【An Ling was pinned against the wall by Sister Su today, who wore a serious teacher’s outfit. Her warm, fragrant body pressed close, and the familiar subtle scent swept over her—from the tip of her nose down to her chest and lungs, filled entirely with the delicate fragrance from the beauty’s hair.】
Looking into Sister Su’s bright, clear eyes and those moist, enticing red lips, An Ling gradually felt as if enchanted, her eyelids closing.
Gentle, tender, and crimson—the sweet warmth left wherever it touched.
..
Teacher Su, you taught me to be grounded, but you’re also the one who has me completely flustered.**
Ten minutes remained before the first class of Class 18, the bottom-ranking class, began.
Amid the gossiping voices of classmates, Su Qi blushed, heart pounding as he read the yuri masterpiece written by An Xiaoling.
It had to be said, perhaps it was the peculiar XP granted by An Xiaoling’s elfin abilities.
Every time he read her novel, the transformations between girls, the changes in attire, the interesting gameplay and novel stories, all felt fresh to Su Qi—as if a whole new world had opened before him.
Lost in thought, Su Qi suddenly noticed a figure blocking the light in front of him.
He instinctively looked up, and upon seeing who it was, the smile that had just been on his face vanished. Nervousness crept in.
“Ah… An Xiaoling, good morning!”
Today, An Xiaoling wore a somewhat revealing pair of hot pants, her delicate white feet clad in a pair of pale green cute ladies’ sandals.
Her toes, tinted a cherry pink, peeked out from the sandals.
Below the hot pants, her soft little legs looked adorable—if any lolicon were present, they might be tempted to commit a crime on the spot.
If An Xiaoling’s lower half was cute, her upper half left much to be desired.
Compared to Su Qi’s current chest, wrapped up and completely flat, her upper half showed a sparse chest, paired with a pair of intentionally oversized, thick-rimmed nerd glasses.
Her pale little face had freckles dotted here and there, and her skin was deliberately darkened with foundation, giving her a grayish, rustic look—a bit like a country bumpkin.
Seeing this fragile An Xiaoling suddenly standing before him, not even knowing how long she had been there, Su Qi honestly felt very flustered.
One reason was that he had just immersed himself in the novel, mentally taking on the role of ‘Sister Su,’ while now the real author, An Xiaoling, stood right beside him, making the situation awkward in every sense.
Another reason was that feeling An Xiaoling’s gaze, Su Qi—who never lied in daily life—worried instinctively that she might have seen through something.
Because of his nervousness, Su Qi’s greeting was awkward and unclear—somewhat like a scolded elementary school student caught playing on their phone by the teacher.
Fortunately, An Xiaoling didn’t notice anything unusual in his nervous greeting.
The next moment, she turned her head with a coquettish hum and passed by Su Qi.
Just as she passed, she said, “Ah, sorry, Su Qi, I think I just stepped on you!”
Feeling the familiar, light weight on his foot, and hearing An Xiaoling’s cheeky, bratty voice, Su Qi—who had been stepped on—did not get angry as usual; instead, he felt a faint relaxation within.
It seemed that An Xiaoling had come to his desk only to simply take revenge, not realizing that he was actually Su Su.
As Su Qi relaxed and returned his gaze to his phone, ignoring An Xiaoling, he once again lost himself in the world of the novel.
What he didn’t notice was An Xiaoling returning to her seat.
At this moment, her delicate, crimson lips curved up into a faint arc, revealing a mischievous little devil’s smile.
If the previous two discoveries were just coincidences, then Su Qi’s guilty expression, flustered demeanor, and the fact that he didn’t get angry but rather felt comforted after being stepped on were undeniable proof of her suspicion.
After all, if Su Qi weren’t Su Su, knowing she was the novel’s author, how could he not be angry about being stepped on for no reason?
Adding to that was the detail from three days ago, when Senior Lin Xue interacted with Su Qi in the cafeteria.
At this moment, everything suddenly became clear to An Xiaoling.
Su Su Sister… no, Su Qi, you’ve been exposed!!!
Hehehe, since you like reading my novel so much, let’s reenact every single scene from the story!
With this thought in mind, An Xiaoling didn’t open her notebook to write. Instead, she opened the Baby Tao app on her phone and searched for all kinds of girl outfits.
