"Zhao Jiayin, open the door! It's Yu Rong here!" Yu Rong from Room 303 across the hall yelled and knocked on the door. "We're all brothers; don't shut us out! Let me in so I can learn the truth too!"

"No way!" Zhao Jiayin shouted back from behind the closed door. "Today, no one gets in. If you want to know anything, come back tomorrow."

Hearing that they continued knocking and yelling, Zhao Jiayin shouted again. "Alright! Alright! Go home now! At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, Room 302 will hold a press conference. We'll clear everything up then!"

After hearing Zhao Jiayin's words, there was a moment of chaos outside before the noise gradually subsided. Indeed, after receiving this response, the guys outside dispersed.

The entire dormitory floor was buzzing with chatter about Hao Ren's affair, but overall, things had calmed down somewhat. The auntie on the first floor, who had been preparing to call campus security upon hearing loud noises from the third floor, finally put her mind at ease.

"Ren, you're roommates with us; be honest and tell us what your relationship is with Su Han," Zhao Jiayin asked Hao Ren as the commotion outside ended.

Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren each brought over a chair to sit opposite Hao Ren, forming a 'trial by three' setup along with Zhao Jiayin.

"Su Han is my distant cousin," Hao Ren said helplessly.

"Why didn't you tell us before" Zhao Jiayin immediately noticed the inconsistency and asked.

Hao Ren thought for a moment and replied, "I only found out recently. A relative came back from abroad and invited me to dinner..."

Zhao Jiayin raised his arm, "Enough, enough! You've used this excuse until it's worn out! Where do you have so many relatives Could it be that even the school principal is your relative"

Hao Ren couldn't answer but inwardly smiled bitterly: The principal is indeed related to me...you guessed right about half of it...

Of course, Zhao Jiayin and his two companions, who had been around Hao Ren for nearly two years, would never think that this ordinary-looking Hao Ren was wealthy or influential. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jiayin said, "Anyway, Su Han personally put the necklace on you, which many people saw today. Even if your 'cousin' excuse is true, it won't hold up to anyone else's scrutiny. Now, there's only one path forward: admit that you've developed an intimate relationship with Su Han. Otherwise, the situation will just get worse."

He continued his analysis, "At present, unless Su Han herself comes out and explains things, whatever you say won't be believed..."

"Right! Right!" Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren chimed in from beside Zhao Jiayin.

Su Han would never come forward to clarify this mess. I suspect that even if her house was on fire, as long as it didn't affect her cultivation, she wouldn't bat an eyelash about it, Hao Ren thought inwardly.

"So tomorrow we'll announce that you and Su Han's relationship is progressing well, but not in the way they imagine. The key here is to infuriate Huang Xujie. Then when you have a chance to invite Su Han for dinner, we'll tag along and get acquainted with her..." Zhao Jiayin urged.

"Damn! So that's your real motive!" Hao Ren only realized this at the end of their conversation.

"Alright, alright. We'll talk about the dinner later." Fearing to alert Huang Xujie prematurely, Zhao Jiayin hurriedly said.

Hao Ren looked at them and knew these three weren't good people; they just wanted to use his connections to get closer to Su Han.

However, seeing Huang Xujie's plans thwarted was something Hao Ren welcomed. At this moment, he understood why Huang Xujie had challenged him before the sports meet—it was due to Su Han asking him to her office, which greatly irritated Huang Xujie.

Hmph! Do you think your father being a mere mayor's son is enough to win over Su Han She’s just an ordinary-looking lecturer, but she's not what she appears to be. Hao Ren thought inwardly.

He knew many of the third and fourth-year students had openly or secretly pursued Su Han before, as well as certain first- and second-year students who believed they were handsome and from wealthy families also harbored aspirations for her.

After all, Su Han is so ethereal and aloof. Moreover, she’s only a few years older than them; in fact, her looks, skin, and demeanor even surpass those of the senior girls in their third or fourth year.

But he doesn’t know that when Su Han was still an undergrad at Donghai University and already considered as its "campus flower," Huang Xujie had pursued this unattainable senior with all his might.

