Chapter 367: Presence Exploded

For the next half month or so, Lu Yaoyao did not appear again.

The plan for Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan to slash the sports car tires could not be carried out.

As for the various versions of rumors about Qin Tian and that wealthy beauty from outside the school, they soon collapsed on their own.

Because Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan were still inseparable every day, not at all like the relationship breakdown described in the rumors.

Many boys and girls in the school who were paying attention to the two had different thoughts.

Quite a few girls who shipped the two were relieved and felt genuinely happy.

If a love like theirs could run into problems, then they would really find it hard to believe in love anymore.

Of course, there were also many single boys and girls who felt regret, thinking that if the two really broke up, they might have a small chance.

Whether it was Qin Tian or Xia Nuannuan, their attractiveness to the opposite sex was beyond doubt.

In the calm and fulfilling campus life, November soon drew to a close.

The first semester of university for this batch of freshmen seemed to have passed by more than half in the blink of an eye.

While everyone had fully adapted to university life, many were also anxious about one thing.

That was successfully finding a partner!

Due to the current state of domestic education in this regard, before university, almost all schools prohibited dating.

The curiosity and hormones of adolescent boys and girls toward the opposite sex were suppressed from middle school through high school, then reached a peak before entering university.

This also led to many freshmen being eager to find a partner after entering university.

Besides this, there was also some potential competition and comparison.

For instance, if someone in a boys' dormitory found a partner first, they would always become an object of envy and jealousy for the others.

However, seeing that the first semester was about to end, only a small portion had found partners.

Many freshmen also learned a saying from seniors: the first semester after entering university is actually when the chance of finding a partner is highest; it gets harder the further you go.

For this batch of freshmen, because of the incidents where Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan appeared on the campus forum several times, the number of people who found partners was significantly lower than in previous years.

Therefore, Qin Tian's Dorm 208 was viewed as an anomaly by other boys in the two Economics classes regarding this matter, and whenever it was brought up, it was always with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Not to mention Qin Tian, a damn winner in life.

Cao Mingliang, this second-generation miner with a mountain of gold at home, was already an experienced hand, now maneuvering among different girls every day with ease, which also made them green with envy.

As for that big fool Chen Zhuang, he and Shen Siqi were practically already together.

What the boys found most unacceptable was that Zhuang Zhe, a guy with very low presence, had actually gotten along quite well with a beauty from another class; some people often saw the two going to the library together.

This morning in the Advanced Mathematics class, when Zhuang Zhe and Tian Jing walked into the classroom together with their books, his presence exploded for the first time.

In the classroom, the boys from the two classes immediately blew up.

"Damn, I suddenly really want to go back to high school; at least back then I had a female deskmate. Now I haven't even spoken to a girl in half a month."

"Don't even mention it, it's all tears!"

"Who is that girl?"

"From the English Department Class 2, she went to the outdoor barbecue with us last time."

"No way, Qin Tian created such a good opportunity for you guys, and he's the one who grabbed it? Are you guys useless?"

"Don't act like you're so great; do you know how high the requirements for girls are now?"

"Forget it, if only Qin Tian were in our class. It's been almost three months, and I haven't even had contact with a girl from another class."

"Brother, why did Tian Jing come?"

Xia Nuannuan also recognized Tian Jing and asked Qin Tian beside her with some surprise.

After she rushed over to the barbecue last time, she had chatted with Tian Jing and Su Yan, so they could be considered friends.

Qin Tian, who was reading a book, heard this, lifted his eyes to look over there, and answered with a smile: "Zhuang Zhe said her Advanced Mathematics is a bit difficult, so she's following him to audit the class today."

"I see!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded in realization and raised her right hand to wave.

Tian Jing smiled at her somewhat shyly, walked over with Zhuang Zhe, and sat down in the row behind the two.

"Zhe, your presence is a bit strong today!"

Cao Mingliang teased with a chuckle.

The people around heard this, and meaningful smiles appeared on their faces.

Zhuang Zhe just rolled his eyes at Cao Mingliang, said nothing, opened his own Advanced Mathematics textbook, and looked at Tian Jing, who was blushing slightly beside him.

"Just ignore him. We've reached this point in Advanced Mathematics; how is the progress in your class?"

"Hmm, about the same."

Tian Jing nodded.

"That's good. How about we swap textbooks? My notes in it are quite detailed; you can take a look."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Saying this, the two swapped Advanced Mathematics textbooks.

"You take a look first, and ask me if there's anything you don't understand. I feel like I'm listening to the Advanced Mathematics class pretty well."

"Okay, are you very good at math?"

"Not really, I only got a hundred and thirty-something on the college entrance exam, much worse than Brother Tian and the others. It was all scores from grinding practice problems, but I don't know why, after starting university, my brain feels a bit sharper."

"Really?"

Tian Jing's face showed surprise, and then she began to flip through the textbook.

Zhuang Zhe didn't disturb her either; he looked at Cao Mingliang and Chen Zhuang, who were turning their heads and grinning in front, and asked irritably: "What?"

"Hehe... it's nothing, it's nothing."

Chen Zhuang smiled and shook his head.

"What the hell are you laughing at!"

Cao Mingliang glanced at him and said with a look of disgust, "If you and Shen Siqi are any slower, Zhuang Zhe will be ahead of you."

Sitting in the row behind Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan with Lu Lei, Siqi lowered her head to read her book, pretending she didn't hear that.

"Is there any need to distinguish who's first and who's last? I'm not in a rush, unlike you, dating fast and breaking up fast?"

Chen Zhuang said dismissively.

"Damn, sit here by yourself then, I'm going to find a girl."

Cao Mingliang picked up his textbook and walked straight toward a girl from Class Two.

"Pah, you dead scumbag!"

Chen Zhuang spat.

Tian Jing watched the two of them, looking a bit dazed.

"No need to be surprised, they're just two idiots."

Zhuang Zhe lowered his voice and said.

"Pfft!"

Tian Jing covered her mouth and laughed out loud, whispering, "I couldn't tell, you're actually quite bold!"

Zhuang Zhe smiled and shrugged.

Xia Nuannuan took this scene in, her beautiful, pretty face filled with a doting "auntie smile" as she watched the potential couple.

"Laughing so happily?"

Qin Tian suddenly reached out and gently pinched her little face, which revealed a pair of shallow dimples.

"Hey, don't pinch my face."

Xia Nuannuan raised her hand to swat away his claws, glaring at him indignantly.

"It felt too good, I couldn't help it."

Qin Tian grinned.

Xia Nuannuan rolled her eyes, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and said with sparkling eyes, "Brother, they seem like a good match!"

"What? Want to play matchmaker again?"

Qin Tian said with amusement.

"What are you talking about? I don't, and besides, this doesn't even need one, okay!"

"Alright, stop worrying about other people's business. If you have the time, you'd be better off reading your book more."

"Fine!"
