"I'm going to the gym." Xu Yi waved to Chen Si, slung his gym bag over his shoulder, and prepared to leave.

"Come on, come on, you're crazy. You skip two hours of regular training every day and always skip class to go to the gym."

Chen Si waved helplessly.

Chen Si was Xu Yi's classmate and teammate on the Sun Yat-sen University School of Management basketball team. Xu Yi was a small forward, and
Chen Si was a point guard. The two had been teammates since their undergraduate years and were now in their first year of graduate school. They had
excellent together in Xu Yi's off-campus apartment. They were inseparable best friends.

Xu Yi smiled and turned to leave. Chen Si was a rough-around-the-edges northerner who had a mysterious confidence in his body
and scoffed at all claims about sports injuries. Xu Yi, on the other hand, had received professional physical training since the fifth grade of elementary school
and received one-on-one coaching from the best personal trainers since middle school
. He deeply resented the training methods of the college basketball team.

In his view, the monotonous barbell squats, bench presses, and weighted frog jumps during the team's daily strength training
were severely damaging to the body. After attending less than a week of training sessions in his sophomore year, Xu Yi never went back.

If it weren't for the lack of a suitable candidate for the small forward position and Xu Yi's consistently excellent physical condition
, the coach would have kicked him out countless times already.

Since his freshman year, Xu Yi has frequented four different gyms; this is the fifth, located
inside . Gyms in ultra-luxury hotels are very expensive, so they are rarely crowded
and very quiet. The equipment is far superior to public fitness centers like Miracle, and the indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna are all very clean. Xu Yi
found it very comfortable after using it once and bought a membership to stay there regularly.

Today, Xu Yi was the only one in the gym. He was still
training according to the plan his coach had devised two months ago: 40 minutes of weight training, 20 minutes of jogging, and 2 kilometers of swimming each time, followed by a moderate reduction in post-workout
protein intake to keep his weight stable at 80 kg.

The Grand Hyatt's weight training area boasts high-end equipment, with at least ten types of upper body strength exercises alone, each
focusing on different muscle groups. In addition, there are various waist, abdominal, and leg muscle exercises. Each machine is used for three sets, and when the muscles feel slightly
fatigued , one can move on to jogging. Xu Yi had already fully adapted to this equipment setup and was
adding weight to the rowing machine when a well-proportioned girl entered.

Perhaps a hotel guest, Xu Yi didn't pay much attention. The girl did a few simple stretches, then spread out her
yoga mat and began training. "Her movements are quite professional," Xu Yi thought
to himself, admiring the girl as she smoothly completed several challenging exercises. Then, after the girl started some planks and crunches, she began doing
push-ups . Xu Yi was somewhat impressed; this girl's physical fitness was almost on par with that of an average male.

The girl didn't seem to notice Xu Yi's gaze and naturally walked to the pull-up machine, kneeling on the
support board to do pull-ups. Xu Yi was initially quite surprised, his gaze fixed on the girl. The machine was
specifically designed for pull-ups, featuring an assistive system that saved energy. Xu Yi had just practiced on that system, with the support
strength set at 20kg. This might be more effective for a slender girl, but even so, this
girl was already remarkable.

Following the girl's perfect form, Xu Yi silently counted. When she completed 20 pull-ups, Xu Yi
was astonished: perfect form! Overhand grip! Slow pull-up! Returning fully extended before starting the next! This girl was incredibly skilled; even without the assist system, she could easily

complete 3-4 standard pull-ups . The girl still ignored Xu Yi's gaze and went straight to the elliptical machine to begin her cardio. Xu Yi switched to the stationary bike behind the girl, a machine he didn't usually use because it didn't provide sufficient upper body exercise, making it inefficient. However, he chose the stationary bike today for another reason: facing a huge floor-length mirror, he could clearly see the girl running on the elliptical. Elliptical trainers, often called "stair-climbing machines" because they simulate running and stair-climbing postures, are increasingly popular among students are more aware of knee protection. Many are abandoning long-distance running in favor of elliptical trainers, which offer minimal impact and are less damaging to the knees. Even those like Xu Yi who still use treadmills always . Xu Yi quietly observed the girl's back in the full-length mirror. She wore light gray cotton athletic pants that beautifully accentuated her legs and hip curves, paired with a light red , fitted, quick-drying t-shirt—a low-key and comfortable outfit. As she exercised on the elliptical, the girl's up-and-down motion was . The stair-climbing motion perfectly showcased her hip curves; she wasn't wearing tight-fitting athletic pants, and the slight swaying of her hips with each movement made them even more seductive. What a perfect figure! Such a round, firm buttocks, that healthy muscle tone—I wonder how bouncy it would feel to touch. Sporty girls are definitely the most attractive, Xu Yi thought to himself, wondering if he should come up with some excuse to get to know her. He quickly dismissed the thought. Staying in a hotel of this caliber, and with such a young girl, she was probably being kept by someone. He shouldn't get involved in that kind of trouble. It was a real pity, though. This girl had a natural, radiant beauty, not just a pretty face. She looked to be around 20 years old, someone who should be focused on her studies in university. Xu Yi shook his head slightly, telling himself, "Just admire her ." And so, the only two people in the gym, one on the elliptical machine, the other on the stationary bike , remained silent like this for half an hour. The girl got off the elliptical, pinched her lower abdomen, and then shook her head somewhat dissatisfied. Seeing this, Xu Yi was caught off guard and couldn't help but chuckle. Such a perfect figure, and she still complained about a little belly fat? Girls are indeed insatiable when it comes to body shaping. The girl turned her head, knowing Xu Yi was looking at her in the mirror, but she wasn't annoyed; she just gave him a generous, slight smile. Xu Yi got off his bicycle, walked over to the girl, noticed she wasn't sweating much, and then asked, "Are you trying to lose weight?"

The girl nodded. Xu Yi said, "Then you're using the elliptical machine incorrectly; it won't have a good
fat-burning effect."

The girl looked at Xu Yi with some confusion. Was there really a correct and incorrect way to use an elliptical machine?

