Jiang Qiuran was not very tall, but she had a doll-like, delicate, beautiful face.
Enough to awaken any man's protective instincts.
Having practiced dance since childhood, Jiang Qiuran carried herself with an added touch of graceful allure.
Her petite, slender figure and modest curves suited her overall temperament perfectly, making her especially captivating.
So she was not simply a pure and innocent goddess, but the currently popular innocent-sexy type.
"First-love face," "fair, slim, and youthful"—words like these always came up whenever her classmates mentioned Jiang Qiuran.
Her face always wore an energetic smile. Every frown and smile brimmed with girlish charm, like a sweet, delicate underclassman who had stepped out of a Japanese anime.
In fact, among the three goddesses in the Goddess Dormitory, Jiang Qiuran had the most admirers.
Chen Yusheng was too cold, while Zhou Jialu was too fiery.
Both gave people the feeling that they were hard to handle.
Only Jiang Qiuran made even the most ordinary boys unable to stop themselves from imagining: what if Campus Belle Jiang discovered the beauty within them and sparks flew between their souls?
At that moment, Jiang Qiuran had just returned from a club activity.
Normally, Jiangcheng University's clubs did not begin recruiting new members until after the National Day holiday. But Jiang Qiuran was an arts student, and she had slipped into the Anime Club through an upperclassman from the Broadcasting and Hosting Department. She mainly did amateur voice acting and was quite popular.
"Ah, I'm so tired... Huh? What smells so good?"
Wearing a pleated JK uniform skirt and wedge-heeled leather shoes, Jiang Qiuran entered the room and was immediately hit by the rich aroma of food.
Liu Yuanyuan said, "Senior brought food back again. Come share it with us."
"Wow, Senior is so nice. She only brought us pastries yesterday."
"Mm-hmm, this time it's fried food. It was made with special healthy cooking oil, so it won't make you gain weight easily."
Zhou Jialu sounded slightly boastful. Just like yesterday's pastries, it came from a recently popular viral shop in River City, and the price was not something ordinary students could afford.
Now that she had struck it rich, she had a monthly allowance of one hundred thousand yuan, and Su Bai bought her all kinds of expensive luxury goods.
It was only right to occasionally use snacks to win over her roommates and maintain good relationships.
After all, people would always feel envy. If envy fermented for too long, it could easily turn malicious.
Those with high emotional intelligence were skilled at dissolving malice before it took shape.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you, Senior~"
Jiang Qiuran had a sweet tooth too, but she paid close attention to maintaining her figure and usually did not dare indulge at night. What Senior Zhou had bought was perfect for her.
And honestly, although it was low-fat, it tasted quite good.
She had actually wanted to try it for a long time, but that shop was rather far from Jiangcheng University, located in a relatively bustling commercial district. Besides, it was truly expensive.
Take fried mushrooms, for example. Such an ordinary ingredient only cost a dozen yuan or so per bag at regular shops, but this place charged fifty-eight yuan.
Come to think of it, ever since Jiang Qiuran had enrolled, Senior Zhou had always seemed rather frugal. Why had she suddenly changed her style?
Though she pondered this inwardly, Jiang Qiuran did not show any emotion on her face.
Occasionally, some girls would badmouth her, saying that this newly arrived junior campus belle was a scheming flirt.
However, most students thought she was a good person. After all, Jiang Qiuran had not led any boys on.
In truth, it was merely because Jiang Qiuran's thoughts ran deep enough that she could not be bothered with the tricks ordinary scheming flirts used.
She was not an ordinary scheming flirt. Her ambitions ran far deeper!
Therefore, before she encountered a man truly worth pursuing, Jiang Qiuran had to maintain her persona—
An innocent-sexy anime beauty!
At that moment, Liu Yuanyuan said with a gossipy expression, "Junior Qiuran, let me tell you something. Our Senior Zhou has already found her Mr. Right."
"Huh? Senior is actually dating someone?" Jiang Qiuran asked in surprise.
