Chapter 63 The Collapse of the Mathematical Erection
Chapter 63 The Collapse of the Mathematical Erection
After the freshman orientation, Zeng Cheng went to find Yu Baiwei and took a walk with her.
We didn't have lunch together.
Yu Baiwei said that her dormitory was having a lunch gathering today, and asked Zeng Cheng if he wanted to go.
Zeng Cheng refused—if he went, he'd be looked at like a monkey by the girls.
After seeing Yu Baiwei off, I checked the time.
Around 10:30, it was too early to have lunch, so I went back to the dormitory first.
The other three brothers were there, engaged in a heated discussion—who was the prettiest girl in the class.
Upon seeing Zeng Cheng, Wang Zicong immediately brought up the topic: "Hey, Lao Liu, tell me, which girl in our class is the prettiest?"
Zeng Cheng replied with a smile, "Wang Laowu, didn't I tell you before? I have face blindness... I think they all look pretty much the same."
I'm not really face-blind, but I do think they all look pretty much the same.
Lately, I've been maintaining my revolutionary friendship with the beautiful Yu every day, and my threshold for such behavior has long been off the charts.
Even a sexy and charming vixen like Mi Lai was reduced to "ordinary stuff" in Zeng Cheng's eyes.
"Damn it," Wang Zicong rolled his eyes at Zeng Cheng, "Old Six, you're not face-blind, you're blind! The prettiest girl in our class is definitely Mi Lai. She's tall, has a good bust, and beautiful legs. What makes me drool the most is that little bit of flirtatious charm she has... I declare that in a month, she'll become your sister-in-law, Zeng Lao Liu!"
Zeng Cheng recalled carefully and did have some recollection.
Whether someone is pretty or not, it's not really a big deal.
She is undeniably sexy.
When she went on stage to introduce herself, Mi Lai wore a pair of crystal shoes, revealing her fair and delicate feet with clear and rounded toes, and pink nail polish.
Her glances were alluring and seductive.
This type of girl is not commonly seen during school years.
With this thought in mind, Zeng Cheng smiled and said, "Old Wang, if Mi Lai really becomes my sister-in-law, then can I finally eat dumplings?"
"Young Master, I'll tear your filthy mouth apart sooner or later!" Wang Zicong said angrily, then a hint of wariness appeared between his brows. "Sixth Brother, you wouldn't happen to have designs on Mi Lai too, would you?"
He was genuinely worried that Zeng Cheng would compete with him—although Zeng Cheng was taller than him, he was also more handsome.
Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes: "So what if you have ideas? If you can have them, why can't I? We're brothers, each relying on our own abilities!"
Chen Yuliang was playing on his phone at the time, and upon seeing this, he secretly sent a QQ message.
"Qu Xiaoxiao, I have some juicy gossip for you! Wang Zicong and Zeng Cheng from our dorm both like Mi Lai, and those two almost got into a fight in the dorm!"
Qu Xiaoxiao also had her eye on class officers, with her sights set on the position of Youth League Secretary.
These past two days, just like Chen Yuliang and Qi Jiahao, I've been hanging around in front of Yan Guodong and Zhong Lingyu quite a bit.
After a few exchanges, Chen Yuliang added her on QQ and they quickly became very close.
Chen Yuliang's actions at this moment are actually a common problem for many people.
He didn't have many topics to talk about, but he wanted to chat with girls more, so he used his roommates as conversation starters to try and gain attention from the girls he liked.
It's not fair to call him a bad person.
But the discomfort was genuine.
Wang Zicong pleaded pitifully, "Sixth Master, no, Sixth Master, I truly love Mi Lai. Please, have mercy and let her go to this lowly Wang?"
Zeng Cheng nodded: "Okay, little bastard."
Wang Zicong: "..."
I got careless again!
I only knew that you can't say "ba" after "chicken," but I didn't realize that you can't add it after "king."
