“Did everyone understand?”
“Understood!”
“No problem!”
“Let’s do it!”
After a heated discussion, the four girls from room 606 confidently left the dorm, clearly full of faith in Jia Ting’s clever plan. They marched together toward the teaching building, attracting countless gazes along the way. Each of these four women was a sight to behold on her own; together, they were a striking display, like a Victoria’s Secret show, just with more clothes on, but no less eye-catching.
Ji Yan stood out slightly more than the others due to her cool demeanor. In terms of looks, they each had their own unique charm and were equally attractive. However, in terms of figure, Jia Ting was the best because she had a habit of exercising in the morning.
“Hey, look, the 606 dorm girls are all out together.”
“Wow, that’s rare. Usually, you see one or two of them at most, but all four together!”
“What are they gonna do in a hurry?”
“No idea. Do you think they’re heading to the boys’ dorm again?”
“Qin Luo must have saved the galaxy in his previous life.”
“Don’t be jealous. If you had the persistence to confess 99 times, maybe you’d have a shot at the school beauty too.”
“Yes, right, I couldn’t do that…”
Under the curious eyes of many, the four girls passed by the boys’ dorm without pausing, continuing straight ahead. Seeing this, many guys sighed in relief.
“I told you, our school beauty is too cool to chase after a guy.”
“Well, she has already tried twice, you know.”
“Uh… let’s not focus on those details.”
“Anyway, her cool image is totally shattered in my mind.”
“Hey, do you think she might be one of those who seem cold on the outside but are actually desperate for love inside?”
“That makes sense. If that’s the case, maybe I have a chance too. Guys, watch me. I’m going to talk to her!”
While they were talking, one of the boys boldly strode up to Ji Yan and blocked the path of the four girls. However, the four of them continued walking, chatting and laughing, as if the guy blocking their way was invisible.
The onlookers burst into laughter. The boy, embarrassed and feeling the heat on his face, tried again, stepping in front of them and declaring loudly, “Ji Yan, I like you! Be my girlfriend!”
And again, they walked past him, not stopping for a second. Ji Yan didn’t even glance at him. The boy, now thoroughly humiliated, forced a smile and walked away awkwardly.
The people who witnessed this thought, “She’s still that aloof beauty.”
…
Not long after, the four girls arrived at a large classroom.
It was a public lecture given by a highly knowledgeable professor, attracting many students. By now, they were in their second year of college, almost done with the second semester.
With only a year left before graduation and internships, everyone wanted to learn as much as possible before leaving school to increase their skills for the future.
Their entrance quieted the originally lively classroom.
Thanks to their collective beauty, the 606 dorm was famous at the university. However, they didn’t often appear together.
Hao Meng and Shi Yulu had been best friends since elementary school and were usually seen together. Jia Ting and Ji Yan, on the other hand, were more independent and often moved alone.
Seeing all four together was a rare treat for their classmates. But the girls were used to being the center of attention and didn’t mind the stares.
Upon entering the classroom, they scanned the room. Shi Yulu’s eyes lit up. “Look, look, Qin Luo is over there!”
The other three followed her gaze and spotted Qin Luo, sitting with his three roommates towards the back, with an empty seat beside him.
“Perfect opportunity, Ji Yan! Go for it!” Hao Meng urged.
Jia Ting said, “We’ll find seats. You go sit by him. Remember, follow our plan, and it will work.”
During their strategy meeting, Jia Ting’s plan was simple: make an impression on Qin Luo. The goal was for Ji Yan to always be on Qin Luo’s mind. One way to do this was through regular messages, but they didn’t have Qin Luo’s contact information.
Getting his WeChat wasn’t difficult given their status in the school, but that would seem too deliberate and might backfire. So, Jia Ting suggested a more subtle approach: attend the same class as Qin Luo and sit next to him. This would seem natural and uncontrived.
Feeling proud of her idea, Jia Ting thought she was the smartest girl in room 606, even without any romantic experience. She added that Ji Yan should not initiate any conversation with Qin Luo; anything more would seem too obvious. The goal was just to be there, sit beside him in class, and then leave without saying a word.
Over time, Qin Luo’s love for her might be restored, and he might start paying attention to Ji Yan again.
Thus, the strategy was perfectly named: Playing hard to get!
