Third update,

...

The relationship between the two women remained as harmonious as before, although sometimes there would inevitably be a competition. Qin Fang was always caught in the middle but managed to handle it relatively easily.

Perhaps it was because of that passionate kiss, the relationship between Tang Feifei and Qin Fang had become noticeably closer, looking more like a couple now, although Qin Fang was still nominally the "intern boyfriend," and occasional kissing and touching were not particularly resisted by Tang Feifei anymore.

Qin Fang had sent the two pieces of jade to Bizarre Stone Archway to be processed by the jade master. This was a delicate task that required some time to complete, so there was no need to rush.

As for the remaining pieces of raw material, Qin Fang had no plans to work on them for the time being, especially the top-grade piece with a quality of 9 and size of 1, which he intended to deal with only when most needed.

"Fourth Brother, have you chosen your elective courses yet?"

Qin Fang had returned to the university from his cabin. Upon arriving at the dormitory, he found it deserted, with only Xiao Nan sitting on the bed surfing the internet as usual. Seeing Qin Fang return, Xiao Nan immediately asked.

"Elective courses?"

Qin Fang was taken aback by the question, then suddenly remembered, "Look at my memory, I actually forgot about it..."

University courses are divided into two types—electives and required courses.

Required courses are those that must be taken according to regulations, which Qin Fang attended daily.

There are also elective courses, divided into general electives and major-related electives. As a freshman, Qin Fang's major courses would not begin until sophomore year at the earliest, so major-related electives are even less of a concern right now. The majority of electives being chosen currently are general electives.

While one can choose not to take electives, if the credit requirement for each semester is not met, it can impact graduation and degree qualifications, so generally, these courses are still necessary to choose.

These elective courses, although they are also formal classes, offer much more flexibility than required courses, and many are attended by a large number of students, including upperclassmen from sophomore and junior years.

Before the holiday on the eleventh, Qin Fang and his classmates had just begun to adapt to university courses. The selection of electives was scheduled for the week after the holiday. Qin Fang had already been notified by Fan Ning earlier, but after following Fan Ning home for a meal and doing some things he enjoyed, he had completely put it out of his mind until Xiao Nan brought it up.

Looking around and seeing none of his dorm brothers, it was clear they must have gone to the campus computer lab to select courses.

"You keep staying here, I'm heading to the computer lab..."

Now that Qin Fang remembered what he had to do, of course he couldn't delay any longer. It was the day for freshmen to pick courses, and the computer lab was extremely crowded. Since his dorm brothers had already gone ahead, he might still be able to cut in line if he hurried over now.

"Heh, don't worry, use mine..."

Xiao Nan chuckled slyly, immediately pointing to his laptop.

"Since when can your computer connect to the campus network?"

Upon hearing Xiao Nan's offer, Qin Fang was stunned and somewhat incredulous, but seeing the campus network course selection system on the screen, he realized Xiao Nan wasn't joking.

"Actually... I am a hacker!"

Xiao Nan tried to act cool as he said this. However, Qin Fang simply responded by flipping him the bird. Although Xiao Nan loved fiddling with his computer when he had nothing else to do, everyone in the dorm knew his real passions were playing games and watching racy videos. As far as being a hacker... no one had ever seen Xiao Nan hack anything.

"Tsk, believe it or not..."

Xiao Nan just scoffed in response to Qin Fang's middle finger.

"By the way, Second Brother, which courses did you pick?"

Qin Fang logged into the selection system, entered his student ID and password, and quickly accessed the system. Faced with so many electives, the first person Qin Fang thought to consult was Xiao Nan. Since they were classmates, if they had the same electives, they could skip classes together and cover for each other if the teacher called roll.

"One in Musical Cultivation, one in Chinese Acupuncture..."

Xiao Nan promptly replied, stating that just taking two electives a semester was sufficient. Of course, if one was eager, one could take an extra elective, as long as they didn't mind taking more exams.

Pff~~

Hearing Xiao Nan's answer, Qin Fang burst out laughing, nearly choking in the process.

"You gotta be kidding, Second Brother, with your terrible singing voice you chose Musical Cultivation? And Chinese Acupuncture... with your four-hundred-plus-degree nearsightedness, can you even find the right acupoints?"

After catching his breath, Qin Fang mercilessly teased Xiao Nan.

"You know jack about it, music appreciation is just about attending class and listening to music... Acupuncture is even simpler, it just covers some basic theory. Do you really think they'd let us practice it ourselves? That would put the medical students out of business... Heh, the reason I chose these two courses is because there are no exams! As long as you show up for two out of three attendance checks, you're guaranteed to pass."