Xu Yi understood the girl's thoughts and explained with a smile, "You can try it again. Keep your upper body posture
the same, but change your legs to a half-squat position. Keep your ankle and knee joints fixed and
move . Try it and get a feel for it."

The girl curiously stepped back onto the elliptical machine and started exercising as instructed. Xu Yi watched from behind with his arms crossed,
thinking to himself, "This posture really doesn't look good; it's far inferior to the visual effect of moving your whole body like before."

Two minutes later, the girl jumped down, excitedly exclaiming, "So that's how it works! It really does!
I started sweating in just two minutes!" Then, a hint of doubt crept in, "You were watching me in the mirror for half an hour without
warning me. Were you watching for fun?"

Xu Yi felt a little embarrassed. "You knew I was watching you?"

The girl looked helpless. "The floor-to-ceiling window in front of me reflects light, you know."

Xu Yi admitted somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, but I wasn't watching for fun. Your
exercise method, while unscientific, is more visually appealing, and I was just enjoying the sight."

Xu Yi's words carried a slightly flippant tone, but his manner was honest. The girl smiled, unperturbed
, and said, "Thanks for the advice. I have things to do at school, so I'll head back now. Bye."

Xu Yi smiled and waved goodbye, watching her leave the gym before suddenly realizing—she said
she was going back to school! She was a student! Xu Yi felt a stirring in his heart again.
The alluring made his heart itch.

She'd definitely come back; he'd strike up a conversation when they met again, Xu Yi decided silently.

However, in the following days, Xu Yi deliberately stayed an extra hour at the gym, but didn't encounter
the . Xu Yi began to suspect that the girl was being kept; perhaps her employer was staying there that day, and she was just a last-minute replacement.

What a pity, Xu Yi shook his head at himself.

On Friday night, Yuan Yuan came from the university town and stayed in Xu Yi's room. Yuan Yuan was Xu Yi's girlfriend,
at least on the surface.

Yuan Yuan came from a poor family, but had been somewhat spoiled since childhood and had never experienced hardship. Her university, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical University, had a decent academic atmosphere,
but the girls she associated with were quite materialistic. After starting her sophomore year, her family couldn't afford her
ever-increasing expenses, managing only to scrape together her tuition. She borrowed money from classmates for living expenses. Soon after, she
and two classmates started working as hostesses at a nightclub.

When they went, Yuanyuan and one of the girls were virgins, and the other had only had one boyfriend. The three
agreed to only accompany the girls for drinks, not to engage in sexual activity, and the nightclub manager agreed. However, in less than a week,
both of her classmates succumbed to temptation. The virgin classmate, in particular, was drugged in a private room and
didn't even know who took her virginity, only that the person left her 5,000 yuan as a "virginity fee."

The girl cried in Yuanyuan's arms, and after a day of rest, the two chose to go back to work.

Yuanyuan was luckier than her two classmates. First, she had a very high alcohol tolerance and was difficult to get drunk; second,
she met Xu Yi in her second week as a hostess.

That day, a large group of young people were shouting and yelling in the private room. Some of the more uninhibited female escorts had
been stripped naked and were performing a striptease in the middle of the room without any restraint. Xu Yi, with Yuan Yuan's waist around his arm, seemed somewhat disinterested. However,
unexpectedly , Xu Yi felt the girl in his arms tremble noticeably. When he turned his head,
he saw fear on Yuan Yuan's face.

The experienced Xu Yi knew she was a newcomer. He casually asked about Yuan Yuan's situation and learned that she was
a student at Guangzhou Pharmaceutical University and came from a poor family to work part-time. He casually mentioned, "If you really don't want to work here, you can consider
coming with me."

Yuan Yuan was stunned, then realized that she was being kept. The girl, who had never experienced anything like this before, was speechless.
Xu Yi explained to her in a low voice that it meant spending two days with him every weekend, while attending classes at school during the week.
He then asked her to name a price.

That meant two days a week, and considering her menstrual cycle, a maximum of eight days a month. Yuan Yuan calculated
the tips she could receive for eight days here, multiplied it by three, and guiltily quoted ten thousand yuan.

Xu Yi smiled and increased the amount to 20,000 yuan, then told her to call him the next day after she resigned. Looking at Xu Yi's
smile, Yuan Yuan felt a warmth, as if she had seen light in that dimly lit private room.

That night, Yuan Yuan dressed up carefully, wearing her most ladylike clothes, and went to Xu Yi's house.

There, she tried her best to appear natural and experienced, kissing Xu Yi and taking off
her skirt. When Xu Yi entered her, she endured the pain, making sounds that Xu Yi mistook for mere moans.
Afterwards, when Xu Yi saw the bright red stain on the bed, he was first shocked, then apologetic. When he offered her a red envelope, Yuan Yuan
didn't know why she had refused so firmly.

Later, Yuan Yuan learned that Xu Yi was just a senior at Zhongda University, a year ahead of her, and that his main
purpose was to play the role of a spoiled rich kid, having fun with his girlfriend and a group of equally spoiled young people. Yuanyuan
and Xu Yi attended many parties together. She accompanied Xu Yi to karaoke bars, singing and drinking,
and watched him discuss policies, markets, and opportunities with refined young men in upscale Western restaurants. Yuanyuan was very obedient,
always sitting quietly next to Xu Yi. She would drink when asked to, sing when asked to, and sometimes
Xu Yi would deflect strange things offered to her. Yuanyuan guessed they were drugs or hallucinogens,
and felt even more grateful.

Yuanyuan only knew that she would be devoted to Xu Yi from then on, at least for the next three years of
university . Her classmates didn't know the true nature of Yuanyuan and Xu Yi's relationship; they simply thought she was lucky to have found a rich
boyfriend, and that's how Xu Yi introduced her to everyone. What if Xu Yi would marry her? Yuanyuan
had dreamt of that.

