the other side.

She's always been outspoken and says whatever comes to mind.

"Jiang Che, I want to ask you something."

"you say."

"Are there any other handsome guys around you who are on par with you?" Lin tide asked seriously. "Someone with your looks, if not exactly the same, would be a 70/100."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenbin nearly dropped his chopsticks, looking at Lin tide with a hurt expression: "Lin Xi, there are four boys sitting at this table. Is it appropriate for you to talk like that?"

Lin tide glanced at him and said sincerely, "You're a good person."

Xu Wenbin: "..."

Song Mingxuan added insult to injury once again: "The fact that you gave me the 'friend card' so readily means you really don't have any feelings for me."

"Old Song, can you please shut your mouth today?!"

The group of people at the table burst into laughter at Xu Wenbin's expression.

Lunch drew to a close in a lively atmosphere.

Xu Wenbin eventually managed to add Lin tide on WeChat, mainly because everyone at the dinner table had exchanged WeChat contacts, and Lin tide naturally couldn't intentionally refuse to add Xu Wenbin.

Moreover, she had a pretty good impression of this man from Liaobei; he was also quite good-looking.

Unconsciously, this increased my favorability towards you.

After the meal, the eight people went their separate ways.

Xu Wenbin pulled Song Mingxuan back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep, Lu Ziang said he wanted to go to the library, and Shen Shiyu and Lin tide also went back to the girls' dormitory together.

Therefore, Jiang Che and Su Qinghe naturally had time alone together as a couple.

The two strolled leisurely along the tree-lined paths of the campus.

At 2 PM, the advisor sent out a notification.

The orientation sessions for new students will be held in staggered shifts, with one session every two hours and conducted in batches according to major.

Business Administration and Accounting were scheduled for the same session at 4 PM.

There are still two hours left.

After strolling around for a while, the two returned to their respective dormitories to rest.

When Jiang Che returned to 412, Xu Wenbin was lying on the bed scrolling through his phone, while Song Mingxuan was sitting at his desk flipping through the textbooks that had just been distributed.

Lu Ziang has disappeared and hasn't returned yet.

When Xu Wenbin saw Jiang Che come in, he rolled over and lay on the edge of the bed looking down: "Hey Lao Jiang, you're finally willing to break up with your little girlfriend?"

As he spoke, he scrambled off the bed and then approached Jiang Che with a grin, asking, "Old Jiang, I have a question for you."

Jiang Che nodded. "Ask away, I'll tell you everything I know."

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask you, your girlfriend's roommate Lin tide, do you think there's a chance between us?"

This question stumped Jiang Che. He walked to a chair and sat down, changing his shoes as he answered, "Well... I really can't say for sure."

"Oh, it's okay. You're the only one here with dating experience, so just go for it and speak your mind."

"Old Xu, I don't actually have much dating experience. My girlfriend pursued me."

"...You've been in relationships before, just name one."

Jiang Che was amused by his persistence and, after thinking for a moment, gave an honest assessment: "Lin tide has a rather straightforward personality. If you really want to pursue her, it's best not to beat around the bush and just say what you mean."

Xu Wenbin nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Does she have a boyfriend?"

"I really don't know, you'll have to ask him yourself."

"Alright."

Xu Wenbin climbed back onto the upper bunk and lay down, folding his hands behind his head and staring at the ceiling in silence for a long time.

Suddenly, she blurted out, "But even if I have a boyfriend, I'll still give it a try. What if I win the job through a competition?"

Jiang Che almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Old Xu, I have to remind you, brother, never try to steal someone else's girlfriend, it's really unethical."

"Hey, I'm just kidding. If I actually had it, I'd definitely give it up. I can't tarnish the reputation of us Liaobei men."
