They arrived at the classroom.
When the handsome guy and beautiful girl walked in side by side, nearly every student in the lecture hall turned their heads to look.
Forget just their looks—both Su Bai and Chen Yusheng were tall, making them twice as eye-catching when standing together.
Their outfits followed a similar style too: American prep with a touch of streetwear.
In fact, Chen Yusheng’s clothes were picked by Su Bai, who had taken inspiration from the outfits Zhou Jialu had styled for him. He’d ordered similar pieces from the same trendy boutique and had them delivered.
The result was impressive.
The way Chen Yusheng and Su Bai stood together gave off strong couple vibes.
Even the professor couldn’t help but glance at them a few extra times, nodding approvingly.
Not bad. Kids these days really are getting better nutrition.
They all look like celebrities.
Chen Yusheng kept a cold expression, her social anxiety flaring up.
Luckily, Su Bai had asked Wang Haoran to save them two seats in the back corner.
Wang Haoran had chosen spots separate from the other two roommates.
The local guy and the Shanghai dude had wisely kept their distance.
They’d already guessed Su Bai and Chen Yusheng would spend the whole class glued together.
If they didn’t steer clear, the jealousy would be unbearable.
“So?” Su Bai asked as he sat down, turning to Wang Haoran.
“Huh? So what?”
“Those two—did they cause any drama back in the dorm?”
In Su Bai’s imagination, the afternoon in their dorm must have been quite the spectacle.
The local guy had always prided himself on being the first to get a girlfriend, constantly bragging in front of Su Bai and dropping hints like, “Looks don’t matter—money’s what gets you a girl.”
Now, he’d been completely humiliated.
Not only had Su Bai also gotten a girlfriend, but she was leagues above Xue Tao’s.
Liu Yuanyuan and Chen Yusheng weren’t even in the same category.
For Xue Tao’s ego, it was nothing short of a devastating blow.
Even before getting the system, Su Bai had never cared about Xue Tao’s boasting.
After all, he had zero interest in girls like Liu Yuanyuan.
Now? Su Bai didn’t mind twisting the knife a little.
When it came to his two “legendary” roommates, Su Bai treated them the same way “Arnold trainers” treated Arnold—completely indifferent to their feelings, unaffected by their antics.
Pure entertainment.
That had always been his approach. If someone treated him well, he’d return the kindness.
But for clowns like Xue Tao? Different story.
“You called it,” Wang Haoran said. “Xue Tao was so pissed he couldn’t even nap. Totally wrecked.”
“Was that even a guess?” Su Bai smirked. “Xue Tao spends every day lurking in freshman group chats, digging up who’s dating who, then demanding photos to compare with Liu Yuanyuan…”
“Dead on!” Wang Haoran nodded. “Dude’s insane. What’s the point? If they’re ‘better,’ doesn’t that just make him feel worse?”
“If they’re better, he just claims the photos are edited. ‘Obviously fake.’”
“Hahaha… So he has to win no matter what? Classic Xue Tao logic.”
“Rumor is a few classmates complained to Xia about it, but I guess he thought it wasn’t worth dealing with.”
“Honestly, that’s the right call. If he stepped in, we’d miss out on all the fun.”
Wang Haoran was a troll too, always waiting for the local guy and the Shanghai dude to pull some new stunt.
At the other end of the classroom,
Xue Tao watched as Su Bai sat with his cold, studious girlfriend on his left and his best buddy on his right—the picture of a campus alpha male.
Xue Tao gritted his teeth.
How could this be?!
This should be my life!
I, Xue Tao, should be the center of attention in class, not some small-town upstart like Su Bai who flaunts his newfound wealth.
The thought of Su Bai and Chen Yusheng getting intimate at an off-campus hotel not long ago made Xue Tao tremble with rage.
Damn it! I haven’t even had a taste yet, and this broke-ass outsider gets to enjoy her first?!
This train of thought inevitably led him to Liu Yuanyuan.
Speaking of which, that woman had only ever let him hold her hand—no kisses, not even on the cheek.
Frustrated, Xue Tao pulled out his phone and messaged her.
[Xue ZhiTao: You know Su Bai and Chen Yusheng are dating, right? [eyeroll][eyeroll]]
[Yuanyuan: …]
[Yuanyuan: Of course I know. They even made it official on social media.]
[Yuanyuan: Look how creative Su Bai’s announcement post was. Meanwhile, yours was so cringe~]
[Xue ZhiTao: Mine was classy!]
[Xue ZhiTao: Su Bai’s a joke. Chen Yusheng’s just too naive to see it now.]
[Xue ZhiTao: Once she grows up and sees the real world, she’ll dump him in a heartbeat.]
[Yuanyuan: Oh? So you’re planning to swoop in when she does? [punch][punch]]
[Xue ZhiTao: Haha, Yuanyuan, don’t be ridiculous! You’re the only one for me!]
As he typed, Xue Tao scoffed.
Liu Yuanyuan was acting up again.
Some truths were universally understood but left unspoken.
For instance, a stunning, sophisticated girl like Chen Yusheng?
No matter how many times she broke up, there’d always be guys lining up for her.
That’s just how it worked.
Liu Yuanyuan, on the other hand… well, that was a different story.
But Xue Tao couldn’t say that outright, so every time Liu Yuanyuan spiraled over envy of her gorgeous roommate, he had to coddle her.
Or, as the trendy term went, "provide emotional value."
Normally, he tolerated it—partly for the bragging rights of being "taken," partly because Liu Yuanyuan was at least moderately pretty.
The problem today? Su Bai had already put him in a foul mood.
And now, Liu Yuanyuan’s texts carried a weird undertone.
She almost sounded… jealous that Chen Yusheng was with Su Bai?!
Xue Tao had zero filter. Unable to hold back, he typed:
[Xue ZhiTao: Su Bai’s a pretty mid-tier boyfriend, honestly. Why do you sound so impressed? You’re lucky to be with me—shouldn’t that be what people envy?]
In another lecture hall, Liu Yuanyuan nearly choked on her rage when she read the message.
“Yuanyuan, you okay?”
“Cough… I’m fine…”
“It’s flu season—take care, alright?”
A classmate beside her patted her back.
“Thanks,” Liu Yuanyuan forced a grateful smile.
Then she glanced back at her phone, and her blood pressure spiked again.
Xue Tao, your emotional IQ is truly legendary.
I’m not asking you to be as considerate as a girl, but at least have some basic manners, right?
What kind of line is "I’m lucky to be with you"?!
As if Liu Yuanyuan scored some kind of jackpot.
Is this how a normal person talks to their girlfriend? Unbelievable…
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
