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

"Buy and it goes up, sell and it goes down, are you a god?"

Qin Luo stretched.

"It's just experience."

Su Yue suddenly became unusually enthusiastic.

"Would you like something to drink? There's cola, juice, soda in the fridge. Oh, and tea and coffee too!"

Qin Luo watched her bustling about, his eyes filled with understanding.

He smiled, lay flat on the sofa, and pointed to his back.

"I'm exhausted after a long day. I heard you've studied traditional Chinese massage? How about I try it?"

Su Yue stood in the bathroom, staring at herself in the mirror.

The tap was running, and she mechanically rubbed her hands together, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

The jasmine scent of hand sanitizer filled the small space, but it couldn't mask her racing heartbeat.

"It's just massage, isn't it? I've given massages to men before when I was learning it."

She murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.

The woman in the mirror had a delicate face, almond-shaped eyes, and red lips, but her brows were furrowed at that moment.

She turned off the tap and shook the water droplets off her hands.

Water droplets splashed on the mirror, blurring her reflection.

Pushing open the door, the scene in the living room made Su Yue gasp for breath.

Qin Luo had already taken off his shirt and was lying on the sofa with his back to her.

Under the warm yellow light of the living room, his back was smooth and powerful, and his shoulder blades rose and fell slightly with his breath, like a pair of dormant wings.

A bottle of essential oil sits on the coffee table next to the sofa, its cap already open, releasing a faint lavender scent into the air.

"You're pretty quick."

Su Yue tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

Qin Luo turned his head to the side, a half-smile curving his lips.

"What, Miss Su, have you changed your mind?"

"Who's backing out!"

Su Yue walked over quickly, but stopped two steps away from the sofa.

"But... are you sure you need to strip so completely?"

Qin Luo chuckled softly, the vibration in his chest causing his back muscles to tense slightly.

"Ms. Su, when you were learning massage, didn't your teacher teach you that direct contact with the skin is more effective?"

Su Yue bit her lower lip.

Of course she knew, but back then she was practicing with classmates, and none of them had such a sexy body.

She forced herself to sit down on the sofa and reached for the essential oil.

"Lie still and don't move."

She gave the order, but her voice was softer than usual.

Qin Luo obediently buried her face in the cushion, her voice muffled.

"Yes, Teacher Su."

Su Yue poured some essential oil into her palm, rubbed it to warm it, and then gently pressed it onto Qin Luo's back.

The moment their fingertips touched each other's skin, they both trembled slightly.

His skin was hotter than she had imagined, like a piece of warm jade, beneath which lay a power ready to be unleashed.

"Your muscles are so tight."

Su Yue frowned and pressed her thumb firmly against his shoulder and neck.

"This place is full of nodules."

Qin Luo grunted.

"lighter."

"Do you know it hurts now?"

Su Yue was sharp-tongued, but she lightened her grip a little.

"It's no wonder you become stiff if you stare at a computer all day."

Her fingers slowly moved down his spine, her fingertips feeling the protrusion of each bone.

Qin Luo's breathing gradually became deeper, and his muscles slowly relaxed under her pressure.

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled."

His voice was languidly hoarse.

Su Yue's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

"Of course, I am."

She suddenly stopped talking, almost blurting out, "I learned it specifically to get closer to you."

"What is it?"

Qin Luo tilted his head slightly.

"nothing."

Su Yue quickly changed the subject.

"Turn over, let me massage your front."

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Sure?"

"Cut the nonsense."

Su Yue blushed and glared at him.

"Professional massage involves the whole body."

Qin Luo chuckled and turned over. Su Yue immediately looked away, but couldn't help but steal a glance out of the corner of her eye.

His abdominal muscles were clearly defined, his V-line was hidden in his waistband, and a spot of light shone in the hollow of his collarbone, like it was filled with honey.

Su Yue's hand hung in mid-air, suddenly unsure of where to put it.

"Is Teacher Su shy?"

Qin Luo teased.

"Who's shy?"

Enraged, Su Yue pressed her hand against his chest.

"I'm looking for acupoints!"

Her palm was pressed against his warm chest, and she could clearly feel his strong heartbeat.

One stroke, then two, and then faster and faster.

Su Yue looked up in surprise and met Qin Luo's deep gaze.

His eyes, amber in color under the light, were fixed on her, churning with emotions she couldn't decipher.

The air suddenly became thick, and Su Yue withdrew her hand as if she had been burned.

"Well, it's getting late, let's call it a day."

She stood up in a panic, almost tripping over the coffee table.

