It seems like universities in many cities have this thing called a hometown association.

Usually, they organize activities during holidays not long after the new semester starts.

Su Zelin pondered briefly and made a response.

Just One Year Old and Handsome: "Not going, we're also having a dorm dinner for Mid-Autumn Festival."

After replying, he continued surfing the internet.

"The Olympics in Snow City are nearing their end, and Xia Country has now won 22 gold medals in Kangaroo Country!"

"Wancheng City's self-financed construction of the first highway will be completed and open on the 28th of this month!"

"The International Olympiad in Informatics opens in the capital!"

"..."

News websites nowadays are quite serious, unlike the self-media news in the future that often goes with "Shocking!" and clickbait titles.

For example, a certain future self-media news website.

"Pull it out, don't sleep with it plugged in, 22-year-old beauty dies, 99% of men and women surprisingly do this....."

Isn't it tempting to click through?

After clicking, sorry, it's some girl's accidental death caused by charging her phone at night.

Or "Disabled man overwhelmed with desire actually does this with his aunt!"

This simply captures human psychology dead-on, makes you itch to peek.

When you open it, damn, it's an ad for the new version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

"Young models bare it all at the international auto show, scene gets severely out of control!"

It's a tractor ad, with two naked kids sitting on a tractor.

"Leonardo and his girlfriend's relationship ends, because she pushed too hard!"

Well, that might be true, such a pure-minded person like me didn't think anything wrong.

For attention, future clickbait has no baseline, people who click in have the urge to curse the author's ancestors for eighteen generations.

So experienced netizens would directly close the tab whenever they see "Shocking" or "Surprisingly" and those exaggerated headlines, without thinking.

Having been poisoned by future self-media clickbait, Su Zelin felt that today's internet news pages are refreshingly clean.

While browsing pleasantly.

"Knock knock knock..."

The notification sound for a friend's online status rang out, and then Qin Shiqing's avatar lit up.

Qing Mei has logged on.

Before long, a new message came through.

Sunny Day: "Can you come over after your dorm dinner? The hometown association's activities last quite a while, besides dinner, there's a barbecue and moon-gazing, which might go on until past ten in the evening."

This message was quite long but sent fast, almost arriving within ten seconds of logging in, and Su Zelin guessed it was Xiao Yue who typed it.

Qin Shiqing's typing speed wasn't that fast.

After adding Xiao Yue last time, it felt like she was a bit distant while chatting and logged off early.

Su Zelin pondered for a long time and finally guessed the reason.

In the past, both Xiao Yue and he himself had computers as soon as they entered university, but she brought a laptop.

The campus network at Zhejiang University was quickly accessible, so she was already connected and might have been online in the dorm while Qin Shiqing was beside her, making Xiao Yue mistakenly think that he and Qing Mei were a couple, so she kept her distance.

Later, he obliquely asked Xiao Yue about it, and she admitted to it.

Just One Year Old and Handsome: "Even after dinner, I can't."

Sunny Day: "Why?"

Just One Year Old and Handsome: "We have dorm activities after our dinner too!"

Sunny Day: "Activities?"

This term hasn't become popular online yet, even the old netizen Xiao Yue didn't know what it meant.

Just One Year Old and Handsome: "It's a group activity to enhance roommate intimacy!"

Room 302 indeed had activities, going to an internet cafe to play CS together.

But such an activity was optional and not important.

The most important thing was, Su Zelin intended to maintain some distance from Qing Mei after entering university.

Sunny Day: "Can you skip this dorm activity and come to the hometown association?"

Just One Year Old and Handsome: "How can I, dorm bonding is crucial, honestly, since I'll be spending most of the next four years with my roommates, building a good relationship is necessary. Besides, we already agreed on this, can't just back out when I want, why didn't you notify me earlier!"

Sunny Day: "Well, I also only got the notice last night and messaged you right away."

Qin Shiqing knew Qing Mei would log into QQ every morning, so she didn't call, and since there were still several days before Mid-Autumn, she wasn't in a rush.

Just One Year Old and Handsome: "Got it, then you go with Haozi and Xiaoyanzi, I'll sit this one out!"

Sunny Day: "Alright then..."

After a few more exchanges, there was no more response from Su Zelin's side.

Zhejiang University, girls' dorm.

"Shiqing, Su Zelin is flirty with everyone except he's excessively proper with you!"

Xiao Yue couldn't hold back.

She was the one who helped Qin Shiqing reply just now, so she knew all the details.

From their brief encounter in the dorm on her register day and the online conversations, she judged that this guy is a pro at flirting with girls, very slick.

Yet he's not flirting with a beautiful childhood friend, being well-behaved is too strange.

She had asked Qin Shiqing about this before, and the explanation was that Su Zelin felt they were too familiar with nothing much to talk about, but Xiao Yue thought it was just an excuse.

"Besides, I always feel like he's avoiding you!"

Xiao Yue's intuition was sharp, sensing something.

Avoiding?

Qin Shiqing fell into contemplation.

She actually considered this possibility.

Since shortly before the college entrance exams, Qing Mei seemed a bit off.

All of a sudden, he became highly motivated and was pushing her to get into Peking University.
