Did you know?
That means Lin Qingya has a crush on Chen Qing, so your girlfriend’s heart isn’t proper, not…
Cough! Cough!
Suddenly, Fang Xiaopang’s shirt was grabbed by Cheng Minghao, who shouted in surprise,
“Y-You—what are you doing?! Let go?!”
“Ah?!”
The girls also exclaimed,
“Let go, don’t hit him! Something will happen!”
“Yeah, yeah, even if you want to defend your girlfriend, this isn’t the way!”
Amidst the girls’ exclamations and protests, Cheng Minghao pulled Fang Xiaopang’s clothes, his expression unhappy and even gloomy.
“Apologize to her. Admit you were wrong. Say it in front of your classmates.”
“I… I was wrong.”
Fang Xiaopang’s face turned red, and he immediately admitted defeat.
“Whew!”
Finally, Fang Xiaopang was released and ran off.
A group of female classmates, worried the situation would escalate again and also harboring intentions of getting close to Cheng Minghao, started gathering around him with soft words.
Cheng Minghao had never been rough with girls or used foul language — that was well-known.
So none of the girls were afraid of him turning hostile.
They surrounded him closely, trying to win him over and tempt him.
At the back of the classroom.
Lin Qingya watched as Fang Xiaopang and Cheng Minghao clashed.
She also heard Fang Xiaopang speak the ‘truth’ to Cheng Minghao.
Her face became even paler, and she even considered avoiding Cheng Minghao after school and leaving alone.
To find a Park bench and sit by herself.
But after some hesitation, she still wanted to try and save the situation, to make up for it.
She didn’t want Cheng Minghao to know she was a revived monster, so she wanted to keep up the pretense.
She adjusted her mood, displaying a patience and endurance beyond her age.
She took a deep breath and walked toward Cheng Minghao with a smile.
“Haohao~”
Lin Qingya’s tone was gentle as she slowly approached Cheng Minghao.
When she reached the outer edge of the circle of girls, she frowned at the crowd.
These girls were packed tightly, some even pressing their bodies fully against Cheng Minghao!
They were giving him a ‘girl group’ N-to-1 benefit right there.
Lin Qingya frowned and immediately quickened her pace, adjusting her mood to rush in and rescue him.
“Hey, hey, move aside, move aside!”
She shouted, pushing and squeezing through.
They were all girls, so no one cared about personal space and let themselves be shoved together.
Many girls were around, some with their backs turned, not noticing her arrival.
But the girls directly in front saw her and realized the ‘main character’ and ‘official match’ had arrived.
So they backed away honestly, stepping aside with disappointed expressions, making half a step of space.
Lin Qingya squeezed into the center.
Forcing a smile, she said nervously to Cheng Minghao,”I came to rescue you! Don’t let these pretty female classmates steal your soul!”
Though there was a smile on Lin Qingya’s face,and though she tried to adjust her mood to ‘good’,her pale complexion was still noticed by both the girls and Cheng Minghao.
“Qingya! Qingya!”
Some girls protested, ignoring her poor complexion and pouting as they called out,
“The way you say it, it’s like we’re Little Fox Spirits stealing your little boyfriend. We just finally got a chance while you weren’t here…”
“Steal my boyfriend while I’m not around?!”
Lin Qingya forced herself to retort.
Meanwhile, Cheng Minghao, one of the main figures, wore a gloomy expression, both on his face and in his heart.
But there was also a sweetness at having their relationship acknowledged by his ‘girlfriend’.
He should have been overjoyed.
But now, because of Lin Qingya’s pallor, he remained silent, calmly watching the scene.
He just observed, listening to Lin Qingya and the girls argue, watching them bicker, debate, and get jealous over him.
Cheng Minghao pondered how he should comfort Lin Qingya, whether to reveal or conceal her wounded heart.
Should he find out the source of her fear and heal it?
Or simply offer a hug and pamper her without asking questions?
As Cheng Minghao was deep in thought,
The girls’ lively disputes continued both inside and out.
One girl grabbed the School Regulations as a weapon and launched an attack at Lin Qingya:
“Hey! You’re so shameless. You’re still a high school student! The school doesn’t allow dating. How can you admit he’s your boyfriend?”
