Chapter 020: Zhao Yuqi Is No Pushover Either

"This... How is this possible? How could Zhao Yuqi bring breakfast to Chen Yuan? This isn't real. This must be a hallucination!"

"Senior Yuqi is my goddess. How could she do such a thing? No! I don't believe it!"

"What kind of magic has this Chen Yuan cast? Why are all three beautiful girls, Lin Shutong, Xu Lele, and Zhao Yuqi, trying to please him? He's not that handsome either. And he doesn't seem to have much money. I even saw him delivering packages last week."

Most of the boys had a series of question marks in their minds at this moment.

Zhou Haiquan, Xiong Tao, and Cao Jinyan were also completely stunned. The goddess Zhao Yuqi, whom they had secretly admired for three years, was actually bringing breakfast to Chen Yuan in return? Was this still their roommate? Were they sure this was really Chen Yuan? Could it be that he was possessed by the "Love Saint"? Otherwise, how could he be so amazing?

Compared with the other boys, Lin Shutong and Xu Lele truly understood why Zhao Yuqi was trying to be nice to Chen Yuan. Seriously, he had given her a gift worth ten million yuan. It wouldn't be excessive even if she brought him breakfast for a month. As long as she could maintain a good relationship with Chen Yuan and get his support, Zhao Yuqi's live streaming career would develop by leaps and bounds. It wouldn't take long for her to become a big internet celebrity and earn millions of yuan per month with ease.

Just this morning, Zhao Yuqi successfully made it onto the Weibo trending topics. The reason she was on the Weibo trending topics was the same as Xiaomi'er's a few days ago. The mysterious rich guy "Lonely Cigarette" had crazily sent her gifts, causing her popularity to skyrocket. In just two days, she gained several million followers. Many netizens on the Douyin platform were also frequently discussing what had happened that day. Some even took screenshots and made videos, and all of them became popular.

The Douyin short video platform was really amazing. Sometimes, someone could become popular all of a sudden. For some unknown reason, their popularity would just explode, and other netizens would also desperately ride on the coattails of their popularity. Zhao Yuqi became more and more popular as she was being exploited for her popularity, and the more popular she became, the more people exploited her popularity. Under this magical effect, she already showed the trend of becoming a big hit.

Of course, Zhao Yuqi was good-looking, had a great temperament, and was talented. With her own good conditions, Chen Yuan's appearance was just the fuse that ignited her popularity. Even without Chen Yuan crazily sending gifts, Zhao Yuqi's development in the live streaming and short video industry wouldn't be bad. It's just that she might not become popular so quickly.

"Oh, by the way, Chen Yuan, I have another gift for you. I saw that your phone was still so old yesterday and you were still using it. I bought you a new one. See if you like it." After saying that, Zhao Yuqi took out a brand-new, unopened mobile phone from her bag.

"Damn, this is the latest iPhone 12 Pro. It costs more than ten thousand yuan!"

"Zhao Yuqi is giving Chen Yuan a mobile phone? What on earth has this guy done to deserve such treatment from the goddess?"

"Why? I don't understand where I went wrong. Goddess, are you blind? What's so good about this Chen Yuan?"

"No, I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to expose this scumbag Chen Yuan's shameless behavior. He not only lives off women but also plays around with three girls at the same time. Let's meet on the campus forum!"

Under the indignant gazes of a group of boys, Chen Yuan didn't feel the least bit embarrassed and accepted the new mobile phone that Zhao Yuqi gave him. An iPhone 12, which cost more than ten thousand yuan! It would be a waste not to take it! Chen Yuan took a bite of the deep-fried dough stick and drank a mouthful of soybean milk with great satisfaction. So refreshing! The feeling of being given a gift by a goddess was really great! It really proved that old saying: It's not that beautiful girls are never proactive; it's just that you've never seen them be proactive.

Zhao Yuqi: Favorability +5

After Chen Yuan accepted the gift, the favorability level above Zhao Yuqi's head actually increased by 5 points and became 45 points. Chen Yuan was a bit surprised. He didn't expect that besides giving gifts, receiving gifts could also increase the favorability level.

As for Zhao Yuqi, Lin Shutong and Xu Lele had both prepared delicate breakfasts for Chen Yuan earlier, but he didn't eat them. He even directly gave their breakfasts to his roommates. On the contrary, he took several bites of the soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks that she had casually bought. He also happily accepted the gift she gave him. This showed that her current status in Chen Yuan's heart was something that Xu Lele and Lin Shutong couldn't match.

A mobile phone worth just over ten thousand yuan. Couldn't Chen Yuan afford it? The reason he was so happy definitely wasn't because he received an iPhone. It was because the person who gave him the phone made him feel good and thoughtful, so he was so happy. He valued the affection and the thought behind it. That's what Zhao Yuqi thought.

Obviously, she had misunderstood Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan wasn't that noble, and he didn't think that much. In fact, he was rather shallow. A mobile phone worth more than ten thousand yuan was really a luxury for him! How could he not be excited when someone gave him such an expensive gift?

"Yuqi, thank you for the gift. I like it very much."

"I'm glad you like it. I have to go now. I've taken on a live streaming activity tonight, which is about live streaming with goods. This is my first time doing such an activity. I hope you can support me then."

At this point, Chen Yuan finally understood why Zhao Yuqi had suddenly given him an iPhone. She wanted him to support her live streaming! It made sense. Zhao Yuqi's favorability towards him was still far from being high enough for her to pursue him. Now, she was bringing him breakfast and giving him a mobile phone, looking ambiguous on the surface. In fact, she just wanted to use Chen Yuan to continue building momentum.

This woman was actually very calm. She wasn't a little girl who would be carried away by love. Her sudden appearance today not only suppressed Lin Shutong and Xu Lele, making the two girls back off, but also created an illusion for Chen Yuan. If Chen Yuan hadn't seen that the favorability level above her head was only 45 points, he might have thought that Zhao Yuqi really fell in love with him. In fact, the other party hadn't really invested her feelings. She was still testing the waters. She had just flirted with Chen Yuan a bit. If Chen Yuan lost his head and desperately pursued Zhao Yuqi, he would lose the initiative in the end and become a sycophant.

Clever! It was really clever! This woman was no pushover either! Chen Yuan suddenly woke up. The so-called campus belle and goddess, after losing the aura of a goddess, was just an ordinary woman. At most, she was a bit better-looking, that's all. The campus belle wasn't as noble, pure, and ethereal as he had imagined. She was also a human being, with emotions and desires, and she also had the normal vanity of a woman.

Looking at the 45 points of favorability above Zhao Yuqi's head, Chen Yuan's originally excited heart seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water. A woman's heart is as hard to fathom as the depths of the ocean! Just by looking at her behavior in front of you, you couldn't tell how much she loved you at all.

"Don't worry, President Zhao. I will definitely support you then." After saying that, Chen Yuan took a bite of the breakfast prepared by Lin Shutong and Xu Lele respectively. "Huh, this tastes pretty good too. Come on, I don't want the rice noodles. Who wants them?" After saying that, Chen Yuan turned around and handed the rice noodles that Zhao Yuqi gave him to Cao Jinyan, the eldest among them.

"Fourth brother, this was given to you by the campus belle..."

"It's okay. It's just a breakfast. I can just have a little of each." Chen Yuan looked indifferent. It seemed that the breakfast personally given to him by the goddess Zhao Yuqi wasn't anything special in his eyes.

"Eldest brother, I actually like eating rice noodles. Why don't you give them to me?" Xiong Tao immediately said.

"Get lost! I don't even want to part with them myself!"
