Back in the dorm, Ren Di mentioned Li Xun. She said he had already started making money and gave his extra income to the school. So investing in her band was nothing for him. Fang Shumiao was full of admiration, amazed that someone could start earning while still in school.

The next day, when Zhu Yun went to the interest group, she found everyone had left and joined Li Xun’s base, which was now located in the same place as theirs. Even Fang Shumiao had gone over. Zhu Yun found Gao Jianhong playing basketball on the field and proposed that they team up against Li Xun. They quickly agreed. When Zhu Yun and Gao Jianhong confidently arrived at the interest group, they found it bustling with activity.

Almost all the pretty girls in school had joined Li Xun’s base. Some were even going out of their way to please him, ordering takeout and bubble tea for him—one even mistakenly delivered it to Zhu Yun. Furious, Zhu Yun stormed over to Li Xun with the bubble tea. Li Xun teased her, suggesting she was angry because of those girls. Zhu Yun was left speechless. Many people were always around Li Xun.

Ren Di also came by to see him. Li Xun casually handed her a chair, but it turned out to be Gao Jianhong’s. Gao Jianhong took it as bullying and immediately started arguing with Li Xun, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Zhu Yun angrily proposed a competition: the losing team would merge into the winner’s. Gao Jianhong suggested the competition be comprehensive, including academic performance.

Li Xun agreed on the spot, and even Fang Shumiao stood behind him—after all, Li Xun was top-tier academically, and challenging him was a death wish. Privately, some believed that Zhu Yun was challenging Li Xun because she couldn’t have him. Determined not to lose, Zhu Yun started cramming her studies and practicing dance. She thought that although Li Xun was good with books, his uncoordinated body would make dancing impossible.

After intense study sessions, the exam was the next day. Not wanting to waste study time, Zhu Yun went to the rooftop and studied all night with Li Xun. The next day, Li Xun placed a rooftop key on her keychain. When the results came out, Zhu Yun did well. Li Xun praised her efforts. But Zhu Yun realized something: although they both scored 100, it was out of 100 points. Their efforts weren’t the same.

That was the difference between a top student and a genius—because during all that time, Li Xun hadn’t even studied. He just went on with his usual routine, clearly not taking the competition seriously. Frustrated by the comparison, Gao Jianhong decided to give up the competition and join the base. Zhu Yun, however, was lost. She had been learning programming just to compete, but she didn’t even like it.

Wanting to see Li Xun embarrassed, she secretly went to the dance room and found that he was indeed late. But then she saw he had submitted a medical note for a spinal injury and was excused from the exam. Disappointed, she turned to leave. Li Xun saw her leaving and chased after her. Zhu Yun, still stubborn, claimed their competition wasn’t a loss—they had just generously chosen a tie. Li Xun smiled without saying anything.

Gao Jianhong also insisted he didn’t lose, but willingly gave up the interest group to join the base. He thought Li Xun would reject him, but Li Xun accepted, making Gao Jianhong happy. The two groups merged. While shopping, Zhu Yun ran into Ren Di, who said she was waiting for someone. To her surprise, the person was Li Xun.