Lin Qingya’s pale face turned slightly red, tinged with a young girl’s blush, as she explained,
“I didn’t admit he was my boyfriend. The two of us are just… good friends, neighbors, who grew up together since childhood.”
“If he wants a girlfriend, he has to get my permission. I don’t approve of this marriage, so none of you can hope to take the spot! Hmph! Let’s go,”
Pretending to be angry, Lin Qingya suppressed her unease and panic, pulling at Cheng Minghao as if nothing had happened.
“
Haohao, let’s go home and ignore these bad girls.
All they know is craving your body, never studying hard or striving to improve themselves, always talking about love and flirting with boys.
Flirting with other people’s boyfriends every day, really a bunch of Little Fox… cute Little Fox Spirits!”
“Hey! You actually called us cute Little Fox Spirits?! Even if we are, you’re better at seducing men! You even took the male god!”
A girl retorted.
“Exactly! How dare you call us cute… cute Little Fox Spirits?!”
Some girls wanted to argue back, but when they said ‘cute,’ their tone suddenly softened.
“Yes, Fox Spirits! Fox Spirits, stinky Fox Spirits that are super cute and super pretty! Are you satisfied now?! Hmph!”
Lin Qingya carefully noticed that Cheng Minghao didn’t press her with questions.
She relaxed a little.
She gently pulled Cheng Minghao away,
Walking ahead to shield him from the surrounding ‘alluring’ girls trying to tempt or seduce him.
A group of high school girls looked at each other, feeling dizzy from being ‘insulted’ (?)
Were they being scolded for being Fox Spirits?
For being seductive Fox Spirits, stinky Fox Spirits who lured men?
Or were they being complimented for being cute, pretty, and sexy?
In this strange atmosphere,
Lin Qingya managed to pull her boyfriend away, saving Cheng Minghao from the sea of female temptation and escaping the abyss.
“Here~ Move things, tidy up. But before that, wait for me — I’ll go buy a cardboard box.”
Lin Qingya barely managed to calm herself.
She stood by Chen Qing’s desk — or rather, Fang Xiaopang’s — and pointed at Chen Qing’s desk and books.
She reached into her pocket, but except for her pink compact mirror, she had no money at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingya glanced at Cheng Minghao guiltily.
Suddenly she realized that besides possibly trading herself for rent or being kept, all her food and expenses were paid for by Cheng Minghao.
Originally, they were all orphans and had to work part-time to supplement living expenses.
Now, Lin Qingya’s money was all in her room.
She didn’t know the password and couldn’t get it out — it was like having nothing at all.
Now, apart from her body and identity, Lin Qingya basically started from scratch.
In this situation, Cheng Minghao had been sticking close to her, indulging in their time together.
They tangled together every day, squeezed onto a narrow sofa or a cramped bathroom.
In such a situation…
Whether little brother stinks or is strong didn’t matter.
Just Cheng Minghao’s finances alone…
Lin Qingya felt like she was truly being kept.
It was time to think of ways to earn money again.
And if, because of Fang Xiaopang’s words, Cheng Minghao became suspicious and tried to probe her…
Doubt her…
Expose her identity…
Lin Qingya suddenly looked down, a wry smile appearing on her face.
But just as she was about to fall into despair,
A gentle, warm breath — and a pair of soft, masculine lips — touched her earlobe.
Her earlobe was lightly bitten by the boy, softly held between his lips.
She let out a faint, delicate gasp.
The warmth by her ear and the solid, reliable heat behind her slowly melted the cold in her heart.
A ray of light shone into her soul.
“It’s okay. I’m here. No matter what, I’m always here. I’ll protect you. Just now… I’m sorry I didn’t protect you well.”
Cheng Minghao admitted his mistake, apologizing.
Hearing his words, Lin Qingya’s eyes filled with tears.
In an instant, they slid down her small nose and pale, rosy lips.
She turned to Cheng Minghao, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him softly.
“Bang!”
The back door of the classroom suddenly slammed.
“Cheng Minghao! Lin Qingya!”
The homeroom teacher shouted angrily from behind.
“You two, come to the office!”
“…?!”
Lin Qingya froze, stunned.
Her touched and sorrowful emotions were instantly shattered.
She was instantly pulled back to the ‘school reality.’
