229: You went to rob a bank!

Fang Zewei reacted quickly, immediately picking up where Jiang Zhibin left off, belting out passionately: "Only after growing up, did I understand you had it hard—"

Lin Jingjie, being a classmate, stood up directly and opened his arms toward Ye Su: "Every time I leave, I always pretend to be relaxed—"

Ye Su instinctively braced his hand against Lin Jingjie, pushing him back: "Smiling as I say go back, turning around with eyes wet with tears—"

"Hmm?"

Before Dorm 305 could launch into a chorus, Jiang Zhibin spotted something with his sharp eyes. On the hand Ye Su used to push Lin Jingjie away, he was wearing a different watch—it wasn't the blue balloon they had seen after 5.20.

"You changed your watch again?"

"Huh?"

Prompted by Jiang Zhibin, the other two, Fang Zewei and Lin Jingjie, also noticed that Ye Su had indeed switched to a different watch.

"What kind of watch is this? It couldn't be more expensive than the blue balloon, could it?"

Lin Jingjie looked curiously at the watch face, spelling out the letters on it: "P-A-T-E-K, Pate? ... What kind of watch is this?"

"What!"

Ye Su was inwardly sighing, thinking he had been too careless, forgetting to tuck the watch away before entering the room.

Just as he was worrying about how to explain it, a sudden exclamation from Jiang Zhibin startled both him and Lin Jingjie.

"Why are you freaking out! Did your hemorrhoids burst?"

Ignoring Fang Zewei's angry rebuke, Jiang Zhibin jumped off the bed and ran to Ye Su in two strides, staring at the watch on his wrist.

"P-A-T-E-K, P-H-I-L-I-P-P-E!"

After carefully counting the letters on the watch face, Jiang Zhibin looked incredulous: "Patek Philippe! Godfather! I haven't seen you for a day, did you go rob a bank!"

"Patek Philippe!"

Hearing the name, Fang Zewei and Lin Jingjie also exclaimed, quickly crowding around Ye Su.

Although the two of them didn't know much about watches, they had heard of brands like Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Rolex, which only seemed to exist in memes.

Even though they didn't know how much these brands of watches generally cost.

It didn't stop them from knowing that these brands were directly linked to the word "expensive," and were "expensive" beyond their imagination.

"What era is this? Who still robs banks?" Ye Su took the opportunity to pull his hand back: "I just bought this from a guy on the side of the road for eight hundred yuan. It's a pretty good replica, right?"

"It's definitely quite realistic."

Recovering from the shock of the "Patek Philippe," Jiang Zhibin and Fang Zewei both felt lingering fear, clutching their startled hearts, realizing they had just been scaring themselves.

"Phew—false alarm!"

"Scared the hell out of me. No, I have to eat two extra bowls later!"

Wearing a Cartier Ballon Bleu was already outrageous enough; how could this bastard possibly be wearing a Patek Philippe?

"Fearing that your brother is living a hard life, but also fearing that your brother will drive a Range Rover"—that's exactly how the three of them felt right now.

If Ye Su were to sell the watch on his wrist and add a little money, it would indeed be enough to buy a base-model Range Rover.

Lin Jingjie looked at Ye Su's watch, remembering the last time he wore that blue balloon to class and was asked about it by classmates, Ye Su had used the same excuse to brush it off.

That shouldn't be possible, right?

I heard that ordinary Patek Philippe watches cost hundreds of thousands.

A watch worth hundreds of thousands was beyond Lin Jingjie's comprehension; he felt that such things only existed online and couldn't possibly appear in his own life.

So Lin Jingjie shook his head and, just like the other two, assumed that what Ye Su was wearing was indeed a high-quality replica Patek Philippe.

"Seriously, what is with you three?"

The three of them pulling this act right in front of him left Ye Su looking completely speechless:

"You could at least be subtle about it. Why, am I not worthy of wearing a Patek Philippe!"

"It's okay, I understand." Jiang Zhibin patted Ye Su on the shoulder, throwing his own words back at him: "Young man, having some aspirations is a good thing, but you can fool your dude, just don't fool yourself."

Seeing Jiang Zhibin's punchable face, Ye Su really wanted to shove the watch in his face and let him get a good look at whether it was real.

Forget it, Daddy won't lower himself to your level!

Managing to hold back his breath, Ye Su finally took out his phone and changed the subject:

"Let's see what we should eat for lunch."

"Got it!"

Knowing that Ye Su was not who he used to be and was being kept by a young and beautiful wealthy woman outside, the three roommates didn't stand on ceremony with him.

Taking the phone and opening the food delivery app, they unceremoniously ordered a basin of sauerkraut fish, a kiln-roasted chicken, plus two boxes of vegetables and four portions of rice, ruthlessly spending over a hundred yuan of Ye Su's money.

"Done ordering?"

"Yeah."

Taking the phone back and looking at the few items the three had ordered, Ye Su knew they were just talking big but were too embarrassed to order too much.

So when placing the order, Ye Su added a portion of roasted pork chops, ultimately costing Ye Su over two hundred yuan.

Knock, knock, knock—

Just as Ye Su finished placing the order, the dorm door was knocked on.

"Who is it?"

When Fang Zewei opened the door, he realized he didn't recognize the person knocking.

The person who came looking for him at this time was naturally Yu Haoyang, who had come to deliver the "Venue Usage Certificate":

"Hello classmate, may I ask if Ye Su lives here?"

"Yes." Fang Zewei turned around and shouted: "Ye Su, someone's looking for you."

"Coming."

When he heard the knocking, Ye Su had already guessed it was Yu Haoyang.

Seeing Ye Su walk over, Yu Haoyang immediately handed over the certificate in his hand: "The 'Venue Usage Certificate' is here, take it."

"Alright." Ye Su took the certificate and said with a smile: "You three are really efficient. You've already written the proposal and even got it approved by the college."

"This is actually just a formality. We talked to the counselor, and he helped us get it approved directly."

Hearing that the three had asked the counselor for help, Ye Su understood why the college had been so efficient this time.

Yu Haoyang and his two companions could use their spare time to cooperatively develop a small game, which proved that they were likely active students.

Perhaps they had also been actively participating in any competitions held within the school.

With students like these, the relationship with the counselor would naturally be better than his.

Upon learning that the three wanted to set up a game studio and start a business within the school, the counselor would naturally be happy to cooperate with them.

"Alright, I'll take it to register this afternoon, and I'll try to get the registration completed this week. Then I'll transfer the money to the studio's account so you can buy the server first and proceed with the initial filing and testing."

"Great!"

Hearing that their studio of four could complete registration so smoothly, Yu Haoyang also became excited.

Immediately after, he noticed another watch being worn on the hand Ye Su used to take the documents.

"The poor play with cars, the rich wear watches, and old bulls love to eat tender grass."

A single sentence summarized the three major hobbies of most men.

Although Yu Haoyang couldn't afford these "three big items," it didn't stop him from looking them up online whenever he had free time, just to feast his eyes.

With just one glance, Yu Haoyang recognized what watch Ye Su was wearing.
