OFR – Chapter 43 Don’t let poverty limit your imagination!

Even though Mu Bai didn’t fully understand the situation, just by reading the chat logs, he knew they were talking about Qian Yiwen.

Sure enough, after Chang Kun’s comment was posted, Qian Yiwen appeared.

However, she didn’t respond to Chang Kun, likely used to this kind of mocking after being turned down by suitors.

Qian Yiwen directly tagged Xiao Mu: “Let me introduce everyone. The person I just added is my boyfriend. He’s only here to check on me and won’t disturb your conversation. Thanks.”

This literature department group was organized by students, not the school, and people often added non-student friends to chat as well.

After Qian Yiwen’s introduction, the group instantly became lively.

“What? Sister Yiwen actually has a boyfriend?”

Wenqing tagged Xiao Mu: “Come out, let me check out Yiwen’s boyfriend for her.”

Student Qing tagged Xiao Mu: “Wow, how did you manage to win over the goddess Yiwen? I’m so jealous. I’d give up 20 years of my life if I could date her.”

“Wasn’t it 30 years for just being with her last time?”

“That was just *being* with her! This is *dating*! Big difference.”

“Haha…”

“Cough, cough! This is a public space, no inappropriate jokes!”

“Ahhhh! My heart is broken.”

“Yo, Yiwen’s boyfriend, show yourself. Let’s see what kind of hottie you are.”

…

Chang Kun’s face turned pale as he read Qian Yiwen’s introduction in the group.

He had just sent flowers to Lan Lan to make Qian Yiwen realize his importance by playing hard to get.

He didn’t believe she actually had a boyfriend because, in his mind, if he, someone so outstanding, couldn’t win her over, who could?

He was a wealthy second-generation student and the vice president of the student council. At a prestigious school like Nanjing University, there weren’t many students better than him, let alone people from outside.

But now, Qian Yiwen had brought her “boyfriend” into the group.

Chang Kun frowned as he stared at the QQ ID named “Xiao Mu.”

After being tagged several times, Xiao Mu finally responded.

Xiao Mu: “I’m just here to check on Yiwen. Thanks for the welcome, but I’m ugly, so no pictures.”

“Uh, isn’t this the same ID Qian Yiwen tagged in her post a few days ago?”

“Yeah! I heard Xiao Mu’s supposed to be rich!”

“Rich friend, are you there?”

“I heard he tipped Qian Yiwen 10,000 yuan for her novel.”

“Xiao Mu, if you’re rich, send a red envelope!”

…

“Tipping 10,000 makes you rich?”

Chang Kun sneered as he read the messages in the group chat.

In the year since Qian Yiwen had come to Nanjing University, Chang Kun had spent quite a bit on her, including flowers, gifts, and even ensuring she was always at the top of the group’s charm leaderboard.

Altogether, he’d spent at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

So when the group members called someone a rich guy for just tipping 10,000, he felt nothing but disdain.

With a sneer, he tagged Xiao Mu in the group: “So you’re Yiwen’s rich boyfriend? Nice to meet you. I used to ensure Yiwen was at the top of the charm leaderboard. Now that you’re here, I’ll let you take over. Keep her at number one from now on.”

His message was clearly a challenge, implying that he used to support Qian Yiwen’s leaderboard status, and now it was Xiao Mu’s turn to prove himself as the “rich boyfriend.”

After posting this, Chang Kun sent ten “Forever Love” charm gifts to Lan Lan in one go.

“Group member Chang Kun sent 10 ‘Forever Love’ gifts to Lan Lan, increasing Lan Lan’s charm by 13,140 points. Lan Lan is now ranked first in charm.”

The gift message played in the group chat repeatedly, making his intentions clear.

It was a blatant challenge.

You claim to be the rich boyfriend? Let’s see if you can put your girlfriend on top of the charm leaderboard.

The group members, who mostly knew Qian Yiwen from university, didn’t want to say anything too harsh out of respect for her, so they responded with “666” or posted amusing reaction memes.