School swimsuits, this one’s good.
Two pairs of white stockings, and also tights.
Hot pants style, pretty cool.
Wedding dresses, just looking at them feels so pure!
If some sauce stains got on them, that could be dinner!
Cute costumes… I want one of each!
Right, since confessing directly to Su Qi might be awkward, I’ll download some… unmentionable computer accessories instead.
…
Without Mo Yu, her good deskmate, accompanying her in class today—
Without the faint, soothing sweetness nearby and a reliable partner to talk to—
Su Qi found the lesson unbearably dull. Deep down, there was an uneasy feeling of being watched.
After finishing the latest chapter of An Xiaoling’s novel, Su Qi looked up at the clock hanging on the blackboard.
It was exactly nine o’clock, with an hour left until class ended.
Because Class 18 was the bottom class, most lessons focused on guiding students to awaken their abilities, meaning Su Qi had heard this lesson many times before.
Bored out of his mind, Su Qi picked up his phone and planned to chat a bit with the injured but fierce Mo Yu.
Just as he opened the Tengxin App and the chat interface appeared, Su Qi saw a delightful notification.
【You have a red envelope pending collection. Please claim it promptly.】
Seeing this alert, Su Qi felt a bit excited.
Because of his many part-time jobs, he was part of several group chats where small gifts and bonus red envelopes were occasionally sent out.
Although the amounts were small, Su Qi enjoyed the thrill of grabbing red envelopes.
However, when he opened the pending items screen, he was slightly stunned.
The red envelope sender was none other than Lin Xue, the group leader of the Cangyou Wildcat Team, who had just joined yesterday.
The note on the red envelope explained its origin:
“Selling 6 Snake Spirit Fruits, 5,000 yuan per person.”
Looking at the large red envelope, Su Qi found it hard to believe.
Going on a Saint Ruins expedition to pick a few Snake Spirit Fruits was actually this profitable?
He had thought earning 300 yuan per Su Ji Bento was already quite good.
But compared to this, it was just a drop in the bucket!
Still, after a moment of shock, Su Qi soon calmed down.
Adventuring was an extremely high-risk profession; high risk naturally brought high reward, so earning more than a stable job was normal.
Besides, the Snake Spirit Fruit wasn’t easy to harvest.
Ordinary ability users, like ‘Li Jian’ last night, had failed to obtain a single one.
His Su Wife ability could be considered a minor form of cheating.
After his thoughts settled, seeing that everyone else had already claimed their envelopes, and being short on money himself, Su Qi clicked to claim his.
Watching his balance turn into a five-digit number for the first time, Su Qi’s mood brightened with this accumulation of wealth, and a new train of thought emerged.
What should he do with this large sum?
He didn’t need anything for himself right now.
His sister, Su Lulu’s medical bills, could be fully covered by the earnings from Su Ji Bento, so no worries there.
Without financial worries for these two, Su Qi quickly came up with a third idea.
Should he repay Sister Wen Yin the money she had been lending him to treat his sister?
Previously, regarding repaying Sister Wen Yin, although it was a bit shameful, Su Qi honestly hadn’t been very eager to do so.
One reason was that he truly lacked the means.
Another was a subtle thought: as long as there was a debt between two people, the relationship wouldn’t be severed.
Though somewhat petty, Su Qi hadn’t wanted to part ways with Sister Wen Yin.
But now, thinking of the incompatibility between his and Wen Yin’s abilities, and for her safety and happiness—
Su Qi thought it through and decided to harden his heart, starting with repaying the money.
This way, Wen Yin could slowly understand his feelings and, through the repayment, they could put some distance between them.
Opening the chat with ❤Wen Yin, Su Qi edited and sent the red envelope he had just received.
“Sister Wen Yin, here’s a 5,000 yuan red envelope. It’s still far less than what you’ve helped me with, but I will work hard to repay you fully.”
…
The moment after Su Qi sent this message,
what she didn’t know was… the phone receiving it, held in a familiar gentle and graceful hand, began to crack across the screen like a spiderweb.
Then, in a room full of Su Qi’s photos, a chilling, low, and slightly unhinged mature woman’s voice rang out.
“Xiaoqi, you want to keep your distance from Sister now? Hehe, you’re so naughty. If that’s the case, Sister really will have to punish you!!!”
