The beatdown upstairs was still in full swing, while the girls chattered amongst themselves.
"Huahua, are you interested in that Eldest Young Master Qi?"
The girl Skinny Monkey and his friends had thought was cold and aloof, Chen Jia, was now all smiles as she fished for information from her roommate.
"What’s this? You’ve fallen for him?"
Seeing Chen Jia ask, Tan Hua knew exactly what was on her mind.
"Yeah, I have. Or, to put it another way, who could say no to a tall, rich, and handsome guy who drives an A8?"
Chen Jia was surprisingly honest and admitted it outright.
"Well, if you like him, you should go for it. Don’t worry about my feelings."
Tan Hua was being magnanimous. She didn’t want to fall out with her roommate of four years over a guy she had just met.
"Oh, Huahua, you’re the best! I love you so much!"
Chen Jia hugged Tan Hua excitedly, the weight on her shoulders finally lifting.
With a shining example like Tan Hua in the picture, she really didn’t have the confidence to win Qi Sheng over.
"Then go for it. I’ll be your wingman."
Tan Hua smiled and glanced casually at her phone.
Unsurprisingly, it was another flood of messages asking how she was and what she was up to.
To be honest, she couldn’t even remember how these guys had added her on WeChat in the first place.
As a top-tier beauty, there were far too many men trying to pursue her.
There were even guys who drove Ferraris among her suitors.
Qi Sheng was certainly outstanding, but she was no slouch herself.
"Jiajia, we’ll help you too."
Her other two roommates also chimed in, encouraging Chen Jia.
In their dorm room, Chen Jia was the best-looking one after Tan Hua.
However, Chen Jia had dated in college.
This was perfectly normal. It would be strange for a beauty rated over 85 not to have any suitors in college.
That’s why Tan Hua’s perfect score was all the more precious.
What man wouldn’t like a girl who was still a virgin?
...
When they reached the third floor, they saw several guys in the middle of a heated game of pool.
Skinny Monkey and the others, who had cigarettes dangling from their lips, quickly stubbed them out.
Smoking might look cool in front of other guys.
But most girls couldn’t stand the smell of smoke.
"Oh, you’re playing pool?"
Now that she had her roommate’s blessing, Chen Jia started making small talk.
"Yeah. Want to play some mahjong?"
Qi Sheng smiled and nodded, pointing to a bedroom that had been converted into a mahjong room.
"That’s okay, we’ll just watch you guys play. We’ll be eating soon anyway."
Chen Jia was no stranger to pool, having gone with her boyfriend a few times back in college.
Seeing Qi Sheng stylishly sink ball after ball and quickly run the table, she couldn’t help but cheer, "Wow, you’re so good at this."
"Ahem, I’m just average."
Qi Sheng felt a little awkward at her comment.
He knew she was talking about his pool skills, of course.
But most men’s minds would subconsciously jump to... other things.
Chen Jia was far more forward than Tan Hua.
She proactively handed him the chalk and helped him chalk his cue tip.
Seeing this, anyone who didn’t know better would have mistaken her for Qi Sheng’s girlfriend.
His roommates standing nearby were dumbfounded.
’Is this the same fucking ice queen from before?’
’Why is she being so forward with Qi Sheng?’
"Damn it. With the Great Saint around, I guess we don’t stand a chance."
Skinny Monkey had been the most interested in Chen Jia.
As for Tan Hua, she didn’t say a word.
But the almost imperceptible upward tilt of her lips showed her opinion of Qi Sheng had clearly improved quite a bit.
Although Qi Sheng wasn’t very experienced, he could still feel Tan Hua’s subtle glances on him.
’Until I’ve won over Tan Hua, I’m not going to be playing the field.’
’200,000 yuan a month is great and all, but if I level up, that becomes 1,000,000 a month.’
’Holy cow, an income of one million a month... What does that even mean?’
’That’s an annual income in the tens of millions!’
’Not to mention, the system also gives rewards for improving all sorts of abilities.’
’With that kind of temptation, it’d be a miracle if I even gave Chen Jia a second look.’
’If it weren’t for the system’s requirements, maybe I wouldn’t have minded having a little fun with Chen Jia.’
’But as things stand, I don’t have time to deal with her.’
After a few more games, the sore losers just threw down their cues and ran for the karaoke room downstairs.
"Those bastards, they’re completely shameless."
Qi Sheng cursed with a laugh, but could only helplessly put the cues back and re-rack the balls.
’Yeah, I’m a little obsessive-compulsive.’
When he got to the karaoke room downstairs, everyone was laughing and joking as they picked out songs.
They were no match for him at pool.
’But when it comes to singing, there’s no way we’ll lose to Qi Sheng, right?’
Back in college, whenever their dorm went for karaoke, Qi Sheng could sing off-key even when following the original artist’s track.
It was an embarrassing part of his past that could never be erased.
’Well, well. Can’t beat me at pool, so now they want to challenge my singing?’
Qi Sheng grinned.
’Ever heard of Professional Level singing?’
’So what if I used to sing off-key? What does that have to do with the me of today?’
’Do they have any idea what it means to be a professional-level singer?’
