No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Then a woman appeared on screen, performing a pole dance.

Jiang Shu remained silent.

What went wrong?

Is it being opened incorrectly?

The woman's alluring figure in the picture was quite captivating, but Jiang Shu had no interest in appreciating it at the moment.

Or rather, if Sebastian weren't there, it wouldn't be a problem to take a look, but since I just said it was study material, the situation is a bit awkward now.

Jiang Shu looked at Sebastian, who was also staring at him with a meaningful expression.

"Young Master really has a wide range of interests."

Oh no, he seems to think I want to learn this.

"It seems my phone has a virus," Jiang Shu explained expressionlessly. "It's probably because I scanned that code to activate my membership just now."

“Oh, I see.” Sebastian’s eyes cleared up a lot. “That’s certainly possible. I’ve heard a lot of stories lately about people getting viruses on their phones because of scanning random QR codes. After all, phones are so important these days, with so much personal information, so they’ve become a hotspot. Luckily, I downloaded 360 Degrees Mobile Manager.”

idiot!

Wouldn't that make it easier to get infected with the virus?!

But thankfully, he believed it.

Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time secretly harbored resentment towards Shaqima.

This guy actually smuggled in his own agenda!

It's possible that he meant well, thinking that watching so many game recordings would be tiring, so he included this bonus video to help himself relax.

But since it almost ruined my reputation, I must have a serious talk with him next time we meet.

Ultimately, this is nothing more than a low-level hobby. If possible, you should advise him to give it up.

Just then, cheers erupted on screen.

Jiang Shu looked closely and saw that the pole dancer had started to take on multiple jobs, including working part-time as a stripper.

Sebastian's eyes darted around, too embarrassed to know where to look.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu finally remembered to turn off the video. Then, with an awkward laugh, he opened another one and explained, "This one should be normal. I didn't have time to finish what I was saying. Actually, this is a recording of the competition."

"Oh, I see." Sebastian nodded, looking back at the screen expectantly.

Then this time, the pole dancer from before appeared directly on screen.

But the scene wasn't on the dance floor anymore, but in a hotel room.

The dancer, wrapped in a bath towel, spoke in a soft, sweet voice, close to the camera, saying in a sticky, cloying tone, "You've been taking pictures all this time, why are you shy about letting me take pictures now?"

Sebastian asked in bewilderment, "Why does the virus seem like a short drama these days?"

Before Jiang Shu could even think of a reply, he heard his own voice coming from the screen.

"I'm still a university student..."

"Oh? So confident? Let me see just how old this student really is~"

Sebastian: "..."

Jiang Shu: "It's ai."

Sebastian: "Oh, I see..."

But it seems he didn't choose to believe this time.

Jiang Shu silently lowered his head, staring at the file named "Ultimate Arena" on his phone without saying a word.

Perhaps... is it possible that this isn't the final scene I was thinking of...?

Realizing this, he finally remembered to carefully check the dates of all the video files in the folder, only to discover that they were all videos from five or six years ago.

Then he remembered that there was a nightclub he used to frequent during his college years that would escalate its activities after 2 a.m., hence the name "Ultimate Session".

Damn it, we've been tricked by the competition and the nightclub!

This is a belated honey trap!

So Jiang Shu hurriedly turned off the video, because if he didn't, he would turn into a ladybug.

In the "Recently Added" section, Jiang Shu finally found the genuine Sachima product that had been sent.

Videos of the top ten matches.

He quickly opened a video with the keyword "Grand Empress Dowager" and breathed a sigh of relief.

“The virus is so rampant now; it can even read my voice and use AI to synthesize videos in real time,” Jiang Shu said to Sebastian with a smile.

There was no response from the other party.

Jiang Shu silently turned her head away.

after awhile.

Jiang Shu asked, "Can it be kept secret?"

“Hmm.” Sebastian nodded.

Jiang Shu felt relieved.

Even if he died, at least he only died in front of Sebastian. Because of the existence of "sacrifice," and since he had been assured of that, he wasn't too worried about him telling anyone.

“Um…” Sebastian hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.

"what?"

Is it TS?

"what?"

"Is that TS or CD?"

"WTF?"

"The one in the video, the one doing pole dancing."

“Can’t she just be normal…” Jiang Shu suddenly stopped.

and many more...

Thinking back, I was a freshman in college at the time and had no experience. When the ambient lights were on, I couldn't see anything clearly and relied entirely on the other person's guidance. It seemed that I really couldn't be sure if I was on the right path.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "I...I don't know..."

Upon hearing this, Sebastian gave an "I knew it" look, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"No, it's nothing," Jiang Shu replied absentmindedly. "In fact, you reminded me..."

"Let's watch the game."

Who could possibly be interested in that at a time like this?

Jiang Shu was in a state of agitation at this moment.

All he wanted to do right now was figure out whether it was an older sister or an older brother.

In a daze, he caught a glimpse of the "Grand Empress Dowager" on the screen.

Then suddenly I froze, my previously restless heart abruptly stopping.

