They became stronger through blind dates, and all their wishes came true.

Back in the dorm, before I even opened the door, a strong smell of stinky feet hit me.

Zhou Kang thought it was someone who hadn't washed their feet, but when he entered the room, he found that the other two people were not in the dormitory.

Only Wang Haoyu was engrossed in finishing a bucket of pickled cabbage and beef noodles.

"Damn it! Fatty, can't you try something different?" Zhou Kang said, covering his nose.

"Kang is back, on a blind date... Holy crap! Kang, what are you wearing..." Wang Haoyu stared wide-eyed, looking Zhou Kang up and down.

"An Armani suit? An Omega watch? That's not cheap, Kang. You've struck it rich?"

Zhou Kang calmly took off his suit jacket and hung it up: "The clothes are rented, and the watch is a fake. Where would your dad get the money to buy this kind of thing?"

"Rented?" Wang Haoyu frowned and thought for a moment. "Yeah, we're all damn poor students, where would we get the money?"

"Does that Ms. Liu have a chance?"

"No chance." Zhou Kang answered without hesitation, "She's thirteen years older than me and has been married before."

"puff--"

Wang Haoyu nearly spat out his instant noodle soup. He stared wide-eyed at Zhou Kang: "What did you say? Thirteen years older than you? And already married?"

"Yes." Zhou Kang nodded as he put the toiletries into the basin.

"Holy crap! Did you dig up your aunt's ancestral grave? Is she out of her mind to introduce you to someone like this?" Wang Haoyu couldn't help but swear.

Zhou Kang helplessly spread his hands.

"So, my mom scolded her and then made her introduce a second one."

"And the second one? It can't be another old lady, can it?" Wang Haoyu continued to ask.

"The second one is alright. He's the same age as me, and he's not bad looking. He studies photography, but I'm not really interested in dating him."

"Alright, I'm going to take a shower now!" Zhou Kang picked up the washbasin.

Just as he reached the bathroom door, Wang Haoyu suddenly remembered something and called out to Zhou Kang, "By the way, Brother Kang, someone came looking for you today, saying there's something going on with the student council tomorrow."

"It seems to be about coordinating the venue or something, but I don't really understand the specifics." Wang Haoyu scratched his head. "They said you need to come to the auditorium at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to see Chairman Lin."

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Kang turned and went into the bathroom.

Although she holds the title of vice president of the student union, Lin Yutong, the president of the student union, basically handles all the affairs of the student union by herself.

There was no way around it; Lin Yutong's personal abilities were simply too strong.

He can accomplish almost anything independently.

Sometimes Zhou Kang felt like a mascot.

Why did they suddenly contact me?

Forget it, I don't want to.

Going on blind dates all the time is just too tiring.

After taking a shower, Zhou Kang picked up his phone and found several messages.

Chloe: [Kang, are you at the dorm yet?]

Chloe: [I had so much fun spending time with you today!]

Chloe: [Are you free tomorrow? Let's go out! I know a really beautiful place, perfect for taking pictures!]

Zhou Kang thought for a moment and replied: [I have class tomorrow, and the student council has an event, so I might not have time.]

I received a reply almost as soon as I sent it.

Chloe: [Oh, I see... Okay then, Kang-ge, you're busy~]

Just as Zhou Kang was about to put down his phone, another message came from the other end.

Chloe: [Kang, I think we're a good match. When...are we going to meet your parents?]

Zhou Kang's lips twitched.

They've only known each other for a day, and he already wants to meet her parents?

Dream on!

He typed back: "My parents don't live in this city, and they're both quite busy with work. Let's do it another day."

This time, the other person kept typing for a long time before finally replying with: 【Okay.】

Clearly, her repeated rejections made her very anxious.

Zhou Kang looked at the other messages and found that Lin Yutong had sent him a lot of messages today.

Lin Yutong: [Zhou Kang, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, in the auditorium, don't forget.]

Lin Yutong: [I need your cooperation on something important.]

