He turned and saw him staring blankly at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Ziqiang nodded in silent agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got on his bed to take a quick nap, but before sleeping, he saw Song Yao had posted many photos in the group—scenery, and pictures of the two of them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou swallowed, said nothing, and marveled that college students were even more boring than high schoolers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang said without turning around: “I heard someone say she’s a freshman from the Finance College. Holy shit, compared to her, my high school’s top beauty looks pathetic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with these two idiots. Still, this was the dorm’s first meal outside—better show some participation: “Fine, I’ll nap for a bit. Wake me when we’re leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou washed his face and stepped out to find everyone gathered around Xu Zhengyang’s computer, murmuring in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop staring, Lao Xu—no matter how much you look, she’s not yours. Get your shoes on. We’re guys—we should get there early.” Kong Xianbo noticed it was already 5:40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You tried?” Xu Qingzhou was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Xu Qingzhou, the other three were all ready to leave at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 5:30 p.m., Xu Zhengyang dragged Xu Qingzhou up, telling him to get ready—they were leaving at 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, Lao Xu, you’ve got to be proactive if you want something to happen,” Kong Xianbo added. He had no intention of dating—it’d mess with his studies—but he genuinely enjoyed watching others drown in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On screen was a photo: the girl wore a white dress, her dark hair fluttering in the breeze, her eyes clear as autumn water, standing tall and elegant, radiating a cool, detached aura. He assumed Xu Qingzhou was stunned, and felt a bit smug: “Lao Xu, I really thought you’d cut off all emotion, had no interest in girls. Turns out you’re just like the rest of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Ziqiang didn’t plan to date, but he still looked forward to this gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Authentic Beijing cuisine—right on the pedestrian street beside campus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou’s expression twisted. He desperately wanted to know why Song Yao’s photo was here! That dress, that back—wasn’t that the one taken when she waited for him by the cafeteria entrance? “Where’s this photo from?” he muttered, feeling a headache coming on. Xu Zhengyang exited the image and pointed at the screen: “The confession wall. Someone posted it saying a once-in-a-century beauty appeared at Jindan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang cleared his throat, thinking he’d blown it—but still puffed out his chest: “Why test it? A girl like her? She’d never handle a man as wild and untamed as me. She knows her place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lao Xu, have more confidence,” Xu Zhengyang patted Xu Qingzhou’s shoulder seriously. “You didn’t date in high school, but that doesn’t mean you won’t in college.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang smacked his thigh. “Right! Our focus—tonight’s social gathering!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the group, Guo Ziyang was envious—couples everywhere—and secretly vowed that once in college, he’d find a girlfriend fast, couldn’t keep watching these bastards flaunt their love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far away, four women strolling past a street stall were chatting about boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Qingzhou’s dazed expression, Kong Xianbo said beside him: “Lao Xu, I get it—but just admire her. Don’t get ideas. Otherwise, you’ll realize how cruel the world’s inequalities really are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I’m a Shrimp】: The Finance College’s turning out beauties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of netizens was strong—someone quickly posted relevant info.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou didn’t believe it—he figured this guy had talked to Xue Ying and got utterly rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys go. I want to rest.” Xu Qingzhou had been walking all day and didn’t want to move another step—he just wanted to lie down and sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four walked toward the restaurant, and coincidentally spotted Shen Yueqing and the others strolling nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Ziqiang made room for Xu Qingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are we eating tonight?” Xu Qingzhou changed shoes. The confession wall thing? Just a joke—they’d forget it soon enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time’s about right. We planned to meet at 6:10—we’ll get to the restaurant exactly at 6.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang grinned. “I checked out their dorm photos—they’re all pretty decent, Lao Xu. You’ve got to grab the chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou wiped his face, muttering: “What beauty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting, he put his phone down and prepared to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lao Xu, come see the beauties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah,” Shen Yueqing nodded, fiddling with a bookmark on the stall. “Have you noticed how weak our class’s guys are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think they’re all fine,” Zhang Shuyi smiled, choosing the middle ground. She didn’t care about looks—her top priority now was getting elected class monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Ying thought a moment, then said: “Xu Qingzhou’s okay—looks natural, not stiff or fake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“None meet my boyfriend standards,” Shen Yueqing shook her head. Xu Qingzhou was natural, but unremarkable. Xu Zhengyang wore designer brands, but his style was an eyesore. Kong Xianbo was plain. Zhai Ziqiang? No need to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1094,"2026-06-20T21:06:39.533Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bf97c7ca3efd45d84e5858e0bc1db152d6caa92be49a6674b21e0623881e5fd7","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-51","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-49",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