Qin Luo reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist.

"Be careful."

His large, warm hands completely enveloped her wrists.

Su Yue pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted and rushed into the bedroom without looking back.

The door slammed shut.

Leaning against the door, Su Yue slid to the floor, covering her burning cheeks with her hands.

She had initially thought this was just a tactic to win over Qin Luo, but just now, she clearly felt her heartbeat become erratic.

"No, Su Yue, wake up!"

She slapped her face hard.

"He's a cash cow, nothing more!"

Outside the door, Qin Luo stared at the tightly closed bedroom door, the smile on his lips gradually fading.

He looked down at the hand he had just held in Su Yue's hand, and slowly clenched it into a fist.

As sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, Su Yue was still dreaming.

In her dream, Qin Luo's hand stroked her back, warm and strong.
The shrill ring of her cell phone suddenly pulled her back to reality.

Su Yue reached for her phone in a daze, but found nothing.

"Hey?"

Qin Luo's deep voice came from the living room.

Su Yue instantly snapped to attention and sat up with a start.

She clearly put her phone on the bedside table last night!
"Excuse me, who are you? Ah, hello Auntie, I'm Su Yue's friend."

Su Yue rushed out of the bedroom barefoot and saw Qin Luo standing there awkwardly, holding her phone.

He was only wearing pajama bottoms, and his hair was messy; he had obviously just woken up.

"Give me your phone!"

Su Yue lowered her voice and reached out to grab it.

Qin Luo dodged to the side and spoke into the phone.

"Auntie, please wait a moment, Su Yue is here."

Then he covered the microphone and said helplessly to Su Yue.

"Your mom wants a video call."

Su Yue's eyes widened.

"what?!"

Before she could react, Qin Luo had already started a video call.

Immediately, a middle-aged woman's face, bearing a striking resemblance to Su Yue, appeared on the phone screen.

"mom!"

Su Yue exclaimed and snatched the phone away.

Why did you suddenly...?

"Yue Yue!"

Su's mother's voice rose eight octaves.

"Who is this guy? Are you living together?!"

Su Yue hurriedly tidied her messy hair.

"No, Mom, let me explain."

"Explain what?"

Su's mother squinted her eyes.

"A man answers the phone in your house so early in the morning, dressed like this!"

Su Yue then realized that Qin Luo was standing next to her almost naked, and quickly pushed him away.

"Go get dressed quickly!"

Qin Luo touched his nose, turned around and went into the bedroom.

Su Yue forced a smile at her phone.

"Mom, it's not what you think." "Then what is it?"

Su's mother wouldn't let it go.

"What's his name? How old is he? What does he do for a living? How long have you been together?"

A barrage of questions left Su Yue dizzy.

At this moment, Qin Luo had already put on a T-shirt and walked out. Hearing Su's mother's question, he naturally sat down next to Su Yue and smiled at the camera.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Qin Luo, I'm 27 years old, and I'm a programmer."

Su Yue glared at him and mouthed, "Shut up."

Qin Luo pretended not to see it and continued.

"Actually, this house is mine, and Su Yue rented one of the rooms. I came over last night because there was a problem with the water pipes, and the repairs went on so late that I stayed overnight."

Su's mother looked at him suspiciously.

"Really?"

"It's true."

Qin Luo looked sincere.

"As a landlord, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of my tenants."

Su Yue secretly pinched him; this lie was just too smooth to tell!
Su's mother's expression softened a bit, and she looked Qin Luo up and down.

"The young man looks quite dashing. What does your family do?"

"mom!"

Su Yue couldn't take it anymore.

"Are you checking your household registration?"

"Ask what's wrong?"

Su's mother spoke with righteous indignation.

"My daughter is living with someone, can't I even ask about it?"

"We don't live together!"

Su Yue was furious.

Qin Luo answered in a good-natured manner.

“My parents are both university professors, Auntie.”

Su's mother's eyes lit up.

"A scholarly family! Not bad, not bad at all."

She suddenly leaned closer to the screen and lowered her voice.

"Xiao Qin, our Yueyue is a bit stubborn, but she has a kind heart. You need to be more tolerant of her, and you should take the initiative when necessary."

"mom!"

Su Yue's face turned bright red.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

At that moment, a middle-aged man's face squeezed into the screen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very much like Su's mother.

"Young man, come over for dinner sometime! Uncle will show you his cooking skills!"

"Dad! What happened to you too?"

Su Yue covered her face in despair.

Qin Luo smiled politely.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. I will definitely visit you when I have the chance."

"This weekend then!"