Zeng Cheng was somewhat puzzled: "You little bastard—seriously, a rich guy like you, shouldn't you be chasing after the prettiest girls? Why are you fixated on Mi Lai?"
"Zeng Laoliu, if you call me 'Little Turtle' again, I'll kill you!" Wang Zicong cursed, then retorted, "Are you really blind? Isn't Mi Lai the prettiest girl in our class?"
Zeng Cheng retorted, "You're the one who's blind. The prettiest one is clearly Teacher Zhong. And to be fair, the class assistant can also be considered part of our class!"
Wang Zicong, He Shuhuan, and Chen Yuliang all glared at the sixth man.
They still dared to fantasize.
Someone like Teacher Zhong, a goddess-level figure, can only be placed on a pedestal and worshipped; I wouldn't even dare to dream of her.
Therefore, when discussing girls, they subconsciously excluded Zhong Lingyu.
Is it possible that Lao Liu's real target is Teacher Zhong?
If that's really the case, then this kid has absolutely no self-awareness!
Wang Zicong looked at Zeng Cheng: "What's wrong, Lao Liu? You actually have feelings for Teacher Zhong?"
"No, I've already figured it out, women are boring—" Zeng Cheng said, shaking his head. Then, he changed the subject, "But Teacher Zhong is obviously a rich and beautiful woman. If she insists on taking me on a luxury yacht around the world, confessing her love to me in a field full of roses, or kissing me passionately in a hot air balloon at 20,000 meters... then even if it means driving luxury cars, living in mansions, frequenting high-end places, having huge amounts of unexplained wealth, receiving undeserved rewards, and rising to the top in one step... I'd be willing."
Wang Zicong, He Shuhuan, and Chen Yuliang: "..."
Zeng Laoliu, did you really use cephalosporin as a drink?
After rambling on for a while, Zeng Cheng's stomach started to rumble.
He looked at his three roommates: "How about we go out for a meal together? It's been so long since school started, and our dorm hasn't had a meal together yet."
"Can."
"no problem."
He Shuhuan and Chen Yuliang nodded in agreement.
Wang Zicong certainly had no objections.
Then the four of them started discussing where to eat.
Wang Zicong suggested, "Brothers, I think life should have a little sense of ritual. Let's pick a nice restaurant for our first get-together. How about Shujinlou in Dongdaemun? I ate there once on the day we signed up, and it was pretty good."
"Shujinlou it is then, we can split the bill later. But wait a minute—" Zeng Cheng looked at Wang Zicong, "Fifth brother, didn't you say on the day you entered the school that you wanted the three of us to give you a chance to treat you to a meal? You're a rich guy, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
Wang Zicong still acknowledges it.
He immediately patted his chest and said the meal was on him.
So the other three brothers started getting ready, while Zeng Cheng took out his phone and sent a message to Yu Baiwei, asking if she had gone out to dinner with her roommates.
Yu Baiwei replied quickly, saying she was already on her way.
After chatting for a while, she suddenly sent Zeng Cheng two handkerchiefs.
【? ? ? 】
You threw two punches this morning!
So you offered a handkerchief?
【Um!】
Zeng Cheng said he was charmed by her cuteness.
[Yu Baiwei, you're like Qin Shi Huang touching an electrical wire—completely exhausted from winning!]
I had just finished chatting with the beautiful Yu when another message popped up on QQ, sent by Zhong Lingyu.
[Junior Zeng, let's have lunch together. There's something I'd like to discuss with you.]
What matters require meeting in person to discuss, and can't be discussed on QQ?
It's easier to talk in person. By the way, junior, is it really that difficult for you to have a meal with me?
[Senior Zhong, my mom always told me that society is complicated, and boys must protect themselves when they're out and about. We're having dinner together, a lone man and woman. What if you try to take advantage of me?]
After a silence of about five seconds, Zhong Lingyu sent Zeng Cheng a whole row of bloody daggers.
Just as Zeng Cheng was about to tell her that he was "just kidding," Zhong Lingyu's message came again.
