The Ice Queen's Secret Romance

**Chapter 3: A Man's Jacket**

**Chapter 3: A Man's Jacket**

Despite this, Shenqiao's otherworldly good looks still drew the attention of many girls. One girl blushed and walked over. "Classmate, could I have your WeChat?"

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

Shenqiao refused with a smile. He was clearly used to this kind of thing.

The girl left regretfully.

"Oh my god."

Wangdachui said enviously, "Why don't any girls come asking me for WeChat?"

"You want girls to ask you for WeChat?"

"Then you need to work out. Perfect muscles naturally attract girls."

That came from Lihaoyang.

"Hey, Shenqiao, do you really have a girlfriend?"

Wangdachui's eyes darted around as he asked.

"I have a girlfriend."

Shenqiao stated it flatly.

His tone was heavy, with no hint of joking.

Luoye glanced at him silently but said nothing.

After the meal, they fell into chatting mode.

"Do you guys know the beauty rankings at Jiangda?"

Wangdachui threw out a topic, but obviously, aside from him, the other three seemed uninterested in women.

"I don't know." Luoye naively took the bait.

Wangdachui's eyes lit up. "Kid, you're very sensible."

"Each college at Jiangda has its own belle. For example, the belle of the Economics and Management school is a junior named Qinyuwen. She ranks fourth on Jiangda's beauty list."

Qinyuwen? "Qinyu what?" Luoye asked, puzzled. "Why 'Yu'? Why not 'Math'? Isn't that name a bit random?"

"It's just a homophone. Why are you being so pedantic?"

Wangdachui rolled his eyes.

"There are photos of Qin Xuejie on Jiangda's forum. She's really beautiful."

Wangdachui pulled out his phone and showed a photo of Qinyuwen.

The first thing that caught the eye was a set of campus portraits. The girl was indeed pure and lovely. Even the muscle man Lihaoyang was drawn in.

The last photo was a candid shot of Qinyuwen walking on campus.

But the photo accidentally captured another girl.

Only her profile was visible, but her stunning beauty was still evident. She was tall, and her formal suit couldn't hide her figure. Even compared to Qinyuwen, she was no less—if not more—beautiful.

She looked like the senior from yesterday.

Seeing Luoye's eyes fixated, Wangdachui pulled his phone back and guarded it like a dog protecting its bone. "Luoye, let's get this straight. Sister Qinyuan is mine. Don't you dare think about her."

"Tch. You think you deserve her?"

"What did you say?"

"You're a perfect match. The best match."

Luoye was being insincere, but he still asked curiously, "Who's the girl next to Sister Qinyuan in that last photo?"

At that, Wangdachui looked at Luoye with considerable disdain.

"That's the star of Jiangda right now. Her name is Subaizhou. But I suggest you don't ask too much."

"She's a prodigy in computer science. Countless candid photos alone have earned her the title of Jiangda's campus belle. Even Qinyuwen looks like a mere leaf next to her."

"She's won many awards, led the computer science department to its current glory, naturally became the president of Jiangda's student union, and secured early graduate admission."

"I've heard she's extremely aloof. Countless brave souls who confessed to her never got close."

"So don't even think about it. Someone like her is out of our league."

Hearing this, Shenqiao and Lihaoyang looked surprised.

"That senior is amazing."

"Truly outstanding."

Luoye fell into thought.

The senior he had met that day was that amazing?

But she didn't have a boyfriend...

Those words kept echoing in Luoye's mind.

"There's also a big beauty among us freshmen. They say she's the freshman belle. Her name is Tangenqi. Though not as stunning as Subaizhou, she's only a step behind."

Wangdachui noticed Luoye's expression had dimmed and tried to comfort him. "Don't lose hope, Wild kid. Once I win over all these goddesses, I'll share one with you."

"Get lost." Luoye was speechless.

After the meal, they wandered around campus and the track, then returned to the dorm.

That evening, after picking up their military training uniforms, they went to the classroom and sat in a row.

Computer science department, Computer Networks Class 1.

All four of them were in this major.

