"It is true. Today I even saw a clout-chaser claiming to be a student from our school who also bought a GLE. But after people dug deep in the comments, they found out she was actually from the Art College!"
"What do you have against the Art College?" Xia Lin was amused by her words.
"Oh come on, that crowd is a mixed bag, you can find all sorts of people there. Anyway, I am speechless... Hey, you look exhausted. Could it be that you and your little brother Su Bai were out..."
A gossipy expression appeared on her best friend's face.
For college girls, the most exciting time was when a roommate started dating, and they could gossip like crazy.
Even in grad school, this was no exception.
Or rather, sometimes grad students had an even stronger desire to gossip.
After all, grad school life was, to be honest, quite boring.
Moreover, Xia Lin was the type who had rejected many outstanding suitors, which made her best friend even more curious about what kind of man she would choose for her first love.
Truth be told, her best friend never expected Xia Lin and Su Bai to get together.
It was not that Su Bai was not excellent enough, but rather that he was too young.
She had thought a mature girl like Xia Lin would find someone a few years older, not make a move on a freshman.
"We were out... Oh, you know, just doing things couples do." Xia Lin's pretty face could not help but blush. "It is totally normal, right? If we were not doing it outside, was I supposed to bring him back to the dorm? So you could listen from the next bed?"
"Hahahaha, Linlin, if you are okay with it, I actually would not mind..."
"What are you talking about? You are asking for a beating!"
The two of them roughhoused for a while.
It ended with her best friend begging for mercy.
After all, when it came to physical fitness, very few girls could beat Xia Lin.
These days, girls who genuinely loved working out from the bottom of their hearts were truly rare.
"Hmph, I will let you off the hook for now. But if you say such weird things again, I will tickle you to death!"
"I will not dare, I will not dare! I am scared..."
Her best friend wiped away the tears from laughing so hard. However, she clearly had not learned her lesson and continued asking strange questions. "Hey, I feel like you are very protective of your food, Linlin. Since that is the case, how can you tolerate Su Bai having so many female confidantes?"
This question was actually what her best friend cared about the most.
You have to know that young ladies from wealthy families were actually very domineering. Generally speaking, let alone sharing with other women, they could not even tolerate their boyfriends occasionally cheating emotionally.
Yet Xia Lin did not seem to have any hostility toward those female confidantes.
"Protective of my food? Actually, it is alright... I used to think I definitely would not be able to accept it. But after actually trying it, I surprisingly found it to be pretty nice. It really depends on the person. The girls who are close to Su Bai are all very nice, and I appreciate them a lot."
"So that is how it is!"
Her best friend digested Xia Lin's words.
Suddenly, she found a magical blind spot in them.
"Wait, did you just mean that you have actually tried... sharing?!" Her best friend's eyes widened, her whole being the epitome of shock. "You have tried it in the literal sense? It means what I think it means, right?"
It had to be said, her best friend knew how to dissect words.
It was said that this girl was strong in some subjects and weak in others. During the college entrance exam, although she was not very good at math, physics, and chemistry, she scored over 140 in Chinese.
Xia Lin felt that her best friend really had not done all those reading comprehension exercises back then for nothing!
To think she could find such a bizarre angle of interpretation, respect.
After a brief thought, Xia Lin confessed, "Yeah, actually today... just now, when Su Bai dropped me off, Chen Yusheng was also in the car."
"Huh??"
Her best friend instantly understood what Xia Lin meant.
So it was a threesome all along!
Oh my goodness, such a conservative girl, and now she is playing so wild... Oh wait, you could not really say she was wild. She herself was quite devoted, Su Bai was the wild one!
And the most amazing part was, looking at Xia Lin's expression when she brought it up, she seemed to quite enjoy it?
Her best friend really could not understand it anymore.
...
On the way home, Chen Yusheng suddenly let out a sweet chuckle.
Shengsheng was like this, often, out of nowhere, she would amuse herself.
It was said that people with exceptionally smart brains and active minds were all like this, having conversations with their own thoughts.
That was why some people who later became scholars or scientists were even treated as fools in the countryside when they were young. The people around them thought they were slow, but in fact, these people were just playing games with their own minds.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about Xia just now... and the Xia in the office. They feel like completely different people. In front of strangers, Xia is extremely tough and mature, making it feel like she can protect all of us~"
"All of us, what scope does that refer to?"
"Of course, it means your... mm."
"Haha, that is true."
Su Bai was certain that Xia Lin could handle it.
"But when the three of us... were together, Xia felt like an innocent little girl. She was very timid and needed you to guide her in everything."
"Ahem, indeed."
Su Bai genuinely admired Chen Yusheng's observational skills.
Oh wait, it actually did not require that strong of an observational ability, as long as one had a good mindset. After all, Xia Lin's traits were very obvious. Where Chen Yusheng excelled was that even when her consciousness was blurred, she still maintained that curiosity about her surroundings.
"Tell me, are rich, beautiful girls from wealthy families all essentially pure at heart? I am referring to that aspect. When it comes to work, they are definitely more precocious than girls from ordinary families."
Chen Yusheng discussed this with Su Bai quite excitedly, like a mathematician who had discovered a new theorem.
"Maybe. I think this is just Xia Lin's personal trait. It is actually hard to say. Rich and beautiful girls also have a thousand different faces."
In fact, Chen Yusheng's words made Su Bai think of Xu Xinran.
He and Xu Xinran had already started collaborating in the media sector, and they could be considered long-term partners now.
Moreover, Xu Xinran had repeatedly expressed to Su Bai that she was... interested in him.
This person was even Xia Lin's best friend, yet she did not feel it was twisted at all.
It could only be said that this theorem developed by Chen Yusheng was not accurate.
Xu Xinran's family was also very wealthy, but in that aspect, Xu Xinran clearly was not a little white rabbit. Instead, she was a fierce existence that even left Su Bai in awe.
Su Bai faintly felt that the formation of this personality should also be caused by a special family environment.
Speaking of which, when Su Bai was scrolling through his WeChat Moments, he saw that Xu Xinran also happened to be going out of town for research, and it just so happened to be the province where the Wan Sisters' hometown was located.
He wondered if they would run into each other during this trip.
He hoped there would be some fate between them. Su Bai felt that Xu Xinran kind of wanted to join the camp of female confidantes. If he let her meet the Wan Sisters first, it would actually be a good choice.
Whether it was the Wan Sisters or Zhou Jialu, they both belonged to the type who were good at holding the group together. Very united, you could say.
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?"
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
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)
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...
