Chen Tangtang had probably always been like this. Say she was careless and airheaded, and she'd still have a few ideas of her own. Say she was clever, and she'd still be wildly offbeat.

She always managed to take the strangest route and look at things from an angle no one expected.

Someone like her... Zhou You would probably never meet a second one.

“Did you join the freshman group for Hangzhou Z University?” Chen Tangtang was eating the little baked flatbread Zhou You had bought for her. She took one bite, ate half, then forcibly stuffed the other half into Zhou You’s mouth.

Her excuse sounded perfectly righteous: You skipped breakfast, so you must be hungry by now.

“No.” Zhou You dodged twice and still failed, so he could only bite down on it. “Why are you suddenly asking?”

“Because I joined it.” Chen Tangtang slowly licked the sesame seeds off her fingers. She didn’t care at all that what she was doing looked very tempting, because she’d realized she really liked it when Zhou You watched her.

“Why’d you join the freshman group?”

“Don’t universities always have department belles and campus belles? I wanted to see if those girls were pretty.” Chen Tangtang giggled in a low voice. “But I didn’t find any prettier than me.”

“I didn’t expect you to like comparing yourself to other people.” Zhou You turned to glance at her, then kept walking toward the subway station. Since he’d already taken leave, he might as well really go check out Hangzhou Z University’s campus.

“I just think that if I’m prettier than them, then my little male god won’t fall for them.” Chen Tangtang suddenly hugged Zhou You’s arm, wrapping it tightly in softness and warmth. In this regard, she was far more uninhibited than Yun Mingyue.

“Because I like you. I don’t want someone else to steal you away.”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t know what liking someone meant?”

“I do now.”

“...”

Zhou You shook his head and kept walking. With a smile, he replied, “Okay, okay. Got it. I like Ice Sister too.”

“Hehehe~~”

The smile on Chen Tangtang’s face just wouldn’t stop. She clung tightly to Zhou You with the kind of figure countless people envied, letting him experience an unprecedented supreme pleasure.

After they got on the subway, Zhou You deliberately had Chen Tangtang sit in the corner while he sat on the outside, separating her from everyone else. They might not run into anyone with bad intentions, but it was better to be safe first.

Zhou You got the freshman group number from Chen Tangtang. After joining, he flipped through the group album. One girl’s photo had several times more clicks than the second place one.

“Yun Daidai?” He frowned. Why had she come to Hangzhou Z University?

Zhou You started reading the comments under the picture.

Don’tWannaPickAName: [She’s a fairy! I’m simping so hard!]

Salt-Baked Jackfruit: [I hereby declare she’s my goddess for all four years of college!]

Ruri Tangcao: [Who has this junior girl’s contact info? Paying big money. Add Q if interested.]

...

Every single comment was meaningless hormone-fueled nonsense.

After reading them, Zhou You couldn’t help letting out a snort. These people wanted to chase Yun Daidai? If they had the willpower to stay off their phones for three days, then maybe, barely, they’d have a tiny chance.

Otherwise, she’d probably dump them on day one of dating.

His finger tapped the screen. He deleted what he’d typed out. She might not have transferred here specifically to simp for him anyway, so why get full of himself?

As Zhou You looked through the freshman group, Chen Tangtang sat beside him for a while. Then her butt started restlessly shifting against the seat, and her eyes kept drifting toward him on their own.

She wanted him to look at her more. Chatting could never beat flirting with her.

“Little male god.” Chen Tangtang pulled out a stiff card from her bag. “Let’s play this.”

Zhou You looked up. There was a row of letters on the card. He knew this kind of game. You used the first word you spotted on it to test your future fortune.

Chen Tangtang had probably thought it was kind of interesting, so she’d kept it in her bag.

“Don’t want to play?”

Seeing that Zhou You hadn’t reacted for a long while, Chen Tangtang thought he just wasn’t interested.

“I’ll do a magic trick to cheer you up. If you laugh, then you have to play with me.”

The moment she finished speaking, she eagerly started performing, as if she were extremely confident in her magic.

She pinched her ears with both hands and gently pulled upward.

“The simplest and easiest modern magic trick: ear-pointing technique!”

“Pfft~~” Zhou You couldn’t hold it in.

“You laughed, you laughed.” Chen Tangtang clapped her hands, smiling even more happily than Zhou You. She always looked so cheerful that people couldn’t bear to see her sad.

What happened yesterday was probably just a brief flash.

“I’ll play, okay?” Zhou You took the card.

“I found peace and also mild. Looks like this year will be very peaceful.” Chen Tangtang seemed to really believe in this kind of prediction.

Zhou You moved his finger across the card for a while, then stopped. “There’s a LOVE here.”

Love?!

Chen Tangtang rested her chin on Zhou You’s shoulder.

“Keep going, keep going.”

“And then over here...”

Zhou You’s finger stopped on romance.

There’s even a romance~~~

Chen Tangtang’s cheeks flushed slightly. She started thinking of some very nice things.

At that moment, Zhou You continued, “...there’s actually a roma! Rome! Could it be that Paradox is releasing a new game early this year?”

???

Chen Tangtang’s expression froze.

You Paradox players really are the worst!

“I’m not playing anymore!” Chen Tangtang snatched the card away in one grab.

Zhou You looked at her stuffing the card back into her bag, completely baffled.

“Why are you suddenly mad?”

“Bleh bleh bleh~~” Chen Tangtang stuck out her tongue at Zhou You.

“You’re the one who said you wanted to play, and now you’re the one saying you won’t.” Zhou You sighed over women, then picked up his phone and continued asking upperclassmen in the freshman group for advice.

Meanwhile, Chen Tangtang turned sideways in fake anger and also picked up her phone, preparing to ignore Zhou You for thirty minutes.

Well, three minutes.

Just then, in the rich-lady group, Blossoms of Wealth was chatting with Ink-Wash Years.

Ink-Wash Years: [I want to find a time to meet you in person @HandsomeAndThoughtfulMaleGod]

Blossoms of Wealth: [Why are you looking for my little brother?]

Yun Mingyue, who was taking a break to lurk in the chat, was instantly on guard. She didn’t believe Ink-Wash Years was some great beauty too, but being careful never hurt.

Ink-Wash Years: [I’m a teacher at Z University. Xiao You might end up being my student.]

Blossoms of Wealth: [You just got hired?]

Ink-Wash Years: [I’ve been at Z University for years. My rank isn’t low.]

The current president of Hangzhou Z University, in fact.

Yun Mingyue let out a breath of relief. She had already imagined Ink-Wash Years as a balding middle-aged man with a shiny crown.

No wonder “he” was always the most proper one in the group. So he was a university professor.

Blossoms of Wealth: [Then I’ll leave my little brother in your care.]

Love of Ice City: [Can I come to Z University to see you @Ink-Wash Years]

Blossoms of Wealth: [You idle rich young lady.]

Love of Ice City: [?]

Yun Mingyue still hadn’t let go of what happened last time, when Chen Tangtang had stolen a kiss from Zhou You while she wasn’t paying attention.

Now that she had the chance, she was definitely going to mock her properly.

She took a picture of her desk.

Blossoms of Wealth: [Image]

Blossoms of Wealth: [I’m not like you. I’m busy every day, doing meaningful things.]

Chen Tangtang blinked, put down her phone, and hugged Zhou You. She wanted to do something meaningful too.

If Yun Mingyue liked working so much, then she could go ahead and work.

Zhou You was being hugged by Chen Tangtang.

Yun Mingyue was working.
