【I saw that GLE drive into campus again today. Wonder which beauty the uncle is picking up this time...】
【Which one? More like several!】
【?】
【Never mind】
Chu Mingzhe looked up, his expression a mix of indignation and frustration.
He had initially assumed the mysterious Mercedes driver was some middle-aged, balding, potbellied tycoon from outside the university.
That would’ve at least given him some consolation.
He might’ve even secretly rejoiced if Chen Yusheng and the Wan sisters were involved with outsiders.
But the car belonged to Su Bai.
Damn it, Su Bai—handsome, loaded, and just rubbing it in everyone’s faces!
Meanwhile, Xue Tao was frantically wiping sweat off his brow as he fiddled with his phone.
He was busy deleting all his past bragging posts about "driving a Magotan as a freshman."
After all, his roommate rolled around in a top-tier GLE worth over 800k.
Made him look like a total clown.
Su Bai’s car crushed his in every way—price, prestige, practicality.
Ugh. If only his parents had bought him a car like that, maybe Liu Yuanyuan wouldn’t be so resistant to holding hands or kissing.
Hell, they might’ve even gone all the way by now.
Xue Tao seethed with envy.
……
Under Wan Xinyan’s gentle coaxing, Jiang Qiuran gradually calmed down, wiping away her tears.
As for Su Bai?
He couldn’t care less about Jiang Qiuran’s emotional state.
Su Bai was already heading to a food stall.
He’d spotted a spicy skewer stand earlier and wanted to grab some for Chen Yusheng.
"Snow Goose, I gotta hand it to you."
"Huh?" Su Bai scratched his head, turning to Yusheng. "What’d I do?"
"You don’t seem the slightest bit soft on Jiang Qiuran."
"Pfft. That’s how childhood friends are. If I gave her an inch, she’d take a mile. This is for her own good."
Su Bai delivered the line with shameless confidence.
But honestly, when you thought about it, he had a point.
Jiang Qiuran wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, and her personality was a mess. Trying to play games with rich guys? She’d crash and burn.
Better for Su Bai to rein her in and keep her life stable.
At least that way, he’d be repaying Aunt Jiang’s kindness.
The spicy skewers were soon ready.
Chen Yusheng happily munched on a handful of sticks, her eyes crinkling with delight.
Just then, a message popped up on Su Bai’s phone—from Jiang Qiuran’s alt account.
【ASUka: Snow Goose, I’ll prove myself with actions you’ll approve of.】
Su Bai smirked and replied:
【CrispySnowGoose: Still calling me ‘Snow Goose’? Is that the attitude you should have?】
【ASUka: [dog kowtowing]】
【ASUka: [voice message]】
Su Bai turned down the volume and held the phone to his ear.
Jiang Qiuran’s sweet, girlish voice cooed through the speaker:
"MaSter~"
The sound sent a shiver down Su Bai’s spine.
[Ding! Jiang Qiuran’s favorability +1. Current favorability: 87]
Keeping her under control was the right move—no doubt about it.
And damn, the way his childhood friend groveled was kinda… hot.
【CrispySnowGoose: From now on, in private, call me…】
【ASUka: Honestly, I could do it in public too…】
【ASUka: [anticipation][anticipation]】
【CrispySnowGoose: Hell no! You might not care about dignity, but I do!】
At that moment…
Jiang Qiuran had excused herself to the bathroom to record that voice message.
Despite the humiliation of apologizing, she felt weirdly… exhilarated.
She was definitely broken.
But this kind of brokenness gave her an odd sense of security.
She knew Su Bai saw right through her usual "cute but calculating" act.
They’d known each other too long for that.
And for once, she genuinely regretted her choices.
A girl’s rationality could separate physical attraction from logical decisions.
Some might try to "eat in the east, sleep in the west," but Jiang Qiuran hated that messy lifestyle.
Mostly because she was terrified of STDs.
She’d always been a clean freak.
After meeting a few so-called "high-quality" guys at university, her germaphobia had only worsened.
Those guys weren’t bad—decent looks, good backgrounds.
But the thought of physical intimacy with them made her skin crawl.
Holding hands? No thanks.
Yet with Su Bai, it was completely different.
Back in middle school, they’d roughhoused all the time—even shared a bed once.
So Su Bai striking it rich was the best-case scenario.
Now she wouldn’t have to chase other wealthy men.
Her mom always said: "Don’t let love cloud your judgment. Marry for money—that’s real happiness."
Well, the money fountain had appeared in Su Bai’s hands… and she’d somehow screwed it up.
Karma, huh?
Luckily, there was still a chance to fix things.
She’d thrown dignity out the window to show Su Bai her sincerity.
But weirdly… it didn’t feel bad at all.
In fact, it felt… kinda good?
Maybe some people were just born to be shameless.
After a month of college life, drowning in empty flattery, she’d grown numb to it.
But being treated like dirt by Su Bai?
The rush of emotions in just a few minutes outweighed the entire past month.
And so, the campus goddess Jiang Qiuran secretly awakened to… unconventional tastes.
……
"Bai, you guys go ahead. There’s a small comic con at the expo center—I’m gonna check it out."
After regrouping with the others, Wang Haoran gave Su Bai a heads-up.
"Sure, have fun."
"I’ll edit the video back at the hotel. Gotta rush this entry—if the judges aren’t blind, we’re winning."
As the cameraman, Wang Haoran had strong opinions.
Good looks just translated better on screen.
Chen Yusheng blinked. "Wait, wasn’t I supposed to edit?"
"Nah, I got it. You’re busy—go game with Bai or something."
Wang Haoran insisted on handling it himself.
As a proper lackey, he knew his role.
His parents were migrant workers—he understood how hard money was to earn.
Working for Bai meant giving 110%.
No slacking.
……
"Anyone wanna crash at the lakeside villa tonight? Plenty of rooms."
Back at the Sheraton, Su Bai tossed out the question.
All four girls shot their hands up.
Yeah, dumb question.
Su Bai didn’t bother pretending. He drove the group straight to Tianrong·Manju Residence.
Man!
The approach alone screamed luxury—a straight asphalt road flanked by sprawling lawns and fountains.
Like some British noble estate.
The three-story lakeside villa came into view, and the girls lost it.
The Wan sisters especially squealed, snapping photos for their Moments.
"Good evening, Mr. Su. Welcome to Tianrong·Manju. I’m Li Shuang, your dedicated butler for tonight."
As soon as Su Bai stepped into the hotel lobby, he was greeted by the butler assigned to handle all the arrangements for the lakeside villa.
Clearly, she was a seasoned professional, trained rigorously in hospitality.
Dressed in a uniform with black stockings and heels, her face was striking, and her figure was slender.
Yet, there was no hint of flirtation in her demeanor.
Mainly because Su Bai had arrived alone with four stunningly beautiful young women—a sight that left the butler visibly surprised.
This young man was clearly no ordinary guest.
Then again, anyone who could book a lakeside villa during peak holiday season had to be someone of considerable means.
Still, Su Bai looked even younger than Li Shuang had anticipated.
