"No need, I'm heading home soon, so just come over." Su Qingyu said on the other end of the phone.
"Alright then, see you at home." Ye Shikai brought back some specialties from South America, essentially as gifts for Su Qingyu.
"By the way, Qingqing's school is on holiday, you can go to Yanjing University to pick her up." Su Qingyu continued. Yanjing University provides student accommodation, but students are also allowed to rent outside, so Su Ziqing simply stayed at home. However, due to some competitions and art activities organized by the school, Su Ziqing would still occasionally stay on campus for a period of time. Since the activities just ended, Ye Shikai could conveniently pick her up on the way.
"Okay, I'm heading there now." Ye Shikai turned the steering wheel, changing his route to Yanjing University.
Ye Shikai really liked the university atmosphere, youthful and vibrant, especially in this top school of Huaxia, full of ambitious young people. Unfortunately, he went straight into the military after high school, but even in the military, Ye Shikai was a standout, the most excellent commander, the youngest major.
"That's really strange, where is Qingqing?" Ye Shikai parked the car but couldn't find any sign of Su Ziqing anywhere, even though they had agreed to meet there. Could she have encountered some danger...
"Excuse me, have you seen Su Ziqing?" Ye Shikai asked a girl coming out of the dormitory building.
"I don't know." The girl shook her head, giving Ye Shikai a curious glance, "Are you her suitor?"
"Ah... no." Ye Shikai quickly shook his head. Although he was only in his twenties, he was more mature and seasoned compared to his peers, especially compared to these university students. He wondered why the girl thought he was Su Ziqing's suitor.
"Oh, sorry, there are usually a lot of guys pursuing Su, I must have mistaken." The girl apologized.
"So she has many suitors huh?" Ye Shikai asked intrigued and curious.
"Of course, nearly every day, and from various departments." The girl laughed.
"I didn't expect that." Ye Shikai said, just as he saw a "bubbly and lively" young beauty coming out the door.
"Brother-in-law, I'm here." Su Ziqing ran over quickly, coming directly to Ye Shikai.
"So, have you packed everything?" Ye Shikai patted Su Ziqing's small head. Even though she was a university student, she seemed more like a little girl who hadn't been home for a week and was finally waiting for Friday's break.
"Yeah, just some toiletries, let's go home now." Su Ziqing hopped into the car. Her classmates around her showed expressions of surprise, they didn't know Ye Shikai, and it was the first time seeing Su Ziqing get into a man's car, no wonder they were surprised.
"These classmates." Ye Shikai smiled knowingly. Although university and high school were different, the tactics of boys chasing girls applied universally.
"You sure have a lot of admirers." In the car, Ye Shikai suddenly teased, "I saw several guys looking for you outside earlier." Of course, this was just something Ye Shikai said to tease Su Ziqing.
"Not really." Su Ziqing blushed, in contrast to Su Qingyu. If Su Qingyu heard many men were pursuing her, at most, she would respond with an indifferent "Oh." The ice queen was accustomed to it, unlike Su Ziqing, who had a bit of vanity. Su Qingyu, on the other hand, was unimpressed by suitors.
But Ye Shikai was fully aware of one thing: the two sisters had very high aesthetics and standards, otherwise, they wouldn't be indifferent to so many men. Su Ziqing had been in university for so long but had never dated any boyfriend.
"When are you finding a boyfriend?" Ye Shikai suddenly asked, making Su Ziqing blush again. She seemed to have never experienced romance.
Perhaps, it truly was difficult to find someone captivating enough to win over Su Ziqing.
A magazine once said that if people were divided into five tiers based on social status, appearance, knowledge, wealth, and moral standards, the so-called "high-value men" (tall, rich, handsome) and "high-value women" (fair, rich, beautiful) formed the first tier. The hardest to pair up were the women in the first tier and men in the fifth tier.
Traditionally, marriage emphasized matching social classes, and men were seen as the dominant partners. Thus, first-tier men, the most exceptional group, often chose women from the second tier to create a "subtle balance," ensuring the man was slightly stronger. This pattern continued down the tiers, leaving the first-tier women and fifth-tier men hard to match.
Empirical evidence suggested some truth; women desired partners better than themselves. Su Ziqing undoubtedly belonged to this "first tier," meaning only "exceptionally" outstanding pursuers could catch her eye.
As the esteemed Netherworld King, Ye Shikai had countless assets and immense strength and capabilities. On paper, he belonged to the elite within the first tier, making a perfect match with the wise and beautiful Su Qingyu.
"Brother-in-law, remember that guy named Wang Kai? Su Ziqing mentioned out of the blue.
"Of course, he's a good friend of mine. Why, are you looking for him..." Ye Shikai asked suddenly. Wang Kai had fallen for Su Ziqing at first sight and even begged Ye Shikai to play matchmaker. However, Ye Shikai never paid much attention, not because he looked down on Wang Kai, but due to their status. Wang Kai was also a Main God, and if he got together with Su Ziqing, it'd be like repeating his path with Su Qingyu. Su Ziqing would likely encounter many problems, maybe even life-threatening ones, because of Wang Kai.
Ye Shikai felt guilty enough about Su Qingyu and didn't want to involve Su Ziqing further.
"Uh... I just thought he seemed interesting, and I didn't get his contact info last time, so I wanted to ask you for it."
"Alright, I'll give it to you when we get home." Ye Shikai said, intending to think of a way to brush it off later.
