Enjoyment-oriented male god

4: Free your hands

Most young people may not be able to afford the full Apple ecosystem, but who wouldn't recognize it?

Most importantly, we've been classmates and roommates for over a year, and we've long known each other's spending habits and family backgrounds.

Dong Dapeng was so shocked that he couldn't help but shout:

"Holy crap! Third brother, you're using the entire Apple ecosystem?!"

"Did your house get demolished for redevelopment? Did you win the lottery? Did you inherit your second uncle's estate?"

Dong Dapeng's loud shouts immediately attracted the attention of all the students.

The students all gathered around to watch.

At this moment, Li Xiwei walked in from outside.

His gaze swept over the crowd without surprise, and he silently returned to his seat, continuing his internal struggle.

She would only occasionally steal a glance at Xiao Ze out of the corner of her eye.

"Ring ring ring~"

As the class bell rang, the lecturer walked in carrying the textbook.

The students quickly went home.

Xiao Ze suddenly received a WeChat message from Li Xiwei.

Li Xiwei: (About how much is the bonus you mentioned? What kind of performance warrants a bonus?)

Xiao Ze looked up at her sitting in the first row.

She sat upright with her back straight, looking like she was listening attentively.

Xiao Ze chuckled, and replied after a moment's thought.

Xiao Ze: (The bonus will definitely be more than the monthly salary; the 30,000 monthly salary is just the minimum guarantee.)

Xiao Ze: (This means giving me freedom of movement, making me feel good, both physically and mentally.)

After sending the message, Xiao Ze saw her look down at her phone, and then her body visibly trembled.

Xiao Ze chuckled inwardly.

Five minutes later, she sent another message.

Li Xiwei: (You live off-campus, not in public, and that doesn't include that kind of thing. I'll listen to you on everything else. I don't want the bonus, I just want the monthly salary?)

Xiao Ze sneered inwardly, thought for a moment, and immediately typed a reply.

Xiao Ze: (I'm currently looking for other candidates; perhaps the selection will be finalized before tonight.)

Xiao Ze: (You're the school beauty, you have a noble status, I won't force you if you don't want to.)

After sending the message, Xiao Ze immediately exited WeChat and refused to reply to anything she sent next.

The morning's classes passed by in a flash.

Xiao Ze and his three roommates walked out of the classroom arm in arm.

Xu Baoqiang, the eldest in the dormitory, looked embarrassed and whispered to Xiao Ze:

"Aze, my partner is coming too. You don't need to pay, we can pay for it ourselves."

Dong Dapeng shouted, "Why are you being so polite with him? This unfilial son is using the entire Apple ecosystem now!"

"The headphones, watch, phone, and tablet all add up to at least 40,000 yuan. He treats us to a few hundred yuan meal at Haidilao, and you're still trying to save him money?"

Xiao Ze smiled and said, "It's no problem for my sister-in-law to come along. It'll be more lively with more people."

After saying that, he looked at the fourth brother, Yang Xiaoming, and said, "If you have any female friends, you can invite them too."

Yang Xiaoming glanced at Li Xiwei, who had just walked past, and then shook his head.

Dong Dapeng immediately protested: "What do you mean? You think I don't have any female friends? Who are you looking down on!"

Xu Baoqiang quickly waved his hand: "Really, there's no need. How could we let you, Lao San, go to so much trouble? We can pay for it ourselves."

Xiao Ze patted him on the shoulder and stopped arguing with him about this trivial matter.

As a result, Xiao Ze and the other three arrived at the school gate but still did not see Xu Baoqiang's girlfriend, Pan Rong.

After finishing the call, Xu Baoqiang said awkwardly:

"Sorry guys, she went back to her dorm to change. You guys go ahead, I'll wait for her here."

Dong Dapeng said, "What's the point of waiting? It's only a few hundred meters. Let your sister-in-law come by herself."