"It's really important. I want to talk to you about Ayina. Someone in my family works for a charity, and I'd like to help connect her with a charity that can fund her education."
Zeng Cheng pondered for a moment and felt that this was indeed a serious matter, and it was not easy to explain clearly online, so he typed a reply.
[Our dorm is having a get-together, senior, why don't you come along?]
【address.】
After sending the location to Chung Ling-yu, Tseng Cheng said to Wong Tsz-chung, who was still applying hair gel, "Fifth brother, how about I treat you to lunch? I have a friend coming too."
According to the unwritten rules of the underworld, guests don't bring their own guests, and Zeng Cheng understood this.
Although Wang Zicong would certainly be willing to treat Zhong Lingyu to dinner, and might even feel honored, one thing is one thing.
Wang Zicong waved his hand irritably: "Sixth Brother, who the hell do you think you are? Don't even mention one, I'd treat even ten of your Fifth Brothers."
Zeng Cheng could only give a thumbs up: "Tsk tsk tsk, rich guy is awesome."
Wang Zicong started gossiping: "Can you tell me who it is? A boy or a girl?"
Chen Yuliang and He Shuhuan also looked at Zeng Cheng.
Zeng Cheng answered truthfully: "Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. You all know her, Teacher Zhong and Senior Zhong. She insisted on having dinner with me, and I really had no choice but to ask her to come."
"What?"
Wang Zicong, He Shuhuan, and Chen Yuliang all stared wide-eyed.
Zeng Laoliu, are you really not bragging?
It's only been a short time since school started, and he's already got the ability to invite a goddess like Teacher Zhong out for dinner?
No, this kid didn't say "make an appointment," but rather that Teacher Zhong insisted on having dinner with him. Zhong Lingyu was the one who took the initiative.
Wang Zicong was the first to express disbelief: "Sixth Brother, you're really bragging without thinking, aren't you? You actually drank cephalosporin with alcohol?"
Chen Yuliang and He Shuhuan also expressed their doubts one after another.
Zeng Cheng was definitely too lazy to explain: "Believe it or not—"
Seeing that the three brothers were almost done getting ready, he was about to wash his face when another message came in.
[Cheng-ge, Mou Jiajia and I are planning to visit Shuda University. We're on our way. You'll have to treat us to lunch, okay?]
Zeng Cheng frowned as he replied.
[Hey, you just got swindled a few days ago, and you've already forgotten the pain before the wound has even healed? You're already getting involved with Mu Jiajia again!]
"Brother Cheng, it wasn't what you think that day. Mu had already arranged it with me first, and then Xia Ning made the appointment with her..."
Is this what she told you?
【right.】
And then you believed it?
【Um!】
Let me tell you—the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!
【Brother Cheng, Mou is different!】
【…】
Zeng Cheng had no choice but to send the address of Shujinlou to Li Xingzhi and tell him to come directly over.
After sending the message, he said to Wang Zicong, "Fifth Brother, do you still stand by what you said earlier?"
"What did you say?"
"It wouldn't be a problem for me to have ten more friends."
"Why do you say that, brother?"
"You're so eloquent, Lao Wu. Two of my high school classmates are coming to Sichuan University soon, and they haven't had lunch yet either."
"Damn it, you're just targeting me?"
Zeng Cheng was indeed a little embarrassed.
"Bullshit, what a coincidence. In that case, I'll treat you to lunch."
"Go away, go away—" Wang Zicong retorted, displeased again. "Who do you think you are? Don't you have any friends? Hurry up and call them, I'll admit defeat if you even frown!"
Zeng Cheng then gave Wang Zicong the highest praise among men.
"You're pretty good!"
At 11:30, the group of four set off from the male dormitory building of the School of Economics and headed straight for Shujin Building off campus. They arrived at the building in about ten minutes.
Wang Zicong waved his hand and told the waiter to bring the menu.
He pushed the menu to the other three people and said arrogantly, "You can eat whatever you want."
