CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 160 TWO WOMEN AND ONE MAN! EVERYONE HAS IT TOUGH!_3

Li Changxiao made a confused sound, then took out his phone, opened Feixin, and glanced at his profile picture.

The profile picture was a selfie of him lifting his shirt to reveal his eight-pack abs, though his face wasn’t visible. His physique looked very appealing—the type many young women liked—and he had indeed used it to flirt with quite a few of them before.

"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my Feixin profile picture."

"Plenty of girls have seen it and told me, ’You’re amazing, Big Bro!’ and that they wanted to touch my abs."

"So why is your sister so different? It’s really strange."

Li Changxiao said with a puzzled expression, convinced he hadn’t been blocked for that reason.

Su Yan replied dismissively, "Your opinion doesn’t matter. What matters is what my older sister thinks."

"My older sister isn’t like those ex-girlfriends of yours whose minds are filled with nothing but lewd thoughts."

"If you tried to add her on Feixin with such a suggestive profile picture, it would be stranger if she *didn’t* block you."

"You need to learn to treat different women differently; otherwise, you’re just setting yourself up for failure."

Su Yan hadn’t really been in many relationships, if any, yet he spoke with the conviction of an expert. Li Changxiao, listening beside him, nodded repeatedly. Then, he voiced his "agreement," "Listening to you speak is like... listening to someone speak."

Of course, this was just a superficial pleasantry. After all, everyone understands such basic principles. Li Changxiao had only feigned agreement out of consideration for Su Yan, his potential future brother-in-law.

’Listening to you speak is like... listening to someone speak?’ Good grief, was that his roundabout way of calling my advice useless drivel? Thinking this, Su Yan felt a corner of his mouth twitch, suspecting Li Changxiao was being deliberately sarcastic.

He immediately returned the "courtesy," "I can’t say you’re wrong, only that nothing about you is right."

Li Changxiao couldn’t hold back his laughter and retorted, "Brilliantly put! That’s like... hearing a sentence!"

Not to be outdone, Su Yan retorted, "Well, your profile picture isn’t *completely* useless, just mostly."

...

Soon, the hall’s loudspeaker crackled to life.

"Good morning, students!"

"Today is your first day after freshman registration, and it’s also the most important day of your upcoming four years of university life!"

"The institute selections now officially begin!"

"Next, I will briefly introduce the deans from the various institutes who are present today."

"First, from Jing University, we have the Dean of the Institute of Qi and Blood, Dean Li Shanhai! Let’s give him a big round of applause!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

"Next, we have the Dean of the Institute of Spirit, Director Zhang Xiaoyun! Let’s welcome her with a warm round of applause!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

"Here we have the Dean of the Institute of Beast Taming, Dean Chen Huan! Let’s welcome him with applause!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

"This is the Dean of the Institute of Plant Cultivation, Dean Bai Jie! Let’s welcome her with applause!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

"And here is the Dean of the Normal School, Dean Liu Zhiran! Let’s give her a warm welcome with applause!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

"And finally, we have the Dean of the Institute of Derivation, Dean Deng Guicheng! Let’s give him a round of applause!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

Each time a dean was introduced, the new students had to applaud, their hands growing red from all the clapping.

The applause for Dean Bai Jie was the loudest. The reason was simple: Dean Bai Jie’s figure was incredibly stunning and sensual. She was so captivating that ninety percent of the male students couldn’t take their eyes off her; every single one, without exception, felt a primal, instinctual thrill.

After the deans were introduced, the teacher emceeing on stage briefly explained the selection rules.

The rules were straightforward, similar to a TV dating show or a job fair. Students would be called up by number to demonstrate their talents before the deans of the six institutes. The deans would then decide whether to accept a student based on their performance. Finally, students who were accepted by multiple institutes could choose which one they wished to join.

"Su Yan, there you are! I’ve been looking all over for you," a familiar, sweet voice suddenly called out from his right. Su Yan had been observing the six deans on stage. Turning towards the voice, he saw Qin Yao, whom he hadn’t seen in some time. Qin Yao was wearing a light blue, knee-length skirt, her entire outfit making her look exceptionally pure and lovely.

"What do you want?" Su Yan asked bluntly, without thinking twice—a classic "steel straight man" response.

Qin Yao pursed her thin lips. Can’t I look for you even if there’s nothing specific? she thought, but ultimately couldn’t bring herself to say it. Instead, her pretty face flushing slightly, she said, "Nothing much... I just wanted to wait with you for our numbers to be called..."

"Oh, alright then. Let’s wait together." Su Yan didn’t mind and readily agreed.

Hearing this, Qin Yao sat down beside him. She couldn’t quite show how happy she felt, because a third wheel was also sitting nearby.

"If I recall correctly, you must be Student Qin Yao, right?" the third wheel chimed in, grinning as he addressed Qin Yao.

Seeing Li Changxiao speak to her, Qin Yao gave a polite nod and replied, "Mm, yes."

Her voice was noticeably colder than when she had been speaking to Su Yan moments before.

Li Changxiao felt a pang of frustration and a touch of existential dread. I’m a handsome guy, my Creature Level is ridiculously high, and most importantly, I’m a super-rich kid from Jingdou! So why is it that whenever Su Yan’s around, my spotlight gets completely stolen? Even my prized Womanizer attribute is rendered utterly useless, smashed to bits! This is just too damn much! He felt miserable, as if he were inferior to Su Yan in every way.

Just then, another familiar voice sounded. "Su Yan, so you’re here."

The three of them instinctively turned towards the sound and saw An Shihua, who was also wearing a knee-length skirt.

"What is it?" Su Yan asked, again with his typical "steel straight man" bluntness.

An Shihua’s response to his bluntness was completely different from Qin Yao’s. She stated plainly, "Can’t I come find you even if there’s nothing specific?" With that, she sat down right between Su Yan and Qin Yao.

I was here first... Watching An Shihua plop herself down right between her and Su Yan, Qin Yao felt extremely aggrieved. She had been too shy to sit very close to Su Yan, so she had left some space between them. But who would have thought this An Shihua could be so shameless as to squeeze into that narrow gap! Qin Yao was furious.

An Shihua noticed Qin Yao’s vexed expression. With a deliberately innocent yet provocative air, she shifted closer to Su Yan, pretending to accidentally brush his arm.

Qin Yao was about to explode with rage!

As for Su Yan, the object of their attention, he remained completely oblivious, silently waiting for the institute selections to officially begin.
