Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Ok?
Sun Jialin's words left Lin Shen speechless, and his expression became extremely strange.

I randomly picked a seat, and it turned out that the person next to me was Qingqing's roommate?

The campus of Shanghai International Studies University is so small!

However, Qingqing's roommate is quite good-looking.

Is this the effect of beautiful women clustering together?
Lin Shen thought back to his college days, when the school beauty, the department beauty, and a group of other beauties lived in the same dormitory.

They travel together every day, making them a beautiful sight on campus.

"You know Gu Wanqing?"

Sun Jialin asked in surprise, and Lin Shen had no choice but to answer truthfully according to the identity he had discussed with Jiang Wan.

"Yes, I am her brother."

"elder brother?"

Sun Jialin blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, her expression showing a hint of surprise.

When did Gu Wanqing get such a handsome older brother?
Why didn't you say so sooner!
"that……"

Sun Jialin originally wanted to ask Lin Shen a few more questions, but her roommate suddenly nudged her shoulder.

"Linlin, what's wrong? Do you know the person next to you?"

"Tsk!"

Sun Jialin, who was interrupted while talking to Lin Shen, clicked her tongue lightly, clearly displeased, but still patiently introduced the two parties.

"These two are my and Qingqing's roommates, Zhou Min and Wang Meng, both freshmen in the English Department."

"This is Qingqing's brother, uh..."

Sun Jialin then realized that she hadn't asked Lin Shen's name yet, so she looked at him expectantly.

"May I ask your name?"

"The forest is deep."

Lin Shen smiled and shook hands with Gu Wanqing's roommates.

"Hello, thank you for taking care of my sister."

"Hello!"

Perhaps it was because Lin Shen's handsome appearance was too supermodel-like that Zhou Min and Wang Meng were clearly a little nervous when they shook hands with him.

Sun Jialin adapted quickly and started chatting casually after the conversation started.

"Did you come here specifically to see Qingqing's performance?"

"Ah."

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"I heard she has a solo performance, but I've never actually heard this girl sing formally before, so I thought I'd come and see for myself."

"Then how did you get in?"

Sun Jialin found it strange.

"People from other schools shouldn't be able to get in, right?"

"By using connections."

Lin Shen gestured for Sun Jialin to be quiet again, then said half-jokingly.

"Please don't call security to kick me out."

"How could I do that? You're Qingqing's brother."

Sun Jialin quickly waved her hand, and this unusual behavior left her two roommates stunned.

When did Linlin become so friendly to strangers?

Although they had only spent half a month with Sun Jialin, Zhou Min and Wang Meng had already figured out her personality.

Cold and dashing.

He prefers to wear headphones and act alone, often distancing himself from the group.

She's a very individualistic girl.

Moreover, she is beautiful, tall, and has a very fashionable sense of style.

She doesn't look like a naive and clueless freshman; she looks more like a senior who has been on campus for many years.

Although she was slightly inferior to Gu Wanqing in all aspects, she was still a well-known beauty in the English department.

Therefore, their dormitory, 502, won first place with an overwhelming number of votes when it came to selecting the "most beautiful dormitory".

So much so that many people wanted to get close to her.

Too many people are pursuing Gu Wanqing, so it's understandable that I can't win her over. But surely I can win over Sun Jialin, right?
But clearly, this idea is completely wrong.

Sun Jialin's aloof personality made her even harder to pursue than Gu Wanqing; no one had ever seen her show a kind look to men.

That's why Zhou Min and Wang Meng were so surprised at this moment.

They noticed that Sun Jialin, who was chatting with Lin Shen, not only became more talkative, but would also smile from time to time, with a variety of facial expressions and extremely gentle expressions!
This made Zhou Min and Wang Meng realize something.

What aloofness!
How cold-blooded!
It's just that I haven't met anyone I like at school!

Look at you now, when you meet a handsome guy like Lin Shen, you can't wait to tell him everything about yourself!

This person is such a sucker for looks!
……

"So you're twenty-five! I thought you were only twenty."

Are you saying I'm childish?

"No, no! I was just complimenting you on how young you are."

Just as Lin Shen and Sun Jialin's conversation was getting more and more lively, the lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, which served as a way to cool things down between them.

The performance officially began at 7 p.m. sharp.

First, the host introduces the program and the leaders and teachers present.

This included Jiang Wan, a representative of the counselors.

