I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 205 Breaking the Siege

Qiao Suisui wrapped up all her part-time jobs that needed to be finished these past few days, and she discussed the submission times and rates with the operations team. Having a foundation of past collaborations and having produced a hit article, Qiao Suisui’s rate for her articles doubled. Additionally, she no longer needed to queue for reviews but could directly receive suggested revisions.

As a result, she had a lot more free time.

She gave up her previous internship spot at the theater as a stage assistant and chose to report to Zhenge instead.

Interns usually needed to come in four days a week, but Qiao Suisui’s situation was special, so she was granted permission to work only two days a week. Since it was a collaboration between the university and the corporation, interns were not given any compensation, but they would accrue credits at the end of the term. Qiao Suisui didn’t mind this at all, feeling that the opportunity was rare and should be seized. Others, though, didn’t see it that way.

That day, she came to class as usual. It was an elective, and Lin Xixi had specifically chosen the same course as her, having secured a seat for Qiao Suisui early on.

Just as Qiao Suisui was about to walk over, a girl from behind bumped into her shoulder, swaggered past her, and even glanced back to give her a disdainful look.

After Qiao Suisui steadied herself, she saw that the person was Fang Yuan, the one who had squeezed her out of a spot previously.

"Yo, isn’t this the famous spokesperson from our number one player? What’s up, weren’t you picked up by the boss to start working? What are you doing back in class?" Fang Yuan taunted, nonchalantly tending to her newly manicured nails while speaking to those nearby.

The two girls beside her echoed the sentiment.

"Exactly, look at her, who knows if she’s setting her sights on some rich guy."

"Her internship can’t compare to Yuan Yuan’s. Yuan Yuan only needs to go in one day a week and gets paid too. I hear there are a lot of handsome actors in the theater troupe. With Yuan Yuan’s charm, isn’t it just a matter of choosing at will?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan gave a coy smile and said, "Stop it, what are you talking about? I’m just there for an internship, and I’ve made plans to study for grad school entrance exams with Mengze." While saying this, she glanced at a guy who was lying down at the last row of the classroom, apparently asleep. The tall figure dressed in a black sleeveless hoodie caught the eyes of every passing girl, who couldn’t help but give him a second look due to his well-defined and smooth arm muscles.

"Pfft! With your grades, study for grad school? Why don’t you get your director dad to secure you a spot directly?" Lin Xixi had been holding back since she saw Qiao Suisui being bumped by the girls, rolling up her sleeves ready for a fight, but she was stopped by Qiao Suisui’s gaze. Seeing Fang Yuan’s thickly foundation-coated face crack into a false smile, Lin Xixi almost hurled out her breakfast pancake.

"Fang Yuan, could you please look in the mirror before leaving the house next time, or have your two flunkies give you some advice? The way you slap on that powder, it’s like plaster on the wall, and it crumbles and flakes off whenever you laugh. Even your dearest Gu Mengze would have to dodge out of the way at the sight. How could he ever look straight at you without being reminded of a plastering construction worker? He’s smoother than any decorator could ever hope to be."

"What are you saying! I don’t know you, yet you insult me... you... you have no class!" Fang Yuan cried out, yelling at Lin Xixi, her gaze darting around but mostly focusing on Gu Mengze’s reaction.

The other two girls joined in, hurling insults back and forth with nothing fresh to say, mostly consisting of unpleasant remarks about Lin Xixi’s mother and her entire family.

Suddenly, a dozen cell phones went up in the classroom, as all the students eagerly watched the drama unfold.

Worried that Lin Xixi would be at a disadvantage, Qiao Suisui pulled her towards the classroom door, but the three girls were relentless.

"What, you insult people and now you want to run?"

One of the girls made a move and shoved hard against Qiao Suisui’s shoulder. Lin Xixi cursed and hurled her backpack at the girl’s head, and with a ’clang,’ all the textbooks inside came pouring out, hitting the girl on the face and body.

Lin Xixi majored in civil engineering, and each textbook was damn thick, leaving the girl seeing stars.

