Oh no! I've only been a freshman and I've already been targeted by a mean upperclassman.

The Porsche 911 was parked downstairs in front of the boys' dormitory during peak class time.

This scene alone is eye-catching enough.

Furthermore, the person who got out of the passenger seat was Li Chen, the school's most famous "newly crowned school heartthrob".

And in the driver's seat was Yan Xi, that aloof and unattainable beauty.

The two of them actually came back together.

And it was very early in the morning.

The boys and girls passing by instantly gave each other meaningful looks.

The flames of the Bagua symbol spread through the crowd at a speed of 300 meters per second.

"I'm gone."

Yan Xi rolled down the car window and waved to him.

Her movements were as nonchalant as a woman who had just finished eating and left without a care in the world.

"Um..." Li Chen stood by the car, hesitant to speak.

"What? You can't bear to part with it?" Yan Xi raised an eyebrow.

"No." Li Chen pointed to his eyes. "How am I going to explain these dark circles to my roommate?"

Yan Xi glanced at his face, which was full of "story".

A mischievous smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Just tell the truth."

"I told you..." she deliberately dragged out the last syllable, "I was too tired last night, and I was up all night."

He finished speaking and didn't wait for Li Chen to react.

Step on the gas.

The silver-gray sports car roared to life and sped away.

Li Chen was left standing alone in the exhaust fumes, bewildered in the wind.

Too tired?

Did you spend the whole night tossing and turning?

Is this even true?

This is really going to ruin him!

Li Chen dragged his heavy steps back to dormitory 302.

As soon as I pushed the door open.

He sensed that something was wrong.

The dormitory was unusually quiet.

The curtains were drawn tightly, leaving only a small gap.

Three chairs were arranged in a row in the center of the dormitory room.

Wang Qiang, Zhao Zixuan, Chen Mo.

These three guys were sitting there with their legs crossed, looking solemn.

He was even holding a thermos, sunflower seeds, and... a pointer that he had somehow gotten his hands on?

He saw Li Chen come in.

All three of them turned to look at them.

Those eyes were sharper than an X-ray.

"Oh, what a rare guest!"

Wang Qiang spoke in a sarcastic tone, toying with the pointer in his hand.

"Isn't this our school's most handsome guy, Li? He actually knows how to come back?"

Zhao Zixuan took a sip of goji berry tea and clicked his tongue twice.

"Looks like the battle was fierce last night."

Chen Mo pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping over Li Chen's dark circles and disheveled shirt.

Finally, a rigorous conclusion was reached.

"His eyes were dark and bluish, his steps were unsteady, and he seemed dazed."

"In conclusion, the kidney qi is severely deficient."

"Li Chen, you need Liuwei Dihuang Pills."

Li Chen rolled his eyes, threw his backpack on the bed, and collapsed onto it.

"Get lost."

He muttered a weak curse.

"Don't overthink it, nothing happened."

"Nothing happened?"

Wang Qiang jumped up and rushed to Li Chen's bedside, pointing at his face.

"Look at your face! It's so pale and swollen!"

"A lone man and a lone woman in a five-star hotel, on a large round bed, for the entire night."

"You're telling me nothing happened?"

"Do you take us for three-year-olds, or do you think you're some kind of saint?"

Zhao Zixuan also came over, looking heartbroken.

"Old Li, we're all brothers, this is where you're wrong."

"It's one thing to keep it all to yourself, but you won't even reveal a few details?"

"Even tactical communication would be fine!"

Li Chen buried his head in the pillow and let out a desperate wail.

How do you explain that?

He claimed that last night, on that bed that cost tens of thousands of yuan a night, he really just acted like Liu Xiahui (a legendary figure known for his chastity) all night long.

He said he was aroused by that enchanting woman and was burning with desire, but all he could do was take a cold shower.

He said that in the end he could only act like a coward and dare to steal a kiss when the other person was asleep?

Who the hell would believe that?!

Moreover, compared to these...

It seems more respectable to admit that you are "weak" than to admit that you are "cowardly".

"Don't ask anymore."

Li Chen's muffled voice came from under the pillow.

"Let me sleep for a while."

Please answer my attendance question in the first class.

Looking at him, he looked completely drained.

The three roommates exchanged glances.

His eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and a hint of bitterness from being single.

"Look, this is the price of love."

Chen Mo shook his head and wrote down a line of data in his notebook.

[Sample L, after a night of intense emotional interaction, experienced a 40% decrease in physical strength and an 80% level of mental lethargy. Conclusion: Women are the number one killer of coding efficiency.]

