Super Zoo-Chapter 629 - 622 Dormitory Mixer

I can almost start updating again, and today there will be a large update of three thousand words over three chapters.

—————Break——————

Suming originally didn't like attending class reunions because he felt that many reunions were no longer purely about maintaining relationships but had become a show-off contest, bringing with them many social trends. Fortunately, since their college classmates had just graduated a year ago, the initial feelings hadn't changed much.

However, he hadn't expected that, although there was no ostentatious behavior, there were indeed quite a few subtle thoughts at play. Humans are a combination of rationality and emotion, and wherever there are people, there are bound to be both open and covert struggles.

Lin Mu, either joking because he had drunk too much or for some other reason, spoke rather aggressively, as if he was picking a fight with He Yanyan.

Luo Sha giggled and said, "Oh, Captain Lin is eager for a drink, here, I'll drink with you." After saying that, she took the glass that was originally meant for Suming, shook it at Lin Mu, and downed it.

Luo Sha was very tactful; Lin Mu was one of Suming's dorm mates, and by offering the drink to Lin Mu instead, not only did it not upset Suming, but it also gave Lin Mu a way out, sparing the embarrassment of Suming's dorm mates. Indirectly, it saved face for Suming.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment and then drank the liquor in his glass as well.

The guy's head got muddled when he drank too much; his eyes turned red, and after he put down the glass, he kept staring straight at He Yanyan. Yang Tao sensed the atmosphere was going awry and kicked Lin Mu under the table. Lin Mu's eyes widened, and he almost blurted out, "Why did you kick me?" Wang Hao was all smiles, firmly grasped Lin Mu's arm, and pulled him back to his seat, "Big bro, you're towering over the table like a lightning rod."

"But it's not thundering..." Lin Mu muttered, really glancing towards the window.

The strong-bodied Lin Mu was actually most intimidated by Mr. Wang in their dorm. Whenever Lin Mu had one of his drunken outbursts, all it took was a stern face from Wang Hao and Lin Mu would calm down.

"Luo Sha, I toast to you," Suming proactively raised his glass towards Luo Sha. Everyone in the dorm was aware of the past episode where Lin Mu pursued He Yanyan. Seeing old flames today made everyone especially envious, but Luo Sha had helped Lin Mu save face so that the situation didn't turn ugly. The loss would be on the people from dorm 303. Suming, wanting to return the favor, filled up his glass and voluntarily drank with Luo Sha.

If Li Wanting was a little demoness, then Luo Sha was a seductive demoness on a different path. Whereas Li Wanting's skills were relatively balanced, Luo Sha had specialized: she went all-in on the charm, with her electrifying abilities maxed out.

Suming's opinion of Luo Sha boiled down to four words, "Respect from a distance."

Seeing Suming drinking voluntarily with her, Luo Sha was secretly pleased, thinking that she had made the right move earlier. Suming was someone who truly valued his classmates' feelings and didn't want anyone from his dormitory to drink too much and embarrass themselves.

Luo Sha always had a smile for everyone she drank with, but when it came to Suming, the smile on her face was like that of a vixen who had just spotted a chick, giving the impression that if it were just Suming and Luo Sha alone, she would have devoured little Mr. Su without hesitation the next second.

"He's had quite a lot to drink, let me take him," Nangong Yan stood up.

One couldn't blame Song Lulu for being overly sensitive before. As the saying goes, "one's habits reflect their upbringing," and being born into a prestigious family and dealing with a host of police officers from a young age, Nangong Yan naturally had a kind of intimidating air about her that was rare for a girl and would deter people from disrespecting her. After spending a lot of time with Suming, a middle-class entrepreneur with a net worth in the hundreds of millions, she had also acquired an air of nobility. When she stood up, even Luo Sha, who worked at a bank, seemed somewhat dim in comparison, let alone Song Lulu.

Luo Sha had always been in Yangchuan City and was well aware that with Nangong Yan around, there was basically no hope of digging under her fence. Despite her enchanting nature, Luo Sha was not a discontent woman. Though she had once regretted not getting her hands on Suming sooner, having him as a major deposit customer made her very satisfied with her current life and she wasn't interested in taking the risk to entice him away.

In such a circumstance, getting on good terms with Nangong was more important than trying to cozy up to Suming. Luo Sha wasted no time, downed her drink, and with eyes shining like she had discovered a new world, fixed her gaze on Nangong, "Oh, I was wondering why you looked so familiar. You're the big star from our Yangchuan City TV Station, you're even more beautiful in person..."

Off they went to get an autograph.

He Yanyan had been quietly holding her cup all along, and after Luo Sha and Lin Mu's stir, she finally nodded towards Suming and said, "Long time no see!"

Nangong Yan's ears perked up instantly.

It wasn't just Nangong Yan whose ears perked up. He Yanyan's words were laden with deep emotion, like a girl reading in a corner of a coffee shop who, upon looking up, suddenly sees her first love from years ago.

Wang Hao made a mental note and turned to look at Suming, having never heard of any past between these two.

