159: A girl who wants to disrupt her holiday

Aside from Bai Xiu, Feng Qinmian also lingered around Shen Qian quite often. Shen Qian would always run into her from time to time, and she would greet him politely as usual, but unlike others, her eyes held a hint of ambiguity.

Shen Qian knew that this girl probably had some intentions, but he was currently on holiday and didn't want to start a new relationship, so he chose to ignore her subtle appearances.

He originally thought his days would pass uneventfully, but a sudden appearance of a girl disrupted Shen Qian's holiday.

"Hello, my name is Song Mengyuan, from the Literature Department. Like you, I'm also a first year."

In the cafeteria, Shen Qian was eating with Gao Haitao when a girl suddenly sat opposite them.

She introduced herself right away. Gao Haitao stared blankly at the girl. She was wearing a light-colored long-sleeved shirt that fit her figure well, despite the weather turning colder. She had a melon-seed face, small lips, large eyes, and hair on both sides that partially obscured her face, but her overall demeanor was very outstanding.

"Seven points."

Shen Qian silently assessed her in his mind.

New talents arise in every generation, replacing the old.

This is especially true in universities; the so-called Campus Belles are automatically removed once they reach their senior year.

And the first year girls will take their place.

Shen Qian looked at the girl. It seemed this girl was the new Campus Belle, though she was still a bit less than Xie Wan, and not as cute as Xia Mengling.

Even though she was only a first year, the pride in her eyes was completely undisguised.

Shen Qian felt nothing for such a girl, because even if he was handsome, even if he was rich, in the eyes of such a girl, he would probably only be qualified to be her spare tire.

Rather than spending time dealing with her, he might as well have more make-out sessions with Xie Wan.

Speaking of make-out sessions, their frequency seemed a bit too high lately, once in the morning, once in the evening. If it weren't for the cold weather, Shen Qian felt that he and Xie Wan would most likely have achieved a new achievement in the small woods.

Thinking this, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Xie Wan.

"Tonight."

"Waiting for you."

The reply came quickly. Shen Qian put away his phone with satisfaction, his expression softening slightly as he looked at the girl in front of him.

"Is there something you need?"

"I introduced myself to you, shouldn't you introduce yourself?"

"Are you trying to hit on me?"

"What hitting on? I just wanted to get to know you."

"Hello, Shen Qian."

"Hello, my name is Gao Haitao, I'm from the Student Union, and like Old Shen, I'm also a first year. We're both from the School of Human Resources."

This guy, Gao Haitao, always talked about wanting to be a scumbag himself, but when he actually met a pretty girl, he still stammered so much.

"Shen Qian, I think I've heard that name somewhere before."

The girl pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

"I remember now! The 'Little Teddy' rumor from the start of school, that was you, wasn't it?"

"Those are all rumors, Old Shen is a very good person."

Gao Haitao quickly helped explain. Shen Qian, on the other hand, remained silent. If it were a 5- or 6-point girl, he believed she would actively approach him because he was handsome. But this was a 7-point girl; she had too many options.

It had been almost two months since school started in September, and there was also military training in between. There were so many new things happening at school, he didn't think a girl would still remember gossip from another department from over two months ago.

And especially such a beautiful girl. The attentions of various male classmates, senior students, and club members around her should be enough for her to forget many things.

As for pretty girls not being pursued, those are just lies to fool idiots.

"I'm done eating, Old Fourth, let's go."

"Hey! Don't be in such a hurry to leave, why don't we exchange contact information?"

The girl quickly stood up, trying to stop Shen Qian.

"I have a Girlfriend, and I currently don't want to add anyone else's contact information."

The refusal was very blunt, which made Gao Haitao a bit dumbfounded. Shen Qian refused, and he refused such a beautiful girl! This didn't fit his persona! Wasn't he a big scumbag?

"What about you? Do you have a Girlfriend?"

The girl asked Gao Haitao with a smile.

"I'm single."

So, the two naturally exchanged contact information.

"Then I'll be going now, bye-bye~"

Watching the girl's retreating figure, Shen Qian maintained his indifferent expression.

Gao Haitao couldn't help but nudge Shen Qian.

"Third Brother, this isn't like you. Have you gone from scumbag to loyal?"

Shen Qian looked at Gao Haitao.

"No, I'm still a scumbag. It's just that I don't feel like being a scumbag for a while; I'm resting, taking a break."

"Only you could do it, rejecting someone of that caliber."

"Can't you have some ambition? Was going to the Commercial KTV for nothing? Improve yourself first, don't just add random filters to others. What's wrong with being pretty? There are plenty of pretty girls in this world, and new ones appear every year."

"That's true, but how could such a beautiful girl ever be interested in..."

"You've wasted so much time following me, yet you're still so self-deprecating. I'm fining you 800 yuan!"

"Third Brother, I only have a little over 900 yuan left for living expenses."

"Alright, alright, just do as you please."

The two left the cafeteria, chatting and laughing.

On the other side, Song Mengyuan clicked on Gao Haitao's moments, pouting. His moments were quite uninteresting, but a few posts caught her eye: collective activities with his dorm, where Shen Qian's figure always appeared.

"It's him, it's definitely him. No matter how I look at it, it seems like him."

The girl saved the picture, then cropped out Shen Qian's part and set it as her phone wallpaper.

A few days later, a post appeared on the school's confession wall.

"Denouncing a scumbag: a certain Shen from the first year Human Resources Management Class Two. If you're going to be in a relationship, be proper about it, instead of being fickle like you, eating from your bowl while looking into the pot. You already have a partner, yet you're dating others. You're simply the scum of men! It's because of men like you that relationships are getting harder to maintain."

In the library's collection room, Xie Wan lay in Shen Qian's arms, looking at the post and laughing.

"Big scumbag, who did you hook up with again? It got exposed."

"How do you know it's me? It didn't mention any names."

"Don't I know you boys? Who would post on the confession wall for no reason? This post is clearly made out of anger, so that girl must be really pretty."

Shen Qian gently kissed her forehead.

"You're still prettier."

"You just know how to sweet-talk me. So what are you going to do about this?"

"Nothing."

"Aren't you worried? This might be your woman fishing behind your back."

Shen Qian smiled.

"You said it yourself, 'behind my back.' Now that this guy has brought it up, someone else will handle it, not me."
