By the end of September, when Su Lexuan's military training concluded, the weather was still incredibly hot.
Even the occasional breeze carried a scorching heat.
Except for the hardworking construction workers braving the blazing sun, few students were seen strolling around the campus during the day.
It was only at night or when the weather cooled a bit that the freshmen ventured out, curious to explore their new university.
If they were lucky, they might even spot a few couples in the small grove by the artificial lake.
On a sweltering afternoon in the girls' dormitory, Su Lexuan's roommates were getting ready to meet the campus beauty's boyfriend, whom she had hidden for almost a month.
Su Lexuan's roommates were quite attractive and well-built.
Especially Ye Xinxin, whose beauty and figure rivaled Su Lexuan's.
However, Ye Xinxin was more of a homebody and didn't appear much in front of other students, unintentionally becoming a backdrop to highlight Su Lexuan's charm.
Even when someone did see Ye Xinxin and approached her for her contact information, she would smile and say she had a boyfriend.
For Ye Xinxin, a veteran of many relationships, boys were just a way to pass the time.
Her criteria for a partner were very unconventional and peculiar, and she had only confided them to her best friend, Su Lexuan. Ordinary boys couldn't meet her standards.
Su Lexuan often teased her best friend, saying her criteria were too bizarre.
Today was the first day after the long, arduous military training and the start of a seven-day holiday.
Zhuhai University, located in the pricey Jianghai City, had a decent reputation, considered an above-average institution that had produced a few notable alumni.
At the university gate, students in uniforms with tanned skin were everywhere, and many parents came in cars to pick up their children for the holiday.
These were mostly parents of freshmen.
By the time students reached their sophomore or junior years, not only were parents reluctant to come, but students were also unwilling to travel long distances home.
When Su Lexuan and her roommates, all dressed up, appeared at the university gate, they immediately attracted attention from students and parents alike.
Several parents even asked their children if this was the girl who sang on TikTok recently.
Summer is a season for girls to show off their figures and personality.
Most of the girls at the gate wore short skirts, revealing their long, slender legs, fully showcasing their elegance and charm.
Su Lexuan was also dressed lightly today.
She wore a white T-shirt with a cartoon Mickey Mouse print, light blue denim shorts, and her slender, slightly tanned legs were exposed.
Her sweet, expectant smile as she chatted with her roommates caught the attention of many boys.
To many, she epitomized the sweet, outgoing girl they dreamed of during their first crush.
Even though her skin was slightly tanned, she was still one of the campus beauties, a dream girl for countless boys.
Rumors had been circulating in the school that Su Lexuan already had a boyfriend, but she had never clarified, leaving some boys with a glimmer of hope.
However, when they saw the pink necklace on her neck a few days ago, the campus forum was filled with wails of heartbreak from many boys.
Someone had confirmed that the necklace was one of the hottest couple's necklaces on TikTok.
This necklace, worth a few hundred yuan, symbolized that the dream girl of countless boys had been claimed by another guy!
Ye Xinxin shielded her eyes from the scorching sun, "Lexuan, is your lover here yet? It's so hot!"
"Pfft, he's your lover!" Su Lexuan blushed and teased her best friend, making the other roommates giggle.
After some playful banter, Su Lexuan said, "He said he's on the way, should be here soon."
Just then, Shen Lang's silver Mercedes appeared at the end of the road. Su Lexuan waved excitedly, "He's here!"
Her roommates eagerly looked in his direction, wanting to see the boy who won the heart of the campus beauty.
Ye Xinxin nodded approvingly, "Oh, a Mercedes. Seems like he's got some money."
Shen Lang parked the car beside them and got out. Su Lexuan immediately complained, "Why did you take so long? It's so hot out here!"
"There was a traffic jam. The road was packed with cars picking up kids."
Shen Lang gently wiped the sweat from Su Lexuan's forehead and looked at her tanned arm, feeling both amused and concerned.
"You're so tanned! Couldn't you ask the instructor for leave? During my military training, almost all the girls took leave."
"None of the girls in my class took leave. I didn't want to stand out."
Su Lexuan pouted, her face still wearing a dependent smile, then her eyes fell on the silver necklace around Shen Lang's neck.
"Hehe, how do you like the necklace I picked?"
"Not bad."
Shen Lang noticed that Su Lexuan was also wearing the pink necklace he bought her.
"Hey, can you consider our feelings?" Ye Xinxin said with a mix of amusement and frustration, "It's so hot out here. Can we get in the car first? You can chat all you want after that!"
"These are my roommates. This is my best friend, Ye Xinxin."
Su Lexuan blushed slightly as she introduced everyone, feeling a bit embarrassed for forgetting them.
Introducing Shen Lang, she said a bit proudly, "This is Shen Lang. You all know about him, so I won't say more."
Shen Lang looked at the group of pretty girls, and the system immediately prompted him.
**Option 1: Friendly compliment: Haha, you're all so beautiful. My car is blessed today.**
**Option 2: Disdainful question: Don't you have any sense? Can't you take a taxi? Don't you understand the concept of a couple's world?**
**Option 3: Excited invitation: Tsk tsk, you're all pretty. Let's go to the beach. I'll rent a yacht, and we'll have a party!**
"Hello, everyone."
Shen Lang greeted them warmly, then glanced at each roommate and smiled, "You're all so beautiful. My car is blessed today."
The roommates smiled shyly, feeling quite pleased.
No girl dislikes being called beautiful, which is why so many guys resort to flattery.
However, compliments should be given appropriately. Mindless flattery can make you seem like a sycophant!
Ye Xinxin's eyes twinkled mischievously as she smiled, "Shen Lang, besides your girlfriend, who do you think is the prettiest?"
