No? Can I read the mind of my mortal enemy?

"So I felt really guilty seeing you as a high school student for those two years."

His breathing was short and rapid. "However, I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to control myself and will lose the ability to distinguish between reality and dreams."

"I don't think I'm a gentleman, and I can't guarantee 100% that I can control myself when I see you."

"That's why I chose not to come back."

Pei Jingnian patted her on the back, "There was no one else there for those two years."

"My wife is my first love."

As Shi Qiao listened to Pei Jingnian say these things, her heart pounded faster and faster.

"Oh..." she choked out, "Then why did you... that... it's... um..."

Pei Jingnian smiled, and seeing her face getting redder and redder, he seemed to understand what she was stammering about.

"Honey, are you asking me why I'm so 'experienced'?"

Shi Qiao gave a soft "hmm".

"Didn't I already tell you? I've done it to you so many times in my dreams." He slowed down the last few words, speaking them lightly.

"But no dream can compare to reality."

"My wife's voice is even more beautiful than I imagined, her body is even more supple than I expected, and..."

She abruptly pushed Pei Jingnian away, turned her back, and sat down at the bedside table. "...Okay, I'm going to eat."

Pei Jingnian continued to rub her stomach, "Oh right, wife, I almost forgot."

"Have you decided on the date and duration of our practice?"

Shi Qiao brought over a bowl of warm chicken soup rice. "What is it...?"

!

She forgot!

Pei Jingnian smiled and said, "I think we should set it for the third day after my wife's period ends."

He and Shi Qiao touched noses. "It's settled then."

"No taking it back."

Shi Qiao suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The next day, Shi Qiao managed to get a full night's sleep, a rare occurrence for her.

Because of the typhoon expected to arrive on Tuesday, all afternoon classes at Victoria Harbour University have been cancelled, so there is only one class today, at 8 a.m.

Shi Qiao sat at the dining table, enjoying the emperor-like treatment Pei Jingnian was giving her while scrolling through her phone.

She originally lived in North China, and she would always do her research before traveling to avoid bad weather.

This was Shi Qiao's first time encountering a typhoon head-on, so she couldn't help but pay more attention.

Last night, her search terms were all about "the latest typhoon path", "the destructive power of a Category 12 typhoon", and "the most feared typhoons in history".

Lin Ya Hui and Bai Shu Wen kept sending messages, asking her if she wanted to fly back to the capital with Pei Jing Nian to avoid trouble.

She thought about it and declined.

Although this typhoon has completed another eye replacement and the wind force has increased.

However, the path changed.

The typhoon, which was originally expected to make landfall in Hong Kong and then head directly into the mainland, was affected by the subtropical high and turned northward.

In other words, it will not make direct landfall in Hong Kong, but will pass by it, leaving Hong Kong within the typhoon's influence range.

Shi Qiao looked out the window and saw that the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.

It's all thanks to that typhoon.

Like the calm before the storm.

However, although the typhoon will not make direct landfall in the port city, it will still be subject to storms and heavy rain, so precautions still need to be taken.

When there's a storm, there's bound to be thunder.

Just as Shi Qiao thought of this, she suddenly felt that the food tasted like chewing wax and her stomach ached.

Pei Jingnian tapped her head. "What are you thinking about, wife?"

Shi Qiao looked at Pei Jingnian expectantly, "Pei Jingnian, is it going to bring thunder again during the typhoon?"

Pei Jingnian sat down beside her. "I bought you earplugs, and I specifically asked the contractor to add a soundproofing layer when the house was being renovated."

His voice suddenly turned somewhat resentful, "Besides, didn't I already say that you're not widowed, wife?"

Pei Jingnian pulled her into his arms. "Rely on me more, okay?"

Shi Qiao pouted, "At this rate, I'll eventually become someone who can't take care of myself and can only call out 'Pei Jingnian, Pei Jingnian'."

She spoke very quickly, but slowed down when she pronounced the three words "Pei Jingnian," and acted out a scene.