After she stood up to greet them, the students erupted in cheers and applause that were even more enthusiastic than those for the other teachers.

Clearly, Jiang Wan's status in the students' hearts has reached an unparalleled level.

As expected, the charm of a gentle older sister is much higher.

Lin Shen smiled knowingly.

After the host introduced the guests, a speech was given by a teacher representative.

After a series of empty and pretentious pleasantries, the appearance of the freshman representative caught Lin Shen's eye.

"Let's welcome Gu Wanqing, a student representative from Class 2 of the English Department at Shanghai International Studies University, to the stage to give a speech."

Bang bang bang——!
As soon as the host finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, even more enthusiastic than when Jiang Wan had stood up.

It was as if whoever clapped the loudest had a chance of winning Gu Wanqing's heart.

After all, everyone knows that.

Jiang Wan is definitely out of the question, but Gu Wanqing might have a chance!
Hearing the loud cheers from below the stage, Gu Wanqing, who was standing at the edge of the stage and preparing to go on stage, was obviously a little nervous.

After all, she had never done such a thing before, nor did she like to show her face in such important occasions.

Speaking as a representative of the new students can be seen as her courageous attempt to embark on her university life.

Because Gu Wanqing remembered what Lin Shen had told her:

"Everyone is the protagonist of their own life. Feel free to show yourself. Years later, these so-called 'shame' will become unforgettable experiences."

"call--"

Gu Wanqing took a deep breath, patting her heaving chest, and after adjusting her mindset, she smiled and bravely took her first step onto the stage, waving to the audience as she approached the podium.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Wanqing from Class 2 of the English Department. I'm very happy to stand here as a representative of the new students and share my joy of starting school with you all..."

Gu Wanqing wore a white dress that perfectly suited her temperament today.

The square neckline reveals the graceful lines of the neck, while the short sleeves fit snugly against the arms. The irregular lace ruffles add a touch of lightness and elegance.

Pairing it with off-white platform sneakers and matching mid-calf socks creates a sweet and charming overall look.

Coupled with her long, flowing, black hair, she perfectly embodies the image of a boy's ideal first love.

Gu Wanqing's face, in particular, was so beautiful and delicate that it was too authoritative, causing many boys in the audience to stare intently at her face instead of listening to what she was saying.

This includes Lin Shen.

"Qingqing is so pretty."

Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh, and Sun Jialin, who was standing next to him, quickly echoed his sentiment.

"Yes, many people at school like Qingqing."

Sun Jialin's words contained no trace of jealousy or envy, because the facts were undeniable and could not be changed. Gu Wanqing's popularity was a fact acknowledged throughout the school, even reaching the ears of the school leaders, which was why she was chosen as the freshman representative to speak this year.

After all, this opportunity is usually reserved for top students who score high on the college entrance exam.

Now Gu Wanqing has taken it away, and I wonder if it will arouse jealousy in others.

Lin Shen felt worried, and immediately put on the act of an older brother, crossing his arms and speaking in a deep voice.

"Anyway, I won't let Qingqing date during college. If she does, the other person has to be better than me."

?

Upon hearing Lin Shen's words, Sun Jialin's expression froze slightly, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

He really is a siscon...

It's said that guys who are obsessed with their sisters usually spoil them a lot. I wonder if that's true?
Sun Jialin continued the conversation with a curious question.

"How do I qualify as being better than you?"

"In all aspects."

Lin Shen calmly counted on his fingers.

"First of all, you have to be more handsome than me, otherwise you're not good enough for Qingqing."

very good!

This requirement alone immediately dashed the hopes of 99% of the male students at Shanghai International Studies University who wanted to pursue Gu Wanqing.

Sun Jialin muttered to herself.

She wandered around the school during this time and encountered quite a few boys.

Let alone being half as handsome as Lin Shen, very few people can even match 30% of his looks.

He was truly determined not to let Gu Wanqing date in college...

"Secondly, you have to be richer than me, otherwise I'll spoil Qingqing instead."

rich?

Where do college students get the money?

Unless you come from an exceptionally wealthy family.

Is Lin Shen very rich?

Sun Jialin was full of curiosity about him, and her questions were always direct and straightforward.

"Are you rich?"

"so so."

Lin Shen took out his car keys from his pocket and turned them around.

Does owning a Mercedes mean you're rich?

"Four or five hundred thousand, that shouldn't be considered much."

