Chapter 270: Chapter 118: Qin Shiqing, What Is Your Ideal Type of Guy Like? (2)

So, it’s no wonder that this school produces so many talents. You can hardly find a few couples in the whole school; the study atmosphere is overwhelmingly strong. The boys, having nothing else to do after eating, either hang out in the library or attend self-study sessions.

For a time, those long-held complaints among the boys erupted all at once, though some boasted instead.

"The Shenghai Foreign Languages Department is alright; among the six boys in our class, only a quarter are single."

The tone of one boy reeked of pretentiousness, making other boys green with envy.

"Zhang Chao, doesn’t that mean it should be easy for you to find a girlfriend?"

Zhao Mingxuan timely steered the conversation closer to the topic he wanted to discuss.

"It’s pretty easy, but I’m not in a rush; I can take my time to choose."

The boy chuckled wryly, skillfully hiding his achievements and fame.

This expression made other boys want to punch him.

Zhao Mingxuan thought to himself, this is low-level showing off, too simple and crude, easily arousing resentment.

I’m much better at this.

Thinking this, Zhao Mingxuan deliberately said: "Indeed, Zhang Chao, with your good grades, handsome appearance, and studying at a school with such a high ratio of girls, you have a natural advantage. I bet you can find a goddess."

Class reunions are meant for showing off. That boy, praised this way, immediately felt proud and returned the favor.

"Thanks for the compliment. Given how excellent you are, class monitor, I’m sure plenty of girls liked you in college. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhao Mingxuan had been waiting for this question. He thought to himself that this kid is quite sensible; my compliments weren’t wasted after all.

"Ah, well..."

He feigned embarrassment, hesitating and stalling.

Everyone’s curiosity was piqued.

The class’s gossip queen, Dong Ying, was instantly triggered, like she’d been injected with adrenaline.

"Wow, so the class monitor really has a girlfriend. Is she from the Political and Law University too?"

"Weren’t we talking about gender ratios? How did this end up on me?"

Zhao Mingxuan used the strategy of retreating to advance.

"Well, since we’re on the topic of gender ratios, boyfriends and girlfriends are also a topic, right? Everyone agrees, don’t you?"

The little gossip was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"That’s right, class monitor, tell us a little!"

The others, eager for gossip, chimed in.

"Alright, I do have a girlfriend, and she’s indeed from our school."

"Where’s she from? She must be pretty, right?"

The little gossip had transformed into a paparazzi reporter, almost shoving a mic in Zhao Mingxuan’s face.

Back when Zhao Mingxuan liked Qin Shiqing for so long, even after going to college and being miles apart, she originally thought Zhao Mingxuan wouldn’t give up so quickly. Who knew that within just one semester, he had a girlfriend; the little gossip was particularly curious.

"Alright, she’s a local from Beijing and looks decent!"

Zhao Mingxuan scratched his head, chuckling happily.

The whole class was instantly abuzz.

"Still, a local from Beijing, she must be a big shot, right?"

"Impressive, coming from such a small place yet being able to win over a girl from the capital—might save you decades of hard work!"

"The class monitor is set to soar high. Count us in!"

"..."

Zhao Mingxuan was gleeful.

This was the main purpose of him organizing the class reunion.

If you don’t show off at a class reunion, how are you any different from a salted fish?

His girlfriend’s looks and figure certainly can’t compare to Qin Shiqing’s, but the fact that she was a well-bred lady from the capital, with family backing, was enough to overshadow the simple charming Qin Shiqing.

The class monitor’s display was quite smooth, steering the topic casually from gender ratios to girlfriends, piquing others’ interest without coming off as overtly pretentious.

The whole class didn’t notice the scheming boy’s intentional boasting, thinking he’d reluctantly revealed this information.

However, as soon as the freeloader entered, he noticed Zhao Mingxuan’s intention.

This is the kind of insight from super geniuses like Yan Qiuwen and Su Zelin.

In chess, when you make the first move, they can predict your next possible several moves.

In social settings, when you say something, they can anticipate what you’ll say next, and why you said it.

But even possessing the same ability, these two geniuses had vastly different attitudes towards social interactions.

Yan Qiuwen finds it boring to associate with people not on her intellectual level, and she’s sparing with her words.

Su Zelin, on the other hand, became a social butterfly, enjoying the grasp of others’ thoughts.

However, the only person the slacker couldn’t manage was Qin Shiqing.

Or rather, he subconsciously avoids wanting to manipulate his childhood friend.

"Class monitor, do you have a photo of your girlfriend? Let us see what a lady from Beijing is like!"

The little gossip was as excited as paparazzi finding a scoop on Teacher Chen’s latest work.

"Dong Ying, today’s reunion is about us, not her!"

Zhao Mingxuan again used the strategy of retreating to advance.

"Class monitor, that’s not right. We’re only concerned about your love life!"

The little gossip persisted confidently: "Doesn’t everyone want to see a picture of the class monitor’s girlfriend?"

"Yes!"

Youths love buzz and wouldn’t miss out on juicy gossip.

The little gossip said to Zhao Mingxuan: "You see, this is what everyone wants. As class monitor, you should fulfill everyone’s wishes!"

"Well, alright then!"

Zhao Mingxuan seemed helpless on the surface, but discreetly gave a thumbs-up to the little gossip.

He pulled out his wallet and took out a laminated photo from it.

The little gossip couldn’t wait and snatched it up to have a look.

"Wow, she’s so beautiful and classy, just like a celebrity. No wonder she’s a girl from the capital!"

This photo was of an artistic shot of Zhao Mingxuan’s girlfriend. In reality, she wasn’t that pretty. The photographer’s skill deserves a credit, and the aura of being a lady from the capital unconsciously elevated her image in everyone’s mind.
