However, his plan was altered this time; he hadn’t expected someone Zhao Lei brought along to be so annoying to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Lei, why don’t you introduce your buddies? Starting from my side, this is Ren Kun, Li Gang, and Pang Cheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jianhua spoke crisply and succinctly, quickly introducing his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Tianlong, Yang Fan, and my girlfriend Qiuju,\" Zhao Lei shamelessly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Cui Jianhua hadn’t grasped the situation yet, but his friends sensed something odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jianhua paused for a moment before suddenly saying, \"Kid, what did you just say? Since when is Qiuju your girlfriend? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, a fight, huh? Who’s scared of who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Fan said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t feel the need to use much force against them, not worried about depleting his primordial Qi again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I’m scared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other roommate, Li Gang, stepped forward after hearing Yang Fan. He’s an athletic student; there aren’t many in the class who study sports, but he’s one of them, tall and burly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what are you guys doing? Are we here to fight or compete? If it’s fighting, we’ll find a spot outside for a duel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tianlong despised bullying based on physical stature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Gang, don’t be impulsive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Cui Jianhua was furious too, they were here to compete today. If the atmosphere turned sour and Qiuju got upset and left, it would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Qiuju’s expression darkened; she was displeased with the confrontation. Zhao Lei, being more thoughtful, quickly walked over to help Qiuju to the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he started picking songs for her. Although the day was meant for competition, it was also a chance to relax and have fun. The rivalry was strictly between Zhao Lei and Cui Jianhua and had nothing to do with Qiuju.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Qiuju understood their intentions, she didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps she had already made up her mind, recognizing that these men wouldn’t rest until a winner was declared. Otherwise, trouble would persist endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of prolonging it, it’s better to let them compete thoroughly; whoever loses bears the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group argued, the sound system suddenly blared, and Zhao Lei started singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group shook their heads and got into position, lining up in two rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the female lead of the evening, Qiuju naturally sat in the middle of the couch with a microphone, waiting for her turn to sing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believe it or not, Zhao Lei’s physique really resembled the singer Sun Nan, and his lungs had quite the capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The song \"Even If I Die, I Want to Love\" stunned everyone present. He didn’t use falsetto; he sang it out directly. Damn, not competing on \"The Voice of China\" is such a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the song ended, everyone looked at Zhao Lei with astonished eyes as if they’d just seen an alien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... that was well done, worth a compliment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiuju, being the host for the evening, had to compliment him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing special. Singing, who can’t do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jianhua waved his hand at Pang Cheng near the song selection area and said, \"Play ’Qinghai-Tibet Plateau’ for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh? Well... Cui, can we choose another song?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, what’s the noise about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jianhua initially wanted to curse but realized something wasn’t right, quickly changed to ’noise,’ and then signaled Pang Cheng, who complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, my roommates believe this song is my weakest, so they’re worried I won’t sing it well. But... tonight, for Qiuju, I’m giving it a shot. The purpose is simple: to show her that for her sake, I’m willing to try anything. Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, his three roommates quickly applauded. One must admit, Cui Jianhua was quite eloquent, speaking better than singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this setup, even if he really sang poorly, no one would criticize since it’s his weakest song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, this song was his best, and the two of them were acting earlier, having agreed on it in the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, one song later, Cui Jianhua won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The singing was good, comparable to Zhao Lei, but his earlier words already determined his victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Lei, our competition tonight has three rounds. The first was singing, which you lost; judging by Qiuju’s earlier reactions, it’s clear to everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jianhua quickly said, fearing Zhao Lei might play tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, losing is losing; aren’t there two more rounds? You’re talking as if you’ve already won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhao Lei said this, he was displeased inside. He had prepared his song for so long, only to be beaten by a mere phrase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems he can’t rely on brute force for the next rounds; he must think of a strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of strategies, Zhao Lei knew Chen Tianlong was quite adept, so after switching places with Yang Fan, he leaned over and whispered with Chen Tianlong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qiuju picked up the microphone and sang a soothing song with a calm and beautiful voice. It seemed the men’s rivalry didn’t affect her enjoyment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do we compete in for the second round? Just say it!\" Zhao Lei said after he finished discussing with Chen Tianlong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the challenge was initiated by Cui Jianhua, and Zhao Lei was clearly at fault. So they say, proximity to water comes first, and good things stay within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the class president had pursued for over a year, Zhao Lei just barged in, snatching away the heart’s desire, lacking some moral sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, who can truly explain love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they didn’t know if this was love, youth is all about being confused and persistent; considering the consequences in everything denotes maturity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi? What exactly do you want to bet on?\" Zhao Lei clearly didn’t grasp Cui Jianhua’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dice, betting on points; whoever gets higher wins. Dare to accept?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jianhua had won a round, so this was a bet on Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technically, he was quite relaxed about it; winning or losing didn’t matter much, but for Zhao Lei, it was risky—losing this round would render the final one meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to be afraid of? Dice it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Zhao Lei was enraged, and the tension between them was palpable; there’s no way he’d back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tianlong paused, recalling that he frequently played dice as a child and had mastered it. The reason was simple: his natural hearing was very sharp, coupled with powerful sensing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dice that passed through his hands usually landed as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we have help in this round?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tianlong decided to assist Zhao Lei, and wanted to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you can; do as you like. I’ll handle it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jianhua, having grown up around casinos, learned a thing or two about dice playing, and here was a chance to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe a few students could beat him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1161,"2026-06-06T08:40:13.258Z",1,"novelbin.me","47d2d719412e8659b76aaa9f79dd47d03d34b39ed80277cbe13c7f376b7a3881","my-pretty-campus-queen-chapter-110","my-pretty-campus-queen-chapter-108",1128,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-pretty-campus-queen-cover.jpg"]
