Chapter 65: Same Kind

“Alright then~ Huohua also thinks Shen Ran is a very good girl.”

“You think her personality is just like yours—all cute and lovely—so you two have an emotional resonance, right?” Su Yichen’s words hit the nail on the head.

“Hehe…”

Huohua’s laugh was as cute as ever, showing not a hint of embarrassment from being exposed.

She knew Shen Ran would surely find love.

Mr. Su was exceptionally intelligent and peerless.

While he wasn’t exactly a “good person,” he…

Mr. Su was definitely not a bad person.

In Huohua’s memory, this wasn’t the first time Su Yichen had helped a girl pursue a boy she liked.

This was the third time. Every previous time had ended in success.

So Huohua believed it would succeed this time as well; Shen Ran would find her happiness.

In the little spark’s heart, Mr. Su was perfect!

Except for the fact that he wouldn’t let her use him as a stool!

But…

There would definitely be a way!

One day, she would sit on Mr. Su like a stool!

‘Hmph hmph…’

‘I can’t let Mr. Su look down on me forever. I have to show him how capable Huohua is~’

‘Little Spark is very competent too~’

In a place Su Yichen didn’t know about, Little Spark counted her wallet, secretly harboring an unprecedented ambition.

Su Yichen remained completely unaware, still pondering his next move.

‘If I use the first method, Shen Ran’s ending definitely won’t be good. It might even be as bad as mine was, if not worse.’

‘So, to help Shen Ran, I can only choose the second one.’

But how to help…

A fun-seeker’s character persona was one where the difficulty level fluctuated wildly. Someone like Mo Qingqiu, who was covered in buffs, was a top-tier elite among fun-seekers.

Moreover, a fun-seeker’s love value was often locked in place under many circumstances; the same likely applied to her hatred value.

To conquer a girl like that, one had to break her composure first.

Besides, given Mo Qingqiu’s attributes…

It seemed that in this void realm, the order of his targets might have to change.

Su Yichen pulled his gaze away from the sunset on the horizon and walked toward the North campus gate.

Nuo Nuo dessert shop.

Shen Ran arrived at the door of Room A1. She stood there for a few seconds, and once her breathing steadied, she pushed open the door.

“Senior Mo.”

Mo Qingqiu was still sitting on that same sofa. With a beaming smile, she said, “Have a seat. I’ve been saying I’d treat you to dinner, but I never had the time.”

“I’m free today, so we’ll just have a little something here.”

“Thank you for the treat, Senior.”

Shen Ran sat obediently across from Mo Qingqiu and took a deep breath.

The entire room was filled with the aroma of food.

‘Senior is such a gentle and reliable person.’

“You’re welcome. It’s rare to have a day off. Thanks to you, we even recruited a new member for the literary and artistic union department today…”

As she spoke, Mo Qingqiu suddenly shifted the topic. “Did you try to find Su Yichen?”

“I did. I just went to see him,” Shen Ran said truthfully.

“Oh?”

Mo Qingqiu raised a brow, showing a look of interest. “What did he say to you? Did he agree?”

“Yes.”

“But I didn’t approach the other person first. I went straight to Su Yichen to ask for his help.”

“Su Yichen is quite a nice person, so… he agreed.”

Shen Ran didn’t reveal too much about the private conversation between her and Su Yichen.

After all, that was between the two of them. The girl simply didn’t know how to deal with boys.

She wasn’t stupid; a stupid person couldn’t have gotten into Qingyue university.

“As long as you have his help, things will go much more smoothly for you,” Mo Qingqiu said.

Shen Ran didn’t say more, nor did she ask further questions.

“By the way, Shen Ran, did you try the bugged glasses I gave you this afternoon?”

“Ah? Not yet. I almost forgot.”

Shen Ran took an exquisite glasses case out of her small bag. Inside was a pair of glasses—the same model Mo Qingqiu was currently wearing, though the frames were slightly thicker.

Mo Qingqiu took off her own glasses, placed them on the table, picked up Shen Ran’s to look at them, and smiled. “Why don’t you try them on?”

“Ah? I shouldn’t. I don’t look good in glasses.”

“Just try. There’s no one else here.”

“Alright, since you want to see, Senior, I’ll try them.”

At Mo Qingqiu’s enthusiastic invitation, Shen Ran put on the glasses.

“Indeed…”

Looking at the girl wearing the glasses, Mo Qingqiu nodded slightly. “You are prettier without glasses.”

“See, Senior?”

Shen Ran took off the glasses and set them on the table. “Actually, I’ve liked glasses since I was little, so I tried them back then.”

“I really don’t look good in them. Back then, I often thought that in the future, I must find a boyfriend who looks good in glasses.”

“I’ll make him wear them for me every day.”

“You’ll find him, especially with Su Yichen helping you.” Mo Qingqiu smiled brightly, her demeanor possessing the beauty of a traditional lady.

Her voice was calm, seemingly hinting at something, but she didn’t fully reveal it.

“Alright, let’s eat. In a few days, I’ll arrange…”

After saying that, Mo Qingqiu quietly steered the conversation away.

Throughout the entire meal, she never asked Shen Ran for specific details about the meeting with Su Yichen.

The girl seemed to have… absolutely no interest in the matter.

She was acting as nothing more than an intermediary.

***

September 23, 7:00 PM. Cloudy.

Nuo Nuo dessert shop, Room A1.

“I didn’t expect to meet again so soon…”

“How interesting…”

Mo Qingqiu played with the bugged glasses in her hand, talking to herself.

If one looked closely, they would notice these glasses were slightly different from the ones she wore before dinner.

The frames of these glasses were slightly thicker.

“Now, let’s hear what you talked about.”

Gazing at the thin black frames, a hint of fanaticism appeared in the girl’s expression.

They were just ordinary black-framed glasses; with her family background, she could have as many as she wanted.

Yet her movements were incredibly careful, like a girl in love touching her deep-seated lover, a child receiving a favorite toy, or a thief stealing a long-desired treasure.

Indeed, this anticipation of unknown developments was the temptation Mo Qingqiu found most irresistible.

She craved everything that transcended common logic yet remained within the realm of reason.

*Click.*

Mo Qingqiu skillfully disassembled the frames and took out a tiny chip, then placed it into a metal box the size of an eraser that resembled a USB drive.

Connecting the box to her tablet, Mo Qingqiu put on her headphones.

**[PS: The conversation between the protagonist and Huohua takes place in an independent space; it cannot be eavesdropped upon unless voluntarily opened.]**

The expression on the girl’s face was magnificent, as if she had discovered a new world.

After listening for only a few minutes, Mo Qingqiu’s face was covered in unconcealable surprise.

‘What a formidable man…’

Shen Ran had hardly said anything, yet he had seen right through her purpose for coming.

Unconsciously, Mo Qingqiu’s breathing became much more rapid and heavy.

She was becoming more and more interested in him.
