"It's past three o'clock, how come she hasn't come out yet?" Liu Yingjun muttered, a piece of typical clueless-guy nonsense. His girlfriend, Zhao Shengnan, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Pig, haven't you noticed there's someone missing from the living room?!

The three guys engrossed in playing Landlord really hadn't noticed. Yu Xueqin had stormed off in a huff much earlier, right when Wang Tianqing had gone into Han Lie's room. Only the ever-perceptive Wang Xiaotian knew what was truly going on.

Old Wang envied Han Lie's good fortune with women. Wang Tianqing, after all, was a standout beauty in the student council. With her ample bosom, perky rear, and fair skin, she was sexy without even trying.

But that was as far as he dared—envy, not even jealousy.

The true test of intelligence is seeing if someone knows how to play a supporting role.

Wang Xiaotian was undoubtedly intelligent, so he quickly devised a way to divert the guys' attention from Han Lie.

"This is a nice place, Brother Fang, Brother Jun, what do you think?"

"It's not bad at all." Ma Ke was the first to nod, casually playing cards with Lou Xiaoxiao in his arms, feeling exceptionally free and easy.

"It's much more comfortable than school..."

"That's for sure," Liu Yingjun agreed, nodding. "Even with a discount, it must cost 20,000 to 30,000 a day. How can school compare?"

Wang Xiaotian immediately chimed in, "Then… shall we just stay here for the next few days? We can see if there's any turn of events at school before deciding our next move."

"Sure." Fang Tongzhi thought it over and decided to accept Han Lie's favor.

"Han Lie is quite generous. He probably won't mind us borrowing the place for two or three days."

"Not a chance," Ma Ke laughed. "Today's liquor bill alone is enough for a week's stay here. Han Lie is indeed a generous guy."

Good heavens, they all really regarded Han Lie as a great guy. That was a bit much.

Lou Xiaoxiao was extremely excited, a mix of anticipation and regret in her voice as she made arrangements. "Then Shengnan and I will take the small bedroom. We can even go to the lounge bar for a drink at night… It's just a pity that the bathroom isn't fully enclosed. That big bathtub is so awesome!"

Ma Ke humorously replied, "You've got at least three or four days, and we're not here every day. You two take your time and find an opportunity!"

An image of Han Lie's defiant face suddenly flashed through Zhao Shengnan's mind, a hint of fascination surfacing in her eyes.

While they were talking, Han Lie came out.

"Big brothers, how's the battle going?"

Fang Tongzhi, Ma Ke, and Liu Yingjun all put down their poker cards and stood up.

"We're just playing around to kill time. How about you? Looks like you had a good haul today?"

Han Lie shook his head. "The opportunity was just so-so."

The men exchanged pleasantries. Zhao Shengnan and Lou Xiaoxiao exchanged a significant glance before going to find Wang Tianqing.

They hadn't gone far before they cornered Wang Tianqing at the doorway of the master bedroom.

The flirtatious duo pushed and pulled Wang Tianqing back into the bedroom, closed the door, and began their interrogation.

"How did it go? How did it go?"

Wang Tianqing still tried to play dumb. "How did what go?!"

"Progress!"

"What else could have happened? Just that."

Wang Tianqing seemed a bit disheartened. The two friends exchanged shocked glances, hardly believing it.

"You were in there for over an hour, and you two did nothing?"

"I... I kissed him forcefully, but he, he didn't really react..." Wang Tianqing stammered out the truth, her cheeks flushed red, unsure what she was embarrassed about.

"Useless girl!" Zhao Shengnan cursed in frustration, while Lou Xiaoxiao was even more incredulous. "What do you mean 'didn't really react'? Literally? That's impossible, right?!"

"It's not like that. In that department, he's quite... impressive..." Wang Tianqing hurried to clarify, fearing her friends would misunderstand and start spreading harmful rumors.

"I mean, he wasn't proactive towards me at all, so nothing actually developed. It felt as if I'd taken advantage of him, only for it to lead absolutely nowhere..."

"Damn! How can he exercise such restraint?!" Lou Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in shock.

"Aren't men his age supposed to rip off your black stockings at the slightest provocation? Why is Ma Ke always like a beast in heat?"

Her comment only made Wang Tianqing feel even worse.

"Maybe he just isn't into me..."

"Impossible!" Lou Xiaoxiao flatly refused to believe it. She thought Wang Tianqing was much sexier than herself. Even Ma Ke always snuck peeks at her. What normal man could resist?

Even if he could resist under normal circumstances, they were alone in a dark room, kissing for ages, and she was the one initiating it—anyone would be driven to animalistic desire!

"Really, I'm not lying to you!" Wang Tianqing also felt helpless and deeply frustrated, but that was the truth.

"Han Lie didn't make a single move from beginning to end, as if I were just messing around... It's so embarrassing!"

Zhao Shengnan suddenly interjected, "So, how did it make you feel?"

"Huh?!" Wang Tianqing froze, her cheeks suddenly flushing. "It felt... pretty good, I guess... His scent was very fresh—no smoke, alcohol, or bad breath. And his muscles were so firm and resilient... Oh, I don't want to talk about this anymore!"

"If you don't want to talk, that's fine." Zhao Shengnan suddenly smiled slyly. "Then, do you want to 'conquer' him? If you do, tonight is a great opportunity, and we can help you."

"Isn't it too soon?"

"Isn't that being too forward?"

Wang Tianqing and Lou Xiaoxiao exclaimed simultaneously, though their concerns were entirely different.

Moreover, Wang Tianqing had another worry. "Aren't he and Pan Ge practically a couple already? If I just barge in like this, will it actually lead to anything?"

Zhao Shengnan shrugged. "Depends on what kind of outcome you're after."

"I... I don't know..."