Sun Jialin felt that Lin Shen was in control of their casual conversations, acting like a superior.

This made her, who was always aloof, feel a little awkward.

We need to teach him a lesson!

So Sun Jialin didn't show any surprise. Even for a young man like Lin Shen in his twenties, being able to drive a Mercedes worth four or five hundred thousand yuan was already considered quite successful.

But she remained calm.

"After all, you've been out of school for so long, it's normal."

"This isn't a Mercedes that costs four or five hundred thousand."

Lin Shen's lips curled slightly.

"This is a Maybach worth over four million."

what?
Lin Shen's boastful words surprised Sun Jialin, who covered her mouth with one hand, finding it hard to believe.

He actually drives a Maybach worth over four million?

So young, yet so rich?
Sun Jialin was a little stunned, after all, it was ten times more expensive than she had imagined!

"This should count as a small amount of money, right?"

Seeing Sun Jialin nodding repeatedly, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally managed to pull off the act.

The reason Lin Shen changed his usual low profile and acted arrogantly in front of Sun Jialin, a girl who hadn't even grown up yet, was simply to establish his unapproachable personality.

If this gets out, when people talk about Gu Wanqing, they will first think of her having a particularly arrogant and domineering brother.

In that case, the number of people pursuing her might decrease significantly!

The price is that your reputation might be ruined... but so what?
I'm not from Shanghai International Studies University.

Lin Shen muttered to himself, then continued to add.

"Of course, you don't have to have money, but you have to have the ability. At least you have to be a top student who can win national awards."

"Your requirements are too demanding."

Sun Jialin complained, her tone much softer than before, even slightly sullen.

This was something Lin Shen hadn't expected.

He thought his deliberate pretentiousness would annoy Sun Jialin, but it seems to have attracted her even more.

Is this the allure of Maybach?
Lin Shen couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

All character flaws will transform into rich personality in the face of money.

"With your requirements, Qingqing probably won't be able to have a relationship during her university years."

Sun Jialin felt that Lin Shen was too domineering, but she didn't dislike his personality; in fact, she felt that he should be like that.

After all, being able to drive a car worth over four million yuan in your twenties is something that even an ordinary person without personality wouldn't be able to achieve.

Capable people are usually different from others.

Therefore, Sun Jialin became increasingly curious about Lin Shen, and even harbored a faint sense of admiration for him.

"What do you do to earn so much money?"

"Start a business and open a company."

Lin Shen felt that as Gu Wanqing's "brother," it was necessary for him to give her face at school and become her support so that she wouldn't be bullied on a daily basis.

So Lin Shen exaggerated everything, portraying himself as a promising young success, which made Sun Jialin's beautiful eyes sparkle.

She didn't even bother watching the performance on stage, and kept chatting with Lin Shen, curious about his life experiences.

However, the sound of the speakers was too loud, and the loud noise could easily disturb the people around.

So Sun Jialin had no choice but to huddle together with Lin Shen and whisper to each other.

In the dim light, she could feel his warm breath coming from her ear from time to time.

In addition, Lin Shen's voice is deep and magnetic, which is very masculine.

In such close proximity, the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.

Sun Jialin's heart raced, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Perhaps the air conditioning in the auditorium wasn't turned up high enough.

Sun Jialin fanned her face, but her eyes remained fixed on Lin Shen beside her, thinking that his profile looked more and more handsome under the light.

To be honest, she was somewhat tempted.

The kind of love at first sight.

Sun Jialin was already in the throes of first love during her adolescence, and on top of that, she met such a perfect male god as Lin Shen. It would be hard for most people to resist such a serendipitous encounter.

However, Lin Shen didn't seem interested in her at all; instead, he was completely focused on the performance on stage.

This made Sun Jialin slightly unhappy.

Am I not as pretty as those girls on stage?
Sun Jialin became restless and tried to attract Lin Shen's attention through various small actions.

For example, you could tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, or switch the position of your crossed legs.

Seeing this, Lin Shen asked with concern.

Are you a little cold?

cold?
Sun Jialin was slightly stunned. Before she could react, Lin Shen suddenly took off his plaid shirt, carefully folded it, and considerately covered her fair and smooth thighs with it.

"Thanks……"

Sun Jialin was somewhat flattered and was about to express her gratitude when she suddenly found herself speechless.

After Lin Shen covered her legs with the clothes, his hands seemed to have found their home and never took them away again. (End of Chapter)
