She’s exactly 168 cm, okay! Though, admittedly, that’s with shoes on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao clenched her teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he sensed things were going south, Xu Qingzhou had already slipped away, thinking: Is just questioning someone’s height really worth getting this mad? Watching the boy’s lazy back recede, Song Yao could only stomp her foot and mutter, “Xu Qingzhou, you’re a total jerk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she cursed aloud, her lips curved into a soft smile as she gazed at the cake box, sighed, and turned back toward the dorm building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorm 206.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao hummed a tune as she pushed open the dorm door; Teng Xiaojuan still hadn’t returned, only Zhang Qiong and Zhong Ruotong were inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the dessert box in Song Yao’s hands, Zhang Qiong felt a flicker of familiarity and asked, “Did Xu Qingzhou give you this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, he said the pastries here are delicious.” Song Yao set the cake aside, opened the half-eaten fried rice noodles—they were cold, but somehow tasted better now than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I thought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang opened the website and gasped: “Song Yao is already number one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read! {\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the left side of the podium, Xu Qingzhou and the others quickly found Kong Xianbo holding the class signboard, while Zhang Shuyi held the attendance book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting the other two boys in the class to sign in, Kong Xianbo finally had time to join them and gossip: “I just saw Song Yao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military training day began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou was also scrolling through the website—Song Yao was indeed number one, the photo still the one from the confession wall. Scrolling further down, he realized none of these girls were as beautiful as Song Yao—or rather, their looks weren’t bad, but their aura fell short of hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cry of surprise rang out behind the four of them; they turned to find it was Shen Yueqing and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides Yuan Xiaoye, the other three are all fine.” Kong Xianbo was still annoyed by that haughty woman, then turned to Xu Qingzhou: “Old Xu, got anyone you like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After writing his name in the attendance book, he found a shady spot and squatted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the three of them arrived, the entire training ground was packed with people—training hadn’t started yet, and the freshmen clustered in groups here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing upperclassmen sighed and muttered, unconsciously realizing they were now the elders, while silently wishing for good weather in the coming days—preferably clear skies without a single cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning, the streets filled with new students in military green uniforms, chattering excitedly, full of boundless anticipation for university life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang sat backward on his chair and asked Xu Qingzhou: “What do you think of these girls today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really that pretty?” Xu Qingzhou remained expressionless—maybe because he’d spent too much time with Song Yao, he’d grown somewhat immune to her beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Xianbo and Zhai Ziqiang returned to their seats, unwilling to fall for it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou sat down on the chair and slipped on his slippers: “I just walked around a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost, get lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Xianbo nodded firmly and swore: “I dare say they’re prettier than the girls on Jingda’s campus beauty list!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang got interested, patted Xu Qingzhou and Zhai Ziqiang: “Come on, let’s go check out the girls over there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Xianbo pointed across the training ground, where the density of freshmen was clearly higher than elsewhere: “There—over there, next to all those guys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang and the other two instantly perked up; when they gathered close, they heard him say slowly and deliberately: “Romance? I wouldn’t even date a dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Qingzhou returned, Xu Zhengyang and the other three were deep in conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang waved him off, too lazy to listen to this guy’s nonsense—he took it as a joke. A guy who’d never had a girlfriend was talking about cementing his heart? He’d been rained on himself, so now he wanted to tear the umbrella away from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xu, where’d you go? You’re only back now?” Xu Zhengyang was beaming—this social event had warmed up his “relationship” with Dong Shan considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eagerly nudged Kong Xianbo: “Quick, Old Kong, send me the campus beauty list.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorm 101 had only Xu Qingzhou, Xu Zhengyang, and Zhai Ziqiang; Kong Xianbo had secured a spot as the Class 1 male representative and went ahead to the training ground to handle sign-in duties. This year’s military training was split into two fields, and coincidentally, Xu Qingzhou’s School of Mathematics and the School of Economics were both in Field 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Xu Qingzhou refused. On such a scorching day, going to see someone he’d practically seen every day before? Pure waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruotong was right—they’d only known each other two days, and they still didn’t know how far things had gone. To sabotage a roommate’s romance on day two? Nah, better to observe a bit longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you still see them?” Xu Zhengyang regretted arriving too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.” Xu Qingzhou brushed it off—in comparison, Song Yao was still prettier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to pursue Song Yao?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beautiful, extremely beautiful—not like those fake, overly youthful celebrities, way better.” Kong Xianbo looked awestruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How was it?” Xu Zhengyang asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not the upperclassmen’s prayers had been answered, the first day of military training was a brilliant, sunny day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang thought Xu Qingzhou was being timid: “It’s just a quick look—what’s the harm? Didn’t you have confidence in pursuing Song Yao yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was built by upperclassmen from two years ago—I stumbled on it by accident.” Kong Xianbo adjusted his glasses with a disclaimer, then tapped his phone a few times: “Sent it to the group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Almost fell for it—you’re just making excuses because you can’t get a girlfriend!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? I didn’t know that?” Xu Zhengyang hadn’t thought much about it—he just figured things like a “campus beauty list” or a “confession wall” were what university life was supposed to be like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingda’s campus beauty list?” Xu Qingzhou caught the detail—this guy was definitely a closet romantic, already digging up stuff like this so fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After complaining, Xu Zhengyang couldn’t help muttering: “Old Xu, you really aren’t planning to find someone in college?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiong’s heart sank slightly; she exchanged a glance with Zhong Ruotong, opened her mouth, but seeing Song Yao’s happy expression, suddenly felt it would be cruel to shatter her illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou sighed deeply, wearing an expression of world-weary enlightenment: “Cemented heart—I’m done with the pain of love.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to know? Come closer.” Xu Qingzhou waved them over, looking mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve already done all the posturing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who spoke just now was Shen Yueqing; her expression was surprised, tinged with faint disdain. Qiao Yongjuan looked equally startled, while Xue Ying’s expression was complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhengyang felt a twinge of guilt but quickly regained composure—after all, bragging wasn’t illegal. He lifted his chin: “So what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys must not have woken up yet.” Shen Yueqing found it hilarious—they couldn’t even stand these guys, let alone Song Yao, who’d caused a stir since day one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to pursue Song Yao? These guys are delusional! Only one chapter tonight—future chapters will be posted together for easier reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-20T21:06:39.533Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f3e858c8240676d2866bc3b87077a7288b0206212d1759590f811b926da6d6bc","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-56","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-54",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