Su Han simply ignored him, and since she didn’t live in the school dorms, he couldn’t find her anywhere, making his pursuit fruitless.

He thought that after Su Han graduated, he would never see this goddess-like beauty again. However, Su Han chose to stay at Donghai University as an ordinary lecturer upon graduating, which reignited Huang Xujie’s hopes.

Of course, Huang Xujie's pursuit of Su Han happened before Hao Ren enrolled in the university, and he kept it a secret so well that freshmen like Zhao Jiayin were surprised to learn about his hidden affection for Su Han.

Huang Xujie pursued her for years without success, but a freshman like Hao Ren managed to win over Su Han’s favor. How could this not make Huang Xujie furious

The so-called "campus flower" Lin Li who was hyped up recently is several levels below the true campus flower of everyone's admiration—Su Han!

"Hey, hey…," Zhou Liren came over. "Who’s that girl who picked you up in a Ferrari today She looks so beautiful and seems more mature than Su Han… Ren, tell me honestly, did some rich lady take an interest in you recently That explains why you were out all night these past few days…"

The more he talked, the lecherous his expression became. Hao Ren quickly covered Zhou Liren’s mouth with one hand and punched him on the head with the other fist: "She is my private tutor’s mom. No fantasizing about her!"

Zhou Liren didn’t retreat but advanced further, rubbing his hands together in a more lecherous manner as he approached Hao Ren closely. “Brother Ren! Brother Ren! I knew you were good with girls! Teach me some tricks!”

"Get lost!" Hao Ren kicked him away.

The next morning, the "news conference" took place in 302 dormitory as scheduled. As the "official spokesperson," Zhao Jiayin held his arms high up and stood on the highest point of their room—on top of the bed by the balcony.

Hao Ren sat cross-legged on the upper bunk, Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren maintained order below, while other curious male students, carrying washbasins or wearing slippers, all looked up at Zhao Jiayin and Hao Ren in the narrow dormitory.

The press conference looked more like a group of migrant workers collectively demanding their unpaid wages.

Zhao Jiayin used highly artistic language to indicate that Hao Ren and Su Han were heading in a "positive direction." He also appropriately guided the enthusiastic boys, telling them that if Hao Ren and Su Han's relationship progressed smoothly, Su Han would frequently visit this dormitory building, especially the third floor, giving them opportunities to get close to the beautiful girl Su Han. This shifted their emotions from jealousy to anticipation.

Thus, the press conference concluded successfully, with a harmonious atmosphere in Dorm Building No. 7. Afterward, it was time for each person to do what they needed to: wash faces, brush teeth, and those who wanted to continue sleeping could go back to sleep.

The four residents of Hao Ren's dorm left together for class since today was Thursday. After the mandatory attendance check in Advanced Mathematics, Su Han's course on weak optical signal processing began.

Compared to before, the boys were more excited today; they just wanted to see Su Han’s attitude towards Hao Ren.

However, their disappointment grew when during a two-hour class session, Su Han remained as cold and distant as ever, with no eye contact even with Hao Ren sitting at the back of the classroom.

After class, Su Han left as if nothing had happened, picking up her lecture notes and leaving decisively.

"Ice Queen is indeed an Ice Queen. You managed to get close to her like this! You’re amazing!" Zhou Liren raised his thumb towards Hao Ren. Zhao Jiayin and Cao Ronghua also felt admiration.

Just as they were putting away their textbooks, the class monitor Xie Yujia suddenly walked over and dropped something on Hao Ren’s desk.

Hao Ren picked it up; it was an envelope.

The heart of Zhou Liren standing next to Hao Ren raced: "Heavens! Could it be A sudden surge in桃花運(Taohua Yun, referring to good luck with romance)! Even the class monitor is giving Hao Ren a love letter! What kind of world is this!"

Hao Ren didn't think along those lines and, right there in front of Xie Yujia, somewhat puzzledly opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper.

There were only a few words written on it:cultivation site.Hao Ren controlled the White One to avoid several spiritual senses and entered the Mystic Peak.The spirituality within Mystic Peak was even thicker than before due to the formation's...
