There you go, making assumptions again...
Within this grad-school trio, Sister Baoyan was relatively normal. She figured that Grad-School Bro was probably in the same class as Su Bai, and after taking too many blows on various bizarre levels, he had developed a sense of jealousy.
Furthermore, Grad-School Bro seemed to have some weird filter when it came to girls with good grades.
He always felt that Su Bai was holding Chen Yusheng back.
How could that be possible?
Sister Baoyan was in a higher grade, and she had heard many people talking about how Chen Yusheng only had so many resources in the research group because she was riding Su Bai's coattails.
Before becoming a couple with Su Bai, she mainly did the miscellaneous and exhausting chores. She was never treated like a treasure by Professor Luo the way she was now.
Professors were also very practical.
There was a completely different feeling between using funds painstakingly applied for from the government and using funds gifted by corporations.
As for the layer of backing from Su Bai and Xia Lin, that was beyond what the relatively simple minds of the grad-school trio could fathom.
The university system also had its own prestige; it wasn't as if just having money and being willing to throw it around guaranteed you would be valued.
As for what it would become in the future as situations changed, it was hard to say.
What will our universities (choking back tears) turn into in the future...
In short, the contestants who entered the room looked around at the rather tasteful setup arranged by the Science Association while secretly stealing glances at those three girls.
For this type of competition, a team consisting of three quite attractive girls was indeed a rather rare sight.
It was the equivalent of two enchanter supports going to the bottom lane together, only for the jungler coming to gank to also be an enchanter support. You didn't even need to understand the game well to feel that something was off at first glance.
Of course, this didn't mean that these three girls definitely lacked skills; it was just a high-probability assumption.
Many times, so-called stereotypes were just a primitive form of big data.
Once the staff arrived one after another, the competition began.
Chen Yusheng had no intention of staying here to watch the whole time. She just came to show her face and put in the effort when it was her turn to guide. For the most part, she could just go slack off in Su Bai's office.
Su Bai had bought an entire floor of an office building and sectioned off the largest room with the best view to renovate into an office. He said that in the future, when he met people as the president of White Night Holdings, it would be in this office.
You have to admit, it really did give off a bit of a domineering CEO vibe. It was just that Su Bai was always so playful and cheeky in front of Chen Yusheng, which didn't match the usual personality of a domineering CEO.
Chen Yusheng had always scoffed at female-oriented romance novels. She felt that in so-called domineering CEO literature, the characters' personalities were too rigid. Especially that aloofness... um, let's just say it didn't seem very characteristic of carbon-based lifeforms.
She didn't know why so many girls liked it.
Did normal men speak with a stick up their butts like that?
Su Bai felt much more natural. He even made Chen Yusheng feel that a wealthy person with humanity should be exactly like him, right? Coming up with all sorts of whimsical ideas every day and spending money to do all kinds of weird things.
The president's office was decorated with the highest-grade eco-friendly materials, so even though it hadn't been finished for long, it was safe to stay inside. Of course, it was still best not to sleep in such a room; so-called eco-friendly materials were only relatively eco-friendly.
"Are you done with your stuff?" Su Bai, sprawled out sideways in a massive leather swivel chair, asked when he saw Chen Yusheng walk in.
"Pretty much. It's not my turn yet. I'll go check their architecture right around mealtime... There shouldn't be any problems, it's not exactly difficult stuff. Just toys."
"That's just what you think. In reality, let alone a competition, many students can't even figure out their course design projects."
"Fair enough," Chen Yusheng said, feeling a bit helpless.
"Pay special attention to that girl wearing the windbreaker."
"Huh?"
Chen Yusheng sifted through her memory of the competition venue from earlier. There were actually quite a few people scattered around, and she couldn't remember them all, so she had no idea who Su Bai was talking about.
Su Bai said, "I took a look from the back door just now, and she's indeed the only girl wearing a windbreaker... By the way, do girls generally think those things are tacky and only wear them outdoors?"
"I don't understand fashion either... So who is she?"
"I bumped into her at breakfast. She seems like a very hardworking girl from the normal university next door."
"Just hardworking?"
"She's got good natural features too."
"I knew it!"
Chen Yusheng wore a "just as I expected" expression, feeling a bit resigned.
Su Bai naturally wouldn't pay attention to a girl from another school for no reason. Clearly, he was a little interested in her.
This kind of thing could no longer cause much of a ripple in Chen Yusheng's heart. In fact, she had already adapted to life with a few close female confidantes. From a certain perspective, it was actually pretty great.
In all aspects of life, no matter what she was doing, she could have her sisters accompany her and get sound advice.
For example, ever since Lu Yuning joined the lineup, Chen Yusheng no longer needed to worry about her outfits; she just let Ningning handle it, and that was that.
So, seeing that Su Bai wanted to open a new expansion base, Chen Yusheng only felt a slight, natural feminine urge to vie for favor.
She curled her lips, blinked, and said, "You're asking me to give her special attention, but that's not part of my job as a teaching assistant."
"It's fine, I'll give you a bonus."
"How much?"
"A few hundred million."
"..."
Chen Yusheng had only been joking originally, but Su Bai's answer, combined with his subsequent actions, clearly indicated he was thinking in that direction. Chen Yusheng giggled and playfully wrestled with him for a bit before finally giving in. However, she reminded him with a slightly trembling voice, "Big White Goose, take it easy... Don't make it so I can't walk later. I still have to guide people in programming."
"Hey, aren't you usually the most proud of how durable you are?"
"..."
There was nothing she could do about it. After Su Bai came back from traveling with the Wan sisters, Chen Yusheng had dragged him to a hotel, and they enjoyed their private time together for most of the day. That had completely overdrawn her energy.
Even someone as strong as Shengsheng needed time to recover.
Looking at Chen Yusheng's slightly weakened appearance, Su Bai could also tell from her movements and breathing that her physical condition was indeed still rather frail.
Darn it, it seems her fitness training really needs to be stepped up further! In a couple of days, he would have Xia Lin give her another wave of special training!
Su Bai thought for a moment and said, "I quite like the pantyhose you're wearing today. Hmm, get it?"
"Mhm!"
Chen Yusheng understood instantly, of course. In fact, among the girls, she belonged to the tier that inwardly knew the most tricks. You could call her a closet freak. Having played so many different games with Su Bai, how could she not understand what he wanted when he said he liked her pantyhose today?
This particular task did indeed consume relatively little physical energy. Furthermore, under Su Bai's training, Chen Yusheng's ankles had become incredibly flexible. She even felt that, in this specific area alone, she was much better at it than Xia, the fitness expert!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
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...
