"Be my boyfriend, and I'll give you twenty thousand a month."
At the gates of Jiang University.
Lin Yang had just unlocked his shared bicycle when a clear, melodic voice rang out right beside his ear.
In an instant, Lin Yang's heart began to hammer like a drum.
Heavens above, earth below, great deities, have you finally heard my birthday wish?
Ever since his family went bankrupt, ever since his scumbag of a father vanished from the face of the earth to dodge his debts, and ever since his mother cracked under the blow and fell mentally ill—
Lin Yang had dreamed day and night of a wealthy young woman with pale skin, delicate beauty, a slender waist, and long legs, who would fling an unlimited black gold card right into his face and force him to be her boyfriend!
And now, a drama like this was finally unfolding.
Lin Yang hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, eager to see which female bodhisattva had chosen to confess her feelings to him.
Yet the very next second, Lin Yang awkwardly averted his gaze.
Damn it, she wasn't confessing to him at all.
Through his hurried glance, he saw a man and a woman standing not far away.
The man was handsome and dashing, while the woman had a fair face and red lips, radiant and breathtaking, yet carrying an air of cool, aristocratic elegance that was outrageously pretty.
Lin Yang wanted to cry.
The scenario of his dreams was playing out right before him, but he wasn't the leading man.
"Fu Hongli, give it up! No matter how much money you offer me, I, Zhao Qingfeng, will never be your boyfriend!"
It was actually Zhao Qingfeng. This guy was the heartthrob of the sports department and a legendary figure around Jiang University.
Lin Yang felt an even deeper pang of envy.
Truly, the parched die of thirst while the drenched drown.
Losing all appetite for the spectacle, Lin Yang readied his shattered heart and prepared to head off to work.
Yet the moment he took a step, a sudden shock went through him.
Wait. Did Zhao Qingfeng just call that girl Fu Hongli?
Could it be Fu Hongli, the rumored little princess of the Beijing elite circles?
Could it be Fu Hongli, the universally acknowledged campus belle of Jiang University?
Could it be Fu Hongli, whom countless restless youths at Jiang University hailed as the ultimate embodiment of the Innate Succubus Holy Body and the Pure and Desiring Divine Physique?
No wonder Lin Yang had thought she looked somewhat familiar apart from just being pretty when he first laid eyes on her.
Normally, Lin Yang didn't pay much attention to such things—he simply didn't have the time, since every spare second was spent working to pay off debts and looking after his mother.
Still, he couldn't stop the three "sons" in his dorm from adoring Fu Hongli; her photos were plastered everywhere in their room, and they frequently traded insults regarding each other's female relatives while fighting over who had the right to call themselves Fu Hongli's husband.
But none of that was the main point. The main point was that Fu Hongli, that flower standing high upon a snowy peak, was actually spending money to chase a guy.
Sparks of gossip rapidly ignited in the depths of Lin Yang's heart, blazing into a raging inferno in the blink of an eye.
Bending down as if to tie his shoelace, Lin Yang cast another nonchalant glance at Fu Hongli.
Damn, she was gorgeous. No, "pretty" was far too superficial a word to capture the divine countenance of the girl standing before him.
Her beauty was like the Spring Breeze of March, stirring up ripples of longing in everyone who saw her.
And her figure was seriously amazing—tiny waist and huge breasts.
Outrageously huge.
No wonder people called her the Succubus Holy Body.
It was a pity her plain white dress concealed her figure entirely, making it impossible to see her legs.
Even so, she stood around one meter seventy, and the distance from her slender waist to the ground was at least one meter eleven or twelve.
Which meant those legs hidden beneath her white dress had to be exceptionally long.
While envying Zhao Qingfeng, Lin Yang couldn't help muttering internally that the guy must be both blind and brainless.
Damn it, if she were given to him, he'd be willing to pay her just for the privilege of being with Fu Hongli.
Yet here was Zhao Qingfeng, refusing even when money was offered.
"Fine. Don't come crying to me later."
Fu Hongli's voice was piercingly cold.
Doubtless, it was the result of having her self-esteem dealt a devastating blow after being rejected.
And understandably so—she had lowered herself to offering money in a confession, only to be ruthlessly turned down.
Such an experience would sting even an ordinary person, let alone a proud daughter of heaven like Fu Hongli.
A good show thus coming to an end, Lin Yang felt a lingering sense of unfulfillment.
Just as he was about to stand up, a shadow abruptly loomed over him.
Lin Yang raised his head sharply, and Fu Hongli's heart-stirring, divine face came clearly into view right before his eyes.
