In today's Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought class, every male student was especially alert.

Of course, it wasn't because of the bald, greasy lecturer at the podium. Their eyes were all fixed on An Ning's qipao.

Beautiful. The fiery red qipao perfectly displayed An Ning's proud figure and rose-like dazzling beauty, drawing every man's attention.

Yet it failed to draw the attention of the timid, bun-like Su Qi she wanted to see.

A little annoyed, she called Su Qi on WeChat again, only to find that it still went unanswered.

Her delicate brows furrowed, and even the hand clutching her phone trembled faintly.

No one had avoided her like this in a long time. Su Qi, don't let me catch you.

Though she wore a smile, Gu Panpan, who sat beside her, shivered for some reason.

Compared with the angry An Ning, Wang Zijin was much calmer. She had noticed that Su Qi had made a post in the QQ Group that morning. She figured Su Qi was probably busy preparing her women's clothing now.

Su Qi's absence did not surprise her.

Instead, she was rather looking forward to Su Qi's female attire. Her skin and those deep peach blossom eyes hidden beneath her bangs were both so captivating. If she dressed as a woman, who knew how many men she would attract? Was this what they called a handsome man who brought disaster?

If she really became boyfriend and girlfriend with Su Qi, having Su Qi dress as a woman would be quite an interesting little pleasure.

At this moment, Wang Zijin had already lost herself in fantasies of Su Qi dressed as a woman.

Seeing that Wang Zijin did not seem particularly surprised by Su Qi's absence, An Ning felt that things had gone beyond her expectations. Her best friend seemed to know far more about Su Qi than she did!

Besides, during dinner last night, when they finally brought up why Su Qi had suddenly made money and treated everyone to a meal, the boys had remained evasive and hesitant. They never said a word until the very end.

It seemed that after class, she would have to visit Su Qi's dorm and find out what was going on.

What she did not know was that photos of her attending class in a qipao had gone viral, being frantically reposted in Soocho​​w University's groups. Someone had even edited one of the photos into campus news.

It prompted countless male students to repost it.

Looking at the activity in the QQ Group, Su Qi saw An Ning in her red qipao. It fully revealed her mature, commanding aura, like a plum blossom blooming in winter, brilliant and eye-catching amid the snow.

What a pity. She had not gone today and missed out on that treat.

Looking at the photo, Su Qi recalled the soul-stirring feel of the toned, elastic long legs she had touched at the buffet last night.

They were like luxurious silk, like a piece of lustrous white jade. Smooth and delicate to the touch, with a hint of coolness that swept away all the irritation of summer.

Thinking of An Ning inevitably made her think of Wang Zijin's straight, long legs as well.

Each had her own charms. Wang Zijin's legs were more elastic, while An Ning's felt cooler to the touch.

It would be great if she could touch both pairs at once!

Just as Su Qi indulged in her fantasies, the phone in her hand began to vibrate. The Nuclear Explosion Divine Song immediately perked her up.

An unknown number? Who could it be? A sales call?

After clearing her throat a few times, Su Qi pinched her voice and answered, "Hello?"

Hearing her voice, An Ning froze for a moment on the other end. She could tell it was Su Qi, but why did it somehow sound like a woman's voice? To make sure it was really her, she asked, "Is this Su Qi?"

An Ning's voice was very distinctive, carrying the mature charm of a domineering older woman. Su Qi recognized it at once.

"Why didn't you reply to my WeChat messages!? You know who I am, right!?" An Ning's voice was the same as always, but Su Qi somehow felt as though she were speaking through clenched lips! If she answered wrong, Su Qi felt that she would be in deep trouble.

"I don't use WeChat much. I set it to Do Not Disturb." As soon as Su Qi said that, she heard a huff from the other end, followed by, "Of course I know who you are. Your qipao looks very nice today! Especially that vivid red. It makes you look even more like a blooming rose."

"Hmph, hmph." An Ning's lips curled up slightly. Clearly, she was much more satisfied with Su Qi's explanation.

