NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21
Chapter 021:
Lan Yuxi’s father worked for the criminal police team, and everyone knew how busy he was, right?
Basically, he was more than Qi Lin’s parents and rarely came home.
Her mother was a head nurse and worked overtime at the hospital daily.
So, Lan Yuxi usually eats out for lunch.
“Hey, Aunt Chen, I’m not coming home for lunch today.” Qi Lin called Aunt Chen at home.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Lan Yuxi, “Let’s go.”
“Go where?” Lan Yuxi was still unaware of what Qi Lin wanted to do.
“Of course, we’re going to eat. Since you’re not going home for lunch, I’m worried you’ll forget to copy my answer, so I’ll supervise you a bit.” Qi Lin said casually.
Lan Yuxi: “…”
“Have you been stalking me?” Lan Yuxi stared at Qi Lin with her eyes. How else would he know she wasn’t going home for lunch?
“Yep, I’m just a pervert stalking you every day.”
“Stop making up this nonsense. Hurry up and go eat, or you won’t have time to copy my answer later, and I’ll publish your scandalous photos.” Qi Lin said ‘sarcastically’.
Lan Yuxi blushed, feeling embarrassed and angry.
What scandalous photos? He made it sound like they had done something.
But Qi Lin was a bastard, and she couldn’t fight him.
Angered, she could only puff out her little mouth and follow behind Qi Lin.
“Boss, we’ll have a spicy chicken, a BBQ chicken, and two bottles of beer.”
“It’s my class monitor’s treat.”
Entering a restaurant near the school, Qi Lin said in a generous manner.
Hearing Qi Lin say she’d treat him, Lan Yuxi’s face froze.
“Hey, aren’t you rich? Why should I pay for your meal?” Lan Yuxi lowered her voice and asked in a dissatisfied tone.
Her dad was very strict with her. Although he allowed her to eat out, he only gave her a limited amount of money for each lunch.
If Qi Lin took a few yuan from her, her next lunch would have to be downgraded significantly.
“Your Wang Cheng eats and drinks at my place every day and makes me spend hundreds of yuan. What’s wrong with me forcing his girlfriend to pay?” Qi Lin leaned back comfortably in his chair, opened a soda with his teeth, and drank it.
Hiss!
Drinking soda in the summer was so refreshing.
Hearing Qi Lin’s shameless words, Lan Yuxi felt both ashamed and furious.
“Qi Lin, I warn you not to say it again. I have nothing to do with Wang Cheng, let alone being his girlfriend. If you joke around again, I won’t let it slide.” It was unbearable for a young girl like Lan Yuxi to bear such words.
Promises were promises; however, speaking them out loud made Lan Yuxi embarrassed.
“Oh, you aren’t Wang Cheng’s girlfriend? Then, when I kissed you earlier, why did you act like you failed to protect something important? Your reaction was so exaggerated.” Qi Lin asked in surprise.
“To be honest, kissing you is quite refreshing and sweet. If you have nothing to do with Wang Cheng, can you kiss me again?” Qi Lin pursed his lips and teased.
“Yuck! Even if I have nothing to do with Wang Cheng, I won’t kiss you.”
Faced with Qi Lin’s lecherous words, Lan Yuxi turned her blushing face away and didn’t want to talk to this scoundrel.
Soon, the meal was over, and Lan Yuxi also paid for Qi Lin’s meal.
After eating, Lan Yuxi took out paper and pen and copied answers for Qi Lin.
If it were in the morning, Lan Yuxi wouldn’t have believed she would treat lunch to Qi Lin and help cheat him on his test.
But just after a morning, Lan Yuxi’s karma caught up with her.
Life was unpredictable in the end.
“Here.”
Lan Yuxi was pretty fast, and her handwriting was neat and beautiful.
Although she cheated, she still deserved the title of top student.
Qi Lin didn’t even look at the answers and stuffed them into his pocket.
His purpose in having Lan Yuxi copy answers for him wasn’t about cheating or getting high grades. Those were trivial for him.
The extra set of this cheating sheet was actually just another trap he prepared for Wang Cheng.
However, Qi Lin’s action made Lan Yuxi frown slightly.
Qi Lin treated her hard work rudely, making her unhappy. But thinking of Qi Lin’s nature, she sighed inwardly.
Qi Lin wasn’t Wang Cheng; what kind of behavior could she expect from him?
“Come with me.”
Qi Lin stood up and pulled Lan Yuxi’s arm as if he wanted to take her somewhere.
But Lan Yuxi couldn’t help but resist at this point.
“I copied the answers for you and agreed to buy you water in the afternoon. What else do you want?” Lan Yuxi angrily shook off Qi Lin’s hand.
“Are you worried I will bully you again? I promise not to touch you today. I’m just taking you to get my car. It was scratched yesterday and is currently in the repair shop.”
“After getting the car, I’ll take you to pick up someone. That’s it.” Qi Lin explained with a shrug.
Hearing Qi Lin promise not to bully her and that he was getting his car and picking someone up, Lan Yuxi gradually let go of her guard.
Qi Lin usually drove a luxury car to school, but Lan Yuxi didn’t see it today.
This meant that Qi Lin wasn’t lying to her.
“My bottom line has been trampled by you today. If I find out you’re lying to me, even if you publish those photos, I’ll still fight you.”
Lan Yu Xi warned Qi Lin with a pout and finally agreed.
But little did she know, even if it was just picking up a car and someone, it was still a trap set by Qi Lin.
If Lan Yuxi knew who Qi Lin was picking up, she probably wouldn’t go at all.
