Qin Sheng cried out, “Wah,” leaning her head against his shoulder, choking back tears as she said, “Xi Yan~~”
“… It’s just a cup of milk tea, it’s not that serious, right?”
Shen Xiyan really wanted to tell himself that Qin Sheng was just pretending.
But her tears fell like they were free, one by one hitting the ground, breaking his heart.
He took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her.
Qin Sheng was happily taking advantage of him… uh! She was actually feeling sad and didn’t take it.
“Would you rather wipe yourself with me than use the tissue?”
Qin Sheng buried her face deep into Shen Xiyan’s chest, twisting her body, and said coquettishly, “This tissue is for wiping down there after I use the restroom… how could I use it on my face? TMD, that makes perfect sense!!”
Then she shoved Qin Sheng away.
Qin Sheng looked utterly wronged, begging for a hug and comfort.
Shen Xiyan didn’t agree.
So Qin Sheng immediately put on a timid little kitten expression, but it still didn’t “move” Shen Xiyan’s heart of stone.
“Drink your milk tea… or it’ll get cold in a bit…”
Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng wiped her nose with the tissue, still struggling to hold back tears, her eyes red around the rims, and started whining again, “Drinking milk tea will make me fat, wuwuwu~~”
At this moment, if a gentle guy were here, he would say: “Even if you get fat, I’d still like you.”
Then be KO’d by the girl with, “How dare you say I’m fat?!”
The correct response is, “You clearly won’t get fat.”
Or, more sophisticatedly, “You’re actually too thin now; gaining a little weight would make you look even better.”
Shen Xiyan was none of these. He pinched Qin Sheng’s cheek, squishing it into an “O” shape, and snarled, “I went all the way to the walking street to buy this. You dare not drink it? I’ll beat you till you die, believe it?”
“Am I scared?!”
Qin Sheng stared straight into Shen Xiyan’s beautiful eyes, fearless, “Come on! Stab me! Black knife in, red knife out! If I scream once…”
Suddenly she fell silent for a few seconds.
Shen Xiyan stared coldly at her, “Why’d you stop?”
Qin Sheng had none of the self-awareness a fool playing with fire should have; instead, she shamelessly acted spoiled: “… Just be gentle, okay?”
Two veins bulged on Shen Xiyan’s forehead: “… No more milk tea next time.”
“Oh, come on! I’m just joking, why so serious? You came just in time; I’m dying of thirst.”
With a “plop,” before Shen Xiyan could pierce Qin Sheng, she pierced the cup lid first with the straw.
The sweet, fragrant taste flooded her mouth, and paired with Shen Xiyan’s expression as seasoning, Qin Sheng’s mood instantly lifted.
“… So sweet, did you add sugar?”
“Full sugar.”
“No wonder… but why didn’t you add your Deoxyribose? That’s what I want to eat most.” Qin Sheng sipped little by little, looking up at him with big eyes, her expression inevitably a little disappointed.
Shen Xiyan: “…”
“But still, thank you. I really didn’t expect you to buy it for me.” Qin Sheng covered her mouth, a secretive little smile.
Once truly familiar, that aloof goddess vibe completely vanished.
Shen Xiyan would occasionally miss it.
“So how should I thank you? Saying thanks sounds so insincere.” Qin Sheng’s sly smile, mischievous like a fox whose scheme succeeded: “How about this? You treat me to milk tea, and I’ll treat you to fresh milk or Barley Tea?”
Shen Xiyan was initially unsure what Qin Sheng meant, but that smile and expression were so familiar, he understood.
Qin Sheng immediately dropped the sly smile, put on a serious little face, and shook her head, “Barley Tea feels kind of weird… Fresh milk is out of the question. But I have two Pink Cherries and one Red Bean, want some?”
“Get lost!”
Qin Sheng looked like she was about to cry again, pulling out two cherries and a Red Bean from her bag and placing them in front of Shen Xiyan. “Why so fierce? Is it wrong to treat you?”
Shen Xiyan:
A mix of truth and deception, the art of war.
Qin Sheng was really “bored.” Who would carry those things around just to see him get embarrassed?
… I get it, you’re not thinking what I think you’re thinking, right?
Qin Sheng’s pale face panicked, and her eyes revealed uncontrollable disgust and disdain as she scolded, “Pervert! Brute! Wolf! Why would I give you that? What do you take me for?”
“… Maybe I shouldn’t have come today. Now that Auntie is fine, I’m relieved. You take good care of her here.”
Shen Xiyan made a move to leave, but Qin Sheng suddenly reached out, wrapped her arms around Shen Xiyan’s neck, kissed his cheek with a smack, and her eyes sparkled brilliantly.
“I haven’t thanked you yet!”
Seeing Qin Sheng’s expression, Shen Xiyan immediately guessed her intentions without hesitation, pushing himself up with force.
But Qin Sheng was just as quick, flipping over and rolling on top of him.
In the end, the agile Qin Sheng was one step faster, straddling Shen Xiyan’s thigh, lifting her face and softly calling, “Xi Yan, I’m really touched~~”
Her voice soft and sultry, cheeks slightly flushed.
Her bright eyes shimmered with shyness and joy…
The youthful look of a girl in first love was fully displayed.
