We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

If Xu Jiao were to discover that the culprit who had just made the school beauty blush and her heart race was none other than her so-called "good brother," wouldn't her expression be priceless?!

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair, looking at the iPhone 4 in his hand. A smile flickered in his eyes as the image of a pair of dazzlingly white legs had just appeared on the QQ chat interface.

Under the same roof, with their beds less than three meters apart, one of them had just shoved his scalding hot phone under his pillow to pretend to be an ostrich, while the other was pulling back the curtains and sending him private photos in QQ chat to report on the enemy situation.

The feeling of having two encrypted intelligence networks in one dormitory all under your control is truly irresistible!

Ye Chen's fingers flew across the screen as he replied to Xu Jiao's message in the QQ chat.

"Really? To be able to charm your foreign language department's ice queen like this, that guy's got some pretty good skills."

"But let her laugh, you keep taking pictures. This nightgown is too small, isn't it? It looks really tight."

At that moment, in the girls' dormitory of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, Xu Jiao, who had her bed curtains drawn tightly, heard the notification sound of a QQ message and hurriedly brought her phone screen to her eyes.

Seeing Ye Chen's teasing remark that he didn't care about Gu Yuxuan's gossip at all, but instead focused all his attention on his own legs, Xu Jiao's lips curled up, and a secret sense of pride welled up in her heart.

What kind of top beauty in the foreign language department? In her man's eyes, she's not as attractive as a silk nightgown!

Xu Jiao bit her lower lip, kicked the blanket down half an inch, adjusted the position of her crossed legs, and quickly typed a reply in the QQ input box.

"Ugh, it's not that the skirt is too small, it's just that I've gained weight from eating at the school cafeteria these past few days..."

"Didn't you say you'd be free this week after Sky Dome Internet Cafe just opened? Why don't you come to Nanyang Boshi Xinju in a couple of days to check on him and see if he's really gained weight?"

After sending the message, Xu Jiao held her phone to her chest, waiting for a response.

Just then, a slight creaking sound came from the bed diagonally opposite.

Gu Yuxuan lifted a corner of the blanket, took out her phone from under the pillow to check the time, then stepped down the bed ladder in her slippers, picked up her water glass, and headed towards the balcony.

As I passed by Xu Jiao's bed, a ray of light shone through the gap in the bed curtains.

Xu Jiao casually pulled back half of the bed curtain, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Gu Yuxuan, who was holding a glass of water, with a smile: "Yuxuan, you're drinking water so late? I saw you sitting on the bed earlier, grinning at your phone. Who were you chatting with that made you so happy?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuxuan paused, her hand holding the water glass still, and stopped in her tracks.

She turned her head, and the dim light from the dormitory corridor lamp fell on her fair cheeks. Her expression had returned to its usual cool and aloofness, but a faint blush still lingered at the base of her ears.

Gu Yuxuan lowered her eyes, concealing the turmoil within them: "Nobody, just reading a few funny jokes online."

Xu Jiao blinked, her tone carrying a hint of knowing but not saying anything: "Oh, a funny joke can make our school beauty Gu blush? I heard that a few days ago outside the library, a tall, handsome guy helped you carry your dictionary for ages. Confess, is something going on?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao, who was applying a face mask on the upper bunk, immediately poked her head out from under the edge of the bed: "Holy crap! Really? Who is it? Is it Ye Chen from our social event the other day?!"

Li Meng, on the other side, joined in the fun, sitting up with a pillow in her arms: "Who else could it be but Ye Chen! That day at the karaoke bar and music restaurant, I saw Ye Chen taking good care of Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan, you'd better tell the truth!"

Hearing her roommates chattering away, Xu Jiao's smile froze for a moment, and her fingers, which were resting on the edge of the bed, tightened.

How is that possible?!

Ye Chen spent the night with her at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel just a few days ago, and even bought her a large three-bedroom apartment in Nanyang Boshi Xinju for 1.6 million yuan in full. How could he possibly be at the library helping Gu Yuxuan carry books again?!

Gu Yuxuan met the three people's gazes, took a sip of warm water from her glass, and covered the corners of her mouth that were turned up: "Don't make wild guesses. I just happened to run into him at the library entrance and helped him out. He's such a busy person, how could he have time to go to the library every day?"

Hearing Gu Yuxuan's words of disassociation, Xu Jiao's doubts that had just arisen dissipated by most, and she put on a sly smile of someone who had been through it all: "That's true, guys like Ye Chen may seem easygoing, but they're actually quite shrewd at heart, and not easy to handle."

After saying that, Xu Jiao drew the bed curtains and looked down at her phone screen again.

Ye Chen's reply popped up on the QQ chat interface.

"I still need to keep an eye on the data from the internet cafe and the company these next few days. I'll take you to the new house to measure your waistline when I have some free time in a few days. Go to bed early and don't catch a cold."

Looking at this affectionate instruction, Xu Jiao contentedly placed her phone beside her pillow, closed her eyes, and snuggled into bed.

Sure enough, Ye Chen and Gu Yuxuan were just ordinary classmates exchanging polite words. The only one he truly cherished and loved was himself!

In the 417 boys' dormitory, Ye Chen finished dealing with Xu Jiao's flirting, put the iPhone 4 aside, and looked up at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. It was exactly 9:30 pm.

Sun Haoyu and Lu Wenbo, who were standing next to him, finally pushed away the ruins headquarters opposite them. The two took off their headphones and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Haoyu picked up the now-cold tea from the table, took a big gulp, and patted his chest, boasting, "That was awesome! Old Ye, you didn't see my Blink Dagger initiation just now? The enemy Shadow Fiend didn't even have time to use Black King Bar before he was dead!"

Ye Chen smiled as he closed his laptop and carried his toiletries into the bathroom: "Come on, if it weren't for Lao Lu giving you a simple burial, the grass on your grave would be two meters high by now."

By the time he finished washing up and drying his hair, it was almost ten o'clock. Sun Haoyu and Lu Wenbo in the dormitory were gathered together reviewing the game they had just played, and the atmosphere was relaxed and noisy.
