CHAPTER 165: CHAPTER 36 TREASURE GIRL BEN BAO, SENIOR SISTER’S TWIN PONYTAILS_3

Pigtails.

Black stockings.

Valentino.

Pulled to the max!

Of course, tonight there’s no black stockings, nor Valentino.

But Xu Lin has pigtails!

The next morning, Xu Lin took Ning Yuhuan downstairs to check out.

Unlike yesterday when Ning Yuhuan had her long hair draped down, today Ning Yuhuan wore high pigtails.

However, her eyes were red, obviously she had cried last night too.

Just like the night before last, Xu Lin and the others didn’t sleep until past three in the morning. Although the entire process was intermittent, Xu Lin did tire Ning Yuhuan quite a bit.

"Still angry?"

Xu Lin hugged her shoulder and asked with a smile, "I’ll agree to one request you have, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to go to the city library."

Ning Yuhuan hadn’t spoken to Xu Lin since she got up and came down; Xu Lin had gone too far last night.

But now that they’re down, the two hotel receptionists are watching them, so Ning Yuhuan couldn’t continue being sullen and potentially embarrass her man.

"Then we’ll go to the city library!"

Xu Lin checked out, hugged Ning Yuhuan as they went out, planning to find breakfast nearby.

"The girl has been crying, looking at her eyes; she must’ve cried a lot. It’s really pity-inducing. This guy isn’t a scumbag, is he?"

Both receptionists were female, and in such a hotel, gossip happens every day. So it’s no surprise that they occasionally discuss these things as a stress relief.

"Can’t say for sure if he’s a scumbag, but judging by her walking posture... hmm, this guy must be quite something!"

"Indeed."

The two hotel receptionists couldn’t help but envy.

After breakfast, Xu Lin rode an electric shared bike to the city library, with Ning Yuhuan sitting in front, leaning into his embrace.

Today, Ning Yuhuan sported a pigtail style that was truly unique, especially when she wasn’t speaking. Her sharp and heroic facial features contrasted sharply with her cute pigtail hairstyle, creating a pure yet alluring aura that was especially intense!

Soon, the two of them reached the library.

Xu Lin accompanied Ning Yuhuan in reading and studying there, while Xu Lin, feeling bored, picked out two books to read.

He’s on a roll now, reading is easy.

The "Extraordinary Memory" and "Learning Talent" combos can rapidly accelerate Xu Lin’s learning progress.

Theoretically, it seems as if Xu Lin could effortlessly master any subject he wants to learn, better than anyone else.

However, Xu Lin is rather lazy.

At least for now, he doesn’t have any desire to study.

Those who survived student life know, if you do badly in every subject, odds are you don’t know what to study or how to start learning.

Xu Lin is currently in a similar situation, he can learn anything, but doesn’t want to learn anything.

For now, it’s like this.

Later on, who knows.

He just picked up two books, "Great People and Great Nations", and "Records of the Grand Historian" by Sima Qian.

The former is West German Chancellor Schmidt’s memoir, so it’s not an author’s work, but a memoir. Here, "Great People" refers to educators.

The latter needs no introduction, the renowned "Records of the Grand Historian".

Xu Lin found that lately he’s enjoyed reading political and historical content, so he chose these two books.

"Great People and Great Nations" was finished quickly.

When it came to "Records of the Grand Historian", Xu Lin’s cultural level made it hard to comprehend because translation poses a problem. You must know this is a 2,000-year-old document, and without decent ancient language skills, you’ll have trouble understanding it.

This refers to surface-level understanding, not the deeper meanings, which most people couldn’t grasp even if they understood ancient texts, as there are many ancestral wisdoms within, still applicable today, that’s hard to decipher. Moreover, some sentences might briefly mention significant historical events from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, considered trivial by the Grand Historian, and Xu Lin’s historical knowledge isn’t nearly this high. Hence, much of the content feels like gibberish to him.

Though he couldn’t understand the ancient text, he memorized it, planning to learn more about ancient text translation later.

