The boy was a bit restrained. "We're really going to fight?"

"Is it even possible to fake it?" Chu Qing said incredulously.

The boy grinned sheepishly. "Well... alright then."

Seeing that he had agreed, Chu Qing immediately took her stance. Qi Weichen said coolly, "Go easy."

"Of course, I'd never hit a girl hard," the boy replied, thinking Qi Weichen was talking to him.

Chu Qing let out a soft snort and launched into an attack with a leg sweep. The boy was startled, barely managing to block before stumbling backward. In the next second, Chu Qing's fierce techniques came at him again. When the boy finally came to his senses, he clumsily defended himself and eventually couldn't help but counterattack.

The onlookers' reactions changed from mockery to frozen smiles, and finally to slack-jawed amazement, all within less than ten seconds.

After a series of attacks, Chu Qing saw an opening when her opponent counterattacked anxiously. She seized the moment and struck his abdomen with her elbow. The boy howled in pain and fell to the ground. Chu Qing snapped back to reality and hurried to help him up. "I'm so sorry! I got too excited and forgot to go easy on you..."

Qi Weichen also came forward to check on him. Seeing that the boy wasn't seriously hurt, he turned to Chu Qing. "Didn't I tell you to go easy?"

"I... I didn't mean to," Chu Qing said, feeling very guilty.

The crowd on the sports field: "..." So that "go easy" was meant for Chu Qing.

In the ensuing silence, someone started clapping, and soon thunderous applause erupted. The boy, who had recovered, also applauded admiringly. Chu Qing grinned and bowed to everyone with clasped hands. The atmosphere reached its peak, and some people were itching to try their luck against Chu Qing. As she hadn't had enough, she happily agreed. For the next twenty minutes, the only thing the crowd did was watch Chu Qing beat people up.

After taking down the last challenger, Chu Qing waved her hand to signal that she was out of energy. Seeing the disappointed face of the next person who wanted to challenge her, she couldn't help but sigh, "Why are there still people lining up to get beaten?"

"Have some water," Qi Weichen said, unscrewing a bottle and handing it to her. Chu Qing gulped it down, and he used a tissue to wipe her lips.

Their actions immediately drew criticism from countless people. The events on the sports field quickly spread throughout the school, and Chu Qing's fame briefly surpassed that of her valedictorian boyfriend. Chu Qing thoroughly enjoyed this lifestyle, often dining with friends and organizing activities, living a colorful college life.

When the semester was coming to an end and exams were approaching, she realized how many books she hadn't read. So she could only seek Qi Weichen's help every day for tutoring sessions, but time was still not enough. To pass the exams smoothly, she didn't return to her dorm at night, instead going directly to a hotel near the school with Qi Weichen. This way, they didn't have to worry about curfew and could study as much as possible.

After not returning to the dorm for four consecutive days, when she finally went back, she received a warm welcome from her roommates.

"Little Qing Qing, exams are coming up soon. Can't you and the academic god show some restraint?" her roommate said with a grin.

Having lived with these mischievous girls for a while, Chu Qing's skin had grown thicker. She calmly glanced at her roommate and said, "We were studying."

"Yeah, right. Besides studying, didn't you do anything else?" another roommate chimed in.

Chu Qing rolled her eyes. "I know what you're thinking, but no, we didn't."
