"Xiao Bai, you’ve spent all four years of college holed up in the library, don’t you find it dull? Look at Jiang Chen, he’s already come to his senses. You’ve already received offers from so many top-notch companies, and with the school’s recommendation, your future’s bright. Why do you still torture yourself like this? Young people need to learn to enjoy life while they can."

As Jiang Chen reached the dormitory door, he heard Luo Peng earnestly lecturing Bai Zheli.

Today was the weekend, and the school was on holiday. As always, Bai Zheli was probably headed to the library to study.

"Peng, I still have one book left to finish."

"There are so many books in the library. Even if you read for a lifetime, can you finish them all?"

Luo Peng laughed.

"I’m not saying it’s wrong to study, but only knowing dead books doesn’t help your life much. With your current abilities, securing a life free from want after graduation is already well within your reach."

"Live to old age, learn to old age. If you don’t strive for improvement, don’t drag Xiao Bai down with you."

Jiang Chen smiled and entered the dorm.

"Jiang Chen, I don’t like to hear that. Am I really dragging Xiao Bai down? Look at his four years in college, whenever there’s a break, he locks himself in the library. It used to be okay, but now we’re all seniors. Youth flies by in the blink of an eye. We can’t waste the best of times on books, right?"

"I’m not just bragging. Marx once said, ’Rational action is only effective when making very small decisions. For life-changing matters, you must take risks. The most significant events tend to happen by chance, and it’s only the insignificant ones that can be meticulously planned.’"

"That was Marx? Sounds like something you’d say."

Li Shao joked.

"It’s not important."

Luo Peng was unfazed. "You just tell me if what I said is right or not."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and felt there was some truth to it.

He looked at Bai Zheli, "I think Luo Peng has a point this time."

"Let’s test the new fire with the new tea, enjoy poetry and wine while we’re young. Cherish your youth, young man."

Luo Peng sighed.

He had a unique way of making hedonism sound fresh and refined.

"Jiang Chen, what were you up to last night?"

Luo Peng asked casually.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to answer, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and walked to the balcony.

"Bai Ge."

"Jiang Shao, there’s no need to be so polite for such a trifle."

Jiang Chen laughed, "Bai Ge, I can’t always take your help for granted. If you don’t accept the money, I won’t dare to bother you again."

On the way back, he had sent a sum of money to Bai Haoran through Liang Zhenlun.

Not much.

Three hundred thousand.

Giving it directly to Bai Haoran, he knew the man would never accept it.

The world bustles for profit.

Even the best relationships need interests to sustain them.

Furthermore.

Bai Haoran did take a certain risk helping him kidnap Shi Qianxi last night.

Just because he kept quiet didn’t mean Jiang Chen could ignore it with a clear conscience.

Bai Haoran fell silent for a moment.

As someone who lived on the fringes, he wasn’t one for posturing. Seeing Jiang Chen speak to this extent, he dispensed with further courtesy.

"Jiang Shao, everything went smoothly last night?"

Reminded of the near ’catch in the act’ incident, Jiang Chen exhaled softly.

"It’s taken care of."

"That Ms. Shi’s father is the chairman of Jinhai Industrial with expansive connections in East Sea. If Ms. Shi tells her father about this..."

Bai Haoran left it at that.

"I know, Bai Ge, don’t worry."

Without more idle talk, Bai Haoran hung up.

"Then, Jiang Shao, I’ll hang up now."

"Mhm."

Jiang Chen put down the phone.

At his current level, he naturally couldn’t see the complexities of high society. He had never even heard of Jinhai Industrial, but there were things one could infer.

He wasn’t sure about the extent of Shi Qianxi’s family background, but from her untamable character and Sun Xiyu’s attitude, he could guess.

Such figures, probably not any less formidable than the big shots in his WeChat ’Emperor’s Chat Group,’ might even surpass them.

Compared to them, he might just be an ant, if not less.

Although reality was a bit cruel, Jiang Chen wasn’t discouraged. He was still young, and being young meant endless possibilities, plus the blessing of his "loyal dog" gold.

