America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 11 Bargaining
"What's the matter with you?"

Looking at the people who were looking at him in amazement, Li Xiaoen frowned.

"Humph."

Sufeil laughed and said, "Let's talk somewhere else, if you don't want to be expelled the next day."

Without saying a word, she turned and walked out of the coffee shop without even looking at the other people around her.

"Sean, what's wrong?"

Daniel broke the silence and asked with concern.

"You guys continue chatting, I'm going to go out first."

Regardless of whether Sufei's words were true or false, he really couldn't afford the consequences of being expelled and deported. Li Xiaoen nodded in relief, stood up and followed.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Outside the coffee shop, Li Xiaoen glanced at the red convertible sports car that Sufei was leaning against, and then he met the sneering gaze.

"American immigration law stipulates that international students in the United States must apply for permission to work part-time off-campus, and they must also be engaged in work related to their major."

Sufeier muttered, tilting his head slightly and smiling at Li Xiaoen, "Excuse me, Xiaoen, how does delivering food fit in with your major in computer science?"

“There is such a rule?”

Li Xiaoen's heart trembled, and his eyes narrowed, carefully examining Sufei's expression. The confident look on his face as if he was sure of victory did not seem fake.

Unfortunately, he really found it troublesome at the time, so he temporarily used his uncle's account on the platform.

Sufeier's face was full of smiles. His angelic face looked like a ferocious devil in Li Xiaoen's eyes. "If you don't believe me, you can check it out."

"What do you want?"

Li Xiaoen felt a gloomy feeling in his heart, and felt a chill all over his body. He quickly calmed down.

"After all, according to American law, drinking is prohibited under the age of twenty-one. Even if there was a conflict at first, I never intended to threaten you."

"uh-huh?"

Sufeier opened her aquamarine eyes wide at this moment, and acted innocently, "Are you finally willing to give in?"

Li Xiaoen took a deep breath and said, "Just tell me what you want."

"Hum..."

Sufeil smiled with satisfaction, "Apologize to me!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Sophie."

But just as Sufeil finished speaking, Li Xiaoen spoke immediately. Her sudden reaction surprised her. She forgot to chew the gum in her mouth and almost swallowed it.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing twice, Sufeil finally spit the chewing gum onto the tissue, turned around and glared at Li Xiaoen angrily.

"Isn't it you who wanted to apologize?"

Li Xiaoen spread his hands and asked back, "I've given you the apology you asked for. All our past grudges are written off. If you let me go, I won't cause you any trouble."

"Who said it was that easy?"

Su Feier couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "Li Xiaoen, you are eighteen years old after all, are you still so naive?"

"You have to understand the situation we are in now, Miss Suffield."

Li Xiaoen studied Su Feier's expression. "I'm only apologizing to you because I don't want to cause any trouble for no reason. If we really have to fight to the death and report each other, will you be able to get through your parents safely?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sufei's face froze, and Li Xiaoen felt a little relieved when he saw this.

On weekdays, it is always useful to observe carefully. This information was told by the boy who came to the rescue yesterday due to the tip conflict - the other party's parents will be present at the opening ceremony today.

And using the other party’s parents to put pressure on them works!

However, under Li Xiaoen's gaze, Sufei's expression slowly returned to normal.

"You're right. This does make me a little hesitant."

Sufeier nodded honestly, but the smile on his face made Li Xiaoen frown slowly. "But, we both made mistakes, so we should all accept the punishment we deserve. I can accept it. At most, I'll go through the legal process and reduce my living expenses. What about you?"

Noticing Li Xiaoen's increasingly gloomy expression, Su Feier felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart and sneered, "According to the law, you will be expelled from school and deported back to your country. You will not be allowed to enter the country again for five years."

"Yes, this won't affect your life of getting into Princeton, but it will definitely affect your whole life." Why did you stop talking when you used to tease people with sweet words?
Where did the pretentious and elegant demeanor go?

Looking at Li Xiaoen's silent expression, Su Feier felt very upset. He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Li Xiaoen looked up at Sufeier and sighed: "So, what do you want?"

"Um……"

Sufeil looked up at the sky, and his eyes suddenly became cold when he fell again.

"Get down on your knees and lick my feet."

Li Xiaoen: "..."

She unconsciously lowered her head and saw that Sufeil was wearing a pair of emerald green high-heeled shoes, revealing her delicate and perfect toes that were white with a hint of pink. It was obviously a rare color, but it had a stunning visual impact when worn on her feet.

If it were someone else, they would probably be eager to agree.

Li Xiaoen secretly complained in his heart, but unfortunately he was not that kind of person.

"Miss Sophie, you know."

Li Xiaoen shook his head and refused without hesitation, "I won't do such a thing."

"Even if I'm expelled from school and sent back to China."

Before Sufeil could open his mouth to threaten, Li Xiaoen added another sentence.

Seeing Sufeier frown and fall silent, Li Xiaoen asked tentatively, "In the final analysis, what do you want by threatening me with this matter? Money?"

"Humph……"

This made Sufei sneer, "You've been reduced to delivering food, how much money do you think you have?"

"Then what do you mean?"

Li Xiaoen spread his hands and said, "You can't take my people, right?"

"I'm even less interested in your people!"

Su Feier frowned in disdain, then suddenly thought of something and couldn't help laughing. "How about this, if I need anything in the future, you must be there whenever I call."

"No."

"You..." Seeing Li Xiaoen shaking his head and refusing without hesitation, Su Feier gritted his teeth and said, "This is my last bottom line!"

"I am a human being, not a machine, much less a slave. I absolutely cannot meet such a request, nor do I want to do it."

Seeing the other party give in, Li Xiaoen felt relieved, but he still muttered to himself, "Let's fight to the death. I'd better go back and pack my luggage."

"..."

This time, it was Sufei's turn to remain silent, which allowed Li Xiaoen to finally regain some initiative.

"Well, Miss Sophie."

He took the initiative and said, "Thinking about it carefully, I think I can only offer you the condition you mentioned. Within my ability, I can help you with one thing. Or, to put it another way, I owe you a favor."

"One piece?"

Sufeil looked up, a look of disbelief on his face, "How can one be enough?!"

Li Xiaoen calmed down and looked at Su Feier with a smile: "It's not a small amount. After all, it's my promise."

"Your promise? Is it worth anything?"

Su Feier glanced at Li Xiaoen in confusion. "You're a Chinese student, and you're borrowing an old, broken car from someone with the same surname as you, and you're even doing delivery..."

"Cough cough..."

Li Xiaoen coughed awkwardly twice and looked at Su Feier muttering to himself, feeling strange, "Are you investigating me?"

"So what?"

Sufeier's aquamarine eyes looked at Li Xiaoen with disdain. "I can easily find out your information, even through the school and the authorities. Why don't you tell me, what is the value of your promise to me when you are broke?"

Facing Sufei's eager and mischievous gaze, Li Xiaoen pondered for a moment and shrugged indifferently.

"I'm sorry, Miss Suffield. As you said, I'm broke. The conditions I offer you are not based on what you want, but on what I have."
