Huh?
Sun Jialin’s words threw Lin Shen for a loop, and his expression turned strange.
’I just randomly picked a seat, and the person next to me happens to be Qingqing’s roommate?’
’The campus of Shanghai International Studies University is way too small!’
’Still, this roommate of Qingqing’s is quite pretty.’
’Is this the "beautiful people flock together" effect?’
Lin Shen was reminded of his own university days, when the campus queen, department belles, and a host of other beauties all lived in the same dorm.
They went out together every day, a truly beautiful sight on campus.
"You know Gu Wanqing?"
Sun Jialin asked in surprise. Lin Shen had no choice but to answer truthfully, sticking to the identity he and Jiang Wan had agreed upon.
"Yes, I’m her older brother."
"Older brother?"
Sun Jialin blinked her pretty eyes, a hint of surprise on her face.
’When did Gu Wanqing get such a handsome brother?’
’Why didn’t she say so sooner!’
"Um..."
Just as Sun Jialin was about to ask Lin Shen more questions, one of her roommates suddenly poked her on the shoulder.
"Linlin, what’s up? Do you know the person next to you?"
"Tsk!"
Annoyed at being interrupted while talking to Lin Shen, Sun Jialin clicked her tongue, clearly displeased. Still, she patiently introduced everyone.
"These two are Qingqing’s and my roommates, Zhou Min and Wang Meng. They’re both freshmen in the English department."
"And this is Qingqing’s older brother, uh..."
Only then did Sun Jialin realize she hadn’t asked for Lin Shen’s name yet. She looked at him with eyes full of expectation.
"Can I ask your name?"
"Lin Shen."
Lin Shen smiled and shook hands with Gu Wanqing’s roommates.
"Nice to meet you. Thanks for taking care of my sister."
"Nice to meet you, too!"
Perhaps because Lin Shen’s handsome features were practically supermodel-level, it was obvious that Zhou Min and Wang Meng were a little nervous when they shook his hand.
Sun Jialin, however, was the first to get comfortable. Once the conversation started, she began to chat casually.
"Did you come specially to see Qingqing’s performance?"
"Mhm."
Lin Shen chuckled lightly.
"I heard she has a solo song. I’ve never actually heard her sing formally, so I thought I’d come and see."
"Then how did you get in?"
Sun Jialin was a bit puzzled.
"People from outside the university aren’t supposed to be able to get in, right?"
"I pulled some strings."
Lin Shen once again made a shushing gesture at Sun Jialin, then half-jokingly said,
"Just don’t call security and have them throw me out."
"How could I do that? You’re Qingqing’s brother."
Sun Jialin quickly waved her hands. This behavior, so different from her usual self, left her two roommates completely stunned.
’Since when was Linlin so friendly to strangers?’
Although they had only known Sun Jialin for half a month, Zhou Min and Wang Meng had already figured out her personality.
Cool and aloof.
She liked to walk around alone with her headphones on, often keeping her distance from the main group.
She was a girl with a lot of personality.
On top of that, she was pretty, tall, and had a great, fashionable sense of style.
She didn’t look like a naive, inexperienced freshman, but more like a junior who had been on campus for years.
Although she was a slight step down from Gu Wanqing in most aspects, she was still considered a well-known department belle in the English department.
