Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

```

A gambling dad, a runaway mom, a brother in school, and her shattered self.

She said she came from Sichuan-Chongqing area and started hustling for a living at sixteen, took on all sorts of jobs; in a nutshell, just messing around.

Zhou Yuwen had heard such stories plenty of times; never think they are different from other girls. Women around the world are all the same. Instead of feeling pity for others, better spend that time on yourself.

It isn't every day you come to Macau, feel the sea breeze, and the comfort that comes from shopping till you drop.

Oh, that's right, while the sun hadn't set yet, Zhou Yuwen also had the young lady take a few photos of him by the sea, he really did look dashing.

Yep, the photos turned out great.

"Of course, how are you planning on rewarding me?" The young lady clung to Zhou Yuwen's arm, resting her head on his shoulder, cooing sweetly.

She was just wearing a strappy hip-hugging dress, her figure was really something, and she knew how to act coy. A pity she met someone like Zhou Yuwen who was determined to uphold market order.

No matter how coy she acted, Zhou Yuwen said, I'll give you an extra hundred bucks as tip later.

The girl pouted slightly, "What? So in your eyes, I am only worth a hundred!

Zhou Yuwen chuckled, "Scram, I'm posting on Moments."

In addition to her tour guide fee, he treated her to a seafood feast by the sea in the evening, of course, not forgetting to snap some photos.

Changed into a tropical beach T-shirt ensemble, he let the young lady continue to take pictures for him.

The young lady always leaned in and said, "Come on, let's take one together."

Zhou Yuwen wasn't one to refuse and preferred it to peace signs.

Playing around until eleven at night, the young lady suggested giving their luck a try, shall we?

Zhou Yuwen said he had already tried his luck.

"Oh."

Then they took a cab back to the hotel.

The hotels in Macau really are lavish, with lights shining like a bright gruel even in the late hours in front of the hotel.

Zhou Yuwen walked in front.

The young lady in the hip-hugging dress followed behind.

As per the norm, she should follow him into the hotel. After a whole day of meals, the young lady only made three thousand yuan, which really wasn't much, considering someone's salary is just three thousand a month.

Too bad for her, she ran into a penny-pincher like Zhou Yuwen.

He handed over eight hundred yuan to the young lady.

"Alright, this will do, thanks for your hard work today."

"Eh, aren't you going to invite me up to sit for a bit?" The young lady sounded somewhat disappointed.

Zhou Yuwen chuckled, "That's enough."

With no choice, the young lady took the eight hundred yuan and left.

Zhou Yuwen's suite cost three thousand yuan a night, and if not for Macau's kind treatment, Zhou Yuwen wouldn't even dream of staying—large floor-to-ceiling windows, the room was almost fifty square meters, considered quite decent.

The view outside the window was the magnificent Macau night scene.

Bored out of his mind, Zhou Yuwen began scrolling through Moments on the bed, as the National Day holiday came to an end. Everyone on Moments seemed to be checking in from their vacations, and since Zhou Yuwen used to deal with campus cards, he had added many girls from schools, and during this short holiday, many were active.

Some were traveling with boyfriends.

Others were visiting ancient towns with families, checking in at gourmet spots.

In any case, all rather monotonous, which made Zhou Yuwen's Moments similarly monotonous.

Shen Yu went to an ancient town with her mother and snapped some photos to record the visit.

Su Qing didn't post on Moments.

Zheng Yanyan had checked in for afternoon tea with her friends, not gonna lie, her friends were pretty good-looking.

Chang Hao posted on Moments at two in the morning: Damn Teemo! Ruined my ranking game!

There was also Li Qiang, who throughout this holiday, shared a number of late-night Moments: No need for excuses when you've got nothing, that's the reason to fight hard!

Accompanied with a photo of him drinking.

Having scrolled through Moments, Zhou Yuwen also shared one, him in a casual suit by the seaside, looking graceful; a selfie in the mirror at the luxury store, his newly-purchased watch, and indulgent snaps of Australian lobster, Wellington beef steak, a high-end hotel, and so on.

He captioned it: Another mundane day.

No sooner had he posted than a swarm of people started liking it.

There were many comments too.

Liu Yue: Where is this place? So beautiful. Has our class leader gone to Europe?

Shen Yu: Did you go to Macau?

Gu Yaoyao: Envious.

```

Apart from some acquaintances, there were others Zhou Yuwen didn't even remember the names of, commenting on what kind of watch he was wearing or how good his outfit looked. Explore more stories at empire

"Handsome, wanna hang out (flirty emoji)"

"Rich guy, sponsor me!"

Most of the comments were of that nature.

