His gang's protection network is intricate and far-reaching, even openly attending the birthday banquet of a "black boss" and calling each other brothers. Despite multiple instances of his family memb...Chapter 6: The Heartbroken Youth

Sigh. Soon after, Tang Wu's text message arrived.

Under the rosy sunlight, Su Can stood alone in front of the girls' dormitory building, staring at his phone with a dazed look.

The text from Tang Wu was not as simple or straightforward as "Mm-hmm" or "Okay."

Generally speaking, this message conveyed ten times more content than simply saying "okay," encompassing both the girl's reserved mindset and her urgent desire to see him. It also communicated that she was very willing and eagerly anticipated his visit.

Looking at Tang Wu’s dormitory building made Su Can think of his own thirteenth dormitory building, from where he could clearly see the balconies and scenery on the opposite side of the girls' dormitory. Unconsciously, he looked around, but fortunately, all the buildings across were female dormitories, so there wouldn't be any situation with binoculars spying on each other.

Su Can thought about it and sent text messages to Wang Weiwei, Lin Luoran, and Lin Zhoudou respectively. He had called Xue Yi Yang and Liu Rui the previous night; they were all quite enthusiastic about their college life.

At this moment, Lin Zhoudou was outside at a stall debating over drinking beer with someone. Wang Weiwei had just moved into his room in the old dormitory building of Youth College, lying on an uncomfortable bed while reading a book and listening to music, reminiscing about their previous group days.

In comparison to these two's gloomy situations, Lin Luoran at Shanghai International Studies University was completely thriving. When she received Su Can’s text message, she was in Pizza Hut tasting the cheesy pizza, surrounded by boys who were fawning over her. "Sis, I'm eating now. Do you miss me Wait a bit, maybe during vacation I'll come play at your university."

Upon returning to their dormitory, Tang Wu and her three roommates briefly greeted each other; they had met on the day of registration but were mostly busy with their own affairs.

When she left, one girl was talking on the phone on the windowsill. Another was applying blush in front of a mirror on her desk, while it's said that this same girl would perform the ethnic dance "Gasa Mei Duo" at the welcome party for freshmen.

The third girl was doing yoga's bird pose on her upper bunk, with colored strips and blue paper clouds stuck to the ceiling. This girl indeed seemed to embody her motto: “Add four more eyes to see four dimensions.”

All three girls were sharp-witted individuals from various parts of China; their backgrounds alone would be extraordinary in any region. In university, they wouldn't be like high school where there are various centers; everyone believed themselves to be central figures and each had an extraordinary college life ahead of them, stirring up the tranquil campus with handsome boys and shining stars within departments.

When Tang Wu closed the door and left, Cheng Congcong, who was applying makeup at the table and could see through the mirror, took a glance at Tang Wu. Standing at 5’6" and specialized in dance, she subconsciously looked at Tang Wu’s height of 5’7". She originally thought that it would be quite difficult to find someone with similar physical attributes in university, but now they were roommates. While thinking this over, she lowered her head to take a look at her well-developed bust and wondered who actually had the bigger assets.

Ruan Siou, who was on the balcony making a phone call, smiled into the receiver as he watched Tang Wu’s back figure. "Alright, after dinner tonight, I’ll gather Ke Ji and some other guys to celebrate our dorm life in university. Oh right, we have three beauties in our room, so let’s see if those boys from Ke Ji are up for the challenge."

Ruan Siou’s words prompted the two girls in the room to interrupt with a chorus of "Hey!" Their tone carried an irresistible sweetness.

As Ruan Siou stuck out his tongue at the two girls, he squinted and said, "Heh, we also have a cold beauty in our room. She’s tall and looks great—definitely above 9 points on Ke Ji's scale of attractiveness. Right now she has something to do outside, but if you want to organize an activity for our dorm to get together, I won’t mind. But from what I see, those boys will have to think twice about whether they’re worthy before approaching her. She’s a proud one! Anyway, how are Little Luo and Xiaoxiao doing Have you found any men that the lady looks down upon"

Over the phone, Luo Xiaoxiao said, "Siou-siou, you're really mean. Ever since you mentioned your father when talking about dating a certain boy last time, I can’t help but think of what you said whenever I see any guys now, and it’s hurting my little heart! Your words have spread around our boys’ dormitory, and some of them actually want to meet this woman with such messed-up logic."

"What I’ve already gained a bit of fame" Ruan Siou clicked his tongue.

"Don’t kid yourself. The fame you’re getting is all thanks to your poisonous mouth that ruins people’s reputations. If those boys who signed up for university knew what you were saying, they would probably want to cry! You’ve indirectly damaged a great tree of young Chinese men!"

As Ruan Siou continued bickering with his friend over the phone, Tang Wu had already stood in front of Su Can on the ground floor outside her dormitory entrance.

Tang Wu had been hesitant when she left earlier. She and her parents had stayed at a hotel last night where they could take showers to wash off their travel dust. However, today she was busy organizing her cabinet and personal items and hadn’t taken a shower yet. Since she couldn’t feel as refreshed without one, it would be awkward for her to change into new clothes.