The afternoon was also spent accompanied Ning Yuhuan to grade assignments, still with the same group of girls, but now with an additional guy. Seems a girl also found herself a boyfriend, whether it’s due to several girls already having boyfriends accompanying them, she too found one.

After grading assignments, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan had dinner outside before returning to school.

Though they returned quite late.

Ning Yuhuan has a class meeting at seven in the evening, around fifty minutes past, not everyone attended, but at least most of them did.

Ning Yuhuan walked down the bridge path toward the end which was the classroom entrance.

Front door.

As she entered through the front door, she instantly captured everyone’s attention.

Only Ning Yuhuan was seen wearing long sleeves and jeans, carrying a backpack.

This wasn’t anything remarkable; she usually dressed like this.

Except for tonight, she wasn’t wearing her hair down, nor in a high ponytail, but in pigtails!

Her pure yet alluring appearance amazed and surprised everyone, finding it stunning.

Because it’s the first time Ning Yuhuan styled her hair in pigtails.

"Ning Yuhuan actually styled pigtails!"

"So beautiful!"

"Damn, that freshman jerk really has it easy!"

The guys gritted their teeth, saying it’s impossible not to have thoughts in the same class.

With Ning Yuhuan, regardless of appearance or character, she’s the best in class, perhaps even the best in the entire school.

After all, without even mention this, none of the other girls would hustle for just a few bucks doing part-time jobs?

In this day and age, pretty girls can earn money quickly, even if they’re just slightly pretty and a bit open-minded, by posting a few videos online and gaining a bunch of followers. At Finance University alone, there are several online celebrities with tens of thousands of followers, and two with over a million followers; one goes for looks, the other leads as an academic achiever.

In short, this era provides pretty girls with rapid ways to cash in.

Like girls at Ning Yuhuan’s level, earning money really is straightforward if they want to.

But Ning Yuhuan took up part-time jobs, self-reliant and frugal. Any sane guy would like this type of girl; she’s really a treasure girl gem!

But Ning Yuhuan is now taken by that freshman.

The guys sighed in disappointment, wishing they had confessed sooner, thinking maybe then Ning Yuhuan would be their girlfriend now.

Of course, that’s just cowardly fantasizing.

Actually, of the ten guys in class, none have confessed to Ning Yuhuan, because her facial features are too sharp and aggressive; her overall vibe radiates heroism, she’s top in academics, first in her major, too dazzling, making most guys afraid to express any personal feelings.

Girls this exceptionally outstanding, most guys don’t dare to court.

As the saying goes, "With empty pockets, how dare one entangle the fair maiden?"

Most guys have this mindset.

"Ning Yuhuan didn’t return to the dorm for both Friday and Saturday nights!"

A girl from the neighboring dorm whispered to the guys.

And that was just adding fuel to the fire for the guys. Not returning to the dorm implies spending the night out?

Then supposedly courting with that freshman jerk.

But even "courting" is putting it mildly.

What’s done when booking a room?

Probably while blasting others in-game, Ning Yuhuan was also being guided by that freshman jerk...

The guys secretly crushing on Ning Yuhuan felt even more miserable, sighing inwardly, feeling like they just missed the chance of a lifetime.

"Hanhan, pigtails, oh!"

"Didn’t expect our Hanhan could also rock pigtails, so cute!"

"Is this a special pigtail style for the freshman?"

"Hanhan, let me touch your pigtails!"

Ning Yuhuan had just sat down next to Liu Yuqing and her friends, when they started chirping away.

Xu Jinjie, the daring girl, mischievously grinned and asked quietly, "Hanhan, why pigtails? I heard pigtails speed up attacks, oh! Trying this for the freshman? Or our mischievous freshman made you do it?"

Ning Yuhuan blushed and glared at Xu Jinjie, unwilling to discuss this topic.

Xu Lin also mentioned pigtails increase attack speed last night.

Then, grasped her pigtails from behind like handlebars to pick up speed...

Xu Lin, he’s so bad!
