This question looked simple and straightforward, but it actually hid a deadly trap. Guys with low emotional intelligence would find it hard to notice how serious it was.

Most guys, when faced with this question, would bluntly say, "They're all pretty!"

That answer could work too, but the girl asking the question would definitely force you to pick one!

As long as a girl asked that question, no matter who the guy chose as the prettiest, he would offend the other girls to some extent.

Even worse, some girls would make the guy rank them by looks.

Of course, that would be going too far. No girl who wasn't especially stupid would ask such a question.

But Shen Lang feared nothing. He had a cheat system!

1: A rigorous request: I can't tell with your clothes on. How about you take them off, and I'll inspect each of you!

2: A straightforward answer: Both of them are very pretty. Then, looking disdainfully at the one asking the question: As for you, if I hadn't met Su Lexuan, I might've pursued you.

3: Go up and slap her and see if she still acts crazy!

"They're both very pretty."

Shen Lang answered readily, then deliberately paused and looked Ye Xinxin up and down with disdain. "As for you..."

The two roommates looked at each other. They were a little pleased, but also awkwardly glanced at Ye Xinxin.

Shen Lang's attitude while sizing her up didn't seem very friendly. He wasn't going to say Ye Xinxin was ugly, was he? That would ruin the friendly atmosphere from earlier!

"Then... what about me?"

Ye Xinxin raised an eyebrow, gripping her handbag more tightly as she forced out a stiff smile. "What do you think... of me?"

"Hehe, if I hadn't met Lexuan first..."

Shen Lang smiled teasingly. "I might've pursued you first."

"Ah! How dare you!"

The moment Shen Lang finished speaking, Su Lexuan angrily attacked him with her little fists. "She's my best friend!!"

"No, I was joking! Don't bite me!"

Shen Lang barely held back a laugh as he dodged Su Lexuan's flurry of attacks. "Alright, get in the car and enjoy the air conditioning. It's pretty hot out here."

Watching the two fool around, the two roommates froze for a moment before unexpectedly bursting into laughter.

Su Lexuan's boyfriend was really something!

The girls laughingly climbed into the car. The atmosphere, which had been slightly awkward before, became even livelier and more cheerful after Shen Lang's flawless response.

Shen Lang pointed at the red plastic bag beside Su Lexuan, which contained the chilled drinks they had just bought. "Lexuan, hand out some water to your friends."

"Mm."

Su Lexuan didn't take Shen Lang's answer to heart. Everyone knew he was joking, so she happily handed drinks to her roommates.

"Shen Lang, when did you meet Lexuan?"

"Shen Lang, where are you from?"

Holding their icy drinks, the roommates eagerly struck up a conversation with Shen Lang.

Shen Lang was handsome, and his build looked pretty good too.

But there were plenty of guys like that at Zhuhai University.

Compared to looks, girls still preferred guys with a humorous, interesting personality.

Of course, that excluded guys who were too ugly to look at.

No matter how funny and interesting they were, they could only be considered joke Goblins.

"Hey, what are you doing? Can't you see he's driving?"

Seeing her roommates acting lovestruck, Su Lexuan immediately became unhappy. If she had known, she wouldn't have brought Shen Lang out to meet these girls.

"This guy's good."

Ye Xinxin, an experienced online player, sat in the back and appraised Shen Lang's handsome profile. She nodded slightly in inexplicable admiration.

She and Su Lexuan had been best friends for years, so naturally she wouldn't make things difficult for Su Lexuan's boyfriend.

Recently, Su Lexuan had been completely focused on Shen Lang. Ye Xinxin felt a little jealous, so she had wanted to make Shen Lang suffer a small setback.

But Ye Xinxin hadn't expected Shen Lang to handle such a tricky question so easily, even turning it around and flirting with her.

Ye Xinxin was certain that this guy's level was definitely above hers.

Ding! Li Qiaoqiao's Favorability toward the host has increased by 20 points. Current Favorability: 48. Please keep up the good work! Ding! Fang Lili's Favorability toward the host has increased by 10 points. Current Favorability: 35. Please keep up the good work! Ding! Ye Xinxin's Favorability toward the host has increased by 2 points. Current Favorability: 7. Please keep up the good work!

Shen Lang treated Su Lexuan's roommates to a seafood feast, then took them around Jianghai City's famous Pearl Tower for the entire afternoon.

It wasn't until evening that they decided to head back.

"Shen Lang, let's add each other's contact info."

"Yeah, Shen Lang. Next time we're free, drive us out for fun again!"

After spending the day together, the roommates truly envied Su Lexuan for having such a handsome boyfriend who was also humorous and fun.

Even with Su Lexuan, his girlfriend, standing right there, the roommates still wanted to boldly ask Shen Lang for his contact information.

Some of them even developed a daring idea, planning to launch an offensive the moment they got his WeChat.

Naturally, Shen Lang enjoyed it too—not because he was surrounded by several girls, but because of the joy of hundreds of thousands of yuan entering his account!

In just one afternoon, with the system's help, Shen Lang had earned more than eight hundred thousand yuan in cash rewards from Su Lexuan's roommates.

Aside from Ye Xinxin, whose resistance was lower and whose Favorability was only 7, the other two roommates' Favorability toward Shen Lang had practically shot straight up.

One of them, a petite girl named Li Qiaoqiao with a bun hairstyle, even had an astonishing Favorability of 48 toward Shen Lang!

Shen Lang felt that if he added her on WeChat, he might be able to invite her to a hotel to discuss the ultimate meaning of life after just one phone call.

Of course, Shen Lang wouldn't be so tasteless.

For girls whose Favorability rose that quickly, it also showed that they had relatively open personalities.

With a campus belle girlfriend like Su Lexuan, who would take such a low-level risk?

"No! Shen Lang is my boyfri—"

Su Lexuan directly wrapped herself around Shen Lang's arm to declare her ownership, proudly refusing on his behalf. "It's enough for Shen Lang to have my contact information!"

"You're so stingy!"

The two roommates pouted and complained, but there was nothing they could do. After all, he was someone else's boyfriend.

"Alright, alright, let's take a taxi back."

Ye Xinxin stretched lazily. "They finally have some time alone together, so let's not get in their way."

The moment she said that, Su Lexuan immediately gave Ye Xinxin a grateful look!

That was her best friend of more than ten years, alright!

"Shen Lang, I'm leaving our Lexuan to you."

Ye Xinxin seriously reminded him, "But if you dare let her down, I'll..."

Ye Xinxin raised her hand and made a snipping motion with two fingers. The meaning was obvious.

After observing him all afternoon, Ye Xinxin felt that this guy was pretty good. At the very least, he sincerely cared about her best friend.

The only thing she didn't like was that he was far too good at talking.

In just one afternoon, Shen Lang had charmed these roommates so thoroughly that even her own resolve had nearly wavered!

Who knew what this guy was like when he was out there?

But with such a beautiful campus belle girlfriend, he probably wouldn't go around attracting other women, right?
