A Maiden's Bashfulness Speaks Louder Than a Thousand Words

"Wh-what do you want to do?!"

Chen Yusheng immediately tensed up.

She subconsciously took half a step back, her hands gripping the sides of her chiffon dress, looking utterly pitiable.

Hmm, if Su Bai really made an excessive request, it's not like I couldn't consider it...

Strange, heaven-defying thoughts flashed through the girl's mind.

However, in the next moment, Su Bai said something completely unexpected:

"How about upgrading your equipment too? That way, it'll be more comfortable when you play with me in the dorm."

"...Is that your bold idea?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing!"

Chen Yusheng was inexplicably annoyed. She bit her lip, looking foolish.

She was angry at herself for thinking the wrong thing!

Su Bai was clearly being super serious.

"So, what do you think? Open up JD.com and pick out a computer. A desktop won't be suitable for the dorm due to power restrictions, and you need portability..."

"Yeah, I..."

"Don't say you don't need it. Like I said, I'm doing this to satisfy my own emotional needs. Think about it, if you lag while playing with me, I'll be very unhappy, right? Doesn't that make sense?"

The logic was sound.

But what Chen Yusheng was actually conflicted about wasn't that.

Seeing Su Bai earnestly wanting to help her pick a computer, Chen Yusheng couldn't hold back her little thoughts and blurted out:

"Su Bai, don't you like playing with me in the couple's room?"

"Huh?" Su Bai was stunned. "What does that have to do with a couple's room..."

"Then if you're getting me a new computer, doesn't that mean you want me to play with you in the dorm as much as possible, and you don't want to see me in person?"

"What the hell do you mean I don't want to see you? What kind of top-tier understanding is that!"

Su Bai was amused to the point of anger. "You're not free to come play with me in person every day. Isn't this just so you have good equipment to use anytime, anywhere? Your current computer has quality control issues, and they won't replace it. It lags inexplicably sometimes, you told me that yourself."

"..."

"Wait, Sheng Sheng, are you saying you actually prefer playing with me in the couple's room?"

Su Bai's lips curved into a meaningful smile.

Chen Yusheng felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She dropped a sentence, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first!", and fled the JW Marriott's river-view suite in embarrassment.

Oh wow, not bad, the little shy look of the academic star Chen.

A maiden's shyness surpasses all words in the human world.

Su Bai understood this sentence profoundly through Chen Yusheng.

"Junior, I'm back!"

At six in the evening, the curvaceous Zhou Jialu reappeared before Su Bai.

Not much time had passed since Chen Yusheng's escape.

Zhou Jialu had returned to school for classes that afternoon, a subject she had failed before and had to retake in her senior year.

Some professors kept a close eye on students retaking courses, so she had no choice but to attend.

Su Bai had used this time difference to prevent "Chen Yusheng and Zhou Jialu meeting."

There was timing!

It seemed like a masterful move, but it was actually a fluke.

Su Bai didn't even know the two of them were roommates.

Zhou Jialu had never discussed her roommates with Su Bai.

And Su Bai's understanding of the "Goddess Dormitory" was limited to Liu Yuanyuan and Chen Yusheng.

Seeing a new, rather "flashy" computer in the river-view suite, Zhou Jialu asked curiously, "Junior, did you go buy a computer this afternoon?"

"Yeah, I built one I'm really happy with."

"Hehe, it must be great for gaming. It's a shame I'm not very good at games. If you don't mind, Junior, you can teach me."

As soon as Zhou Jialu saw Su Bai, she clung to him like some kind of parasitic organism.

She still seemed to enjoy provoking Su Bai, liking to see him lose his composure because of her charm.

Su Bai keenly noticed this. It seemed like his senior had always been like this, craving recognition for her charm, but deep down, she was a very conservative and self-respecting woman.

That's why some people called her "hot."

However, now the object of her pursuit of recognition was firmly locked onto Su Bai alone.

The sense of happiness was self-evident.

So, Su Bai enjoyed another round of service from his senior.

Feeling refreshed, he lay on the sofa and opened a drink from the hotel room's mini-bar.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jialu was examining the glass bottle of Evian mineral water. This stuff always appeared in artistic works depicting luxurious lifestyles.

It was a small, 330ml gift set, priced at 200 yuan per bottle.

As for the taste, it was indeed good, but was it really worth the money? It was hard to say.

After they had their fill of indulgence, the two went downstairs and found a Cantonese restaurant nearby for a meal.

They had been eating rather greasy food these past couple of days, so it was time for a change of pace.

Although the system would eliminate the negative effects of Su Bai's indulgence, his taste buds still leaned towards trying more diverse cuisine.

Alright, in truth, Su Bai just liked to splurge. That's how foodies are; when they have money, they want to try everything.

While eating, Chen Yusheng sent a cat peeking emoji.

Su Bai didn't beat around the bush, directly telling her they would start playing at 8 PM.

According to Su Bai's estimation, Chen Yusheng would definitely head back by 8 PM.

As expected, before 7:30 PM, Zhou Jialu said she needed to return to the dormitory to chat with her best friend and left.

Mainly, she was afraid that if she stayed too late, she would get lazy and not want to leave, and then she would naturally end up with her junior...

Su Bai took a bath and logged in precisely at 8 PM.

Chen Yusheng was rather quiet in the game today, not even using her free mic, only occasionally opening it briefly to say a word.

Clearly, she was still in a state of self-imposed silence.

This was normal. According to the system, Chen Yusheng had completely fallen for Su Bai. For a girl with her personality, after falling in love, her entire mental state was bound to undergo a profound transformation.

She just needed some time.

As the saying goes, good food takes time to prepare.

Su Bai genuinely liked the type of girl Chen Yusheng was.

After two hours of playing together, as soon as they exited the game, Chen Yusheng messaged him on WeChat:

[Yu Xie: Are you angry?]

[Crispy Big White Goose: No.]

[Yu Xie: Oh.]

[Yu Xie: I'm not angry either.]

[Yu Xie: Mmm, I wasn't angry at all from start to finish. My throat was just uncomfortable, that's why I spoke less!]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Understood [Big White Goose_Cheers]]

[Crispy Big White Goose: I've ordered the ROG Strix SCAR 18 for you. I put the address as the Cainiao Post station closer to your building. It should arrive tomorrow morning. Remember to pick it up when you get the notification.]

[Yu Xie: Mmm.]

[Yu Xie: Thank you.]

It could be said that their aesthetics truly had a spiritual connection.

Although Chen Yusheng repeatedly claimed that the ROG brand had high premiums, the truth was that the very laptop Su Bai was buying for her was something she had been coveting for a long time during the summer vacation.

But the top-tier configuration cost over 30,000 yuan.

There was no need to spend that unnecessary money; the funds should be saved for her mother's medical treatment.

Su Bai was truly, truly good to her.

Coupled with Su Bai's teasing her at the hotel that afternoon, it was clear that Su Bai knew about Chen Yusheng's feelings.

"Why does this guy give off a player vibe... Ugh, but I really like him!"

Chen Yusheng muttered to herself, hugging her phone as she got into bed to chat with Su Bai.

At this moment, the Goddess Dormitory's four members were all present, a rare occurrence.

Besides the two goddesses who had entangled with Su Bai, and Liu Yuanyuan who had entangled with Su Bai's roommate, the fourth member was Jiang Qiuran from the Broadcasting and Hosting department.
