Chapter 23: Su Qingyan, 19 Years Old, Is Actually Dating Soone!
[Author’s Note: It’s been a while since I’ve said anything. Asking for so flowers and ratings—currently at 222 rating votes. If we reach 300 by tomorrow at midnight, I’ll do 6 chapters. 500? 8 chapters. 700? 10 chapters. 1000? 15 chapters. (Okay, that last one might be unrealistic.)
I want to write a slow-burn, long novel. Before official release, it’s hard to gauge performance, so early on, I just hope for your support with free engagent. Every rating vote is motivation for !].
Ma Tengyun felt imnsely honored.
Praise from others?
h.
Even if it ca from Ding Xiaolei…
Or Ma Xiaoyun…
It wouldn’t an much.
But Li Mo’s approval?
That hit different.
“We’re in the startup phase now.”
“So it’s our duty to promote QQ with everything we’ve got!”
“Our goal? Cover every internet café within a hundred miles in a week!”
Li Mo patted Ma Tengyun’s shoulder.
“Not bad, Xiao Ma. Keep it up.”
“I’ve got high hopes for you.”
Ma Tengyun was floored.
Then, fueled by adrenaline, he charged toward a middle-schooler to pitch QQ.
But his excitent made him look deranged.
The poor kid nearly cried.
anwhile…
“Brother, I downloaded QQ too! Add !”
Su Qingyan changed her display na to “Qing Yan.”
Li Mo logged into his account—QQ #100—
Searched for #99, and sent a friend request.
“Now, even when I’m at school, I can chat with you!”
“I’ll leave you ssages whenever!”
Seeing her full userna—”Qing Yan QQ”—
Her heart swelled with sweetness.
Li Mo spoiled her rotten.
She started spamming him with emojis like a giddy teenager.
Li Mo, anwhile, analyzed QQ’s interface.
“It’s got its own charm.”
“But right now…”
“There’s still a lot to improve.”
Since it was just launched, he wasn’t in a rush.
Grab users first, refine later.
Sitting in the internet café,
Li Mo felt like he was back in college—
Sneaking out with dorm buddies for all-night gaming sessions.
“Yin Qiang works in the land auction departnt now, right?”
“I’ll call him soon.”
All four of his old roommates worked in Shenzhen.
But they rarely talked—
Only reuniting during holidays.
The land purchase…
Had to happen soon.
That night,
Su Qingyan lay in her luxurious new bedroom,
Surrounded by unfamiliarity,
Yet feeling completely at peace.
Her rabbit piggy bank sat beside her like a loyal guardian.
In the old house…
She couldn’t stop thinking about Li Mo and Su Xiaoxiao’s past.
All those years as husband and wife…
All those intimate monts.
The jealousy had been unbearable.
But now…
It was finally over.
No trace of Su Xiaoxiao remained.
Just new mories—created slowly, with Li Mo.
The next morning,
She attempted breakfast again.
This ti…
It was barely edible.
But Li Mo ate every bite.
Before heading to campus,
Su Qingyan raided her piggy bank,
Withdrew a stack of cash,
And marched to the school gate.
First stop—50 iced drinks.
Next—a print shop, where she ordered stacks of flyers with QQ’s URL, logo, and interface.
When she returned, arms full,
She enlisted the drink shop staff to help carry everything to the classroom.
The mont she stepped in—
“QINGYAN! Two days without you, and I was DYING!”
Her best friend, Liu Wei’er, pounced.
“As the campus belle, your absence left SO many hearts broken!”
In the past…
Talent scouts had tried recruiting Su Qingyan as an idol.
She always refused.
Her beauty?
Undisputed #1 at Shenzhen University.
And no one had ever co close.
“Everyone! Drinks on —one per person!”
Store-bought iced tea cost 7 yuan a cup.
Most students lived on 500-600 yuan a month.
Even 1000 yuan was considered well-off.
So free drinks?
The class erupted.
“Qingyan, did you strike gold?!”
“Iced tea in this heat? YOU’RE A SAINT!”
“Did your rich sister slip you a few thousand?!”
Everyone knew about Su Qingyan’s wealthy sister.
The ntion made her stiffen slightly.
“No!”
“Today, I’m announcing—I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!”
Silence.
Then—CHAOS.
Rumors had swirled about Su Qingyan walking intimately with a man on campus.
Everyone dismissed it as gossip.
But now?
Confird.
At the doorway—
A woman in her 30s, a teacher, froze mid-step.
Su Qingyan’s stomach dropped.
Oh no.
She’d forgotten—
Wu Lulu, her sister’s best friend, taught here.
Su Xiaoxiao’s success?
Wu Lulu’s connections played a huge part.
(Thanks to her rich husband’s network.)
Now?
Her sister would find out.
Her relationship with Li Mo—exposed.
But…
Wu Lulu didn’t know who the boyfriend was.
So Su Qingyan ignored her.
“Qingyan, YOU’RE DATING?! FOR REAL?!”
“Half the male student body will JUMP OFF A BUILDING!”
Su Qingyan nodded.
“Yes. We just got together… a few days ago.”
Liu Wei’er dragged her down, eyes sparkling.
“SPILL. How’d it happen?!”
“Is he from our departnt? Senior? Junior?!”
Su Qingyan shook her head.
“It… developed over ti. I can’t say much!”
“The drinks are a bribe—I need a favor!”
Her mission?
Promote QQ for Li Mo!
Many classmates had computers.
And even those who didn’t frequented internet cafés.
Perfect targets.
anwhile, outside…
Wu Lulu dialed Su Xiaoxiao.
*”Your 19-year-old sister is DATING SOONE!”*
This had to be reported.
Su Xiaoxiao had specifically ordered—
“If Qingyan starts dating, TELL . My baby sister cannot waste her youth on so broke loser!”