Xu Yi didn't live the extravagant life of a typical rich kid. Aside from occasional parties or going
shopping with Yuan Yuan for clothes and cosmetics, his life was no different from that of an ordinary student.
He often spent his weekends studying in his room and playing basketball on the playground in the afternoon. Yuan Yuan would watch him play,
clapping when he made a shot. Occasionally, she would laugh happily when she saw Xu Yi dunk, which became
a common sight on the Zhongda basketball court.

This Saturday, a movie they both found interesting happened to be showing. After the movie, they went to
the amusement park on the same floor. Although Yuanyuan was already a senior in college, she was still playful, especially fond of arcade games with a gambling element.
She often bought two or three hundred yuan worth of game tokens, accumulating countless game tickets, which she would then
exchange .

Yuanyuan sat engrossed and tense in front of the pinball machine, while Xu Yi, with dozens of tokens in his pocket, wandered around aimlessly, setting new records for the day on
every basketball machine. Just then, he heard applause coming from the direction of the dance machine next door
.

Curious, Xu Yi went over to look and smiled.
He recognized the girl standing on the dance machine from behind; she was the same person he had met at the Grand Hyatt a few days ago.

This was the latest model of dance machine, very difficult, with eight directions of foot positions and manual
tapping points on the left and right. Many parts of the dance required hand and foot coordination. Xu Yi and Yuanyuan tried twice but gave up on both.

Occasionally, they would see someone manage to pass one or two levels, but they were all clumsy and mechanically rushed.

But this girl was different. Her movements were so fluid, her rhythm so perfect. She wasn't just following
the arrows on the screen to find the correct positions; she was dancing to the music. Her feet
landed naturally and accurately on every beat, her arms moving gracefully, brushing past the drumbeats. It

was so comfortable, absolutely so comfortable! So this was what dance machines were made for dancers like her! Xu Yi suddenly
recalled the exhilarating feeling of Linghu Chong practicing his swordplay during Feng Qingyang's first lesson in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*.

Last time on the elliptical machine, Xu Yi's eyes were glued to the girl's hips, but this time, he didn't linger there for more than three seconds. He was
completely absorbed in the girl's fast-paced dance moves—it was so exhilarating, those
free-flowing movements, that youthful, passionate energy.

When the song ended, Xu Yi clapped in admiration. Yuan Yuan, who had somehow appeared beside him,
clapped along with him, looking on with adoration.

The girl started another dance song, but Xu Yi turned and pulled Yuan Yuan away, making an excuse
to quickly redeem the lottery tickets and go home. Xu Yi felt somewhat shameless; he had no
connection , so why was he afraid she would see him with a girlfriend?

That night, after their intimacy, Yuan Yuan, her face flushed, nestled in Xu Yi's arms and whispered, "Xu Yi,
next week last week of classes this semester, followed by my graduation project. I don't have to stay in the dorm anymore. Do you want me
to move in with you?" This was actually a knot in Yuan Yuan's heart. For the past two years, every winter and summer vacation, Xu Yi had paid for her expenses
, but he always sent her home to be with her parents, taking her money without providing any corresponding services. Yuan Yuan always felt a little
guilty.

However, Xu Yi was really strange; he didn't seem to have a strong interest in sex. When Yuanyuan's girlfriends described their boyfriends, they all
portrayed them as horny wolves who would go to a hotel by the hour and practically have to do it
three times to break even. But Xu Yi was a regular once a week, never asking for more, only his stamina was so strong
that he always left Yuanyuan exhausted. Sometimes, even after Yuanyuan had her fill on Friday, she would still crave more on Saturday night, needing to coax
and plead for ages before finally getting her to have him. Xu Yi would act as if he just didn't want to disappoint her. If Yuanyuan didn't have a
truly stunning figure and looks, her confidence would probably have been shattered long ago.

Sure enough, Xu Yi directly rejected Yuanyuan's offer: "Forget it, I can't let Chen Si sleep in the dorm every day."

Speaking of Chen Si, he was quite a character. He had moved out and lived in Xu Yi's house since his freshman year, never contributing
any money, always freeloading, and acting as if he was helping Xu Yi out. However, he respected Yuanyuan very much,
never calling her "sister-in-law" or "brother's wife" like others, but simply calling her Yuanyuan. He knew their true relationship, and that using such a
term would be sarcastic, so he was very careful with his words. During meals and conversations, he treated Yuanyuan as a friend, not
an outsider . On Friday and Saturday nights, Chen Si would finish studying and return to his dormitory to sleep at 9 pm, giving the two of them ample privacy
.

Yuanyuan had wondered why Xu Yi, who was so wealthy, insisted on having a roommate. She later realized
he didn't want to bring his social life home. Chen Si was simply his best shield, and now, it was being
used to shield her. Yuanyuan felt a pang of sadness; it seemed she ultimately had no chance. "

Then I'll just have to go home and support myself," Yuanyuan thought resignedly, snuggling closer to Xu Yi. She wished she could stay in
that warm embrace for just one more day.

The next morning, Chen Si opened the door, placed the breakfast he had bought on the table, and then called Xu Yi and
Yuanyuan to wake up. There's a tech forum today, with various big names giving presentations. Xu Yi and Chen Si will be there, but Yuan Yuan
won't understand anything, so Xu Yi told her to go home first and not stay with them.

In the afternoon, there's an internet-related sub-forum, and Xu Yi and Chen Si went early to get seats in the front row. Chen Si
kept sneakily staring at a girl in a white dress in front of them. Xu Yi quietly nudged him, "The girl's pretty.
If you like her, go talk to her. There's an empty seat next to her."

Chen Si shook his head vigorously, looking like he wanted to keep his distance. Xu Yi found it strange; the girl
just had a great presence, not particularly beautiful, and the difference between her and Yuan Yuan was quite obvious. Chen Si seemed a bit
insecure.

Just as he was thinking of how to encourage her, the girl in the white dress suddenly waved vigorously towards the door, and a
girl in a red dress ran over quickly—it was her! Xu Yi immediately recognized the girl from the gym and amusement park.
She was wearing a simple, loose-fitting dark red dress. Perhaps to be deliberately low-key, despite being prettier
, she didn't stand out as much as the girl in the white dress next to her.

