Chapter 568 - 214: Big Sister 3 Still Doesn’t Have a Boyfriend, and It’s All the Boss’s Fault!
Christmas Eve, around evening.
Male dormitory 302.
Su Zelin had taken an early shower and was styling his hair with mousse.
He had to perform at tonight’s School of Economics and Management Christmas party.
There was no way around it, he was a regular at all the faculty events, always getting invited, and since the president of the department’s cultural arts club was Tao Min, he had to give some face. It was also a chance for Financial Management Class One to gain face, so unless something very special came up, Su Zelin wouldn’t refuse.
"Brothers, no need to wait up for me tonight!"
Every Christmas Eve, Zeng Kaiping spoke with the most confidence, and tonight he also had a date. After watching the cultural event, he planned to go out.
Everyone knew that a lively guy like him wouldn’t lack for plans on a night like this, but they still had to listen to him brag a bit.
"Ah Ping, got a new date already? Impressive!"
"So envious. When can I ever be as suave as you?"
"You truly are the dashing one, that’s for sure!"
"..."
The group flattered him insincerely a few times, but in truth, they didn’t feel any envy or jealousy.
Because they all knew what kind of person his dates usually were.
They wouldn’t weigh under 130 pounds, or they’d lose the bet!
Everyone secretly thought.
Zeng Kaiping was full of himself, feeling it was his moment of glory, with a strong sense of presence.
"Me, me too, no need to wait up for me either!"
After Zeng Kaiping, another person spoke up a little bashfully.
Everyone’s eyes turned to him in unison, their faces filled with surprise.
It was actually Cai Wensheng!
"Actually" might not be the most fitting word here.
The youngest was the first in dormitory 302 to have a girlfriend; he and Popcorn had been inseparable since freshman year.
Yet until junior year, Cai Wensheng still returned to the dorm every night, so over time the others started to see his relationship with Popcorn as child’s play.
Even Lao Liu, who used to play pretend, was finally taking the next step?
After a brief moment of strangeness, the group gradually came to their senses.
"Wow, Ah Sheng, nice! You’ve finally awakened, about to change from boy to man?"
Zeng Kaiping patted Cai Wensheng on the shoulder, his tone distinctly that of a close comrade and fellow traveler.
"Ah Ping bro, it’s not like what you’re thinking. I just want to cuddle with Popcorn, talk about life and whatnot!"
Cai Wensheng said shyly.
"Come on, Ah Sheng, I’ve used that excuse more than five times, it always ends up with just ’no funny business’!"
Zeng Kaiping scoffed.
"How can you lay on the same bed with a girl and not move forward, Ah Sheng, let me tell you, when that moment comes, your brain will mysteriously lose command over your body, and instincts will take over, you won’t be in control!"
Su Zelin, who was doing his hair, felt a skip in his heart.
He deeply agreed with what the lively guy just said.
Such irresistible moments had happened more than once while he was teaching Nanaz to drive.
It better not happen again tonight, right?
Hopefully, Ah Ping’s words wouldn’t become prophecy!
Su Zelin took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
No worries, I’ve been prepared for this Christmas Eve for a long time. I even went to deliver a few private stocks to Song Yuwei yesterday night, and my warehouse is almost empty now.
As everyone knows, to stage a coup, having adequate supplies is key.
Without enough supplies, Xiaolin couldn’t succeed in taking power!
With that thought, the mischievous one felt a bit at ease.
"Third brother, what about you?"
Zeng Kaiping asked.
"Depends on the situation, probably will come back."
Su Zelin answered casually.
"Oh!"
The lively guy wasn’t surprised by his answer.
On days like this, the reason Su Zelin would be back in the dorm wouldn’t be due to a lack of dates, but rather because there were too many, so he simply decided not to go to any, keeping it fair for all.
By this time, the mischievous one had finished his hairstyle, took the mid-length duck down jacket from his bed, gave it a sharp flick in the air, letting it unfurl like a cloud.
Su Zelin swiftly extended his arms, quickly threading them through both sleeves with precision.
In less than three seconds, he had put on the coat completely.
Too stylish!
Zeng Kaiping looked on enviously.
This is a must-have skill for the dashing one!
The mischievous one had practiced this maneuver for a long time, but could never quite emulate it.
With the jacket on, Su Zelin left.
As soon as he was out the door, Zeng Kaiping grabbed his similarly styled long coat, gave it a flick in the air, but the down jacket didn’t unfurl, staying crumpled, and his hands didn’t manage to slip through both sleeves at once.
The lively guy had once consulted the first-generation dashing one for the trick behind it.
As the mischievous one claimed, the key was in the flicking; you had to hold the collar and use wrist strength to flick, and also necessary to swing it widely, using arm strength wouldn’t work, as the jacket would be too far from the body at the moment of release, making the subsequent actions fall short.
However, while the logic seemed simple, it was challenging to execute.
The down jacket was heavy, especially the mid-length version, it was incredibly difficult to flick open using just wrist strength.
The mischievous one had spent years twirling pens to acquire such basic skills.
The phrase "a minute on stage, ten years off" truly reflects this.
Zeng Kaiping didn’t give up, flicking several more times, failing each one. Accidentally, a box of Okamoto fell out from the down jacket’s pocket, falling under the bed. The lively guy used a clothes hanger stick to retrieve it, sheepishly ceasing his fruitless attempts.
Meanwhile, across in the girls’ dormitory 501, gloominess filled the air.
"Even Popcorn and Cai Wensheng are not coming back tonight, why are we still without boyfriends?"
