"Let's head back to school now."
Looking at Fang Minhui's curvaceous figure, Shen Yuan actually felt a bit restless, but playing poker is something you can't be too eager about; it's better when things happen naturally.
The dormitory gates generally close at 10 PM, and it's now 9 PM, so there's plenty of time to get back.
Upon hearing Shen Yuan's suggestion, Fang Minhui also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had really made that kind of proposition at this moment, she wouldn't have known how to handle it.
While the two were waiting for a Didi ride at the entrance of IFC Mall, Dazhe across the street had just finished up his business for the day and was preparing to close the shop.
Having repaired phones all day, he was really damn tired.
After closing up, he stretched himself and thought about going to the Peach Club to see masseuse No. 18 for some relaxation.
His gaze inadvertently swept over to the entrance of IFC Mall; Dazhe rubbed his eyes and muttered, "What's he doing here?"
He had a deep impression of that spendthrift from yesterday and didn't expect to see him here again today.
When he saw there was a graceful beauty next to him, in an instant, Dazhe became unsettled.
Especially since that beauty was holding two Prada handbags in her hand.
Holy crap, wasn't it just yesterday that he came to me to get a freebie when buying an LV? And now he's gone and bought two Pradas?
Dazhe felt instantly out of balance. Dammit, a spendthrift at least gets to chase girls, but what about me?
...
Half an hour later, Shen Yuan dropped Fang Minhui off at the International campus's female dormitory.
After waving goodbye to Shen Yuan, Fang Minhui went upstairs, feeling completely satisfied; today had really been a fruitful day for her.
Additionally, she was somewhat impatient to open the shopping bags to see the handbags inside.
Usually, when buying something online, she could anticipate the delivery for a long time, let alone a bag that cost over twenty thousand!
"Wow! Prada!"
Chen Ling, who was binge-watching a drama, heard the door and turned around reflexively, exclaiming when she spotted Fang Minhui's shopping bags.
Chen Ling ran up to Fang Minhui, picked up the shopping bags, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, he actually gave you a Prada?"
But no sooner had she finished speaking, Chen Ling noticed another one in Fang Minhui's hand, and she became even more unsettled, "Two?"
"He gave you two?"
Chen Ling said in disbelief. Those are Pradas, even the cheapest would cost over ten thousand each!
"Mhm."
Fang Minhui nodded shyly.
"There are many fakes of Prada. It's easy for someone who doesn't know to be cheated."
Zhu Qiaofeng, who was listening to music, felt disturbed and said so nonchalantly.
The two who had been excited were suddenly doused with cold water. Chen Ling looked at Zhu Qiaofeng and said indignantly, "That's just sour grapes, isn't it? She bought them at the official store in IFC Mall. How could they be fake?"
Fang Minhui's dorm was a four-person one, but she and Chen Ling weren't so lucky, having been assigned to room with people from Class 1.
But even with the mixed room assignment, the two girls who lived with them didn't get along well due to personality and other factors.
Especially Zhu Qiaofeng, who had just spoken, always acted so self-centered.
After 10 PM, she wouldn't let anyone talk because she said she needed to cultivate a mood for sleep. In the morning, no one was allowed to get up before 7 AM because she claimed her nervous breakdown caused poor sleep quality and she couldn't stand any noise.
These harsh demands were proposed by Zhu Qiaofeng herself, yet she couldn't even adhere to them, often still on the phone with her boyfriend after 10 PM, and sometimes getting up to wash and brush her teeth just after 6 AM, causing a racket.
Such a hypocrite, Chen Ling wondered how she had managed to get by in high school!
"You weren't there. How do you know she went to the official store?"
Zhu Qiaofeng rolled her eyes.
"You...."
Chen Ling was stuck for words and started to reorganize her language to continue the argument, but Fang Minhui was in a good mood and stopped her, "It's okay, don't bother with her."
Zhu Qiaofeng scoffed, "Quite the pretense."