The girl sat to Xu Yi's side, seemingly oblivious to his presence,
chatting and laughing with the girl in white. Xu Yi was puzzled. This forum was for businesses, not students, and he
had registered for the meeting using his family's company account. How had these two girls gotten in?

The first two sessions on the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cross-border e-commerce were of high quality, especially the
young man speaking on IoT, who was very insightful. Xu Yi carefully noted down his contact information, hoping to contact him after the meeting for potential collaboration,
perhaps doing some OEM manufacturing.

Another thing that surprised Xu Yi was that although the two girls were younger than him, their knowledge
was exceptional. In the two sessions, Xu Yi was more focused on commercial applications and didn't understand many of the technical details. But
the girls' reactions at that moment showed that their understanding of the technology was at a certain depth.
Whether it was a furrowed brow, a soft laugh, or a whispered exchange, it all proved that they had their own understanding of the content.

Then, the third topic was about new media. The host introduced the keynote speaker,
a well-known veteran in the online media industry—it seemed to be the grand
finale, like the closing act of a stand-up comedy show.

Then, a few minutes into the speech, Xu Yi started to get restless. This guy was a complete charlatan! This
balding middle-aged man, in stark contrast to his previous low-key and composed demeanor, adopted an extremely enthusiastic
and impassioned manner. His voice was loud and clear, his tone high-pitched, and his gestures unrestrained, as if trying to
stir up everyone's emotions.

However, his content was incredibly empty, so vast and abstract—human evolution, technological advancements, national
policies , the future of the internet—just slide after slide, and Xu Yi couldn't discern any necessary
connection between this and new media.

"He should go into pyramid schemes or sell thirteen-spice powder," Chen Si said to Xu Yi, his voice just loud enough
for the two girls in front to hear. The girl in white chuckled softly but didn't turn around. Xu Yi smiled;
it seemed the two brothers were quite alike when it came to girls they liked.

The speaker began loudly asking, "Which of you has visited any
museum ?"

The two girls in front immediately raised their hands, and Xu Yi couldn't help but smile. Then he saw Chen Si raise his hand,
which he found a little amusing. Taking his three-year-old niece to the natural history museum to see dinosaurs counted

, right? The speaker paused for a moment, then chose to ignore it: "Okay, almost no one has. So, which of you
has visited the provincial library in the past month?"

Xu Yi chuckled inwardly. This guy was quick-witted; he specifically mentioned the provincial library, probably to avoid the college students who spend all their time in
the university library. Unexpectedly, over a dozen hands shot up in a flash,
including the two girls in front of him. Chen Si shook her head helplessly, "You messed up, didn't you? This is Guangzhou, and the new library sometimes has to limit the number of people on
weekends ."

The bald uncle clearly hadn't anticipated this outcome. He glanced around, found the youngest-looking
, inexperienced girl, and asked her to stand up and answer a few questions.

Xu Yi watched as the girl in red stood up. He couldn't see her eyes from behind, but for some
reason, Xu Yi suddenly sensed a malice on her pretty face—the kind of mischievous malice
. It seemed there was going to be a good show.

The uncle remained humble, "Seeing such young ladies participating in this forum is truly
impressive . Could you share with everyone what you did most recently at the library?"

The girl seemed to think quietly for a moment, then smiled. That smile was sinister; even without seeing her face,
Xu Yi felt a chill.

The girl took the microphone and calmly said, "I often use the same questioning approach as you. The questions you just asked
will be followed by analyses of my answers. I guess you're worried about inefficient research, slow novel updates, and long
queues for borrowing and returning books. I've already thought of all that for you. I don't think this kind of formulaic approach is very interesting, so I'll just
answer ."

Xu Yi laughed out loud. This girl was amazing; she spoke so directly, like a sharp blade slashing out
, leaving no room for negotiation. Only a young girl like her could be so sharp and outspoken.

"I know your conclusion is that new media is an inevitable trend that will completely overturn traditional
ways , and I agree with your view. However, I want to remind you of one thing: you are deliberately confusing
the concepts of knowledge and information."

"I'd like to share my own perspective, and I hope you can let me finish without interrupting."

"Going to the library to learn knowledge and acquiring information while commuting on the subway are different and not contradictory.
But whether it's Toutiao, Weibo, or WeChat Moments, those news articles, jokes, gossip, and scattered pieces of
valuable information are not knowledge. Even on Zhihu or Guokr, the answers to each question are very one-sided and
superficial, offering only a very narrow and fragmented explanation of the underlying theoretical knowledge. This scattered theory
cannot support me in solving similar problems. Using fragmented time only yields fragmented information, which
is an extremely inefficient way of learning, or rather, it's not a way of learning at all." "

Furthermore, the rigor of academic books far surpasses that of general information, and there's the issue of rapid memorization, even with k..."
Internet access, lacking the context and paragraph structure of physical books, has proven to be far less efficient for memorization than physical
books. More importantly, knowledge is systematic and interconnected. The more
related , the higher the overall memorization efficiency. This requires settling down and engaging with books. "

For acquiring information and solving a single problem, the internet has an unparalleled advantage.
However , please don't diminish the value of libraries or classrooms because of this. That's all, thank you."

The girl spoke extremely quickly, without any inflection, focusing purely on the content, a stark contrast to the previous
speaker Xu Yi and Chen Si stared in astonishment, mouths agape. What a freak!

Sensing something was amiss, the host had already taken to the stage to smooth things over. He flattered both sides of
the controversy asked, "This young and intelligent lady, could you tell us where you're from? We
'd like to conduct an interview afterward."

"I'm a third-year student in the Computer Science Department at Sun Yat-sen University, and also a system architect at xxx company,"

the girl announced, revealing
the name A collective gasp of astonishment filled the room, but the girl remained unfazed, calmly sitting down without another word.

Sun Yat-sen University! Computer Science Department! Third-year student! Her classmate, her junior! Xu Yi's heart suddenly
pounded.