A young face walked up to the podium.

"Hello, classmates. I'm your counselor for the next four years, Chen Xiongjian."

"I know this is everyone's first time in college. Coincidentally, it's also my first time as a counselor. You're my first class."

"I just graduated with my master's degree. I'm barely qualified to be your counselor. For the next four years, let's learn together."

"Today, we're mainly going to introduce ourselves. Starting tomorrow, we'll have two weeks of military training. If anyone can't participate for medical reasons, let me know, and I'll make a note."

"Also, after military training, we'll have class monitor elections. But for now, we need to temporarily select an acting class monitor. Is anyone willing to volunteer?"

The students buzzed with discussion.

"You go."

Luoye's eyes widened in disbelief at Wangdachui.

"You want me to be acting class monitor?"

"Wangdachui, I never expected you to look decent on the outside but be like this behind the scenes."

Half a minute passed, and still no one raised their hand.

Being acting class monitor didn't guarantee becoming the actual class monitor later, and they would have to handle various trivial matters during training. It was a thankless task, so naturally no one wanted it.

Chen Xiongjian scanned the room. For some reason, his eyes landed on Lihaoyang, who was muscular, slightly dark-skinned, and had a buzz cut.

"The fourth student in the left row, first seat. You're a veteran, right?"

Lihaoyang, caught off guard, stood up. The whole class turned to look at him.

Ah! A muscle man!

"I'm not."

"Oh, you're so built that the teacher thought you were a veteran."

"Well, if there's no problem, you'll be the acting class monitor."

With that, Chen Xiongjian didn't give Lihaoyang a chance to respond.

"Everyone has seen this classmate. If you have any issues during training, you can report them to him. If he can't solve them, he can come to me."

"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"Teacher, his name is Lihaoyang!"

Wangdachui shouted, looking incredibly excited, as if he would do anything for his brother.

"Scan the class group QR code. If there's nothing else, you can go back. Lihaoyang, compile the list of students who can't participate in training in the group chat."

"Fine."

Lihaoyang looked helpless. He hadn't even had a chance to refuse.

Of course, he wouldn't dare refuse the counselor in front of the whole class.

The counselor had played it smart.

"Back to the dorm?"

"No way. Let's go to the track and look at girls."

Wangdachui persuaded them, and they went to the track.

Shenqiao was reluctant.

His face, as handsome as a male celebrity's, attracted too much attention.

The moment he appeared on the track, every girl's gaze was on him.

Wave after wave of girls came to ask for his contact information.

"This... is a bit exaggerated."

After walking around the track twice and watching Shenqiao reject over a dozen girls, Wangdachui finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Don't the girls on the track see how handsome and dashing your Hammer Bro is?"

The other three were speechless.

"Our fresh meat Luoye and the fitness coach haven't said anything yet. Where do you get the confidence to call yourself handsome?"

Shenqiao's rebuttal was merciless.

Wangdachui immediately turned to retort, but facing Shenqiao's stunningly handsome face, he gradually became mesmerized.

"Whoa, what's that look? Get away!"

Shenqiao shuddered.

"I'm just joking. You don't really think I like men, do you?"

Wangdachui's smile was extremely sly.

Girls' dorm.

Qinyuwen was scrolling through her phone with a face mask on.

She saw a post on Jiangda's confession wall with a photo of a boy and the caption:

"The boy I saw at the third cafeteria today is way too handsome."

Qinyuwen zoomed in on the photo, examined it carefully, and her eyes lit up.

"A heartthrob from every angle."

The photo was, of course, of the male celebrity Shenqiao.

"Zhouzhou, come look. Since when did our school have such a handsome guy?"

Beside her, a girl in a camisole dress with large black glasses was reading *The Complete Sherlock Holmes*.

Her aloof face, combined with the cute oversized glasses, created an indescribable contrasting beauty that was uniquely charming.

Subaizhou didn't respond to Qinyuwen. She had no interest in men. None at all.

"Zhouzhou, just look. He's really handsome. What if you like him? You can't stay single forever without ever finding a boyfriend."

