"I forgot my water bottle!"
As Su Cheng walked down the road, he suddenly realized this and stopped in his tracks, turning back toward the classroom.
His water bottle contained coffee.
Although he had taken a nap at noon, he was still sleep-deprived. Without coffee to keep him going during class, he might just fall asleep while listening.
Behind him, Li Guanqi quickly stepped aside to let him pass and then followed closely behind him.
She maintained a very subtle distance, close enough to follow without drawing Su Cheng's attention, and far enough to avoid any scent reaching him.
Just as Su Cheng was about to reach the classroom, he ran into Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying, causing all three of them to pause for a moment.
"Aren't you going to your elective class, Su Cheng?"
Zhao Yan greeted with a smile.
Xuan Ying, on the other hand, kept her head down, looking guilty and avoiding eye contact with Su Cheng.
She had been acting like this for the past few days.
"I forgot my water bottle,"
Su Cheng replied with a polite smile, nodded at the two girls, and then continued toward the classroom.
"Wha... what do we do now...?"
Xuan Ying looked at Su Cheng's retreating back, panicking.
If they went first, they wouldn't be able to sit with Su Cheng. They had been following him in the hopes of securing seats together first, then naturally sitting next to him as classmates.
It seemed very reasonable.
But if they went ahead, Su Cheng might just pick a random spot, making it difficult for them to sit together.
"Let's go to the bathroom,"
Zhao Yan suggested directly.
"Oh, right!"
Xuan Ying quickly agreed, nodding, and the two girls headed toward the bathroom together.
Meanwhile, Li Guanqi quietly observed their conversation without interrupting. Her gaze, however, remained fixed on Su Cheng as he entered the classroom.
Soon, Su Cheng emerged, and Li Guanqi silently followed, passing by the bathroom where two more girls joined in.
The lecture hall
Arriving late, the lecture hall was already packed, with no empty seats left. The constant coming and going of students meant his arrival went unnoticed.
However, a small golden retriever in the front row spotted him and her eyes lit up. She quickly looked around to see if there were any empty seats nearby, but to her disappointment, there weren't any.
To her left was Ailiya, and to her right was a classmate.
Though the lack of empty seats was disappointing, it didn't stop her from keeping her eyes on Su Cheng.
"What's wrong?"
Ailiya noticed Cornelia's gaze fixed on something and followed her gaze, spotting Su Cheng.
"Nothing, nothing,"
Cornelia quickly shook her head, not wanting to elaborate, but her gaze still occasionally drifted toward Su Cheng.
"Got it,"
Seeing this, Ailiya didn't press further, knowing Cornelia's feelings for Su Cheng.
Su Cheng scanned the room and found that the front rows were almost full, causing him to frown.
However, the back rows were relatively empty. Without hesitation, Su Cheng started walking toward that area.
But just as he took a few steps, he suddenly stopped, realizing why this corner was deserted.
There sat a human air conditioner, radiating a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the air around her.
This human air conditioner was none other than his eccentric club president.
Pfft, more like the ice sculpture president—Ji Qingyi.
She sat there alone, exuding a strong sense of oppression that made the entire area feel like her private domain, with no one daring to approach.
At that moment, Ji Qingyi also noticed him, her gaze fixed on Su Cheng as if deep in thought.
Su Cheng didn't pay much attention to Ji Qingyi's gaze. After all, his club president had been quite kind to him, protecting him and even helping him with his health checks.
Then, he walked straight toward the area near Ji Qingyi and sat down, greeting her casually, "President."
She nodded in response, then withdrew her gaze, continuing to stare at the front screen as if indifferent to everything.
The few girls following Su Cheng, however, were visibly startled and hesitated, unsure whether to sit near him, given Ji Qingyi's presence beside him.
Sitting next to such a woman was like having the homeroom teacher beside you. As Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying hesitated, Li Guanqi hesitated for only a second before sitting down next to Su Cheng.
A few seconds later, Xuan Ying finally made up her mind and was about to pull Zhao Yan to sit next to Su Cheng, but as soon as she moved, Ji Qingyi seemed to notice their hesitation and slowly turned her gaze toward them.
The two girls immediately retracted their steps and sat down in the nearest seats, looking like they had been caught doing something wrong by the teacher.
Ji Qingyi glanced at the two girls, then at Su Cheng, who was sitting three seats away from her, her eyes revealing an unreadable expression.
"Geez, could you give me a heads-up next time? You scared me,"
Su Cheng patted his chest, complaining slightly at the emotionless beauty sitting next to him.
He had been startled by her sudden presence.
"Sorry,"
Li Guanqi apologized lightly, then continued to stare at the front screen as if nothing had happened, and Su Cheng didn't say anything more, bowing his head to continue fiddling with his notebook.
However, Su Cheng and Li Guanqi's conversation was overheard by Ji Qingyi, who glanced at Su Cheng, then at Li Guanqi, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise. After recognizing the girl, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had identified her.
"Look, someone's sitting next to the Ji family's young lady."
"No way, huh, there really is someone."
"Who is that guy? He's got guts."
"A freshman, I guess. But wow, he's really fearless."
"I remember seeing him in the campus newspaper. He's a first-year, Su Cheng!"
"The one personally tutored by President Ji?"
"Yeah."
"I see. No wonder."
………………
The murmurs from the crowd were very faint and far away, so Su Cheng didn't notice.
"Class hasn't started yet. Should we sit over there?"
From a distance, Xuan Ying glanced unwillingly at the empty seats around Su Cheng and whispered to Zhao Yan.
"Su Cheng already noticed us earlier. If we move now, it'll be too obvious that we're changing seats on purpose."
Zhao Yan shook her head, feeling hesitant.
"Alright."
Xuan Ying reluctantly looked at the empty seats next to Su Cheng before turning her gaze forward.
…………
"Look."
"Gu Ruoxue?"
"I didn't expect her to be in this law class too!"
……
At that moment, a stunning figure appeared at the door.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
