The subway station has a dedicated Finance University Station and Jiangdu University Station.

However, these two stations are not on the same subway line. Finance University Station is on Line 1, while Jiangdu University Station is on Line 3.

Xu Lin transferred to Line 1 after taking Line 3.

Then he rode the subway for another half hour, totaling just over an hour.

Finally, he arrived at Jiangdu University Station.

The distance between Finance University and Jiangdu University is quite far.

After exiting the subway station, walk more than two hundred meters to reach the east gate of Jiangdu University.

Xu Lin exited the station and looked west, seeing the buildings of Jiangdu University.

Firstly, there's the nationally renowned library, very grand and impressive, giving off a sacred feeling of the passage of time from a distance.

"A lot of people inside are probably brilliant dragons and phoenixes among humans!"

Although Xu Lin is not very good at studying, he doesn't think that having high academic qualifications is inherently bad, such as when people say that no matter how much you study, you still become ordinary workers.

Xu Lin doesn't think like that.

You need to know that even ordinary workers have different levels.

The current impressive younger generation, without exception, are all highly educated, and the future trend will be this way too. Highly educated people are becoming more prominent in various fields, like aerospace personnel are increasingly younger.

"I wonder what Yanyan's future will be like?"

As Xu Lin walked towards the east gate of Jiangdu University, he couldn't help but ponder this question.

As long as Yu Jianhua doesn't make any mistakes, and the senior leaders above don't fail, he is destined to rise steadily in power, but it's hard to predict where he'll end up in the future, as he is still in his prime.

In this land, officials are always the most powerful, followed by scholars, merchants, and farmers. No matter how big merchants get, they still rank second.

Yu Xinyan has entered one of the best colleges at Jiangdu University, and her future is also remarkably promising.

The future belonging to Yu Xinyan is excessively radiant.

"Xu Lin, have you arrived?"

Yu Xinyan sent a message.

The sun has already set, and the red glow at the horizon has faded, with the sky quickly darkening.

Xu Lin: "I'm about to arrive, come out!"

Yu Xinyan: "I'm at the school's east gate!"

Yu Xinyan: "Also, my three roommates are here!"

Xu Lin: "Seems like you have a good relationship with your roommates!"

Yu Xinyan: "I'm very obedient!"

Yu Xinyan has mentioned Xu Lin to Gu Qing and the other three quite often, so Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu are very curious about Xu Lin and want to see just how outstanding this guy is.

As for Gu Qing, her interest in Xu Lin is not very high.

In fact, her lack of interest extends beyond Xu Lin to many things in this world.

However, since Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu both want to meet Xu Lin, Gu Qing joins them as well.

Soon, Xu Lin meets Yu Xinyan and the four girls.

Xu Lin had his hair cut yesterday, now sporting a fresh hairstyle.

It's similar to Daniel Wu's style from "Capital City Music and Road."

Xu Lin has sharp eyebrows and eyes, with facial features leaning towards a masculine and fierce look. He's clean and fair, and exudes none of that effeminate aura.

When Xu Lin was a child, he had a period where he was quiet. His dad, Xu Cheng, worried he'd become a silent child, so he would take him out every day to explore.

In the Xu Family, boys are expected to be lively and masculine. Xu Cheng even said men must have manliness; being cooped up at home all day is unacceptable.

"Xu Lin!"

Yu Xinyan saw Xu Lin, exclaimed in surprise, her charming face glowing with a happy smile, and ran over holding her backpack.

She hadn't seen Xu Lin for a long time.

"Yanyan's boyfriend is so handsome!"

"Yes, and he really has a manly aura!"

It was Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu speaking. Both were quite surprised to see Xu Lin's actual appearance.

Actually, there are many handsome men at Jiangdu University.

Don't assume that students at prestigious universities aren't good-looking, especially when people think male academic achievers are bookworm students with buzz cuts and glasses, and unkempt beards. That's stereotypical thinking.

There are many good-looking people who are also quite excellent.

Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu found Xu Lin very handsome and particularly manly.

This made him more unique than the handsome guys they've seen at Jiangdu University.

At least for now, this is the case.

Gu Qing, however, didn't speak; she just observed Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan.

Normally, since they are a couple who haven't seen each other for more than half a month, you'd expect them to fall into each other's arms upon meeting, but Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan weren't.

Yu Xinyan was just standing in front of Xu Lin; although they were less than a meter apart and seemed familiar, there wasn't the close intimacy typical of couples.

Gu Qing immediately came to a conclusion.

They aren't a couple at all!

How could couples be like this?

Gu Qing enjoys observing various phenomena around the world, experiencing the myriad of realities, and has sharp intuition with judgments never wrong.

As an extremely rational person, Gu Qing believes her judgment is accurate.

"Yu Xinyan lied. Either they haven't become a couple yet and are just close to it, or Yu Xinyan is self-delusional."

Gu Qing pondered this internally but didn't voice it.

On the other side.

"Xu Lin, look! I bought you gaming headphones!"

Yu Xinyan opened her backpack and pulled out a box.

