"There was such a thing."

Jiang Qin answered, not particularly surprised. He could have figured out with his heels that this damn thing had definitely been leaked by Ren Ziqiang. That hopeless simp—he'd even sell out his brothers just to find topics girls were interested in. Jiang Qin would have to set him up someday and teach him how sinister people could be.

"Don't you think it's embarrassing? You even brought this kind of thing up?" Jiang Tian asked doubtfully.

Jiang Qin remained completely unfazed. "What's so embarrassing about failing? I even begged the cafeteria auntie to give me extra meat yesterday, and I failed at that too."

"Right. The cafeteria auntie is the true aloof campus belle."

Zhou Chao, sitting behind them, couldn't help but cut in.

Hearing Jiang Qin say this, all the girls in Financial Class 3 covered their mouths and snickered. This guy really is stubborn. Even after being exposed, he's still holding his ground.

Actually, these girls didn't have particularly bad intentions. They were simply too self-centered, and with the new semester having just started, they were bored out of their minds. Naturally, they enjoyed making fun of people. Besides, Jiang Qin stood out among the boys, so he naturally became their target.

"Jiang Qin, do you chase every girl who looks good? I also heard Ren Ziqiang say that you wanted to pursue our Qingqing."

"?"

Jiang Qin turned around in confusion. Did these girls not get properly awakened yesterday? Was the urine not yellow enough, or did it taste too sweet? Then he saw Song Qingqing speak arrogantly. "I'm warning you, Jiang Qin, don't get any ideas about me. I'm not the kind of girl you can win over."

"Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" Jiang Qin frowned after saying this. "No, I don't think neurology can treat you."

His voice wasn't quiet, and Song Qingqing should have been able to hear him, but it was drowned out by a sudden commotion. Hearing the noise, everyone looked over curiously, and no one continued thinking about what Jiang Qin had said.

The commotion came from Financial Class 4. The reason was that an exceptionally eye-catching pretty girl had stood up and was walking toward Financial Class 3's formation.

The loose military-training uniform really did nothing for one's looks, but on this girl, it somehow seemed especially cute and lively. Her exquisite profile and perky nose were dotted with a few beads of sweat, yet remained as clean as ice-clear jade.

Everyone's gazes moved along with the girl's footsteps, their eyes filled with curiosity.

This was the girl who had attracted attention from several classes during the morning assembly—the one who had made Cao Guangyu call himself a frog in a well and shattered Zhou Chao's worldview.

The three idiots from Dorm 302 watched her approach step by step. Their scalps immediately tingled, and the scene before them felt eerily familiar.

Wasn't this exactly how Hong Yan had appeared before them yesterday? Cao Guangyu's face paled. No way, right? Song Qingqing was also wearing a look of astonishment. As she watched the bright and beautiful girl arrive in front of Class 3's formation, she narrowed her eyes in confusion.

Everyone was either squatting or sitting, and they were all wearing identical military-training uniforms. From a distance, they looked like a neat field of green radishes.

Finding one person here was genuinely difficult.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jiang Qin suddenly raised his hand and waved at her twice. Song Qingqing, sitting behind him, couldn't help widening her eyes, her mind failing to process what was happening for a moment.

By the time she recovered, the girl had already arrived lightly in front of Jiang Qin. She held out a bottle of mineral water to him while using her other hand to lightly wipe away the fragrant sweat beneath the brim of her cap.

"Jiang Qin, I want water."

"Can't you open it?"

Feng Nanshu nodded lightly, then extended the bottle in her hand a little farther.

Jiang Qin took the water, twisted open the cap, and handed it back. But he couldn't help feeling suspicious. The Little Rich Woman had received orthodox Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training since childhood and was an expert, though he didn't know what rank she had reached now. Opening a bottle cap shouldn't have been difficult for her. Is she putting on an act for me? Feng Nanshu tilted her head back and took small sips of mineral water, revealing her long, fair swanlike neck.

After finishing the water, she smoothed her clothes and sat down beside Jiang Qin, her body tilting slightly toward him.

Even after more than an hour of training, Feng Nanshu still carried a faint fragrance. It smelled like lily of the valley blooming after rain, soothing to the senses.

Jiang Qin's gaze silently swept over her chest. This military-training uniform really doesn't do her any favors. He could only shift his gaze to her face, letting it pass over her perky nose and full, cherry-red lips.

"Are you getting along well with your roommates?"

A hint of delight appeared in Feng Nanshu's eyes. "They're good people. They even took me to eat the Rainbow Cotton Candy you wouldn't let me have."

Jiang Qin immediately narrowed his eyes. "Feng Nanshu, were you taking a jab at me just now? Because I wouldn't let you eat cotton candy, I'm not a good person?"

"I said you were a good person, but you wouldn't let me say you were a good person," Feng Nanshu said pitifully.

Jiang Qin paused. "That's actually a fair point. Don't casually give me a good-person card. If you're going to give one out, give it to someone else."

Feng Nanshu took another small sip of water, her pink, moist lips growing even more glistening. "Jiang Qin, my roommates saw you yesterday. They want you to treat them to a meal."

Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows slightly. "Why should I treat them?"

"They said you're my boyfriend, so you should treat them and have them take good care of your Feng Nanshu throughout all four years of college."

"Ha. The schemes of modern female college students are truly damn deep."

Jiang Qin calculated his schedule. He felt that he shouldn't have much to do before the website was completed. Other than military training, that was—oh right, he also owed Hong Yan a meal.

In other words, he was basically free after six in the afternoon.

"Then let's find an afternoon when it isn't too hot. I'll send you the exact time and place on QQ."

At his words, Feng Nanshu's eyelashes trembled slightly. She turned her head and quietly looked at him, her eyes flickering like a lively emerald lake.

"What's wrong? Don't want to eat? Then I can save the money."

"No, I was thinking about what I wanted to eat." Feng Nanshu stroked the area over her heart.

Jiang Qin shifted his sitting position, letting the scorching ground torment the other half of his butt, then spoke. "I've helped you so much. You'll have to repay me in the future. Have you heard the saying, 'If you become rich, don't forget your friends'? You're already quite rich now, so you especially can't forget me."

Feng Nanshu thought for a moment, then stretched out her long legs. One of her dark-green military shoes tilted, its toe pointing toward Jiang Qin. "I can let you play with my feet."

"..."

Jiang Qin's heart inexplicably fluttered, as if her words had struck a sensitive spot.

At the same time, the entire School Field seemed to fall deathly silent. Everyone stared at the pair sitting close together, their expressions complicated and indescribable.