Wang Qiang sighed and covered Li Chen with a blanket.

Surprisingly, the movements were quite gentle.

"Sleep well, sleep well, my good godfather."

"It's not easy for someone so young."

"I'll get you some kidneys from the cafeteria later to help you recover."

Li Chen wanted to jump up and kick him.

But he was just too tired.

Consciousness quickly faded.

In my dream.

He returned to the room that was filled with the scent of roses.

Yan Xi, wearing a bathrobe, stood in front of him.

I drew circles on his chest with my finger.

This time, he didn't run away.

Instead, he reached out and grabbed the mischievous little hand...

……

Li Chen slept soundly for a long time.

When I woke up again, it was already 2 p.m.

My stomach is growling with hunger.

The dorm room was empty; those three guys must have all gone to class.

Li Chen got up and washed his face.

Looking at myself in the mirror.

My dark circles have faded a bit, and I feel much better.

There are several unread messages on my phone.

They were all sent by Yan Xi.

Are you awake?

Remember to eat.

[You don't have classes this afternoon, come keep me company at the library.]

The last one is a location.

The fifth floor of the library is the ancient books reading room.

Li Chen looked at the location and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Is this what it feels like to have a girlfriend?

When you wake up, someone greets you; when you go out, someone cares about you.

Although this girlfriend is a bit domineering, a bit cunning, and likes to tease him.

But... it smells so good.

Li Chen tidied himself up quickly and changed into a clean hoodie.

I thought about it.

He then pulled out a packet of mints that Yan Xi had given him last time from the drawer.

Stuff it into your pocket.

Then, with her hair still damp from the recent wash, she went out humming a little tune.

Even if the whole school misunderstands that he is weak.

He accepted it.

Who told him to do it his way?

I just got downstairs at the library.

We haven't even entered yet.

A familiar figure suddenly blocked his way.

It was Lin Feng, the school team captain who had been humiliated by him on the basketball court that day.

However, Raymond Lam looks a little different today.

Gone is the arrogance and domineering attitude of the past.

Instead, it seemed a bit... furtive?

"Brother Li... Brother Li."

Lin Feng rubbed his hands together and approached with a fawning expression.

"Shall we talk in private?"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow.

Is the sun rising in the west?

"Spit it out, I'm in a hurry."

Li Chen glanced at his watch.

Keeping Her Majesty waiting is a serious offense.

Lin Feng looked around to make sure there were no acquaintances among them.

He then lowered his voice and pulled a crumpled admission ticket from his pocket.

"Um... I heard you can program?"

"Could you do me a favor?"

"There's a hackathon this Saturday, and I'd like to get a participation certificate and some credits, but my skill level is..."

Lin Feng scratched his head awkwardly.

"You know what I mean."

Li Chen glanced at the admission ticket.

His expression changed instantly.

That was the ticket to the finals of the "Geek Night" National College Student Cybersecurity Attack and Defense Competition.

It has extremely high gold content.

Only the top ten teams that qualify are eligible to receive it.

This thing actually exists?

"How did you get this thing?" Li Chen asked.

"Hey, my uncle is a sponsor of the event, he got in through connections."

Lin Feng chuckled.

"As long as you're willing to help me, Brother Li, I, Lin Feng, will be the first to object to anyone who dares to cause you trouble at school!"

"and……"

He leaned closer and said mysteriously.

"I heard about the grand prize in this competition."

"It's a limited edition mechanical keyboard, one of only ten sets made worldwide."

"There's still a 100,000 yuan bonus."

Li Chen's eyes lit up.

It doesn't matter whether it's a keyboard or not.

The main thing is the 100,000 yuan bonus.

All his current wealth is only enough to buy Yan Xi half a bag.

To stand up a little more in a relationship where the woman is stronger than the man.

We must earn this first pot of gold.

more importantly.

The birthday surprise he prepared for Yan Xi.

That complicated music box.

It also requires a number of expensive and precision parts.

I was just worried about not having enough money.

This is like receiving a pillow just as you're about to fall asleep.

"make a deal."

Li Chen took the admission ticket and put it in his pocket.

"But let's make it clear first, the prize money is mine, and the ranking is yours."

"no problem!"

Raymond Lam was overjoyed.

"Brother Li is straightforward!"

Watching Lin Feng's departing figure, all smiles and excitement.

Li Chen touched the admission ticket in his pocket.

A confident smile curled at the corners of his lips.

Hackathon?

This is his home turf.

It seems it's time to let the world see the true "technical prowess".

But before that.

First, go to the library to pay your respects to Her Majesty the Queen.
