Chapter 23: Chen Xiaobei, the Master of Emotions

Taking advantage of the remaining time at noon, Wang Can and Xia Kewe went to check on the stall location in Cafeteria No. 2.

The wall tiles and glass partitions were already in place; they only needed to move in some kitchen equipment and put up a sign to start business. Wang Can left these miscellaneous tasks directly to Xia Kewe, with his only requirement being the installation of several high-definition, internet-connected cameras.

After recording everything on her phone, Xia Kewe left Shen University in her black high heels to get these arrangements underway.

Wang Can checked the cafeteria clock and saw that there were fifteen minutes left until the assembly. It was clearly too late to return to the dormitory to rest, so he simply headed straight to the military training field.

The afternoon training went on as usual, but this time, Zheng Jun specifically had Yang Shuang bring over two cases of mineral water to distribute to the students. At the same time, he tactfully stopped Shen Hongge and Guo Wanwan from continuing to use gifts to buy people's favor. It wasn't that he was intentionally favoring Yang Shuang, but rather that since school had only just begun, if they started a "material offensive" just for the class monitor election, how would future class activities be carried out? Would the class monitor have to pay out of their own pocket to please classmates every time a task was assigned?

Although they couldn't get freebies anymore, the profligate rich kid Chen Xiaobei still generously treated Dorm 404 to watermelons at the supermarket.

By September, the evenings had lost the sweltering heat of the day, and the night breeze brought a refreshing coolness. This was the time of day the students in military training looked forward to most.

The training intensity on the second day was slightly lower than the day before. After practicing marching for a while, the instructors led the students in singing several popular military songs. As soon as the break time arrived, the drill ground instantly became lively. After adapting to the first day, the students were noticeably more active than the previous night, and the boys gathered in small groups, looking over at the girls from other classes.

The boys from Wang Can’s dormitory had also become familiar with the other boys in the class and were currently gathered together chatting.

"Look over there." Chen Xiaobei suddenly lowered his voice and gestured mysteriously to the left. "That's the beauty from Class 1 I was telling you about."

Following his direction, the group looked over and indeed saw a tall girl with fair skin. Even wearing the baggy military training uniform, one could tell she had a great figure.

"Whoa! Class 1 is hiding such a pretty girl? How did I not notice her before?"
"This level of beauty is definitely on par with Guo Wanwan."
"On par? Look, she’s even a few centimeters taller than Guo Wanwan."
"I know this girl; I think her name is Chu Shuya."
"..."

As the class beauty of Class 1, Guo Wanwan had become the standard by which the boys judged beauty.

Wang Can glanced at Chen Xiaobei and asked curiously, "Dog Bei, you talk about her every day, why don't you go ask for her contact information?"

"Old Wang, you are really quite amateur." Chen Xiaobei smoothed his collar in a leisurely manner, pursed his lips with a feigned air of sophistication, and said, "Remember Brother Bei's words: girls aren't chased, they are attracted."

"You wouldn't happen to be chickening out, would you?" Wang Can said with a look that suggested he saw right through him.

"Bullshit! Would a dignified rich kid like me chicken out?" Chen Xiaobei's earlobes turned bright red instantly. "Old Wang, you and I have different ways of
