Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Running a Background Check?

Feces?

Gu Qing’s brain just shut down.

With his current understanding of the world, he simply couldn’t comprehend what was going on with this tag.

How could such a soft, adorable junior have such an outrageous tag floating over her head?

He subconsciously glanced at the heads of the other female students.

The first girl, in a high ponytail and jeans, had a [Teacher] tag floating above her head.

The second, who wore thin-framed glasses, had a [Translator] tag.

The tags on the remaining two girls were also normal: [Bank Teller] and [Designer].

The only exception was the cute junior with the twin ponytails.

The word [Feces] floating over her head was more glaring than the sun, a stark contrast to her soft, adorable appearance.

"Old Gu, check out the girl with the twin ponytails walking at the back."

Chen Zijie nudged Gu Qing with his elbow, his voice low and his eyes full of excitement. "She’s so freaking cute. As soft as a little cupcake."

After speaking, he draped an arm over Gu Qing’s shoulder.

He declared magnanimously,

"Old Gu, I’ll let you have the cutest one."

"On one condition: you don’t touch the others."

"You get the meat, and Duole and I will have the soup. That way, we all have a beautiful future."

"..."

Gu Qing didn’t say anything, just stared in confusion at the twin-tailed girl’s tag.

He really couldn’t figure out how such a soft and adorable girl could be associated with feces.

’Also, what does this tag even mean?’

’How do I trigger it?’

’What kind of Attribute can I get?’

’Do I have to take a crap with her for over an hour?’

’Crap Speed +1?’

’Crap Control +1?’

’Once my Crap Control accumulates 100 points, will I gain the Attribute of controlling any living creature’s urge to crap?’

’Looks like we really will have to find time to take a crap together...’

Gu Qing could barely keep a straight face just thinking about it.

"I didn’t lie to you guys, did I?"

Gao Fei said, fishing for compliments from the three of them with a smug look. "These girls from my girlfriend’s department are all top-tier, aren’t they?"

Chen Zijie nodded. "Definitely. They’re way better-looking than I expected."

Qian Duole added, "The quality is ridiculously high. They could debut as a girl group."

"Of course."

Gao Fei’s smile grew even more smug, his voice filled with pride. "When my girlfriend’s department recruits, the number one criterion is appearance. Anything less than perfect won’t do."

He then added, "Anyway, I’ve created the opportunity for you. Whether or not you can win the beauties over is all up to you now."

Chen Zijie turned to Gu Qing and Qian Duole.

"Just so you know, I’ve got my eye on the girl in the blue jeans."

"You two better not compete with me later. Remember to be my wingmen."

"If I succeed, I’ll treat you guys to a great meal afterward."

"..."

"Don’t worry, you can count on my support."

Qian Duole patted his chest in assurance, then quickly added, "I’m calling dibs on the one with glasses. You guys have to be my wingmen, too."

Chen Zijie replied, "No problem. We’ll help each other out."

Gao Fei looked at Gu Qing and teased, "Old Gu, Zijie and Duole have made their picks. That leaves the other three for you. You can have one on each arm and another on your back. You’ll all live happily ever after as a foursome."

Gu Qing just smiled and waved his hand. "Don’t mess with me. I’m just here to round out the numbers. I don’t have any other ideas."

They had barely exchanged a few more words when Gao Fei’s long-legged girlfriend came over with the five freshmen.

They were talking and laughing as they approached, their steps light.

Just as they were about to reach the picnic blanket, the girl with the twin ponytails, who had been walking at the very back, made a sly move.

She suddenly quickened her pace, leaving the other girls behind.

She beat them to it, sitting down right next to Gu Qing.

The moment she sat down, Gu Qing caught a faint, milky fragrance from her.

It was very pleasant.

Completely at odds with the [Feces] tag floating over her head.

"Hi, senior."

The twin-tailed girl’s voice was soft and delicate.

As sweet as cotton candy.

It was enough to make Gu Qing’s bones feel a little weak.

"Senior, I’m a freshman this year majoring in English Education. My name is Huang Xiaoyue. Can I add you on WeChat?"

As she spoke, the twin-tailed girl had already taken out her phone, unlocked the screen, and skillfully pulled up her WeChat QR code, holding it out for Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was taken aback for a moment.

’So forward?’

’This twin-tailed junior seems to be on another level.’

’She probably dated a lot before college.’

"Sure."

Gu Qing nodded, took out his own phone, and scanned the code to add Huang Xiaoyue on WeChat.

He didn’t care at all whether this girl was a player or not.

Because he had no intention of dating her anyway.

The only reason he agreed so readily to add her on WeChat was his desire to investigate the [Feces] tag on her head and figure out what was up with that absurd label.

After successfully adding her as a friend, Gu Qing immediately tapped on Huang Xiaoyue’s WeChat profile picture to check her information.

When he saw that her profile picture was a Slowpoke with a poop-shaped hairstyle, he completely lost it.

’Good lord.’

’In real life, she has an absurd [Feces] tag floating over her head.’

’On WeChat, her profile picture has a poop-shaped hairdo.’

’This cute girl has a thing for crap, doesn’t she?’

’This is just too surreal...’

The more Gu Qing thought about it, the harder it was to keep his composure.

Seeing that Huang Xiaoyue had added Gu Qing on WeChat, the other four girls also crowded around with their phones:

"Senior, let me add you on WeChat too."

"Senior, can I get your WeChat? Please look out for me in the future."

"Me too."

"And me."

Out of courtesy, Gu Qing accepted all their friend requests one by one.

Seeing their chance, Chen Zijie and Qian Duole immediately rushed over.

"Hey girls, add me on WeChat too. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."

"You can come to me, too. We’re all Gu Qing’s roommates, and we’re great guys."

The girls didn’t refuse and added them on WeChat with a smile.

Gao Fei didn’t join the commotion.

After all, his girlfriend was right there, and trying to add the freshmen’s WeChats in front of her would be asking for a beating.

After everyone had added each other on WeChat, they all sat in a circle on the picnic blanket, chatting together.

After chatting for a little while, Gao Fei’s girlfriend suggested a game of Truth or Dare.

They would spin a drink bottle in the middle.

Whoever it pointed to could choose someone to play Truth or Dare with.

It was an excellent suggestion, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

The first few times, the bottle landed on the freshmen girls.

Without exception, they all chose Gu Qing.

Gu Qing chose "Truth" every time.

The girls’ eyes were filled with curiosity, and they fired off one question after another:

"Senior, do you have a girlfriend right now?"

"Senior, what’s your type?"

"Senior, do you like watching movies?"

Gu Qing patiently answered them all.

After a round of questions and answers, they spun the bottle again.

This time, it finally landed on the girl with the twin ponytails.

"Senior, will you choose Truth or Dare?"

Huang Xiaoyue asked, blinking her big, round eyes with a sweet smile.

Gu Qing answered without hesitation, "Truth."

Huang Xiaoyue thought for a moment, then asked, "Senior, where exactly do you live? Be specific, down to the residential community. Oh, and how many people are in your family?"
