Chapter Fourteen: Falling Behind

  Zhang Huban sat on the edge of the bed, taking off his shoes and socks. Hearing everyone talk about the Scottish mother cow and the School of Economics and Trade being so excited, he asked curiously: "Hey, what's so exciting about English class?" In fact, Zhang Huban had another sentence that he didn't say out loud, I'm still worried to death, just last night I finally memorized all 26 letters and phonetic symbols!

  "Go!" Although it was now dark and Zhang Huban had sealed his own magical powers, he still felt the scornful gaze of everyone in the darkness.

  "Fourth elder! Coming to university isn't just about studying, there's another more important task which is chasing girls. If not, you'd have come to university for nothing! Look at Old Ninth, although he's a year younger than us, his awareness is so high and his passion is so strong! Let Old Ninth teach Fourth elder a lesson!" Hu Zhiming said with a tone of despising him for not being capable enough.

  "Ahem!" Chen Youmi cleared his throat and said with a pretentious tone, "Although you're older than me, Fourth Brother, when it comes to picking up girls, you can't even compare to me. Like on your first day of school, you went to the evening self-study session. In that situation, even if you had the intention to pick up girls, the only ones you could get would be dinosaurs. Tell me, which beautiful girl would go to self-study on her first day of school? Only those dinosaurs who think they're not good-looking enough and can only vent their passion in books!"

  Zhang Huban recalled, not to mention Lao Yao's words still made some sense. The three girls who came to self-study that night were all roughly at the dinosaur level. However, Zhang Huban thought carefully and realized that Lao Yao's analysis wasn't treating going to late-night self-study as a low-IQ way of flirting?

  Zhang Hupan was about to refute, and Zhang Zhipeng also spoke up with the tone of the second elder: "Look, although Lao Xiao is young, but look at how thorough his analysis is, how high his level is! It's simply a needle in the eye, a word that hits the nail on the head. Lao Xiao continues, give Lao Si a good lesson, so as not to lose face for us 203 in the future!"

  "Cough!" Chen Youping stabilized his emotions and continued: "Fourth Brother, have you seen a purebred Scottish cow?"

  "I've never seen it before!"

  "That's what I've always seen on TV!"

  "No!"

  "My god, you're really out of touch! Cindy is the most famous Scottish beauty in our school, those towering twin peaks can even compare with a Scottish cow! Her high buttocks, small waist, and long legs, my god that beautiful body if I had the chance to touch it that would be such a wonderful feeling..."

  As Chen Youmi's commentary went on, everyone's breathing couldn't help but become a bit urgent, and even the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard. And Zhang Huban listened to Chen Youping's narrative, in his mind, the figures of two beauties at the foot of Wudang Mountain appeared involuntarily!

  Chen Youmi was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued: "The School of Economics and Trade is quite different from our Applied Chemistry, they are studying liberal arts, at least half of the students in a class are girls, and I heard that this year's beauty ratio is very high, and even produced a campus flower-level beauty!"

  "What?" This time, except for Zhang Huban, everyone else let out a surprised voice. Generally speaking, new students have just arrived, and it's rare to produce campus belle-level beauties so early on. After all, getting to know each other also takes some time! So everyone was extremely shocked, only Zhang Huban, who didn't understand these things, showed no expression.

  "I heard that the beauty's name is Zhao Liya, the young lady of the Zhao Group! Wow, if I can win her over, not only can I have a beautiful woman to hold, but I can also become a rich young master immediately!" Chen Youmi said, lost in his fantasy.

  The bedroom suddenly fell into silence, with only the sound of rapid breathing audible. It was estimated that everyone had fallen into unrealistic fantasies, except for Zhang Huban, who had already submerged his consciousness into the Qiankun Ring and continued to study and flip through books.

  The next day, everyone in the dormitory got up early. If someone told Zhang Huban that men don't care about dressing up, Zhang Huban would probably use his thunderous skills to blast him into not recognizing his own parents. The only large mirror in the dormitory was being used in shifts, and the entire room was filled with the smell of hair gel and shoe polish. Everyone's shoes were polished so brightly that they could be used as mirrors, except for our poor Zhang Huban, who still wore those tattered clothes and shoes, and merely symbolically ran his hand through his hair, pretending to have combed it. Everyone in the dormitory shook their heads, saying that Zhang Huban was beyond salvation.

  When Zhang Huban and his friends walked into the classroom, they found that there were already many neatly dressed boys sitting in their seats, staring at the door with their eyes fixed on it. When they saw Zhang Huban and his friends, Zhang Huban clearly felt their disappointment. However, then Zhang Huban discovered a strange phenomenon - all the boys were occupying two seats each, while Hu Zhiming and others also tacitly separated to find a suitable seat. It wasn't until the first girl came in and found that no matter how she chose, there would always be a boy sitting next to her that Zhang Huban suddenly realized! It turned out that all the boys had left a seat next to them for the girls!

  When there were still five minutes before class, when all the boys were getting very anxious, the girls finally walked into the classroom in groups of three or five. What made Zhang Huban's eyes widen was that all the girls only stared blankly at the scene in front of them for a second, and then each chose a boy who looked pleasing to sit down with. Of course, our rustic Zhang Huban definitely wouldn't be considered by any girl, and someone as ugly as Hu Zhiming wouldn't have any customers either! Suddenly, Zhang Huban, who was intently studying the junior high school English textbook in his Qiankun ring, felt that the surroundings had quieted down. He curiously withdrew his consciousness from the Qiankun ring and took a look, only to be shocked: a beautiful girl was standing at the classroom door.

  Beautiful, really beautiful. Zhang Huban sincerely admired her in his heart. Her short hair was neat and black, with a suitable thickness of eyebrows under a pair of autumn water-like big eyes, long eyelashes, delicate small nose, and warm red lips, making people want to kiss her fragrance. A beauty, a first-class beauty. However, Zhang Huban didn't have the mood to stare at the beautiful girl at the door like other boys, because he found that the girl at the door was probably the thousand gold miss of the Zhao Group, who was also the beautiful girl he met under Wudang Mountain and had a fight with. Although Zhang Huban believed that his current appearance and the long time that had passed should make it impossible for the beauty to recognize him, he still felt guilty and lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