That was a true stop, like being submerged in icy water, the whole world becoming incredibly quiet, or rather, deathly still.

Because he knew that person very well.

Even though they hadn't met many times, through a certain "loser," Jiang Shu had already completely learned everything about her—her hobbies, zodiac sign, upbringing, and even her menstrual cycle.

She was Jiang Shu's college classmate, and also the bad woman in Jiang Shu's eyes, who had dumped Jiang Shu's missing best friend countless times during their college years.

Chapter 313 Clues and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Fate is indeed a very mysterious thing.

Jiang Shu and her missing friend Liang Chengji didn't get along very well at first. At least Jiang Shu didn't like him. However, because they shared a dormitory room and were even bunk beds, Jiang Shu didn't show it on the surface.

The reason Jiang Shu disliked him was not because of any conflict, or because he had any character flaws or bad habits, but rather because he and Jiang Shu had never had any conflicts or disagreements.

As a boy, he seemed to have a bit too little temper. No matter who he was dealing with, he always greeted them with a smile, was polite to his classmates and respectful to his teachers, making everyone happy when they were with him. Almost no one said a bad word about him.

But it was precisely this point that made Jiang Shu feel it was best not to get too close to him back then.

It would be a terrifying thing if someone could avoid all of everyone's triggers in interpersonal interactions and make everyone feel comfortable around them.

This precisely demonstrates that he clearly knows how to make someone unhappy, and he simply made a different choice. It's like the old saying goes: you don't show discrimination just because you know what discrimination is, and that in itself is a form of discrimination.

This made Jiang Shu feel that he was pretentious and gave people a very manipulative impression.

So for almost the entire freshman year, Jiang Shu deliberately kept her distance from him.

Jiang Shu wasn't sure if the other person had sensed his distance, but he felt that they probably had, yet the other person still frequently tried to interact with him.

In order to get through the four years of university smoothly, Jiang Shu did not show too much resistance, but always maintained a certain sense of boundaries.

The turning point came in the following year.

One evening, the other person returned to the dormitory excitedly and announced some good news to the other five people in the dormitory, including Jiang Shu—

He has a girlfriend.

Others offered him their warmest congratulations.

Although it's a rather masculine form of congratulations, such as greeting his elders, inquiring whether the other person still has close female friends, or threatening to ruin their relationship if he treats them to a meal.

Jiang Shu appeared to be the same on the surface, and the atmosphere in the dormitory seemed harmonious and pleasant.

Although he made a lot of noise about it, no one actually thought he shouldn't have gotten a girlfriend before everyone else. On the contrary, they thought the news came a little too late.

Someone with such good looks and a great personality should have had girls liking him long ago.

They didn't find girlfriends until their sophomore year of college. In their hearts, they felt a little sorry for their good friend. They thought that the girls were too ungrateful and didn't know how to take the initiative.

Of course, Jiang Shu is an exception.

That's exactly what he thought.

Although I was a freshman in college, I went to nightclubs and drank heavily. After leaving my hometown for the first time in my life, I began to indulge in fun and did many things that I never dared to dream of before, but I am still a good boy.

Why is a good guy like me worse than a scheming green tea bitch?

So for a while afterward, Jiang Shu was a bit depressed and continued to go to nightclubs and drink heavily.

But soon, news arrived that was bad news for his roommates but good news for Jiang Shu.

Liang Chengji is heartbroken.

The other four people in the dormitory comforted him all night, and Jiang Shu also lay in bed listening all night.

Jiang Shu slept exceptionally well that night.

I thought this matter was over and done with. After all, loss is a normal part of life, and a college life without experiencing heartbreak is incomplete. This is nothing.

But soon, the two got back together.

This made the four people who had attacked the girl together in the dormitory feel a little awkward. Although Liang Chengji didn't care much, they learned their lesson this time and intentionally or unintentionally avoided mentioning the past.

Jiang Shu couldn't sleep again.

Fortunately, he broke up with his girlfriend a few days later.

But Jiang Shu had only had a few good nights of sleep when they got back together.

After a few times, Jiang Shu sensed that something was wrong.

Because every time he broke up with someone, the dorm would hold a meeting that night to comfort him, Jiang Shu knew the details very well.

Although their constant back-and-forth makes it uncertain whether they will get back together, and whether this seemingly heartbroken man will repeat the same mistakes, their words are no longer as sharp as before, but rather more and more bland, until finally they have become accustomed to it, asking "What's the reason this time?" is as commonplace as asking "What did you eat tonight?"

However, Jiang Shu knew very well the reason for each breakup.

Even from a biased perspective regarding Liang Chengji, Jiang Shu would find it difficult to honestly admit that those things were Liang Chengji's fault.

In his view, every time it was the woman who was being unreasonable, and then Liang Chengji was dumped unilaterally. Not long after, the woman would calm down, give him a perfunctory apology, and then the two of them would make up as if nothing had happened, and start preparing for the next breakup.

Even though Liang Chengji was actually very wronged during this process, he would only smile and forgive the other party, which meant that he was tricked again and again, each time in a different way.

This made him have a doubt for the first time.
