Yu Qian revealed a smile and said, “Hello, I’m Yu Qian.”

The girl across from her returned the smile and said, “My name is Han Yun. From now on, we’ll be roommates.”

The other party didn’t seem difficult to get along with. Yu Qian thought to herself and then went to find her bed.

The dormitory conditions at Peking University were excellent. It was a four-person room, with each person having their own loft bed and desk. Yu Qian’s bed was conveniently located to the left of the window.

Jiang Zheng, a young master who had never lifted a finger for household chores, had no experience in such matters. Although he wanted to help Yu Qian organize, he had no idea where to start. In the end, he could only sit on a chair and watch as Yu Qian climbed onto the bed to lay out her bedding.

Han Yun’s parents had already made her bed for her, so she couldn’t help but secretly observe the two across from her. They didn’t seem like siblings, but they also didn’t quite look like a couple.

After finishing her own arrangements, Yu Qian informed Han Yun before leaving the girls’ dormitory with Jiang Zheng. She still had to help this young master make his bed.

Jiang Zheng and Bai Qiming were both finance majors. They lived in the same dormitory building but weren’t in the same room. Jiang Zheng’s dorm was 607.

By the time they arrived, all of Jiang Zheng’s roommates were already there. When they saw their last roommate walk in with a girl, their eyes widened in shock.

When they saw Yu Qian climb onto Jiang Zheng’s bed to make it for him, their expressions turned into pure envy and resentment.

School had only just started, yet some people were already showing off their romantic luck? This was way too disrespectful to the single guys in the room!

Jiang Zheng, basking in their jealous gazes, felt secretly pleased but maintained a calm expression on the surface.

Once the bed was made, Jiang Zheng exchanged a few words with his roommates before leaving the dormitory with Yu Qian. They met up with Bai Qiming and Lin Niannian and found a restaurant for dinner. After eating, they wandered around to see if there was anything else they needed to buy.

By the time Yu Qian returned to her dorm, it was already quite late and all her roommates had arrived.

Meeting for the first time, the four girls were somewhat reserved, but before long, they opened up and started chatting.

Yu Qian got a preliminary understanding of her roommates. They were all in the same class. Han Yun and Zhang Qiuli, whose beds were across from hers, were both locals from the capital, while Zhao Na, who occupied the bed next to hers, was from the southern province.

That evening, the four of them attended the freshman welcome party together, only to make a devastating discovery— their entire department only had 22 students, which consisted of 13 girls and 9 boys.

What did this mean? It meant that in the future, skipping class would be nearly impossible, as they would stand out too much!

The second day of school marked the start of the traditional military training. Yu Qian utterly loathed this activity but had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it.

The training lasted fifteen days. During this period, Yu Qian and Jiang Zheng didn’t see each other at all. Sometimes, when Jiang Zheng sent her messages, she was too exhausted to even reply.

Finally, the military training came to an end. As Yu Qian looked at the teary-eyed girls around her, she was baffled. Was it really that emotional? It had only been fifteen days. Was their attachment to the instructors really that deep?

The moment training ended, Jiang Zheng couldn’t wait to invite Yu Qian out for a meal.

However, as he watched Yu Qian walk toward him, Jiang Zheng completely let his guard down and burst out laughing.

“Little Fish…… you look like a lump of coal right now. If I stick a crescent moon on your forehead, you could play the role of Bao Zheng^[1]a politician during the reign of Emperor Renzong in the Song Dynasty.”

Seeing the once fair and delicate Yu Qian now tanned to a deep brown, Jiang Zheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Yu Qian admitted that her tan was quite obvious, but what girl could tolerate such mockery? Furious, she turned around to leave immediately, only for Jiang Zheng to quickly rush forward, grab her hand, and sincerely apologize in an attempt to earn her forgiveness.

Yu Qian looked at the equally tanned Jiang Zheng and felt a pang of unfairness in her heart. How was it that when he got tanned, he looked more masculine, his skin taking on a bronze hue, yet when she got tanned, she looked like a dusty little clown? This was completely unfair!

Especially when she saw that Lin Niannian’s complexion had barely changed from before training, Yu Qian was so frustrated that she bought several boxes of face masks, determined to restore her fair skin.

With the military training behind her, Yu Qian’s university life had officially begun, and so could the plans she had been preparing for.

She casually asked around and, as expected, found out that there was a freshman in the computer science department named Zhang Yifan.

When Yu Qian went to take a look, she confirmed that he was indeed the boyfriend of Wang Jiajia. He’s that cheating scumbag. At that moment, she clenched her teeth in fury.

In her previous life, when Wang Jiajia had just started university, this scumbag had been a sophomore. He had a decent appearance and a scholarly demeanor. Once he started pursuing Wang Jiajia, she quickly fell for him.

But unexpectedly, this scumbag had been using the same tactics on four or five different freshmen at the same time.

By the time Wang Jiajia found out, she had already fallen too deep. Every time she wanted to break up, the scumbag would act pitiful, swear an oath, and make her hesitate. Every time Yu Qian thought about this, she wished she could hire someone to beat him up.

Right now, Zhang Yifan was only a freshman and didn’t have any dirt on him yet. But that wasn’t a problem. If he didn’t have a dark history, Yu Qian would create one for him!

Yu Qian laid out her plan. She would first pretend to like him, then arrange for a few girls to confess their feelings to him. Once he started stringing multiple girls along, she would immediately expose him on the university forum, ruining his reputation before he had the chance to deceive any innocent girls.

That was Yu Qian’s plan. And why did she have to take action herself? Of course, it was to set things up for warning Wang Jiajia in the future.

Best friends were a strange kind of creature. If you got a boyfriend, their first instinct would be to judge him, thinking he wasn’t good enough for you.

And if their best friend liked a scumbag…… then they would want nothing more than to destroy him.

Just imagining Wang Jiajia’s future reaction, Yu Qian was certain that if she went this far and Wang Jiajia still liked Zhang Yifan, then—

She would just beat up Wang Jiajia herself!
