Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 117, Section 115: Theory Guiding Practice
On the other side, Zhou Mingyuan and his roommates played until the dorm closed, before one by one they nimbly scaled the high wall and jumped back into the territory of Nanhu University.

The first thing I did when I got back was gossip.

Cai Zhipeng's performance was incredibly poor throughout the night. He wasn't focused on the game at all, and he was repeatedly solo-killed by random players in the mid lane. When questioned, he could only laugh it off.

He was full of curiosity.

"Brothers, don't you guys think that Lao Zhou has a bit too many female confidantes?"

The bathroom was filled with the sound of running water, but Zhou Mingyuan's chair and bed were empty.

While everyone was queuing to shower, Cai Zhipeng took off his T-shirt and gossiped shirtless.

"If you put it that way, then that's true."

Yu Feiyang thought for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously: "You didn't help with the move today, so you probably didn't notice."

"That short-haired girl named Li Zhi doesn't seem to talk much, but she actually has a good relationship with Lao Zhou."

"To be honest, I feel that their interaction is so sweet, it's no less than Gu Caiwei's!"

"Is that so?"

Cai Zhipeng crossed his arms, stared wide-eyed, and looked even more surprised.

It's only been a short time since school started.
If you take stock of the girls who are close to Zhou Mingyuan, there are quite a few that he and his two other roommates have already met!
Zhong Yujun, of course, needs no further explanation.

He had personally witnessed his beloved from the same city and hometown holding hands secretly, their relationship ambiguous.

Next up is senior student Du Jianuo.

She is the leading lady of Jieyou Media, Zhou Mingyuan's money bag, and is sexy and extremely charming.

In addition, there's Gu Caiwei, whom I've only just met, yet who has left an extremely deep impression on me.

A stunningly beautiful woman with an ever-present smile, speaking with a soft, enchanting Wu dialect that makes one's heart flutter, charming and passionate.

This person, who co-invested in a coffee shop with Zhou Mingyuan, also had a very close relationship with him.

现在
Yu Feiyang added some other details.

There was one more person!
The mysterious and aloof, unknowable and unpredictable Li Zhi.

You won’t know if you don’t count them, but you will be shocked if you count them.

This time, Cai Zhipeng was truly shocked.

Having been raised in luxury, he actually possesses a considerable degree of self-confidence and has rarely lacked female companionship.

The only break in my career was right after I said goodbye to my high school girlfriend and officially entered Nanhu University, from the start of military training until now.

He never felt he couldn't find a girlfriend, nor did he ever doubt his own charm.

But ever since Zhou Mingyuan, this prodigy, joined his side, Cai Zhipeng has lost a lot of confidence and gradually realized what it means to be outmatched and to be in a world beyond our reach.

Why did he give up pursuing Zhong Yujun and turn to other female classmates?

Why did he pester his family to buy him a car as soon as he entered college?

Ultimately, it's just about needing a little bit of material things to fill the void of self-confidence.

Cai Zhipeng has been trying his best to convince himself to accept all of this.

But you've gone too far!

Have all the good things in the world happened to you?

"Perhaps this is what it means for theory to guide practice."

From the corner, Xiong Yao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly uttered this sentence.

"what's that?"

"What kind of practice?"

Yu Feiyang and Cai Zhipeng turned their heads at the same time and looked over.

"It's all about theory guiding practice, haven't you forgotten?"

Xiong Yao added in a serious tone, "Brother Zhou mentioned it in the dorm a while ago."

"One of the tricks to multitasking is to create files and records, so you won't get the girls mixed up." "Are you guys not taking this seriously?"

Seeing that the other two remained silent, Xiong Yao continued speaking.

"I think that's exactly what Brother Zhou did."

"In Marxist philosophy class, we were told that theory originates from the summary of objective laws and can help practitioners clarify their goals and paths. Theory is not dogma, but a guide to action."

"Therefore, Brother Zhou has integrated the cognitive theories of intimate relationships, armed his mind, and guided his practice."

"You guys said he was just bragging and didn't think multi-line operations were feasible, but what about him?"

"He not only practiced what he preached, but also carefully summarized the theories, turning them into powerful ideological weapons for transforming the subjective and objective worlds."

Although Xiong Yao doesn't talk much, he is the most diligent student in dormitory 501 and is always thinking.

His summary initially left Yu Feiyang and Cai Zhipeng bewildered, but then they realized it made perfect sense.

"So, Lao Zhou was indeed operating on multiple fronts?"

The sound of water in the bathroom continued. Yu Feiyang rubbed his eyes, momentarily incredulous.

"I can't say."

Cai Zhipeng glanced at Xiong Yao, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

"It must be!"

On the contrary, Xiong Yao, unusually firm in his stance, emphasized it again.

"Having known Brother Zhou for so long, when have you ever seen him brag?"

The two immediately shut their mouths.

"What he said must be true!"

"Selling multiple things while single doesn't sound very noble or righteous, does it?"

"But recently, I carefully synthesized his series of theories and found that it is based on a thorough understanding of intimate relationships, accurately grasping the spirit of equality, respect, and sharing that runs through them, as well as scientific methodology. This transforms isolated, fragmented, and one-sided understanding into a systematic, comprehensive, and holistic understanding, elevates perceptual cognition to rational cognition, and transforms vague understanding of the opposite sex into regular understanding, truly and continuously improving one's personal charm at a deeper level."

"When you like a girl, you feel anxious and insecure, unsure of her thoughts, and your emotions get agitated."

"You like quite a few girls, don't you?"

Xiong Yao clenched his fist and placed it on his chest: "It's like I suddenly became clear-headed and rational."

"I have to say, that's really awesome!"

Hearing this, Cai Zhipeng couldn't help but chuckle. He lit a cigarette with a "click," patted his roommate on the shoulder, and asked...

"Big Bear, you seem pretty honest, but I didn't expect you to be such a lecherous guy, and you even like several guys."

He dismissed it, pursing his lips and not taking it seriously.

"Hold!"

"I love telling the truth."

Xiong Yao said with a determined look, "I secretly wrote it down when Brother Zhou said it."

"Don't talk about whether he's a scumbag or not, or whether he meets moral standards."

"Don't say that having multiple relationships at the same time is shameless. Just tell me, as a man, wouldn't you envy this kind of lifestyle?"

"Whether you can do it or not is one thing, aren't you even a little bit envious?"

"Old Cai, stop pretending. Ever since you bought your new car, you've not only parked it downstairs, but you also drive it to other colleges every day. What are you doing this for? Do you think we can't see through you?"

A barrage of words left Cai Zhipeng blushing, unable to think of a rebuttal.

Yu Feiyang couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing: "Alright, alright, Big Bear, say less."

No wonder I'm envious.

When Zhou Mingyuan came out after taking a shower, his roommates looked at him with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