"You dead fish, do you have to talk like that? Aren't you afraid the organizers will complain to your company?" the round-faced
girl in the white dress complained. The girl in the red dress retorted, "Who told him to treat us like
idiots ?"

The girl in the white dress suddenly laughed, a sly look on her face, "Then let's annoy him again?" The girl in the red dress smiled
and nodded agreeing.

Then the girl in the white dress suddenly stood up with a stern face, picked up the documents, and walked out expressionlessly.
The girl in red followed closely behind, looking cold and disdainful. The two of them walked indifferently down the corridor, facing everyone's
gaze to the back door of the hall, and then pushed the door open and left. More than half of the people in the hall turned their heads, their eyes following
them as they left.

Xu Yi watched with schadenfreude as the speaker nervously offered various flimsy excuses. A few minutes later, Xu
Yi suddenly realized his mistake, inwardly cursing himself for being so stupid. He tugged at Chen Si and stood up to leave, but
by the time he reached the back door, the two girls were already gone. Xu Yi sighed dejectedly.

"Those two girls, don't even think about it. I know them; they're the two most outstanding girls in the Computer Science Department.
So many people covet them, and they all come back humiliated," Chen Si teased him from the side, her
tone smug.

"Peerless Twins?" Xu Yi asked, somewhat puzzled. "Two female students with such flamboyant names?"

Chen Si gazed at the girls' retreating figures. "It's not that they're flamboyant, they're just exceptionally talented.
The girl in the red dress is named Ye Hongyu, with the character for 'fish' in her name, so she's called Little Fish. The one in the white dress
is named Mo Shanshan, and because she's perfect in every way, she's called Flower Without Flaws."

"Flower Without Flaws? Isn't that a bit arrogant for a girl?"

"Mo Shanshan's GPA is still a perfect 4.0, almost a record-breaking score. When she applies to
schools , her GPA will definitely be 3.9+. At the beginning of the year, she and Ye Hongyu's
trio won the Outstanding Award in the American Mathematical Modeling Contest. No one from Sun Yat-sen University has won that award for several years
. Everyone knows she's aiming for Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, or Berkeley."

"Oh, beautiful female academic achievers, it's not necessary to call them Flower Without Flaws, is it?"

"She's also physically strong, the libero on the college's women's volleyball team. Most famously, she got married in her freshman year to
a very accomplished husband, also from the Computer Science department. To others, she's perfect in every way, hence
the nickname 'Flawless Flower.'"

"Okay, that's certainly unique. Wait, how do you know so much?"

"I wanted to pursue her last year, so I asked around, and then immediately gave up."

Xu Yi laughed heartily, and Chen Si didn't seem to mind: "Giving up isn't shameful. However, I don't know much about
Ye Hongyu . I only know her grades aren't as good as Mo Shanshan's, but
when everyone in the Computer Science department talks about the two of them, Xiaoyuer (Ye Hongyu) is always listed before 'Flawless Flower.'"

Chen Si continued: "You know Chen Pipi, right? The fat guy who always plays volleyball with us, the
'Flying Elephant' from the Electronic Engineering department? His girlfriend is in the same dorm as Mo Shanshan and Ye Hongyu. You want to get information about them..."
"Let's go out for a big meal, the Edo cuisine at Xita, we haven't been there in ages."

Hearing the nickname "Flying Elephant," Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh. He was actually the one who started it all.
That so-called unparalleled genius of the Department of Electronic Engineering, who joined the lab research group in his sophomore year and published two SCI papers in his junior year, was
a monster. In a friendly match between the two college teams, Chen Pipi, playing power forward, chased down and blocked Xu Yi's shots twice, making
Xu Yi, playing small forward, lose face. Especially in the last quarter, Chen Pipi leaped up and slammed the ball down with both hands
, knocking the center of the School of Management to the ground in the process.

After that game, Xu Yi sighed, "The Guangdong team has Zhu Fangyu, the Flying Pig, and now the Department of Electronic Engineering is even worse, with
Chen Pipi, the Flying Elephant. He's a complete BUG-level existence in the school." Then, the nickname spread like wildfire,
and no one remembered his genius name anymore; everyone affectionately called him Brother Flying Elephant.

Xu Yi laughed and said, "No problem, help me make a date, see if tonight works out?" Whether he could get
the information or not was another matter, but his unintentional remark had given someone such an unpleasant nickname, so he should treat his
friend to dinner for that.

"Tonight? You're in a hurry." Chen Si sighed and took out his phone. A few minutes later, he hung up and
said to Xu Yi, "You're lucky, his girlfriend is right next to him. As soon as she heard it was going to Edo, she immediately agreed. I could hear her excitement on
the phone . Remember to order the girl some cheese-baked lobster tonight. By the way, the girl's
name is Tang Xiaotang."

Xu Yi laughed heartily, "Don't worry, there's plenty of lobster and foie gras."

Evening, third floor of IFC.

Xu Yi and Chen Si were waiting in the private room early. Ten minutes before the agreed time, there
was a knock on the door. Chen Pipipi's chubby, smiling face peeked in, greeted his familiar friends, and then
Tang Xiaotang emerged from behind that large figure, grinning smugly.

Xu Yi suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, and inwardly sighed. The School of Computer Science, known for producing unattractive students
, was truly blessed this year. Besides the stunning Ye Hongyu, Mo Shanshan and Tang Xiaotang
were both beauties, though their styles were completely different. Mo Shanshan was somewhat similar to Ye Hongyu, possessing
a kind of ethereal beauty in her eyes and brows, but without Ye Hongyu's overwhelming charm.

Tang Xiaotang, on the other hand, had a very approachable appearance. Her features weren't particularly delicate, but they combined to create a
pleasing , somewhat reminiscent of Shen Jiayi from "You Are the Apple of My Eye"—the girl next door, the class beauty, but never
quite the school beauty. Coupled with the fair and delicate skin typical of Sichuan girls, purely in terms of appearance, she was
probably more attractive than Mo Shanshan.

