Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

Qin Luo slowly turned around, still clutching the black underwear in her hand, and met the gaze of Liu Piaopiao, who was holding a breakfast bag and staring in disbelief.

Time seems to have frozen.

"Teacher Liu, I can explain."

Qin Luo said dryly.

Liu Piaopiao's face flushed red at a visible speed, from her neck all the way to her ears.

"Qin, Luo!"

"This is a misunderstanding!"

Qin Luo hurriedly jumped off the stool.

"It fell on my head by itself! I just wanted to hang it back up!"

Liu Piaopiao slammed the breakfast on the table, rushed over in three steps, and snatched the underwear.

"Pervert! Pervert! How could you...!"

"Really! I swear!"

Qin Luo raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I swear to God, it really fell down by itself!"

Liu Piaopiao's chest heaved violently with anger, and her black bra was crumpled in her hands.

"Then why don't you just put it on the sofa? Why do you have to... why do you have to?"

"I was thinking of hanging it back for you!"

Qin Luo wanted to cry but had no tears.

Who knew you'd come back at this time?

Liu Piaopiao seemed to be trying to calm herself down.

Do you know why I came back?

Qin Luo shook his head.

"I took a day off specifically to take you to that newly opened dim sum restaurant!"

Liu Piaopiao gritted her teeth.

"The first thing I saw when I walked in was you playing with my underwear!"

"I didn't play!"

Qin Luo desperately tried to explain.

"This was an accident! Teacher Liu, you know me, how could I do such a thing?"

Liu Piaopiao narrowed her eyes and scrutinized him, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and another piece of clothing on the clothes rack fluttered down, landing right on Qin Luo's face.

Qin Luo froze on the spot; this time she was wearing a silk nightgown.

Liu Piaopiao's expression changed from anger to disbelief, and finally she burst out laughing.

"Looks like my clothes rack has a grudge against you."

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Qin Luo suddenly sat up in bed, his forehead still covered in cold sweat.

He had a nightmare in which he was chased and beaten by all the girls in the school, who mistook him for a pervert.

He rubbed his temples, picked up his phone, and saw that it was already 8:30 in the morning.

"Damn, I overslept!"

Qin Luo jumped out of bed with a somersault and rushed to the balcony.

The underwear he hung out to dry last night was still dripping wet. He reached out to grab it, but accidentally knocked over the clothesline.

With a "click," the clothesline fell onto the balcony downstairs.

Qin Luo's heart skipped a beat; that was Liu Piaopiao's balcony!

He cautiously peeked out and happened to see Liu Piaopiao bending down to pick up the clothesline pole.

She was wearing a light blue dress today, and when she bent over, the hem of the dress lifted slightly, revealing a section of her fair calves.

Qin Luo froze on the spot, his mind blank.

Oh no, oh no, now I'm in deep trouble no matter what.

Liu Piaopiao would definitely think he was a pervert who was deliberately spying.

Just as he was at a loss, Liu Piaopiao raised her head and shook the clothesline pole at him.

"yours?"

"Yes, it's mine."

Qin Luo stammered as she answered, feeling her cheeks burning.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Surprisingly, Liu Piaopiao wasn't angry; instead, she burst out laughing.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled, and two adorable dimples appeared on her cheeks.

"Why are you nervous?"

Liu Piaopiao pointed to the corner of the balcony.

“There are cameras here, I saw them all, it was purely accidental.”

Qin Luo then noticed the small surveillance camera and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good. I was really afraid you'd misunderstand."

"Alright, I've bought breakfast, it's on the table."

Liu Piaopiao handed him the clothesline.

"Remember to close the door after you finish eating. I'm going to work now."

Watching Liu Piaopiao's departing figure, Qin Luo scratched his head.

Although my roommate is not very talkative, he is a nice person.

The underground parking lot was dimly lit, and the sound of Liu Piaopiao's high heels was particularly clear in the empty space.

She was going to the hospital for her early shift today, and since it was still early, there was almost no one in the parking lot.

As she walked, Liu Piaopiao suddenly felt a gaze on her back.

She stopped and looked back warily.

"anyone there?"

She asked softly, her voice echoing in the parking lot.

There was no response, only a few parked cars and flashing safety indicator lights.

Liu Piaopiao shook her head, perhaps she was being too sensitive.

She continued walking, but the feeling of being followed grew stronger.

Her sixth sense told her that someone was indeed watching her from the shadows.

Liu Piaopiao quickened her pace and finally saw her white Toyota.

