The Hua University freshmen ball took place at night, and while attendance wasnât mandatory for all freshmen, many saw it as an opportunity to immerse themselves in campus life and forge new social bonds.
Among the six girls in Gu Yangâs class, only Ning Gui opted to stay in the dormitory.
Su Ziyun paid a visit to Dorm 606 to find Tong Jiayin. Despite their past disagreements, they quickly set them aside.
Observing Tong Jiayin applying makeup with an array of expensive cosmetics on the table, Su Ziyun complimented her, âJiayin, your eye shadow looks stunning. Could I borrow it?â
Tong Jiayin casually fetched an unused box of eye shadow from her drawer and tossed it onto the table. âThis oneâs for you. Iâm not really into sharing my cosmetics.â
Su Ziyunâs smile faltered, but she accepted the eye shadow box graciously. âThank you, Jiayin.â
Tong Jiayin huffed, âNo need to thank me. I wonât be using it anyway, so you might as well take it.â
Su Ziyun clutched the eye shadow box tightly, glancing over at Tong Jiayinâs elaborate makeup setup.
Seeing that Gu Yang and Gu Jin were not preparing any makeup, Su Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they werenât planning to attend the ball.
Thatâs true. Knowing Gu Jinâs personality, she wouldnât be inclined to join in the festivities.
Gu Yang had always been close to her, so naturally, she wouldnât leave Gu Jin behind to attend the ball alone.
However, when she caught sight of Qiao Manman dressed seductively and provocatively, she couldnât help but stare.
During their military training, everyone wore loose-fitting clothes, so she hadnât noticed Qiao Manmanâs figure before.
She approached Qiao Manman with a hint of embarrassment and remarked, âManman, isnât your outfit a bit revealing?â
Qiao Manman looked at herself in the full-length mirror and turned around. âIâm not showing off anything.â
Her attire was actually quite modest compared to some of the options in her wardrobe.
She stood before Gu Yang, placed one hand on her hip, and puffed out her chest, raising her eyebrows. âYangyang, do I look good?â
Gu Yang nodded enthusiastically. âYes!â
âAs long as itâs pretty, itâs all good.â Qiao Manman flicked her hair back over her shoulder.
Su Ziyun couldnât help but voice her concern, âWearing such revealing clothes might attract unwanted attention and gossip, especially with people from outside the school around. You should be careful.â
Qiao Manman applied lipstick while looking at herself in the mirror. She disliked being lectured on her attire. âItâs not the Qing Dynasty anymore. I have the freedom to dress as I like.â
Gu Yang didnât appreciate Su Ziyunâs comment. âBeing cautious and dressing beautifully arenât mutually exclusive. No matter how attractive someone is, it doesnât justify any wrongdoing.â
Qiao Manman nodded in agreement, though she playfully pretended to reach for Gu Yangâs face with teasing intent. Under Gu Jinâs cool gaze, she quickly withdrew her hand, feeling slightly embarrassed.
âIâve arranged to dance with a guy. Iâll see you later,â Qiao Manman bid farewell to Gu Yang and Gu Jin.
Once Qiao Manman left, Su Ziyun couldnât help but sigh. âManman is so lucky with guys. Sheâs barely started school and already knows all the boys in her class.â
During military training, Su Ziyun had also made efforts to integrate with the male students in her class, but she didnât connect with them as effortlessly as Qiao Manman did.
Given the male-dominated composition of the Physics Department, establishing good relationships with the male students was crucial for future interactions.
Gu Yang felt Su Ziyun was overthinking things and didnât engage further with her.
Shortly after, Gu Yang and Gu Jin also headed to the freshmen ball venue.
After half a month of military training, despite most members of the No.1 Middle School Group being at Hua University, they hadnât had the chance to meet up until now. They were using the new student ball as an opportunity to reunite.
