**Chapter 6: The Freshman Welcome Party**
The next day.
Luoye woke up in his dorm bed, his eyes barely open, looking around like a dead fish.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Three question marks.
"You're awake."
Shenqiao, who was playing games, said.
He was the only one in the dorm awake. The other two were still sleeping.
Fortunately, there were no morning classes today, otherwise they would have missed their first class of the semester.
Alcohol really caused trouble.
"Shenqiao."
Luoye said admiringly, "I underestimated you southerners. I didn't expect you to be the hidden master."
"Being a good drinker isn't always a good thing." Shenqiao said quietly.
"No, in our Jingcheng, being able to drink makes you a master."
Luoye praised. He was about to get out of bed when he noticed a white jacket among the pile of clothes on his bed—a jacket that didn't belong to him.
Hmm? Where did this come from?
Luoye picked up the jacket and examined it carefully.
A faint fragrance emanated from it—a fresh strawberry milk scent.
A girl's jacket?
Luoye seemed to remember something, but also seemed to remember nothing.
He recalled that something had happened last night, but he couldn't remember what.
"When you got back to the dorm last night, I noticed you were gone. Not long after, you came back wearing this extra jacket. You were smiling goofily."
"Oh, and you were talking in your sleep. Mumbling something about a 'fairy senior.' Almost scared me to death."
Listening to Shenqiao's explanation.
Luoye suddenly understood.
So last night hadn't been a dream!
Then...
Luoye was overjoyed.
The jacket in his hands—had the fairy senior given it to him?
Excited. Happy. Surprised. Honored.
Luoye didn't know what words to use to describe how he felt. He held the white jacket as if it were a precious treasure.
Seeing him like this, Shenqiao looked unimpressed.
Heh. Still young.
"Luoye, judging by your reaction, you've never been in a relationship, have you?"
"How did you know?"
"Obvious at a glance."
"How about it? Want big brother to teach you a few tricks?"
Hearing that, Luoye got dressed, jumped up, and sat on a stool, looking at Shenqiao with eager eyes.
"Please teach me, Teacher Shen."
"Very teachable."
Shenqiao nodded approvingly. "But wait until I finish this game."
"How much longer?"
"I just started."
...
Half an hour later, Shenqiao put on an air of profound wisdom.
"Luoye, let me teach you how to pursue a girl."
"First, learn more about her."
"Getting to know someone is the main process. Only by knowing someone will you know whether you're compatible. If you don't understand her when you start dating, you'll regret it later. Understand her temperament, her personality, what she likes to do, etc. Then you'll confidently find common topics. It's also a process of matching yourself with her. The final result will show whether you two are compatible."
With that, Shenqiao glanced at his phone and continued.
"Second, be willing to spend money and effort."
"In today's world, it's impossible to get something for nothing. Girls these days are raised well. They're financially independent. Many of them don't lack money. But as a man, when pursuing a girl, you should be generous. Buy her things she likes, or snacks she enjoys. That's necessary."
Luoye nodded repeatedly, clearly convinced.
Shenqiao suppressed a smile, looked down at his phone again, and continued.
"Wait."
Luoye interrupted him. "Why do you keep looking at your phone?"
"Because..."
"Because you're looking it up on Baidu?"
Clever as he was, Luoye immediately saw that this guy was up to no good.
Sure enough, when Luoye searched "how to pursue a girl" on his own phone, the results were exactly what Shenqiao had just said.
"Ahem. You caught me."
Luoye stared at Shenqiao with a scrutinizing gaze, making him uncomfortable.
"Luoye! Let me show you something funny."
Shenqiao decisively changed the subject and shared the video he had recorded yesterday.
Seeing Wangdachui, drunk and shouting "Dad," Luoye couldn't help laughing.
But he had to admit, though Shenqiao looked decent on the surface, he was actually quite mischievous.
Good-looking people always had some flaws.
Luoye's mind began to picture the fairy senior.
The fairy senior was an exception.
It wasn't until noon that Lihaoyang and Wangdachui finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wangdachui shouted, "What time is it?!"
The sudden noise startled Lihaoyang. "Why are you shouting? You scared me."
"What do you know? The freshman welcome party is at 6:30 tonight."
"There'll be lots of sophomore and junior girls performing. I heard Senior Qinyuwen dances really well. I'm going to watch my goddess Qin dance."
With that, Wangdachui checked the time and saw it was only noon.
"Tch. Still early. Going back to sleep."
Luoye was speechless. "Hammer Bro, you might not know this, but we have a class this afternoon."
"So what?"
"Ethics class. The department head teaches it. He said missing three classes is an automatic fail."
Hearing that, Wangdachui shot up and put on his clothes as fast as he could.
"Actually, I love going to class. Especially Ethics class. Let's go eat, then go to class."
Luoye: "...6."
Shenqiao: "...Indeed 6."
Lihaoyang: snoring...
That guy had fallen asleep again.
Ethics class was incredibly boring, yet Shenqiao stared at the podium with a serious expression.
"Male celebrity, can you really focus?" Wangdachui asked curiously.
Shenqiao didn't respond.
"Male celebrity?"
"Huh? Did you call me? What did you say? I was spacing out."
Wangdachui: ...
As dusk fell, Wangdachui dragged Luoye to the freshman welcome party.
As for the other two, Shenqiao was afraid of being surrounded by girls, so he didn't dare come.
And Lihaoyang said he had something to do—who knew what.
Only Luoye, who had nothing better to do, was dragged along by Wangdachui.
"Hammer Bro, is the welcome party really that fun? I haven't read much, don't fool me."
"Wild kid, would your Hammer Bro lie to you? Don't worry, the welcome party will definitely have something that interests you."
...
Luoye sat in the audience with a blank expression.
"This is what you said would interest me?"
Watching several seniors perform a very boring sketch on stage, Luoye was suffering.
Why not just lie in the dorm?
Wangdachui also hadn't expected the welcome party to be this boring.
His goddess Qinyuwen apparently hadn't even signed up to perform.
"Well, we're already here. There's one last performance, and then it'll be over. Might as well watch it."
