She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

"Ring ring—" The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Professor Qian on the stage finished tidying up his teaching materials. "Don't forget the tasks I assigned you. I'll be checking them in the next class."

"Yes, sir!" one of the boys in the audience replied playfully.

Professor Qian laughed, his wrinkles crinkling together. "Who was that who answered? You'll be the first one checked next time."

"It's Cui Yu! Old Qian, investigate him!"

"Wow!" came a chorus of cheers from below.

Jiang Lai also shouted, "Professor Qian on the stage is a leading expert in economics. She has published many books and participated in the compilation of textbooks. She is over sixty years old this year and has not yet retired from the podium. She has become a golden brand of Imperial University Business School."

"That's strange. Isn't Professor Qian on the list of potential romance options? Her abilities are beyond question, right? And the teacher-student relationship you mentioned earlier is also possible." Jiang Lai asked 001.

“I noticed you seem more interested in younger women, so I’ve set the range of potential romantic partners to 18-30. If you don’t like that, I can loosen that restriction.”

"No, no, no, this is fine." Jiang Lai didn't hesitate. "It'll give me more to talk about with young people."

Jiang Lai tidied up the books and pens on the table. At that moment, the class monitor walked over.

"Hey ladies, are you interested in joining our class dinner tonight?" He handed over a piece of paper. "This is the list of classmates who will be attending. Do you want to come? If everyone comes, the dinner will be paid for with class funds. If someone doesn't come, everyone will have to pay an extra 30 yuan."

Tang Li stepped forward and took the paper. "There are quite a few people here."

There are 36 students in a class, and there are already 20 or more above that.

"Yeah, but there are more boys. Our class already has more boys than girls, and if you guys don't go, even fewer girls will come. Class beauty, go for it! So many boys are going for you!"

Jiang Lai: "I don't believe that."

"It's true! I told them you were going, and that's why they went!" The class monitor looked at Jiang Lai pitifully, clasped his hands together, and tried to persuade her. "The location isn't far. It's a restaurant on a back street, owned by a senior who has already graduated. Students from our school can get a discount if they go."

"If we're having dinner together today, what time will it end tonight?" Li Xiangyue asked.

"Around 9:30."

Jiang Lai glanced at her roommates, who were itching to go, and continued, "Just dinner? Are there any other activities?"

“And singing,” the class monitor replied.

"Go!" Zhao Ying slammed her hand on the table and then wrote her name on the paper.

I always have to go to class dinners, since they're my classmates.

After Zhao Ying wrote down everyone's names in the dormitory, Jiang Lai and the others left the classroom.

"We're having dinner tonight, should I go back and change my clothes first?" Tang Li touched her neck. "It's so hot today, I'm already covered in sweat."

"No problem, let's go back first. The dinner is at six o'clock, it's still early." Jiang Lai and the other two had no objections.

Back in the dorm, the four of them took showers and changed clothes. This is where the advantage of the deluxe dorm room comes in – two shower rooms, so it didn't take the four of them much time.

Jiang Lai and Tang Li were together. After they came out, Zhao Ying and Li Xiangyue went in to take a bath together.

"Ugh! What should I wear? Although there aren't many handsome guys in our class, what if we run into handsome guys from other classes?" Tang Li looked at the wardrobe with a troubled expression.

"That's true, it seems like everyone's been having get-togethers lately," Jiang Lai replied casually.

"It's not too bad now. Next week, when the department and clubs recruit new members, there will be another round of dinners. This month has already started with dinners."

Jiang Lai chose a white inner layer, wore a blue and white striped shirt on top, and denim shorts underneath.

Then she sat down and started putting on her makeup, thinking, "This is how adults socialize."

Tang Li turned her head and glanced at Jiang Lai, "You've already chosen! Waaah, it's so nice to be a beautiful woman, you look good in anything."

Jiang Lai saw Tang Li still picking out clothes in the mirror, so she stood up, walked over, and helped her choose an outfit. "This one looks good."

Tang Li readily agreed, "That's it! Trust a beautiful woman's judgment!"

Jiang Lai smiled and patted her head.

By the time Zhao Ying and Li Xiangyue had finished getting ready, there were still about fifteen minutes left.

The four of them rode shared electric bikes to the back street, quickly found the dining location, and went in according to the private room number sent in the class group.

Perhaps because it was opened by a senior alumnus, the private rooms in this restaurant were larger than those in ordinary restaurants. There were three tables inside, which Jiang Lai glanced at briefly and found to be just enough for a class to sit down.

When they went inside, there were already quite a few people there. As soon as someone entered, everyone's eyes turned to the door and fell on the newcomer.

Some people are born with the ability to stand out at a glance. When she walked in, even the private room seemed to brighten up considerably.

"Class beauty! Come sit here!" Cui Yu shouted in his loud voice.

"Cui Yu, you've got some nerve, daring to steal the class beauty?" "Yeah, yeah!" "Brothers, beat him up!"

