“And Little Spark, when I started feeling sleepy, I knew for sure I wouldn’t be killed.”
“At worst, I’d get felt up.”
Su Yichen chuckled. “Based on my experience of being drugged so many times,”
“If someone wanted to do something really naughty to me, they wouldn’t use a drug that knocks me out cold.”
“They’d need to leave me with just enough hazy, instinctive awareness for them to have their fun.”
“Otherwise, it’s just getting off on a corpse. What fun is that? It’s not perfect, and it doesn’t fit Mo Qingqiu’s intelligence.”
“Even if it might be her first time doing something like this, I think she’d understand that much.”
Medicine really is a strange and useful thing.
Su Yichen couldn’t help but recall Mo Qingqiu’s coffee; the added ingredient was colorless and odorless, so much so that even he couldn’t taste it.
Among all his fate patterns, the most practical was the [Elf Princess] fate pattern.
Not only did it grant him a superb healing talent that gave him a specialty in the Magical Illusion Realm, but it also permanently conferred the identity and physique of an “Elf Princess.”
The physique of the “Elf Princess” was practically a universal furnace born to be harvested.
Setting that aside, there was also the triple immunity.
It could grant immunity to malice, immunity to curses, and immunity to disease.
But drugs…
Were not included.
Su Yichen felt that his talent tree was getting more and more off track.
“Mm… why didn’t you say so earlier!” Little Spark seemed a bit regretful and unwilling, then continued:
“Then… Mr. Su, what if it was Senior Sister Mo Qingqiu herself who came?”
“If it was herself…”
Just as Su Yichen was about to explain to Little Spark, a knock-knock-knock sounded at the door.
“Looks like we have a guest.”
“I had considered that Mo Qingqiu might feed me something strange. The only thing I didn’t expect was how fast she acted.”
“I’ve been in the void realm for so long, and I’ve never seen anyone so desperate for sex.”
“The only ones who want to sleep with me within a day of meeting are succubi and dark elves.”
“So that’s part of why I suspect Mo Qingqiu is trying to cover her tracks. But yesterday she kissed me, which gave her a reason to come drug me today.”
“But Little Spark, none of this matters for now.”
Su Yichen left his seat and walked toward the door.
“I just need to remember—and make Mo Qingqiu understand—that the girl I like most is her.”
“I’ve always liked her.”
“That’s enough.”
“It seems my lovely Sister Qingqiu doesn’t realize that from the moment she tried to seduce me yesterday—”
“She was already a character in the drama.”
With that, Su Yichen cut off the communication with Little Spark, placed his hand on the door handle, and pressed down.
She will fall.
***
Under a white parasol, Mo Qingqiu leisurely sipped her juice.
Today’s play was a good appetizer, she thought.
When she saw Su Yichen on the screen stand up to open the door, the surveillance feed disappeared. She put away her laptop and placed it in her small backpack.
Mo Qingqiu fell into thought.
“Should I show this to Luo Yueli and Tong Ya…”
Luo Yueli aside for now, but Tong Ya…
She really wanted to show these two girls the footage—the look of complete fury on Luo Yueli’s face.
Mo Qingqiu could imagine that even the Eldest Miss of the Tong Clan would find these scenes hard to stomach.
But…
It’s still not enough…
The three of them haven’t gotten tangled up yet.
Mo Qingqiu felt she needed to find an opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Once they truly fall in love…
Then it’ll be fun to give it to them.
Moreover…
How can just kissing be enough?
They need to go further…
For example…
As she thought, Mo Qingqiu recalled how today Shen Ran had pinned Su Yichen down and furiously kissed him for two hours.
And the unforgettable sensation on her lips from yesterday.
Somehow, Mo Qingqiu suddenly felt a bit depressed and annoyed.
It was as if there was a lump in her chest that she couldn’t expel.
“I really should have tasted him first.”
Mo Qingqiu, who had been in a good mood, felt that it was no longer so pleasant.
Anyone who knows that someone who likes them—and such a perfect person at that—is being pinned down by someone else and having things done that they themselves haven’t done would find it hard to accept.
This is human greed.
Mo Qingqiu knew that, after all, she was human too, and she also had greed.
And she had clearly heard through the earpiece just now that the first thing Su Yichen did when he woke up was call her name.
‘He… really likes me?’
‘Impossible. Su Yichen definitely knows I brought him the coffee.’
‘He’s hostile.’
‘He’s lying.’
‘We’re kindred spirits.’
‘This man never belonged to me, nor to anyone.’
Thinking this, Mo Qingqiu felt much better.
But she didn’t notice that at this moment, she was tightly gripping the strap of her small backpack.
The force was so great that her originally snow-white fingers took on a faint red hue.
After several minutes, Mo Qingqiu finally calmed down.
“Hah—”
She picked up her bag and walked toward the office building of the School Literature and Art Union Department.
“Shen Ran?”
When he saw who it was, a flicker of surprise passed through Su Yichen’s eyes.
It wasn’t that he was surprised Shen Ran had appeared, but rather that the timing was delicate.
It was a little…
A bit like when Luo Yueli had appeared on the rooftop that day.
But today Shen Ran was dressed very beautifully.
A sprout-colored long dress that suited her slender figure, her fair, tender feet in a pair of brand-new strappy sandals, her toes as small as cardamom.
It seemed she had gotten a manicure; looking down, the girl’s toenails were a bright, girlish pink.
Shen Ran smiled slightly and greeted Su Yichen.
“Su Yichen.”
“Is your work done?”
The girl’s face was calm, but how fast her heart was beating now…
Only she herself probably knew.
‘He shouldn’t have found out it was me, right?’
‘I cleaned up so thoroughly… I covered up the scent of my shampoo…’
Shen Ran smiled brightly, even with a hint of cloying sweetness.
Under her long eyelashes, her eyes curved like crescent moons, as if hiding something.
Before coming, Shen Ran had done a lot of homework. In the short span of a few dozen minutes, she had rehearsed in front of the mirror dozens of times.
She knew well how terrifying Su Yichen’s insight was. To deceive him…
She had to first deceive herself.
She had to achieve self-deception first.
Shen Ran now did her best to relax her body and make her tone sound normal.
She glanced at Su Yichen’s lips, where the evidence of her recent crime still remained.
The boy’s red, luscious lips and the faintly visible kiss marks on his fair skin seemed to accuse her of the crimes of the past two hours.
Even though she had tidied up, no matter how you looked at it…
There was an air of disarray.
Shen Ran knew that was the mark she had left on Su Yichen.
Seeing this, the girl, now with a perfectly clear head, finally understood.
Just how greedy she had been at that moment.
How crazy.
