?

Do I still have to make you satisfied?

Tan Xin suspected that her boss had drunk too much and was talking nonsense, so she coldly replied, “Boss, you misspoke.”

“Who said I misspoke? I didn’t misspeak,” Shen Yuan argued shamelessly.

Tan Xin took a deep breath. “Sorry, I can’t meet your requirement.”

“What requirement? Did I just make any excessive demands?” Shen Yuan pretended to be unaware.

Tan Xin gritted her teeth. “…You just said I have to satisfy you.”

Shen Yuan chuckled. “You must have misheard. What I clearly said was to make me feel satisfied.”

Tan Xin was irritated to the point of grinding her teeth. She was certain she hadn’t misheard, yet her boss refused to admit it.

Who knows if he’s using jokes to subtly say what’s really on his mind.

In short, this boss never misses an opportunity to take advantage of her–whether verbally or even physically, on a few occasions.

Shen Yuan found it amusing. “That’s the right vibe! Getting upset from time to time adds flavor. Always keeping a poker face is so boring.”

Tan Xin: “……”

……

At this moment, in the girls’ dormitory of Nanzhong University.

Shen Xuan had just come back from outside. Since childhood, she had always been a day student. Now that she was finally in college, she wanted to try the fun of living on campus.

Anyway, she had her own bed and desk. She could live on campus when she wanted, and go home to sleep when she didn’t.

At first, living on campus was pretty enjoyable–eating, living, and joking around with roommates, full of laughter and noise.

Plus, during nighttime chit-chats, the dorm talked about all sorts of topics, including male anatomy. Sometimes, sisters would even share embarrassing tidbits about dating.

When they first started living together, everyone was unfamiliar with each other. But after living together for a while, issues began to arise–namely, one roommate was quite the “green tea” type, and very petty. Shen Xuan and two other roommates couldn’t stand her.

So now, Shen Xuan stayed on campus only 2-3 days a week, spending the rest of her time at home.

As soon as she entered the dorm, she saw that apart from her three roommates, there were several other female classmates from her class.

Six or seven people, chatting heatedly.

“Anyway, the two of them were ultimately dragged away, without even getting the chance to explain.”

“Not only that, did you see the public reprimand? The reason given was ridiculous. That wasn’t a reprimand–that was public execution!”

“Speaking of which, her boyfriend is ridiculously handsome! So charming, too. If I had a boyfriend like that… emmm, I’d wake up laughing from my dreams.”

“Wake up! First, you need to have Chen Xinyu’s looks and figure.”

“What’s her boyfriend’s name again?”

“The student council was at today’s ceremony for the new building unveiling, right? I think his name’s Shen Yuan.”

Huh?

When they mentioned Chen Xinyu earlier, Shen Xuan already wanted to jump into the conversation. Now hearing her own brother’s name, she couldn’t hold back: “Wait, who are you guys talking about?”

Everyone turned to look at her. “Shen Yuan… Oh, hey, Shen Xuan, aren’t you close with Chen Xinyu? You must know her boyfriend, right?”

“Hold on, can someone tell me what happened this afternoon?”

Shen Xuan was now extremely curious–she felt like she’d missed out on something big.

After listening to her roommates recount the events, Shen Xuan’s heart bled. During the type of moment meant for public glory, as Shen Yuan’s biological younger sister, she hadn’t been there?

She missed out on a fortune! Ughhh!

“Hey, doesn’t anyone notice that Shen Xuan sounds a lot like Shen Yuan?” someone suddenly asked.

“You’re right–same surname and similar vowels.”

“Wait a second, Shen Xuan and Shen Yuan… Shen Xuan and Chen Xinyu are also close friends.”

“The more you think about it, the scarier it gets…”

Everyone collectively turned to look at Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan took a deep breath. Fine, if she couldn’t bask in major glory, she could at least bask in minor glory.

Facing the surprised faces around her, Shen Xuan raised her chin high: “That’s right. I am Shen Yuan’s biological sister!”

When she said “biological,” Shen Xuan intentionally emphasized the word.

Listen carefully, not a cousin, not a distant relative–biological sister!

Everyone’s faces first showed shock, then suspicion, but quickly followed with a look of realization. “Whoa, so he’s really your brother!”

“Now that you mention it, you two do look a bit alike.”

“I knew it–no wonder Shen Xuan comes to college in a sports car!”

“So Chen Xinyu’s actually your sister-in-law. No wonder you’re so close to her.”

“……”

Everyone didn’t even overthink it–all of it seemed to add up perfectly. Shen Xuan’s wardrobe, makeup, and skincare products were all luxury-brand items, and she drove a sports car to school.

Nowadays, there weren’t too many rich students driving to college. But sports cars? At Nanzhong University, you could count them on one hand.

The group now looked at Shen Xuan with envy and admiration. A brother who’s rich, powerful, and impossibly handsome.

If Shen Xuan had bad grades, it’d be one thing. But she was genuinely accepted into the school based on her academic performance.

That’s what really made people lose heart!

“Shen Xuan, your life is amazing. How are you rich and hardworking at the same time?”

“Has your brother always been so handsome? When did he and Chen Xinyu start dating?”

“Your sister-in-law is the same age as you, right? Did your brother meet her through you?”

Shen Xuan soaked up the compliments around her until she started losing herself. She thought to herself, “So this is what it feels like to bask in the glory in front of others, huh.”

If I could show off not just in front of my dorm, but my whole class–or even the whole school–that’d be euphoric!

But hearing the words “Chen Xinyu” and “sister-in-law” together, her brow furrowed.

Xinyu and my brother, are they really a thing?

My brother’s actually dating someone right under his nose? Does Mrs. Nana know? She watches him so closely–how did he pull this off?

Is Xinyu even into this voluntarily? So now, should I start calling Xinyu “sister-in-law”?

But she’s younger than me by a few months!

Shen Xuan enjoyed the group’s praise for a while, dodged the details about Shen Yuan and Chen Xinyu with vague answers, promised to treat everyone to a meal in a couple of days, and then walked out to the corridor to call Chen Xinyu.
