Mo Qingqiu thought it over and immediately made a phone call.
“By the way, that woman seems to be a glasses fetishist.”
She had to send something to Shen Ran, to cheer her up.
That was what a caring senior should do for her junior.
“Send me a pair of glasses.”
“Yes… pure gold frames, rimless.”
“Exquisite craftsmanship, beautiful, and fast.”
After hanging up, Mo Qingqiu, usually mature and reserved, put down her phone and clenched her fists like a little girl.
Now, it was time to prepare some foreplay for this grand performance.
Watching others’ dramas always got Mo Qingqiu excited.
As for Su Yichen’s confession…
The girl didn’t take it to heart. She thought he was lying.
He was a liar.
Even though, in Mo Qingqiu’s eyes, Su Yichen’s words did carry some sincerity, her desire to watch the fun still won out. She kept him around just to see the show.
Besides…
Su Yichen was probably lying.
Feelings…
We’re all kindred, I like you?
Who would believe that?
Big sister is looking forward to your performance, little brother Yichen.
Her expression faded.
Relying on years of experience being toyed with, the moment Su Yichen left Mo Qingqiu’s office, he quickly hid the shy look on his face.
“This little freshman girl sure has guts. Isn’t she afraid of getting addicted to kissing?”
He could tell at a glance that Mo Qingqiu was doing this kind of seduction for the first time.
Even though he was a worn-out shoe everyone could use, it was forced. Naturally, he had to play along and not seem too experienced.
He had to maintain his innocent character persona.
“Huh?”
“Where is she?”
Su Yichen slowly let out a question mark.
Today was really strange.
He came to see Mo Qingqiu, planning to pursue her as a kindred spirit, only to be seen through.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have been stuck.
He really couldn’t figure out why he was exposed.
Shen Ran tipping her off?
Unlikely.
Su Yichen still had some judgment about people. Shen Ran would never betray him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to help her in the first place, nor agreed to be friends with her.
Given Shen Ran’s personality and her admiration for him, his place in her heart was no lower than Mo Qingqiu’s.
Shen Ran wasn’t stupid at all. She understood many things clearly.
She was a girl with strong will.
Just like when he asked her about Mo Qingqiu that day, Shen Ran’s words must have been carefully held back.
Similarly, she might have mentioned him to Mo Qingqiu, but there was no way she spilled everything.
How did that woman know he was deliberately trying to win her over?
Then what was the situation…
Did she have some precognitive superpower?
But this was a [modern urban] background void realm, not [Superpower City].
Could it really be a guess?
And now the little spark was nowhere to be found.
Rubbing his throbbing forehead, Su Yichen pulled a cigarette from the pack and slowly walked toward the elevator.
The only good news was that he didn’t have to worry about money for now.
Mo Qingqiu was generous enough to keep him by her side.
Starting tomorrow, he would work as her secretary.
At least this Miss Mo didn’t seem to have a hobby of using under-the-table rules on her secretaries.
Otherwise, he would have been exploited by her for free.
Not a single bit of love value given.
As soon as he reached the ground floor, Su Yichen received a reply from the little spark.
“What’s up, what’s up? Mr. Su~”
“Where did you go just now?”
Su Yichen had just stepped out of the building and sat down on an empty bench.
“Little spark went out for a bit~ took a long trip, just got back.”
In the void realm space, Spark hugged the [Perception Link] skill experience card she had just traded from another assistant, grinning so hard she nearly drooled.
She thought she would have to spend money to buy it, but it turned out to be free—that assistant gave it to her!
That way, the saved money could be used for other things.
When the time came, as long as she used this card, she could experience the joy of other girls using Mr. Su as a bench!
And Mr. Su would never know~
Next, she just had to find an opportunity to let other girls use Mr. Su as a bench~
She needed to figure out a way for girls to ride Mr. Su like a wooden horse~
“Hehehe…”
Thinking of this, Spark’s voice grew louder:
“Mr. Su, Spark is your assistant now. No assistant dares to bully me!”
“Alright, alright, I get it.”
Su Yichen waved his hand and asked:
“During the time I was talking to Mo Qingqiu, did her love value and hatred value change at all?”
It seemed this girl had gone out to play with friends, which wasn’t bad.
He just hoped her friends were smart enough to guide her a bit.
“No, no increase, no decrease.”
“So Mo Qingqiu didn’t feel anything at all.”
Su Yichen scratched his head, feeling a bit of a headache.
He had put in so much effort, and yet she showed no reaction.
Really tough.
Forget it, let’s go grab a good meal first.
Mo Qingqiu had advanced him half a month’s salary—four hundred a day.
That woman was generous.
Just as Su Yichen took out his phone and was thinking about which restaurant to go to, a “ding” sounded. Libao’s VX message came through.
【Yichen, where are you?】
Su Yichen initially didn’t want to reply, but then he thought about how Luo Yueli’s appearance this morning was far too suspicious.
The most likely connection was Shen Ran.
He had carefully considered this later and figured she probably followed Shen Ran secretly.
Either that, or she ran into him on the way and tailed him from there.
It seemed he really couldn’t avoid her.
Since he couldn’t avoid her, he might as well face her head-on.
Su Yichen: 【I’m at the school’s literary and artistic union department.】
Luo Yueli: 【Literary and artistic union department? Is there a department activity today?】
Su Yichen thought for a moment, his fingertips tapping quickly:
【I have some business. Senior Mo Qingqiu called me over.】
The “typing…” indicator in the chat window flickered on and off, as if she was editing a message while thinking about what to send.
This time, Luo Yueli’s reply came after a short pause.
Luo Yueli: 【I see.】
【Are you free now? I’ll come find you.】
Su Yichen: 【I’m done. I’ve already left. Is there something you need?】
Luo Yueli: 【Yeah, let’s have dinner together tonight. Just you, me, and Xiaoya.】
Seeing this, Su Yichen seemed to understand a bit.
Last night, Luo Yueli invited me…
I refused, and that’s why things turned out the way they did…
Could it be that she planned for the three of us to eat together?
But how did she know Shen Ran would be with me?
Thinking it over, Su Yichen felt more like Luo Yueli had staked him out and followed him, rather than Shen Ran.
Su Yichen: 【Alright, I’ll come to the girls’ dormitory to find you two.】
***
After replying to Luo Yueli, Su Yichen put away his phone and left.
September 24, 4:00 PM, cloudy.
Shen Ran, who had just returned from the library, received a message from Mo Qingqiu.
Mo Qingqiu: 【Shen Ran, come to the school literary and artistic union department. I’m in my office waiting for you.】
【Fourth chapter, 2600 monthly tickets bonus chapter, done. Sleep.】
【Sleep on the diary.】
【Alright? You little bitch?】