Wu Wei, An Ning's secret admirer who had provided Su Qi's phone number, watched the goddess before him shift between sunshine and storms while Su Qi hurriedly explained herself. He suddenly felt a little sorry for Su Qi. Wouldn't Su Qi be completely wrapped around An Ning's finger from now on?

Thinking of Su Qi's slender frame, then looking at An Ning in her qipao, which perfectly outlined her astonishing S-curve, he wondered if the goddess would turn into a juicer??

Su Qi spoke with An Ning for three minutes. After the call ended, Su Qi felt like crying without tears. If this damn system had not appeared, wouldn't she already have won the beauty's heart by now?

And An Ning had repeatedly told her not to get close to her best friend Wang Zijin. Combined with Wang Zijin's somewhat exceptional behavior yesterday, it was not hard to see that Wang Zijin was interested in her too.

Although An Ning had claimed over the phone that Wang Zijin was a juicer, a somewhat slanderous attempt to suppress her rival, was Su Qi afraid of someone who squeezed juice? Obviously not!?

This fate was far too melodramatic. Why had the two of you waited until now to fall in love? Even one week earlier would have been good!!

Su Qi clutched her head and covered her face, looking utterly regretful!!

Unlike her, An Ning was in a very good mood after hanging up. She had finally gotten Su Qi's number, and she could sense from the call that Su Qi cared about her and paid attention to her feelings. Knowing that made An Ning very happy. At least she had not been rejected outright like those who had confessed to Su Qi before.

And now that she had Su Qi's phone number, the next step would be inviting her to dinner and repaying the favor from the buffet last time. Gradually, they would become familiar again, and then she would find a more romantic restaurant.

Then...

Thinking of Su Qi's face, more alluring than a woman's, and her delicate skin, a strange light flashed in An Ning's eyes. She had asked Su Qi's roommates earlier, and Su Qi had not had any contact with women in the past two years.

It looked like she was a fledgling. Imagining Su Qi curled up in a corner, her charming face flushed with embarrassment, made An Ning's mouth go dry. She seemed a little unable to hold back!

Wang Zijin secretly observed her best friend from the other side of the corridor and saw that clear gleam flashing in her eyes.

Having grown up together, she immediately knew that her best friend had made up her mind.

Meanwhile, she herself had made no progress at all. Otherwise, she could have asked Su Qi's roommates for Su Qi's phone number just like An Ning had.

She knew An Ning's charm well. Wang Zijin did not believe Su Qi could struggle for long beneath An Ning's pomegranate skirt.

She had to speed things up too.

Perhaps she should ask an upperclassman from the student union to look up Su Qi's enrollment records. Her phone number might be there??

Just then, her phone began to ring.

The caller was her older sister, Wang Yun. She was probably going to ask Wang Zijin to go to her place again this weekend and work herself to the bone cooking.

"Hello—" Wang Zijin deliberately drew out the last syllable to show her displeasure.

"Zijin, what's with that indifferent tone? Your sister doesn't like hearing that."

"Sis, what is it? I've been a little busy these past few days!"

"Don't be like that. Let me tell you, I found a college student to rent my place."

"Oh, you want me to help move? I have a club event tomorrow, and I have to help the student union in the evening. The day after tomorrow, Mom wants me to go home and see her. She says she misses me. I'm not free these next two days, so I'm hanging up. Bye—"

"Don't! I'm telling you, this tenant of mine is especially interesting!"

"Not listening, not listening, a turtle chanting scriptures."

"She's obviously a young girl, but she insists on pretending to be a man. Her skin is so smooth. And she even has a faint fragrance on her body. It smells amazing."

Hearing her sister's description—smooth skin, a man, a young girl, a fragrance—

Wasn't that Su Qi?

And Su Qi was not staying in the dorm tonight. Didn't everything line up perfectly?

Hahaha.

Su Qi, Su Qi. You really are...

There's a road to heaven, yet you refuse to take it; hell has no gate, yet you walk right in?

No, saying that made her sound a little too much like a villain.

This time, you won't escape, Su Qi—

In her room, Su Qi suddenly shivered. Why did it feel like someone was talking about her??
