What Chen Shuo did not expect was that Su Xiyan could still calm down to think about the problem even in such a critical moment.
He also knew that as long as his answer had even a tiny loophole, it would be spotted by Su Xiyan.
Chen Shuo's brain was working very fast. In order not to expose his motive to Su Xiyan, his CPU was almost burnt out.
Under the powerful aura of Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo looked calm and composed: "Of course it was to go back to the dormitory to pick up my stuff!"
"This afternoon you insisted on making decisions for me. You were too rushed to handle the dormitory move-out procedures. When you went back to the dormitory to pack up my things, you even stared at me at the door as if you were afraid I would run away."
"Men and women are different. There must be some private items that can't be packed under a girl's nose, right?"
"I happened to run into you because this route is closer. Who would have known?"
"You should thank me. If it wasn't for me, you would have been taken away as a suspect by now. Do you want me to visit you in jail and sing 'Tears on the Iron Bars' for you?"
Hearing this, it sounded quite reasonable.
But Su Xiyan felt that she could not lose momentum. She straightened her chest and said, "What do I fear? It wasn't me who killed that person anyway."
Chen Shuo retorted: "Then why did you run? Why did you hide?"
Su Xiyan: "!!!"
Chen Shuo took the opportunity to change the subject: "Let's go! If someone finds us later, we'll be done for."
"Senior sister, you don't want to be investigated either, do you?"
Su Xiyan didn't say anything. She followed behind Chen Shuo. The two of them walked along the rugged mountain path from the back hill of the school and entered the campus.
All the way, Chen Shuo was very skilled at leading Su Xiyan to avoid spots that could be captured by security cameras. He was extremely experienced, as if he had really walked this path many times in darkness before.
Hearing this, Su Xiyan's doubts about Chen Shuo dissipated a little.
Since Chen Shuo had made up the reason, he had no choice but to go with the flow and pretend to go back to the dormitory to pick up his stuff.
When Chen Shuo returned to the dormitory, he was immediately surrounded by his three roommates.
The chubby Zhu Fei, the seemingly waistless Shen Xu, and the bookish bespectacled Lu Chen looked at Chen Shuo as if they were looking at an admired boss.
In the eyes of all three, envy and jealousy were written all over.
"Chen Shuo, you're awesome! You hid it so deep!"
"The whole school already knows that the campus belle Su is your family member now."
"I said there was something strange about you. From enrollment until now, you have never looked straight at the campus beauty Su. When we usually praise the epochal beauty of the campus belle Su, you didn't give a damn!"
"So it turns out that the campus belle Su is your family member!"
"Come clean. What kind of family member is she? Cousin? Or cousin once removed? Or...half sibling with same mother but different fathers?"
"I heard that after you moved out, you lived together with the campus beauty?"
"Being with such a heavenly beauty every day must have brought you to paradise, right?"
Chen Shuo felt speechless, but he also didn't know where to start explaining.
"..."
"You guys have such rich imaginations, huh?"
"I didn't make it to paradise, but I almost made it to heaven."
As Chen Shuo spoke, he went to the windowsill to take over the succulents he had bought not long ago. He found a bag to pack them nicely, so as to put on a good show in front of Su Xiyan.
Carrying the bag, Chen Shuo walked to the door and temporarily bid farewell to his roommates.
"I'll try to move back as soon as possible. Don't miss me too much, brothers."
Just after he finished talking, the heads of the three roommates, fat and thin, shook like rattles: "No, no, no! You'd better not come back."
Lu Chen took out the U disk he had treasured for years: "This has all my favorite teacher videos. It's all yours now."
The fat guy Zhu Fei stuffed the game controller along with the packaging box to Chen Shuo: "Just bought it. There are still many licensed games inside. Remember to help me play through them."
Shen Xu, with eye bags hanging to his chin, was even more generous: "I don't have much to give you. This is a 3090 graphics card. Just removed from my PC. It's still hot!"
"Go be the housekeeper for the campus beauty!"
"Our happiness is now in your hands!"
"Remember to find out what kind of guys the campus beauty Su likes for us!"
Chen Shuo thought to himself that he had seen fearless people before, but never people so eager to court death.
Since the gifts were right in front of his eyes, it would be rude not to accept them.
Chen Shuo took all the generous gifts offered by his three roommates and packed them into bags, under their eager anticipation. Then he left the dorm, loads of stuff in hands.
Su Xiyan was waiting for Chen Shuo not far from the male dormitory building.
She kept wondering if things that happened tonight were too much of a coincidence?
But Chen Shuo's explanation was also airtight without any loopholes.
It's just too abnormal.
Su Xiyan's hand slowly stretched out from her sleeve. Her fingertips felt a little cold in the night breeze.
The warmth of Chen Shuo's palm was very reassuring, seemed to provide a sense of security.
In all her life, Su Xiyan had never held hands with a boy.
Oh no, it didn't count as holding hands just now, right?
It was just physical contact in an emergency.
What's the big deal?
When fighting vampires as usual, how come she didn't notice that vampires were so warm?
It looks like Chen Shuo, this little vampire, was quite cute and heartwarming.
It would make a nice hand warmer when winter comes and weather gets cold.
Such a happy decision!
Money spent should be money enjoyed.
Seeing Chen Shuo come out from the dormitory building, Su Xiyan quickly pulled her hand back.
"All packed up?"
In addition to several pots of succulents, Chen Shuo was also carrying the gifts from his three roommates. There were quite some stuff.
Suspicion was still shimmering in Su Xiyan's eyes.
Things that happened tonight were just too coincidental!
Under the bright campus lights, the two walked one after the other, their shadows overlapping from time to time.
Su Xiyan's voice was colder than moonlight. She blurted out the question abruptly:
"Chen Shuo, do you know that vampire?"
With Su Xiyan's wit and meticulous thinking, she would definitely get to the bottom of this.
Chen Shuo had already prepared his response when he was in the dormitory.
He deliberately pretended to be impatient: "How is that possible? I don't know any vampires in Su City. I'm just a lone little vampire."
"You are already a demon hunter with golden first-rank ability, and you have a BFF Cheng Xinran whose ability is comparable to radar. With which eyes have you two spotted me interacting with other vampires?"
"I happened to have done you a big favor tonight. Not only did you not thank me, you questioned me instead? Good intentions are rewarded with malicious accusations!"
"If you doubted me so much, why would you let me move into your place to live?"
Chen Shuo got more and more upset. His chest heaved up and down with anger.
His puffed cheeks made people irresistibly want to pinch them.
After venting grievance and emotions, Chen Shuo continued walking ahead with lingering anger, leaving Su Xiyan behind.
Seeing the little puppy get angry was quite amusing!
But Su Xiyan didn't know that when Chen Shuo turned around, his expression instantly changed from grieved anger to calmness.
Seeing Chen Shuo's back, Su Xiyan called him twice: "Chen Shuo? Chen Shuo!"
Chen Shuo pretended not to hear.
Su Xiyan deliberately strengthened her tone:
"Chen Shuo, stop right there for me!"
"If you don't stop, don't blame me for getting tough!!"
When Su Xiyan asserted her authority, even tigers had to surrender on the spot and become sick cats.
Chen Shuo stopped in his tracks: "Why are you calling me?"
"I'm telling you, I'm angry now. The kind that is hard to coax."
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.

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!"