She quickly pulled out her keys, her fingers trembling slightly with nervousness.

Just as she was about to open the car door, she heard a slight noise behind her.

Liu Piaopiao turned around abruptly, only to see rows of stationary vehicles.

"Who is there?"

Her voice was trembling.

Still no response.

Liu Piaopiao quickly got into the car and locked the door.

After starting the engine, she checked the parking lot again through the rearview mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong before driving away.

She didn't notice that after she left, a person dressed in black and wearing a baseball cap slowly emerged from behind an SUV.

The man kept watching the direction Liu Piaopiao had left in until her car completely disappeared from sight before turning and leaving.

Qin Luo ate the sandwich left by Liu Piaopiao while calling Nie Xiaoyu.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, I'll definitely be there for the school anniversary party tonight."

He took a big bite of his sandwich and mumbled something indistinctly.

What time does your performance start?

Nie Xiaoyu's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"7:30! You have to be on time, I specially reserved a front-row seat for you."

"Don't worry, don't forget."

Qin Luo glanced at the time.

"By the way, that new script you mentioned last time..."

"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you."

Nie Xiaoyu suddenly lowered her voice.

"Are you aware of Zhang Lingfeng's situation?"

Qin Luo was taken aback.

"what's up?"

"He killed himself."

Nie Xiaoyu's voice trembled.

"The class group chat is in an uproar right now because of what happened on the dormitory roof last night."

Qin Luo put down the sandwich in his hand, feeling that he had no appetite at all.

"How could that be? Hasn't he always been quite cheerful?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it's all over the school now."

Nie Xiaoyu sighed.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, see you tonight." After hanging up the phone, Qin Luo opened the class group chat and, sure enough, there were already 99+ unread messages.

He quickly browsed through it; the content was roughly divided into three parts.

The first part is a discussion about his "borrowing luxury cars to pick up girls".

Qin Luo curled his lip, too lazy to pay attention to these idle gossips.

The second part is the news of Zhang Lingfeng's suicide.

The students were abuzz with speculation. Some said he owed money to loan sharks, others said he had suffered a heartbreak, and all sorts of guesses were flying around.

The third part surprised Qin Luo: Liu Piaopiao had resigned, and the new counselor was named Su Yue.

"Su Yue?"

Qin Luo frowned in thought.

"Could it be that school beauty, Su Yue?"

He remembered that there was indeed a campus beauty named Su Yue in the medical school, but studying medicine takes at least eight years, so she should still be studying now.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, a friend request popped up on my phone.

I am your new counselor, Su Yue. Please approve my application.

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow and clicked "accept." The moment he added the other person as a friend, a message arrived.

Why aren't you in class? Teacher Liu said you're an excellent student in both character and academics, is this how you behave?

Qin Luo couldn't help but laugh. Judging from the tone, it was most likely Su Yue.

He typed a reply quickly.

Are you Su Yue, the most beautiful girl at medical school?

The other party responded quickly.

[I'm your advisor! Please call me Teacher Su! Also, don't change the subject!]

Qin Luo pursed his lips and continued typing.

[Ms. Su, if I may ask, how much is your monthly salary?]

[Six thousand. What does that have to do with you skipping class?] Su Yue was clearly confused by this question.

Qin Luo's lips curled into a wicked smile as his fingers flew across the screen.

"I own two luxury cars, a mansion worth 500 million, over 2 billion in savings, and ten rental properties. Professor Su, what are you worried about?"

After the message was sent, the other party displayed "typing" for a full minute before finally sending it.

[Qin Luo, please don't make such pointless jokes. I've checked your file; you come from a rural area and grew up in an orphanage. If you don't study hard now, how will you survive in society in the future?]

Qin Luo's face instantly darkened.

He hated it most when people talked about his background. He jabbed his finger hard at the screen.

[Teacher Su, you're checking my file? Who gave you that right?]

As a counselor, I have a responsibility to understand each student's situation.

Su Yue replied confidently, "Qin Luo, I know about your past charade of being a rich kid on the school forum; I've seen all those posts. Young people should be down-to-earth."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Luo blocked her.

"Annoying."

He muttered something as he tossed his phone aside and continued eating his now-cold sandwich.

On the other side, Su Yue looked at the red exclamation mark on the screen and her face turned red with anger.

She immediately dialed Qin Luo's number, but only heard a notification tone.

The number you dialed is currently busy.

Clearly, she had also been blocked.

"That damn student!"

