Shen Yunshi truly lived up to her reputation as the school's recognized goddess.

She had a perfect oval face, a high-bridged nose, and fair skin.

Her apricot-shaped eyes, in particular, curved into crescent moons when she smiled, making her look incredibly sweet.

At least six pluses.

"Are you busy?"

Wu Wei asked, seeing Shen Yunshi engrossed in her laptop screen since she sat down.

"Oh, oh, no, I'm not busy. I was just playing a game. Sorry about that."

Shen Yunshi quickly apologized and tried to close her laptop.

Hearing the word "game," Lu Bian became interested.

After all, they were developing games themselves.

"What game is it?"

"Oh, it's that really popular game where you swing a hammer."

Shen Yunshi smiled and turned her laptop around for Lu Bian and Wu Wei to see.

Wu Wei and Lu Bian's expressions froze. They exchanged a glance, a bit surprised.

The screen turned.

As expected, it showed a silly character sitting in a cauldron, holding a hammer.

"Everyone in our dorm has been playing this game lately. It's so hard!"

Fang Jin said, drinking his milk tea.

"If we hadn't stopped her, Shi Shi would have almost... Ouch!"

Fang Jin didn't finish his sentence before he felt a poke in his side, letting out a yelp.

He turned his head and met Shen Yunshi's "threatening" gaze.

Shrinking his neck, Fang Jin zipped his lips, indicating he wouldn't say any more.

"Heh heh heh, heh,"

Shen Yunshi gave Wu Wei and Lu Bian a slightly awkward smile.

"I just thought the art style of this game was quite interesting, so I wanted to try it. It's nothing, really."

"And what about the gameplay?"

Wu Wei pressed.

After all, he was the one who made the game, and player feedback was very important.

As he spoke, Wu Wei added an explanation:

"You know, I'm majoring in game design."

Shen Yunshi nodded and thought for a moment before replying, "I don't really understand professional terms. I just feel like this game... it's a bit difficult."

"Heh, difficult is an understatement. It's practically killing me,"

Lu Bian whispered from the side.

He had played the game too.

Several times, he had wanted to grab Wu Wei, the designer, and beat him up to vent his frustration.

"I really can't imagine what kind of designer could create a game like this. They must be psychologically disturbed."

Lu Bian was taking out his personal grudges, speaking while glancing at Wu Wei.

Wu Wei gestured a fist under the table at Lu Bian, about to threaten him with his eyes not to slander him here.

Then he saw Shen Yunshi nod opposite him and say sincerely, "Yeah, I think so too."

"This designer on Zhiyou, called 'Doesn't Care,' must have some kind of psychological disorder."

Wu Wei: ???

Did I not check the almanac before leaving today?

First, I was mistaken for being gay.

Then, after coming in to hear game reviews, I'm being called psychologically disturbed?

Okay, maybe I am a little bit.

But do you have to be so direct about it?

Ignoring Lu Bian, who was looking gleeful beside him, Wu Wei forced a smile and looked at Shen Yunshi.

"So, do you feel this game isn't very fun?"

"Not exactly,"

Shen Yunshi furrowed her delicate brows:

"It's not that it's not fun, because it really makes you want to clear it."

"But if you say it's fun, it's just... too difficult!"

"I don't understand why a game with such simple graphics has such great appeal."

"Perhaps you have different understandings from a professional perspective."

Shen Yunshi got more animated as she spoke, pouring out her frustrations to Wu Wei:

"But from my perspective as a regular player, this game is truly a perverted creation."

"When I play this game, I feel like I can see the author on the other side of the screen, smiling triumphantly as players get furious."

Shen Yunshi looked at the expressionless but mocking little figure on the screen, feeling a bit defiant.

Heaven knew how many times this game had broken her composure!

Don't let Shen Yunshi's graceful and gentle demeanor fool you.

In reality, if Fang Jin and a few others hadn't held her back, the enraged Shen Yunshi would have already smashed this laptop countless times!

"Therefore, I have every reason to believe that the author of this game is not mentally healthy!"

"Even perverted, you could say!"

"Shishi... Shishi..."

Seeing her best friend getting angrier and angrier, Fang Jin tugged at Shen Yunshi's sleeve from the side, quietly reminding her to calm down.

"Please mind your image as the campus belle, Goddess Shen."

"Oh, oh!"

Shen Yunshi snapped back to reality, realizing she had lost her composure. Her face flushed slightly as she smiled apologetically at Wu Wei:

"I'm sorry, what I meant was..."

"I understand."

Wu Wei interrupted Shen Yunshi, nodding.

Lu Bian, standing nearby, turned green!

He could tell that if his girlfriend hadn't stopped Shen Yunshi, this girl would have been cursing up a storm!

And the person being cursed at was sitting right opposite her!

"Um..."

Lu Bian didn't know that his casual remark had led to the campus belle railing against Wu Wei like this!

Just as he was about to speak up and change the subject, Wu Wei stopped him.

Wu Wei then smiled slightly at Shen Yunshi:

"I deeply apologize for the terrible psychological experience I've brought to players."

"Huh?"

Shen Yunshi was taken aback, not understanding for a moment.

The next second, Wu Wei took a sip of his tea drink.

"Guess what?"

"I'm that pervert."