"You! Don’t you dare leave! You’re dead today!" The girl was completely enraged, her eyes red with fury, raising her hand to slap Lin Xixi. Qiao Suisui immediately stepped in front of Lin Xixi to protect her.

She closed her eyes tight, her face instinctively turning to avoid the blow, but after waiting a moment, the expected pain did not come.

Qiao Suisui opened her eyes to see a strong arm stretched over her head, its green veins clearly visible.

Gu Mengze grabbed the girl’s hand and flung it away, causing her to stumble backward.

"Mengze... she, they bullied me..." Fang Yuan covered her mouth, trying to look pitifully tearful.

Gu Mengze was an athlete, his towering height of 188 centimeters gave off an imposing aura and made the girls feel like they wanted him for protection. His physique implied a sense of security, making many yearn for his safeguard. He was a fast swimmer with top-notch results, but he was also reclusive and temperamental, not keen on socializing, which made even his swim team members dislike him. Another reason for their disdain was Gu Mengze’s popularity among the girls; no girl could resist his exceptionally handsome face—the archetype of the popular campus heartthrob discussed in girls’ dorm rooms.

At that moment, Gu Mengze was staring down at Fang Yuan unblinkingly.

Several onlookers who loved a good show started a live stream to record the scene, excitedly whispering to the screen, "Wow, this class was so worth it, fam! The heartthrob Gu Mengze is standing up for Fang Yuan, has she finally managed to reel in the big fish after pursuing him for so long?"

The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed in the blink of an eye and spread in several large groups.

Fang Yuan sobbed, going up to pull on Gu Mengze’s sleeve, devoid of her earlier assertiveness, only a pitiful look of being bullied remained.

"Mengze, I’m alright, don’t be angry. Let’s just let it go for today...."

Fang Yuan had not yet finished speaking when Gu Mengze interrupted her directly, "You guys are really too noisy."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ignoring the sudden darkening of Fang Yuan’s face, Gu Mengze added, "I never said I was going to take the postgraduate exam, when will you stop bringing that up?"

’Pfft—’

Someone in the crowd couldn’t hold back and let out a laugh.

Immediately after, all the students in the classroom couldn’t help but burst into laughter, the student streaming covering his mouth with a look of schadenfreude, "Fam, we’ve got a crash here, chasing a guy is like penetrating a layer of yarn, but chasing a heartthrob seems to be like crossing a mountain range."

Screenfuls of comments scrolled by—

[Damn it, this is so exciting, had I known I would’ve attended this class, damn it, the substitute got to watch a great show for free!]

[Within two minutes, I want all the information on the girl standing in front of Gu Mengze!]

[That girl is so beautiful, which department is she from?]

[Hahaha, Fang Yuan couldn’t score, it’s been so long, I thought she had him locked down by now.]

[Hold up, isn’t that the girl who spoke at the lecture last time? She’s a freshman?]

[Ah, what lecture, someone fill me in!]

[Oh my, is it just me, or do I think Gu Mengze and that girl standing together is a really nice sight to behold.]

The streaming student rapidly typed back in response to the barrage of comments, [Gu Mengze’s fans stay away, go cuddle with our department’s belle. Look at you all, acting like you’ve never seen anything precious before! loopy and shameless.JGP]

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Fang Yuan couldn’t bear the social death scene any longer, with gazes from all sides converging on her, she felt humiliated. She pushed Gu Mengze violently, and this time with genuine emotion, she ran out crying.

Gu Mengze didn’t move an inch, standing tall and imposing on the steps, hands in his pants pockets, expressionless.

He looked down slightly, just in time to meet the gaze of Qiao Suisui looking up at him.

Their eyes locked.

Gu Mengze looked at her for two seconds before he was the first to avert his gaze.

"You two keep it down as well."

After speaking, he turned back to his seat and lay down to continue sleeping.

Lin Xixi pulled Qiao Suisui to sit down, but Suisui crouched down instead, picking up her books one by one, wiping the dust off them with her hand and the hem of her clothes. Xixi felt a tinge in her nose and crouched down as well to help gather up the books scattered on the floor. As a result, neither girl saw the look Gu Mengze shot their way as he lifted his head from his arms.
