Lin Chen ran out of the room, steadying his mind.

"Damn, I thought there was only one beauty in this villa, but there's actually another cutie!"

Beautiful images began to float through Lin Chen's mind.

No, he couldn't continue thinking about it. Lin Chen turned on the television, hoping to distract himself, but the scenes on the TV were even more blood-boiling.

"Damn, the TV stations here actually show this kind of stuff." Lin Chen stared at the television, his eyes widening.

Just then, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and An Xiaodi, wrapped in a towel, came into the living room.

Seeing the content being played on the TV screen, her face turned red.

And Lin Chen hurriedly turned off the television in his panic.

"Hello!" Lin Chen said, his face embarrassed.

"Hmph, you big pervert, you tried to peek at me taking a shower and even watched this kind of film. I'm going to tell auntie," An Xiaodi said angrily, her eyes slyly twinkling.

"It was all a misunderstanding, beautiful. I didn't know you were in the bathroom," Lin Chen said, his face filled with gloom.

"Misunderstanding? What about watching this kind of film then, is that also a misunderstanding?" An Xiaodi said with a cold laugh.

"I just turned on the TV and it was already showing this kind of stuff, alright!" Lin Chen said, on the verge of tears.

An Xiaodi chuckled to herself. She had stumbled upon that channel out of curiosity and had forgotten to switch it after taking a shower, unwittingly making Lin Chen the scapegoat.

"Forget it. Seeing as it's your first offense, I'll let you off, but you have to be my human shield," An Xiaodi said with a mischievous smile.

"Human shield? What's in it for me?" Lin Chen was always up for something profitable!

"Of course there are benefits. You can be my temporary boyfriend! There are many perks to being a boyfriend, like you can hold my hand, you can give me a kiss!" An Xiaodi said with a beaming smile.

"Damn, those benefits are way too good!" Lin Chen agreed without hesitation.

"You've found the right person to be a human shield. I'm a pro at it!"

An Xiaodi smiled seductively, hooking a finger under Lin Chen's chin, "See you tomorrow! My little human shield."

Watching her graceful figure wrapped in a towel slowly ascend the stairs, Lin Chen felt a surge of excitement.

At that moment, An Xiaodi, who was walking upstairs, suddenly stumbled, and the towel she was wrapped in slid to the floor.

"So beautiful!" Lin Chen's eyes nearly popped out as he stared at the perfect form in front of him.

An Xiaodi had intended to give Lin Chen a perfect exit, but instead, it turned into an awkward reveal, potentially ruining her reputation.

She blushed, quickly picked up the towel, wrapped it around herself again, and ran into the bedroom in a fluster.

Lin Chen watched An Xiaodi run into the bedroom, a smile playing on his lips.

The next day, when An Xiaodi suggested going to school with Lin Chen, Zuo Sisi was stunned.

This girl usually loved the finer things in life: today, she had declined her own Mercedes ride, opting instead to let Lin Chen take her to school on a bicycle.

Seeing An Xiaodi's sneaky demeanor, Zuo Sisi quickly guessed her intentions.

However, Lin Chen was a bit gloomy because there was only a girl's bicycle at Zuo Sisi's house, and riding on it felt quite odd for a grown man like him.

At first, An Xiaodi behaved herself, but after a while, Lin Chen felt a tightness around his body. An Xiaodi's small hands were firmly wrapped around his waist.

What left Lin Chen speechless was that it wasn't just a hug; her roaming hands were actually moving around on his lower abdomen.

"Wow, are those pecs? Lin Chen, your body is so sexy!"

Lin Chen was at a loss for words, "Sis, we're on the street, you're blatantly taking advantage of me, I'm going to blush to death."

It wasn't until they entered the campus that An Xiaodi toned it down a bit, but Lin Chen suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat off.

Especially among some of the male students, their glances seemed to be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Isn't that An Xiaodi from freshman year? Who's that guy giving her a ride?"

"Yeah, An Xiaodi is one of the newly promoted 'Four Campus Beauties', how come she was snatched away so quickly?"

"She's the woman of my dreams, the motivation for my entire four years of college. I can't live anymore, find me a block of tofu to kill myself with!"

A wave of howls rose, and Lin Chen himself hadn't expected that he'd become the public enemy of all men just by entering Capital City University.

Hearing the surrounding discussions, An Xiaodi clung to Lin Chen's hand even tighter, her expression that of a lovestruck girl, inciting a wave of screams across the campus.

Suddenly, the pressure on Lin Chen grew as they arrived in front of the academic building; a line of Ferraris approached slowly with their hazard lights flashing.

The grand entrance filled many girls with envy.

"If only a guy would confess to me like this."

"Do you know? The leading man in this love pursuit is a top-tier second-generation wealthy heir, rumored to have a family fortune in the billions!"

"Wow, such a diamond bachelor, why didn't he fancy me?"

By now, the area around the academic building was filled with people, all with envious looks on their faces as they watched this romantic scene unfold.

"Look, the leading lady is here." At this moment, a sharp-eyed person pointed at An Xiaodi and exclaimed.

Seeing the situation, Lin Chen couldn't help but display a sunny smile, waving to everyone, "Comrades, hello! You've all worked hard, such a warm welcome, I almost blush to death!"

"Damn, is this guy an idiot?"

"Doesn't he realize he's the most discordant note in this grand symphony of courtship?"

Chen Xiao looked at Lin Chen who was riding a bicycle with An Xiaodi, especially noticing An Xiaodi's hands gripping tightly around Lin Chen's waist, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

An Xiaodi was the woman he had chosen, yet she was being carried by a guy on a bicycle, and what was most important was that An Xiaodi's hands were tightly wrapped around Lin Chen.

Still, he clenched his teeth and got out of the car carrying a bouquet of roses.

Chen Xiao carried himself with pride, and though he wasn't very handsome, the confident expression on his face clearly showed he thought himself quite the catch.

But Lin Chen immediately noticed that his high nose bridge was augmented and his double eyelids were surgically created; it wasn't hard to see that this guy had invested a lot in his appearance.

Lin Chen stopped the bicycle, and An Xiaodi frowned slightly as she looked at Chen Xiao.

At that moment, Chen Xiao approached An Xiaodi and said earnestly, "My dear, I fell in love with you from the moment I saw you. I will make you the happiest girl in the world, be my girlfriend!"

With that, Chen Xiao attempted to present the roses to An Xiaodi.

Just then, Lin Chen hugged the bouquet of roses to his chest.

"Emma, classmate, I know I'm very charming, but I really can't accept your roses, because although I'm quite handsome and dashing, I just can't accept them," Lin Chen said earnestly.

Until that moment, Chen Xiao had focused all his attention on An Xiaodi, completely ignoring the dummy beside her.

Seeing his carefully planned confession go to waste, Chen Xiao's face turned icy, "Who are you?"