Xiao Nan cast a disdainful look at Qin Fang, clearly having gleaned some information from his seniors, especially the last part which was the main reason Xiao Nan chose these courses.

"I see..."

Only then did Qin Fang suddenly realize. He knew full well that Xiao Nan wasn't the studious type, so there had to be a reason he chose these courses. Now that he knew the reason, why would Qin Fang hesitate? His time was indeed tight, so a guaranteed pass would naturally be best.

He immediately selected the two courses, and within just a few minutes, they hit the enrollment cap. He was almost too late, which showed that quite a few others had gotten the tip-off as well.

"Damn, you're lucky! You were just a hair's breadth away from missing out! You should thank me, if it wasn't for me, these courses would've been full before you even got to the computer room..."

Xiao Nan immediately started showing off.

"Cafeteria chicken legs on me..." Qin Fang said with utmost disdain.

"Forget it, you know I don't like the cafeteria's chicken legs... How about this, let's hit up Elite Salon again this week, and I'll cover all the expenses..."

Xiao Nan immediately began to coax Qin Fang.

"Elite Salon? Why go there? Oh... I remember now, you're not still hung up on that someone, are you?" Qin Fang remembered last time Xiao Nan managed to hook up with a rich girl with a bad reputation, guessing he was up to something again.

"Don't, for the love of God, don't mention that trash to me! Just thinking about it fills me with regret..."

The moment Qin Fang brought her up, Xiao Nan's face soured like a bitter melon. Obviously, he'd come to know about the woman's notoriety; although the fling felt great at the time, finding out the truth later on really dampened his spirits. Now, just recalling it made him cringe.

"Well, I didn't manage to get a VIP card last time, did I? I met a few people, and it went quite well. This time, I'm hoping to meet a few more..."

Xiao Nan had done well at Elite Salon last time, but as he wasn't a local from Ninghai, getting a VIP card was challenging. Qin Fang had one, but he wasn't yet eligible to act as a referrer.

"Let's wait on that for a bit. I'll reach out to Sister Ning in a few days, and next time we go, I'll ask her to refer you. After all, you don't care about the membership fee of a few hundred thousand..."

Qin Fang didn't commit right away, primarily because places like Elite Salon made him uncomfortable; he wasn't keen on going. Getting help from Ning Yumo, however, would be much easier, given her significant status.

"That would be perfect. Money is not an issue, as long as I get that key to the door..."

Xiao Nan, never one to fuss over money, quickly agreed.

"Eh, doesn't that person look a lot like Xia... the teacher?"

While chatting, Qin Fang hadn't stopped fiddling with the computer and, while aimlessly browsing through Xiao Nan's computer, accidentally clicked into an album. There he saw some photos, including one with a visible face that made Qin Fang stop short, pointing at it in surprise.

"Ah! What are you talking about? This is a Japanese action film, okay? How can it look like her? Stop talking nonsense..."

Xiao Nan was startled and snatched the computer from Qin Fang's hands, hurriedly explaining. "If you're going to say it looks like her, then Bi and Jay Chou must be action movie stars too..."

"Er, well, you have a point!"

Qin Fang thought about it and agreed. Although he hadn't seen many action movies, he was aware that some lead actresses resembled domestic film stars, so maybe what he stumbled upon was indeed some unknown adult film actress.

Having had his computer commandeered by Xiao Nan, Qin Fang wasn't bothered. Recalling those overtly revealing images, he noted the clarity wasn't particularly high, not like they were taken with a camera.

Thinking back to the setting of those pictures, Qin Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Could it really be Xia Yun?"

Qin Fang had not only been inside Xia Yun's room but also spent an entire night with Fan Ning having an intense romp; though he couldn't claim to know it inside out, he wouldn't misremember the overall layout, especially the gadgets under Xia Yun's pillow, which had left him in awe.

The pictures he just saw seemed to feature many similar gadgets, and the background also looked remarkably familiar, forcing him to suspect his judgment might be correct.

With that thought, Qin Fang glanced at Xiao Nan, who wouldn't meet his eyes and kept darting his gaze away as if he had a guilty conscience.

Qin Fang remembered the incident when he caught Xiao Nan in a video chat in the nude, and this seemed to confirm his suspicions.

"Heh, looks like I'll have to lend you a hand..."

Since his brother Xiao Nan already seemed to have such a close relationship with Xia Yun, who appeared quite lonely by herself, Qin Fang didn't mind helping him out. After all, the guy was always glued to his computer, utterly wasting his background, money, and sports car...

Besides, since Fan Ning was worried Xia Yun might be a plant by the organization, if Qin Fang had Xiao Nan woo her, it could divert some attention their way.
