Chapter 14 - 14: Campus Enemy No.1?
8:15 AM – Campus Parking Lot
The Ferrari's scissor doors lifted like wings of doom. Su Ning stepped out with the lethal poise of a runway model, her ponytail slicing through the morning humidity. A freshman's soy milk carton exploded against pavement as the crowd froze – 73 iPhones raised in unison, their shutters clicking like a swarm of metallic cicadas.
"Tag Fang Bochao!" someone hissed. "This'll break his crypto portfolio!"
Ye emerged from the driver's seat, his Patek glinting under the autumn sun. The watch face's perpetual calendar might as well have been counting down to his social execution.

10:03 AM – Drill Field
Pudgy Li body-checked Ye into the shade of a half-dead maple. "Spill it, Casanova! Did you two...study all night?"
"Define 'study'." Ye adjusted his military cap, its brim still creased from yesterday's humiliation of Fang Bochao.
"Don't play dumb!" Wei Liang brandished his phone – a TikTok compilation titled Ice Queen Melts for Ferrari Fu Er Dai. "The comments section wants your head on a skewer!"

10:17 AM – The Watch Debacle
A skeletal figure materialized from the mob – Liu Hao, heir to a bankrupt seafood empire, waving his Rolex Yacht-Master like a talisman against irrelevance. "Nice...ahem...Casio?" he sneered, the 40mm rose gold abomination on his wrist catching sunlight like a distress flare.
Ye's Patek hummed softly – its minute repeater chiming the opening bars of Another One Bites the Dust.
"Eight. Point. Five. Million." Liu enunciated each syllable like a death row chef listing ingredients. "That's what class looks like, peasant."

10:23 AM – Flex Protocol Engaged
The crowd parted as finance major Lin Yuhan pushed through, her Gucci Marmont bag vibrating with stock alerts. "That's a 5074R Perpetual Calendar!" she gasped, forensic eyes scanning Ye's wrist. "My dad's been on the waitlist since Brexit!"
Liu's Rolex suddenly weighed three tons. "F-fake! No freshman could..."
Lin whipped out her phone – a Christie's auction page glowing with damning evidence. "Sold for ¥5.8M last month to anonymous buyer 'YC'." Her gaze locked onto Ye. "YC. Ye Chen. Cute alias."

12:30 PM – Cafeteria Exodus
Ye's tray clattered against the trash bin – untouched. The lunch lady's cleaver still trembled from his last visit.
"Sorry, handsome." She gestured to the mob forming outside. "The 'Kill the Fu Er Dai' lunch special sold out."

2:17 PM – Dean's Office
The paperwork smelled of panic and fresh toner. "Off-campus residency?" The advisor squinted at Ye's Skycrest Estates deed. "Son, this address is a..."
"Storage unit," Ye deadpanned. "For my Pokémon card collection."

00:01 AM – Garage Revelation
The Bentley Continental GT crouched in the shadows like a British assassin, its Mulliner driving specs whispering promises of vehicular war crimes. Ye ran a hand across the hood – still warm from whatever eldritch magic the game used for deliveries.
