Chen Yusheng's Affection Breaks Eighty, Su Bai Has a Bold Idea!

To prevent any incidents, Wang Haoran chivalrously accompanied Chu Mingzhe to the infirmary.

Judging by his demeanor, he was clearly upset by the intimate behavior between Su Bai and Chen Yusheng. If he wasn't looked after, something bad might happen.

"Young man, your body is fine. Your spleen and stomach are a bit weak, so try not to stay up late."

School Hospital.

The doctor smiled as he put away his stethoscope and retracted his hand from taking Chu Mingzhe's pulse.

He then added, "And less Taoist temples."

Chu Mingzhe: "..."

"To be safe, let's do a blood count. If you still feel unwell, I'll prescribe some moxibustion therapy. If everything's fine, you can go."

Wang Haoran was confused. "Doctor, are you practicing traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine? I'd like to know."

It didn't matter, as long as Hu Ye was alright, that was good.

Sitting on the bench outside the emergency room, Chu Mingzhe stared blankly ahead.

He suddenly muttered, "Why? Damn it, why is Chen Yusheng so enthusiastic about Su Bai?"

"Uh, who can really say about matters of the heart? Don't overthink it."

Wang Haoran offered some comfort, but his thoughts were completely different.

He knew about Bai Ge's hidden strengths.

Rich, good personality, handsome – he seemed like a perfect match for Chen Yusheng.

Jiangcheng University South Gate, Computer City.

Computer City in this era was clearly in decline.

With the rise of self-media, everyone knew that unscrupulous vendors were like bottomless pits.

They'd rip off strangers by half and completely fleece acquaintances.

"i9-class CPU, military-grade motherboard, server-grade memory..." They'd brag endlessly, but in reality, it was all electronic junk scavenged from who-knows-where, assembled into computers that looked high-tech to deceive the uninformed.

A computer that cost 600 yuan to build would be sold to you for 5,600 yuan, a profit of 5,000 yuan with tears of joy.

Nowadays, anyone who regularly watched educational videos wouldn't come to Computer City to get fleeced.

However, Chen Yusheng was an exception.

She was very familiar with the principles of hardware and software, as well as market prices.

She had even procured items for Professor Luo before.

Therefore, she could actually get good deals at Computer City, essentially bypassing various agents and getting prices slightly lower than online retailers.

That was Chen Yusheng's skill.

No wonder Professor Luo praised this freshman to everyone he met, saying how amazing she was. And indeed, she was amazing – she could code, handle procurement, and was an honest, straightforward person who wouldn't embezzle. Su Bai even suspected Professor Luo of exploiting her labor...

As a result, Su Bai didn't need to think at all; he just followed Chen Yusheng, enjoying watching her haggle.

Undoubtedly, Chen Yusheng was socially anxious.

But when it came to her favorite professional fields, she displayed a decisive, even ruthless, demeanor.

She would occasionally turn to ask Su Bai about his needs and then negotiate with the computer parts vendors based on those requirements.

Soon, she had put together a complete configuration.

She then gathered all the components and had them assembled and tested on-site at a shop that had a long-term partnership with Professor Luo's lab.

"Oh, Xiao Chen, this computer doesn't look like it's for the lab. With so many RGB light strips, Professor Luo might think you're playing games in the lab," said the boss, a kind elderly aunt, while cracking melon seeds and offering her commentary.

"It is for gaming. I'm building it for him."

Chen Yusheng, busy at work, looked up at Su Bai.

The boss caught the affectionate glint in her eyes.

She didn't expose it, just chuckled, sizing up Su Bai.

"Hmm, not bad. The young man is well-built and good-looking. If he can afford a computer worth tens of thousands, his family is probably not bad off either."

Su Bai was oblivious to the boss's scrutiny; he was focused on watching Chen Yusheng assemble the computer.

She was quite skilled.

Definitely better than Su Bai.

And yet, she claimed her practical skills weren't great. That was pure modesty.

Or perhaps, in comparison, her other skills were even more impressive, and her so-called "not great" was only relative to herself.

"...Why do you keep looking at me?"

