I really don't want to be a simp anymore.
Chapter 15: Renew for a Hundred Years!
Although Liang Zhenlun had always been high-profile in his actions, he was not so reckless as to commit an assault on campus in broad daylight under the watchful eyes of the public.
Skipping class was one thing; the school could turn a blind eye to that. But if he colluded with outsiders to assault a fellow student, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance he would be expelled.
His family was wealthy, but they weren't so wealthy that they could support his every whim and lawlessness.
"Jiang Chen..."
He let out a cold sneer and pointed at Jiang Chen, the unspoken implication in his tone heavy with meaning.
"Let's go."
Then, he put his sunglasses back on and turned to leave with his group of fair-weather friends in a swaggering, ostentatious display.
*Vroom...*
Accompanied by the violent roar of engines, several sports cars pulled a U-turn in succession and sped away.
Seeing the farce come to an end, the crowd gradually dispersed, but the conflict that had just occurred was bound to become a hot topic at Dongda.
"Why did you say Jiang Chen is pursuing Li Shurui?"
Li Shao frowned as he looked at Luo Peng. "Aren't you just pushing Jiang Chen into a fire pit?"
Without a second thought, the news that Jiang Chen was pursuing the flower of the Arts Academy would soon spread throughout the entire school.
"It was just a slip of the tongue just now."
Luo Peng also realized his words were inappropriate and that he might have turned his good buddy into a laughingstock once again, but he truly couldn't stand the situation just now.
"Ai Qian is simply too disgusting. To smear you, she actually disregarded her own reputation. Li Shurui is ten thousand times better than her!"
Luo Peng, who had previously advised Jiang Chen to stay calm, had shifted his stance.
There was no taking back spilled water.
Since he was the one who had blurted out the words, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start supporting Jiang Chen's pursuit of Li Shurui.
"I'll help you find out Li Shurui's interests and hobbies later! I don't believe that if we two brothers team up, we won't be able to land a girl!"
A man fights for his dignity.
He was determined to help Jiang Chen win over Li Shurui, just to show that bastard Liang Zhenlun!
"Brother Luo, can you even team up for something like this?"
Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses awkwardly.
"Why not?"
This time, Luo Peng seemed serious, even more so than when he was chasing girls himself. He said emphatically, "Jiang Chen, just go for it. If you have any difficulties with funding, I've got you!"
Li Shao shook his head.
Great.
Two madmen.
"I appreciate the sentiment," Jiang Chen said with a light smile, patting Luo Peng on the shoulder.
"But when it comes to chasing a girl, it's all about sincerity. You can't rely on others; I have my own ways."
The three of them were stunned, staring blankly as they watched Jiang Chen walk away from the basketball court.
What a dashing and confident handsome guy.

In the evening.
Li Shurui started another livestream in her dormitory.
However, compared to before, there was an indescribable sense of anticipation in her heart this time.
But after half an hour of streaming, that name had yet to appear, causing Li Shurui to lose focus while singing. Even the viewers in the room could tell her state was slightly off.
"Streamer, how about a dance?"
"I second that!"
"Support! Shurui's dancing is top-tier! The number one dancer of Starry Sky belongs to none other than Shurui!"
...
When Jiang Chen entered the livestream room, he saw the audience constantly egging Li Shurui on to dance, and even maliciously advising her to change into short skirts and stockings.
*A bunch of creeps,* he cursed inwardly, but his actions were quite honest as he went with the flow, posting a comment: "I want to see it too."
*Lonely Shadow on the Cold River: I want to see it too.*
The special "Guardian" badge next to the name caused many people to take notice of the comment.
"Big Brother Lonely Shadow is here!"
"Hahaha, Big Brother is indeed a man of similar tastes!"
"I didn't expect Big Brother Lonely Shadow to have such refined taste, just like me!"
The livestream room instantly erupted.
Clearly, Jiang Chen's extravagant display of wealth from the previous night had left a deep impression on many people.
Li Shurui, who had been absent-minded just moments ago, instantly regained her spark. However, she didn't deliberately greet "Lonely Shadow on the Cold River," instead saying with a hint of difficulty, "I'm in my dorm right now, it's not convenient to dance."
Many old fans knew she was still a college student, though they weren't sure which school.
"It's fine, just a little shimmy is okay."
"Yeah, we aren't that picky."
"Streamer, even Big Brother Lonely Shadow said he wants to see."
These viewers were not only lustful but also very clever; they knew how to use momentum and understood that "Lonely Shadow on the Cold River" carried weight.
Li Shurui hesitated.
At the critical moment, "Lonely Shadow on the Cold River" stepped in again.
"Since the streamer is unwilling, then forget it. Let's not make things difficult for her."
His words seemed to be helping Li Shurui out of a corner, but in reality, they placed significant psychological pressure on her.
After all, who knew if he was being sarcastic?
Ordinary fans could be ignored.
But the "Number One Top Gifter" was not someone to be offended.
"Then... alright."
After weighing it for a moment, Li Shurui finally stood up.
Rhythmic music began to play.
Eyes squinting.
Hands to the chest.
Waist swaying.
Hips dropping.
Even without changing clothes, the creeps in the livestream were still worked into a frenzy, completely mesmerized.
On the other side of the screen, Jiang Chen held his phone, watching with great interest.
"Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"
Bai Zheli, who had just finished washing clothes, leaned over curiously, only to see the flower of the Arts Academy dancing on the screen.
Bai Zheli's face instantly turned red.
"Go watch your TV. This isn't something for kids to watch," Jiang Chen said, shooing him away.
At this moment, gifts were flooding the livestream.
Jiang Chen was not stingy either.
"Lonely Shadow on the Cold River" sent a "Carnival."
A "Carnival" was worth 300,000 Star Coins—that's 30,000—making it the most expensive gift on Starry Sky.
"Big Brother is V5!"
"The boss is so generous!"
"Does the boss's house have a vacancy for a pet dog? The kind that's been single since birth and can speak human language."
Li Shurui's dancing continued; her fingers ran through her hair, her chin tilted up slightly, and she threw a flirtatious wink at the camera.
Seductive and dreamy.
It was breathtaking.
"You're distracting me."
"We dated, she couldn't produce an Ultraman, so we broke up."
"Liu Zhiyuan from Electrical Engineering Class 3 at Jiangbei University of Science and Technology, your drool is about to drip onto the screen."
What a bunch of talents.
Jiang Chen watched with enjoyment.
He had to admit, this flower of the Arts Academy really knew how to handle men. She seemed to be the type that was cold on the outside but sultry on the inside—a true temptress to men.
Li Shurui was very professional. She danced for several minutes until beads of sweat appeared on her forehead before stopping.
"Thank you, Lonely Shadow on the Cold River, for the Carnival."
She leaned close to the camera, bending over and covering her chest with her hands. Due to the intense exercise, her face was flushed, her breathing slightly labored, and her dark hair hung down. The extreme contrast of colors made her appear even more beautiful.
"Lonely Shadow on the Cold River" didn't speak, nor was he as flamboyant as he had been the night before, but he still used his actions to demonstrate what it meant to be recklessly wealthy.
【Lonely Shadow on the Cold River has renewed his Guardian status in this livestream room. Validity: One Hundred Years】
Looking at the system notification, the tens of thousands of viewers in the room were stunned.
One... One hundred years?!!!
