Super God-Level Top Student

At least it didn't affect the pair of abnormal lovebirds studying in the library.

Of course, there were also troubles.

It was now June, and not only was the weather heating up, but it was also nearing exam season, so more and more people began to fill the library for self-study.

Those young boys who used to be easily scared off by Su Mucheng's gaze could no longer be chased away.

Of course, the main reason was that Su Mucheng was reasonable.

She used to scare people off with her gaze because there were clearly empty seats at the next table, but now that those seats were filled, the two of them naturally couldn't monopolize a whole table.

For Qiao Ze, this had no impact whatsoever.

As long as Su Mucheng didn't have any issues, he would read books.

The collection at Xilin University Library was indeed vast, which made Qiao Ze realize that university was indeed not a simple place; it was so much more advanced than high school.

As for Su Mucheng...

The "shushing" sound of a pen scratching paper was really annoying and seriously disrupted her from watching Qiao Ze, no, from watching videos to study efficiently.

And what was up with that guy sitting across from them, constantly glancing between her and Qiao Ze as if he couldn't help himself?

Was it really fun for him to keep flashing his wrist to show off that zodiac series Omega watch?

When it was time for her high school entrance exam, the unreliable father of hers had given her a Patek Philippe, alright?

Who wears a broken watch to school, anyway?

Can't a phone tell the time?

Qiao Ze was much better in her eyes, with his wrists clean and free of anything—it was such a delightful sight that made her want to gently take a bite.

Indeed, Su Mucheng didn't think for a second that the guy across from her might have been showing off his wealth.

After all, what kind of fool would flaunt wealth with a watch that only costs tens of thousands?

Suffering in this manner, finally at eleven o'clock, her phone vibrated. Su Mucheng picked it up and glanced at it. An instant smile bloomed on her face like a night-blooming cereus, naturally leaning over to whisper into Qiao Ze's ear, "My dear Teacher Qiao, another important guest has arrived at the library entrance! We can head out now."

Qiao Ze nodded silently.

He was becoming quite impressed with Su Mucheng, as her daily names for him changed in variety.

From the initial new classmate, to comrade in illness, to copying Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang by calling him 'Qiao brother', and today it turned into Teacher Qiao...

Heaven knows what this girl will come up with tomorrow.

Quietly closing his book, he stood up methodically and then Su Mucheng, without any regard for being in the library, naturally took hold of Qiao Ze's empty hand.

She had already let him escort her with his arm yesterday, so today it was just holding hands—surely this wasn't overstepping, right?

He should have gotten used to it by now, right?

Indeed, he had gotten used to it.

Qiao Ze didn't even attempt to pull away like he did yesterday.

Oh well, let her be.

But these silent movements caused several other boys at the table to twitch their mouths almost simultaneously.

How come such a beautiful junior had problems with her eyes?

...

As Qiao Ze descended the staircase and saw Li Jiangao sitting on a bench in the university lobby, he glanced at the girl beside him with evident pleasure.

How should he put it—although he wasn't averse or resistant to dining with Su Mucheng's dad, it was definitely better if Uncle Li was also present.

After all, he didn't have much experience dealing with adults.

If he said something wrong, having an adult around could help smooth things over.

Qiao Ze had already realized that people really did misunderstand a lot of what he said.

For instance, that day in the dorm room, when he seriously asked, "Do you all really think you won't live to see the graduate entrance exams?" it was a real question, not a joke.

But it made the three guys in the room laugh like a combined total of 400 kilograms worth of fools.

Truly, the sight of three men hugging and laughing uncontrollably was quite an eye-sore.

And even now, Qiao Ze wasn't quite clear about what exactly was so funny about his question. Read the latest fiction on M-VL-em|p,yr

How tiring!

...

"Uncle Li, shall we get going?"

Before Qiao Ze had a chance to greet Li Jiangao, Su Mucheng was already standing in front of him, confidently holding Qiao Ze's hand, and cheerfully said.

Li Jiangao caught a glimpse of Su Mucheng holding Qiao Ze's hand from the corner of his eye and his eyelid twitched.

But he said nothing, just smiled and suggested, "Okay, I checked, and the restaurant where your dad is treating us to dinner is 7 kilometers from the university. Shall we just take a taxi there?"

"No need, Uncle Li, we have a car. I asked him to wait outside the school, and I've just texted him on WeChat. He should've arrived by now," Su Mucheng hurriedly replied.

"Oh?" Li Jiangao looked at Su Mucheng with some surprise, then glanced at Qiao Ze and saw no change in the young man's expression. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, then let's head out."

...

The vehicle that came to pick up the three of them was an Audi A8 with local license plates.

When getting into the car, Li Jiangao was about to habitually take a seat in the back, but after seeing Su Mucheng greet the driver with a smile, he gently nudged Qiao Ze into the back seat and Li Jiangao, with a wry smile to himself, took a few extra steps to sit in the passenger seat.

"Oh gosh, Uncle Zhang, it's so hot! Can you crank up the air conditioning?"

"Sure, Chengcheng, just hold on, it'll cool down soon. Hey, you're still afraid of the heat, aren't you!"

The air conditioning was turned up a notch, and the car started smoothly, leaving the campus behind.

The interior of the car quieted down.

Li Jiangao, who had been silent up until now, could tell the driver was occasionally observing the young couple in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

It made him involuntarily sneak a peek himself.

What a sight!

Qiao Ze was still sitting in his usual posture, stiffly upright, slightly turning his head to look out the window.

The girl who had complained about the heat as soon as she got in the car was now curled up comfortably like a little cat, leaning on Qiao Ze's left side.

And she hadn't forgotten to hold onto Qiao Ze's hand.

Li Jiangao saw that Mr. Zhang, whom Su Mucheng had mentioned, moved his lips several times as if he wanted to say something but then held back.

Li Jiangao couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

He decided to break the silence in the car, "Mucheng, what does your dad do?"

"He owns a small company. I've heard him say that it mainly helps clients develop software."

Oh, a software outsourcing company...

It mustn't be that easy of a business to run these days!

Li Jiangao thought to himself.

"So Mr. Su's company is pretty big, huh? Does it have business here in Xilin?"

"No, Professor Li, I'm Mucheng's dad's personal secretary, and have been with him for five years. The company doesn't have any business or offices in Xilin. We just rented this car yesterday," the driver, who was driving, interjected with a smile to add his own explanation.

"Oh, I see!" Hearing this explanation, Li Jiangao felt somewhat relieved.

At least it wasn't the cliché story of a rich princess falling for a poor boy.

He had actually been concerned that Su Mucheng's father was some significant tycoon inviting them to a trap.

He himself didn't mind, but he didn't want the kids' pride to get hurt.

That would be no fun at all.
