Jing Yang was clearly pleased with Shen Li's compliment; a smirk played on his lips as he pushed his sunglasses up to his head.

"It's alright, mainly in terms of temperament, I've always had a pretty good grasp of it since I was a kid."

He began to pack his things slowly and deliberately, his movements intentionally carrying a theatrical air.

One moment she'd place several bottles of skincare products in incomprehensible English on the most prominent spot on the table, and the next she'd "inadvertently" reveal the watch on her wrist that gleamed with a cold light.

Dai Xiao looked up from behind the computer screen, adjusted his glasses, glanced at Jing Yang, then turned back to his computer with a blank expression.

His fingers were typing faster on the keyboard, probably because he was complaining on the forum that his "new roommate is like a peacock incarnate".

Yang Yi, being honest, leaned closer to look at Jing Yang's bottles and jars: "Jing Yang, what are all these? Face creams? So many?"

"Even basic grooming needs to be refined for men."

Jing Yang picked up a bottle, shook it, and said, "This serum was brought back from London and is specially formulated for Asian skin."

The tone was as if he were introducing some rare treasure.

Shen Li suppressed a laugh on the upper bunk. Well, the dormitory ecosystem was beginning to take shape: the honest and simple Yang Yi, the tech-savvy and nerdy Dai Xiao, and the dazzling and dramatic "Jing Versailles Yang" in front of her.

It looks like the next four years of dormitory life won't be boring.

Just as he was pondering this, Jingyang finished tidying up, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and began to "care" about his roommate:

"Hey guys, how's the first class meeting tonight? I heard our class is full of beauties, I was overwhelmed with choices during registration."

Yang Yi scratched his head: "What preparations? Just go, and meet some new classmates."

Dai Xiao: "I'm not going. There's a live stream of the new student system briefing."

Jing Yang looked at Dai Xiao with an expression that said, "This kid is hopeless," then turned to Shen Li: "Shen Li, what about you? Do you have any strategic plans?"

Shen Li peeked out from the top bunk, her face sincere: "Strategy? I just wanted to dress neatly, so as not to embarrass the dorm. As for pretty girls..."

He paused deliberately, lowering his voice.

"I saw quite a lot when I arrived; they were all like fairies descended from heaven, their figures and faces were absolutely stunning! But since we're new here, we should keep a low profile, observe carefully, and take things one step at a time, right, Young Master Jing?"

The address "Young Master Jing" made Jing Yang feel completely at ease. He waved his hand, feigning modesty.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if there are more or less, they're all classmates. But Shen Li, you're right, we need to keep a low profile. Gold will always shine, and handsome guys... will always be discovered."

After saying that, he even flipped his hair, thinking he looked very cool.

Shen Li nodded repeatedly, secretly laughing to herself: This guy is definitely a "histrionic personality," he's bound to be the life of the dorm's comedian from now on.

But it's all good. With him drawing fire in front, I can observe secretly and quietly... ponder my money-making plan.

In the evening, a class meeting was held in a lecture hall.

Shen Li pulled Yang Yi along, followed by Jing Yang, who stood tall and proud as if he were walking a red carpet, and together they entered the classroom.

As expected, Dai Xiao didn't come; he stayed in the dormitory, dancing with code.

The classroom was already quite full, filled with the buzzing of conversations mixed with the smells of various perfumes and shampoos.

Shen Li glanced around and, wow, the "peach-butt" girl and the "fitness beauty" she had met that afternoon were all there, along with many more unfamiliar faces.

With their diverse figures, each possessing their own unique charm, it was truly a visual feast.

Some have exquisite makeup and alluring eyes, some are pure and lovely, some have hot figures and daring outfits, and some have a cool and aloof temperament, making them unapproachable.

Each one of them is like a meticulously crafted work of art; sitting there, they are a beautiful sight to behold.

The counselor was a capable-looking young female teacher who gave a welcoming speech and outlined some important points. Then came the classic self-introduction segment.

When it was Shen Li's turn, he stood up, a perfectly timed, slightly shy yet genuine smile on his face.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Li, and I come from an ordinary family. I'm very happy to be classmates with you all. I have a friendly personality and enjoy observing life. I hope to learn from all of you outstanding classmates and make progress together over the next four years."

His sincere tone and humble attitude instantly won him a lot of goodwill (especially from several female classmates who seemed rather quiet).

When it was Jing Yang's turn, the style was completely different.

He stood up, cleared his throat, as if about to deliver an important speech:

"Hello classmates, I am Jingyang. Jing means scenery, and Yang means flying. My dream is to become a real actor and illuminate life with my performance."

I personally admire Stanislavski's acting system, and I also have some knowledge of method acting. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, photography, and appreciating fine wine. I hope that in the future, I can exchange acting ideas with everyone and jointly pursue the true meaning of art.

After he finished speaking, the classroom was quiet for a few seconds, then polite applause broke out, interspersed with a few soft chuckles.

When Shen Li saw the girl with the "peach butt" in the front row, her shoulders visibly trembled.

Yang Yi's introduction was much simpler and more unpretentious, but also quite endearing.

After going through all the introductions, Shen Li jotted down a few more notes in her mental notebook: who looked well-off, who might have some connections, who was outgoing, who was introverted, and who had a shifty look in their eyes during their self-introduction—they might have a story to tell…

Of course, more importantly, it was about which female students received more attention from male students during their introductions.

These are all "resource points" that may need to be analyzed in the future for "strategic engagement," or "friends" with whom in-depth exchanges can be made.

After the meet-and-greet ended, everyone went back to their dormitories.

On the way back, Jingyang was still reminiscing: "Hey, Shen Li, did you see that girl in the blue dress? What was her name again? Her aura was amazing! And that cool-looking girl with short hair, her figure is just too good!"

Yang Yi chimed in, "They're all quite good-looking."

Shen Li listened with a smile, occasionally interjecting, "It's pretty good. But Young Master Jing, this is only the first day, we have a long way to go. Good things come to those who wait, and good... uh, good classmates are worth getting to know better."

What he was really thinking was: there are many beautiful women, but they are probably surrounded by even more "wolves and tigers" and "resource competition".

Judging by appearances alone is useless; we must look beyond the surface to see the essence: who are mutually beneficial "partners," who are "opponents" requiring careful handling, and who are "target customers" who could bring "economic benefits"...

All of this takes time, information, and, more importantly, Shen Li's "logically meticulous" little brain to analyze and judge.

Back in 512, Dai Xiao was still working hard in front of his computer, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Jingyang began to plan his outfit for tomorrow with great interest, and how to "accidentally" bump into the female classmate he had his eye on today on campus.

Yang Yi then started calling home to let them know he was safe.

Shen Li climbed into her bed; the day had been incredibly busy.

New environment, new faces, new challenges, and... new...