“666!”

“Ten ‘Forever Love’ gifts, impressive!”

“Boss Kun is a legend!”

[Panda Rage: Not backing down!]

[I’m not targeting anyone, but these newcomers are trash!]

…

“Heh.”

Mu Bai, sitting in his room, chuckled as he watched Chang Kun’s immature challenge in the group chat.

He checked the charm leaderboard and noticed that the first-place Lan Lan only had around 20,000 charm points, which equaled about 2,000 yuan.

2,000 yuan?

Mu Bai didn’t even feel like spending that kind of money.

After having spent millions before, these small challenges felt incredibly childish.

Meanwhile, Qian Yiwen noticed the provocation and tagged Xiao Mu: “Xiao Mu darling, I don’t need to be number one on the leaderboard. As long as you’re with me, I’m happy.”

Qian Yiwen didn’t want Xiao Mu to take Chang Kun’s bait. She knew Chang Kun came from a wealthy family, and though Xiao Mu had tipped her 10,000 yuan, she believed he didn’t have as much money as Chang Kun.

She didn’t accept Chang Kun because she knew he had a girlfriend in high school and disliked men who flirted with others despite being in a relationship.

Just after Qian Yiwen sent her message, another notification popped up.

“Group member Chang Kun threw 100 eggs at Qian Yiwen, reducing her charm by 9,900 points. Qian Yiwen’s charm rank is now 236.”

Qian Yiwen had previously been ranked second on the charm leaderboard, holding a pink title, but now her charm was completely wiped out.

Annoyed, she pursed her lips in frustration.

The group members were surprised to see Chang Kun disregard common courtesy and directly sabotage Qian Yiwen.

At that moment, Chang Kun tagged Qian Yiwen: “Oops, sorry, winter’s here, my hand slipped.”

This was the epitome of arrogance.

Egging you? So what? My hand just slipped.

The group members felt that Chang Kun was perfectly embodying arrogance.

Qian Yiwen, unable to tolerate the humiliation, tagged Xiao Mu again: “Darling, why don’t we change our couple avatars and come back to the group later?”

Chang Kun saw her message and sneered, sending another 100 eggs!

“Group member Chang Kun threw 100 eggs at Qian Yiwen, reducing her charm by 9,900 points. Qian Yiwen’s charm rank is now 1,653.”

He tagged Qian Yiwen again: “Sorry, my hand slipped again. You’re now last on the charm leaderboard. My bad! But no worries, your rich boyfriend can easily get you back on top!”

Just as Qian Yiwen was about to respond, Xiao Mu replied even faster.

Xiao Mu tagged Chang Kun: “I’m not rich.”

Chang Kun sneered: “Oh? Now you’re admitting it?”

But just as he felt victorious, Xiao Mu responded with a simple “Heh.”

This unexpected response made Chang Kun frown, sensing something off. His suspicions were confirmed when a gift notification popped up.

“Group member Xiao Mu sent 100 ‘Forever Love’ gifts to Qian Yiwen, increasing her charm by 131,400 points. Qian Yiwen is now ranked first on the charm leaderboard.”

“I can send 100, too!”

Chang Kun’s face turned dark as he rushed to recharge his account, but before he could finish, more notifications came in.

“Group member Xiao Mu sent 200 ‘Forever Love’ gifts to Qian Yiwen, increasing her charm by 262,800 points. Qian Yiwen is now ranked first!”

“Group member Xiao Mu sent 400 ‘Forever Love’ gifts to Qian Yiwen, increasing her charm by 565,200 points. Qian Yiwen remains first!”

“Group member Xiao Mu sent 800 ‘Forever Love’ gifts to Qian Yiwen, increasing her charm by 1,130,400 points. Qian Yiwen holds first place!”

Xiao Mu then tagged Chang Kun: “Here’s some advice: don’t let poverty limit your imagination.”
