Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

After the door closed, Su Yue finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Qin Luo, what exactly are you guarding against? This is too much."

Qin Luo walked to the window and gently drew the curtains.

"The less you know about certain things, the safer you are."

When he turned around, his gentle smile returned to his face.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook."

Su Yue knew she wouldn't get any more information by asking, so she could only sigh.

"Whatever, anyway, my mom bought all the dishes you like to eat."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Xiao Ruoxi was tossing and turning in bed.

The phone screen lit up, and a message from the guild management was clearly visible.

[The quarterly guild war starts next week and will last for seven days. The champion will receive a one-week featured spot on the Douyin homepage and qualify for the annual finals.]

This was the opportunity she had been dreaming of, but at this moment it made her feel extremely anxious.

She won the last monthly competition entirely thanks to the crazy donations from that mysterious ID "Descendant of the Dragon".

But since that incident, this mysterious benefactor has vanished without a trace and has never appeared again.

Xiao Ruoxi opened her private messages and found that all of the dozen or so messages she had sent to "Descendants of the Dragon" were unread.

The last entry was from two weeks ago.

Thank you for your continued support. The quarterly season is about to begin. I wonder if you will still be watching my live stream?

"Damn."

Xiao Ruoxi threw her phone aside and covered her head with a pillow.

Four years ago, she was a medical student, dreaming of becoming a doctor.

But reality soon dealt her a heavy blow. With a bachelor's degree, she simply couldn't find a decent job in the medical field.

She stumbled upon the live streaming industry by chance and became completely engrossed in it.

However, four years have passed, and her live stream viewership remains lukewarm.

Until three months ago.

A streamer named "Descendant of the Dragon" suddenly appeared and tipped her 200,000 yuan in a single live stream, making her go from an unknown streamer to the monthly champion.

"Without him"

Xiao Ruoxi murmured to herself, her eyes slightly red.

Outside the window, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Xiao Ruoxi got up, washed up quickly, and decided to go out for breakfast to clear her head.

The streets were nearly deserted in the early morning, and a light mist hung in the air.

Xiao Ruoxi wandered aimlessly until she smelled an enticing fragrance.

Looking up, I saw a beautifully decorated Cantonese breakfast shop.

"One bowl of congee, please."

After ordering, she found a seat by the window.

The porridge was served quickly, steaming hot, with glistening rice grains, and sprinkled with bright green scallions and golden crushed peanuts.

It's expensive, but it's definitely fragrant.

Just as Xiao Ruoxi picked up her spoon to start eating, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Boss, is this congee made to order?"

She turned around abruptly and saw Qin Luo standing in front of the counter, studying the menu intently.

"Mr. Qin Qin?"

Xiao Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Luo turned his head and was visibly taken aback when he saw Xiao Ruoxi, before giving her a polite smile.

"Miss Xiao, what a coincidence."

"Are you here for breakfast too?"

Xiao Ruoxi asked, her heart beating faster for some reason.

Qin Luo nodded.

"I heard this restaurant is good, let's give it a try."

He said to his boss.

"Then I'll have a bowl of congee too."

After paying, Qin Luo hesitated for a moment before walking to the opposite side of Xiao Ruoxi.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Of course I don't mind!"

Xiao Ruoxi quickly said, even unconsciously tidying her hair.

After Qin Luo sat down, he looked curiously at the hot porridge in front of him.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever eaten congee cooked with raw ingredients."

"really?"

Xiao Ruoxi opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"You're not a local?"

"He's a local."

Qin Luo smiled.

"I just thought it was too expensive before, and I couldn't bear to eat it."

Xiao Ruoxi almost choked on the porridge.

"Are you kidding me?"

She simply couldn't reconcile the image of this wealthy man with his luxury cars and mansion with that of someone who couldn't even bear to eat a bowl of porridge.

Qin Luo's expression, however, was very serious.

"I'm not kidding. When I was a child, my family was poor. One bowl of porridge was enough to buy two kilograms of rice. We couldn't afford to eat like that."

The morning sunlight streamed through the glass window of the breakfast shop onto the table. Qin Luo took a bite of a freshly fried dough stick, the crisp sound ringing in his ears.

Xiao Ruoxi across from him was looking him up and down with a suspicious gaze, her almond-shaped eyes filled with the words "You're kidding me."

"You're saying you're so poor you can't even afford rent?"

Xiao Ruoxi placed the soy milk cup on the table with a "thump".

