Forced Me to Regress, Huh?

Zhang Qiqi looked at Xu Shao and asked in puzzlement, “You don’t know him?”

However, she quickly realized the situation and said, “I supposed it’s normal. You’ve already graduated from Sci-Tech University for three years, so it’s not surprising you haven’t heard of this junior brother.

“On his first day of school, Miss Shen welcomed him at the school gate. Quite the spectacle, right?

“This matter has been spreading like wildfire these past few days. He’s almost become Miss Shen’s rumored boyfriend,” Zhang Qiqi said with a smile still on her face.

Hearing her repeatedly mention Miss Shen, Xu Shao naturally knew who she was talking about.

By the time Shen Qingning enrolled, he had already graduated. Speaking of which, he had never seen her in person.

But he had heard her name many times, especially from… Zhang Qiqi.

Xu Shao knew Zhang Qiqi didn’t like her.

In the entire Sci-Tech University, Zhang Qiqi’s dislike for Shen Qingning exceeded that for her roommate, who had secretly used her skincare products a few times.

When she mentioned this roommate, there was a tone of disdain mixed with a subtle air of superiority.

She thought, She’s a country bumpkin who’s never used high-end skincare products, so sneaking a few uses is understandable.

In any case, Zhang Qiqi wasn’t upset about it. After all, Xu Shao had given her the face cream, and another classmate had gifted her the toner and serum. She hadn’t spent a single cent.

When she mentioned it to Xu Shao, he casually replied, “Why not just expose this matter and throw away the face cream? I’ll buy you two more bottles tomorrow.”

Zhang Qiqi said, “How could I do that? It was a gift from you. I’ve already cleared things up with her. Plus, didn’t the sales associate give us a few sample packets? I gave her one.”

“Ah, you’re too kind!” Xu Shao sighed.

Little did he know that Zhang Qiqi enjoyed seeing her roommate’s panicked, helpless expression after she was exposed.

She also was quite pleased to see the gratitude and happiness that emerged amidst the endless embarrassment and social death after she gave her the sample.

She found it incredibly satisfying, thinking that everyone would think she was just a nice person.

In addition, Zhang Qiqi didn’t forget to say to Xu Shao, “There’s no need to buy me another bottle. A single bottle of La Mer cream lasts me a long time. I don’t use much at once, just enough for my skin to absorb.”

The sensible Xu Shao immediately caught the hint. “Ah, just use it as much as you want! Why are you being so frugal?! No way, I’ll buy you some right now. Then you can keep the two bottles in your dorm room, and you’ll go through them faster.”

“Don’t. La Mer’s cream is so expensive! It’s too pricey!”

Since she said this, how could he not buy it?

Was he someone who couldn’t afford this small sum of money?

If he didn’t buy it, wouldn’t he be seen as stingy and poor?

Even though she was just joking, he had to place an order now!

Xu Shao even bought an extra bottle of serum essence, purchasing a whole set.

When Zhang Qiqi received the items, she would immediately list them for sale on Xianyu.

Sometimes, boys simply didn’t understand how long it took for girls to go through their skincare products.

Moreover, with so many people gifting her things, she could never use everything up, so she had no choice but to resell them. Otherwise, would she just keep them until they expired?

As for why she disliked Shen Qingning?

To be precise, she disliked Lin Lu as well.

In the past, everyone only compared her to Jiang Cen, a junior sister a year below her, creating a bit of a ‘dual belles of Sci-Tech University’ impression.

But the moment Shen Qingning and Lin Lu appeared at the school, they caused a sensation.

Think about it. Zhang Qiqi had adept social skills, participated in countless activities, performed captivating dances at events, and managed a Weibo account. Many students, both male and female, followed her, eagerly consuming her meticulously edited photos and videos on Weibo.

But despite her efforts, Shen Qingning and Lin Lu’s campus popularity quickly caught up to hers.

They were, admittedly… better looking!

What made her even more uncomfortable was their privileged family backgrounds.

Shen Qingning drove a Range Rover to school, and Lin Lu had an Audi A4.

Cars aside, they also had luxury brand bags, wore expensive clothes and shoes, and used high-end skincare products.

The things Zhang Qiqi prided herself on—things she had to socialize and feign politeness to obtain—were theirs by birth, never something they had to strive for.

Besides, she had yet to meet one of those fabled big shots capable of giving a woman a car…

What grated on her most, though, was Shen Qingning’s aloof demeanor—always distant and exuding an air of superiority.

Zhang Qiqi particularly disliked Sheng Qingning’s cold and indifferent gaze when she looked at her. No, she downright resented it.

That was why she always called her Miss Shen and started to make herself appear more approachable in front of others, in contrast to her.

Moreover, don’t forget that she had been marketing her image as the campus belle of Sci-Tech University on Weibo, hoping to quickly gain followers and eventually sign with an influencer agency after graduation.

But damn it, there were always people leaving comments on her posts like:

“Not as good as Shen Qingning.”

“I can only say, not as good as Lin Lu.”

Ahhh! Didn’t this just add more burden to her efforts to build her influencer persona?!