"Mm... I met someone I really like. You could call it love at first sight."
At the mention of love at first sight—
Chen Yusheng, who was lying on her bed, could not help glancing over.
What a coincidence. She had fallen in love at first sight too. It seemed everyone in the dorm had pretty good luck lately.
"Look, Qiuran. This LV bag was bought for Jialu by her boyfriend."
"Wow, it's so pretty. It must have been expensive, right?"
Jiang Qiuran looked pure and innocent, as though she knew absolutely nothing about luxury goods.
Mm, it fit the persona she had carefully cultivated.
In reality, she was already screaming inside.
Ahhh! The LV x Takashi Murakami Speedy Bandoulière 25!
Whether in appearance, rarity, or price, it was the stuff of young women's dreams!
And when Liu Yuanyuan revealed that the bag cost one hundred and sixty thousand yuan, Jiang Qiuran displayed just the right amount of shock.
Her eyes widened, and her eyelashes fluttered.
"Oh my God, Senior, your boyfriend treats you way too well!"
"Mm-hmm, he does treat me pretty well..."
Zhou Jialu felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
If they knew that Su Bai had bought her three bags in the same price range in one go, spending over five hundred thousand yuan, they would be scared to death.
To be fair, Su Bai's wealth was truly outrageous.
It completely satisfied Zhou Jialu's vanity.
It also made her even more certain that her choice had been the right one.
She had given Su Bai her first kiss only a few hours after meeting him.
It sounded a little too eager, but for a man as outstanding as Su Bai, girls ought to take the initiative.
The three girls chattered away.
Chen Yusheng watched silently.
She truly could not understand why a bag could be worth so much money. It felt like nothing but an intelligence tax.
Still, such absurd spending habits inexplicably made Chen Yusheng think of Su Bai.
If Su Bai bought her a bag, she would definitely rather not have it and exchange all that money for graphics cards instead.
Pfft, why would Su Bai buy me a bag? We're just... well, soulmates. We're not a couple at all.
With that thought in mind—
Chen Yusheng opened JD.com and found the page for that thirty-thousand-yuan laptop.
She would be able to get it tomorrow.
Just thinking about it made her happy, because she truly loved all kinds of electronic products.
If she did not need to pay for her mother's treatment, then if Chen Yusheng had money, she would definitely buy all kinds of electronics and tinker with them in the dorm.
"Senior, when are you going to introduce us to your boyfriend?" Liu Yuanyuan asked.
She was truly curious what this rich guy looked like.
"We'll talk about it if there's a chance later. Things between us aren't stable yet, and he's relatively low-key too. He doesn't like showing off everywhere."
"Oh~ I get it. Senior is afraid that with so many beautiful girls in our dorm, we'll steal her boyfriend once we meet him~"
"What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Jialu said, blushing.
Jiang Qiuran teased, "Don't worry, Senior. We're all good friends. We definitely won't steal him from you."
"Exactly, exactly. Senior, you're judging a gentleman's heart with a petty mind!" Liu Yuanyuan said with a grin. "I already have a boyfriend, Junior Qiuran isn't planning to date anyone for now, and as for Junior Yusheng, she has Su Bai."
"Huh? Me?" Suddenly dragged into it by her roommate, Chen Yusheng was a little stunned. She immediately denied it. "I'm not, I don't... Su Bai and I are just ordinary friends, um..."
"Hey, hey, hey, what happened that I don't know about?" Jiang Qiuran was a little excited. Could it be that the icy academic genius Chen Yusheng was about to find a boyfriend too?
"Yusheng sat with a boy during class today. That's unprecedented! I even heard people from the Computer Science Department talking about it."
"Oh~ Looks like something's going on..."
"Nothing's going on. Don't listen to their nonsense."
Chen Yusheng argued stiffly, then burrowed beneath her blanket to shut herself away.
At that moment, Zhou Jialu's expression changed slightly. Pretending to ask casually, she said, "The Su Bai you mentioned... which Su Bai is that?"
