The howling and wailing in the hallway went on for a long time, mixed with the annoyed yelling and half-hearted attempts at calming from other dorms' guys.
"It's just a breakup, seriously?"
"Bro, there are plenty of fish in the sea!"
"Do you guys want anyone to study or not?!"
"You study types, shut up!"
The two gossip vanguards, Zhu Dawei and Wang Hao, came rushing back with first-hand intel, their faces bursting with uncontainable excitement.
"Holy crap! Big news! Absolute bombshell!" Zhu Dawei shouted the moment he walked in.
"That Zhang Bin got dumped by his goddess!" Wang Hao chimed in, grinning with schadenfreude. "Apparently, it was their first date today, and he didn't even hold her hand!"
"Oh? That bad?" Lin Feng put down his phone, feigning surprise.
"Worse than bad!" Zhu Dawei plopped into a chair and launched into a vivid recount.
"When we got there, he was clinging to his dorm leader's leg, bawling his eyes out, snot and tears everywhere. Said his goddess texted him, told him they weren't compatible, then blocked him! Calls went straight to voicemail!"
Lin Feng listened, secretly impressed.
Su Qingwen really had some serious execution skills.
Tell her to cut ties, and she did it clean, no buffer, no excuses.
Bzzz. His phone vibrated again. Message from Su Qingwen: [Done.]
Lin Feng smirked and tapped out: [Heard. That screaming could be heard across the whole building!]
Su Qingwen instantly replied: [Pfft, you can't have deep feelings for someone you've known for less than a week. Total drama. Lucky I listened to you and stopped talking to him, or he'd have spiraled. Guys like that are just… [speechless]]
Before Lin Feng could reply, she sent another: [Oh, and here's Tang Tang's WeChat. You're a guy, make the first move and add her!]
Right after, a username was sent over.
Then, like she was showing off a treasure, she bombarded him with several photos of her and her roommates out having fun.
In the pictures, Su Qingwen was as gorgeous as ever, wearing cute dresses and smiling sweetly.
But when Lin Feng's gaze landed on the girl beside her, his breath caught.
That had to be Tang Tang.
She was even taller than Su Qingwen, with long black hair cascading like a waterfall, skin so fair it practically glowed.
Her features were flawless — almond-shaped eyes, clear and bright, carrying a detached coolness untouched by the mundane world. High nose bridge, full lips; when not smiling, she exuded distance, but the rare candid smile captured in a photo was like ice thawing, stunning beyond words.
If Su Qingwen was the kind of beauty that hits you with instant sweetness and purity, Tang Tang was the untouchable, peerless kind — the kind you admire from afar.
Standing next to her, even meticulously dressed Su Qingwen instantly paled, reduced to a backdrop.
What caught Lin Feng's attention even more was that, judging from Tang Tang's clothes and bag in the photos, though they lacked obvious luxury logos, both texture and cut screamed understated opulence — clearly from a very well-off family.
One photo showed Tang Tang seated at a grand piano in an upscale Western restaurant, slender fingers poised over the keys. The soft lighting sculpted her profile with elegance, her whole presence radiating an artsy refinement nurtured since childhood.
[Oh, and don't mention knowing me when you add her.] Su Qingwen added.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow: [Huh? Then how do I add her? Will she even accept?]
[Pfft, of course you can. Think of something!] came her playful emoji.
[Anyway, I'm handing you the opportunity. This beauty has never dated. Rich second-gen guys in sports cars chased her, and she coldly turned them all down. Her family runs a small company. A white‑rich beauty like this — if you don't lock her down in college, after graduation, good luck getting anywhere near her!]
Su Qingwen wasn't wrong.
College is basically a giant beginner zone — competition's mainly fellow students from freshman to senior year.
Once you enter society, the crowd gets messy: rich, capable, handsome, smooth-talking, schemers, even pros who live off women… temptations grow way bigger than in college.
A beauty like Tang Tang — especially one virtuous and well‑off — is always the rarest prize for any guy.
[Got it.] Lin Feng frowned and replied.
He'd thought Su Qingwen was handing him a gift, but turns out she'd thrown him a challenge.
This Tang Tang didn't seem like someone easily swayed by desire or money like Su Qingwen.
Oh well, he'd try adding her first!
Lin Feng copied the username, searched in WeChat, and soon a black-and-white piano key avatar popped up, with the nickname "Tangtang."
Focusing on the avatar, a line of info visible only to him appeared:
[Tang Tang – Corruption Value: -20. Corruption Weakness: Reputation, chastity, dislikes men who use wealth/status to attract girls.]
Negative 20 Corruption Value?
That meant not only was she not corrupted, but she also had extremely high morals and self-discipline.
And her weakness was reputation…
Meaning she cared deeply about her name and purity?
Lin Feng's eyes lit up — he'd hit on a brilliant approach.
That photo Su Qingwen had unintentionally snapped earlier, the one where Tang Tang's bare back and half a breast — including a cute nipple — were visible!
If he used that as leverage, she'd find it hard to refuse, right?
Of course, Lin Feng knew one photo wasn't enough to fully take down a girl of this caliber.
You eat an elephant one bite at a time, and you stroke a guy… one pump at a time!
With that, he hit "Add Friend" and wrote in the request: [You dropped something, I picked it up!]
A short while later, his phone buzzed.
[Your friend request has been accepted.]
[Tangtang: Hi, did you find my music score?]
Well, damn. She really had lost something?
Lin Feng blinked — total accidental bullseye.
Before he could figure out how to reply, Su Qingwen's message came in, her WeChat name in his contacts listed as Senior Su Qingwen:
[Senior Su Qingwen: So?? Did it go through? I saw her online — she rarely chats, does this mean you scored!?!]