Su's mother clapped her hands.

"It just so happens that Yueyue's grandmother is having a birthday celebration, so the whole family is back."

Su Yue suddenly looked up.

"what?!"

"Ok, deal!"

Su's mother didn't give her a chance to refuse.

"Xiao Qin, Auntie thinks you're reliable. Treat our Yueyue well. I'm hanging up now, see you this weekend!"

The video abruptly ended, and Su Yue stared at the black screen, speechless for a moment.

After a few seconds of deathly silence, she slowly turned to Qin Luo, her eyes blazing with anger.

"What did you tell my parents?!"

Qin Luo spread his hands innocently.

"I just answered the phone and told the truth."

"truth?"

Su Yue sneered.

"'Landlord and tenant'? 'Broken water pipe'? You're really good at making up stories!"

"if not?"

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Tell your mom I'm actually..."

"Shut up!"

Su Yue covered his mouth with her hand, her palm touching his soft lips, then she pulled back as if she had been burned.

"You've made it so I have to take you home to meet my parents!"

Why does my mom like you so much?

Su Yue tilted her head, twirling her hair with her fingers, and stared at Qin Luo sitting opposite her on the sofa with a suspicious look.

Qin Luo helplessly spread his hands.

"Shouldn't you ask your aunt, not me, about this?"

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the living room, casting a golden glow on the two figures.

Su Yue, dressed in loose loungewear, walked barefoot on the soft carpet, curled up in a corner of the sofa like a lazy cat.

"I suspect my mom is attracted to your looks."

Su Yue narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Qin Luo from head to toe like a detective examining a suspect.

“She has never been this enthusiastic towards any of my male classmates since I was a child.”

Qin Luo almost choked on the tea in his mouth upon hearing this.

"Ahem. Your thought process is really quite unique, isn't it?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain it?"

Su Yue counted on her fingers.

"The first time we met, I chatted with you for two hours. The second time I came, I knitted you a scarf. This time it's even more extravagant. When I heard you were coming, I specially went and bought a bunch of your favorite dishes. I don't even get this kind of treatment!"

Qin Luo put down his teacup, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Maybe it's because I'm good at making elders happy?"

"Come on."

Su Yue pouted.

"My cousin is so sweet-talking that he can kill you with saccharine sweetness. My mom can't even be bothered to look up at him."

Just as the two were at an impasse, Qin Luo's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Zhao Dayong?"

Su Yue spotted the name on the screen with her sharp eyes.

"Who?"

"a friend."

Qin Luo gave a brief reply, got up, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Su Yue opened the door and saw a burly man in a black suit standing in the doorway, followed by a tall, thin young man wearing glasses.

"Mr. Qin."

Zhao Dayong nodded respectfully.

Qin Luo walked back from the balcony.

"You've come at the right time, come in."

Su Yue looked on blankly as the two strangers walked into her house.

Zhao Dayong looked to be in his early forties, with a faint scar on his face, and his every move exuded the competence of a soldier.

The young man named Xiaolong, on the other hand, appeared much more reserved, carrying a bulging backpack.

"This is.?"

Su Yue asked Qin Luo in a low voice.

"Safety measures."

Qin Luo explained in a low voice.

“Things have been a bit unsettled lately, so I’ve asked them to come and strengthen the security at your home.”

Xiaolong skillfully took out the equipment from his bag and began installing miniature cameras in several corners of the balcony and living room.

His movements were clean and efficient, clearly showing he was an expert.

"These cameras are all top-of-the-line, with night vision capabilities, and can intelligently recognize faces."

Xiaolong explained as he debugged the equipment.

"The data will be uploaded to the cloud in real time, and any abnormalities will trigger an automatic alarm."

Zhao Dayong added.

“I’ve arranged for more than 20 brothers in the community to work in three shifts, 24 hours a day. They are all veterans, so they are all skilled.”

Su Yue was stunned.

"Isn't this just too outrageous?"

Qin Luo shook his head.

"Caution is the boat."

He turned to Zhao Dayong.

Where is the monitoring room located?

"A unit in the next building was rented and used as a temporary command center."

Zhao Dayong answered.

"All the footage will be synchronized there, and there are dedicated personnel monitoring it."

"very good."

Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction.

Xiaolong completed the installation in less than half an hour.

After Zhao Dayong carefully checked every corner again and confirmed that everything was in order, the two bid farewell to Qin Luo.

"Please contact me anytime if there are any issues."

After leaving those words, Zhao Dayong took Xiaolong and left. (End of Chapter)