Jiang Lai greeted everyone, then turned to her roommates and asked, "Where would you like to sit?"

"Whatever." "Either way is fine." "+1."

Jiang Lai found an empty seat next to the other girls in the class.

Soon, other students came in one after another. About half an hour later, everyone had arrived, and the dishes were served one after another. When all the dishes were served, the class monitor stood up.

He tapped his glass and said, "Classmates! Today is our first get-together as a Finance Class 1 student! We come from different places and have different pasts, but fate has brought us together. For the next four years, we will be classmates and family. Today's dinner is to help us get to know each other better. I hope that our Finance Class 1 can unite, help each other, and learn and progress together!"

"Great!!" The students cheered and applauded in response.

"Come on! Cheers! Those who can drink, don't drink soft drinks! You're college students, if you can't drink, go to the kids' table!"

"Hahahaha!"

Jiang Lai smiled and picked up the glass in front of her, which contained a little beer, no problem at all.

Everyone stood up and drank the wine in their glasses.

"Sit down! Eat and drink as you please!"

As everyone sat down, the atmosphere in the private room gradually relaxed. From the initial restraint, everyone became more unrestrained. Some of the boys started drinking heavily, while others engaged in lively conversations; the girls chatted among themselves and ate food continuously.

Jiang Lai was also caught up in the atmosphere. People kept calling on her, asking her questions, and inviting her for drinks. Jiang Lai didn't spoil the fun and accepted everyone's invitation.

Aside from her roommates, the other girls in her class didn't interact much with Jiang Lai. The reason was simple: she was too beautiful, and people who are too beautiful tend to keep their distance.

But today's dinner brought Jiang Lai closer to them, and many people had a better impression of her.

-

After dinner, the group headed to the karaoke bar in a large group. The class monitor had called and ordered a large private room while eating, which would last for two hours, perfect for singing and returning to school.

The large private rooms in the KTV are very luxurious, with a continuous stretch of genuine leather sofas. The coffee table in the middle is filled with fruit and beer, and the lights are flashing, changing colors unpredictably, instantly creating the right atmosphere.

There were two round platforms in front of the screen, with poles on top holding two microphones. A student turned on the speakers and pressed the remote control, and the screen lit up quickly.

Choi Woo was the first to start singing, and Kang Rae watched him sing an extremely intense rap.

"Come on! Let's all come together!" He waved his hand, imitating the singers on stage, and handed out the microphone.

The atmosphere in the private room reached a climax. Everyone loosened up from then on, some singing love duets, others singing rock songs, one after another.

Tang Li and Zhao Ying also went up and sang a nonsensical song together.

Jiang Lai applauded for them from below, and Li Xiangyue, sitting next to her, asked, "Aren't you going to sing a song?"

Jiang Lai shook her head. "I've had too much to drink, I'm a little dizzy, I'm going to the restroom."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Li Xiangyue asked with concern.

"No need!" Jiang Lai got up and left her seat, heading towards the door.

-

After washing her hands and leaving the restroom, Jiang Lai bumped into a man and a woman struggling.

001: "Qin Yifan, a romanceable character, has been detected."

The name sounded like a man's, and Jiang Lai hesitated.

"It's a woman."

It's a woman! Then it's alright!

Just as Jiang Lai hesitated whether to step forward, the girl in the struggle saw Jiang Lai and said fiercely, "What are you looking at!"

Jiang Lai shrugged and then calmly said, "You're blocking the way."

The boy took the opportunity to break free from the girl's hand, and the girl, caught off guard, was thrown against the wall.

"Ah!" she exclaimed.

The boy walked away without looking back.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Lai asked kindly.

"Mind your own business!" The girl glared at Jiang Lai. "It's all your fault! Otherwise, A-Chen wouldn't have left so quickly."

"Damn it..." Jiang Lai let out a deep breath and complained to 001, "What kind of target is this? Her personality is so awful?"

"Well, it's fine if you don't need a strategy guide, whatever you want."

The girl stormed off.

Jiang Lai watched her enter a private room not far away, then turned and left.

It was clear she was a pampered little girl, perhaps even younger than Jiang Lai. Her black curly hair cascaded playfully over her shoulders, and her makeup was as exquisite as a porcelain doll's. A hair clip adorned her hair, and Jiang Lai, with her past life's experience, immediately recognized its high value. As for her outfit, although she couldn't identify the brand, Jiang Lai could tell from the superior fabric and meticulous craftsmanship that it was undoubtedly a high-end custom-made piece.

Recalling the glare the girl had given her just now, Jiang Lai found it somewhat amusing. That glare posed no threat to the girl, but it revealed her spoiled and willful nature. She wouldn't act this way if she hadn't been raised with such care and protection.

"They're quite cute." Jiang Lai walked back to her class's private room.

001 says: "Friendly reminder, the cute little girl you mentioned has a -10 level of affection for you."

