McDonald's Is the Warm Harbor

A person's inner core is very hard to hide.

For example, Xue Tao was always bragging to Huang Ran about his family's power in Jiangcheng. However, his usual behavior patterns clearly proved that his family actually had no real status and he was just bluffing.

In contrast, an aura like Su Bai's was the mark of true family wealth.

Moreover, his romantic experience must be very rich.

Huang Ran absolutely wouldn't consider this kind of man. His level was higher than hers, his stats were higher than hers, and there was absolutely no way to squeeze any profit out of him.

Only those "naive and inexperienced" rich boys were suitable for a shakedown.

The three of them entered the lecture room and found seats.

Su Bai, harboring a desire to watch the drama unfold, sat right next to Xue Tao.

Anyway, Xia wouldn't come to listen to this kind of lecture. She wasn't an outdoors newbie, nor did she need this kind of social occasion.

On the other hand, the fashionably dressed men in the room, chatting loudly in groups of two or three, seemed to take this occasion very seriously.

These were probably the owners of those 56E cars in the parking lot, right?

Su Bai thought to himself.

They certainly all looked like successful people. To the girls in the university, this must be a crushing dimensional strike, right?

At this moment, in another corner of the lecture hall, Liu Yuanyuan was sitting with her senior.

She saw Xue Tao walk in with that woman from another university, but she pretended not to notice at all.

In this kind of situation, it all came down to who cracked first. If Xue Tao was socializing with other girls and she couldn't hold back, wouldn't that mean she lost?

That's right. In Liu Yuanyuan's eyes, you absolutely had to win in a relationship. Never mind who was right or wrong, you just had to win.

This seemed to be the unanimous thought of many girls.

You had to gain the upper hand.

It was equivalent to thinking that going out and not finding money on the ground was a loss.

As for Su Bai, who had come in and sat down with them, Liu Yuanyuan simply ignored him entirely, though her heart couldn't help but bleed profusely.

Damn it!

If she hadn't made a strategic misjudgment at the start of the semester and chosen Xue Tao instead of going after Su Bai, she might be living a life of wealth and glory right now. Why would she need to tag along beside this senior, forcing smiles!

Overflowing with self-confidence, Liu Yuanyuan stubbornly believed that she just hadn't acted early enough, never reflecting on the objective gap in conditions between herself and her roommates in the Goddess Dorm.

"God Su truly lives up to his name. Look at that casual jacket. The cut is actually quite hard to pull off. Only a man like God Su, with a good figure and innate noble air, can manage it." The senior glanced over at Su Bai a few more times and praised him.

Bro, what are you focusing on... Liu Yuanyuan was furious. When she first met this senior, he acted like a suave second-generation rich kid. But once he found out she knew Su Bai, he constantly wanted her to play matchmaker, making Liu Yuanyuan doubt his sexual orientation.

If it weren't for the lustful looks the senior gave her, Liu Yuanyuan really would have interrogated him.

So, Su Bai's connections were considered this important by the rich guys?

"By the way, there are a lot of girls participating in this event. I've already seen several I know, but there are relatively few undergraduate guys," Liu Yuanyuan muttered.

The senior nodded. "That's normal. In our school, generally speaking, girls are better at enjoying life. The guys are mostly buried in their studies, and if they have free time, they're usually playing games in their dorms. Oh right, later during the free teaming session, I'll introduce you to some older alumni."

"Free teaming?"

"Yeah. Tomorrow's plan is that after hiking to the designated location, we'll split into groups to play games. Haha, icebreaker games, you know, to make it easier to get to know the successful alumni. There are even entrepreneurs here whose companies have successfully listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. It definitely won't hurt to meet them!"

Looking at the senior's calculating "let me show you high society" expression, Liu Yuanyuan's feelings were a bit complicated. Honestly, she wasn't against meeting successful alumni, but why did his attitude make it feel like he was going to sell her out?

Looking again at the girls in the classroom, quite a few had already sat down next to successful alumni and started chatting.

Their obedient and sweet appearances were worlds apart from the aloof and arrogant attitudes they displayed in front of boys their own age.

Oh my god, so this was the true face of the camping trip?

Liu Yuanyuan felt a bit dizzy.

To be honest, although she loved money too, she hadn't thought about it on this level. Compared to dating outsiders, finding a rich classmate obviously sounded much more respectable.

Su Bai also noticed the magical nature of the scene. Slapping his thigh, he repeatedly sighed, "This damn outdoor association really has something going on. Not bad, not bad. After I graduate, I'm going to come back every year for the camping trip to hook up with junior girls."

"..." Xue Tao choked on Su Bai's words. Bro, with your stats, do you really need all these tricks to hook up with junior girls, I ask you?

Huang Ran was also amused by Su Bai and covered her mouth to laugh.

Soon, the briefing session began, introducing some basic knowledge about camping. Su Bai listened with great interest; this was exactly what he came to hear. On the contrary, the other people in the classroom didn't seem very focused. After all, for them, this camping activity was primarily a social platform.

Xue Tao also tried to listen seriously for a while, but unfortunately, his ability to concentrate had already been ruined by half a year of college life.

Very few people listened seriously to lectures in college. Even the top students preferred to take the materials and self-study, which was more efficient.

The teachers' minds weren't really on teaching either. The main performance indicator for college teachers was scientific research; teaching was just something to muddle through.

This led to Xue Tao's mind starting to wander after only trying to use his brain for a short while.

He couldn't help but pay attention to Liu Yuanyuan and the senior in the other corner of the front row.

He secretly complained to Su Bai, "Brother Bai, tell me, how can this woman be so heartless? She hasn't even broken up with me yet, and she's already going camping with another man."

"Aren't you also here camping with another woman?" Su Bai gave him a side-eye.

"Is that the same? This is my reasonable counterattack, and I'm going to make it clear to her that we're breaking up. She's the one actively causing trouble! Sigh, why do women love causing trouble so much?"

Looking at Xue Tao's distressed face, Su Bai actually felt that this guy was finally about to snap out of Liu Yuanyuan's spell. How should he put it? Even a weirdo like Xue Tao could grow up.

On the other hand, Master Hu... no, wait, where was Master Hu?

Su Bai searched carefully, but he didn't find Chu Mingzhe or Leilei in the room. Logically, they had arrived outside, and no matter how much they dawdled, they should have come in by now. But they hadn't.

Could it be that the Mine Girl's social anxiety flared up and she fled at the last minute?

You know, it really wasn't impossible. Some girls had personalities with severe social anxiety, and they would feel physically uncomfortable as soon as they entered crowded places.

Su Bai sent a private WeChat message to ask, and sure enough, Chu Mingzhe said Leilei suddenly felt unwell, so he took her to the McDonald's at the school gate.

Clearly, compared to the overcrowded lecture hall full of normies harboring ulterior motives, McDonald's was a much warmer safe haven for the Mine Girl!

Unexpected, yet making perfect sense.

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

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.
