Chapter 58 - Fifty-Eight Your Strength is Here

Whenever Zhou Yuwen’s name came up, Shen Yu couldn’t help but smile at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly composed herself, looking very seriously at the incredulous Su Qing across from her, "I know you like Zhou Yuwen too, so let’s compete fairly, Su Qing. No matter who Zhou Yuwen chooses, let’s accept it gracefully, okay?"

"Compete fairly?"

What makes you think you’re qualified to compete with me on even terms?

I am after all...

Su Qing didn’t finish her sentence, but her expression was one of disdain. She found Shen Yu’s statement laughable. You didn’t choose Zhou Yuwen in your previous life, and this life you’ve only sung a song with him, and now you want to compete with me?

Shen Yu, clearly unaware of Su Qing’s thoughts, was very sincere. She knew that Su Qing was outstanding, but it was precisely because of that that Shen Yu’s competitive spirit was aroused.

I never vied with you for the position of class leader.

But when it comes to the man I like, I won’t lose!

Shen Yu’s face was resolute and she even reached out her hand in hopes of shaking hands with Su Qing.

However, Su Qing just looked at Shen Yu for a long time, and eventually shook her head with a calm and contemptuous attitude, "You’re not worthy to compete with me. Zhou Yuwen won’t choose you."

After saying that, Su Qing walked past Shen Yu without turning back.

"?" Shen Yu was taken aback; it was the first time someone had looked down on her like this.

"Then let’s try and see!" Shen Yu’s competitive spirit was ignited, speaking to Su Qing’s back.

Su Qing didn’t pay any attention to Shen Yu at all, returning to her seat to play with her phone. She had not even considered Shen Yu a contender. Zhou Yuwen had made it clear to her, he did not plan to date in college and wished to focus more on his career.

So what was there for her to worry about?

If Zhou Yuwen really wanted to date, why wouldn’t he choose her instead of Shen Yu?

Please, her and Zhou Yuwen were clearly a match made in heaven.

So even though Shen Yu had made her feelings clear, Su Qing didn’t take it to heart and still picked up her phone to message Zhou Yuwen, "Have you reached your dorm yet?"

"Yeah, just arrived."

"Did you really not think of dating in college?"

"If I really wanted to date, you would be my first consideration."

Zhou Yuwen replied just like that, making Su Qing feel as if her heart was coated with honey, and she sent a "Hmph" emoji.

"Even if you wanted to date me, I might not agree to it!"

"Oh, is that so? I’m heartbroken."

After a few exchanges, Su Qing was already beaming with joy. She hadn’t felt this sensation of being in love for a long time; it was akin to being back in college.

No, she was in college right now.

It seemed that this ambiguous feeling was quite enjoyable.

When Shen Yu came out of the bathroom, she saw Su Qing smiling as she played with her phone, knowing she was chatting with Zhou Yuwen, and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness.

Was she really no match for Su Qing?

Due to the discord between Shen Yu and Su Qing, the atmosphere in the girls’ dormitory was a bit awkward at the moment; everyone was mostly keeping to themselves and the place was no longer as lively as before.

Of course, Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin were still huddled together, playing with their phones and chatting. Zheng Yanyan would occasionally cover her mouth and giggle, while Lu Lin gave her an annoyed glance.

Then Li Qiang sent a message, and Zheng Yanyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud at it, attracting the attention of Shen Yu and Su Qing with her loud laughter.

Covering her mouth and giggling, Zheng Yanyan said, "Hey, let me tell you, I never noticed before, but this Li Qiang is really a master of golden phrases, huh?"

Shen Yu and Su Qing looked curious.

So Zheng Yanyan recounted the message Li Qiang sent to Lu Lin.

It turned out that Lu Lin’s personal signature was: "A woman who strives for strength her whole life."

This signature was something Lu Lin changed in high school, and it really matched her image of smoking.

Thus, Li Qiang copied this personal signature and sent it to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin, feeling puzzled, sent a: "?"

Next, Li Qiang replied: "Your strong has arrived."

"Hahaha! Zheng Yanyan couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Lu Lin asked with a speechless tone, "Is this necessary?"

"How could it not be? Your strong has arrived," said Zheng Yanyan.

"Get lost," said Lu Lin.

Lu Lin regretted her teenage years of being so sophomore and figured she’d be the butt of Zheng Yanyan’s jokes for a lifetime. First, she deleted her personal signature, then she just ignored Li Qiang completely.

After sending that message, Li Qiang waited for a long time without a reply, and couldn’t help feeling anxious, "No, Brother Hao, why isn’t Lu Lin responding to me? Didn’t you say she would be touched?"

"This, I don’t know either, maybe she’s just busy? Why don’t you wait a while?" Chang Hao also found it strange because he felt Lu Lin should have been quite touched.

According to Chang Hao’s analysis, Lu Lin should be the type of girl who’s tough on the outside but fragile on the inside.

If she weren’t fragile inside, why would she smoke?

And look at her Moments, and her personal signature, what does "A woman who strives for strength her whole life" mean?

My God, strong man, this woman is totally your destined love! Your name is Li Qiang, right? She’s about striving for a whole lifetime!

Your strong has arrived!

Who wouldn’t be moved by this?

Li Qiang actually agreed wholeheartedly, but after he sent it out, she just ignored him.

"Don’t panic, maybe she didn’t understand your meaning? You can explain it to her, saying that her desire to be strong her whole life shows she lacks support, and your sentence was to say ’from now on, I’ll be there to protect you’! Why not explain it to her?"

"Oh, okay!"

So Li Qiang hurriedly explained in a flurry.

Inside the boys’ dormitory, Li Qiang and Chang Hao were brainstorming, while over at the girls’ dormitory, Zheng Yanyan was pestering Lu Lin to see the chat history. Lu Lin felt she’d die of social embarrassment if Zheng Yanyan saw the chat history again and refused to let her see it, telling her to chat herself if she wanted to.

After finishing that, she climbed onto her own bed.

Zheng Yanyan still acted coquettishly, standing on the ladder to Lu Lin’s bed with her long legs: "Come on, let me have another look!"

Eventually, when Lu Lin completely ignored her, she gave up. Seeing that Shen Yu and Su Qing were both silently playing with their phones in their seats, she jokingly asked, "You two aren’t both chatting with Zhou Yuwen, are you?"

Su Qing and Shen Yu ignored her.

"How boring," Zheng Yanyan said with a pout, and then she muttered, "I really don’t know what’s so great about Zhou Yuwen that you’re so obsessed over him."

"I’ve always looked down upon girls who fight out of jealousy over a man," she declared.

After saying that, Zheng Yanyan also climbed into her bed, picked up her phone, and saw that Chang Hao had sent her many messages. She couldn’t help but chuckle and shouted to the neighboring bed, "Hey, Lu Lin, why do all these boys have the same way of chatting? They always start with a ’Are you there?’

Right then, Shen Yu, who had just typed ’Are you there?’ in the chat window below, silently deleted those two words...