"..." Jiang Lai gritted her teeth: "That wretched little girl!"

The private room was still bustling with noise. Several cans of beer on the coffee table were empty again. On stage, the class monitor and a boy were singing a heartfelt and sad love song. Everyone in the audience sang along, and some even took out their phones, turned on their flashlights, and waved them down below.

Jiang Lai groped her way back to her roommate's side.

"Why did you take so long? Did something happen to you?" Li Xiangyue approached her.

"It's nothing." Jiang Lai didn't say anything more and continued watching everyone sing and play.

-

It was 9:30, time to call it a day, and people left in twos and threes.

When Jiang Lai walked out of the KTV, she saw two men helping a drunk girl walk outside.

001: "Qin Yifan, a romanceable character, has been detected."

Jiang Lai stared intently, and sure enough, it was Qin Yifan!

"Let her go!" Jiang Lai stepped forward.

The two men turned around and glanced at her. "Who are you? These are our friends."

Jiang Lai crossed her arms and sneered, "Your friends? All you have on you isn't even worth the price of one of her handbags. What kind of friend are you?"

The two men were speechless for a moment. They looked at each other and said in a fierce tone, "This is none of your business. Mind your own business. Do you believe I'll take action?"

"This is still at the entrance, did you see the security camera? It's over there! I want to see how you're going to do it." Jiang Lai didn't budge an inch. "Anyway, neither of you are taking her away today."

Jiang Lai's roommates didn't know what was going on, but they could tell from the situation that the two men weren't good people. So they came to Jiang Lai's side and said, "If you don't let go, we'll call the police!"

The class monitor returned not far away with three boys. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two boys immediately pushed the person into Jiang Lai's arms and then slipped away.

"Hey! You—" Tang Li wanted to go forward and argue, but Li Xiangyue stopped her, "Don't chase after them."

"Are you alright?" the squad leader asked as he stepped forward.

Jiang Lai put her arm around Qin Yifan and said, "It's okay. I've met this girl before. Her friends aren't these two. She probably ran into someone trying to take advantage of her."

"What should we do then?" the squad leader suggested, "Should we call the police?"

Jiang Lai patted Qin Yifan's face, "Wake up, wake up!"

Qin Yifan groggily opened her eyes, "It's you again! I don't want you! Go away! Waaah!"

Jiang Lai jumped up and down in anger, "It's me! You don't want me anymore? If you don't want me, you'll get kidnapped by bad guys! You won't even know where you'll be sold to!"

Qin Yifan seemed to understand, and suddenly hugged Jiang Lai's arm tightly again, "Don't go, don't leave me, leave me behind, waaaah, Achen, don't go!"

"Wake up, you've mistaken me for someone else."

"You smell so good~" Qin Yifan clung to Jiang Lai, rubbing against her neck like a puppy.

Tang Li: "Pfft—"

The others laughed too.

Jiang Laisheng said dejectedly, "I'm going to rummage through your bag!"

After saying that, she reached into Qin Yifan's bag and took out his phone. She unlocked it with Qin Yifan's fingerprint, opened the phone's contacts, and called the person whose contact name was "Big Brother Idiot".

"Beep—" The call was quickly connected.

"Hey?"

"Miss, the master is still in a meeting. Is there anything you need me to do? I can pass on your message."

"Hello, I'm not the owner of the phone. She's drunk right now. Is there anyone who can come and pick her up?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then politely said, "Okay, how is the owner of the phone? Are they injured? What is their address?"

Jiang Lai patiently replied, "She's drunk right now and not quite sober. She's not injured. Her address is xxxxx. Please send someone to pick her up as soon as possible. My classmate and I are with her."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away."

After the two hung up the phone, Jiang Lai said to the others, "We've contacted her family, and someone will be here to pick her up soon. You guys go back first! My roommate and I will wait a little longer."

The class monitor shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not good to leave the girls here to wait. We'll stay with you."

"Yeah, class beauty, it's not safe for you and your roommate to be here. It's better to have a few of us guys with you."

"I'm so honored to be able to accompany the class beauty, hahaha."

Jiang Lai and her roommates were amused and chatted together outside.

Soon, a black Ghost pulled up in front of them, and a man in a suit got out.

"Young Miss." He came up to Jiang Lai and was about to take her away.

Jiang Lai didn't let go. "Where are her family members?"

"The master is still in a meeting and asked me to pick him up." To prevent Jiang Lai from disbelieving him, he also called Qin Yifan.

Jiang Lai handed the person over to him, and the other party expressed his gratitude and quickly left with the person.

As the car drove away, a few boys said enviously, "Ghost! He's really rich."

"Study hard, and you'll have your chance eventually," the class monitor encouraged everyone.

"Let's go, let's go back, or we'll miss curfew."

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly."

"Class beauty, let's go together!"

With the night breeze by their side, everyone walked back to their dormitory together.
