Kelsey Zhang was the shortest of the four girls, but still stood at 1.58 meters. Even in her loose T-shirt, she couldn't hide her impressive chest, and with her naturally baby-faced features, she was the classic "baby face with a voluptuous figure."
Kelsey thought for a while but really couldn't remember Ian Song, so she apologized: "Sorry, I really can't recall. What's your name again?"
Ian Song just smiled, unfazed. "It's normal you don't remember. I only studied there for one term, then my parents got transferred for work, so I moved with them to Riverstone City."
Hearing Ian's explanation, Kelsey suddenly understood—no wonder she had no impression of him, since he transferred out after just one term.
"By the way, my name's Ian Song. Let's get reacquainted." As he spoke, Ian reached out his hand to Kelsey.
Kelsey hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand as well, smiling openly. "Nice to meet you, Ian Song. I'm Kelsey Zhang."
With this 'old classmate' connection, their relationship instantly got much closer. Kelsey even took the initiative to introduce Ian to the other three girls: "Ian Song, this is Molly Wang, our dorm's youngest; this is Kelly Wu, our Number Two; and this is Sierra Chen, our big sister."
Molly Wang was the quiet type, standing there very calmly.
Kelly Wu was the most beautiful of the four, with an elegant and generous temperament.
As for Sierra Chen, she was not only the oldest, but also the tallest of the four—she stood a full 1.78 meters—and her personality was pure tomboy. As soon as Kelsey finished the introductions, Sierra slapped Ian on the shoulder and said loudly, "Hey, handsome! Since you're our little third's old classmate, shouldn't you show some gentlemanly spirit and help us beauties carry our stuff?"
"How about this: I have two dorm buddies over there. Why not call them over to help out? Many hands make light work!" Ian Song said with a smile.
"What do you think, girls?" Sierra Chen looked at the other three for their opinion.
"Great! Having handsome guys help is always a plus." Kelsey was the first to clap and agree.
The other two girls didn't object either. After all, they were planning to buy a ton of stuff today, and if it was just the four of them, they'd definitely have to make several trips.
"Handsome, call your buddies over!"
"Sure!"
Ian nodded and waved over Leon Long and Gavin Gan, who immediately jogged over, absolutely impressed by Ian. Damn, he was just supposed to ask for a phone number, but somehow he'd already gotten friendly with four beauties.
After a quick round of introductions, everyone started shopping together.
Although Leon and Gavin were basically just porters, they were having a blast. Ian, on the other hand, ended up empty-handed—not because he was slacking off, but because those two were way too enthusiastic. Plus, they knew Ian already had a girlfriend, so they didn't bother being polite.
Each of the four girls had their own charm. After watching for a while, Ian realized Leon seemed really interested in Kelly Wu, while Gavin had his eye on Sierra Chen, the big sister.
Thanks to the 'old classmate' connection, Kelsey was especially friendly with Ian.
After several hours, Leon and Gavin were each loaded down with at least ten bags of various sizes. This time, even Ian wasn't spared—he had a couple bags in each hand too.
As luck would have it, the four girls were also freshmen at Waterwood University. After delivering their things to the girls' dorm entrance, Leon Long took the initiative and invited them out to dinner.
The girls couldn't refuse this request. After all, Ian and his roommates had been their free labor for hours, so they had to give them this much face.
So, after dropping off their things and changing clothes, the four girls joined Ian and the guys for dinner at the restaurant.
That night, in the boys' dorm.
Ian was lying on his bed reading a book on Eastern Medicine, Gavin was fiddling with his phone on WeChat, and Leon was chatting at his computer. As for Eric Yi, he hadn't come back to the dorm.
"Hey, Leon, which of those girls caught your eye?" Gavin suddenly tossed his phone aside and asked.
"My first target is Kelly Wu, but I probably don't have a shot with her, so my backup is Molly Wang," Leon said after thinking it over.
"Wow, you beast! Eating from the bowl while eyeing the pot," Gavin yelled.
"Did you set your sights on Sierra Chen?" Leon asked with a grin.
Gavin laughed, "Heh, Sierra's from Northwest State too, and her personality is exactly my type! So, I'm going to chase her!"
Suddenly, both of them turned to Ian: "Ian, looks like Kelsey Zhang is into you. She may not be the prettiest, but she's got that classic baby face and voluptuous figure. Don't miss your chance!"
"Get lost! I already have a girlfriend!" Ian replied, annoyed.
"By the way, is your girlfriend at our university?" Leon asked.
"No, she's in Riverstone City."
Leon exaggerated his reaction: "Whoa, you're going for a long-distance relationship? I gotta warn you, the breakup rate for those is super high. I think you should just end it now and find someone new at school."
"Get out, with friends like you!" Ian rolled his eyes, not bothering to respond to the two love-struck idiots.
The other two didn't care, and happily kept gossiping about Sierra Chen and the other three girls.
Meanwhile, in the girls' dorm.
Sierra Chen and the other three girls were chatting together too—and, surprisingly, their topic was Ian and his roommates.
"What do you think of those three guys?" Sierra, as the big sister, spoke up first. "Kelsey, you go first."
Kelly Wu thought for a moment. "Let's start with Ian Song—looks and height, I'd give him a 95."
The other three girls nodded in agreement.
"He talks well, has a good vibe—I'd give him a 90 for that. As for talent, he's the top liberal arts student from Galaxy Province, a classic overachiever, so that's a 99. And I noticed something: unlike Leon and Gavin, when he looks at us, his gaze is clear and pure, with no bad intentions. Not like those two, who are always ogling. For that, I'd give him a 60."
The other three girls, who'd been listening with interest, were puzzled when Kelly only gave a 60 for that last category. Sierra jumped in to ask, "Kelly, why only 60 for that one?"
"Yeah, Kelly, why only 60?" Kelsey echoed.
Kelly just smiled mysteriously. "Aren't we all beauties?"
The other three nodded.
"If we're all beauties, and that guy can stay so calm and not show any interest at all—is that normal?"
"It does seem a little weird!" Sierra nodded again.
"Exactly. Any normal guy wouldn't be able to ignore our looks. But Ian just acts like we're invisible, so I suspect either he's a master manipulator playing hard to get, or he's just not into girls at all—maybe even gay. That's why I gave him a 60."
