  Chapter 34: Wake Them Up!

  TL: Etude

  As you ehe pedestrian street, there are first snack stalls, followed by restaurants, and then supermarkets, bathhouses, hair salons, and open-air barbecue stalls.

  At this moment, the girls from Css 3 of the Finance Department had just e out of the supermarket, carrying bags of daily ies. They were chatting and ughing as they walked back, attrag the attention of many male uy students with their lively chatter.

  “Qingqing, don’t you think the boys in our css are of poor quality?”

  “Yeah, not a single one is pleasant to look at.”

  Song Qingqing, the girl addressed, nodded nonittally. She was heavily made-up, with false eyeshes and dyed blue streaks in her hair, drawing attention wherever she went.

  “No, I think that Jiang Qin is quite good.”

  Pan Xiu, who was following behind, disagreed. She was of average beauty but had a gentle demeanor, which made her look somewhat cute.

  Song Qingqing slightly frowned, “Whie is Jiang Qin?”

  “The oting in the back row by the window. He’s about 1.8 meters tall and has a handsome face. Haven’t you noticed him?”

  “No, I haven’t.”

  “What about you, Jiang Tian? Did you see him?”

  “Yeah, I remember him. He’s indeed good-looking, but he’s too lowbrow.”

  Jiang Tian was a tall aiful girl with a slight baby voice. She remembered Jiang Qin and Cao Guangyu pretending to be rich with their phones a disdainful, always feeling superior.

  At this moment, Pan Xiu revealed a knowing smile: “Do you know? Jiang Qin pns to pursue Qingqing.”

  Jiang Tian’s eyes widened, “Really?”

  “Yes, his roommate Ren Ziqiang told me just now.”

  “Qingqing, you’re really charming. You’ve got an admirer already at the start of the school year?”

  Song Qingqing found it amusing, “Do I look that approachable? It’s funny how anyone dares to pursue me.”

  Jiang Tian recalled Jiang Qin’s appearance, “Actually, he’s not bad-looking. He passes in my book. Qingqing, won’t you sider it?”

  “Tiantian, you’re too naive. What’s the use of just being handsome without money? You know how high my expenses are. I don’t want a boyfriend from an ordinary family. He even envies a three-thousand yuan phone, how he buy me etics?”

  “That’s true. Jiang Qin definitely ’t afford you.”

  At that moment, Pan Xiu’s gaze suddenly shifted northwards, and she quickly pulled them along: “Look, that’s Jiang Qin!”

  Song Qingqing and Jiang Tian turo see Jiang Qin walking out of Nanshaaurant, and couldn’t help but be impressed: “He is quite handsome. Should we go talk to him?”

  “Why not? It doesn’t cost to chat.”

  Pan Xiu, a known gossip, immediately went up to Jiang Qin.

  At that time, Jiang Qin was in a bad mood and didn’t want to talk to anyone. But realizing they were cssmates, he restrained himself, not wanting to start off on the wrong foot with everyone.

  The girls from the Finance css were straightforward, asking him if he liked Song Qingqing, while she stood there with an air of superiority.

  Jiang Qin was ahinking to himself that he was here to make money, not get entangled with girls.

  “e on, someone pee on them!”

  “Jiang Qin, are you just shy?”

  “I’m not shy. Ren Ziqiang is talking nonsense. You’d better believe in ghosts than in him.”

  Hearing this, the girls ughed, thinking that boys are all the same, denying it when exposed.

  Just then, a stunning figure burst out of Nanshaaurant, pushing past them and grabbing Jiang Qin’s arm.

  Upon seeing her face, the girls from the Finance css were stuheir eyes widening.

  This girl was too beautiful, radiating a bright and lively aura, with a great figure and delicate features.

  Song Qingqing, known as the prettiest girl ihird Finance css, felt a bit inferior in her presend unsciously stepped back.

  “Jiang Qin, what are you dissatisfied with me about? Why are you ag like a stranger?”

  “Chu Siqi, I have no dissatisfa towards you. I just want us to part on good terms.”

  Chu Siqi’s eyes welled up with tears, “Then why have you suddenly stopped liking me?”

  Jiang Qin took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm, “Focus on your studies. I assure you that you’ll soon find someone you truly like. As for us, there’s no possibility.”

  “I don’t care, you must like me, and only me. You ’t leave without my permission!”

  “You’re really something else.”

  Jiang Qin, not wanting to say more, turo leave, but Chu Siqi wouldn’t let go, insisting he agree to tinue liking her.

  The girls from Css 3 were stunned, first by Chu Siqi’s beauty and then by her obsessive enta with Jiang Qin.

  Before they could recover, another equally dazzling girl came out of the restaurant, apologizing to Jiang Qin before pulling Chu Siqi aside.

  “Siqi, let’s go bad talk.”

  “Hong Yan, I thought you were a good friend. Why do you have to like Jiang Qin?” Chu Siqi looked at her resentfully.

  Hong Yan spoke with a sad expression, “I had no idea you knew each other.”

  Chu Siqi, trembling with anger, “I’m telling you, he’s not ied in you. He’s getting close to you just to upset me!”

  “Let’s not talk about this now. We’ll discuss it whe back, okay?”

  Suddenly, Wang Huiru also chased out. Knowing the situatioer than anyone, she quickly dragged Chu Siqi back to the restaurant, leaving only Hong Yan and Jiang Qin.

  The two stood fag each other in a somewhat temosphere.

  “I’m sorry, I didn’t know about you and Siqi,” Hong Yan began with an apology.

  Jiang Qin shook his head, “I have nothing to do with her. Don’t stress yourself over this.”

  Hong Yan’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really?”

  Jiang Qin, having lived for over forty years, realized some things ’t be expined just by words, “Today’s been chaotic. Let’s have dinner some other day, and I’ll expin.”

  “Okay, just the two of us ime?”

  “Deal.”

  Jiang Qin smiled slightly a, disappearing into the bustling crowd of the pedestrian street, while Hong Yan took a deep breath aered the restaurant after posing herself.

  On the road, the girls from the Finance css were left dazed, still not recovered from the se that seemed straight out of a dramatic showdown.

  “I think Jiang Qin really isn’t ied in Qingqing.”

  After a while, Pan Xiu’s sudden remark caught everyone off guard, waking them up.

  They exged looks, agreeing with Pan Xiu. Both girls vying for Jiang Qin were incredibly dazzling, far surpassing Song Qingqing. This wasn’t a drama where Jiang Qin would settle for less. How could he possibly like Song Qingqing?

  Song Qingqing’s face darkened, her shopping bags tearing in her grip.

  She had inteo pyfully tease Jiang Qin from a superior position, only to end up embarrassed, realizing she was the one unfit. The indifference from Jiang Qin as he left was especially hard for the proud Song Qingqing to accept.

  “When did I bee su insignifit character? I’m supposed to be the most beautiful in the Finance css!”

  But recalling the two girls eared earlier, she felt even her right to be angry was questionable, perhaps the most humiliating part of all.
