Shangting Hotel, Sixth Floor

Dong Jing walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Mu Changsheng, trying to find topics to build a connection, but Mu Changsheng's replies were very brief.

This made Dong Jing a little distressed. Why didn't this guy want to talk to her?

Dong Jing thought she wasn't bad-looking.

Suddenly, a hesitant girl standing at the door of a room ahead caught Mu Changsheng's attention.

When Mu Changsheng saw the girl at the door, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking for a moment, he walked up to her and asked, "Are you... Lin Kenning?"

The girl by the door stiffened slightly. She quickly turned around, and upon seeing the unfamiliar Mu Changsheng, her expression trembled. "I'm not..."

Mu Changsheng frowned. Looking closer, this was clearly Lin Kenning from their major.

Unlike girls from the city, Lin Kenning had a timid and shy demeanor, but she exuded an aura of simplicity.

Lin Kenning usually sat in the front rows during classes, always alone, with almost no friends. This was also why Mu Changsheng remembered her.

Dong Jing frowned. She was experienced. Lin Kenning looked like a pure college student. Although her clothes were clean, many parts were wrinkled from washing.

Coming to a place like this clearly meant...

Mu Changsheng wasn't a fool either. Seeing Lin Kenning constantly looking down, seemingly trying to hide her face.

Lin Kenning seemed a bit scared and wanted to knock on the door. "You've mistaken me for someone else..."

Mu Changsheng raised his hand and grasped Lin Kenning's wrist. Lin Kenning flinched slightly and tried to struggle, but Mu Changsheng held her arm firmly.

"Need money?"

Lin Kenning felt a sense of internal collapse. To run into a classmate here... If this got out... wouldn't she become... the public enemy?

But if she didn't come, who would gather the medical expenses for her brother?

For a moment, the immense pressure made Lin Kenning's eyes redden, tears welling up in her pupils.

Mu Changsheng was startled, thinking he had used too much force. He loosened his grip slightly.

"Let's go."

Mu Changsheng pulled Lin Kenning towards his room.

Dong Jing, watching Mu Changsheng's retreating figure, her beautiful eyes flickered.

This young man... is quite good.

Inside the Luxury Suite

Lin Kenning sat on the sofa, her head bowed. Mu Changsheng unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Lin Kenning. "Why... did you come here?"

Lin Kenning looked up. Sitting under the light, her eyes were red.

Her eyes, soaked with tears, were flushed, evoking a sense of pity.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her messy hair fell over her shoulders, mirroring her current emotions, having lost its usual neatness and luster.

Mu Changsheng froze slightly when he saw Lin Kenning's appearance clearly.

Lin Kenning's features weren't stunningly beautiful, but put together, they gave off a feeling that evoked great pity.

Ding, Name: Lin Kenning Attractiveness: 90 Identity: Tannan Normal University, Education Department Charging Count: None.

She actually had a score of 90. It seemed she was a potential asset.

Mu Changsheng pursed his lips. "Don't look at me like that. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I'll help you within my capabilities."

Lin Kenning blinked her large, watery eyes in surprise. "Really?"

Then, she said with some hesitation, "Um... do I need to take off my clothes...?"

This was why she had hesitated earlier.

Mu Changsheng glanced at the somewhat frightened Lin Kenning. "I'm a little different from those people."

Although the girl in front of him was good-looking, Mu Changsheng didn't want to take advantage of her situation.

Mu Changsheng hadn't been wealthy before. When he encountered difficulties, he naturally understood the bitterness and helplessness involved.

Hearing this, Lin Kenning said softly, "I... I need twenty thousand yuan."

"Bank card number."

Mu Changsheng took a sip of mineral water and asked.

Lin Kenning blinked in surprise. "I don't have... a bank card."

Mu Changsheng was taken aback. "Then how did you pay your tuition?"

Lin Kenning said somewhat sheepishly, "I paid... in cash..."

"Do you have a phone then?"

Mu Changsheng frowned and asked.

"Yes."

Lin Kenning took out her phone from her pocket. Mu Changsheng's mouth twitched when he saw Lin Kenning's phone. He thought his OPPO A5 was already... weird, but he didn't expect this girl to be even weirder than him.

Mu Changsheng sighed, took out his old phone from his pocket, deleted some apps, and handed it to Lin Kenning.

When Lin Kenning saw the phone Mu Changsheng was handing over, she quickly waved her hand and said, "I have a phone..."

"You don't have a bank card. What's the use of having a phone? This card has 20,000 yuan on it. Consider it a loan from me."

Lin Kenning looked at the phone in Mu Changsheng's hand, and for a moment, she was a little choked up.

"How much is this phone, I... I'll pay you back."

"The phone isn't worth much. You should deal with your emergency first."

Seeing Lin Kenning take the phone, Mu Changsheng shook his head and said.

"Thank you."

Lin Kenning lowered her head, tightly grasping the phone with both hands, and said softly.

After Lin Kenning finished speaking, she prepared to leave, which made Mu Changsheng slightly stunned: "Where are you going?"

"At this hour, the school is already closed."

"Are you planning to climb in when you get back?"

Lin Kenning's steps faltered. That's right, the school was already closed.

"This room is big enough. You can arrange the sofa and make do here tonight."

Mu Changsheng said casually.

Lin Kenning looked a little embarrassed, her face flushed red.

Mu Changsheng shook his head: "Tidy up yourself. If you really can't manage, you can use the landline and call Dong Jing to come up."

"I'm going to take a shower first."

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of the Shangting Hotel.

"Liu Tianhao, why hasn't the person you mentioned arrived yet?"

A man wearing a bathrobe and glasses shot a cold glance at Liu Tianhao, who was sitting on the sofa.

Liu Tianhao, dressed in a black T-shirt with his hair slicked back, looked confused. "I clearly told the person I arranged it with, why isn't she here?"

"No, who is this surprise you're talking about? There are quite a few good-looking girls in the Education department."

Xia Yan asked impatiently.

"It's almost midnight, and all these props are ready, but the person still hasn't shown up."

Xia Yan glanced at the camera over there, looking displeased.

Liu Tianhao stood up: "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

Xia Yan helplessly held his head and urged, "Then hurry up, you're killing me."

"If that doesn't work, I think the receptionist downstairs looks pretty good. You can call her up."
