Chapter 65: QQ Love

"Who said I want to sell myself?" 

Chen Hansheng thought to himself that Shan Yanyan knew he was joking, yet she still took it seriously. 

Shen Youchu stared blankly at Chen Hansheng, and when she saw he didn't take the money, she stubbornly pushed the 450 yuan back toward him, looking both defiant and cute. 

Chen Hansheng smiled and pinched Shen Youchu's cheek. She had been working hard cleaning, and her face and nose were covered in sweat, her cheeks flushed. Chen Hansheng pinched her face a little harder than usual. 

"Hmm..." Shen Youchu wasn't sure why Chen Hansheng pinched her like that. She blinked her tear-filled eyes and looked at him, unsure whether to step back or pull away. 

"You're too silly." Chen Hansheng couldn't help but sigh. 

At that moment, Hu Linyu returned to F-building, in front of Room 101. "Youchu, I thought you already went back. I asked your roommates and found out you're still here cleaning." 

She saw the scene and immediately became angry, shouting, "Chen Hansheng, are you even human, bullying Shen Youchu like this?" 

She quickly pulled Shen Youchu away and said, "Youchu, don't meet this person again. He's not a good guy." 

Shen Youchu turned her head and glanced at Chen Hansheng as they walked away. Seeing him smiling, she felt reassured and left with Hu Linyu. 

Originally, they had planned to have dinner together, but with Hu Linyu's interference, Chen Hansheng ended up alone. 

"Manly woman, I hope you stay single for all four years of college!" 

Chen Hansheng muttered a curse at Hu Linyu, but coincidentally, the head of the External Relations Department, Qi Wei, had arranged a dinner gathering, so Chen Hansheng joined them. 

Qi Wei and Yao Qingguo had been busy raising funds these past few days, but unlike Chen Hansheng who was able to get everything done quickly, they had to approach one place for 200 yuan, another for 300 yuan, sometimes with no success at all. Qi Wei's voice had gone hoarse from all the talking. 

"Cough, let's talk about our progress," Qi Wei cleared her throat and said. "I've raised 1500 yuan. What about you, Yao?" 

"Our group finished the 1000 yuan task this morning," Yao Qingguo replied. 

"How about you, Chen?" Qi Wei asked, looking at Chen Hansheng. 

Chen Hansheng took out 1000 yuan in cash and placed it on the table, the meaning clear. 

Qi Wei's eyes shifted as she smiled, saying, "I ran into Yao Qingguo several times at Yiwu Commodity Center, but I've never seen you there, Chen." 

Chen Hansheng calmly puffed out some smoke without responding. 

Although this was supposed to be a dinner for the External Relations Department, it was really just a few people gathering in the cafeteria with food they had bought, and everyone was feeling the pressure. A proper party would have to wait until after the new student party. 

During the meal, Qi Wei also distributed 3500 yuan for different items—some for banners, some for logo shirts, some for small gifts, and some for plaques. 

Qi Wei asked Chen Hansheng about the sponsor requirements, and he said, "Four prominent banners." 

This type of banner sponsorship reads "XXX Company congratulates the successful opening of the Humanities and Social Sciences Freshman Party," which both promotes the event and increases the company's visibility on campus. 

Qi Wei nodded, "No problem. We'll print the banners tomorrow. This Friday is the event, so let's hold on for just a little longer."

The next day, there was a computer class. The Public Administration major required a computer operations certificate, so it was necessary for graduation. 

Before class, Chen Hansheng made a special trip to F-building Rooms 101 and 102. He hadn't locked the door the night before, planning to air out the musty smell as much as possible. 

However, when he entered, he felt something was different, but he couldn't put his finger on it. 

The environment was cleaner, but the door was still the door, the walls were still the walls, and the windows were still the windows. 

Wait, the problem was with the window. 

Chen Hansheng walked over to the window, and suddenly noticed a pot of flourishing pothos had been placed there. The delicate sunlight filtered through the green leaves, allowing him to see the stems and veins clearly. 

In the late autumn atmosphere, this seemingly inconspicuous soft green added a warmth to the entire room. 

Chen Hansheng reached out and gently touched the leaves. 

"I wonder who put you here," he mused. 

In college computer classes, teachers usually lecture while students chat on QQ, decorate their spaces, or even play LAN games. Yang Shichao and Jin Yangming had even downloaded CS to prepare for a dorm room PK. 

Like the others, Chen Hansheng quickly logged into QQ. 

His nickname was "Chen Yingjun," and when he opened his friend list, he saw a few familiar silly usernames. 

"Years of Youth" was Wang Zibo, who pretended to download a picture of Takeshi Kaneshiro as his avatar. 

"Snow in Beidao" was Gao Jialiang, whose red VIP status always flaunted his noble identity. 

There were also a few names like "Heart's Dream, Past Like Smoke, Crystal Girl," which at the time didn't seem childish at all. 

"Ding ding ding" 

Chen Hansheng had been offline for a while and received a friend request. The verification message read, "Brother, I'm your little sister." 

"Didn't expect there'd be sexual harassment ads already," Chen Hansheng complained. He replied, "I don't like little sisters, I prefer mature women." 

Within five minutes, Liang Meijuan called. 

"The daughter of your aunt's family is taking the middle school entrance exam next year. She has some questions and added your QQ to ask. Why are you responding with all sorts of nonsense?" 

"F***..." 

Chen Hansheng quickly explained, "Mom, it's a misunderstanding, let me explain..." 

"I'm not listening. You've been floating since you went to college. Just wait!" 

His mother, Liang Meijuan, hung up angrily. Chen Hansheng didn't take it seriously. 

"Wait, wait, what can you do?" 

"Ding ding ding" 

A message popped up from Wang Zibo. 

"Years of Youth: Hey, Chen, I'm coming to visit you this weekend." 

"Chen Yingjun: I'm busy." 

"Years of Youth: Every time I ask to visit, you say you're busy. Do we still have brotherhood?" 

"Chen Yingjun: Yeah." 

"Years of Youth: (angry emoji)." 

Chen Hansheng couldn't be bothered to reply and closed the chat with "Years of Youth." 

Then, another notification appeared in the QQ corner. 

Annoyed, he was about to exit but saw it was from "Hiding in the Sea Blowing Bubbles." 

It was Xiao Rongyu. Chen Hansheng sighed, reminding himself to stay invisible online next time. 

"Hiding in the Sea Blowing Bubbles: Hey, Chen, I'm coming to visit you tonight. I want to check out your new shop." 

"Chen Yingjun: I've been busy preparing for the Freshman Party, haven't had time." 

"Hiding in the Sea Blowing Bubbles: Then how come you have time to be online?" 

"Chen Yingjun: I'm here to check some materials, and also to remind you, the cold air's coming in these days, so bundle up (rose emoji)." 

"Hiding in the Sea Blowing Bubbles: (shy emoji) Got it. I'll come see you this weekend. I've been busy with elective courses these days. I have to go to class now, talk later." 

Not long after, "Hiding in the Sea Blowing Bubbles" went offline. 

Chen Hansheng stared at the screen, realizing Xiao Rongyu might get into trouble if she came alone. He needed to find a few "lightbulbs" to accompany her. 

He thought for a moment, then opened the QQ pages of "Years of Youth" and "Snow in Beidao." 

"Wang Zibo, Gao Jialiang, come visit the School of Finance this weekend. The scenery is beautiful, there are tons of pretty girls, and I'll have some tea waiting for you."