She wanted to clean up first before meeting Su Can in the best state possible after receiving his message. But three days had already passed since they last met, and Tang Wu was curious about how he was doing, so she agreed to come down.

Su Can only noticed at this moment that Tang Wu had grown a bit taller over her senior year of high school as she stood in front of him.

Though Su Can was also 6 feet tall and his body maintained its proportionate figure from three years of exercise, he still felt somewhat lecherous while sizing up Tang Wu’s physique at this moment.

Tang Wu subconsciously noticed that she was still wearing the plain, sleeveless sports vest she had worn during her graduation summer exercise routine. The clothing hugged her tightly.

Today, while in her dormitory, she was busy cleaning and organizing clothes, so it was convenient to wear such a sporty vest, at least more covered than those girls doing yoga with only a bra top that resembled bikini tops. She hadn't exposed herself unnecessarily before the women of the dorm.

In an environment where all surrounding buildings are occupied by females, Tang Wu wearing this wasn't inappropriate, but now she stood in front of a wolf, a wolf named Su Xican.

When Tang Wu's entire figure and curves were exposed to Su Can's stunned gaze, she circled her right hand around her left wrist as if trying to cover something. She couldn’t deliberately ask Su Can, who was staring at her chest, "What are you looking at." However, the awkwardness of the moment forced her to say something, so Tang Wu blushed and whispered softly, “Is it nice” Her tone carried half a portion of annoyance.

Then, in a manner similar to Bái Yún’s performance on Spring Festival Gala, Su Can said casually, "That's incredibly beautiful."

Su Can's voice was loud. At this moment, girls from the first-floor bathroom were applying shampoo to their hair under the showerheads, washing their first school shower in a strange environment.

In an unfamiliar setting, these girls would think about many things, such as their parents who have left them, which senior they find attractive and handsome at the reception department, or whether the university's female bathhouses are always coveted by male students, wondering if it is safe here, and if there could be a hidden spot discovered by some ill-intentioned wolves.

Thus, unfortunately for Su Can, his voice rang out loudly against the wall outside at exactly this moment.

The girls in the bathroom, with their heads covered, collectively screamed "Ah!"

A speechless Su Can saw the dormitory manager ladies padding around in slippers and brooms. Reacting quickly, he grabbed Tang Wu and ran as fast as he could.

Thus, the incident of a pervert outside the female bathroom of Building 17 spread.

"That's incredibly beautiful! That despicable pervert dares to openly leer at this old lady in broad daylight; I'll catch him and tie him to a tree trunk, giving him lashes until he dies!" A muscular senior from the Physical Education Department boasted with clenched fists before girls who were allegedly victims of that day.

Su Can didn't dare appear under Tang Wu's dormitory building for about a month after this incident.

Su Cen dragged Tang Wu and ran past several dormitory buildings. Finally, he stopped on a path between lawns, leaning over with his legs spread apart and panting heavily. Tang Wu wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, unsure whether to be amused or exasperated. Her clear and beautiful eyes glimmered.

"I should have caught you earlier," Tang Wu said with a smile. "You’re such a pervert."

"It’s all just a misunderstanding. But if I had known it was a misunderstanding, I would still have wanted to come back and not let anyone unjustly defame me," Su Cen replied wistfully.

Tang Wu bit her lip and punched him twice on the arm.

Su Cen quickly claimed it was a slip of the tongue as he tried to divert attention away from this incident. He thought inwardly, "Tang Wu really hits hard."

Looking around, they had arrived at the East District canteen. The sprinting exercise made them both feel slightly hungry. As they entered the cafeteria and lined up with their stainless steel containers, second- and third-year students who were getting food shot curious glances in Tang Wu’s direction, wondering which department or major she belonged to. They were dazzled by her appearance and then cast sympathetic gazes toward Su Cen standing beside her.

There were plenty of beautiful girls at NDU, but it wasn’t a university where even female dinosaurs would be considered scarce. Given Tang Wu’s quality, she undoubtedly ranked among the most attractive in the university; generally speaking, such girls were notoriously hard to pursue. One clear sign of this was that there were always boys willing to sacrifice the numbers on their meal cards for her.

The most famous example was a senior from the Foreign Languages College who had been dating widely since entering the school as a freshman and could often be seen in the city’s finest, most exquisite cafés and restaurants eating various delicacies. There were always men sitting beside her as guests.

And these men never repeated.

In the view of these senior brothers, this was another pitiful young man sacrificing himself for a beautiful girl, drowning in hardship yet unaware of the way back to safety.

The result was that many people noticed Tang Wu, with her tight sleeveless crop top and an excellent figure, take two plates and go to the chubby cafeteria attendant. She ordered a plate of light vegetables and legumes rich in plant protein, as well as another plate of various meat dishes not cheap at all.

The attendant smiled and generously scooped half a spoon more red-braised pork into Tang Wu’s plate, thinking that it would be nice if the young generation could eat well to develop into such outstanding figures.u was embarrassed.Through the high-powered telescope, Su Can couldn't see clearly what happened next, but when he did, a sudden rush of blood surged toward his forehead.The thin black string.