Xu Yi thought to himself, "No wonder Chen Pipi, who's supposedly the only genius in the Electronics Department, has been relentlessly
pursuing . That fat guy really has good taste."

"Are you Wingsky from the Yixian Timeline? I really like your business novels. When will '
Reincarnation ' be finished?" Tang Xiaotang asked excitedly.

To be asked about his most sensitive topic right away, Xu Yi sighed helplessly, "Anyway, the school's BBS
can be accessed from the internet, so you can still read it after you graduate. It'll be finished eventually."

Tang Xiaotang immediately frowned, "That'll take at least a year. I'll abandon this project for now.
Remember ."

Xu Yi nodded with a smile and led Tang Xiaotang to sit down. She was a little curious, "Where did you get this ID?

It looks quite similar to the characters in your name."

Xu Yi smiled, "The character 'Yi' originally means 'spreading wings and riding the wind,' and the ID is a translation of the name."

Tang Xiaotang stuck out her tongue, "Oh, I see. I thought it referred to Chang'e's husband."

Xu Yi smiled and handed the menu to Tang Xiaotang, but she didn't take it, saying, "I've only heard of this place,
I've never been here before. I can't order from such a high-class place."

Xu Yi smiled again and opened the cover to order.

"I gave up my weekly showtime with Ye Hongyu to come here for dinner, so I can't just
order udon noodles," Tang Xiaotang said with a worried look across from her.

"Showtime?" Xu Yi asked curiously, handing the menu to Chen Si and telling him to go for it. Then
he asked Tang Xiaotang, "What's the deal with Ye Hongyu's showtime?"

Tang Xiaotang smiled and said, "Back in freshman year, Ye Hongyu loved watching American TV shows, and she got the whole dorm into
it. But since everyone else's English wasn't as good as hers, they could only watch them after the subtitled versions were released. She
would always download the unsubtitled versions beforehand, watch them first, and then spoil the plot for us, which led to us chasing after her. Later,
our dorm forced us to watch with her, making her do the simultaneous interpretation. This habit has
continued once a week."

Xu Yi was slightly moved: "Simultaneous interpretation?"

Tang Xiaotang nodded: "Yes, her English is probably the best in the whole college, and she received special training in
simultaneous . Every year at the Canton Fair in Pazhou Convention and Exhibition Center, she does translation work to earn extra money. But don't think
too highly of her; in shows like Big Bang, she doesn't know the more technical terms, only mod—"
"Only someone with a family like that can truly do simultaneous interpretation without listening."

Tang Xiaotang added, "Besides, most of the downloaded videos now come with native English subtitles, so
Mo Shanshan and I can actually understand them. It's just that this show is so much fun, so we've kept it."

Xu Yi was still a little confused: "So much fun?"

Tang Xiaotang laughed and said, "We now only pick videos with sex scenes for her to translate, and we force her
to translate all the 'ah ah ah ah' sounds too. Just imagine, three guys with boyfriends surrounding a little
virgin , listening to her moan, how wonderful that would be."

Xu Yi burst into laughter, and after a while, he said to Tang Xiaotang very seriously, "I want to pursue Ye Hongyu."

Tang Xiaotang chewed on a piece of salmon, her speech a little unclear: "I knew it when Chen Si called Pipi.
I've eaten this kind of meal at least ten times. Don't worry, I, Tang Xiaotang, specialize in betraying my roommates. Ask me
anything , and with Xiaoyu's exclusive authorization, I can tell you anything except her period."

Xu Yi smiled.

First came the sashimi platter. Tang Xiaotang picked up a piece of fish, dipped it in some sauce, and chewed it. "Hmm,
expensive places are definitely worth the price. The taste is really different, much fresher and more tender."

Xu Yi looked at this girl with unbelievably fair skin and felt quite fond of her. Her outgoing personality and
straightforward words—this girl who called herself a member of the Tang Clan from Sichuan—truly had her own unique charm. Perhaps
it had something to do with the dormitory environment? "When you're surrounded by orchids, you don't notice their fragrance for a long time; you've been subtly influenced."

Xu Yi stopped his random thoughts and asked, "I just heard the nickname 'Peerless Twins' today.
How did they get such a nickname?"

"Oh, didn't you watch the departmental dance competition last year? Although the math department's street dance team didn't win any prizes,
the most outstanding member of all the participating teams was the lead dancer, Xiaoyu. She became famous in school right then and there. Then,
not long after , she won the women's championship in the school's Go competition, and even more people knew her.
The girls in our class all called her Xiaoyu, and somehow it got around and became Xiaoyuer (Little Fish). Then Mo Shanshan
was with her every day, studying and eating, and some busybodies gave her the nickname Hua Wuque (Flawless), and that's how the nickname 'Peerless Twins' came about. They both
really dislike this title."

"Oh, so Xiaoyuer came first, then 'Peerless Twins'." Xu Yi nodded, then remembered
Ye Hongyu's amazing performance on the dance machine at the amusement park that day, and felt that everything made sense. Then he asked, "
That Go champion is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't she? The Computer Science and Mathematics Department has such a heavy workload, how did she find time to practice?"

Tang Xiaotang shook her head: "She stopped playing Go a long time ago. She got her rank in her first year of high school, probably a professional third-level player.
She's regressed a lot now. If I had participated last time, I probably could have beaten her."

Chen Pipi immediately raised his hand: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have dragged you to the Beijing Electronics Show." Tang Xiaotang smiled:
"Come on, I didn't participate because there were two other girls in the department who were better than me. Who knew they didn't participate either,
so Xiaoyu got lucky."

Xu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No wonder everyone says the Computer Science and Mathematics Department is the top department at Sun Yat-sen University. It's truly extraordinary, I really
admire them ."

Chen Si chimed in: "Other departments at Sun Yat-sen University are just ordinary 985 students, their abilities are only a few
tens of points above the admission line. Only the students in the Computer Science and Mathematics Department are like those at Tsinghua and Peking University, their abilities have no upper limit."