Qinyuwen put her phone in front of Subaizhou. Subaizhou gave it a perfunctory glance.

Suddenly, she paused, staring at Shenqiao's photo.

But her gaze wasn't on Shenqiao.

Silence.

Qinyuwen looked as if she had witnessed something incredible, staring at Subaizhou in disbelief.

She had wanted to share a good man with her best friend, but she had never imagined Subaizhou would actually be interested.

Subaizhou? Interested in a man?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The look in Subaizhou's eyes was fleeting. She quickly turned back to *The Complete Sherlock Holmes*, as if nothing had happened.

"Zhouzhou! Don't pretend!" Qinyuwen grabbed Subaizhou's arm excitedly. "Are you finally interested in men?"

"No."

"Keep pretending. Wasn't that you looking at a man just now?"

Qinyuwen felt like she had discovered a huge secret.

Was the ice-cold beauty finally about to experience spring?

"What?"

Subaizhou asked calmly. "What man?"

Qinyuwen: ...

Keep pretending.

But that boy really was handsome.

Qinyuwen looked at Shenqiao's photo again.

In the photo, Shenqiao was eating, completely unaware he was being photographed.

Perhaps because he was so dazzling, many people didn't notice that Luoye, sitting next to him, was also handsome.

After removing her face mask, Qinyuwen went to wash her face.

She suddenly noticed a man's jacket in the laundry basket beside her.

A man's jacket in the girls' dorm—what was wrong with that?

Nothing.

But Qinyuwen was shocked.

Because this laundry basket belonged to Subaizhou.

Even though Subaizhou had already rented an apartment outside, she hadn't moved all her things yet.

"Zhouzhou!!"

A voice several decibels higher than before came from the bathroom.

Subaizhou's hand paused slightly. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't washed that jacket yet...

But it wasn't a big deal. Qinyuwen was cute and clueless—easy to fool.

Qinyuwen came out and demanded, "Zhouzhou, whose man's jacket is that?"

"Guess?"

"???"

Qinyuwen's curiosity was bursting, but Subaizhou's attitude drove her crazy.

"Tell me!"

"I bought it myself."

"I don't believe you!"

"Believe it or not."

"Ahhh!!"

Qinyuwen was frustrated, but she had no choice.

On the other side.

Luoye and the others returned to the dorm.

"Let me see how good my three sons are."

Wangdachui decisively decided to have the first dorm gaming session.

They opened their phones.

Cluck!

A chicken crowed.

"Luoye, you're the only one left. I'll invite you to the team."

Click invite.

Luoye accepted.

The next moment, a golden light burst from their phones, nearly blinding them.

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

Wangdachui, Shenqiao, and Lihaoyang stared at Luoye in shock.

"You're the elimination leaderboard champ? The invincible war god Luoye Guigen?"

"Yeah."

"Carry us, master!"

"I want to reach war god too!"

"Let's do four-man squad. Land at military base and fight!"

"Whoa, golden legend!"

Wangdachui looked at the golden Maserati in Luoye's game and drooled with envy.

...

"Go, Shenqiao! You old camper!"

"What do you know? Camping nurtures success. Camping conquers all."

"Haoyang, what are you doing? Heal me! Heal me!"

But Lihaoyang was still looting. Wangdachui had crawled to his feet, and he hadn't even noticed.

The next moment, a grenade flew in, ending both his and Wangdachui's lives.

Luoye looked at the three of them helplessly.

"None of you have any game sense. Watch me."

Luoye's moves were like a raging fire—peek shots, pre-fires, instant grenades, crouch spams—all executed smoothly.

Finally, he wiped the enemy squad.

"See, that's what skill looks like."

Wangdachui was immensely proud, as if he had been the one to wipe the squad.

"Holy crap."

Luoye suddenly swore. On the screen, someone from hundreds of meters away had headshot him with a single AK burst.

"Hacker!"

No matter how skilled a player, they would eventually fall to technology.

The fun night ended with their excited gaming session.

Late at night, Luoye turned on his computer and started writing.