Chen Ling had been tolerating her for a long time, unable to swallow her pride, "So you say it's fake, and it becomes fake, huh? But then again, some people can't even get a fake one. It's a shame having a boyfriend for so many years."
"You..."
Chen Ling's sarcasm had its desired effect; Zhu Qiaofeng's face turned red in an instant, left speechless and unable to retort.
"Alright, Lingling, stop it."
"Okay, okay, let's open the package. We've only seen it in photos before, but now we finally have the chance to touch the real thing!"
Chen Ling's attention was immediately diverted; she was somewhat impatient, even more excited than Fang Minhui, the person of the hour.
Shen Yuan really was generous, going all out with two bags!
...
On the other side, Shen Yuan was also in a good mood. He whistled leisurely as he climbed the stairs, but when he got to the fifth floor, he found Li Zhanpeng chatting and shooting the breeze with some classmates.
All the dorms for International Business Class 2 were on the fifth floor. Li Zhanpeng's room was 505, but for some reason, they had practically moved their conversation to the doorstep of 503.
"Zhanpeng, I'm really envious of you. You quietly snagged the class belle. Us guys have been single throughout the three years of college."
"It's a pity. I thought I had a chance before, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it."
"Zhanpeng, this calls for a celebration. You've got to treat us to a meal, and it better be fancy!"
The boys surrounded Li Zhanpeng, their words a mixture of envy, jealousy, resentment, and even a bit of flattery.
"A meal is nothing; KTV is fine too."
Li Zhanpeng waved his hand nonchalantly, with a carefree expression: "When the time comes, I'll invite the whole class and have a blast."
"Brother Peng is mighty!"
"Brother Peng is generous!"
"Brother Peng, I'm from Class 1, can I join in too?"
Amidst the praises of "Brother Peng", Li Zhanpeng slowly lost himself, casting an inadvertent glance at Dorm 503: "Of course, you can. When the time comes, all the comrades from 503 have to come too, not a single one less!"
When he said this, Li Zhanpeng deliberately raised his voice so the people inside couldn't miss it.
Shen Yuan chuckled and replied as he passed by, "No problem, Brother Peng. Everyone from 503 will definitely be there. When do you plan it? We'll make time in advance."
Li Zhanpeng was startled, thinking Shen Yuan was still in the dorm, not expecting him to suddenly appear beside him.
"I'll let you know when it's settled."
Li Zhanpeng had always disapproved of Shen Yuan, and replied unenthusiastically.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Shen Yuan left behind a meaningful smile, then pushed the door and returned to 503.
Li Zhanpeng watched Shen Yuan's back, muttering a curse in his heart, unsure of what he had to be so smug about.
After family bankruptcy and being cheated on by his girlfriend, if I were him I'd have lost face to attend school and would have dropped out and gone home long ago!
"Damn it, this Li Zhanpeng, bragging about watching a movie with the class belle as if he wants the whole school to know."
The moment Shen Yuan entered 503, he heard Huang Haibao complaining, and Old Huang, seeing Shen Yuan return, was even more dissatisfied: "Old Third, you're back. You heard that, right? It's obvious they're targeting us at 503."
"It's nothing, he can't keep this up for long."
Shen Yuan lazily responded, even though Fang Minhui had already gone to a movie with Li Zhanpeng last night, she had dinner with him this evening at a Japanese restaurant and then strolled around IFC Mall. Plus, he bought her two Prada bags.
In his opinion, Fang Minhui's choice was obvious.
"What do you mean?"
"Because Fang Minhui won't end up with him."
Huang Haibao scoffed: "Old Third, stop blowing smoke. Fang Minhui went to see a movie with him last night, and she didn't agree to a date with you today. It shows she really intends to be with Li Zhanpeng."
"Believe it or not, up to you."
Shen Yuan waved it off carelessly. He had been busy all evening and was somewhat tired, wanting only to return to dreamland as soon as possible.
