**My Beautiful Group of Campus Beauties in Distress**
As dusk approached, the western sky turned a murky yellow. The day had been stiflingly hot, and the students in the classroom were drenched in sweat. Only two pathetic ceiling fans stirred the air, offering little relief to some. *Why can't the school just install more fans?* they grumbled inwardly.
The moment the last class of the afternoon ended, the classroom erupted into chaos. Students hastily packed their bags and textbooks, then rushed out of the sweltering classroom in a single, cohesive wave.
Li Gao grinned. "Su Ming, want to hit the disco tonight? Heard there's a new place nearby that's packed. They say the bass hits harder than most clubs. Lu Chen's already going. We just need you to join us!"
"Nah, I can't," Su Ming shook his head. "Tian Keke said she's buying some stuff for home tonight, and I have to go with her."
Li Gao sighed dramatically. "You lucky bastard, living the good life with a girl. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still single. Heaven, this is so unfair! What's so great about you anyway? You're always teasing girls, bullying them, peeping at them... your character is garbage, so why do you get to date a hot chick?"
"Damn it, you bastard! You've ruined my image! I'll beat you up!" Su Ming was furious. After Li Gao's words, the girls who hadn't left the classroom all shot Su Ming looks of contempt and called him a pervert with disgusted glares.
Su Ming was so angry he felt like strangling Li Gao. "Your sister! You've completely destroyed my image! Pay me back! Pay back every cent you owe me!"
"Uh, we're like brothers, right? Talking about money is bad for our friendship. Anyway, if you're busy, don't worry about it. We'll have fun without you." Li Gao sensed trouble and quickly made his escape. He only had a little over a hundred yuan, nowhere near enough to repay the five hundred he owed Su Ming.
Su Ming glanced at him, no longer expecting the money. He'd already made a lot of money using his superpowers and didn't care about that small amount. As he was packing his things, Tian Keke returned from the restroom. "Are we having evening study session tonight?"
"Didn't you say you were going shopping for your mom? And you're still going to study session?" Su Ming asked, puzzled.
"Oh, right. I almost forgot. I need to buy some things for my mom so she stops calling me all the time," Tian Keke said.
Su Ming didn't know what to buy, but the mere thought of Tian Mengni sent a strange heat surging through his body. That stunning beauty was truly exceptional. Last time he'd touched her butt, he'd almost activated his powers. Thinking about it now, it still gave him a peculiar thrill!
"Wait! Su Ming, you can't leave just yet!" Qin Yuan called out, stopping Su Ming from leaving the classroom.
"Why not?" Su Ming asked. "Look, sis, I appreciate you helping me out today, but you can't just take over my time like this, can you?"
"Hmph, heh heh!" Qin Yuan giggled coquettishly, covering her mouth as she chuckled softly. "This big sister likes it. Don't you?"
"You're crazy!" Su Ming said, speechless. "Just say what you want. We need to go shopping downtown, and we don't have time to stay at school."
Qin Yuan tossed a broom at Su Ming. *This is bad,* he thought. *She's really into making me sweep now. Sis, don't bully me so much!*
"Are you on cleaning duty today?" Tian Keke asked Qin Yuan, setting down her backpack. She had no choice but to wait for Su Ming. After all, he'd helped her out so much—how could she refuse to help him clean the classroom?
"Yep, I am. Otherwise, why would I ask Su Ming to help clean?" Qin Yuan nodded at Su Ming with a smile. "Hurry up! Look at you slacking off. It's just a little help, but you're acting like I owe you a million bucks! It's cute, but... somehow, it doesn't feel cute at all."
"Damn! Stealing my lines?" Su Ming was extremely annoyed. *When did a woman ever get to steal my lines?*
Su Ming and Qin Yuan were cleaning the classroom together when Qin Yuan's phone suddenly rang. She answered and walked out of the classroom. It was her mother, Qin Ying, calling. "Honey, I have something to take care of and can't pick you up. Take the bus home by yourself!"
"Okay, Mom! I'll take the bus home by myself!" Qin Yuan hung up and returned to the classroom. "Alright, Su Ming, you can go now. Can you help me move some things tomorrow?"
"I refuse," Su Ming blurted out, already anticipating her usual pranks. After being tricked several times before, he was determined not to fall for a woman's schemes again.
Especially not Li Lili, that little devil of a girl who loved to prank others and was full of tricks. Countless students had suffered at her hands.
Qin Yuan smiled playfully. "Look at you, acting all guarded like you're facing Sister Feng! It's not really cute, you know. It's settled—tomorrow during evening study hall, we're not studying. We're moving things to the Friendship Club to decorate the room."
Without waiting for Su Ming's response, Qin Yuan left the classroom, her crystal-studded handbag swinging. Her graceful figure walked slowly down the hallway.
Tian Keke's eyes widened in surprise. The Friendship Club was a place that gathered the school's top students, and it was notoriously difficult to join. Countless students had gone mad trying to apply, but the president, Li Yuling, one of the Four Campus Beauties, had set incredibly demanding requirements. Most people wouldn't get in; members had to rank first in at least one subject, or they wouldn't even be considered. Moreover, the club was all-female, with a strict policy against men.
Qin Yuan asking Su Ming for help—didn't that mean she was giving him a chance to get close to the Friendship Club?
*Oh my god, that's the Hundred Flowers Room! If a man were to enter, wouldn't it be a hundred beauties vying for attention, fighting like mad? Tomorrow, women might be snatching up their boyfriends!*
This thought struck Tian Keke with a sudden, terrifying realization: Su Ming would be constantly tempted by those women. All Four Campus Beauties were there! Grabbing Su Ming's hand, she said earnestly, "You can't go to the Friendship Club."
"Why not?" Su Ming looked at her, puzzled by her seriousness.
Tian Keke bit her lip and said, "If I say no, then it's no. Otherwise, I'll break up with you. Do you understand? This is my biggest condition."
"Well, I should at least help her move her stuff, right? You know, I owe Qin Yuan a big favor. It's not something I can repay just by cleaning a classroom," Su Ming said.
"I understand! Then help her out, but you're absolutely not joining the Friendship Club. Promise me!" Tian Keke said, her tone leaving no room for argument.
"Uh... alright!" Su Ming nodded vaguely, feeling puzzled. Why was she so insistent on this? Was something wrong?
At the school gate, two vans and a Ferrari were parked under a tree by the roadside. Inside, Liu Shaofeng and his brother, Yun Yong, and a group of Dong Shao's thugs were all staring intently at the school gate.
Soon, Qin Yuan emerged with a few female friends, laughing and chatting. Just as they were about to part ways at the gate, the group suddenly burst out of the vehicles and charged toward Qin Yuan.
"Capture her quickly," Liu Shaofeng commanded, his gaze leering at Qin Yuan. Seeing the group charging at her, Qin Yuan didn't understand what was happening, but the malice in their actions made her scream in terror.
"What do you want?" she asked, backing away warily.