Zhang Qiqi hated Shen Qingning, really hated her! And Lin Lu came in a close second!

At this moment, Xu Shao looked at her and asked, “So, you dislike Shen Qingning, which is why you dislike that junior brother named Cheng Zhu? You just wanted to see what he looked like today?”

“Yes!” Zhang Qiqi answered out loud.

But what she was thinking deep down was, That’s not it!

I don’t dislike that junior brother at all. Since his relationship with Shen Qingning isn’t ordinary, then I’m actually very interested in this handsome junior brother.

Meanwhile, on the sports field, the instructors finally taught everyone a military song, and the evening event ended with the resounding sound of the song echoing through the air.

Cheng Zhu quite liked the part when they sang military songs.

Although he was a singing god at KTVs with a repertoire of many signature songs, he always felt that loudly singing military songs had a unique sense of exhilaration! It was so freeing!

It was similar to the feeling of shouting loudly at the seaside or on a mountaintop.

As the hundreds of people on the field began to return to their dorms, Cheng Zhu walked through the crowd, feeling the gazes of many people on him, with some even secretly pointing at him.

Alas, I’m basically comparable to the young Louis Koo, Edison Chen before thirty, and Hu Ge from his Legend of the Sword and Fairy days… Cheng Zhu couldn’t do anything about it. Keeping a low profile was impossible for him.

I can’t wear a mask to school every day, can I?

Of the four people in Room 309, three had already returned to the dorm, as Dong Dong had been holding in his bladder during the event and immediately rushed to the bathroom after it was over.

When Cheng Zhu returned to the dorm room, Dong Dong immediately burst out laughing. “Old Cheng, I heard people talk about you the whole way back. It was hilarious. A bunch of people said you’re so pretentious!

“Hahaha, someone even complained that you were frowning while looking at the goddess.

“Someone immediately added. ‘Is that fucking called looking at the goddess? This idiot was practically glaring!’ I’m dying of laughter!” Dong Dong seemed to have an incredibly low sense of humor.

In the end, he patted Cheng Zhu’s shoulder and said, “But Old Cheng, you’re really more famous now. I’ve heard bits and pieces of it, and there are still some people complimenting you on being handsome.”

Cheng Zhu slapped his hand away and cursed, “I suspect your damn ears have a filter that blocks out all the people who say I’m handsome. You’re clearly jealous!”

“Fuck, Old Cheng, have some face!”

“Nonsense. Of course I have a face. If I threw a face of my level on the road, wouldn’t it cause a stampede, sparking a civil war at Sci-Tech University?”

“Forget it. I’ll shut up. Why don’t you just say that if you threw your face on the road, it’d be the cause of the next world war, and they’d put you in the history books?!” Dong Dong grumbled.

After a while, everyone started feeling a little hungry.

As the room leader, Young Master Dong immediately suggested, “Let’s go! Late-night snack! My treat!”

Previously, he had said his monthly allowance was 5,000 yuan, but in the dorm, he had said it was 6,000, and to his classmates, he had claimed it was 8,000.

With so much spending money, it was only natural for him to treat others frequently.

As for Zheng Qingfeng, whose monthly allowance was 10,000, he didn’t say a word. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to show off his wealth or treat anyone. He just wanted to maintain his aloof persona and wait for his roommates to suddenly discover that he was super rich.

He was looking forward to that day and had already decided that once someone discovered it, he would immediately treat everyone to an expensive meal!

When Liu Feng heard that someone was treating, he dropped his usual humble demeanor and grinned brightly.

Dong Dong looked at Cheng Zhu. “Old Cheng, you’re not going to bail again, are you?”

“I’m going! I’m a bit hungry too,” Cheng Zhu replied.

But he added, “I have something to take care of. You guys go ahead. I’ll be right there.”

“No need. We can just wait a few minutes for you,” Dong Dong said, looking confused.

Liu Feng could tell that Cheng Zhu wanted to do something alone, and it would be inconvenient with others around. He immediately pushed Dong Dong and said, “It’s fine if we go first. Come on, Young Master Dong. I’m starving!”

Just like that, Dong Dong lost himself in the calls of Young Master Dong and shouted, “Order whatever you want later. Don’t save money for me, who has a monthly allowance of six thousand yuan!”

“Okay!” Liu Feng pushed him out the door, and Zheng Qingfeng slowly followed.

Seeing that the Three Musketeers finally left the room, Cheng Zhu leisurely got up, opened his drawer, and opened the express package he had received in the afternoon.

Inside was a lingerie sample personally designed by him and then manufactured in Chen Bin’s factory.

It’s indeed a bit inconvenient to live in the dorm without exposing my identity. The renowned sexy lingerie tycoon, Cheng Zhu, felt a bit conflicted.

After locking the door, he picked up the product and raised it high. He examined it closely, feeling the texture and touching every corner of it.

In the adult product market, the styles everyone was selling now were generally similar, with only small details differing. Even the stepmother dress had been copied.

So, it was time to launch a new design!

Perhaps you’ve heard of the once-popular gray backless sweater (virgin killer sweater)?
