Chapter 118: 118 I’m not, I didn’t (Thanks for the tip! Please vote for me monthly!)

Jiang Chen naturally didn’t know that Li Shu Rui had prepared a big surprise for him.

At that moment, as he studied in the library, he stared at the focused Bai Zheli and couldn’t help but ask a question that had always intrigued him.

"Xiao Bai, why don’t you ever date? Have you not met a girl you like?"

Among the four musketeers of the dormitory, it was hard to decide who was the smartest, but if one were to judge who was the most diligent and studious, it definitely had to be the youngest one.

Although he had been serious about his studies before, he could hardly be said to be "wholehearted." A single phone call from Ai Qian could easily lure him out, but Bai Zheli was different.

This guy was truly the type to be unaware of worldly matters and focused solely on his books, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Once, in order to pass the Level 6 examination, he stayed in the library for half a semester, seemingly uninterested in matters of men and women,

"You’re not into men, are you?"

Jiang Chen intentionally pretended to be anxious.

Bai Zheli looked up from his ’The Wealth of Nations,’ adjusted his black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and smiled shyly as always.

"Chen Ge, don’t you know the saying ’In books, one can find houses of gold, in books, one can find ladies as fair as jade’?"

"Cut the crap."

Jiang Chen let out a wry smile and scolded, "Luo Peng and the others aren’t here, speak the truth to me. We’re about to graduate, don’t you feel any regrets?"

"There’s nothing to regret. I’m neither rich like Luo Ge nor do I provide a sense of security like Li Ge, nor am I warm-hearted like you, Chen Ge... Which girl would like me? Instead of wasting that energy and time, I might as well read more books."

"Warm-hearted, you mean thick-skinned."

Jiang Chen laughed.

Bai Zheli laughed along.

"Actually, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You’re the same, I feel that you’re more outstanding than all three of us."

When Jiang Chen said this, it wasn’t just a courtesy.

People have their obsessions.

That is how they achieve greatness.

Those who can immerse themselves wholeheartedly in something for years are bound to achieve great things in the future.

Because they possess perseverance and determination that others can’t match.

These are the two most important qualities for success.

And Bai Zheli was that kind of person.

Even Jiang Chen sometimes felt that the seemingly least noticeable Bai Zheli in the dorm might end up more successful than the three of them.

"Chen Ge, actually I once pursued a girl."

Bai Zheli suddenly said in a low voice.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, quite surprised, "When did this happen?"

"A long time ago, not long after we had started our freshman year. Don’t tell Luo Ge and the others."

"Don’t worry."

Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Then what happened?"

"Well."

Bai Zheli sighed, "I beat around the bush to get her contact details, but after just a few sentences, she ignored me, and I didn’t dare to bother her again."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile, "You call this pursuit?"

Bai Zheli wanted to speak but hesitated.

"Brother Chen, let me say something, but please don’t get angry, okay?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Go ahead."

Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses.

"I think that nowadays, girls are being held in too high regard."

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"I read in a book that the most horrifying tactic in the world is flattery to the point of destruction, where someone is praised to such heights that their character cannot sustain it, leading them to become arrogant, frivolous, and self-righteous. Oftentimes, people in this state are prone to making big mistakes. That’s how girls are being treated now."

Jiang Chen found it thought-provoking, "Go on."

"Due to their intricate thoughts, girls generally surpass boys of the same age in emotional intelligence and maturity by leaps and bounds, which is a natural fact. But now, more and more girls have issues that are no longer about establishing self-confidence, nor even about treating themselves better. Their biggest problem has become taking themselves too seriously.

With the current online environment, as long as a girl isn’t downright odious, she will receive no shortage of adoration and praise. This has evolved into a culture where any man who displeases her is labeled a ’straight male cancer,’ a good-looking girl is inherently a big spender, and in romantic disputes, the boyfriend is always considered childish and ridiculous.

Some unscrupulous media, in order to coax these girls into clicking on more sponsored content and buying their questionable facial masks, are willing to cross the line and push the girls up to the status of goddesses, making them feel superior and as though the world should revolve around them."

And then, what kind of men are worthy of them? They must be strong and domineering, yet gentle and attentive; worldly, yet pure; successful in their careers, yet family-oriented and nurturing; charming and handsome, yet devoted and faithful.

If a man fails to meet their expectations in the slightest, then no man is good, all men are liars, all men are pigs. Throw in a few girlfriends who are adept at fanning the flames, and it leads to a situation where the girl becomes completely closed off to differing perspectives, living in a fantasy every day."

Jiang Chen laughed ruefully. He had always thought Bai Zheli was indifferent to love, but in reality, perhaps Bai Zheli simply had too deep an understanding of it.

"Xiao Bai, you’re not talking about Ai Qian, are you?"

"I’m not, I didn’t."

Bai Zheli hastily shook his head.

"Actually, not all girls are like that, there are still good girls out there."

Although Bai Zheli denied it, his own failed romantic experiences must have influenced him to some extent. If as a result, Bai Zheli had developed a resistance to girls, Jiang Chen would feel terribly guilty.

"I know, Brother Chen, don’t worry. I’m just worried about those girls."

"Worried?"

"Think about it, during the golden age from 18 to 28, any girl of average looks will more or less enjoy the pursuits and favor of various boys. That’s inevitable, no matter how greedy or indulgent they are. But what about when they surpass the advantageous age period?"

"They never stop to ask themselves a question: If one day they lose the advantage of youth, how many people will still treat them the same?"

Bai Zheli said, "All gifts of fate are secretly priced—the Queen of Spades."

"You should give a lecture to all the girls in school."

Jiang Chen exclaimed.

"Brother Chen, please don’t put me in that position, I’m afraid of getting scolded to death."

"Golden words indeed."

Jiang Chen laughed, "If every girl could have your awareness, that would be great."

"That’s why I’m not in a hurry. At my age, it’s the most miserable time for boys, while the girls are in their prime. Why should I wade into muddy waters? Something like the college entrance exam, once is enough. Instead of wasting time, I’d rather arm myself with more knowledge. Luo Ge often says, ’No girl stays eighteen forever, but there will always be eighteen-year-old girls.’"

Looking at Bai Zheli’s shy smile, Jiang Chen was left speechless with laughter.