Tang Xiaotang changed to a bitter face: "Alright, what are you envious of? Heaven..." " I was repeatedly outsmarted by those two weirdos in the dorm
. It's only because Tianmao Girl and I are carefree that I didn't jump off the building. Anyone else would have done it by now."

Xu Yi laughed, then continued, "So later they won the top prize in the American Mathematical Modeling Competition,
so they became even more famous, right?"

Tang Xiaotang nodded, but immediately added, "However, the modeling was all
done by Mo Shanshan alone. Ye Hongyu and Ning Que were just nominal participants. They weren't interested in it. Mo Shanshan
only participated because she needed to apply to good schools for studying abroad."

"Mo Shanshan won the top prize in modeling all by herself? Then she's the strongest girl, right?" Xu Yi was genuinely moved
this time .

Tang Xiaotang, seemingly unsurprised, said, "Shanshan is quite capable, but not that amazing.
The core algorithm she used in the competition actually came from Ning Que and Ye Hongyu's work in another competition."

Amid Xu Yi and Chen Si's surprised looks, Tang Xiaotang continued, "Actually, among these three, the most capable
is Shanshan's husband, Ning Que. He and Ye Hongyu used to work part-time at the same company, and later they often wrote code together.
Last year, in the Cat Company's recommendation algorithm competition, they teamed up with three male students from Beihang University and wrote a completely new algorithm
, ultimately winning the championship. They each received a prize of 200,000 yuan. Among the top 10, only they and the team from the Chinese
Academy used the new algorithm; the other teams used readily available algorithms from Xlab." In that competition, the
core was completed by Ning Que and a student from Beihang University, but Xiao Yu did the presentation and Q&A.
Later, Shan Shan modified the core algorithm for a different scenario and won the O award in the American Modeling Competition.

Xu Yi frowned: "How come there's almost no news about such a big event?" Tang Xiaotang smiled and said: "Because almost all the members of the S1 and S2 champion teams were poached by

their competitors, Tencent and QQ, so last year's competition was very low-key." Xu Yi and Chen Si laughed, and then Chen Si nodded seriously: "I really admire them, it was truly wonderful." Tang Xiaotang also seemed quite happy: "The part-time jobs that Ning Que and Ye Hongyu found outside were all very core..."

" Those mental algorithms are so expensive, the income is really high. So when our dorm goes out for meals, Xiaoyu and Shanshan usually pay the bill
. One of them earns a lot of money herself, and the other's husband earns a lot of money. We're basically living off the rich."

Xu Yi and Chen Si laughed again. Chen Pipi looked miserable: "It's true that men are afraid of choosing the wrong career. You guys
can work and earn money with just a laptop, but we have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single tape-out. We don't even have the means to work on our own.
Compared to these weirdos in your department, I'm just a complete freeloader."

Tang Xiaotang patted his shoulder with a smile: "Don't be ashamed. If you consider your SCI paper as a dowry,
it's already quite thick. Thanks to you, I'm also the only junior in this year's Computer Science department to publish a first-author SCI paper
."

Tang Xiaotang started to talk about Ye Hongyu again, talking about that
girl whose learning ability far exceeded that of normal people, who skipped most of her classes, only started reading a book a week before the exam, and then passed every
exam smoothly. Speaking of Ye Hongyu, she used the time she saved to work part-time at companies and then pursued all sorts of
novel experiences: travel, music, golf, rock climbing, mountaineering, yoga, street dance, and even
got a chef's certificate while in Thailand. She seemed to have extraordinary talent in every aspect, reaching
a high level in a very short time before abandoning it to find the next interest.

At first, Xu Yi and Chen Si were simply amazed by Ye Hongyu's extraordinary talent, but at some
point , Tang Xiaotang's tone changed, and she began to complain about Ye Hongyu's various misdeeds:
replacing the bottled water in the dormitory with snake grass water when she entered university; mixing mustard into Tang Xiaotang's herbal toothpaste; hanging a mask on
a mop and putting it on the bedside of a girl on Tmall to scare her; changing the number of her crush on the girl next door's phone to her
own Alibaba number, and having the four of them tease her all night; and when riding a roller coaster with Mo Shanshan, holding up several
bolts and asking, "Why are these things on your seat?"

"The fact that we haven't killed her yet shows how good we've been to her," Tang Xiaotang
concluded, ending her rant.

Amidst the laughter of the others, Tang Xiaotang said with a smile, "Alright, that's enough about Ye Hongyu. Xu Yi,
what makes you think you have the right to pursue her?"

Xu Yi thought seriously for a moment and said, "My grades are pretty good, and I'm quite smart..." Tang Xiaotang
and Chen Pipipi laughed again.

"Of course, I can't compare to Ye Hongyu." Xu Yi smiled, then said helplessly, "My family is quite wealthy
."

Tang Xiaotang immediately pressed, "Is your family wealthy, or are you wealthy?"

Chen Pipipi was a little embarrassed beside him, and Xu Yi was also speechless. This question was quite pointed. Xu Yi
thought for answered truthfully, "My family is relatively wealthy, but I'm an only child. My parents are very busy with their business and are quite
lenient with me, so I have a lot of money to spend as I please."

Tang Xiaotang stared intently at Xu Yi: "Could you tell me roughly how much?"

Xu Yi didn't hide anything: "My parents haven't explicitly said, but I have several million in my own account, and they've never
asked me about it. " "Where did the money go?"

Tang Xiaotang shook her head: "If it's a few million, Ye Hongyu probably wouldn't even look at it. Even if she stays in China, she
can earn a million-dollar annual salary in a few years at a company like Cat and Dog."

Xu Yi looked somewhat depressed: "My parents only give me a million-dollar allowance every year, and that's only
because I need to socialize with the sons of powerful and wealthy families."

Tang Xiaotang shook her head and said seriously: "Xu Yi, your real advantage is: you're the tallest and most handsome of all of Xiaoyu's
suitors , but unfortunately, that doesn't work on Ye Hongyu. She doesn't care about a man's appearance at all."

Xu Yi stammered: "My family's company has annual sales of tens of millions..." "One hundred million..."