Xu Lin took a glance, surprised to see it was the Razer Barracuda.

He wanted these headphones before the college entrance examination but couldn't afford them at the time.

These gaming headphones are priced at around five thousand, quite expensive.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xinyan bought them for him.

"Oh babe, you treat me the best!"

"Hmph, of course!"

Yanyan looked quite pleased with herself.

"Xu Lin, you're still as pale as before military training!"

"Didn't I send you a selfie?"

"A photo is just a photo, I want to see the real person!"

Yanyan hugged her backpack, holding Xu Lin's earphones first.

"Are these three your roommates?"

At this moment, Xu Lin's gaze fell on Gu Qing and the other two.

Gu Qing and the others came over.

Yanyan introduced them to Xu Lin: "Xu Lin, these are my roommates, this is Gu Qing, Li Weiyan, and Yan Caiyu!"

"Hello, Xu Lin, I'm Li Weiyan!"

Li Weiyan was the first to greet Xu Lin, giving him a rather lively and outgoing impression.

Yan Caiyu, a bit more reserved, said, "Hello, Xu Lin, I'm Yan Caiyu!"

Gu Qing said lightly, "Gu Qing."

Xu Lin introduced himself, "Xu Lin, Lin as in Linjiang Xian!"

He glanced at the three girls, noticing that Yanyan's dorm had a high overall attractiveness.

Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu were little beauties, both quite promising.

While Gu Qing was right behind Yanyan in terms of looks.

Is this considered a goddess dormitory?

Li Weiyan laughed, "We often hear Yanyan mention you in the dorm, and now that I see you in person, didn't expect you to be such a handsome guy!"

Actually, during the summer camp, Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu had already met Yanyan. When Yanyan came back, Xu Lin asked if she had made any friends, and Yanyan said she added two girls, which were Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu.

When the new semester started, the four-person dormitory included Gu Qing.

Xu Lin wasn't modest at all and asked Li Weiyan, "Am I really handsome?"

"Handsome, uniquely handsome!"

Li Weiyan praised him without reservation.

Xu Lin also said, "Li Weiyan, you're also very pretty, the most beautiful girl I've seen wearing glasses!"

What Xu Lin said was true.

"Haha, if you keep praising me, I'll get cocky!"

Li Weiyan laughed happily.

Yan Caiyu looked at Xu Lin and said, "We heard Yanyan mention you during the summer camp, and now we finally meet her boyfriend!"

"Actually, during the summer, I also heard Yanyan mention you guys, and finally meeting you in person now!"

Xu Lin glanced at Yanyan.

Yanyan didn't dare to look at him, just holding her backpack and looking around, at a loss.

Xu Lin knew this girl was definitely lying, but he didn't expose her. Talking to Li Weiyan and the others was also cooperating with Yanyan to maintain good dorm relationships.

Yanyan had never made friends before.

As for some people saying not to bother dealing with any roommate relationship problems.

What a joke, this is a university dormitory.

And this is Jiangdu University, not some meaningless relationship.

These girls might be involved in formulating national policies in the future.

Don't listen to some toxic chicken soup, they're just misleading, catering to people's agreement; those without independent thinking are easily influenced, and most people just don't have basic logical thinking skills.

Like a typical saying, if you go north, you'll earn a high salary. How could you earn so much with just a certain level of education?

For dorm relationships, make friends when you should, maintain a simple and distant friendship, why overthink it?

Yan Caiyu said at this moment, "Anyway, nice to meet you, Xu Lin!"

"Nice to meet you too!"

Xu Lin asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Li Weiyan said, "Nope!"

Yan Caiyu: "We've been waiting for you, Yanyan said we'd eat together when you arrive!"

Xu Lin: "I haven't had dinner either, so let's eat together, it's on me!"

"Really?"

Li Weiyan was quite excited.

Xu Lin called everyone, "Let's go, lovely ladies!"

Li Weiyan excitedly said, "Oh yeah!"

She grabbed Yan Caiyu with one hand and Gu Qing with the other.

And Gu Qing?

Xu Lin noticed this girl was quite aloof, not saying anything besides her name earlier.

Xu Lin wouldn't bother with someone so indifferent.

No need to pay attention.

"Xu Lin, what are we going to eat?"

Yanyan hugged her backpack, looking at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin opened his phone to search for nearby restaurants with good reviews.

The restaurants marked in the app were mostly budget-friendly; upscale ones usually don't appear on the app.

This is Jiangdu, if you have money, tens of thousands for a meal is nothing, a bottle of wine costs tens of thousands, a hotel room costs tens of thousands a night; such extravagance is ordinary in the upper world.

As night fell, Xu Lin found a nearby Zhejiang cuisine restaurant with the average cost per person being over ninety—still seemed budget-friendly.

He wouldn't insist on spending a lot on a meal; that's not his style, only posers do that.

A few hundred is quite enough.

He couldn't tell what kind of person Gu Qing was yet, but Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu seemed pretty nice, simple and straightforward without any hidden agendas.

Yanyan should be doing well in this dorm!