Honey, why does my name sound so beautiful when you say it?

Shi Qiao poked Pei Jingnian with the clean end of her chopsticks, "Don't forget that I can hear your thoughts now."

"I know, I meant it for you." Pei Jingnian smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Isn't it better to tell you some things in your heart?"

"Besides, isn't it better to just call him 'Pei Jingnian'?"

He lifted Shi Qiao's hand and obediently pressed his cheek against it.

"Pei Jingnian really, really wants to be bossed around by his wife."

Shi Qiao was taken aback and quickly turned her head away, "You can't do that, Pei Jingnian, that's going too far."

Some people are just born with a seductive nature, and they have a whole repertoire of ways to seduce others.

After finishing their meal, Shi Qiao got into the passenger seat and they set off for school.

This morning, the classroom, which was usually packed, only had about half the students present.

The curry-flavored professor decided to take out a list and write down the names of all the students present today, as they would receive extra points for their participation in the final exam.

"Nice! It was definitely the right decision to get up this morning!" Jiang Youran clenched her fist.

Shi Qiao nodded, "That means if my participation grade is increased, my final grade will be a bit easier."

Shen Chen took the bags for the two ladies. "Let's go, a new dorayaki shop just opened outside the school, it's delicious!"

The three of them packed their things and left the classroom, only to be met by three uninvited guests as soon as they stepped outside.

It was Ruan Ruan and her two little followers.

Jiang Youran was taken aback, and almost instinctively stepped in front of Shi Qiao. "What are you three doing here?"

"I'm telling you, this is in the teaching building, everyone's watching!"

Shen Chen, who was looking at his phone, rushed forward when he saw the situation, using all the masculinity he had ever possessed.

"What are you trying to do?"

The deep, hoarse voice startled both Jiang Youran and Shi Qiao.

It feels like "my sister suddenly grew taller."

Ruan Ruan and the two people behind her exchanged glances. Her normally well-maintained nails were now frayed and stained with blood due to anxiety.

"No, we didn't mean that."

Seeing that the 3v3 match looked like a rooftop brawl, the crowd silently gathered around.

Passerby A: "Isn't that Ruan Ruan? It feels like I haven't seen her in ages."

Passerby B: "Ruan Ruan? Who is Ruan Ruan?"

Passerby A: "Don't you know? She's been posting on that campus forum with her real name, and she's really having a blast."

Passerby A said, "She was also named the most beautiful campus belle at Victoria Harbour University."

Passerby B: "Oh, so what happened?"

At this moment, a random passerby appeared out of nowhere and responded in a high-pitched voice, just like Mickey Mouse from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse:

"I heard that some guy named Ruan, along with three others, bullied the poor little girl across the street."

"Slapping someone in the equipment room's storage area! That's going too far!"

"Besides, I think the 'most beautiful school beauty' title is questionable. Anyone with eyes can see that Shi Qiao is definitely prettier... Ouch! Why did you pinch me?"

Upon hearing this, passersby A and B turned around in the direction of the voice, but could not find the "passerby" who had made the revelation.

Their gazes fell on the six of them. "But it's true, that girl is really beautiful, and so unassuming!"

"Is her name Shi Qiao? Oh dear, what a pitiful little girl."

However, the characteristic of gossip is that it grows legs and runs fast. Before long, the crowds three or four layers deep were making a lot of noise.

"Wow, you guys know what happened? That Ruan Ruan over there was bullying that girl over here. I remember she's Shi Qiao from the medical school, right?"

"He almost disfigured her! No wonder he's been quiet lately, he's probably in jail."

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bushel."

Suddenly, two figures squeezed through the crowd. Lu Zhou pitifully rubbed his arm, which had just been pinched by Pei Jingnian, leaving a mark. He muttered curses under his breath.

Pei Jingnian stood beside Shi Qiao, his fierce aura no less than that of an evil god descending, coldly sweeping over the three trembling people.

"Three students, didn't you have something to say?"

A chillingly mocking smile appeared on his face, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Two minutes have passed now."