Tang Xiaotang's eyes lit up: "Rich guy, let's be friends!" Suddenly, she thought for a moment: "Wait a minute,
my rich classmates from high school all went abroad to study. Why are you staying in China for university?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "My family is a traditional family business. Except for one uncle, almost all my other relatives
work in my parents' company. I'm the only male in this generation of the family. My sisters aren't very ambitious, so I
had to prepare to take over early on. Staying in China for university was more helpful to my family than going abroad. Now I
work in the company as a technology consultant, and I have more real say than those relatives." "A little bit."

Xu Yi said with a bitter tone, "However, component manufacturing companies are large in scale, but the profit margins are very thin.
The domestic and international , and the competition is too fierce, so things aren't going very well. To be honest, I really don't have
the qualifications to pursue her."

Tang Xiaotang didn't expect Xu Yi to say that, and paused for a moment before comforting him, "Actually, your conditions are
really excellent. You're tall, handsome, rich, and talented. You're a small forward on the college basketball team, and you have a family business behind you
. Among Ye Hongyu's suitors, your conditions are probably the best. However, your biggest obstacle to pursuing her might
not be there."

Xu Yi looked at Tang Xiaotang with a puzzled expression.

"I think the person she likes is Mo Shanshan," Tang Xiaotang said seriously.

Chen Pipi spat out half a piece of beef with a "pfft," then looked at Tang Xiaotang in surprise: "Really?"

Tang Xiaotang nodded vigorously: "The two of them have been very close since their freshman year. They eat and
study together. Xiaoyu often climbs into Shanshan's bed at night to watch movies together, and sometimes the two of them squeeze together to sleep.
Later, Shanshan got married and moved out with Ning Que. As a result, last semester, in order to prepare for the modeling and AL algorithm competition,
Xiaoyu also moved into Shanshan's house and hasn't moved back yet."

Xu Yi asked curiously: "Won't that affect Mo Shanshan and Ning Que's married life?"

Tang Xiaotang smiled mysteriously: "Shanshan's house has two bedrooms.
When they were renovating the house, they built soundproof walls for each bedroom. At that time, Shanshan was preparing for Xiaoyu to move in, and later she
often encouraged Xiaoyu to move in, so I suspect that the two of them have been having an affair for a long time."

"Also, Shanshan is working on a paper for a top international conference. If she gets published, getting into an Ivy League
school will definitely be no problem. Ning Que's English writing skills are a bit weak, and Xiaoyu has stopped her part-time job to help
Shanshan. This is definitely not an ordinary relationship."

Chen Pipi looked at Tang Xiaotang with suspicion: "Why didn't you ever mention this before?" Tang

Xiaotang looked at him as if it were a matter of course: "Because no one has ever treated me to lobster before. Of course,
the better the food, the more I'll talk." Then she suddenly thought of something and said to Xu Yi seriously: "When I came here..."
" I checked, they offer a 25% discount on Dianping here. Don't just swipe your card when you pay the bill,
even a rich person's money is money."

Xu Yi nodded with a smile, his liking for this straightforward girl growing stronger. Tang Xiaotang then looked very serious:
"I'm serious, I know some girls don't like guys using group-buying deals or vouchers when they treat them to meals,
but Xiaoyu isn't like that. She really hates guys who are obsessed with saving face when it comes to spending money. Also, picking
her up at the school gate in a BMW, or going to fancy restaurants—those are best avoided, or you might be categorized as a spoiled
rich kid. And, bars and KTVs—she absolutely won't go there. If you mention it once,
you can give up."

Xu Yi nodded seriously: "I don't like those places either. Thank you, I will pursue her very honestly."

Just after saying this, Xu Yi suddenly realized something was wrong: "But, Xiaotang, could you teach me how to pursue
her? I really don't know how to pursue girls."

Tang Xiaotang paused for a moment: "You've never pursued a girl before?" "?"

Xu Yi smiled wryly, "I pursued her at the beginning of freshman year. First, I gave her a phone, then a bag, and then I waited for her at the school
gate in my BMW once, and that was it..."

Tang Xiaotang sighed, "Sigh, why did you have to pursue Ye Hongyu? You
could easily win over any other girl with that method. Fine, for the sake of Lobster, wait for my news, and
I'll create opportunities for you."

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Since Lobster is so kind, let's eat again tomorrow."

Tang Xiaotang smiled, "Xu Yi, I really like you. I really hope you'll be my brother-in-law, Little Fish. Your
names are also suitable, Bird and Fish, it sounds beautiful."

The smile on Xu Yi's face froze for a moment, though it quickly faded, but he had a bad feeling. Chen Si
and Chen Pipi's expressions were also a little strange.

Tang Xiaotang, a pure science and engineering student, was unaware of how unlucky her unintentional words were. She
simply took Chen Pipi's hand, said goodbye to Xu Yi, and mentioned that she could still catch the second half of Xiaoyu's live stream if she went back now.
She asked if there was anything else she needed to do.

Xu Yi stood up to see her off, thought for a moment, and said to Tang Xiaotang, "Please tell Xiaoyu that there's a first-year graduate student in the School of Management
named Xu Yi who is seriously pursuing her."

After watching Tang Xiaotang leave, Xu Yi sat down, filled his glass with beer, drank it all in one gulp, and
began :

"So the most distant way in the world

is the love between the fields and the wild. One is flying in the sky,

the other is low ."
"Kingupon into the sea."

Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The little girl obviously hasn't read Tagore's poetry. I hope it won't come true."

Chen Si was also a little guilty, but still forced a sarcastic remark to Xu Yi: "The School of Management is supposed to be a science student,
aren't you afraid of being laughed at for believing this?"

This is the beginning of another novel, but many people have asked me about Ning Que and Mo Shanshan's university life afterward,
so I'm posting it ahead of time as a sequel to that story and the beginning of this one.

This story might not be finished for a very, very long time. I haven't even thought of a title yet,
so for now, just consider it the ending for Ning Que and Mo Shanshan :)