"Young Master Qin, you drive a Koenigsegg and live in a river-view mansion, and now you're telling me you were once destitute?"

Qin Luo slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"What, you don't believe it?"

"Believe in you to be a ghost!"

Xiao Ruoxi rolled her eyes.

"Even if someone as wealthy as you falls on hard times, you wouldn't be unable to pay rent, would you?"

“A few months ago, I didn’t have the system yet.”

Qin Luo's voice suddenly lowered, his eyes filled with the shadow of memories.

"Back then, I made money by giving traditional Chinese medicine massages to rich women, and I also had to support my girlfriend. The number in my bank account never exceeded four digits."

Xiao Ruoxi spat out the mouthful of soy milk she had just taken a sip of, and hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth.

"Ahem. What did you say? Traditional Chinese massage? A rich woman?"

"What, you look down on massage therapists?"

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.

"I'm a legitimate traditional Chinese medicine massage therapist, and my fees start at two thousand yuan per session."

"two thousand?"

Xiao Ruoxi's eyes widened.

"What kind of rich woman is so generous?"

Qin Luo smiled mysteriously.

"Trade secrets."

Xiao Ruoxi stared at Qin Luo for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Qin Luo, it's a real shame you're not writing novels with your storytelling skills! Rich woman, traditional Chinese medicine massage, why don't you just say you were a retired special forces soldier?"

Qin Luo shrugged and didn't explain further.

He knew that the truth was often more unbelievable than a lie.

As the laughter subsided, Xiao Ruoxi's expression suddenly darkened. She stirred the porridge in her bowl, her voice lowering.

"Actually, I've run into some trouble recently."

"Oh?"

Qin Luo looked up.

"The guild wars are starting next week."

Xiao Ruoxi sighed.

“But my ‘big brother’ hasn’t been online for over a month, and he’s not replying to my private messages.”

Qin Luo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a strange look in his eyes.

Of course he knew who Xiao Ruoxi meant by "Big Brother." That was the identity he had previously used as a pseudonym.

"Without the support of 'Big Brother,' I would definitely lose this time."

Xiao Ruoxi scratched her hair in distress.

"During the last guild war, he single-handedly spent 500,000 on gifts, completely crushing the opposing team. Now everyone in the guild is counting on me."

Qin Luo smiled faintly.

"Maybe your 'big brother' is just temporarily busy."

"I hope so."

Xiao Ruoxi was listlessly poking at the steamed buns when suddenly her eyes lit up.

"By the way! Qin Luo, could I borrow your Koenigsegg?"

"Ok?"

"I accidentally filmed your car during my last live stream, and my follower count skyrocketed!"

Xiao Ruoxi gestured excitedly. "Everyone online is speculating about my relationship with the luxury car owner. If only we could do a live stream dedicated to luxury cars!"

Qin Luo shook his head regretfully.

"The car was scratched and is still at the 4S store."

"what?"

Xiao Ruoxi immediately wilted.

"When did this happen?"

"The night before yesterday."

Qin Luo shook his head as he recalled the clumsy delivery guy.

"But it should be fixed soon. You can borrow it when it's back."

Xiao Ruoxi was immediately fully recovered.

"Really? That's amazing! I'm going home to get my equipment right now!"

She stood up abruptly, then turned back to give him some instructions.

"Wait for me! Don't run away!"

Watching Xiao Ruoxi run out of the breakfast shop like a happy little deer, Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, then asked the owner for a takeaway bowl of congee.

Pushing open the door to Su Yue's house, Qin Luo saw Su Yue, dressed in pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, staring intently at the laptop screen.

Her hair was messy, she had obviously just gotten up.

"It's gone up! It's gone up again!"

Su Yue excitedly waved her fist, and when she looked up and saw Qin Luo, she immediately jumped off the sofa and rushed over.

"Qin Luo! You're amazing!"

Qin Luo handed her the congee.

"What's making you so excited?"

"The stock you gave me last week!"

Su Yue gestured excitedly at the screen.

"It's gone up 27% in three days! My investment of 100,000 is now... let me calculate."

"127,000."

Qin Luo casually recited a number.

Su Yue's eyes widened.

"how do you know?"

"Good at math."

Qin Luo took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Judging from your appearance, you've made quite a bit of money?"

"It's more than just a lot!"

Su Yue leaned closer, her eyes sparkling.

"I never thought money could come so easily! Qin Luo, tell me honestly, do you know Buffett? Or do you have some inside information?"