Su Yue gritted her teeth, then opened the class group chat and directly tagged Qin Luo.

【Qin Luo, what do you mean by blocking the counselor? How can you do this to me?】

As soon as this message was released, the already lively class group chat exploded.

[Holy crap, what's going on? What did Qin Luo do to Teacher Su?]

"You've done right by me. That's a lot to say."

Could it be... that kind of relationship?

Qin Luo is awesome, he even dared to make a move on the new, beautiful counselor.

Qin Luo looked at the messages flooding the group chat and rubbed his temples in exasperation.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

"Jingle Bell"

Qin Luo had just stepped out of the elevator when his phone rang like a death knell.

He took out his phone and saw the words "Liu Piaopiao" on the screen, which made his temples throb.

"Hey, Sister Piao Piao"

As soon as he answered the phone, a shrewish roar came from the other end.

"Qin Luo! What mischief have you gotten yourself into now, you little brat?"

Liu Piaopiao's voice was so loud that he had to move his phone half a foot away.

"Teacher Su Yue was crying her eyes out here just now. Did you bully the new teacher again?"

Qin Luo was completely bewildered.

"Su Yue? Oh, that's the new intern homeroom teacher. I just mentioned that there was chalk dust on the back of her skirt."

"Bullshit! That girl is shy, how could you say that in front of the whole class?"

Liu Piaopiao's voice rose another octave.

"Get to my house at 7 PM tonight and apologize in person!"

Qin Luo pursed her lips and looked up at the bright sunshine.

He had originally planned to go to the Supreme Entertainment Center for a hot spring and a spa, but now that plan has been ruined.

"correct."

Liu Piaopiao suddenly changed the subject.

"There's a blue folder labeled 'Criminal Investigation File' on my desk in my bedroom. Could you take it to the Heartbeat Cafe on Hualong Road and give it to a friend surnamed Ai? I need it urgently!"

Before Qin Luo could respond, the call was disconnected.

He sighed, turned around, and pressed the elevator button again.

"What kind of mess is this?"

Qin Luo muttered to himself, impatiently tapping the elevator buttons with his fingers.

Twenty minutes later, Qin Luo stood in Liu Piaopiao's apartment and easily found the blue folder on her bedroom desk.

He casually flipped through them; they were all case analysis reports, densely packed with technical jargon that gave him a headache.

"This woman deals with corpses and criminals all day long, doesn't she find it unlucky?"

Qin Luo shook his head, stuffed the documents into his backpack, and casually grabbed a bottle of imported mineral water from Liu Piaopiao's refrigerator.

After getting into his white Porsche 911, Qin Luo turned on the navigation and entered "Heartbeat Cafe".

The car roared out of the residential area. He opened the window, letting the early summer breeze blow in and dispel the gloom in his heart.

Hualong Road is a well-known artsy street in the city, lined with lush plane trees and various niche shops.

Heartbeat Cafe is located on a corner, with ivy climbing all over its red brick exterior and a retro brass bell hanging at the entrance.

As I pushed open the door, the copper bell rang crisply.

The coffee shop wasn't crowded. In the corner sat a man in a sharp suit, with an Americano and a lone rose in front of him, seemingly waiting for someone.

Qin Luo chose a seat by the window and placed the file bag on the table.

A waitress with a ponytail walked over, he ordered a Blue Mountain coffee, and then took out his phone to scroll through Douyin (TikTok).

As soon as I opened the app, the homepage featured Xiao Luoxi's live stream.

In the video, she is driving his limited edition Bugatti along the riverside avenue, while the comments section is flooded with messages like "Goddess, please take care of me."

"This girl"

Qin Luo smiled helplessly and was about to end the live stream when he suddenly felt someone standing in front of his desk.

Looking up, he saw a young girl in a tight-fitting dress, heavily made up, carrying an LV Neverfull, scrutinizing him with a critical gaze.

"You must be Mr. Li, whom Aunt Wang introduced?"

The girl plopped down opposite him without waiting for an invitation.

"I am Lin Xiaoyu."

Qin Luo was taken aback.

"Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Lin Xiaoyu waved her hand.

"Stop pretending. At this time and in this position, who else could it be?"

She crossed her legs.

"Let's get straight to the point: do you own a house in the city?"

Qin Luo was amused by this, so he closed his phone and deliberately dragged out his words.

"Yes, there are ten units in Xuemao Community, all of them are three-bedroom apartments."

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Full payment?"

"of course."

Qin Luo pointed out the window. (End of Chapter)
