Which way to go is the road?

Dating is a compulsory course in college. Handsome men and beautiful women express the beautiful melody of youth in the best years of their lives, whether it is romantic and tender, hysterical, or calm and sad. They may not necessarily finish the course by getting married, but they have gained the corresponding "credits" so that they have no regrets in college.

However, this required course always has its failures, such as Lao You, Tian Hai, Du Xinpeng, and even Dong Lu. Bai Xue's affections for someone else gave everyone a strong shock. In Du Xinpeng's words, "Xiang Fei, a high school student, can find such a beautiful and youthful girlfriend. What's wrong with us guys? We can't let the college entrance exam down!"

While some students fail their courses, others consume excessive resources to earn extra credits. Zhang Fang has already had two girlfriends so far, not counting his high school history! However, Zhang Fang is currently single. The sexy beauty Jiao Jiao is a thing of the past, otherwise she wouldn't be spending all her time in internet cafes with Lao You and the others! At this moment, he secretly resolved to find a girlfriend soon!

However, it wasn't these men who first planned and launched the operation.

"Dong Lu, aren't you going to take action? You're already a junior in college, if you don't hurry, you'll miss your chance!"

Bai Xue took away the book Dong Lu was reading, climbed up the ladder to the bed, shared a blanket with Dong Lu, and sat side by side with their backs against the white wall!

"How am I supposed to make a move?! You know I only have feelings for Zhang Fang. That idiot, even though he's single now, he's never treated me like a woman. He's like he's immune to all feelings!"

"I'm not trying to be mean, Dong Lu, you're quite pretty, but you tend to dress in cool colors, which makes you lack a bit of femininity!"

"I'm used to it. I was raised like a boy since I was little. I only developed this girlish quality after being with you guys. Otherwise, I might have really become a lesbian!"

"That's perfect! How about I kick Xiang Fei out and we can be a couple?"

"Fine, you said it! I don't care about that idiot Zhang Fang anymore, let's go buy matching outfits tomorrow!"

"Just kidding, I'd really miss our brilliant young man. He hasn't had enough romance yet!"

"Tch, they forget all humanity when it comes to the opposite sex!"

"Let's get back to business, be serious!" Bai Xue coughed lightly. "Since we've already got this girl's style, let's make the most of it. We'll go shopping for clothes tomorrow!"

"I've already bought my winter clothes, don't waste your money!"

"Money or love?"

"Money and love are so elusive; whether you can get them or not is uncertain!"

"You're really thrifty, but you need to dress up more than just money. How can you attract a rich husband if you don't dress up? Besides, your small business is doing quite well, and you've saved up a lot of money. Treat yourself to something!"

"Forget it. Zhang Fang comes from a cadre family; the gap between us is too big! It definitely won't work out!"

This is a real problem. How many boys and girls from impoverished backgrounds are intimidated by this gap and fail to make any progress on the road to love? Even when they are only one step away from the finish line, they still experience endless regrets.

"We haven't even talked about marriage yet, why think so much? That's a matter for the next step. We need to focus on doing this step well first! We can think about it more when we get there. No need to worry unnecessarily!"

When Bai Xue saw Dong Lu about to leave, she panicked and grabbed Dong Lu's hand, squeezing it tightly! Dong Lu thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. Even if love is fleeting, it is still worth having. For college relationships, the idea of ​​forever is mostly just a beautiful wish.

"Fine, I'll give it a try. I'm not taking it!"

"That's right! Besides clothes, there's one more thing I need to buy tomorrow!"

"What is it?"

Bai Xue didn't say anything, but gently touched Dong Lu's sensitive area with her hand. Dong Lu was not about to be taken advantage of, and after a moment of surprise, she retaliated by slapping him, causing a burst of playful laughter!

As the weather grew colder, people were reluctant to stay outdoors and hurried to their destinations. The ivy on the exterior wall of "Shuiyunjian" had lost all its leaves, and the vines were intertwined irregularly, clinging tightly to the wall, looking from a distance like a painting by an Impressionist master.

Qian Luomei had been alone in the attic for a long time and felt a bit lonely, so she went down the stairs to the front desk on the first floor.

Xiang Fei was on duty alone, engrossed in his game, and didn't see Qian Luomei come down. Only when she was right in front of him did he see a splash of red—Qian Luomei's scarf. Thinking she was a customer, he looked up, quickly stood up, and greeted her.

Since receiving the lesson, Xiang Fei felt even more respect and gratitude towards Qian Luomei, and his tone of voice became much more respectful than before.

Qian Luomei smiled and gestured for Xiang Fei to sit down: "Xiang Fei, where are Bai Xue and Dong Lu? It's the weekend, I haven't seen them!"

"Looks like you went shopping. Why are you still here? Go help out! Did you forget what I told you? When a woman goes shopping, she needs a man to carry her bag!" Qian Luomei said with a smile.

"I originally wanted to go, but Bai Xue said it was mostly women's products they were selling, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go!"

"Oh, I see! Let me check your game equipment. Hmm, when did you buy this divine weapon?"