Qin Luo smiled but did not answer.

The financial forecasting function provided by the system is more reliable than any insider information.

Su Yue suddenly clasped her hands together, making a pleading gesture.

"Master Qin, could you give me another stock?"

"A miser".

Qin Luo joked.

"Hey!"

Su Yue puffed out her cheeks.

"Does being a teacher mean you don't need to eat? Besides..."

Her voice lowered.

"My parents cut off my allowance."

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.

"why?"

"They want to force me to go home."

Su Yue pouted.

"Why should a girl be a teacher outside? She should go home and take over the family business."

Qin Luo then remembered that Su Yue's family did seem to have some connections.

He had always thought she was just an ordinary teacher.

"Please~" Su Yue grabbed Qin Luo's arm and shook it, blinking her big eyes.

"Give me another stock pick, and I'll give you a massage? Didn't you say my technique was pretty good last time?"

Qin Luo was amused by her.

"Okay, I'll give you the code tonight."

"yeah!"

Su Yue cheered, then suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, your bowl of porridge."

"For you."

Qin Luo stood up.

"I'm going downstairs to wait for a friend."

"Xiao Ruoxi?"

Su Yue asked astutely, and seeing Qin Luo nod, she gave a meaningful "Oh".

No wonder you're dressed so smartly.

Qin Luo was too lazy to explain, waved his hand and left.

Downstairs in the residential complex, Qin Luo stood by the flower bed waiting for Xiao Ruoxi.

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. He was pondering whether or not to tell Xiao Ruoxi that he was the "elder brother" she was talking about when a familiar engine roar suddenly came from afar.

Qin Luo frowned and looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting. A silver-gray Koenigsegg slowly drove up, its metallic sheen gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

His car.

The problem is, this car should still be under repair at the 4S dealership.

The Koenigsegg came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the residential area. The passenger door opened, and a pair of long, beautiful legs in ten-centimeter high heels stepped out.

She was a young girl dressed in revealing clothes, her tight short skirt accentuating her hot figure, and her big wavy hair swaying gently with her movements.

The driver's side door opened, and a young man dressed in designer casual wear got out of the car with a blatantly smug look on his face.

"Darling, thank you for bringing me here~" the beautiful woman said in a sweet, coquettish voice, and suddenly hugged the young man's neck in public and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.

Remember to pick me up tonight!

The young man looked around smugly, basking in the envious glances from passersby.

"No problem, I'll be there at six o'clock sharp."

Qin Luo's eyes turned completely cold.

This isn't a 4S shop repairing and returning the car; someone is using it to show off.

Qin Luo stood on the street corner, squinting at the familiar Koenigsegg not far away.

Sunlight danced on the silver-gray car body, reflecting a dazzling light.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the phone screen, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Strange, how did my car get here?"

He muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the crew-cut young man in the driver's seat.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a tight-fitting T-shirt and a thick gold chain around his neck, and was fixing his hair in front of the rearview mirror.

Qin Luo took out his phone and dialed Situ Rui's number.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and heavy breathing and a woman's seductive moans came through the receiver.

"Hey Qin. Young Master Qin"

Situ Rui's voice was intermittent, clearly indicating that he was busy.

"excuse me."

Qin Luo's lips twitched.

"I just want to ask about my Koenigsegg."

"What kind of car?"

Situ Rui's voice suddenly rose.

"I don't have time to worry about cars right now! Huh! Be gentle!"

Qin Luo promptly hung up the phone.

Although Situ Rui loves to play, he would never touch his car without his permission.

He put away his phone and strode toward Koenigsegg.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Luo noticed that the fine scratches left by tree branches on the car body had disappeared, and the entire car was as clean as new.

The young man with the buzz cut was leaning against the car door, a cigarette between his fingers, taking a selfie with his phone in the other.

"Dude, is this your car?"

Qin Luo stood two meters away, hands in his pockets, and asked.

The crew-cut youth glanced at him sideways and exhaled a smoke ring.

"What's it to you? Don't get too close, you can't afford to pay for the scratches."

Qin Luo almost burst out laughing.

He walked around the car, his fingers lightly tracing the hood.

"There was a scratch here last week, but it's been repaired quite well now."

The young man's expression visibly stiffened for a moment, then he quickly regained his arrogant demeanor.

"I spent a lot of money to completely refurbish the car, so of course I want it to be perfect."

He flicked his cigarette ash. (End of Chapter)