"It's fun watching you build a PC. Honestly, before I met you, I never thought I'd be assembling a computer with a girl. This is pretty cool, you know!"

"Stop with the nonsense and give me a hand."

The two worked together, disassembling and reassembling partitions, screwing in bolts, and so on.

During the process, their fingers inevitably brushed against each other.

An ambiguous atmosphere gradually brewed.

Meanwhile, Chen Yusheng's mind was buzzing with Su Bai's words.

It seemed that in Su Bai's eyes, she was also a special existence. Hmph…

Soon, the computer was assembled and powered on.

Next came the installation of the operating system and relevant drivers.

With everything ready, it was time to run a benchmark to test the computer's capabilities!

The score that came back was higher than Su Bai had anticipated.

Su Bai was slightly puzzled. Chen Yusheng explained, "I've set up a set of overclocking parameters for you. It will perform better than the standard settings."

"Sounds amazing. It's not going to explode, right?"

"No, the power supply and cooling have plenty of headroom. It can definitely handle it. After all, you maxed out your budget, and I found the best parts for you."

Chen Yusheng sounded very confident.

The Razer PC Su Bai had initially wanted to buy would have cost around seventy to eighty thousand yuan. Chen Yusheng said it wasn't cost-effective, and the setup she ended up building for him cost a full hundred thousand yuan, which was quite outrageous.

But it was indeed more powerful!

It also looked good, with a strong sense of technological aesthetics.

It was absolutely a man's dream gaming rig!

Su Bai paid the money, found a cardboard box with foam padding, packed the computer, and carried it to the car.

The heavy desktop tower felt as light as nothing on Su Bai's shoulder.

He then carried a monitor made with a top-tier panel, along with peripherals like a keyboard, mouse, and headset. Everything was complete.

The entire setup cost over a hundred thousand yuan, with a rebate of around five hundred thousand yuan.

"Where are we going now?" Chen Yusheng asked. "It shouldn't be the dorms, right? The power supply for this setup won't be able to handle the limited electricity there."

"Definitely not. I'm staying at a hotel near the school right now. We'll take it straight to the hotel. Once I find a long-term place, I'll move it again."

"Oh."

Chen Yusheng immediately thought that the hotel Su Bai was staying at must not be ordinary.

As expected, the car drove to the JW Marriott.

Chen Yusheng knew the hotel brand and knew it was expensive.

However, as she followed Su Bai into the river-view suite, she didn't feel particularly impressed by its grandeur.

This was a stark contrast to Zhou Jialu.

After all, Chen Yusheng wasn't interested in such luxurious material possessions; she cared about other things.

If the room were filled with computing cards for AI research, Chen Yusheng might have been as excited as Zhou Jialu was when she walked in.

After helping Su Bai set up the computer, Chen Yusheng belatedly realized that she was alone with him in a hotel room he had booked.

In this regard, Chen Yusheng had always been very cautious and would never be alone with a man in an enclosed space.

Yet, being with Su Bai felt so natural, and her guard was completely down.

Chen Yusheng valued rigorous logic. Analyzing this phenomenon, it proved that Su Bai's position in her heart was no longer just that of a friend.

Or, as Su Bai had said, a "soulmate."

Sigh…

She had fallen for him, hopelessly.

Chen Yusheng thought resentfully.

[Ding!]

[Ding! Detected S-Class Goddess Chen Yusheng's favorability towards Su Bai has surpassed 80 points. Intimate relationship binding successful!]

[Reward: One gacha draw!]

[Now, spending on Chen Yusheng and fulfilling her desires can also earn the host a 2 to 10 times rebate!]

Oh?

This had also surpassed 80 points?

Actually, Su Bai wasn't surprised. After all, he genuinely felt a strong connection with Chen Yusheng.

However, with a girl who had such strong self-esteem and whose family background seemed to have hidden secrets, he couldn't rush things; he had to woo her slowly.

To think she had fallen for him so quickly, becoming a "deeply unforgettable romance."

So, Su Bai began to guide the conversation:

"Sheng Sheng, I have a bold idea…"
