Chapter 55 Chapter 55: A Man’s Extreme Is Also Calamity
“Yehao, what are you doing?”
A faint fragrance drifted by. Ji Yehao lifted his eyes from the computer screen and saw Su Yuan standing beside him.
He smiled. “Chatting with a friend.”
On his desktop was a chat window, and in his browser two tabs—one a gaming forum, the other politics.
Su Yuan glanced, then returned to her own computer.
Yehao was puzzled. Why did she come over?
“Yehao, what do you think of my outfit?” Su Yuan suddenly asked.
He froze. So that’s why she came—to get my opinion. He studied her clothes. They looked good, though carried a subtle oddness. He nodded. “Very pretty. Suits you.”
Su Yuan beamed, giving him a look of approval. “A friend bought this for me!”
“Your friend’s a girl?”
She nodded happily. “Yes. It’s a bit feminine, but nice.”
Yehao understood. “No wonder it felt different—it was chosen by a girl.”
“Mm, she picked most of my clothes today. But don’t worry, the one I gave you was my own choice.” Secretly, Su Yuan chuckled—it had been picked casually.
Yehao smiled. “Doesn’t matter who chose it. The quality’s good. Must’ve been expensive.”
“How can it not matter? My choice reflects my taste. Original price was 299 yuan!”
“So pricey. You really splurged.” Remembering Su Yuan’s frugality, Yehao felt honored.
Su Yuan waved it off. “I bargained it down to 225.”
“Still, thank you.”
She squinted, enjoying his gratitude.
“Hey, are you two done? It’s just clothes!” Gao Jun’s jealous voice cut in.
Su Yuan laughed. She knew he was upset she hadn’t bought him anything. “Jealous, aren’t you? Go ask Summer Jie to buy you clothes! Three thousand years ago planting flowers was fate, eight thousand years later the fruit depends on fortune… you lack fortune, and you don’t treat me well. Serves you right!”
The retort hit hard. Gao Jun pouted, then sneered. “Sounds like you’re Yehao’s something. I’m jealous.”
Su Yuan realized the double meaning, grew furious. “What I am to Yehao is none of your business! Summer Jie isn’t yours either. Stop twisting words—we have no relationship.”
Gao Jun slammed the desk, eyes gleaming. “Linfei will be mine. And you… haha…” He turned to Yehao. “Careful, Su Yuan’s mind isn’t normal. They say men with feminine looks—watch out, you might be his target!”
“You bastard!!”
Su Yuan flushed red, slamming her mouse. Me, a man, being smeared like this? Unbearable! She wanted to hit him, but raising her sleeve revealed her arm—she hesitated, then lowered it angrily.
“This jerk dares joke like that!!” she fumed.
Gao Jun shook his head. “Opposite sexes only for reproduction. Same sex is true love.”
“You… want to die?” Su Yuan gritted her teeth.
Yehao sighed. “You two again? Su Yuan, ignore him. The more you fight, the happier he gets.”
Su Yuan realized he was right. Gao Jun was just unbalanced.
Her eyes gleamed mischievously. Fine. Let him try my ‘chasing girls’ advice. Summer Jie will deal with him for me.
Gao Jun suddenly felt uneasy. Looking at Su Yuan’s slim figure, he thought, She’s too delicate. Like a girl. Maybe I shouldn’t bully her.
He convinced himself: A real man doesn’t fight women. That’s all.
But staring at her, a strange thought arose. She looks more like a real woman than any campus beauty… A man this beautiful is a disaster. His heart thumped.
“Su Yuan, you bought a lot today. Not like you.”
Yehao nodded curiously.
Su Yuan winced. “Yeah. Spent over two thousand. Nearly broke.”
Gao Jun gaped. “What! You must’ve struck it rich!”
Su Yuan’s eyes flashed. “Spending two thousand means I’m rich? Think of the rich kids—tens of thousands spent casually. And me, just two thousand, and you call it wealth? That’s insulting.”
Gao Jun choked, speechless.
Su Yuan smiled, waving it off. I have presence. No need for words—my aura alone silences him.
She felt proud. I do have the dignity of a dorm leader.
But Yehao’s calm, detached demeanor frustrated her. No desires, no weaknesses. Impossible to affect him.
Her smile faded. She leaned in, conspiratorial. “Yehao, Gao Jun, let me tell you something…”
“What is it?” Gao Jun asked eagerly.
“Aren’t you curious where I got the money for clothes?”
“Yes! Tell us!”
“I earned it!”
Seeing their curiosity, Su Yuan lowered her voice. “It all started this summer vacation…”