Xu Baoqiang said awkwardly, "I'd better wait a bit. The brothers go first, we'll be there soon."

Xiao Ze led the way as he stepped out of the school gate.

Dong Dapeng and Yang Xiaoming followed closely behind.

On the way, Dong Dapeng couldn't help but complain:

"To be honest, I'd rather be a single dog than have a girlfriend like Pan Rong."

"Every time I go out with that couple, I feel ashamed for my boss. People who don't know them might think he's their servant!"

"Anyway, I don't think they'll last. Their way of getting along isn't a normal couple at all. The eldest is being too submissive."

Yang Xiaoming, for some unknown reason, immediately retorted:

"What do you, a perpetual single dog, know about normal couple dynamics?"

"That's true love, boss. If I could have my own true love, I could do even better than him!"

After saying that, Yang Xiaoming quickened his pace and walked alongside Xiao Ze, asking:

What do you think, Aze?

Xiao Ze smiled slightly: "To do whatever you want is the ultimate joy in life."

"The key to many things is not right or wrong, but how to do them so that you can be happy."

Upon hearing this, both Dong and Yang looked at Xiao Ze in surprise.

Dong Dapeng asked doubtfully, "Is it just my imagination? Why do you seem a little different, Third Brother?"

Xiao Ze smiled but didn't say anything.

He was still himself, but with the system, his mindset completely changed, and his perspective on issues naturally changed as well.

Simply put, cognition has been reshaped and perspective has been elevated.

People and things that I couldn't understand before are now crystal clear, just like a sudden enlightenment.

……

University Town, second floor of Haidilao, window booth.

"Sorry I'm late, guys."

Xu Baoqiang and his girlfriend Pan Rong sat next to Xiao Ze.

Pan Rong was wearing a tight-fitting halter dress and had a strong scent of rose perfume on her.

Xiao Ze felt that although she was wearing perfume, it wasn't as clean and pleasant as the lemon and mint scent on Li Xiwei.

If it weren't for the thought of eating hot pot later, which would overpower all other flavors, Xiao Ze would have definitely changed seats immediately.

The waitress came over and placed the order tablet on the table: "Would you like to order now?"

Xiao Ze was too lazy to discuss with the others, so he randomly chose the 688 yuan premium gathering set meal and ordered four bottles of German wheat wine and one bottle of watermelon juice.

Xiao Ze said to the waiter, "This is enough for now. We can add more if needed."

"Yes, sir." The waiter brought over the cutlery and towels first.

Pan Rong turned to look at Xiao Ze and immediately noticed the Apple Family Bucket on his ears, hands, and wrists.

A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, but she quickly smiled and said:

"Aze, have you made any friends yet? Want your sister-in-law to introduce you to someone? We have way more cute junior girls in our journalism department than in your computer science department!"

Dong Dapeng immediately perked up: "Don't just introduce her to him, introduce me and Lao Si too. If you can introduce a junior from junior high school, we'll treat you to a big meal too."

After saying that, he nudged Yang Xiaoming with his elbow: "Isn't that right, Fourth Brother?"

Yang Xiaoming hesitated for two seconds, then shook his head and said:

"I won't trouble you, sister-in-law!"

"Not troublesome? You're not still thinking about Li Xiwei, are you?"

Dong Dapeng glanced at Yang Xiaoming disdainfully and said with a fatherly air:

"With Li Xiwei's sweet face, if you want to be her boyfriend, you either need to be a self-made millionaire or a second-generation rich kid. What kind of rich kid do you think you are?"

"The five of us are all ordinary people—ordinary family backgrounds, ordinary abilities, ordinary looks—we're destined to be forever out of reach of a school beauty like Li Xiwei!"

Pan Rong said, "Li Xiwei is your class monitor, right? She's really pretty, and a lot of guys in our department are pursuing her."

As soon as she finished speaking, a clear and sweet female voice came from the side:

"Could you please switch seats? Thank you."