If life were compared to a game, then he was the "cheat-enabled" chosen one, enjoying such an advantage. If he still couldn’t outdo a "regular player" in the end, then there would be no room for complaints even if he decided to delete his account and quit the game.

Of course.

Even though he was "favored by fate," he still entered the server quite late. Compared to those who already had a bunch of powerful gear in their high-level accounts, he was still too naive and fragile. If he were to flaunt his cheat privileges in front of them and challenge them to a solo fight, his slim health bar would certainly lead to being swiftly defeated without the opponent uttering a word.

Therefore, the only way forward was to quietly level up and make sure not to act rashly.

"I told Jin Jin and the others about the villa,"

In the lively central playground.

Li Shuru and Jiang Chen were taking a walk under the moonlight.

"They said they want to visit."

"It’s your house, you’re the homeowner. You’re free to invite whomever you want, you don’t need my consent,"

Jiang Chen said with an indifferent smile.

"Si Yi says that you’re giving me such an expensive villa because you’re up to no good."

"Don’t listen to her,"

Jiang Chen complained in a childlike manner, "She tricked me into a pair of shoes last time, she’s very bad."

Li Shuru smiled, tilting her head.

She was dressed in a light aquamarine floral maxi dress today, giving the impression of a sea breeze on the face, aesthetically pleasing and fresh, like a moving landscape painting, a delight to the eyes.

"But why do I feel like she makes sense? When people offer unsolicited help, they’re usually up to no good or they’ve got ulterior motives. There were some men in the past who wanted to give me houses, and they definitely had their reasons."

"Are you suggesting that I have ulterior motives? It seems like someone else has ulterior motives."

Jiang Chen teased.

Li Shuru’s cheeks immediately turned red.

"You... "

"I’m just speaking the truth, tsk tsk, to think I actually believed someone who couldn’t turn on a shower,"

"Jiang Chen!"

Despite her proud and aloof demeanor, Li Shuru was still just a girl who couldn’t bear such teasing. She was about to unleash a woman’s innate skill, "Nine Yin White Bone Claw," but Jiang Chen anticipated her move and ran away ahead of time.

"You stop right there!"

Li Shuru, casting aside all concern for her goddess image, quickly picked up her skirt to chase after him. Although she had long legs, they were no match for a man’s athleticism; failing to catch him, she stopped abruptly without regard for the onlookers’ gazes.

"I’m angry now!"

The surrounding students looked on in astonishment at the uncharacteristic behavior of the arts college’s beauty, shattering their perceptions.

Having run about seventy to eighty meters, Jiang Chen stopped, only slightly out of breath, and slowly walked back.

Li Shuru didn’t wait for him, turning around and walking towards the exit.

Really angry?

Jiang Chen hurried to catch up,

"It was just a joke. You can’t be that petty, right?"

Taking the opportunity, Li Shuru swiftly grabbed the soft flesh of his waist with the speed of lightning,

"Who did you say has ulterior motives? Who did you say?"

"I, I, I, let’s say it was me, okay?"

Jiang Chen winced and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Exaggerate a little more!"

Li Shuru, who hadn’t really put much effort into it, glared at him, then withdrew her hand and walked towards the playground exit.

Jiang Chen escorted her to the girls’ dormitory building.

Li Shuru stopped, turned around, and looked at him without saying a word.

Nearby, many young couples lingered affectionately, some even embracing each other warmly.

Jiang Chen wasn’t insensitive to romance; in fact, he understood that since that night, there were some things he was destined not to evade.

He extended his hand, gently sweeping the hair from Li Shuru’s forehead, then leaned in and kissed her smooth forehead.

"Go on up,"

The previously cold-faced Li Shuru’s expression instantly thawed, her eyes softening. She let out a soft "mm," glanced at Jiang Chen, then, to his surprise, she tiptoed up and offered a sweet kiss of her own.

"I’m going up now."

Turning away quickly, she hurried into the dormitory building.

With the warmth still lingering on his lips, Jiang Chen stood watching her graceful figure leave, his eyes full of complex emotions.

In this world, there is no perfect solution.

To be unworthy of the system is to be unworthy of you.
