The three roommates weren't too surprised to hear that Ye Zhiqiu was going to sing solo; they knew Ye Zhiqiu could sing.
While his skill certainly couldn't compare to Yu Caiwei's, it was, after all, a university student performance-focused evening, and the audience's tolerance was quite high, so he should be fine just getting through it.
After leaving the cafeteria and returning to the dorm, Xie Jun and Yang Hongwei, those two show-offs, started primping. Dorm leader Zhou Hua had a childhood sweetheart girlfriend, so he didn't dare to act out.
Around eight in the evening, the group didn't go far. Right outside the Huahai Media University gate, there was a cultural and creative street with a clear bar called "July." Walking into the clear bar, warm orange lights were scattered artfully on the aisle between the wooden seats. In front of the bar, a resident Singer was humming an unknown song.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly, recognizing it as a well-decorated and stylish clear bar. Besides students from the nearby university, many fashionably dressed city women also frequented the place. Most customers kept their voices low while chatting, making it a good spot to relax and gather with friends.
Xie Jun seemed to know the owner here. After greeting a bearded man, he led the three to a table in the middle of the store.
"Brothers, order whatever you want to drink."
Xie Jun chuckled, casually ordering some fruit platters, snacks, and other items. He and Yang Hongwei, those two sly characters, already had their radar-like gazes discreetly scanning the female customers around the store.
Ye Zhiqiu ordered a high-proof cocktail. In fact, whether in his previous life or now, his alcohol tolerance wasn't great, but for some reason today, he suddenly felt like it wouldn't hurt to get drunk once.
After the drinks arrived, Xie Jun had also preliminarily locked onto a target.
"Look! Three o'clock, those two women in black stockings, what do you think?"
Yang Hongwei took a sip from his glass, discreetly glancing to his front right, then frowned and forced himself to swallow the liquid, commenting: "The makeup is a bit heavy, but the legs can get 70 points."
He added, "Black stockings get an extra 5 points, so a total of 75 points is pretty good."
"Damn it!" Xie Jun said, annoyed, "You've got a whole theory, kid."
"I think it's at least 80 points, right? If girls of this quality only get 75 points, then not many of the ones I dated before would even pass?"
Yang Hongwei shook his head and said, "Second Brother, you have to trust my discerning eye, honed through billions of casualties."
"I told you not to call me Second Brother!" Xie Jun spat, disdainfully, "This is the first time I've heard someone describe masturbation so fresh and refined. So tell me, if these two girls only get 75 points, what level is 100 points?"
Yang Hongwei's spirits immediately lifted. He even pulled back his gaze, which had been constantly stealing glances at the 75-point duo. He put down the pretentious cocktail in his hand and said smugly, "You don't understand, do you? From what I've observed, in reality, I've only seen one person who can reach 100 points."
"Who?"
Hearing that such a person truly existed, Xie Jun's interest was fully piqued, and he played along perfectly. Dorm leader Zhou Hua's interest was also piqued.
Yang Hongwei's gaze was serious, he lowered his voice, and mysteriously uttered three words.
"Yu, Cai, Wei."
Hearing that name, Xie Jun paused slightly, then actually nodded in agreement.
Yang Hongwei analyzed eloquently, "Her appearance goes without saying. After my big data analysis and comparison of countless women, Yu Caiwei's height should be 1.69 meters, and her measurements... it's hard to judge since she often wears casual clothes, but they're definitely not small! Her body proportions are perfect, and those long legs could totally be a leg model!"
Finally, Yang Hongwei concluded: "Others get 75 points because they can only get 75 points, but Yu Caiwei gets 100 points because the full score is only 100 points. It's not even a competition on the same level."
"I agree." Xie Jun was completely convinced. Although he didn't lack girlfriends due to his 'money power,' when it came to theory, he really wasn't as good as the secretly flirtatious Yang Hongwei.
"Since that's the case," Xie Jun continued, "let's not talk about someone as unattainable as Yu Caiwei. Can you help me get the phone numbers of those two 75-point girls?"
"Uh..."
Yang Hongwei, who had just been smugly enjoying Xie Jun's admiring gaze, choked and awkwardly picked up the drink on the table.
Are you kidding me!
It was fun to talk about, but if he really stood in front of those two fashionably dressed older women, he'd probably be so nervous he couldn't breathe properly.
"Damn, why don't you go?" Yang Hongwei said, annoyed at being turned around.
Xie Jun rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not confident either. See that luxury bag? Girls like that are clearly different from those in bars; money alone won't impress them. Once you fail, there's no second chance."
"In my opinion, for this kind of high-stakes game, money isn't the most important thing; it still comes down to looks."
At this point, the two talkative show-offs suddenly fell silent, simultaneously looking at Ye Zhiqiu, who was nonchalantly popping the cherry from his cocktail into his mouth.
"Hmm?" Ye Zhiqiu paused, immediately understanding the two show-offs' intentions, and decisively said, "If you want to play, play by yourselves. Don't drag me into it."
"Don't!"
Xie Jun and Yang Hongwei cried out.
"Fourth Brother, a once-in-a-lifetime request!"
Xie Jun feigned a teary-eyed look and reached for Ye Zhiqiu's hand, who recoiled with a shiver of disgust.
"Second Brother, don't force him. In my opinion, Fourth Brother isn't confident either, so don't make it difficult for him." Yang Hongwei even resorted to provocation.
However, no matter how much they tried to persuade him with both soft and hard tactics, Ye Zhiqiu remained unmoved.
It wasn't that he wasn't interested in beautiful women, but he hadn't even sorted out his own situation yet, so he didn't have the mental capacity for it at the moment.
Eldest Brother Zhou Hua calmly sipped his beer, watching the show.
Xie Jun had a flash of inspiration and suddenly said, "Fourth Brother! If you get their numbers, I'll cancel the money you owe me from using my meal card before, and I'll treat you to free meals for a week."
"All you can eat on the fifth floor of the cafeteria!"
......
Silence...
The restaurant on the fifth floor of the Huahai Media University cafeteria hired outside chefs, so the food was top-notch, and the prices were naturally not cheap.
Most importantly, Ye Zhiqiu's pockets were indeed cleaner than his face right now.
"Three weeks. Wait for it."
Ye Zhiqiu dropped a sentence and got up, walking towards the two whispering city women.
Actually, Ye Zhiqiu in his previous life was a workaholic author; he didn't have much experience in picking up girls. However, the reason for his confidence came from his observation that ever since he entered the store, the two older women's gazes had occasionally been directed at him.
Not just those two older women, Ye Zhiqiu could feel that several other women in the store had secretly looked him over a few times...
The unprecedented and novel experience made Ye Zhiqiu only able to sigh.
Being handsome, what can I do!
