Huayu: I really am a genuine top star.

Chapter 74 My points! I painstakingly accumulated them through daily check-ins!

Turning my head, I saw Xiao Zhao.

Today, this woman with a peach-shaped butt wore a tight-fitting white knitted short-sleeved top with an elegant V-neck, revealing her delicate collarbone and a patch of fair and smooth skin.

The barely visible cleavage, outlined by the knitted fabric, was unfathomably deep and magnificent.

She tucked the hem of her short-sleeved shirt into a denim pencil skirt, which was so tight that it clearly outlined the curves of her round, perky buttocks.

Her two long, white, and straight legs still shone brightly under the dim lights of the cafeteria.

Sitting by the window, Chong Shenli waved with a smile.

That smile was so sweet it could cloy you; her peach blossom eyes curved into crescent moons, and her gaze carried a captivating charm that evoked pity in the viewer.

Shen Li's internal alarm bells rang. This...

Why are you here again?

During the last physical education class, he used "I've already made an appointment with Jiang Li" as a shield, thinking he could get away with it for a few days.

Unexpectedly, they had no intention of letting him go, and they "bumped into" each other again in the cafeteria.

"Xiao Zhao, what a coincidence!"

Shen Li walked over with her tray, her face plastered with her signature harmless smile, her tone so natural, as if it were truly just a chance encounter.

"It's quite a coincidence."

Xiao Zhao looked at him with a smile, her gaze falling on the pile of braised pork on his plate. "You eat so much meat? Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

"Hi, I've been training my physical fitness lately, so I need to eat more protein."

Shen Li sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started shoveling rice into her mouth. Her eating manner was incredibly unrestrained, as if she hadn't eaten for three days.

Xiao Zhao watched him eat, her chin resting on her hand, a hint of a smile flashing in her peach blossom eyes: "You're training in physical fitness? Are you with Xiong Rui, the one who majors in martial arts?"

Shen Li's heart skipped a beat. This woman's intelligence work is impressive; she even knows he and Xiong Rui are training in physical fitness?

"Yes, yes, Brother Xiong will take me," he mumbled, his mouth full of meat.

"Every morning at 5:30, on the track, 5 kilometers, core strength, flexibility, the whole set. I trained until my whole body ached, like I'd been through the wringer by the Eighteen Bronze Men."

Shen Li exaggerated in order to make Xiao Zhao think that she was a "fool who only knows how to build muscle" and reduce his "hunting interest".

But Xiao Zhao's reaction was unexpected.

Her eyes lit up, and she leaned forward slightly. The neckline of her tight-fitting knitted short-sleeved shirt drooped slightly because of this movement, making her deep cleavage even more visible.

The full, rounded curves gleamed with a delicate sheen under the light, making Shen Li quickly lower her head and start eating.

"5:30? You're pushing yourself too hard!" Xiao Zhao's tone carried a hint of admiration, but also a hint of...heartache?

"What time do you go to bed at night? Are you getting enough sleep? I see you have dark circles under your eyes."

Shen Li: "???"

This...this style is off! Logically speaking, if he acts like a "dumb guy who only knows how to build muscle," shouldn't girls find him boring?

Why am I suddenly more concerned about him? ...What kind of tactic is this?

Shen Li's mind raced.

Xiao Zhao seems to be good at "fishing," and his best skill is using gentleness and thoughtfulness as bait to make people fall into the trap without realizing it.

This current wave of "concern" is probably part of the bait.

"It's alright, I'm used to it." Shen Li chuckled and changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Zhao, what class did you have this afternoon?"

"Acting fundamentals, huh? It's all thanks to Teacher Yan's class." Xiao Zhao sighed. "Last time with the impromptu skit, Teacher Yan said my emotional outbursts weren't strong enough, and told me to practice more. That's what I'm really worried about."

Shen Li's heart skipped a beat. Emotional outbursts? Wasn't that Jiang Li's forte?

