Top Ten Campus Hunks

Chapter 47: Top Ten Campus Hunks

By the time they finished eating, it was almost ten. Su Ke finished all his homework first, then hurried over to the computer. He didn't want to admit it, but he was still pretty concerned about that video of himself.

He logged into the Langfang Hotline website and was surprised to find that the video had already made the front page. He watched it again from beginning to end before scrolling down to read the comments.

"Good job, kid!"

"There aren't many people like you these days. You've got my support!"

"Wow! Those moves were so cool! Just like Donnie Yen!"

"What Donnie Yen? That was Bruce Lee, okay?"

"Handsome and kind-hearted. Good things come to good people!"

As Su Ke read the comments, a smile slowly spread across his face. Doing a good deed was actually so meaningful. He wondered what people on Tieba had to say.

After Wang Xiaogang reposted the video on No. 17 High School's Tieba, it immediately attracted plenty of attention. The first-year girl had approached Su Ke because of that video. He opened Tieba, and sure enough, Wang Xiaogang's video post was still pinned at the top.

But there was another new post beneath it, and its title was actually about him.

"Explosive! Su Ke protects a girl in the cafeteria, beating up the dean's son!"

The poster was anonymous, probably afraid the dean, Li Xueliang, would find out. Su Ke clicked the mouse, and a video appeared.

Clearly, it had been filmed on a phone. The footage wasn't very clear, but it still captured Su Ke's agile figure and crisp movements in vivid detail. The camera focused on Li Daxing, drenched in vegetable soup, Li Feifei, looking flustered, and Su Ke, standing there with righteous poise.

He had no idea how the person had managed it, but the phone could zoom in and adjust its focus. It gave Su Ke a close-up: a handsome face, bright eyes, and the faintest smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked cold, yet irresistibly charming.

The video was only a little over four minutes long, but the post below it laid out the whole story. Otherwise, people might have mistaken Su Ke for a bully who picked on the weak.

"Li Daxing is such a jerk. He's always picking on first-year students!"

"Su Ke is awesome!"

"Yeah! He took on three and won. He's incredible!"

"Isn't that the school beauty Li Feifei? Su Ke really is a Flower Protecting Dragon!"

"What do you mean, 'isn't that'? It is Li Feifei! Can't you see they were on a date?"

"Oh! My heart is breaking. Li Feifei is the girl of my dreams. Is she really going to end up with that Su Ke?"

"Su Ke, Su Ke, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice!"

"Confirmed: the person above is a lovesick fool!"

"I see Su Ke going home with that girl from his class, Wei Lan, every day. He's already got a class beauty, and now he's after the school beauty too? Drop dead!"

"Su Ke's such a player. He stole the class beauty, now he's after the school beauty. If I ever run into him, I'll give him a good pounding!"

"I'll give him a good pounding, then laugh my ass off. The class beauty and school beauty will both be mine. What could be better?"

"What could be better? You're dreaming, buddy. Go piss and look in the mirror—you're a total moron!"

"You guys are all hilarious, but this thread seems to have gone off track!"

"Stop badmouthing my Su Ke! Su Ke is a good guy!"

Su Ke scrolled through the replies, his face turning from pale to flushed. He was miserable. It had been such a small matter, yet somehow he'd become a womanizer. At least someone had recognized a hero when they saw one. Otherwise, he would've been even more depressed.

He shut down the computer and lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He entered the Flower Picking System's space and glanced at the Help option on the electronic screen, then casually tapped it.

"The Help function will unlock after you complete twenty missions!"

"Current missions: 21. Completed: 17!"

Su Ke only needed to complete three more missions to unlock the Help option. He checked the missions on the screen. Four remained:

"Mission: Get Wei Lan's first kiss; Reward: Advanced High School Science Proficiency (Intermediate)."

"Mission: Invite Liu Qingqing to dinner; Reward: 500 yuan."

"Mission: Help Zheng Mo solve her troubles; Reward: Advanced High School Computer Skills."

"Mission: Get Zheng Mo's first kiss; Reward: Piano Proficiency (Intermediate)."

"I should invite Liu Qingqing to dinner tomorrow! That's the only easy mission right now," Su Ke muttered to himself. The basketball game he had to play for Zheng Mo didn't have a set date yet. He would have to discuss it with her when they met. As for the two first-kiss missions, they would be incredibly difficult, so he'd put them aside for now.

Before he knew it, Su Ke had drifted off to sleep. The night passed quietly. Under the bright morning sun, another eventful day began. As usual, the moment Su Ke walked into the classroom, Wang Xiaogang came bouncing over.

"Su Ke, Su Ke! Did you check Tieba yesterday?" Wang Xiaogang asked with a sly grin, throwing an arm around Su Ke's neck and leaning close to his ear.

"I did." Thinking of the replies under the video made Su Ke feel miserable. Someone had threatened to give him a good pounding. Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps, and his answer came out listlessly.

"You're really going to be famous! I checked those two video posts yesterday. They've both had over eight thousand views, and there are more than six hundred replies. I read every single one!" Wang Xiaogang had obviously seen the comments about giving Su Ke a pounding too. The way he talked was downright creepy.

"You've got too much time on your hands. Six hundred replies? It must've taken you an hour to read them all." Su Ke shook his head and tilted away, trying to wriggle out of Wang Xiaogang's embrace.

"What are you talking about? You underestimate me. I read them very carefully. It took me an hour and thirty-five minutes to get through all six hundred. Based on my analysis, you're about to become famous throughout No. 17 High School!" This time, Wang Xiaogang spoke with complete seriousness, but Su Ke suddenly had a bad feeling.

Su Ke frowned and cocked his head. "Did you do something again?" he asked.

"Haha, you really are my best buddy. You know me so well! As someone determined to become a great director, I've been studying the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. I've realized that with the right publicity, even a sow can become a fairy!" Wang Xiaogang's gaze was profound. Apart from the eye crud he hadn't washed away after staying up late, he really did seem pretty mysterious.

"And then?" Su Ke stopped.

"And then! Then I started a 'Top Ten Campus Hunks' poll for No. 17 High School and put you on the list of candidates. I'm going to make you famous!" Wang Xiaogang said proudly, winking at Su Ke and grinning as if expecting a reward.

"Damn it, Wang Xiaogang!"

"What? Aren't you happy?"

"Why don't you just go die?!"
