The next day.

When her roommate returned from class, she found Su Wenxue in the dormitory. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Wenxue, what are you doing in the dormitory? I remember you had a full schedule of classes this afternoon."

Su Wenxue was applying lipstick in front of the mirror when she said, "I've taken the day off."

"Didn't you just invite her yesterday?"

Su Wenxue lowered her eyes, closed the lipstick cap, and then put the lipstick into the bag she had just bought yesterday. Her tone was quite nonchalant: "Anyway, it won't matter if I ask you to come once or twice, especially since it's a public course."

"Okay." Her roommate nodded, looking at her carefully dressed up. "Are you going on a date?"

Su Wenxue hummed in agreement, picked up a comb and brushed her hair a few times, then stood up, slung her bag over her shoulder, and walked towards the door. "Let's go."

Ten minutes later, Su Wenxue appeared at the school gate.

There are quite a few students coming and going at the school gate at this time.

She could clearly feel the gazes of passersby falling on her, whether intentionally or not.

She naturally noticed that many girls' eyes were fixed on the bag she was carrying, which greatly satisfied her vanity.

Su Wenxue straightened her back and walked towards the sports car parked by the roadside.

Li Zheyuan's eyes lit up as he watched the girl get on the bus, and he whistled, "You look so beautiful today."

Su Wenxue fastened her seatbelt, turned her head to look at him, and said shyly, "Really?"

Li Zheyuan suddenly leaned over and pressed down on her, then lowered his head to kiss her red lips, his hands not idle either.

One hand covered her breasts through her clothes, while the other hand lifted her skirt and caressed her thighs, moving upwards.

Su Wenxue was enjoying the kiss, but when she suddenly noticed the man's hand movements, her watery eyes filled with panic.

We kissed yesterday too, but it wasn't like this...

And there are passersby coming and going outside.

She pressed her hands against his chest, struggling slightly, "No..."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Zheyuan's lustful eyes, but he said nothing, licked his lips, and sat back down.

Su Wenxue hurriedly straightened her skirt, then cautiously looked up at him, afraid of upsetting him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she bit her lip and whispered, "Not in the car."

Li Zheyuan wiped the lipstick off his lips, somewhat surprised. He curled his lips into a smile and said in an ambiguous tone, "You mean I can do that in other places?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wenxue's cheeks flushed even more. She lowered her head, twisting her fingers, and remained silent.

Li Zheyuan smiled, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and took her hand. "Want to come to my place tonight?"

Su Wenxue lowered her eyelashes slightly, bit her lip, and responded softly, "Mmm."

...

Half an hour later, at Blue Moon Club.

Qin Mingyue glanced at the girl sitting next to Li Zheyuan, her brows furrowing imperceptibly. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't quite place her.

Li Zheyuan was the first to speak, introducing, "My girlfriend, Su Wenxue, is also from Tsinghua University."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mingyue remembered where she had seen him before; it turned out they had trained together during military training.

He lowered his eyes and gave a rather indifferent "hmm," already used to this and not taking his so-called "girlfriend" seriously at all.

After all, they weren't from the same circle. In their eyes, girls like Su Wenxue were just playthings, and no one wanted to be friends with such a thing.

Li Zheyuan thought she was in a bad mood and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Miss Qin? Did Shi Miao upset you again?"

Upon hearing the name Shi Miao, Su Wenxue's expression showed a hint of surprise, and she subconsciously blurted out, "Shi Miao?"

Qin Mingyue frowned slightly, looked up at her, and said coldly, "You know her?"

Su Wenxue felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze. She gripped her bag strap tightly, pursed her lips, and, not wanting them to know about her disciplinary action, blurted out in a moment of panic, "Yeah, we're from the same dorm."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Zheyuan's eyes. "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

Su Wenxue lowered her eyelids, concealing the panic in her eyes, and said softly, "You didn't ask me either."

Qin Mingyue thoughtfully withdrew her gaze, but did not ask anything further.

Su Wenxue breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this, but she could also tell from the conversation that this Miss Qin in front of her probably disliked Shi Miao very much.

The day of the competition arrived quickly.

The weather was clear and sunny, the sky was as blue as a sheet of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds, as if melted by the sun, floated slowly in the wind, like a beautiful oil painting.

The area around the competition venue has been cordoned off, and police are stationed at the entrances and exits. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach, demonstrating the importance attached to this competition.

When Shi Miao arrived, quite a few blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign athletes had already entered the building one after another.

Shen Yan glanced at the building in front of him, took a deep breath, and patted the girl next to him on the shoulder. "Shi Miao, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You should know your previous results in China; you've never made it to the finals. Just do your best, and I believe in you."

Shi Miao zipped her jacket all the way up to cover half her face, pulled her baseball cap down a little lower, and gave a faint "hmm".

Shen Yan: "Let's go in."

"Okay." Shi Miao nodded and followed Shen Yan into the building.

The competition was held on the second floor in five rooms, with about twenty people in each room and a computer on each table.

Two staff members were standing at the door of the room, checking identity information and inspecting personal belongings.

After Shi Miao finished her inspection, she went inside. The room was almost full of people, and surveillance equipment was installed all around.

She glanced at the few empty seats, walked leisurely to one of them, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Before the competition, Shi Miao had already checked the participants, and they were all people on the hacker leaderboard.

It might be quite challenging for others, but for her, I'm sorry, it wasn't challenging at all.

Because she is M.

Ten minutes later, the match officially began.

All the computers in the room went black instantly, and the next second, the word "virus" appeared on the screen.

Meanwhile, five LCD computers were set up in the lobby on the first floor, corresponding to the scenes in the five rooms.

When Shen Yan saw the word "virus," his eyes widened involuntarily, filled with astonishment. He muttered to himself, "How could this be the topic?"

Moreover, the rules given for the competition are simple and straightforward.

The contestants in each room simultaneously create virus software to attack each other's computers, and the last one remaining is the winner.

That means only five contestants will make it to the finals.

Shen Yan stared anxiously at the surveillance footage of Shi Miao's room, his face turning pale.

He hadn't practiced these kinds of questions with Shi Miao, and he didn't know if she knew the answer.