That dance student, though not talkative usually, is absolutely explosive when she's on stage, with her emotional intensity and physical expressiveness.

"Why don't you ask Jiang Li for advice?" Shen Li suggested, "She has a particularly strong ability to express emotions. Last time, Teacher Yan praised her for her impromptu skit."

Xiao Zhao's smile froze slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Jiang Li... she is indeed very capable. However, I'm not very familiar with her, and it would be awkward for me to approach her so abruptly."

Shen Li discerned several layers of meaning in those words.

First, Xiao Zhao and Jiang Li weren't really close. Second, Xiao Zhao didn't really want to find Jiang Li. Third... she preferred to find Shen Li.

"How about this?" Shen Li's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her.

"Our 'Grain Run' platform is about to launch a 'Performance Coaching' service, and Jiang Li is among the first batch of 'Celebrity Coaches' to join. When the service launches, you can place an order on the platform and specify Jiang Li as the coach—it'll be perfectly legitimate, right? You won't owe anyone a favor, and you'll learn something at the same time. A win-win situation!"

He spoke with such sincerity and consideration for the other party; his expression was a perfect example of "serving customers wholeheartedly."

Xiao Zhao stared at him for two seconds, then burst out laughing. Her laughter was so loud it made her body tremble, and the full curves of her breasts, encased in a tight-fitting knitted short-sleeved shirt, heaved violently, making Shen Li see stars.

"Shen Li, you really are..." She shook her head, her tone tinged with both helplessness and admiration.

"You can't stop talking about 'LiLiPao' (a product name). Okay, I'll place an order when it's available on your platform. But you have to give me a discount."

"No problem! Xiao Zhao said it has to be 20% off!" Shen Li patted her chest to assure him, but in her heart she was thinking:

20% off? My prices were already inflated to begin with, so even with a 20% discount, I still make a profit.

After finishing her meal, Shen Li made an excuse that she "had to deliver food to Dai Xiao" and slipped away with the takeout she had packed for Dai Xiao. As she walked out of the cafeteria, she let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that her back was completely soaked with sweat.

This lady with the peach-shaped butt is truly skilled. She's gentle and considerate, aloof yet approachable, and capable of both offense and defense. Every step she takes walks a tightrope between being irresistible and unpredictable.

Someone with weaker self-control would have been completely infatuated and lost all sense of direction long ago.

"What a pity," Shen Li clicked his tongue, "Your 'fish-raising method' has met its match with my 'steel bones,' you've really hit a brick wall."

Back in the dormitory, Dai Xiao was typing code on his computer, the clatter of the keyboard sounding like firecrackers.

Jingyang lay on the bed scrolling through his phone, his face covered with that bamboo charcoal mask that "supposedly dissolves when rinsed with water," making him look as black as a lump of coal.

Yang Yi isn't here; he's probably at the library again.

"Brother Xiao, here's your lunch." Shen Li placed the boxed lunch on Dai Xiao's table.

Dai Xiao didn't even look up: "Put it there. I'm fixing a bug."

"What bug this time?"

"The points system." Dai Xiao pushed up his glasses, his voice still flat. "Jing Yang just tested it. He tried to redeem a service using points, but the points were deducted and the service wasn't generated. He tried three times, losing three times the points, and the service was still empty."

Jingyang poked his "coal-colored" head out from the top bunk and wailed, "My points! I worked so hard to accumulate them by signing in! Shen Li, you have to make it up to me!"

"What compensation? It's just a test phase; the points aren't real money." Shen Li rolled her eyes at him. "Brother Xiao, is this bug serious?"

"Moderately severe".

Dai Xiao tapped a few times on the keyboard. "It's a database transaction rollback issue. When the user clicked 'redeem,' the frontend sent three requests, but the backend didn't handle idempotency, causing points to be deducted repeatedly even though the service only generated the data once. We're fixing it now."
