As Long as the Sack Is Big Enough!

"What a heartless man."

Qin Yushi deliberately put on a look full of wounded resentment.

She controlled it with exquisite precision.

It was just right—not so obvious as to feel affected or exaggerated. It all seemed perfectly natural.

Fortunately, Su Ze knew Qin Yushi well enough that he did not end up like the other boys in the room, practically hooked by her...

After that little interlude, the game continued.

The atmosphere was peaceful...

Just the ordinary atmosphere of friends gathering to play a game.

My luck is a little bad. If I still can't roll a good number next round, I'll lose the game...

Su Ze got distracted and eavesdropped on Qin Yushi's thoughts.

In fact, he had been listening in on her thoughts ever since he entered the room.

He was curious why Qin Yushi had shown up here...

According to Wang Zixin, Qin Yushi was here because she was close to some younger girls in the accounting major, and because of Student Union work, she had come along with the girls from the accounting class today.

But the truth... seemed to be just that.

There did not seem to be any more complicated reason...

In other words—

There was no dramatic plot like, "Qin Yushi actually likes me, so she deliberately created an opportunity for us to meet."

Of course, Su Ze had not expected that either...

Whether she liked him or not was unimportant.

As long as the sack was big enough, Qin Yushi would eventually "like" him.

That was right...

Su Ze was seriously considering whether he should just settle for Qin Yushi as company for Chen Keqing...

"Su Ze is the one who's been hiding things. I only found out yesterday that he's also a rich second-generation heir."

The game did not stop everyone from chatting, and the topic suddenly turned to Su Ze.

Then someone else picked it up and asked Su Ze.

"By the way, Su Ze, what does your family do?"

The person asking was a girl with a pair of clear, foolish eyes. She bluntly asked such a somewhat private question.

She meant no harm. She was simply curious.

Su Ze could have refused to answer, but he did not.

After thinking for a moment, he answered, "You've misunderstood. I'm not some rich second-generation heir. I was just lucky enough to win fifty-seven million in the lottery."

"You can look it up online. Three years ago, someone in Jiangcheng won that jackpot. That person was actually me. My dad and I bought the ticket together, and the numbers were ones we'd been buying for years."

Everyone in the room turned to look at Su Ze.

More than one person showed surprise, as if they were saying... Holy shit, people can really win the lottery jackpot? So I've been wrongly blaming the welfare lottery all these years?!

"Pfft—"

It was not until Qin Yushi finally burst out laughing that one or two people realized Su Ze might just be making up a story...

"You little comrade are quite dishonest. You're making up stories again." Qin Yushi glanced at Su Ze and chuckled. "If I remember correctly, you once told me a story about how successful you were at a young age..."

"Did I?" Su Ze looked curious.

Honestly, he truly did not remember telling Qin Yushi anything like that.

Of course, even if he had, it did not matter, because... not a single story that came out of his mouth was true.

Over the years, he had accumulated too many versions of his stories. Sometimes, even he forgot them.

"Of course you did. I remember it clearly." Qin Yushi pursed her pink lips, looking as though she were carefully recalling it.

Then she began recounting it. "I remember now. You said you earned your first pot of gold because of a barren mountain in your village. The mountain had originally been worthless, but on the suggestion of thirteen-year-old you, the whole village developed it into a scenic area. That was how you made tens of millions."

"A single mountain was worth that much?" Another college student opened wide his clear, foolish eyes and asked in surprise.

"Bullshit." Qin Yushi snickered. "What they were really playing with was finance. They found news outlets to report that someone in the mountain had supposedly ascended to immortality, saying it was a blessed place for prayers... You don't think they made money from ticket sales, do you? They directly sold the ten-year revenue rights for the tickets to a third party. Before they had even done anything, they had already made a hundred million. Then they repeated the same operation a few more times. Even the food stalls in the scenic area were packaged up and handed to third parties... Oh, and they built a temple in the scenic area, selling each prayer lantern for eight hundred and eighty thousand. Why do you think the lanterns were so expensive? Those who know, know."

The story was fake.

But the methods were real.

The others listened in a daze, not understanding much but finding it impressive. Su Ze listened with great interest too, as if the story had not originally come from his own mouth...

"Wouldn't that just be scamming people out of money..."

After Qin Yushi finished the story, someone asked weakly.

"Finance is basically a scam, isn't it? As long as you don't get caught, it isn't a crime."

Qin Yushi narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Hehe, the story is probably fake, but the truth may be even more exciting...

Su Ze eavesdropped on Qin Yushi's thoughts again.

She truly was a worldly, intelligent woman. Unlike the others present, who were now looking at Su Ze as though he were a financial fraudster.

Qin Yushi could tell at once that Su Ze was making up a story.

Not only that, she had even guessed that the way Su Ze had made his fortune might have been even more outrageous than this...

And the most outrageous thing of all was Su Ze's age.

"All right, stop looking at me like that. I made it all up, just like that lottery story earlier. You didn't really believe it, did you?"

Su Ze smiled faintly and brushed the topic aside.

The team-building games only lasted until ten o'clock.

Although it was Friday and the dorms closed later than usual,

the gathering was over, so everyone could only head back to school.

Like Su Ze, Qin Yushi did not usually live at school, so only the two of them were headed in the same direction...

After walking alongside Qin Yushi for a while, they chatted idly about this and that.

Su Ze seemed to be distracted by the bar nearby, where the nightlife was only just beginning. He kept looking in the same direction, but in truth, he was checking the Simulator's cooldown...

"Still eight hours left on the cooldown..."

He was muttering to himself when

Qin Yushi, who had been walking ahead, suddenly stopped. She turned back and gave Su Ze a charming smile. "How about you walk me home?"

"Hm?"

Coming back to his senses, Su Ze looked up at Qin Yushi from behind.

A long black coat paired with a low-cut solid-colored sweater, a short skirt and black stockings below—her tall, voluptuous figure was perfectly accentuated by her outfit.

Her upper body had proud curves, while her legs were straight and shapely, with just the right amount of softness. Her figure was flawless.

Her devastatingly beautiful face was no exception.

Her features were as picturesque as a painting, her eyes gleaming with life.

She really was beautiful...

Compared to the lovely women who happened to pass by them at that moment, she was on a completely different level.

"Sure. I'll walk you home."

Su Ze's answer clearly caught Qin Yushi by surprise.

A nearly imperceptible flicker of stunned surprise crossed her pretty face.

She had probably expected Su Ze to refuse.

But she had not expected him to agree so readily...

"Then let's walk. Where I live isn't far, so we can treat it as a stroll."

Qin Yushi said with a radiant smile.