Her face full of blossoming spring love, as if she wanted to write the words “I want to conceive” right there.
“Get lost!”
Shen Xiyan’s head tilted back, a little uncomfortable with her moves.
Now he could feel the smoothness between her legs, and she could feel the burning heat from him.
“Xi Yan~~”
Qin Sheng’s face turned red, the blush spreading to her ears, her bright eyes slowly becoming dazed, and in a voice as delicate as a mosquito’s buzz she said, “Eat me…”
“I’m not a cannibal. Get off.”
“I am!”
Qin Sheng’s thick lashes trembled, her pale face fully flushed, and without warning, she clamped her legs around Shen Xiyan’s waist, blushing uncontrollably: “Then let me eat you, I like you so much, I can’t stand it.”
This was Qin Sheng’s only obsession now.
She firmly believed that at this age… once a boy tastes a girl’s flavor even once, he’d drown in her body.
Shen Xiyan expressionless watched Qin Sheng.
At first, she bravely met his gaze, but after a moment, shyly closed her eyes, her lashes trembling violently.
After a long while with no response, she opened her eyes, lips parted slightly with a quiver, “Aren’t you going to say something?”
“If you don’t want to hear something really disgusting, I suggest you let go immediately… for the hospital’s sake.”
“Don’t” Qin Sheng desperately hinted, “If not, you can also try a little gentle touch”
Shen Xiyan expressionless, dark-faced, looked at the empty space beside him.
Meaning: “You TMD get off me right now! And by the way, apologize to Chengyu!”
Right now, Qin Sheng seemed to carry the Siren buff naturally.
Even though she had no knowledge or experience in that regard—probably less than a JK who had changed beds—she relied entirely on her mouth.
“Alright… but I have some good news to tell you.”
“Get down first!”
Qin Sheng pretended not to hear, a smirk at the corner of her mouth: “I heard Huang Zhen got into a car accident!”
Shen Xiyan was stunned, “… Car accident???”
“Yeah, Auntie said he’s in the ICU, seems pretty serious.”
Shen Xiyan paused, his eyes complicated: “… You did this?”
Qin Sheng acted as if someone had stepped on her tail, yelling, “What does it have to do with me? It’s clearly karma!”
Shen Xiyan was puzzled, feeling slapped in the face by his earlier confident guess.
He believed in fighting violence with violence but didn’t favor it.
Only this time it involved Auntie, so he turned a blind eye.
There was no way not to.
They’d only known each other a week. How could he possibly know Qin Sheng’s true personality?
Emotionally, she really believed Qin Sheng did all this.
A poor wallet can never beat a fat one.
And money was worthless in front of power—that was an eternal truth.
Qin Sheng’s family just happened to be rich and powerful.
Wanting to get rid of a Huang Zhen was way too easy for them.
What was impossible for Auntie was just a word for Qin Sheng.
But logically, it didn’t fit Qin Sheng’s style; she would have bragged about it if she’d done it.
“Qin Sheng isn’t bullying because of power, she’s just fighting back hard.”
Shen Xiyan’s tone softened a bit: “… Got it. Get down already, or I’ll have to scold you.”
“Oh~”
Qin Sheng smoothly slid off Shen Xiyan’s lap, not forgetting to pinch his waist hard, her cheeks flushed, “I was alone here with Auntie, and you come and bring me milk tea. You don’t even care I’m hungry?”
Shen Xiyan frowned, “Why didn’t you tell me? Didn’t that auntie cook for you? Impossible, you’re her boss, aren’t you?”
“The mouth above is full…”
Shen Xiyan’s forehead veins burst completely.
Qin Sheng kept mumbling, “The Chinese always say good begets good and evil begets evil. What about the opposite?”
“Cut it out! You really never stop talking, huh? Get lost, get lost!”
Shen Xiyan slapped Qin Sheng, flipping her onto the bench.
Qin Sheng was annoyed, “You’re so stubborn with me! Who’s that fierce to a girl?”
She only said it but wasn’t really bothered, actually felt kind of good.
Shen Xiyan probably hadn’t noticed how their relationship deepened with each “get lost” incident.
He silently reflected.
Qin Sheng wasn’t like this in her past life, so was it his problem?
Fortunately, she was reborn.
If this had been some virgin boy, who could tolerate Qin Sheng like this?
He’d surrender in seconds.
“… Xi Yan! Xi Yan!”
Qin Sheng sucked on the straw, pinching and tugging on Shen Xiyan’s shirt hem, “While I wasn’t at school these days, did you behave? Didn’t go after any Sirens, right? Like that Lin Ci…”
Shen Xiyan played dead.
Staring at the “Hand Surgery” sign, his gaze strangely sad.
Qin Sheng noticed and comforted him, “Don’t worry, it’s just a minor surgery. Auntie will be fine.”
She worked hard to lighten the mood but failed in the end.
Well, whatever. With him/her by her side, they could do anything.
At that moment, Shen Xiyan’s phone rang—it was on special care.
Qin Sheng’s face slowly turned grim.
Shen Xiyan never used flashy stuff like this.
Who the hell could make him set someone as special care?
I swear I’ll kill you if I find out!
