"Is your computer broken? Do you want to take it to the computer mall to get it fixed?" Su Xiyan asked, "For professional matters, it's better to let professionals handle it."
Chen Shuo refused, "No need, it's simple."
"Don't look down on people, okay? I knew how to assemble and disassemble computers when I was in high school."
Su Xiyan's eyebrows raised slightly, "Oh? How many more skills do you have that I don't know about?"
Chen Shuo pretended to be mysterious, speaking half seriously and half jokingly, "You don't know about the many skills and talents I have."
"I'm a treasure boy. It just depends on how you can uncover my potential."
Su Xiyan was amused but didn't laugh out loud. From an angle Chen Shuo couldn't see, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Chen Shuo put down the screwdriver in his hand and stood up, still holding a large graphics card.
"Finally got it off."
Su Xiyan asked, "Why did you take off the graphics card?"
Chen Shuo said, "This graphics card wasn't originally mine to begin with."
Su Xiyan said, "Didn't you say your roommate gave it to you as a favor?"
Speaking of this, Chen Shuo was inexplicably a little angry, angry at himself.
"I didn't help my roommate out, and I don't plan on helping anymore either. It doesn't feel right to keep someone else's things without doing anything for them."
Su Xiyan didn't ask further and just watched quietly as Chen Shuo repackaged the graphics card.
Nowadays, the prices of graphics cards have been inflated. And this was a newly released graphics card, so the price must be quite expensive.
After Chen Shuo finished packaging the graphics card, he also took out a USB drive and game controller from the drawer and found a bag to put them in together.
"Hungry, right? Let's eat!"
The food was already prepared and being kept warm in the kitchen.
Chen Shuo brought out the food and set it on the table. He and Su Xiyan sat at the table and started eating.
While eating, Chen Shuo suddenly asked, "Let me ask you something. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."
"I'm just curious, don't take it to heart."
"Nevermind, I won't ask."
Su Xiyan: "..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Hesitating like that, what kind of man are you?"
Chen Shuo put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Hey, you're the one who told me to ask!"
"Do you...have someone you like?"
Su Xiyan's hand that was picking up food paused briefly, then resumed normally. "No."
Chen Shuo continued asking, "Then...what kind of guy do you like?"
Su Xiyan was poised. While slowly drinking soup, she asked back, "Did you want to ask this yourself?"
Chen Shuo was actually a little nervous. "Just curious."
Su Xiyan glanced at Chen Shuo with her beautiful eyes and answered, "Girls are born liking boys stronger than themselves. Girls admire strength, you wouldn't understand."
Chen Shuo squinted and intentionally said, "What a coincidence! I also like girls stronger than me."
Su Xiyan's upper body instinctively shrank back a little. Her expression was complex. "Didn't expect you to be a masochist too?"
Now Chen Shuo was even more interested. "As expected of a senior! You know so much!!"
"Senior, senior! I'm a hardworking, curious, and good junior. Can you tell this junior what a masochist means?"
This guy! Deserves a beating!!
Under the table, Su Xiyan lifted her leg and kicked Chen Shuo's leg fiercely.
Chen Shuo's face contorted in pain before he finally shut his mouth obediently.
After eating, Su Xiyan started reading books and doing practice questions.
In all of Nanli University, only Chen Shuo knew that not only was Su Xiyan a third-year student, she also held important positions in several school clubs. Most importantly, she was also a top-tier demon hunter in Su City.
Without others knowing, Su Xiyan still had to hunt vampires.
Even with such a busy schedule, Su Xiyan's grades had always been at the top of her class. She was only in her third year but already had several companies wanting to sign her. However, she had rejected them all.
Such an outstanding and disciplined girl was like a dazzling gem no matter where she went.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Chen Shuo picked up the bag and got ready to head out.
While changing his shoes, he asked Su Xiyan, "Any fruit you want to eat? We're running low on fruit at home. I'll go to the fruit stand by the school gate. The fruit there is fresh and cheap."
Su Xiyan sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at her tablet and doing practice questions without even lifting her head. "You decide what to buy!"
"It's late to be going out just to return things to your roommates, isn't it?"
Chen Shuo murmured in agreement. "Mm, I have to return them tonight. Otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
"Won't say more about this to you. There are differences between men and women, things between men that you wouldn't understand."
"If we didn't need to continue the family line, I think men would definitely prefer hanging out with other men."
He had just finished speaking when a pillow came flying from Su Xiyan, hitting Chen Shuo on the head. She gave Chen Shuo three words: "Deserved loneliness!"
Along with the pillow came the car keys.
Chen Shuo picked up the car keys. "Take your car?"
Su Xiyan scoffed coldly. "It'll be too late and you won't be able to get a car. Rather than bother me to come pick you up, just take the car yourself round trip."
"What are you still doing here? Go quickly and come back quickly. If you come back too late and disturb my rest, you know the consequences."
Chen Shuo hurried downstairs.
This was the first time he drove Su Xiyan's car to school alone. The roar of the AMG made him the coolest guy on the street.
Chen Shuo sent an early message to his roommates in their dorm group chat. By the time he arrived at the school gate, his three roommates were already waiting for him.
Chen Shuo handed each of his roommates a bag. "Here, back to the original owners!"
Lu Chen, Zhu Fei, and Shen Xu opened the bags and saw - "Aren't these the things we originally gave you?"
"Why did you bring them back?"
"Calling us out so late at night, don't tell me it was just to return these things to us?"
"What do you mean by this, Chen Shuo? Planning to cut ties?"
Chen Shuo waved his hands again and again. "That's not what I meant. I just feel that since I didn't complete the task you gave me, I don't have the right to keep your things."
Zhu Fei's chubby face morphed into question marks. "What's going on? Weren't you going to ask the campus belle what kind of guy she likes?"
Lu Chen patted Chen Shuo on the shoulder. "No big deal! You didn't ask this time, but you can still ask next time!"
Chen Shuo's eyes were deep. "Who knows what'll happen in the future! Anyway, since I didn't get an answer, I'm returning your things. This task is too difficult. I don't think I can complete it."
Shen Xu shoved the bag back into Chen Shuo's hands. "It doesn't matter if you didn't get an answer. No merit is still effort. We're good brothers, why be so polite?"
Chen Shuo pulled his hands back. "It's getting late. I'll go buy some fruit. Let me treat you guys, anything you want to eat?"
The three roommates looked at each other, feeling like something was off with Chen Shuo today but unable to pinpoint what.
The four of them headed to the fruit stand diagonally across from the school gate together.
After buying the fruit, Chen Shuo put the large bag of fruit in the trunk of the AMG parked on the side of the road.
His three roommates' mouths formed O's. "Fuck, isn't this the campus belle Su's car?!"
"Chen Shuo, you're awesome, driving the campus belle Su's car already!"
"Bro, don't tell me you've fallen for the campus belle Su yourself, and that's why you didn't help us find out about the campus belle Su??"