"I bought it a few days ago. I'm a female demon, so the divine weapons I use are relatively cheap!"

"That must cost several hundred yuan, right?"

"Hmm, six hundred!"

Qian Luomei frowned slightly, clicking the mouse to look at the weapon's attributes, then left the computer and calmly said, "Xiang Fei, playing games is fine, but don't take it too seriously! You can throw any amount of money into this game, and you're not a tycoon! Take it easy!"

"Okay, I understand, Sister Luomei!"

At this moment, two beautiful women walked in from outside. The one in front was Bai Xue, carrying several bags that looked quite heavy. The one behind should be Dong Lu, but Xiang Fei and Qian Luomei didn't quite recognize her because of her attire.

Wearing high-top over-the-knee boots, thick nude stockings, and black shorts, paired with a short, dark green coat with a fur collar and a white inner layer, and her newly dyed dark flaxen hair, Dong Lu looked even more stylish and beautiful than before. Her fair skin and lovely features exuded a goddess-like aura!

Xiang Fei quickly ran over and took the bag from Bai Xue's hand. He glanced back at Dong Lu, who looked completely refreshed, and couldn't help but admire her.

"Bai Xue, you're amazing! Dong Lu looks like a goddess after you dressed her up like that!"

"Of course, who do you think I am? But Dong Lu was born with goddess potential, she was just hidden in the mundane world and no one knew her. I just used a little trick to discover this goddess!"

Dong Lu, who usually presents a tomboyish image, suddenly became shy: "Don't say that, is it really that outrageous? Goddess? More like a crazy woman!"

"Whether she's a goddess or a crazy woman, just look back and you'll see. See, it's working!"

Dong Lu turned around and found that many internet addicts who were logging on were not looking at their computers, but staring at her. Despite the shouts and curses from her unsuspecting teammates, they stopped moving when they followed her gaze! Among them were Zhang Fang, Lao You, Tian Hai, and Du Xinpeng. The other three were fine, but Zhang Fang, who was slightly nearsighted and didn't wear glasses, could only vaguely make out a stylish, beautiful, and slender woman, and didn't recognize Dong Lu at all!

Zhang Fang couldn't possibly let go of the girl who had captured his heart. He casually left the internet area and headed straight for the front desk. Dong Lu quickly turned around, only showing Zhang Fang her beautiful back.

"Hey, everyone's here? Xiang Fei, get me a Coke, my throat's so dry, I'm dying of thirst!"

After Zhang Fang paid, he turned around to take a look at the beautiful woman's face, but she turned to look at the revolving door instead.

"Bai Xue, you went shopping for clothes? Look at all those bags! You look good in anything!" Zhang Fang, trying to make conversation, added, "By the way, who's that beautiful lady next to me? I've never seen her before!"

"Never seen it before? Then take a closer look."

Bai Xue turned Dong Lu, who had turned to the side, around. She gently brushed her hair aside, revealing her moon-like face. Zhang Fang was so startled that he forgot to swallow the cola he was drinking. He choked, his breathing became uncoordinated, and he coughed repeatedly, looking quite disheveled!

"What, you don't recognize me anymore?" Dong Lu spoke clearly and confidently.

"How could that be? I've just never seen you dressed like this before, so I didn't recognize you at first!"

"Is it alright?" Dong Lu turned around gently.

"Great, great, great! You're a real eye-catcher, especially the hairstyle, it's really impressive. Look, the whole internet cafe is stunned by you!"

"Thank you for the compliment! Bai Xue, let's go back to the dorm! Take your things back, and come back later."

"Hey Xiang Fei, are you alright? Can you help me carry this bag? It's too heavy!" Bai Xue said coquettishly to her beloved.

"Sister Luomei, I..." Xiang Fei asked Qian Luomei for her opinion.

"Go ahead, it's alright! I'll just call Zhang Chu over in a bit!"

Xiang Fei carried the bag, Bai Xue linked arms with her lover and walked forward together, while Dong Lu greeted everyone and followed without looking back, leaving someone staring blankly at the departing figure.

"Hey Zhang Fang! If you have an idea, you should act quickly. There are plenty of wolves in my internet cafe alone." Qian Luomei always managed to figure out the secrets.

"But is it appropriate to do this again, given how I treated Dong Lu before?"

"If that's not suitable, then let's drink Coke! I guess we won't choke this time!"

After finishing her cold and sarcastic remarks, Qian Luomei went to the internet area to call Zhang Chu, only to find that the girl was doing a two-player quest with Lao You in the game, chatting happily! She smiled and shook her head, then returned to the front desk, suddenly feeling a bit lonely and pitying herself.

Bai Xue and Dong Lu were already laughing heartily over there, while Xiang Fei followed closely behind carrying a bag, and he could faintly hear a conversation between them.

"Even so, I don't think Zhang Fang might be able to let go, after all, in the past..."

"Don't worry, this is the first strategy, called 'luring the snake out of its hole.' There's a second strategy: 'attacking the mind to defend the righteous path.'"