"Lin Mu, what you just said isn't right. Of course, there's a reason I propose a toast to Suming," He Yanyan probably felt that her previous remark was too suggestive and changed the subject, smiling at Lin Mu as she explained: "You forgot? That year our two dorms had that joint gathering, and I even sang a duet with Suming."

Her words instantly evoked memories for the ten young men and women from the two dorms gathered there, stirring emotions in some with untold stories deep in their hearts.

Time seemed to roll back to their college days; scenes from several years ago vividly returning to mind.

It was the second semester of their freshman year when Suming was cycling past the water room and heard a 'bang'—someone's water bottle exploded. He stopped to look and saw a girl wearing sports shorts, sitting on the flowerbed, grimacing in pain, with boiling water spilled all around her, and her shins were scalded bright red.

Suming happened to be on his bike and took her to the campus clinic to get treated for half the day.

During his college years, Suming wasn't focused on flirting with girls; after the small incident, the girl thanked him and neither of them exchanged contact details, simply bidding each other farewell and moving on.

A meeting was taking place in the dormitory.

Lin Mu had his eyes on another girl from the class and had hinted at her several times covertly. They had also gone out to eat a few times, but the girl was always lukewarm—though without outright rejection, so the guys in the dorm were brainstorming ideas.

Hou Longtao was searching for torrents on QVOD without lifting his gaze and said, "Lin Mu, why bother with all that effort? You're good at basketball; aren't you afraid of not having girls chase after you? I know about that He Yanyan – her parents are high-level executives in multinational corporations from down south. She has high standards. In less than a year of enrollment, she could assemble a basketball team with the guys she's given the 'nice guy' card to."

"Does that mean I stand no chance?" Lin Mu said apprehensively.

Wang Hao shook his head: "Not necessarily. If she's willing to eat with you, it at least means she doesn't find you annoying. But, I've seen a lot of girls like her. Let me tell you, skip all those insincere tactics. You've already spent quite a bit on buying her flowers and dinners—your sincerity is enough. Go buy her a gift that's significant enough. If she accepts it, find somewhere romantic for your next dinner, and then take her to a hotel. Even if you don't end up at a hotel, you should solidify the relationship."

"But what if she doesn't accept the gift? Wouldn't that just make things awkward and leave no room for recovery?" Lin Mu said, somewhat worried.

Wang Hao was lying on the bed, blowing a languid smoke ring, "If she doesn't take it, buddy, I advise you to drop it. It means she has high aspirations and her own backbone. This kind of girl isn't within our reach right now. Even if she's temporarily soft-hearted and you manage to win her over, you'll find it exhausting in the long run."

Yang Tao made a quiet phone call. After hanging up, he chuckled and said, "Don't rush Lin Mu. I'm on good terms with the head of He Yanyan's dorm. We agreed to have a gathering between our two dorms this weekend. Just show your best side in front of the girls from her dorm, and I'll have their dorm head put in a good word for you. A few sentences between close girlfriends can sometimes work wonders beyond your wildest efforts."

"Hey, boss, that's a solid suggestion!" Wang Hao sat up from the bed excitedly, "Lin Mu, let me tell you, if you could get the girls from her dorm to fancy you and start pursuing you, this is almost sure to work! Women are very jealous. He Yanyan is lukewarm toward you because she knows she's your only target – there's no competition. But if suddenly girls start chasing you around her, it'll create a sense of urgency and pressure. It's like, her toy that only belonged to her is being snatched away, she's bound to get jealous and unhappy. When that happens, you play it cool for a few days, don't pay attention to her, get her really hooked, and then one day shower her with attention, you're bound to seal the deal right there and then!"

"Damn, when did I become a toy?" Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"What else did you think? Isn't dating in university just for fun? Guys and girls alike, we're just adult toys to each other, meant to alleviate loneliness," Wang Hao said, sounding precociously experienced.

Hou Longtao, fixated on the computer, blurted out, "Why wouldn't you be a toy, Lin Mu? You're just a life-sized toy, girls are definitely going to like that!"

Just then, Suming entered, wiped his face with a towel, "Monkey, you're watching those hardcore films again, even talking about toys?"

The room erupted in laughter as Yang Tao explained the situation to Suming, who only then understood what it all meant.

At the weekend gathering, Lin Mu lived up to everyone's expectations, dominating the scene from dining to later singing. Lin Mu, during his college days, was a male star among the boys – handsome, good at basketball, generous with drinks, and his voice when singing Jeff Chang's songs was almost indistinguishable from the original. During the meal, a girl named Sun Li from the other dorm seemed to have taken a liking to the tall and handsome Lin Mu—her gaze was like a wolf eyeing its prey, endlessly toasting with Lin Mu.

However, it was only on that day that Suming found out the 'He Yanyan' Lin Mu fancied was the same girl who had been scalded with boiling water at the water room.

After the meal, the twelve young men and women from both dorms, having drunk a fair amount, went to a KTV for karaoke. Lin Mu led off with 'Love Like Tide,' leaving everyone awestruck. Sun Li sat next to Lin Mu, constantly bestowing him with attention, singing several love songs with him, which only fueled Lin Mu's enthusiasm, performing with more than a hundred percent effort.

He Yanyan had been sitting quietly in the corner of the private room all the while, smiling serenely as she listened to others sing.
