My Co-renting Lady Boss
Chapter 1743 - 1742: Everyone Has Needs
"So you’re coming to my dorm? No way, no way, if you really come to my dorm, my three roommates will devour you, leaving nothing for me."
Zhou Xiaoqian quickly shook her head.
"Ahem, ahem, Xiaoqian, you’re Dafu’s sister, which makes you my sister, I..."
"But I’m a woman, right?"
Zhou Xiaoqian cocked her head and looked at Tang Ming earnestly. "Don’t blame me for being wild, it’s mainly because in this environment any girl would go crazy. It’s quite amazing that I’ve kept myself chaste for a year and a half; after all, I have needs too."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ming almost choked on his own blood. It’s hard to imagine the purity he saw in Zhou Xiaoqian before; now she’s way too forward!
"Freshman year doesn’t count; we were just starting college and didn’t understand anything back then, managed to get through it. But these past six months have been tough."
Zhou Xiaoqian fiddled with her clothes, her face blushing as she spoke, "My dorm sisters talk about relationships every day, and even bring boys over to sleep. You understand that kind of situation, right?"
"Boys stay overnight in the girls’ dorm too?"
Tang Ming exclaimed.
"Yes, since the dorms are mixed, boys sneaking in is quite normal."
Zhou Xiaoqian nodded and sighed helplessly. "Many girls can’t find boyfriends in school, so they look elsewhere or in society, and then bring the boyfriends to sleep over in the dorm to save hotel money."
"That’s just too..."
Tang Ming pouted, completely speechless.
"But boys generally won’t stay in the girls’ dorm; they bring girls to their dorms because there was an incident before."
Zhou Xiaoqian blushingly lowered her head in embarrassment.
"What incident?"
Tang Ming became interested.
"A boy stayed overnight in the girls’ dorm and was sent to the hospital the next day. Allegedly tormented by four girls and given drugs, so boys are pretty scared now."
Zhou Xiaoqian awkwardly explained, "Fortunately, in our medical field, it’s a bit better since we have more boys."
"Haha, that’s quite a story."
Tang Ming couldn’t help but marvel.
"Actually, it’s not so strange; female colleges rank second most lacking men, so girls here are quite proactive or they’d never find boyfriends." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Zhou Xiaoqian sighed.
"Rank second? Then what’s the top-ranked place, a brothel?"
Tang Ming asked curiously, thinking that this place was terrifying enough, and wondered if there was an even scarier place.
"The top place is a women’s prison. If a man is put in there, it wouldn’t be as simple as hospitalization; he’d probably be devoured."
Zhou Xiaoqian replied with a laugh.
"I... I give up."
Tang Ming nodded weirdly, considering that the women in prison are all adults and likely even more open-minded than students.
"Then I’ll stay in your dorm in the future; after all, I have needs too, we can help each other out."
Zhou Xiaoqian looked expectantly at Tang Ming. "Although I’m outstanding, I dare say I’m the youngest in the school, as I skipped two grades."
"That might be... I’m afraid I can’t explain it to your brother."
Tang Ming seemed troubled.
"No worries, he’d be happy for us. Besides, we’re just living together first, not doing anything is also good."
Zhou Xiaoqian smiled nonchalantly.
"Why is that?"
Tang Ming felt confused.
"Because I wouldn’t be laughed at anymore! You know how embarrassing it is to have no boyfriend at school, right?"
Zhou Xiaoqian shook her head in frustration, "Having a boyfriend in this place is prestigious and proves one’s charm."
"Haha, with your conditions now, you shouldn’t be short of boyfriends?"
Tang Ming looked Zhou Xiaoqian over weirdly; she had grown into a beauty and should be quite popular, right?
"But I’m picky, I don’t like ordinary men, rare to find someone I fancy."
Zhou Xiaoqian gazed intently at Tang Ming.
"Haha, I’m truly honored."
Tang Ming felt so awkward he didn’t know what to say. On second thought, keeping Zhou Xiaoqian around means less bother from other girls and no ridicule from his dorm’s trio, so it’s not unfeasible.
But first, he’d have to inform Zhou Dafu, to avoid provoking that big guy.
Tang Ming came to school intending to participate in the medical competition; the courses didn’t matter much. Zhou Xiaoqian had also enrolled in the competition, allowing her to skip classes, and the two roamed around the campus closely.
At noon, Zhu Chenglong called Tang Ming to meet at the dorm entrance, then go out for a celebratory meal together.
When Tang Ming arrived with Zhou Xiaoqian, Zhu Chenglong and others were already waiting.
"Whoa, Tang Ming, you’re fast!"
Seeing Tang Ming bring a girl, Zhu Chenglong exclaimed in surprise.
"Haha, I always said our fourth brother is of the same mind; otherwise, why would he apply to our school?"
Shi Shwei chortled sleazily, arm around Zhang Hui.
"Hey, beauty, which class are you from?"
Liu Bin asked Zhou Xiaoqian with a grin, arm around a girl.
"I’m a sophomore in medical studies, my name is Zhou Xiaoqian."
Zhou Xiaoqian responded politely.
Tang Ming glanced at the girl in Liu Bin’s arms, noticing she was different from the one he’d seen him with last night. In less than a day, Liu Bin had switched to three different girlfriends — this guy’s a beast!
"Medical studies?"
Zhu Chenglong and the group were shocked, staring at Zhou Xiaoqian incredulously.
"Fourth brother, you have quite a pick! To have snagged someone from the medical field!"
Shi Shwei looked at Tang Ming in disbelief, "It seems the beauties from medical studies are consumed internally by their department’s boys, how’d you snare one?"
"Xiaoqian’s so pretty, she must have a boyfriend, right? You’re not playing with our fourth brother, are you?"
Zhu Chenglong watched Zhou Xiaoqian warily.
"Sophomore girls, must be experienced drivers; better not bully our fourth brother."
Liu Bin’s expression also soured.
"Don’t guess wildly, Xiaoqian and I are fellow townspeople, her brother’s my friend."
Tang Ming hurriedly explained, knowing that despite their bad attitude, these guys cared about him.
"Fourth brother, be careful though."
Zhu Chenglong remained cautious, keeping a close eye on Zhou Xiaoqian. "Beauty, have you had a boyfriend before? Still a virgin?"
"Damn!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ming glared at Zhu Chenglong; how could he say such things, way out of line.
"What’s there to fear? It’s a crucial question for picking a girlfriend. I just don’t want non-virgins."
Shi Shwei dismissed the issue indifferently.
