From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, stealing a best friend's man doesn't seem like an unreasonable thing to do. On the contrary, psychologists call this behavior "mate choice copying."
If you think about it carefully, the standards for men in Xia Lin's circle must be incredibly high. Most men they meet on their own probably don't make the cut. After all, both Xia Lin and Xu Xinran possess exceptional qualities themselves.
Su Bai decided not to rack his brains over it. He couldn't be bothered to guess what Xu Xinran was thinking. In short, business was business; if they needed to cooperate, they would.
Chen Yusheng was particularly enthusiastic today, possibly because she hadn't watched enough anime with Su Bai at home recently.
But she also had research papers to read, which created a conflict. She was a little torn inside: should she continue watching anime or read her papers?
To be honest, both were things Chen Yusheng loved from the bottom of her heart.
Actually, Chen Yusheng was very honest. For instance, if she liked watching anime with Su Bai, she would admit it straightforwardly. Some girls wouldn't say it out loud and would just be stubborn. In their view, having sex meant they were losing out, so they had to pretend they didn't want it to manipulate their boyfriends... To Chen Yusheng, that style was too twisted and boring.
If you like something, you should say it loud and clear!
So, the genius AI girl had a sudden inspiration and suggested that the two things could actually be done simultaneously.
"Huh? Are you serious?" Su Bai was shocked. Although he had long known that Shengsheng had some wild ideas, could one really multitask with *that*?
Chen Yusheng nodded with a serious face. "Not only is it possible, but I think it can also improve my efficiency in reading papers. Hmm... after all, sometimes when I read boring studies, it's easy to get distracted and then... start thinking about you."
She couldn't help laughing out loud after saying that.
If anything, this was definitely her own issue. She was too deep and invested in love; she was the kind of girl who was clingy to her very bones.
"Alright then, let's give it a try..."
Chen Yusheng found a stool without a backrest.
She placed it in a suitable position, kneeled on the stool herself, and held onto the desk. From this angle, reading papers or even writing code was no problem.
At the same time, her waist habitually sank down.
Ah, that showed real intuition.
As the saying goes, novices stick their butts up, while veterans sink their waists.
Clearly, having undergone Su Bai's long-term training, Chen Yusheng already understood all sorts of details and techniques.
At this moment, wisps of sunlight filtered through the curtains, sprinkling over the girl's hair tips. She stared intently at the literature in her hand, occasionally looking up at the computer screen. She was actually immersed in thought, yet her body was posed in such a seductive manner.
Su Bai was instantly aroused by her...
...
Lunch.
Su Bai chose a rather niche cafeteria within River City University. It was in a remote location; the nearest classrooms were the practice rooms for art students.
Wan Xinyan said the spicy marinated seafood in this small cafeteria was delicious and wanted to eat it with Su Bai. After class, the sisters even drove their GLE to pick him up.
Not bad, meow. A little maid who knows how to share good food is a good maid!
Upon entering the cafeteria, Su Bai sat down and waited to eat. Wan Xinyue went to get the food. Besides the marinated seafood, there were a few stir-fry dishes that were quite good, so they planned to order them all. Brother Su Bai had a huge appetite.
Along with the improvement in his physical fitness, his appetite had increased synchronously. Su Bai didn't think this was a bad thing; after all, he made money by indulging in food anyway.
Wan Xinyan, however, was very surprised and found it a bit novel. After all, both she and her sister ate very little, and she had never seen anyone eat as much as Su Bai in her life.
Perhaps Brother Su Bai's prowess—strength so intense it made one blush just thinking about it—stemmed from this?
As the old folks often say, being able to eat and sleep well means good health.
"Brother Su Bai, I've finished the PowerPoint for the elective class presentation this afternoon. Take a look and see if anything needs changing." Wan Xinyan opened her laptop and placed it in front of Su Bai.
"Oh? So the presentation is this afternoon..." Su Bai had forgotten about it. After all, Wan Xinyan had taken charge of everything. Although it was supposedly a team effort between Su Bai and the Wan sisters, practically speaking, the two of them were doing all the work.
It turned out that having little maids in university had such wonderful uses. Those boring and time-consuming elective assignments could be handed over to them directly. Truly reliable.
Su Bai flipped through the slides and didn't see any errors. He could tell that Wan Xinyan had quite good taste; the entire presentation was concise, smooth, and polished. It was indeed much stronger than the level of most freshmen.
Except for students from developed regions who had been exposed to comprehensive education since middle school, many people didn't know how to give presentations or write substantial essays when they first started university... These things were quite different from college entrance exam essays.
"Not bad. With this level of skill, you'd be a formidable player in the corporate world."
"No, no, I didn't make it. My sister did."
"Oh?" This surprised Su Bai quite a bit. "It seems Yueyue is very talented in this area then."
"Yes, yes! Actually, my sister is very smart. It's just that she's introverted. She might look a bit slow, but she's actually incredibly witty."
Speaking of this, Wan Xinyan was quite proud. Outsiders thought she was the lively and socially adept one while her sister had no presence, but she knew her sister had many small talents, such as making presentation materials or driving... skills that she, Wan Xinyan, couldn't catch up to even if she tried.
So, working together with her sister was their strongest form.
A while later, Wan Xinyue returned, bringing the dishes one by one.
Two female classmates followed her, seemingly exchanging pleasantries with her, but their eyes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Su Bai.
Both girls were somewhat attractive. One was wearing a low-cut top, and the other was in hot pants... Wait, what kind of weather was it? Wearing that? Were they really not afraid of the cold?
By now, Su Bai could easily tell which girls were interested in him. For example, these two were clearly trying to show off in front of him.
Since he became rich, there had been too many girls like this. Su Bai felt he was becoming immune.
Opening his system panel, Su Bai glanced at their relationship counts. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile of lament, and he gently shook his head.
These girls from the art department were indeed not to be underestimated!
They looked no different from ordinary female college students, just slightly better at dressing up and applying makeup... After all, they had to learn makeup for their art exams, so their proficiency was indeed higher than students in ordinary majors who only started learning after the college entrance exams.
Who knew their relationship counts would be so terrifying... One of them actually displayed the status that "someone had died in the house"!
Good heavens, the Broadcasting and Hosting department is impressive; truly full of legendary figures.
And yet, it was said that girls from the same department often slandered the Wan sisters and spread various rumors. Where did these bitches get the nerve, I'd like to ask?
The Wan sisters were so clean and self-disciplined. They didn't lead people on or flirt around. When they were with Su Bai, they worked diligently. They were far superior to those gossiping shrews.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
