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

The next morning, Li Chen was awakened by the vibration of his phone.

He opened his eyes groggily; the sunlight was a bit too bright.

The person in my arms was still asleep, breathing evenly, like a docile cat.

He carefully removed her arm and glanced at his phone.

It's Wang Qiang's WeChat.

[Third brother, where are you? Didn't come home again last night?]

[Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely! Did your senior drag you to "work overtime" again?]

[Holy crap, Zhao Zixuan said you drove your Porsche out last night, you two... really?]

Holy crap! They really went to a hotel?!

[The God of War is awesome! (Voice cracks)]

Li Chen looked at the string of messages and was both amused and exasperated.

He replied.

【roll.】

Then he put down his phone, looked at Yan Xi's sleeping face, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the forehead.

Yan Xi's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Awake?" Li Chen asked with a smile.

"Mmm." Yan Xi's voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up.

She looked at him, her eyes still somewhat hazy.

"What time is it?"

"7:30."

"Mmm..." Yan Xi responded, then closed her eyes and snuggled closer to him.

"Sleep a little longer."

"No, I have class at 8:30." Li Chen pinched her nose.

"I'm not going," Yan Xi said stubbornly.

"That won't do." Li Chen laughed. "You dare skip Liu Yidao's class?"

Upon hearing the name "Liu Yidao," Yan Xi's brows furrowed instantly.

The leader of the "Four Great Constables" of the Computer Science Department had an alarmingly high failure rate, and his roll call method was even more unpredictable.

Although she wasn't a computer science major, she had heard about it before.

"Have your roommate answer for you."

"I wouldn't dare," Li Chen said, looking troubled. "He remembered me from last time."

"Hmph." Yan Xi reluctantly sat up, her long hair a mess, looking like a little lion.

Looking at her like this, Li Chen found her extremely cute and couldn't resist kissing her again.

"Go wash up quickly, my queen."

……

At 8:10, the Porsche came to a stop in front of the boys' dormitory.

"I'm going up." Li Chen unbuckled his seatbelt.

"Okay." Yan Xi nodded. "Let's have lunch together."

"it is good."

Li Chen pushed open the car door and got out.

As soon as he turned around, he saw three familiar faces.

Wang Qiang, Chen Mo, Zhao Zixuan.

The three stood side by side at the dormitory entrance, arms crossed, their expressions serious, like three guardian deities.

Especially Wang Qiang, his eyes looked just like those of a resentful woman who had been abandoned in her boudoir.

"Hey, everyone's here?" Li Chen greeted him with a smile.

No one cares about him.

Wang Qiang gestured with his chin towards the Porsche behind him.

"Wow, third brother, you're driving a Porsche now."

"So you do know how to come back?" Zhao Zixuan said sarcastically.

Chen Mo adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed, "Based on the fact that the person's clothing was the same as yesterday, and that they appeared slightly tired but had a spring in their eyes, combined with the mode of transportation and the length of time they disappeared, we can basically determine that their activities last night were quite extensive."

"Get lost." Li Chen laughed and cursed, then stepped forward and put his arms around Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan's shoulders, one in each hand.

"Let's go, we're going to be late for class!"

"Don't give me that!" Wang Qiang shook off his hand and pointed at him with a pained expression.

"Li Chen, Li Chen, I've finally seen through you!"

"Once you have a wife, you forget your father!"

"Exactly!" Zhao Zixuan chimed in. "The three of us spent the whole night alone in this empty room, worrying about you, while you were out having a good time!"

Li Chen was amused by them.

"What are you doing? Is that time of the month?"

"You're the one who's on your period!" Wang Qiang gritted his teeth. "Tell me, what did you do last night? Confess!"

"What can we do? Eat, watch a movie, and then..." Li Chen deliberately dragged out his words.

"And then what?" the three asked in unison, their eyes gleaming with gossip.

"Then it got too late, the school was closed, so I found a place to rest nearby," Li Chen said casually.

Holy crap!

"Really?"

"What about the details? Are there any details at all?"

Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan immediately surrounded them, their faces lewd.

Only Chen Mo remained calm.

"According to psychological micro-expression analysis, when the third brother said the word 'rest,' the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, which indicates that he was deliberately concealing key information."

"What he said was most likely just a literal meaning of 'rest'."

Li Chen gave Chen Mo a thumbs up.

"Chen Mo is the one who truly understands me."

"Tch—" Wang Qiang and Zhao Zi-xuan simultaneously let out a disdainful hiss.

"Boring."

"Yeah, I thought you'd finally figured it out."

Li Chen smiled and didn't explain further.

Some things are better left unsaid.

The four of them walked toward the teaching building, chatting and laughing.

"Oh, right, third brother," Wang Qiang suddenly remembered something, "we have PE class this afternoon, you know?"

"Yes, I know. What's wrong?"

"Old Sun said that basketball will account for 30% of the final exam this semester." Wang Qiang looked worried. "You know, with my skill level, I'm only good at shooting hoops."

"What are you afraid of? I'm here." Li Chen patted his chest.

"That's true." Wang Qiang immediately perked up. "I'll be watching your performance this afternoon, Li Shen!"

……

In the afternoon, it was physical education class.

After a simple warm-up run, just as Wang Qiang had predicted, PE teacher Lao Sun gathered the boys from both classes together.

"This semester's physical education classes will mainly focus on basketball."

"The final exam will include a basic physical fitness test and a class competition."

"This afternoon, let's start with a friendly match so everyone can get to know each other."

Old Sun blew his whistle and started dividing the group into teams.

Li Chen, Wang Qiang, Zhao Zixuan, and Chen Mo were assigned to the same team.

Before the match began, Li Chen took off his Vacheron Constantin watch and carefully put it into his pocket.

This thing is too expensive; I'd be heartbroken if it got scratched or dented.

"Third brother, take it easy," Wang Qiang reminded him from the side. "Don't make the same mistake as last time and send him flying."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Li Chen smiled and began to flex his wrists.

The whistle blew, and the game officially began.

The moment Li Chen got the ball, his entire aura changed.

Normally, he's a sunny and cheerful boy next door.

On the court, he is the king who controls everything.

His dribbling was fluid and graceful, his crossovers were ghostly and skillful, his passes were incredibly accurate, and his dunks were unstoppable.

He almost single-handedly dominated the entire field.

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell from the sidelines.

"Holy crap! Who's that guy? He's amazing!"

"Li Chen from the Computer Science Department, don't you know him? He's the one who knocked out the center of the Polytechnic University with one punch last time."

"That's him? Wow, he's even more handsome in person than in the videos!"

"Ahhh! Li Shen is so handsome!"

Soon, a crowd gathered around the basketball court.

Most of them are girls.

Their gazes, without exception, were all focused on the figure number 18.

Wang Qiang and Zhao Zixuan barely touched the ball.

All they had to do was pass the ball to Li Chen and watch him perform.

Even Chen Mo, a tech geek who never moves, was caught up in the atmosphere and ran around a few times.

Intermission.

As soon as Li Chen reached the sidelines, he was surrounded by a group of girls.

"Li Chen, have some water!"

"Hey junior, here's a towel!"

"Li Shen, can I add you on WeChat?"

Li Chen was a bit overwhelmed by this scene.

He politely declined all the water and towels offered, and also politely declined the request to add him on WeChat.

"I'm sorry, my girlfriend will be angry."

His words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the enthusiasm of all the girls.

It was like a bomb that exploded in the crowd.

"He has a girlfriend?"

"Who is it? They're so lucky!"

"I feel like my youth is over..."

Just then, a clear, cold voice pierced through the crowd and rang out distinctly.

"Excuse me."

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

Yan Xi, dressed in a smart tracksuit, walked over slowly, carrying a bottle of water and a clean towel.

In the sunlight, her skin glowed white, and her features were so exquisite that she looked like a work of art.

Her aura was so powerful that it instantly silenced all the surrounding chatter.

She ignored everyone and walked straight up to Li Chen.
