Chapter 27

  Mid-term exams, including compulsory and elective courses, a total of eleven subjects at once!

  It's said that there are several students in the law department who insist on taking a minor in English (translation), but none of them are classmates with Chen Huacheng. In their class, there are more boys than girls, and only ten people took minors in other majors, all of which were either computer science or international trade. Adding to that, there's only one girl named Huang Lingyun who is a bit strange in the same dormitory, as a result, Chen Huacheng gets along slightly better with students from neighboring classes.

  "Chen Haoteng, you seem to never watch movies." Thanks to Chen Haoteng for helping several other classmates from the same department choose some articles with similar content in English news, that boy was scratching his ears and thinking of ways to thank him.

  。

  "Hmm, nothing interesting to see. Homework is a lot."

  "Sigh, we originally wanted to invite you to watch a movie."

  "No need, just send me a packet of instant coffee together and we're square." Both sides were satisfied with the deal.

  "Oh, okay!" In private, some familiar classmates who were taking the same elective course thought that Chen Huacheng was not very sociable but had good grades, looked decent but didn't dress well, and although he couldn't be called a "lone wolf", he belonged to the category of being a bit lonely and introverted.

  Even if it's easy to get by, maintaining consistently good grades is quite difficult.

  Who in the neighboring class is dating, or who is having an affair with a senior sister from another department, and who is suspected of being with a middle-aged man driving a BMW... Modern students are either gossiping about someone's true love story with a beautiful girl or boy, or they mock poverty but not prostitution.

  Fortunately, the mid-term exam results were quite satisfactory, especially in translation, where she got an excellent grade - not because her translation level was high, but because she stood out among a group of poor performers.

  With a good mood, Chen Huai-sheng has been running more in the morning these days and has run around the shaded path several times. As a result, he saw at least two pairs of young lovers being affectionate out of the corner of his eye.

  Whether these people end up happy or in a tragic ending, it's none of her business. And from what she remembers, um, the memories are a bit fuzzy, but it seems that when they were both in their senior year, they felt that each other's work and family situations were similar, so they ended up together...

  "Hmm, that one pair, where the girl who is dressed a bit less looks a bit like... Lian Xiangyu? Can't tell that this little fatty has some skills."

  At noon, when Chen Huan returned to change his textbook, he saw Lian Xiangyu. She had changed into a thicker coat, but the tightly wrapped pants were still the same. Now he was more certain that it was indeed Lian Xiangyu whom he had seen in the morning. This girl hadn't returned home all night. However, this didn't concern him; after all, she was already an adult.

  Chen Hua Tang made a small half cup of tea, said "I'm leaving", took the bag and left, as if he didn't see Lian Xiang Yu's little eyes.

  In the evening, in the library's hot water room, Chen Huaisheng ran into Pang Hua again.

  "Wait, come over here." Chen Xiao Cheng stopped him, "Come a bit closer."

  His face didn't look good

  It seems it's not just a skin problem anymore. "Have you taken your medicine tea?"

  "I... I was just going to get a match." A big boy with a fairly high head and not narrow shoulders, now looked like a little daughter-in-law, dawdling and hesitant, with a guilty look.

  Chen Hua Cheng furrowed his brow, "Your teacup, open it."

  "Hmm, such a good stainless steel thermos cup, and it's just plain water. She took out her small tea leaf container, poured some lotus green tea into it. 'You go take a look if there's a pharmacy nearby, get the medicine yourself, and make some tea to drink.'"

  “……”

  She narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a moment. His insincere murmurs of agreement were clearly not going to translate into action. "Forget it, if you don't treasure your own face, nobody else can... You'll only start taking care of yourself when you can't get a pretty girlfriend."

  She was originally looking at them as classmates, and also because she had jinxed herself back then, so she was more diligent. But on one hand, she didn't have any resources or money, and on the other hand, this guy wasn't in a hurry either. It's none of her business!

  "Eh, Chen Huai Sheng, I... really often forget. But I use nose strips frequently, so it's also very comfortable for myself to look at. Hmm, I also often get acne, and directly apply tea tree oil on my own, but this kind of hard, embedded-in-the-skin acne, applying anything doesn't work..." Pang Hua was forced into a corner, confessing everything.

  There were several students who saw a boy and a girl standing very close together talking, so they came over to listen in on the gossip, especially the girls. However, when they saw Pang Hua pointing at an acne that was a bit disgusting, they walked away.

  The next day, a girl from the same class but different dormitory came over and asked: "I heard you have a boyfriend who isn't very good-looking?"

  "I? Where do I have time to make friends? And I'm not interested in little boys." Chen Hui simply didn't participate much in chats usually. She wasn't one who wouldn't talk nonsense, it's just that when she did, people couldn't handle it.

  "......Uh, isn't this real?"

  "No."

  "Oh, really? I heard you're with a guy who has acne scars?"

  "Acne... is it ruining my looks?" Chen Huan laughed so hard he fell onto the table. "Yeah, he's a high school classmate of mine, from the physics department. Originally his face was even more terrifying, with red and white bumps all over, it was really disgusting to look at. During that time I was researching how to get rid of acne because I would occasionally get some myself, so I gave him a lot of suggestions."

  His face has improved a bit now, but boys are all very lazy and don't want to spend time taking care of themselves or drinking medicinal tea every day.

  Is he from the Physics department? All the girls who were eavesdropping let out a sigh of relief. Ugly, physics, and no rumors about him showing off his wealth by driving a fancy car, so he must be an ordinary person. That means he won't trigger anyone's jealousy. But, acne? A few of them who didn't have acne left, while those with acne gathered around to get a closer look.

  "What?! You have acne too? But your skin looks great!" The girl reached out to touch, "Chen Huai Sheng, your skin is really good! How do you take care of it? Even without makeup, it looks great... What products do you use on your face normally?"

  Touch a few more times, confirm no makeup. This time the enthusiasm is high and can't be blocked.

  Chen Haotian was straightforward and dictated, letting everyone record for themselves. From acne gel to aloe vera, high, medium and low-end products were all covered.

  During this time, someone quickly brought over a bottle of milk tea for her to quench her thirst.

  But Chen Huaisheng only mentioned a little, essential oils, skin replacement, laser, nanoneedle... these familiar things were too troublesome and too expensive for the girls.

  "Don't forget to apply sunscreen." She glanced at some classmates with light, irregular spots on their faces, "It's easy to get freckles when you're tanned. SPF 20 is enough for this kind of weather. In the summer, you must use SPF 30 and protect against both UVA and UVB rays, and it has to be PA+++.

  Some girls are lost in thought, some dizzy and faint. But these have no effect on their determination to improve their appearance.

  "Chen Haotian, why don't you find someone with a bit of financial stability and better looks?" A girl from the neighboring class asked with a hint of sourness. "Someone who can pay for things, use good brands, it's better than struggling to make cheap stuff like you!"

  "Are you kidding me? You've been watching too many romantic comedies! I don't even have a boyfriend. And those rich and handsome guys who are looking for female university students, they're already married with kids, just looking for some cheap thrill. Many matchmaking agencies are just scams, trying to swindle money from naive girls. I can take care of myself, why would I want to rely on some sugar daddy? Besides, those self-proclaimed rich guys might be deeply in debt, and when they get bored with you, they'll disappear, leaving you with a kid and no father..."

  She spoke without any concern for modesty or pretentiousness, saying whatever was unpleasant, and the girl's eyes turned red as she ran away.

  "It's true, if you want to find someone, why bother listening to me talk about my experience." Chen Xiao Cheng muttered softly, not even bothering to consider the consequences.
