Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera

Modu University’s freshmen gala was typically held on the final night of military training. In addition to the freshmen, most of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors would also attend.

A new batch of fresh blood had just entered the university, and they were at their most naive and innocent stage. Many of the upperclassmen and upperclasswomen hoped to seize this opportunity to find a target and see if they could charm one away...

After all, by the time the freshmen became sophomores and got used to university life, they wouldn’t be so easy to fool.

"I heard there’s a super handsome junior among the freshmen. This old senior is here to take a look today. I hope he doesn’t disappoint me~"

"You old hag, trying to rob the cradle again? He already has a girlfriend, so forget about it!"

"This batch of freshmen seems pretty high-quality. They’re all good-looking. I’ll lay my cards on the table—I’ve got my eye on that junior named Luo Yue. I’m gonna see if I can get a chance to ask for her WeChat."

...

The upperclassmen were seated in the back rows, while the front was reserved for the freshmen. After all, the freshmen were the stars of the gala.

As time passed, the freshmen gala began.

The lights in the venue suddenly dimmed. Then, beams of light shot out from all directions, weaving together across the hall into all sorts of dazzling and beautiful patterns.

The first performance of the freshmen gala was a hot dance number by the sophomore girls. When pairs of long, pale legs appeared on stage, the eyes of many freshmen went wide.

It couldn’t be helped. Those legs... Ahem, the lights were just too bright!

As the explosive dance music started, the upperclasswomen began to dance wildly, looking exceptionally sexy under the colorful lights.

The atmosphere in the venue reached a fever pitch, and the freshmen couldn’t help but let out wave after wave of screams.

In the backstage prep room, Ye Ling tilted his head as he watched the performance on stage—or to be more precise, as he watched the lead dancer.

’I have a vague impression of this senior. Isn’t that the one who asked for my WeChat on registration day?’

’I think her name was Qin Xuan...’

"Are they nice to look at?"

Ning Ruoxi, sitting beside Ye Ling, shot him a look that was not entirely friendly.

"Not nice at all. Not worth looking at. And no matter how nice they look, they’re not as beautiful as you!"

Faced with a life-or-death question, Ye Ling delivered a life-saving, three-part combo without hesitation. His will to survive was off the charts!

Ning Ruoxi huffed to herself but spoke aloud.

"You don’t think they’re nice to look at? I think they look great!"

"Right? I actually think so too..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Ye Ling hadn’t even finished his sentence when he felt an icy glare from his side, and he immediately snapped his mouth shut.

At that moment, he could feel a giant word written on his forehead: ’DANGER’!

"That lead dancer is the senior who asked for your WeChat before, right? Why don’t you give it to her?"

Ning Ruoxi said with a beaming smile.

Although she was smiling, a chill ran down Ye Ling’s entire body.

’Damn it.’ He had a premonition that if he nodded right now, Ning Ruoxi would probably slice him up on the spot!

The crucial part was that Ye Ling hadn’t expected this little rascal Ning Ruoxi to start playing mind games. He’d let his guard down for a second and actually fell for her trap!

’She must have learned these bad habits from Luo Yue!’

Ye Ling thought deviously to himself. ’When I get back, I’m definitely going to have to discipline that little fool. I can’t let her teach Ning Ruoxi everything.’

"Sigh, alright, I’ll be honest. The seniors do have great figures, and their dancing is beautiful. It would be a lie to say my heart wasn’t moved. But... being moved is a man’s instinct. Being faithful is my choice."

Ye Ling lifted his head, gazing at Ning Ruoxi, his expression full of deep affection as he spoke.

Initially, when Ning Ruoxi heard the first half of Ye Ling’s speech, the cold glint in her eyes was sharp enough to pierce right through him.

But when she heard his last sentence, the coldness in her eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a deep tenderness.

With that move, Brother Ling had clutched a win from the brink of defeat!

In one word: awesome!

Seeing Ning Ruoxi’s expression gradually soften and her gaze grow gentle, Ye Ling finally let out a sigh of relief.

In reality, his back was already drenched in a cold sweat. ’Damn, it’s a good thing I’m quick-witted, or I would’ve met my end here today.’

He had to admit, girlfriends were truly the most terrifying creatures on this planet!

Meanwhile, Ning Ruoxi was still immersed in what Ye Ling had just said... His words were indeed very reasonable, and very sincere.

You often see it with young couples. The girl asks the guy, "Do you like that girl over there?" The guy will definitely say no, but he can’t help but steal another glance or two at her long, straight legs.

This is all instinct. Anyone who says they don’t like it is definitely lying, just to placate you.

But there are so many beautiful women out there. Does that mean you have to hit on every single one and try to get them into bed?

That would make you a certified scumbag!

So, this is where choice comes into play.

If you have a sense of responsibility, you will refuse even the greatest temptations.

There’s a saying that goes, "I might not be able to resist a gorgeous woman lying naked in my bed, but I can stop her from entering my room in the first place."

That is responsibility.

"Let’s rehearse one more time."

Ning Ruoxi’s heart was filled with sweetness now, and her gaze toward Ye Ling was brimming with tenderness.

Ye Ling nodded and casually picked up the guitar beside him.

Their performance was scheduled as the final, headlining act of the gala.

After all, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi were extremely famous now. In fact, many people had come today specifically for their public displays of affection!

Ye Ling skillfully played the guitar while Ning Ruoxi began to hum softly. In that moment, many of the people backstage who were preparing for their own acts stopped what they were doing.

They watched as the boy looked down, strumming his guitar, while the girl watched him, humming a moving melody with a sweet smile on her lips...

The scene was timeless and beautiful.

And just like that, before they even went on stage, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi had already force-fed everyone backstage a huge dose of their PDA!

When the song ended, the crowd was still immersed in the music.

Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi weren’t just good-looking; they were also multi-talented...

This undoubtedly made everyone even more envious!

"Brother Ling, Sister Ruoxi, could you stop with the lovey-dovey stuff? You’re making it hard for the rest of us to get in the mood to prepare," a girl said, walking over with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi’s pretty face flushed red, and she couldn’t help but lower her head.

Ye Ling, however, just smiled, saying nothing as he watched Ning Ruoxi’s shy, blushing expression.

His gaze was incredibly gentle.

At this, the corner of the girl’s mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile.

’This serving of PDA... I’ll gladly take it!’
