Chapter 18

Although the boys were eager to meet their female classmates, the sound of high-pitched giggles and laughter gave them the jitters even before they could enter the classroom.

Of course, it was the same for the girls. They kept glancing sideways at the boys as the latter walked in. In the end, both parties sat in their own groups, separated by gender.

Both boys and girls sneaked peeks at each other, trying to spot any handsome boys or pretty girls in the class. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy to do since they were all clad in military uniform that masked their distinguishing features.

“Are the girls in our class the worst in the department?” Guo Shaoqiang had already sobered up as he worried.

“It’s possible. The senior I saw when I signed up yesterday was very charming. But look at the girls we got in our class.” Yang Shichao sighed.

Chen Hansheng almost wanted to laugh. One should not be quick to judge.

The girls in their class were actually the best-looking ones of all. One of them was even comparable to Xiao Rongyu.

“I’ll go get acquainted with them. Who wants to join me?” asked Chen Hansheng.

A few cowards shook their heads. They were just like Wang Zibo, all talk but no walk.

Chen Hansheng ignored them as he tidied up his hair. Then, he stood up, walked over with a smile, and struck up a conversation with Hu Linyu. “Hey, Linyu, we meet again.”

Hu Linyu was chatting with her roommates who were starting to get worried over the lack of courage and initiative among the boys in their department. Why weren’t any of them brave enough to approach them?

Thus, when Chen Hansheng walked over to her, Hu Linyu was a little surprised. Then, she turned to the girls around her and said, “Look, everyone. Even though we have twenty-seven boys in our class, only handsome Hansheng dares to approach us.”

The girls had not met Chen Hansheng before and automatically started to check him out.

Chen Hansheng took the initiative to introduce himself. “My name is Chen Hansheng. I’m from Port City. Are there any beauties who are from the same hometown as me?”

“Ah, I am.”

A girl immediately raised her hand.

Hu Linyu then made a suggestion. “Tan Min, now you have a companion when you return to your hometown.”

Chen Hansheng had long known that Tan Min was from Port City. However, the thirty-five-year-old Hansheng did not interact much with her back in university. Although she was good-looking, she did not meet Chen Hansheng’s standards. Thus, the two of them had only regarded each other as fellow classmates and countrymen.

Tan Min’s roommate started to tease them. “When the time comes, whose house are we going to go to? Minmin’s or Hansheng’s?”

Tan Min turned shy and wanted to cover up the girl’s mouth, causing the other girls to laugh.

And just like that, Chen Hansheng had successfully interacted with the girls in his class. His roommates looked at him with jealousy and envy.

“This Chen Hansheng must have had many relationships in high school. Look at how easily he handled things. He’s definitely a veteran,” said Yang Shichao with certainty.

“Obviously. Girls like guys like him – a little bad and a little ruffian. It’s a pity that good boys like us don’t stand a chance anymore.” Jin Yangming agreed with Yang Shichao.

Yang Shichao scoffed and thought to himself, ‘If you’re a good boy, then I’m Buddha.’

Hu Linyu was already aiming to be the class president. She might not have thought it through but it was good to take risks. Besides, she had already planned to introduce Hansheng to the girls.

There were twenty-seven males and twenty-seven females in Public Administration Class 2. It was a one-to-one ratio, which was something that had been predetermined by the university heads to keep things balanced.

The School of Finance and Economics was founded by merging the School of Accounting and School of Management in Sudong Province. Although it was still a second-tier school, the School of Finance and Economics still had quite a good reputation in the province. Thus, the gender ratio, among others, had to be balanced.
