Compared to Su Qi's bewildered expression, An Ning's expression was far more varied.

She had never expected that Wang Zijin—her best friend, Miss Wang, who had never been close to anyone from childhood until now—would just do something so unbelievable.

If it had been someone else, An Ning felt she might even have teased them from the side. But the target was Su Qi, the man she had liked for so long. It gave her an indescribable feeling!

It was like having her home stolen while she was busy playing a game.

Compared to the other women pursuing Su Qi, Wang Zijin set off every alarm bell in An Ning's mind. For the first time, she truly felt a sense of crisis. Should she just make cooked rice out of raw rice first? Go all the way and be done with it?

Su Qi still had no idea that he was already in the middle of a massive crisis, and that crisis was sitting right beside him.

Fortunately, the class bell rang at that moment. Everyone streamed out of the classroom and headed for the next lecture hall.

Su Qi had just wanted to get up and escape the two beautiful Campus Belles. It was nothing personal—the gazes of everyone else were simply too piercing, and this little shut-in could not handle them.

But just as he rose, he was pressed back down again.

"Brother Qi, aren't you going to introduce us?" Hearing that familiar voice, Su Qi remembered that Wu Wei from his dorm liked An Ning.

From the looks of it, he wanted Su Qi to introduce him to An Ning.

Really, it would only be a one-sided introduction. If male students at Soochow University did not know the Campus Belle, that would be truly laughable.

Afraid things would get awkward, Su Qi introduced Wang Dongxu, Wu Wei, and the diamond bachelor Han Yixing one by one. He had thought An Ning might be interested in Han Yixing, but she was unexpectedly calm.

Instead, the girl beside An Ning, Gu Panpan, seemed very interested in Han Yixing. The latter, however, was rather cold toward her.

"Little Qi, why do you seem so girly... No, I mean, why has your skin gotten so good?" Han Yixing asked. He called Su Qi Little Qi because the age gap between them was quite large.

Su Qi was eighteen this year, while Han Yixing was twenty-two. It really was fate that the two had ended up in the same dorm.

Han Yixing had entered Soochow University at eighteen, but he had spent the previous two years training in the military. After returning, he had gone to help out at his family's company. After all those twists and turns, he only started his freshman year this year.

Even now, he was constantly running between school and the company. He could be considered a model example of a rich second-generation heir.

Because of his life experience, and because Su Qi was genuinely rather small-built, he called him Little Qi.

As for why Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei did not call him Little Qi—

Of course, it was because of Su Qi's ability. Ever since they learned that the comics they had read were drawn by Su Qi, the two had practically wanted to address him as Teacher Su Qi.

"Maybe it's because I washed my face this morning. Or maybe it's because I finally fulfilled something I'd been thinking about," Su Qi said with a laugh.

Though he had no proof, he just felt that the system was behind it.

As for Han Yixing's slip about him being girly, Su Qi had heard that too. But refuting it now felt powerless. After all, in seven days, he might really become a girl.

If he complained now, he would probably be slapping himself in the face in a few days.

"Oh, right. I haven't congratulated you yet. Your game is selling like crazy! When I get back, I'll promote it among the employees at our company too," Han Yixing said.

He had always known Su Qi was making a game, but he had never expected it to be an adult game. During class, he had heard Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei praise Su Qi as if there were no one like him in heaven or on earth.

They said Su Qi had made over a hundred thousand.

To capitalist Han Yixing, spending more than two years creating a game only to earn one hundred thousand meant the return rate was practically zero.

Still, he admired Su Qi somewhat. He had heard Su Qi made the game entirely on his own, and that he had rebelliously applied to this university against his family's wishes—even paying his own tuition. That kind of guts already surpassed many college students!

The moment Su Qi heard that Han Yixing wanted to promote it at the company, he hurriedly waved his hands. "No need, really. It's selling just fine as it is."

What a joke. If a company general manager recommended an adult game to his employees, would it not make Toutiao the next day?

An Ning was completely lost as she listened to their conversation. She asked, "What are you talking about? Selling like crazy? I can support you by buying some too. I can even call on some of my girlfriends."

Wu Wei, Wang Dongxu, and Su Qi instantly imagined the goddess Campus Belle playing the game with a flushed face. Su Qi did not even know how to explain it.

He could not exactly say he was the creator of an adult game, could he? Would that not be a massive social death scene?

Fortunately, Wu Wei reacted quickly. "How about our dorm has dinner together tonight? Your dorm can come too! We can talk then." He changed the subject while also taking the opportunity to bring himself a little closer to the goddess.

An Ning frowned. She knew that Su Qi earned extra money doing original artwork. But she had never heard of him running any kind of business, and these people were all hemming and hawing before awkwardly changing the subject. Even an idiot could tell something was off.

Still, the thought of having dinner with Su Qi that night made An Ning rather happy. But girls had to have strategy even when pursuing someone. She needed to be reserved.

"I'll ask my roommates," An Ning said.

At that, it seemed the men's and women's dorms would be eating together. Did that not feel like a college-era matchmaking event?

Gu Panpan beside her was already gazing at Han Yixing with a lovestruck expression. She softly said, "I have time. It just depends on Wang Zijin!"

"Then let's do this. Su Qi, add me on WeChat. Once I ask Zijin, I'll let you know," An Ning said, taking out her phone.

Su Qi glanced at her phone. Good lord, an iPhone 12 Plus. The phone itself was nothing much, but hanging from the chain attached to its case was a car key. Good lord, a Maserati.

Su Qi did not understand cars, but he had heard of that logo. How was the car's performance? He had no clue. He only knew it was expensive.

Seeing Su Qi's calm, unexcited expression, An Ning liked him even more. Countless students had gone wide-eyed the moment they saw her car key, desperately wanting to find some connection to her.

But while her affection for him increased, she also felt a little disappointed. Would things not have been much simpler if Su Qi were the kind of young man who was greedy for money?

Then again, that was not right either. If he really were that sort of person, would that not mean her taste was terrible?

Su Qi took out his own Huawei phone. Its screen was completely cracked. He had so many apps that he swiped through two or three pages before finally finding WeChat among a pile of folders.

That maneuver made everyone's scalps tingle.

Wasn't WeChat supposed to be the most commonly used app?
