The issue was quickly resolved, as Su Bai had sent her a message while she was showering, saying he’d ordered her some takeout and bought her clothes. The delivery was left right at the hotel room door, hanging on the handle.
Chen Yusheng wrapped herself tightly in the bathrobe, leaving not an inch of skin exposed. That way, even if she ran into a stranger in the hallway while retrieving the package, she wouldn’t look improper.
Truth be told, Chen Yusheng dressed quite conservatively. In the summer, for instance, she usually wore long skirts—long skirts paired with black tights, which sounded a bit odd. But her cool, scholarly demeanor was the only thing that could pull it off.
No strangers were around.
She retrieved a large, opaque plastic bag.
It felt like opening a blind box.
Chen Yusheng’s heart suddenly raced a little. Now that she thought about it, this was probably the first time Su Bai had ever bought her clothes.
What a bizarre scenario.
After a night of chaos, she’d slept until the afternoon in a luxurious hotel room, only for the playboy who’d disappeared who-knows-where to send her a “clothing delivery”…
“Alright, let’s see what kind of taste this big white goose has… Hmm.”
The first things that caught her eye were a long-sleeved autumn jacket and pants from Uniqlo.
Nothing special.
Perfect for wearing back to campus.
Su Bai had bought her a size 170, slightly on the smaller side—exactly her size for this brand. Heh, how thoughtful of the big white goose.
Wait… this didn’t seem like Uniqlo.
It wasn’t until Chen Yusheng tried the clothes on that she realized it.
The logo just looked similar, but the texture of the fabric felt undeniably expensive. “There’s no way this is Uniqlo!”
She snapped a photo of the logo and ran it through an image search. Turns out, it was a niche streetwear brand.
A quick glance at their official website showed that their prices were outrageous.
Though admittedly, the clothes were stylish and made with high-quality materials.
These were the kind of nice clothes Chen Yusheng had never been able to justify buying for herself.
Oh well, no point dwelling on the price—to Su Bai, this was pocket change.
If she was going to be pampered by the big white goose, she might as well embrace the mindset of being pampered!
Next, Chen Yusheng turned her attention to the remaining items in the bag.
Hmm…
These were a bit harder to judge.
Two pairs of black tights from an international luxury brand.
As a connoisseur of tights, Chen Yusheng was well-versed in the offerings of various brands.
She knew the affordable online store options best—those around fifty yuan a pair, offering great value, durability, and comfort, with just enough design flair to satisfy a girl’s love for beauty.
As for the pricier, semi-luxury brands, she wasn’t as familiar, but the one Su Bai had bought was legendary—how could she not recognize it?
Even the basic models cost two to three hundred yuan, and the high-end lines rarely dipped below five hundred.
Instantly, Chen Yusheng’s interest was piqued. Her eyes sparkled as she eagerly unwrapped the tights and tried them on.
Wow. Five-hundred-yuan tights really were on another level compared to fifty-yuan ones.
The silky texture, the reassuring snugness, the smooth yet just-right resistance…
The second pair was also black, slightly thinner.
But its most striking feature was that it was… that kind.
Combined with the other item in the bag—a silk slip dress—Chen Yusheng immediately understood the intended use for these two pieces.
“Ugh, this big white goose… He’s not even back yet, and he’s already thinking about… Hmph.”
Grumbling under her breath, Chen Yusheng nonetheless obediently changed into the outfit Su Bai had bought for her.
A light brown silk slip dress paired with 15D matte-finish… black tights.
The big white goose had decent taste.
The glossy silk slip dress, combined with Chen Yusheng’s cool yet slightly youthful beauty, added a touch of mature sensuality.
The matte tights created an air of mystery from the waist down.
If they’d been paired with shiny black tights, the look would’ve felt mismatched.
Not bad at all.
Just as Chen Yusheng was admiring herself in the mirror, Su Bai returned.
The moment he pushed the door open, he was met with the sight of the stunningly beautiful, aloof academic goddess.
He froze for a second.
Her freshly washed, sleek black hair still carried a hint of moisture, complementing the misty haze in her eyes.
Chen Yusheng bit her lip, a faint glimmer of smug mischief flashing in her gaze. “Do I look good?”
“…Yeah.”
“Then shouldn’t you do something about it?”
……
Half an hour later.
The presidential suite had a delicate little round table—small, but more than enough for one person to eat at.
Chen Yusheng sat there, happily devouring a bowl of spicy hotpot, looking utterly content.
She crossed her legs leisurely.
As he watched her, Su Bai suddenly remarked,
“It’s surprising that a girl as lovely as Yusheng never had anyone chasing after her.”
“I did,” Chen Yusheng slurped up a mouthful of noodles, her words slightly muffled. “Boys have been after me since elementary school, but they all got scared off pretty easily.”
“Because you’re too aloof?”
“Mhm.”
“Guess I’m just thick-skinned, then.”
“Wrong. You’re just stats-heavy.”
The moment those words left her mouth, the two locked eyes and burst into genuine laughter.
It was true.
A girl like Chen Yusheng, if fate hadn’t been forcibly altered, would’ve spent all four years of university buried in studies, research, and making money.
Burdened by responsibilities and her own temperament, she would never have stepped into a relationship.
Unless someone could resolve all her worries—but how many people, whether wealthy students or middle-aged tycoons, would be willing to drop over three million yuan just to treat Chen Yusheng’s mother’s illness?
So she wasn’t wrong. Su Bai was a stats monster, and Su Bai just happened to like her a lot—that was what made their relationship possible.
……
“From now on, wear tights of this quality. You can toss all the old ones.”
“Okay.”
“For clothes, I’ll take you shopping when we have time. If you’d rather shop online, just send me the bill.”
“You already gave me an allowance—100,000 yuan.”
“That’s your monthly fixed allowance. Clothes are a separate expense.”
Yeah, right. If you don’t make me pay for them, who’s gonna cover the indulgence cashback I’m counting on?
Su Bai had it all figured out.
He wasn’t the type to spend money on women for no reason. The more a woman adored him, the more satisfying it was to splurge on her.
“If these tights feel comfortable, I’ll order a few more pairs later so you can rotate them.”
“They really are comfy.”
……
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.
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)
