Chapter 98: You just want to be my woman?

Su Ze led An Lan into the fourth floor at a leisurely pace.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he felt dozens of gazes project toward him in unison.

The corridor outside the Dormitory rooms was packed with people, clearly divided into several small groups.

The most conspicuous was Wang Meng and his group of tall physical education students and fitness hunks.

This bunch no longer possessed their former imposing aura.

Standing there one by one, they squeezed out smiles that looked worse than crying when they saw Su Ze appear, their eyes a mix of awe and trepidation.

Wang Meng stood at the very front, wanting to speak several times.

However, he swallowed his words back down, looking restless and ill at ease.

Not far away was Xu Feng with his group of boys.

Seeing An Lan following behind Su Ze, their expressions were complex—there was worry and loss, but mostly a sense of resigned helplessness.

Liu Yuanfang and the other girls were also gathered together, whispering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with admiration and awe as they looked at Su Ze.

Qiao Yunge, her younger brother Qiao Yunfeng, two male cousins, and their girlfriends were also standing there.

Qiao Yunge's expression was somewhat unsightly, her lips pressed tightly together.

Her bright eyes stared straight at him, or rather, at An Lan by his side.

Naturally, the residents of his own Dormitory were all present as well.

Jiang Yuwan, Yao Qingya, Liu Qiaofei, and Su Meier—four goddess-level beauties of different styles—stood at the entrance of Dormitory 404, similarly sizing up this newcomer 'sister'.

The atmosphere in the entire corridor became somewhat subtle due to the arrival of Su Ze and An Lan.

After lingering briefly on Su Ze, almost everyone's gaze concentrated on An Lan.

When they saw An Lan's face clearly, a faint sound of sharp intakes of breath rose from the crowd.

What a... handsome girl.

Clean-cut short hair, well-defined features, and a high bridge of the nose combined into a face full of heroic spirit.

She followed behind Su Ze calmly, her expression barely changing despite being watched by dozens of people.

Qiao Yunge's pupils constricted slightly.

She had originally been extremely confident in her own bright and elegant looks, but seeing An Lan, that confidence wavered for no apparent reason.

The other's beauty was of a completely different style from hers.

If she was a passionately blooming peony, then this woman named An Lan was a cold blade hidden in its scabbard.

One couldn't say she was more charming, only that she was not inferior in the slightest!

So... she was the one who snatched her spot.

Did Su Ze prefer this type?

"Landlord~ You're back~"

Su Meier was the first to break the silence. She swayed her slender waist and approached with a graceful, alluring gait.

Her peach-blossom eyes scanned An Lan curiously before she warmly took An Lan's arm.

"Is this our new sister? Welcome, welcome!"

An Lan nodded expressionlessly.

"Sister, you're so cool..."

Liu Qiaofei also crowded over, her large eyes filled with pure curiosity and wonder as she praised her sincerely.

Yao Qingya stayed where she was, just watching quietly.

Her hands hidden in her sleeves unconsciously clenched a bit tighter.

Another one...

Moreover, the Great Campus Belle Qiao seemed to have come for him as well.

She felt Su Ze was becoming more and more dazzling, and the excellent women around him were increasing.

She feared there was less and less of a place for her in Su Ze's heart...

At this thought, her heart felt as if it were blocked by something, stiflingly heavy.

Jiang Yuwan appeared much calmer.

She merely gave An Lan a cool nod as a greeting, and then her gaze fell upon Su Ze.

She had guessed long ago that any woman Su Ze took in would definitely not be simple.

Looking at it now, this unique temperament and appearance alone were enough to prove everything.

This dog man's taste is as high as ever.

Su Ze ignored everyone's varying thoughts.

He casually took a pile of items from his backpack and traded them all to Jiang Yuwan in one go.

"This is the five-star novice gift pack from reaching full capacity just now. Take it all to sell; there's nothing good in it."

It was a pile of food, water, materials, and two ordinary-quality weapons.

These things might be good in the eyes of others,

But in Su Ze's view, they were truly better than nothing but not by much.

Wang Meng's throat bobbed as he looked at those supplies.

Back then, he had put in a lot of effort just to obtain a five-star novice gift pack.

Yet Su Ze didn't care for it at all.

Then again, Su Ze had so many supplies that it was unknown how many five-star novice gift packs they were worth...

He was anxious, but he forced himself not to step forward.

Because he saw Qiao Yunge had already taken the lead and was walking toward Su Ze.

He sensibly chose to continue waiting.

Qiao Yunge forced her gaze away from An Lan.

She took a deep breath and looked at Su Ze, her voice carrying an irrepressible tremble and resentment.

"Su Ze, didn't you agree that the last tenant spot was mine?"

"Didn't we also agree to give me three days to arrange things for my family before I moved in? I was prepared to move in tomorrow..."

As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere in the corridor instantly became even more subtle, and everyone pricked up their ears.

Looking at her like this, Su Ze suddenly found it a bit amusing and felt like teasing her.

"Weren't you reluctant before? What, have you changed your mind now?"

He spread his hands, his tone relaxed.

"Now that this spot has been given to someone else, you don't have to force yourself anymore. Isn't that great?"

"You!"

Qiao Yunge was choked by his words, her cheeks flushing red and her eyes instantly welling up.

"Sister!"

Beside her, Qiao Yunfeng couldn't take it anymore when he saw his sister being bullied.

He stepped forward, neck stiff as he shouted at Su Ze:

"Even if my sister isn't willing to be your woman, you, Su Ze, can't be so dishonest, right? How can you unilaterally cancel something that was agreed upon!"

Su Ze turned his gaze toward him, a playful smile on his face.

"Oh? So you're saying you really want your sister to be my woman?"

"I..."

Qiao Yunfeng was suddenly at a loss for words.

Of course he didn't want that!

But in this situation, if he said he didn't want it, it seemed he would lose the right to demand accountability.

Su Ze ignored him and turned his gaze back to Qiao Yunge, continuing to twist the knife with a smile.

"See, your brother doesn't want you to be wronged either. Now you're free and don't have to be my woman anymore. Isn't that good?"

"It's not good!" Qiao Yunge blurted out.

Her brother and cousins were all stunned, looking at her with faces full of astonishment.

Qiao Yunge bit her lip hard and lifted her chin stubbornly.

Meeting the surprised or confused gazes of everyone in the corridor, she spoke word by word, her voice trembling slightly with emotion.

"That was before!"

"Now, I just want to be your woman! So what!"