Caught off guard by the direct gaze, Lin Yang felt his heart skip a beat.Close contact made Lin Yang feel that Fu Hongli was even more attractive than before.
No wonder so many people at Jiang University pursued her.
"Would you be my boyfriend?" Fu Hongli's crisp voice was as cold and aloof as ever.
What?
Lin Yang thought he had misheard, his eyes widening like a bull's.
"You heard me right. Be my boyfriend, and I'll give you one hundred thousand a month," Fu Hongli added, her tone incredibly resolute.
Lin Yang was even more bewildered.
What kind of game was this?
Could it be to provoke Zhao Qingfeng?
It had to be. Otherwise, how could she possibly confess her feelings to him and multiply the monthly allowance fivefold?
Zhao Qingfeng was indeed provoked.
Looking as though he had suffered a monstrous humiliation, he demanded furiously, "Fu Hongli, why did you only offer me twenty thousand, but you're giving him one hundred thousand?!"
"Because he's more handsome than you!" Fu Hongli's voice carried no warmth at all.
Zhao Qingfeng was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.
Just moments ago, he had assumed Fu Hongli was using money to test him and had wanted to put on an act. Who could have imagined that she was genuinely looking to buy a boyfriend with cash?
Zhao Qingfeng regretted it so much he wanted to slap himself across the face several times. If he had known it was like this, why bother putting on airs?
This was Fu Hongli! He would have been willing to be her boyfriend even without getting paid.
Zhao Qingfeng wanted to soften up toward Fu Hongli, but he was so used to having others fawn over him that he couldn't bring himself to lower his head and apologize.
"Fu Hongli, even if you want to provoke me, you could at least pick someone decent. This guy is so ordinary, how could he possibly compare to my..."
Before the word "handsome" could leave his lips, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly choked on his words.
Because he saw Lin Yang's face.
"Holy shit!" Zhao Qingfeng cursed in excitement.
Beneath the blazing sun, Zhao Qingfeng beheld a face of breathtaking, soul-stirring handsomeness.
With deep-set eyes, a high bridge of the nose, and thin lips, even though his clothes and styling were completely ordinary, his handsome face was as impossible to hide as a pregnant belly.
Moreover, although this kid's physique didn't look particularly bulky, his proportions were exceptionally well-balanced, and his legs were even longer than his own.Damn, since when did Jiang University get someone this handsome?
Zhao Qingfeng even felt that if this kid in front of him participated in the campus hunk competition, he could definitely crush Jiang University's legendary campus hunk, Lin Yang.
Intending to badmouth Lin Yang, Zhao Qingfeng instead found a sense of inferiority breeding in his heart.
Lin Yang had no idea what Zhao Qingfeng was thinking. At this moment, his heart was beating so hard it felt like it would burst through his chest.
Yes, Fu Hongli's terms made Lin Yang very tempted.
He needed money. He was desperately short of money.
After his family went bankrupt, creditors coming to the door to demand debts were driving him and his old mother insane.
The countless hours he spent working day and night were just a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, after selling off most of their family property, his external debts were now down to just over one million.
Over one million was naturally nothing on the internet, where everyone seemed worth hundreds of millions, but in reality, for Lin Yang, it was an astronomical figure.
An astronomical figure that kept Lin Yang up at night and unable to catch his breath.
Yet temptation was temptation; Lin Yang had no desire to get involved with Fu Hongli.
After all, he was currently deeply mired in the mud and living a complete mess; he simply didn't dare look for a girlfriend, nor did he have the energy to look for one.
Besides, even if Lin Yang wanted a girlfriend, he wanted someone on the same wavelength, rather than someone like Fu Hongli trying to smash him with money.
Though Fu Hongli really did tempt him quite a bit.
Damn it, who wouldn't want a girlfriend with an Innate Succubus Holy Body and a Pure and Desiring Divine Physique?
Seeing that Lin Yang remained silent for a long time, Zhao Qingfeng assumed Lin Yang had chickened out.
He sneered disdainfully and said, "Fu Hongli, what's the use of being handsome? Isn't he still just a coward? If you ask me, you might as well choose me."
Fuck.
Lin Yang was displeased—extremely displeased.
The trials of life after his family's bankruptcy had taught Lin Yang to tuck his tail between his legs and keep a low profile.
But that didn't mean he could be casually humiliated and pushed around.
Looking at Zhao Qingfeng's arrogant expression, Lin Yang suddenly broke into a brilliant smile.
"Fu Hongli, starting from now, I am your boyfriend!"
