To be honest, Senior Zhou Jialu often acted quite childlike.
That delicate, feminine demeanor, the softness and clinginess radiating from her very bones—it was utterly captivating.
However, Su Bai understood that such refined qualities required a material foundation to nurture them.
If he hadn’t been bound to the system and was still just that handsome but broke guy, he probably wouldn’t have had a chance with her.
Some rare flowers can only bloom in a greenhouse.
While gaming with Chen Yusheng, Su Bai still found time to flirt shamelessly with Zhou Jialu beside him.
Noticing that Su Bai had left his mic on free mode yet still refused to behave, Zhou Jialu couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.
This guy just wanted to see her flustered!
How can he be so mean~
Even as she mentally complained, her expression was one of excitement mixed with enjoyment.
After all, what she liked about him was precisely that mischievous side.
Their first meeting at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store in Jiangcheng had set the tone—Su Bai had flirted back at her right in the car.
It was like he’d opened a whole new world for her.
And then, witnessing his jaw-dropping wealth afterward?
That was when Zhou Jialu had been completely conquered.
Mmm, no…
Even if she liked his bad-boy charm, the way he deliberately teased her was just too much!
Zhou Jialu decided to fight back.
……
This genuinely caught Su Bai off guard.
His already terrible gameplay became even more erratic.
In an instant, his gaming IQ plummeted to the level of Malphite, the rock-solid tank.
Flashing into empty space, using Cleanse on a knock-up…
“Seriously, Big White Goose, what are you doing? Trying to impersonate a pro player or something?” Chen Yusheng giggled uncontrollably.
Honestly?
Gaming with Su Bai was at least guaranteed to be entertaining.
When it came to couples playing together, the game itself didn’t matter—it was all about who you played with.
Given Su Bai and Chen Yusheng’s relationship, even something as simple as Fireboy and Watergirl would’ve been fun.
“Just a fluke… Ouch…”
“Huh? What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Chen Yusheng’s concern was immediate.
When it came to Su Bai’s health, she was hyper-vigilant.
After all… well, it directly affected her future happiness.
And after her mother’s illness, Chen Yusheng had gained a profound understanding at a young age—health trumped everything.
Without it, you truly had nothing.
“My eyes hurt a little. I’m gonna take a break.”
“Okay, I’ll log off too!”
Chen Yusheng quickly agreed, exiting the game and voice chat before returning to her coding.
Meanwhile, in the study of his luxury duplex, freed from the distraction of Chen Yusheng, Su Bai’s mental bandwidth instantly recovered.
……
He sprawled lifelessly across his gaming chair.
“Hahaha, don’t be mad, my good junior, my dear hubby~”
“I’m not mad at all. I’m feeling great.” Su Bai grinned—both outwardly and inwardly.
Honestly, that had been pretty thrilling.
Dual-streaming with a beauty while simultaneously…
It was the kind of outrageous scenario he’d only dared to dream about before.
The sort of thing readers would call “unrealistic” if written into a novel!
But given his current circumstances?
Oh, it was very, very real.
Zhou Jialu shook his shoulders. “Junior, get up for a sec. Move to the sofa—this gaming chair’s too bulky for what I’m about to do.”
“And what’s that?”
“I learned some massage techniques in training class. Let me rub your shoulders since you’re tired from gaming~”
Seriously, sis.
Did I look tired from gaming just now?
You know exactly what wore me out.
Su Bai shook his head helplessly but complied.
Clearly, Zhou Jialu was eager to show off her new skills.
Speaking of which, that butler training course covered surprisingly diverse topics.
Even massage?
Yes, you heard right—butler training.
Thank Xia Lin for that. Such specialized courses weren’t something you could just find online; it took an insider like her to recommend something legit.
Truth was, many high-end resources circulated exclusively within wealthy circles.
Take top-tier lawyers, for example.
The flashy ones self-promoting online? Rarely the best.
Elite attorneys had more than enough work through referrals—no time for online grandstanding.
Xia Lin was Su Bai’s golden ticket into these exclusive networks.
Especially since she seemed to have… certain feelings for him.
That emotional stake made her recommendations doubly reliable.
Su Bai relaxed, surrendering to his senior’s massage.
Mmm…
Not that he’d ever visited a professional spa for comparison, but subjectively?
This felt amazing. So much so that he nearly dozed off—until an unexpected call shattered his drowsiness.
“Mr. Su, hello! I’m Manager Wu from Porsche Jiangcheng’s marketing team. You can just call me Xiao Wu… Your customized Panamera has arrived in Jiangcheng and can be delivered tomorrow. We were wondering if you’d permit us to display your vehicle at an upcoming auto show? It would be a closed exhibition—just half a day, with no public contact…”
After listening, Su Bai grasped the situation.
His car’s custom paint job was a first in China, and the bespoke configuration was maxed out.
With Jiangcheng’s auto show approaching, Manager Wu hoped to showcase Porsche’s capabilities through Su Bai’s ride.
After brief consideration, Su Bai agreed.
A closed exhibition meant no random strangers touching his baby.
Plus, Manager Wu mentioned he could take delivery first, then personally drive it to the show.
Now that was a flex.
And why not?
He’d earned this car fair and square through the system—flaunting it was only natural.
Besides, he planned to buy a couple more sports cars there anyway, aiming to push his savings past the 100 million mark.
So it was a win-win.
Hanging up, Su Bai noticed Zhou Jialu’s sparkling eyes beside him and chuckled.
“We’ll go together for the delivery and auto show the day after tomorrow.”
“Wait, really?!” She lit up with joy—she’d been about to beg for this very opportunity when Su Bai preempted her.
After a pause, she asked nervously, “Just… just me?”
“What, you want company? Need moral support from other girls?”
“No way! If it’s just the two of us, that’s perfect… Hehe…”
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
