The sun was shining brightly. Under the Guanghui Building of University C, many students stopped in their tracks and cast looks full of curiosity towards a shaded area.
Under a big tree, a tall and lanky boy was standing lazily. His sunny and handsome aura was so captivating that people couldn't take their eyes off him. However, what seemed out of place was his dark - blue suit.
It was obvious that the suit was quite imposing and of high quality, but on him, it just seemed overly formal.
It seemed that with his style, he should be wearing a flamboyant black windbreaker, donning cool sunglasses, and roaring into the school on a gas - powered vehicle. Moreover...
What's the deal with a college student wearing a suit to class?
Even more astonishing was the girl standing in front of him.
The girl had long hair cascading down her shoulders. With a pure and charming appearance, she looked especially delicate in front of Zheng Nanfeng.
"Classmate... My name is Zhou Ruonuo."
Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Zheng Nanfeng let out an "ah" and frowned, asking, "What? What's your name?"
"Zhou, Zhou Ruonuo..." Zhou Ruonuo's face turned completely red.
By this time, Tao Tao had already dragged Ji Xiaoli over, and the two crouched down to peek.
"You know that Zhou Ruonuo, right? She's from the finance department. People call her Zhou Zhiruo."
Tao Tao pointed at Zhou Ruonuo's back and whispered, "Oh no, it should be Zhou Zhiruo before she turned evil, the kind that's delicate and makes people feel pity. But she's really beautiful, and many people are chasing her!"
"Tsk, I really didn't expect that she'd set her sights on Zheng Nanfeng so quickly! Could this be the so - called love at first sight?"
Ji Xiaoli half - listened. Her gaze passed over the back of Zhou Ruonuo's head and landed on Zheng Nanfeng's lazy face.
Tsk, it really was him!
Why was he here?
And he was wearing the suit she bought for him yesterday...
"Oh, classmate Zhou Ruonuo." Zheng Nanfeng nodded casually, "Do you need something from me?"
"Um, no... Ah no, I do have something..."
The lower Zhou Ruonuo spoke, the lower her head dropped. Her silky hair fell down, covering half of her face. "I just want to ask if you'd like to..."
"Like to what?"
"Like to... Ah, like to join a club?"
Tao Tao impatiently clicked her tongue. "It's obviously a lame excuse she just came up with! A club? Pfft!"
"Ah, a club?" Zheng Nanfeng frowned and immediately refused, "No way! Not interested."
Are you kidding! He came here to chase his future wife!
What would he do with a club?
Zheng Nanfeng was about to take a step and leave, but classmate Zhou Ruonuo quickly followed up. He had already stuffed one hand into his pocket and raised his eyebrows, glancing at her.
"Classmate, what on earth do you want?"
"I... I..." Zhou Ruonuo's face flushed red. She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Classmate, can I add you on WeChat and be friends with you?"
As soon as these words were out, the surrounding students who were watching the show all held their breaths, eagerly awaiting Zheng Nanfeng's response.
Zheng Nanfeng also raised his eyebrows and, as expected, spoke up, "Classmate, are you... falling for me?"
Zhou Ruonuo:!!!
The straightforward question almost made Zhou Ruonuo want to dig a hole and bury herself!
However, what Zheng Nanfeng said next made Zhou Ruonuo wish she could just stay in that hole forever!
"Classmate, you're very beautiful, but..." Zheng Nanfeng's handsome eyebrows furrowed, but there was a hint of pride in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"I already have a fiancée."
Zhou Ruonuo:?!
Onlookers: He's taken?!
"She's also very beautiful."
Zheng Nanfeng gave a bright smile, like a gentle spring breeze and a warm sun.
Ji Xiaoli felt her heart pounding suddenly.
The next moment, her gaze was unexpectedly caught by Zheng Nanfeng.
"Hey! My fiancée is here!"
Damn it!
Who's your fiancée!
Ji Xiaoli's face instantly turned bright red. She turned around and was about to run, but unexpectedly, with one long stride, Zheng Nanfeng blocked her way!
"Xiaoli, want to have lunch together?"
Zheng Nanfeng showed his big white teeth in a smile.
"Who wants to have lunch with you!"
Ji Xiaoli felt the surprised, envious, and even jealous looks from around her. Her face was burning. She gritted her teeth and glared at the culprit - Zheng Nanfeng.
"Who's your fiancée?"
Zheng Nanfeng was taken aback by the question. "We..."
"We have nothing to do with each other! Please stop talking nonsense!"
After Ji Xiaoli said this firmly, she pushed him away and rushed back to the dormitory.
Zheng Nanfeng looked at her back, feeling lost and at a loss.
What happened to her...
Wasn't she fine yesterday?
She even gave him a suit...
"Xiaoli, Xiaoli, what's wrong with you!"
Tao Tao chased after Ji Xiaoli in a daze. After gasping for a couple of breaths, she quickly asked, "Is that handsome guy really your fiancé?"
"No!!"
Ji Xiaoli immediately denied it. "He's just - just a -"
She couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for a moment.
But in any case, she didn't recognize this childhood - arranged marriage!
"Oh, I get it!" Tao Tao seemed to figure it out on her own during Ji Xiaoli's silence. "He just can't win your heart, so now he claims to be your fiancé! Right?"
Ji Xiaoli: "Yeah! That's it!"
Tao Tao let out a long sigh and showed a rather helpless expression.
"Then, Xiaoli, you... are amazing!"
Tao Tao nudged her with her elbow and winked playfully. "You're successful in both love and money! When are you going to share your secrets?"
Ji Xiaoli:...
Her secret was probably that lucky system.
So, did this mean that Zheng Nanfeng was also part of her good luck? A lucky encounter in love?
Realizing this, Ji Xiaoli felt like crying. This was such a waste!
What did she need love for? What she wanted was money! Wealth!
Ji Xiaoli quickly started negotiating with the system: Hey, can we talk? Can you convert all my love - related luck into money - related luck?
System: [The most wonderful thing in the world is that you're being naughty while he's smiling. Love, what a fascinating thing~~]
Ji Xiaoli:...
Can love be eaten?
[The player's love - related luck is on the rise. Another romantic encounter will come soon! Let's look forward to it~~]
Look forward to what!
Ji Xiaoli: Are you listening to me? I don't want love. I want money! Fuck love. I just need money!
[Wow~ The player's love - related luck is rising significantly. Did the player receive a confession today?]
Ji Xiaoli:...
It's like talking to a brick wall!
Just as Ji Xiaoli was feeling annoyed, a message from her editor Song Yuan popped up.
"I've read your manuscript. There's no problem. After the chief editor sets the price, your manuscript fee will be transferred to your account next month."
Ji Xiaoli immediately beamed with joy. Looking at the message on the screen, she carefully replied, "Then... what do you think the price of this manuscript will be?"
Ji Xiaoli took a deep breath and waited quietly for Song Yuan's reply.
One minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Five minutes... Finally, there was a reply!
Ji Xiaoli felt like fireworks were going off in her heart!
Damn it! This was the first pot of gold in her life! A number that a poor student like her didn't even dare to dream of!
She originally thought that getting her manuscript approved was already a great blessing in her life, but she didn't expect - God was kind to her!
No! It was the system that was kind to her!
Ji Xiaoli: "Wuwu, thank you so much!"
Song Yuan: "Haha, it's okay. You deserve it."
"Oh right, change the title to something more innovative."
Ji Xiaoli thought for a while: "Then... How about *My Life Is on a Roll*?"