As for Zheng Yanyan, she called directly and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to Xiangjiang? Why did you go to Macau?"

By now it was already October 10th, and school had started the day before. Zheng Yanyan and the others had arrived at school last night and were definitely in class today.

Having not seen her roommates for a week, Zheng Yanyan still missed them considerably, finding school more interesting than home due to the lack of parental supervision. Upon seeing them, she greeted them openly and even brought snacks for her roommates.

Then, in the evening, she chattered ceaselessly about many matters.

Shen Yu asked her why she didn't invite Zhou Yuwen for dinner.

"Zhou Yuwen went to have fun in Xiangjiang."

"He went to Xiangjiang?" Shen Yu was somewhat surprised and inquired what Zhou Yuwen was doing in Xiangjiang.

"Just hanging out. He said he just likes traveling around. Sigh, if only I had known, I wouldn't have gone home. It would have been so much better to go to Xiangjiang with him—I have so many things I want to buy." Zheng Yanyan felt regretful thinking about not being able to go to Xiangjiang.

Su Qing disdainfully said, even if you wanted to go, he might not even take you with him.

"Just started dating and you expect to travel with him?"

"I didn't say I wanted him to take me; I would pay my own way, okay!" Zheng Yanyan was somewhat angry.

"So, will you two be staying in one room or separately at night?" Su Qing asked.

This question stumped Zheng Yanyan. Su Qing knew that Zheng Yanyan was not ready to be with Zhou Yuwen anytime soon—in her previous life, Su Qing managed to stay chaste, and Zheng Yanyan played no small part in that.

Back then, Zheng Yanyan was Su Qing's close friend, insisting that as sisters, you must hold onto your bottom line.

"Anyway, if it were me in a relationship, I definitely wouldn't give in easily. That's something to talk about only after getting married!"

In her past life, Zheng Yanyan was very firm on this matter.

Zhou Yuwen didn't know about this. If he had, whatever debts owed in the past life, he would surely make Zheng Yanyan pay back double in this lifetime.

However, due to Zhou Yuwen's intervention, it was unlikely that Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan would become good friends in this lifetime.

In the dorm, Su Qing told Zheng Yanyan that it was fine for them to date, but don't just recklessly spend Zhou Yuwen's money as if it's blown in by the wind.

Zheng Yanyan was very annoyed, "What's it to you if I spend my boyfriend's money?"

That's what she said, but afterward, when Zhou Yuwen was going to bring her gifts, Zheng Yanyan would remember what Su Qing said and add on, "I'll pay you back when you return."

This was said in the dorm.

Then, after hanging up the phone, Su Qing began to mock, "Isn't it funny? Even expecting someone else to buy your underwear?"

"I've put up with you for a long time, Su Qing!"

Zheng Yanyan couldn't hold back any longer.

At that moment, Shen Yu and Lu Lin would come forward to persuade both to speak less.

Shen Yu told Su Qing that should be enough since it's their personal relationship.

Meanwhile, Lu Lin told Zheng Yanyan not to take it to heart, "Isn't she always like this?"

Zheng Yanyan huffed and said, "Does she look normal to you? I didn't say I wanted to spend Zhou Yuwen's money. What's wrong with using my own money to ask my boyfriend to help me shop?"

"Alright, alright."

Because of the conflict between Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan, their dormitory was split into two groups, with Su Qing and Shen Yu as one, and Lu Lin and Zheng Yanyan as the other.

Shen Yu and Su Qing would always get up early to have breakfast and then go to class together.

Zheng Yanyan, on the other hand, enjoyed sleeping in.

Lu Lin also had a habit of staying up late.

So every morning, Su Qing and Shen Yu would leave first, and around eight o'clock, Shen Yu and Lu Lin would tidy up briefly before heading to class.

As for lunch and evening showers, those too were carried out in separate groups.

Su Qing and Shen Yu didn't intentionally isolate Zheng Yanyan.

But Zheng Yanyan felt that they were jealous of her relationship with Zhou Yuwen. One evening after dinner,

even though all four ate in the same cafeteria, because Su Qing and Shen Yu arrived first, Zheng Yanyan, who came later, did not sit with them to eat.

Then, after Su Qing and Shen Yu finished, they left without saying goodbye.

Lu Lin said not to complain to them.

"Su Qing has been saying since the start of school that she wanted to chase Zhou Yuwen, but now you're his girlfriend. It's normal for her to be a bit upset," Lu Lin explained.

"Hmph, Linlin, you're the only one who's nice to me. They don't want to be friends with me; only you treat me like a friend." Zheng Yanyan said resentfully, gripping Lu Lin's hand.
