Chen Keqing: (Image)

Chen Keqing: I'm going to start making the cake. Talk later. 😳🐺💥💀 (Fighting!)

After preparing the ingredients for the cake, Chen Keqing took a photo and sent it over.

If making the cake hadn't made it inconvenient for her to reply to messages, she probably could have kept chatting with Su Ze for another ten bucks' worth...

Compared to the women Su Ze had met before—women with complicated minds and deep schemes—

Chen Keqing was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Her thoughts were incredibly easy to read.

Simply put...

The girl had fallen for him.

If Chen Keqing hadn't liked him in that way, she never would have opened with something like, "How did the cake taste?"

That had merely been an excuse to say, "I want to chat with you for a while."

"No wonder she followed me so easily after the apocalypse began..."

A smile tugged at Su Ze's lips.

Well...

For now, it counted as mutual attraction. Though at first, he'd wanted to put a sack over her head, and his intentions hadn't been as pure as Chen Keqing's...

"Is this the place?"

The taxi driver's voice pulled Su Ze back from his thoughts.

"Yeah, this is it. Thanks."

After opening the car door and getting out, Su Ze checked the address Wang Zixin had sent again. It was on the fifth floor of the building in front of him, where there was a board game room.

"Seven waiting on one, Ze Ge. Hurry up."

Wang Zixin sent another message, urging Su Ze to come upstairs.

According to him, there were currently three men and four women in their room, a perfectly balanced lineup.

And the prettiest girl had even deliberately saved the seat beside her for Su Ze...

Before long.

Su Ze knocked on the private room's door.

"Ze Ge, you're really something. Everyone's been waiting for you." Wang Zixin opened the door for him. While his back was turned to the others, he quickly winked and gestured at Su Ze.

He was probably saying... See? Isn't that beauty in the corner gorgeous? She's totally your type. A true brother never forgets you when something this good comes along.

Except...

When Su Ze looked toward the girl in the corner...

"Hello, Su Ze."

The beauty sitting near the corner was someone he knew...

"Qin Yushi. So you're the great beauty they were talking about."

Su Ze smiled and greeted her politely.

Then, at Qin Yushi's beckoning, he walked over to the seat beside her and slowly sat down.

"Damn, you two know each other?"

Only then did Wang Zixin realize that he was the Joker.

His eyes widened as he tried to communicate with Su Ze through eye contact, but Su Ze refused to play along. He deliberately shifted his gaze and took another look at the beauty beside him...

Qin Yushi.

In terms of looks and figure alone...

She probably wasn't inferior to Chen Keqing.

"I didn't disappoint you, did I, Su Ze?"

Qin Yushi joked with him openly and confidently. Su Ze merely smiled without saying anything. As for whether he was disappointed...

That wasn't really the point.

Still, Su Ze didn't particularly like Qin Yushi.

Because Qin Yushi was exactly the sort of woman Su Ze had encountered before: complicated, calculating, and deeply scheming.

She was beautiful, but not especially likable.

There were probably two specific reasons she wasn't likable.

First, Qin Yushi was the type of woman who would play ambiguous games with people but never truly give them a chance.

In other words, she took advantage of her looks.

She deliberately gave people the illusion that they could reach out and touch her, but in reality, it was just like making a cut on Pinduoduo.

She would always leave you just a little short.

By the time you came to your senses, you'd already been used thoroughly...

The other reason—

Was that getting too close to Qin Yushi would bring trouble.

Qin Yushi had a powerful background and came from no small family. She was a genuine member of the upper class.

Even among the elite circles of second- and third-generation heirs, Qin Yushi was still one of the standouts.

So, if someone wanted to make Qin Yushi his woman, the first thing he had to consider was her family background.

In that circle, the phrase "well-matched in social status" was no joke.

Su Ze knew his own limits. Though he had quite a few assets and was already considered wealthy in many people's eyes—

In front of Qin Yushi, or rather, in front of Qin Yushi's family background, he was nothing...

Those two reasons alone.

Had left the old Su Ze with a fairly average impression of Qin Yushi.

After all, there were plenty of beautiful women. Why would he go out of his way to provoke someone like her?

"Now that everyone's here, let's start the game already."

The others seemed to have been waiting for a while.

Su Ze hadn't even warmed his seat before the game began.

The game wasn't anything unusual, just a standard game of Monopoly.

"I heard from your roommate that you're single now?"

Playing the game didn't stop them from chatting. Qin Yushi smiled as she made casual conversation with Su Ze.

"Yeah, I guess..."

"What do you mean, 'I guess'? Oh, so you're being ambiguous with other girls, is that it?"

Just like his impression of her before.

Qin Yushi was like one of those highly skilled players who constantly made herself seem attainable.

They were clearly just chatting, yet she made it seem as though she was unhappy that Su Ze was involved with other girls, deliberately showing a disappointed expression...

Honestly.

Su Ze's thoughts were rather active right now as well.

The past was the past; now was now...

There were only three days left until the apocalypse. Where was he supposed to find apocalypse sisters for Chen Keqing...

Maybe Qin Yushi could make do. At the very least, this woman passed in looks, and besides... she kept herself clean.

Those four words did sound strange when used on her.

But they weren't inaccurate...

"Oh no, I'm about to have to sell my property. Su Ze, you have so much cash—can you buy my land for a high price? This plot is in a great location!"

Using the game as an excuse, Qin Yushi flirted with Su Ze again.

She stared at him eagerly, her limpid eyes utterly captivating... At least, everyone else nearby was staring blankly.

The expressions on the other boys' faces suggested they wanted nothing more than to immediately empty out all their chips and give them to Qin Yushi.

At the same time, they looked down on Su Ze.

You ungrateful bastard. She's practically saying it outright—just agree already!

Honestly...

Su Ze felt something stir within him at that moment.

This was probably what they called a honey trap...

Of course, one had to properly understand what a honey trap was.

Some people thought a honey trap meant a beautiful woman dressed scantily, standing before a big shot and striking seductive poses, swaying her ample hips—innocent or seductive, in any case brimming with sensuality.

But a real honey trap...

"Hello, Teacher Luo. My name is Zhuang Yan."

In Su Ze's eyes, Qin Yushi was probably no match for Zhuang Yan, but she was indeed difficult to refuse...

So...

"Nope. Hurry up and go bankrupt."

Su Ze snorted with laughter and said it half-jokingly.
