Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 171 Clinging to a Powerful Figure—A Wild Man? ? ?

Shi Sui looked up at him intently. The boy had very fair skin and a pair of clear, cool eyes, like a spring in the deep mountains in winter.

His skin no longer looked as pale and sickly as when we first met, and I haven't heard him cough or be sick recently.

Is your health much better now?

In Shi Sui's eyes, Xu Chaomu was a very, very good person. At first, she thought he was aloof and didn't communicate with his classmates. But after being in the same class as him, she found that he actually got along well with his classmates. He would greet them and lend them his homework to copy.

She is not a cold person; she speaks and smiles very gently.

But why do I have no desire to live?

why?

Shi Sui sadly realized that she didn't seem to know or care about him that much.

She thought he was healthy, but the system said he was weak and didn't take care of his health.

She thought he couldn't possibly have some kind of mental problem, but the system said he had no desire to live.

……

Her gaze lingered on his face, and Xu Chaomu was also looking at her.

In that instant eye contact, he saw the intense sadness and grief in her eyes, but it wasn't as if she was looking at him; it was as if she were seeing the future through him.

He waved his hand in front of her face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Xu Chaomu." Shi Sui looked him up and down and asked, "How have you been lately?"

"Everything's fine, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"It's nothing." Shi Sui shook her head, turned around and continued queuing, whispering to herself, "I've already made a wish for you."

Not everything will unfold as the novel's original plot suggests.

She was lucky enough to encounter the system, which helped her change her fate.

Shisui Stamp System: [System System.]

[What's wrong, host?]

[I'm not going to get rich overnight, but I earn quite a lot of money now, and I'm content.]

[Host, didn't you say yesterday that you never have too much money and that you'd ruin the Gu family to become a billionaire?]

The system whispered again: [You also have your eye on Gu's real estate company, and you want me to use all my strength and means to get it for you if you win the gold medal at this winter camp.]

Shi Sui paused for a moment. Yesterday, she searched for the Gu Group's businesses, which included more than a dozen companies of varying sizes. Most of these companies had strong foundations, but only one real estate company, a sunset industry, was relatively easy to target.

She begged and pleaded with the system for a long time before it finally agreed to get it for her.

"[It doesn't matter anymore.]" Shi Sui said, "[Meeting you has made me incredibly lucky. From having nothing at the beginning, I now have good achievements, a foundation company, and can donate to help more people. I'm sure I'll be able to change my destiny and live a good life through my own efforts in the future.]"

The system paused, vaguely sensing that its host was acting strangely.

Shi Sui: [But Xu Chaomu wasn't as lucky as me; he didn't have a system to change his fate.]

Shi Sui: [So, System, could you please help him?]

The system picked up a megaphone and accused: [!!! Host, are you abandoning me! Making me go help some random guy, huh?!]

System: [Isn't getting rich your dream?! How could you give up your dream for some random guy?!]

Shi Sui was stunned. Just yesterday, the system called Xu Chaomu a genius and told her to follow him to learn problem-solving skills and thinking, saying that if she clung to his coattails, she could win a gold medal.

Now—a wild man? ???

Shi Sui: [I believe that if I study hard, I can succeed in the future on my own.]

[No!] the system shouted, interrupting.

Shi Sui: [But—]

The system interrupted again: [No buts! There's no way to unbind you; this system is locked to you! Locked to the brink!]

This was the first time Shi Sui had ever seen the system so agitated and so assertive, as if there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

She thought for a moment and asked, "[System, do you have any other colleagues?]"

Shi Sui: We can have the system introduce a colleague to Xu Chaomu.

[Hmm?] The system alerted, [No, no! This small world only contains this system!]

Is this system not good enough? Is it too stingy? Why does the host want to switch systems?

System: [Win a gold medal at winter camp, and this system will create a company for you!]

The line at the registration point quickly formed. Shi Sui filled out a form and received a promotional bag from a senior student, which contained a school map, brochures, winter camp schedules, and other materials.

The senior student was very enthusiastic: "Junior, how about I take you there? The hotel you're staying at is a bit hard to find."

"Yes, yes, we'll take you there."

They had just been intimidated by the aloof junior in front of them, but seeing Shi Sui's pure and sweet demeanor, and her absent-mindedness while waiting in line, they realized she was naive and easy to approach.

Shi Sui was still thinking about Xu Chaomu when she turned and left.

The senior student thought she was being silly and hadn't heard him, so he stepped forward and said, "Junior, let us show you around the campus later. Z University's campus is huge, and places are hard to find; it's easy to get lost."

Xu Chaomu stood in front of them, separating them from Shi Sui: "No, we'll get there ourselves."

Shi Sui looked up when she heard his voice.

"Let's go." Xu Chaomu walked beside her, speaking softly, "Shi Sui, why do you seem so absent-minded? Is something on your mind?"

"No." Shi Sui shook her head and saw Shangguan Ying frowning as several senior students approached her.

She rushed over, pulled Shangguan Ying aside, and angrily berated them: "Don't you understand human language if we don't add you on WeChat?!"

Shi Sui held Shangguan Ying's hand with her left hand, protecting her.

He tugged at Xu Chaomu's sleeve with his right hand: "Let's go, let's go check into our accommodations together."

Xu Chaomu glanced at Shangguan Ying without leaving a trace, and her figure gradually overlapped with Song Xinying's figure.

Tsk.

Then, Jiang Ming suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "Brother Xu, I'll take you to the hotel, and I'll treat you to dinner later!"

Xu Chaomu: "No need."

"This junior," Jiang Ming said, then looked at Shi Sui, "Shall I take you to the hotel? I'll treat you to dinner later?"

Shi Sui looked at Jiang Ming and then at Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu frowned slightly: "No need."

Shi Sui: "Okay."

She realized she didn't know much about Xu Chaomu and felt she could learn more about him from his 'employees'.

The two spoke almost simultaneously, both of them pausing for a moment in surprise.

Xu Chaomu nodded and said calmly, "Okay."

Jiang Ming was overjoyed, not because he could honorably fawn over his boss and treat him to dinner, but because—

He finally met the legendary, mysterious boss's wife!

Apart from the boss himself, only Brother Leopard has ever met the boss's wife in the entire company.

According to Brother Leopard.

The boss's wife is beautiful.

Both girls are very pretty.

The boss's emotions only fluctuate when it comes to his wife; his usually indifferent and aloof face will display different expressions.

He noticed the boss's new expression! Just as the girl said 'okay'—

The boss looked like he was about to stab him.
