CHAPTER 461: CHAPTER 460: INTRODUCING ONESELF

"If Zhen Yu knew Han Mingyue got noticed by girls this early just because of his skin tone, she would definitely regret giving him sunscreen! Maybe she would even wish she had given him something to make him darker and shinier!

Sadly, there are no ’ifs’ in this world, and besides, Han Mingyue just applied it to his face only, yet his neck and hands don’t show any signs of tanning or discoloration. This shows it’s not because sunscreen worked, maybe he just doesn’t tan at all...

—

While the girls were discussing boys, the boys’ dorm was also talking about the prettiest girls in the school.

It’s just that Han Mingyue’s bunkmate below was a bit oddball, always pitying himself before talking about the girls, and took the chance to envy Han Mingyue’s good looks!

On Thursday night after lights out, he once again started to complain about the agony his buzz cut brought him!

After a few nagging remarks, no one paid any attention to him! Clearly, everyone had heard enough these past few days!

So, he turned the topic to Han Mingyue, "Hey, I’m really puzzled! How on earth is your face put together? Why is it that we all have buzz cuts, but you’re the only one who didn’t turn uglier and actually got even more handsome?!"

Han Mingyue, as usual, gently advised him, "Just endure these three years, and you can have whatever hairstyle you want in college."

"Ah! Three years! Do you know how long that is... Man, it’s so unfair! Why can girls have shoulder-length hair?!"

His roommate made a joke: "Then why not change your gender?!"

"Haha!" Another roommate picked up on the joke, "That’s a great idea!"

The oddball bunkmate quickly said, "Hold up! A head can be chopped off, blood can flow, but the little brother must never be lost!"

—

After a round of teasing laughter, another roommate again steered the conversation towards Han Mingyue.

"Han Mingyue! You promised last time to introduce us to that super pretty middle school classmate of yours; when are you going to do it?! We have been waiting for days!"

Han Mingyue just silently smiled in the darkness, "Of course, I have to wait for the right opportunity! I can’t just take you seven guys there and then introduce everyone by name, right?!"

"That’s true! Doing that would be too silly!" said roommate D in agreement.

But suddenly the quirky guy on the lower bunk said: "So what if it’s silly! Take me with you!"

"Do you really want to go?" Han Mingyue’s smile narrowed, and he asked seriously.

"Of course! Aren’t you all saying that Bai Xue is the prettiest girl in our grade?! If you all think so, other guys must think the same! Even though I think the top scorer looks pretty good too, as long as I can meet Bai Xue! Just going there to introduce myself is fine!" The bunkmate spoke as if it was the most natural thing in the world, with incredibly thick skin.

"I think Jia Ming has a point!" Roommate A actually agreed with the quirky guy, "If you really go, remember to take me along!"

Roommate N said, "If you ask me, you all are just not thinking straight! Everyone eats at the same time! Tomorrow let’s go a bit later, wait for Han Mingyue to settle down, then find him and join him, and it’s all good!"

Han Mingyue felt secretly annoyed! But he still kept silent and listened.

However, he made up his mind firmly! He would never again go to the cafeteria with the two girls! To avoid these guys using him as a stepping stone and causing unnecessary trouble for Zhen Yu and Bai Xue.

—

The incidents during the nighttime talk, Han Mingyue told the two girls after the morning run on Friday.

Zhen Yu’s reaction was that it didn’t matter much, but Bai Xue’s reaction was even more weird!

"Is it really because of me?! Han Mingyue, you better be careful! Make sure no one is harboring ulterior motives aiming for Xiao Yu! She’s good in studies and pretty, surely many guys like a top student like her! I’ve heard that when a girl likes a guy, they start by getting close to the people around him! I guess you guys are the same, right? Then, I must be just a decoy..."

Zhen Yu is totally exasperated! "You better watch out for yourself!"

Han Mingyue is embarrassed! "...I will be careful."

Their simultaneous remarks made Bai Xue laugh so hard she almost fell apart! Then she suddenly mimicked Zhen Yu’s tone and threw the words right back at her! "Zhen Yu! You better watch out for yourself~"

"Bai Xue!" Zhen Yu’s face turned dark red from the teasing, and she suddenly fell silent after just calling out the name.

Because at that moment, she really didn’t know what to say...

Under the circumstances that both girls were mentally prepared, when it came to lunchtime, Han Mingyue’s roommates really did ’show up’.

"Han Mingyue! Let’s eat together!" Jia Ming loudly said as he approached the three.

"Sit." Han Mingyue’s attitude was neither cold nor warm.

The boys hurried to take their seats.

It seemed that they had already divided up tasks beforehand! A few seconds after everyone sat down, seeing that Han Mingyue still didn’t start talking, roommate A finally spoke up.

"Han Mingyue! These two? Are they your middle school classmates? Aren’t you going to introduce us?!"

"Zhen Yu, Bai Xue. These are my roommates, Jia Ming... just like me, they’re all from class two!"

Bai Xue: "Oh, hello."

Zhen Yu: "I’m done eating! Since you get along so well with your roommates, from now on, Bai Xue and I won’t eat with you anymore! You eat with them! Bye!"

Watching the two girls walking away with their trays, all the roommates suddenly fell silent.

Han Mingyue, however, was completely unaffected and finished his food, then he stood up and said, "I’m done eating! I’ll go first, you guys take your time!"

——

About a minute after Han Mingyue left, roommate N finally spoke up: "Something doesn’t feel right..."

"Did Han Mingyue say something to them beforehand?!" roommate A voiced N’s guess.

Jia Ming looked defeated: "Even if he did, what can we do?! I see it now! Han Mingyue obviously doesn’t want to help! It’s already good enough that he didn’t outright reject us!"

The faces of the other six people instantly turned sour, everyone looked like they lost their appetite!

Seeing this, Jia Ming knocked his chopsticks on the plate and said, "Come on guys! Didn’t you hear Zhen Yu say they won’t eat with Han Mingyue anymore?! Think about it, we’ve only known each other for a few days! Let’s give each other some face!" After saying that, he started eating his own meal.

The other boys then followed suit, one after the other, and buried their heads to eat.

But what thoughts they each harbored deep inside, that’s another story.

——

Meanwhile, Zhen Yu and Bai Xue, who excused themselves from lunch, didn’t go back to their dorm but went straight to the campus convenience store!

"Do you want bread or cookies?" Zhen Yu asked while taking out money, "I’m treating!"

Bai Xue: "I want instant noodles!"

"That stuff is not good if you eat too much of it! How about..."
