Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 306 - 129: Encountering Nanaz at the Baseball Field, Time to Fulfill the Promise! (Part 2)
This little palace maid even used amber to make a pendant inside her dress, and when it sounded, she would tell others: I’m too skinny, that’s the sound of my bones.
It sounds a bit like Liu Wanyin.
Looking back, the famous beauties like Dong Xiaowan, Chen Yuanyuan, and Li Shishi from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties were all skinny.
So, all in all, it was just the rulers of the Tang Dynasty who had quirky tastes, probably because Emperor Xuanzong had an unusual preference; other kings’ aesthetics were still normal.
Those words from the loafer were mainly to respect the choices of the spiritual youngster.
After all, when it comes to preferences, everyone has their own tastes; there’s an audience for both spareribs and Dongpo pork.
The spiritual youngster was delighted upon hearing this, thinking that Brother Yan had good taste, while everyone else was just clueless rookies.
"Did you hear that? Even emperors like Emperor Xuanzong and Liu of Later Tang liked plump ones, so my taste is just like that of emperors!"
Reflecting on his impressive record, having had the good fortune of pursuing a few Yang Guifeis and Meizhui, Zeng Kaiping felt triumphant.
In a good mood, he scooped another piece of fatty pork belly into his mouth; as he bit down, the grease splattered everywhere, leaving the spiritual youngster utterly satisfied and puzzled as to why he used to enjoy lean meat, which had a poor texture and easily got stuck in the teeth.
Perhaps it was youthful ignorance; after all, people mature.
He secretly thought to himself.
...
After dinner, back in the dormitory, Zeng Kaiping immediately turned on the computer, logged into QQ, shared affection with his concubines, and downloaded films from the European and American sections using Internet ant software.
This went on till night, nearing seven o’clock, when the downloads were almost complete, and suddenly a group of people flooded into the dorm room.
Ever since the loafer bought a computer in his freshman year and started showing movies every night, dormitory 302 became the happy center.
In the second semester of freshman year, many boys from other dorms bought computers but still preferred to hang out in 302 because it was especially lively at night, with card games, banter, and movie watching.
But Su Zelin had already watched all the movies he copied from Brother Xiao Yang, mainly because hard drives in those days were still small, and even with a few hundred MB RMVB movies, you couldn’t store many.
Films like "Lantern Monk" and "The Fruit is Ripe" had even been re-watched several times, no matter how classic they were, they had become tedious.
Later, with intranet connections, Su Zelin would occasionally download new films, but since the semester started, he had been busy at the digital store and hadn’t had time recently.
Deeming himself the loafer’s successor, Zeng Kaiping took over the master’s mantle to ensure 302 wouldn’t lose its fine traditions, so the spiritual youngster downloaded films every day and screened them during prime time at night.
"Ah Ping, is today’s download ready yet?"
"Hurry up, we can’t wait!"
"..."
More people gathered around, and Zeng Kaiping, enjoying the pleasure of being the center of attention, cheerfully announced, "Don’t worry, starting the screening now!"
He quickly found the new download from before and opened it with Super Decoder.
The red FBI WARNING slowly appeared on the flat-screen monitor’s screen.
Speaking of which, the FBI also seems incredibly idle, sticking their noses into everything, just like a dog sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong.
The boys watched with keen interest, and some even started jestly critiquing as they watched.
"Ah Ping, your downloads are pretty good, but it seems the female leads are always too curvy; how about changing the preference next time?"
"Yeah, Ah Ping, maybe preview the images beforehand to find something more petite and delicate."
"..."
The movies Zeng Kaiping downloaded featured voluptuous Western women with thick legs and full hips.
"Your statements are wrong. Such women are the best. Do you know what the Tang Dynasty’s top beauty, Yang Guifei, was like? She was only about 160 cm tall and weighed over 150 pounds. Look how wise Emperor Xuanzong was; no wonder the Tang Dynasty was so prosperous; it’s not without reason!"
Zeng Kaiping regurgitated the loafer’s line of reasoning as justification, even linking the Tang Dynasty’s prosperity with Emperor Xuanzong’s fondness for "tanks."
The boys involuntarily felt embarrassed.
"They’re emperors, they can handle it. We’re just small-fry; we can’t compete, can we?"
Zeng Kaiping, smug as ever, thought to himself, just because you can’t handle it doesn’t mean Zeng here can’t.
I’ve handled many before; when you think about it, it’s not a big deal!
The five "villains" of 302 also tacitly agreed not to spread Zeng Kaiping’s preference for "tanks."
After all, household scandals shouldn’t be shared outside.
Despite the spiritual youngster’s somewhat heavy tastes, the group of boys was still enthusiastically engaged, exclaiming in awe when faced with high-difficulty scenes in the films.
In truth, they weren’t just watching the films; they were mainly there for the lively company.
Without experiences of gathering to watch films, a college career wouldn’t be complete.
Su Zelin didn’t participate; since high school, when he got his first Aido VCD player, he started enhancing his knowledge in this area, and even before being reborn, he had plenty of practical experience, negating the need for further cramming.
While browsing the Finance Institute BBS, Su Zelin pondered.
Spring has arrived, and these animals have also awakened to the call of spring.
Oh, right.
Now that spring is in full bloom, it’s time to fulfill the promise made with Nanaz from the other world.
Taking advantage of this slow season at the digital store and with the time for opening a branch not yet ripe, he would pick up a camera and become Teacher Su once again!
...
Next evening, at the Finance Institute basketball court.
With the warmer weather, not only were there more girls dressed in colorful attire on campus, but the passionate young men had also returned to the basketball courts.
Under the setting sun, athletic figures frolicked and twirled, basking in the heat-induced perspiration sliding down their faces, soaking through their bodies, reveling in the wanton expression of youth, painting a vigorous and lively scene.
On one court, the spectators were numerous, erupting into bursts of exclamations from time to time.