Lin Yutong: [Remember to reply when you see this message.]

Zhou Kang glanced at the time; it was almost midnight.

I thought to myself, forget it, I'll just go early tomorrow and hear what they have to say in person.

Just as I was about to put my phone down, it suddenly vibrated again.

It was another message from Jiang Yirou.

This time it's a photo and a message.

Zhou Kang clicked on the photo.

In the photo, Jiang Yirou is wearing a sheer slip dress that barely covers her body, revealing her curves in a very alluring pose.

The text below reads: [Artistic photos only for Kang Ge.]

Well, putting everything else aside, Jiang Yirou has a pretty good figure.

Looking at the photo, Zhou Kang thought for a few minutes and then replied: "The lighting is too dim."

Then close your eyes and go to sleep.

……

The next morning at seven o'clock, Zhou Kang sat at a steamed bun shop outside the school.

I had just taken a bite of the steamed bun when my phone rang.

Caller ID: Mom.

Zhou Kang pressed the answer button: "Mom, what's up so early?"

"Early? The sun's already high in the sky!" Li Xiufang's booming voice came through the receiver.

"How's that girl surnamed Jiang from yesterday? You didn't call me last night, and I didn't sleep well at all."

Zhou Kang stirred the porridge and said, "It's alright, you look much better in person than in the photos."

"So there's hope? I knew this one looked more promising!" Li Xiufang's voice was filled with surprise.

"But..." Zhou Kang took a sip of porridge and continued, "Her requirements are a bit high."

"It's normal for her to be a bit high-class. She's a good catch. It's no problem for her to want a house and a car. Although we can't afford the full amount right now, we can manage a down payment..." Li Xiufang had already started calculating her family's assets.

"It's not about houses or cars," Zhou Kang interrupted his mother. "She wants to pursue art."

"Doing art?" Li Xiufang was taken aback. "Doing art is good; it cultivates one's character."

"She said she wanted to engage in artistic creation and needed an art fund of 300,000 yuan per month."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a full five or six seconds, Li Xiufang finally spoke incredulously, "How much? Three hundred thousand? And every month?!"

"Why doesn't she just rob a bank? Three hundred thousand a month, that's three million six hundred thousand a year! Does she think we own a money printing factory?"

"I'm so angry! What is your aunt up to?" Li Xiufang grew angrier the more she thought about it. "First, she introduced you to a woman thirteen years older than you, and now she's showing up with another one asking for 300,000 yuan a month!"

"Mom, don't be angry..."

"I'm not angry! I just can't swallow this!" Li Xiufang said angrily.

"Alright then, your stepmother will arrange your marriage! I refuse to believe my son can't find a normal girl!"

"Mom, actually I want to..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Zhou Kang wanted to say that he had found it himself, but his mother had already hung up the phone.

My mom's decisive and efficient nature hasn't changed over the years.

Looking at the blacked-out screen, Zhou Kang shook his head helplessly.

Just as I was about to order another steamer of xiaolongbao, my phone suddenly vibrated.

It's news from Jiang Yirou.

Chloe: [Good morning, Kang Ge~ (sun.jpg)]

Chloe: [Kang said the lighting was too dim yesterday, so I took a few more pictures today~]

Chloe: [Image]

Chloe: [Image]

Chloe: [Is the lighting bright enough this time?]

These photos are definitely eye-catching; Jiang Yirou is dressed more scantily and her poses are more daring.

Especially the second one, the one where she's wearing a white shirt.

With only three buttons fastened, the two proud peaks were faintly visible beneath the fabric.

I have to say, this girl really knows how to take pictures.

She knew what men wanted to see.

Zhou Kang thought for a moment and felt that he needed to create a sense of ambiguity for her.

That way, she will always feel hopeful.

As she gradually demonstrates her strength, her asking price will increase step by step.

So he casually replied, "It's good. It would be even better if you buttoned up two more buttons on this shirt; it's chilly in the morning, don't catch a cold."

Then I ordered another steamer of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
