CHAPTER 560: 380.

Zhou Sinin and Song Wan finished shopping and returned to the dormitory, finding the other two roommates had also gradually arrived in Jiang City.

Upon hearing the news that the little princess was going to move out, everyone couldn’t hide their surprise.

After all, in this day and age, it’s rare for such a new freshman to opt for off-campus housing.

Moreover, Zhou Sinin wasn’t moving out due to any other objective reasons; the dormitory relationships were very harmonious, and she was quite close with her roommates.

"Ning Bao, are you really moving out?"

"Why... we can’t bear to see you go!"

"Without you, who knows how much deliciousness we’ll miss out on..."

"Jiang Fengting, watch your words a bit, hahaha~"

Song Wan interrupted while organizing the closet, giggling and simultaneously grabbing a bag of fruit on the table to share with everyone.

Indeed.

During Zhou Sinin’s time, the dorm was always stocked with endless supplies, from exotic imported snacks to premium tropical fruits.

She loved sharing and enjoyed doing so, which naturally fostered a supportive, loving atmosphere in the dormitory.

"Ning Bao, remember to come back home often to see us when you have time; we’ll all miss you."

Jiang Fengting stuck out her tongue and switched her tone with a grin.

"Hey, is Ning Ning going to live with her boyfriend?"

Roommate Kong Pingping, usually the quietest, expressed her concern now.

"Yeah, that guy bought an apartment just to hide her away like a treasure; he practically spoils her rotten..."

Song Wan leaned over to Kong Pingping’s ear, speaking in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

Despite hearing about Lu Jincheng’s wealth, the others in the dorm were still shocked by this exceptional treatment.

"Uh... I’ll say something disappointing, Ning Bao, aren’t you worried about... that if you’re living together so soon?"

Kong Pingping’s upbringing was relatively conservative, immediately thinking of this issue.

"That what?"

"Well, you know what! Does it need spelling out?"

Both sister-like figures acted as if they didn’t understand, teasing each other with sly looks.

"Well... those without boyfriends might not get it; probably Wanwan understands better."

Zhou Sinin tidied her bangs, smiled gently, and spread her hands.

"When it comes naturally, it’s like the blossoms blooming in spring; as long as both enjoy it, it’s fine."

"But..."

Kong Pingping started but stopped.

Speaking on the topic of virginity, during a class discussion about women’s issues, a classmate named Lin Shanshan passionately talked about the importance of education for women. In her arguments, she mentioned that lack of timely sex education left many girls unaware of the importance of chastity, leading them not to protect their first time... Due to lack of education, women couldn’t elevate to the upper middle class, which could lead them to meet many undesirable friends, with relatively more partners, sexual chaos, diverse and risky sexual behavior...

These opinions were packaged in professional language, convincing everyone to nod along.

Song Wan seemed to disagree with these perspectives, and upon finishing, she protested: "I feel like there’s a problem with what you’re saying; you can’t say the more partners one has, the more chaotic it is, and just because you have more relationships doesn’t necessarily mean it’s dangerous."

"Oh? How could it not be chaotic if it’s dangerous? A woman sleeping with many different men, isn’t that chaotic?"

Lin Shanshan responded immediately; she always liked to stand out in class, and she was the first female classmate others remembered because her name amusingly lacked wood in the five elements. You Yun only came to Lu Jincheng’s attention after a month since school started.

"I think you should first clearly define what sexual chaos is."

"It’s your topic, why should I be the one defining it?"

The debate quickly turned contentious, with Lin Shanshan pretending to discuss the topic respectfully but essentially rambling nonsensically, while You Yun lacked experience and couldn’t make the point clear. Lu Jincheng shook his head repeatedly; it wasn’t about looking down on women, but he felt they often got caught up in details when there were obvious flaws in Lin’s comments that needed addressing from a higher level. He lifted his pen and inserted himself into the topic, feigning seriousness: "Lin’s point about the importance of education for women is undeniable; everyone should agree. But the arguments have some flaws: Firstly, emphasizing the value of virginity, the importance of the hymen and a woman’s first sexual encounter itself objectifies women’s sexuality. Consider why men’s first time isn’t seen as valuable...; Furthermore, protecting oneself isn’t the same as protecting one’s first time; in reality...; Moreover, Lin mentioned issues for women not entering mid-to-upper social echelons. Does that mean lower-class society isn’t part of society, and solving women’s issues involves letting all women enter upper classes, leaving men in the lower?...; Also, I understand You Yun’s point: having multiple partners and diverse sexual behaviors don’t equate to sexual chaos or dangerous behaviors, and one can still take protective measures with multiple partners..."

"But isn’t it those in society, those women without a college education, who are the most promiscuous? The most prone to illness?" Lin Shanshan retorted unhappily.

"It depends on how you define promiscuity; literature shows that people with higher IQs tend to have stronger sex drives, and highly educated women are more open to different sexual behaviors. Hence, the so-called college-educated women in your narrative might be more promiscuous than what you describe as social women...; Moreover, a different study shows sex workers have a lower likelihood of contracting sexually transmitted diseases compared to housewives..." Lu Jincheng said as he flipped through his laptop, presenting it forward, though the paper was in English and not immediately comprehensible, it didn’t hinder the show of competence.