Chen Yuliang was stunned by the prices on the menu, while He Shuhuan was somewhat reserved.
Ultimately, the task of ordering food fell to Zeng Cheng.
While he was ordering food, the other three brothers all looked out the window at the commercial street.
"What are you three looking at?"
After ordering, Zeng Cheng also looked out the window and understood why.
Several girls from the Finance Class 1 were shopping on the commercial street—including Mi Lai, whom the guys had just been discussing.
Now Zeng Cheng could see it clearly.
Milai is indeed a little devil.
Her features were exquisite and alluring.
The most beautiful feature is her eyes; with every glance, she exudes a captivating charm.
Her breasts weren't very big, but her waist was incredibly thin.
Their gait is flamboyant and eye-catching, as if they could create a ripple in the water.
If Zeng Cheng were still seventeen, he would probably praise her for her clear, bright eyes and slender waist.
Unfortunately, he was already eighteen years old, and no matter how hard he racked his brains, only this one sentence came to mind.
[So fucking slutty, so damn slutty.]
Wang Zicong nudged Zeng Cheng.
"Sixth Brother, I told you you were a hypocrite. You just said Mi Lai was so-so, but now you're staring at her like that? Damn, you're practically drooling..."
"But don't even think about it. This little vixen has high standards. Looking across the entire Economics Department, apart from your fifth brother, a rich and handsome guy, there's no way anyone could possibly win her over!"
Zeng Cheng retorted irritably, "Which of your eyes saw me drooling? I was just curious what you three idiots were looking at!"
Wang Zicong sneered: "Heh, an explanation is just a cover-up!"
Zeng Cheng: "..."
Wang Zicong continued chirping, "Sixth brother, you definitely can't win over Mi Lai. Why don't you go after Qu Xiaoxiao? She's not much worse than Mi Lai."
Qu Xiaoxiao, also a girl from the Finance Class 1, was standing next to Mi Lai at that moment.
This girl is quite pretty if you look at her features individually, but her overall demeanor is a bit rustic.
At this moment, Chen Yuliang suddenly spoke up: "No, Lao Liu, you can pursue whomever you want, just don't pursue Qu Xiaoxiao! We've already added each other on QQ and are chatting really well!"
"???"
The guys were all looking on in surprise.
Zeng Chengxian expressed his shock: "Third brother, your execution is impressive... Wang Laowu, who considers himself a rich and handsome man, is still just talking big, and you've already found your target and started taking action?"
Chen Yuliang chuckled: "That's because I know my own limitations. How could I possibly catch up with someone as beautiful as Mi Lai? It's better to settle for second best."
"Third brother, you're more insightful in this regard than sixth brother." Wang Zicong first gave Chen Yuliang a thumbs up, then glared at Zeng Cheng, "What do you mean by calling yourself a 'tall, rich, and handsome' guy? Sixth brother, I am a tall, rich, and handsome guy!"
Zeng Cheng stroked his chin: "Whether someone is handsome or not is subjective, so let's leave that aside for now. You're definitely rich, I admit that. As for height—Wang Laowu, how tall are you?"
Wang Zicong declared confidently, "My height is 1.8 meters!"
Zeng Cheng looked at He Shuhuan: "Fourth brother, how tall are you?"
He Shuhuan is an honest kid: "1.76 meters tall."
Zeng Cheng asked Chen Yuliang, "Third brother, give an objective evaluation: who is taller, the fifth brother or the fourth brother?"
Without a second thought, Chen Yuliang exclaimed, "It must be the fourth brother who's taller; he's at least three centimeters taller!"
Zeng Cheng continued stroking his chin: "Wang Laowu, who's 180cm tall, is shorter than He Laosi, who's 176cm. That means 180cm is less than 176cm... Tsk tsk tsk, Wang Laowu, you're fucking awesome! You've brought down the edifice of mathematics!"
Wang Zicong: "..."
Although he can't outdo Zeng Cheng in showing off, he also seems unable to win an argument.
