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

Shi Qiao's mind raced through various real and fake bone inscriptions.

My thoughts soared to the highest heavens.

Whether it's something that can be viewed on a legitimate website or something that's been broadcast live, the family is vehemently opposed to it.

What followed was a tragic love story filled with life and death; he loved her but she didn't love him, she tried to escape but he chased her, and she couldn't get away.

By then, Aunt Lin and Uncle Pei will also be very different.

They might even yell something like "You two unfilial children!" and rush at us.

I dare not think about it, I absolutely cannot imagine it.

I was also confused by these inner thoughts, as well as by that damned competitive spirit.

Or should she call a halt to the bet before it's been going on for too long?

wrong.

Why is she feeling so guilty?

Ultimately, it's all Pei Jingnian's fault!

They put on a respectable facade, but are actually incredibly filthy and despicable behind the scenes.

If anyone's to blame, it's her overwhelming charm.

Her goal was simply to pry open Pei Jingnian's mouth and then dump him without any mercy.

This is a timely measure to cut losses.

Sweep away internal strife and be yourself again.

The car door was opened, and Pei Jingnian's gaze swept over the small black bag in the back of the car before closing the door again.

The body doesn't lie.

His wife also seems to like him a little more than before.

Even if you like his body, that's still liking.

He can't rush things.

The two tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened in the driver's seat, but Shi Qiao sensed that Pei Jingnian's mood had improved considerably.

hiss……

Could it be that Pei Jingnian prefers things to be this direct?

No, Master Zhou said so.

Taking the initiative will only lead to giving away your life; this is a lesson he learned the hard way.

She was too angry; this plan should not be used again.

"What did my mom just say to you?" He ignored Shi Qiao and walked to the elevator.

Shi Qiao had always wondered why Pei Jingnian walked with such vigor.

He sways with every step, broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

She walked beside me, saying, "Aunt Lin asked if you're free during the National Day holiday? She'd like to go to the Maldives together."

As she got closer to the man, she caught a faint whiff of tobacco, which, although mixed with the distinctive aroma of Mackintosh, was still somewhat pungent.

She coughed lightly, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Pei Jingnian glanced sideways, taking in every little movement.

"Okay, I need to check on the progress of the experiment."

"uncertain."

Ding, the elevator doors open.

He took out a black and gold-plated cigarette case and lighter from his pocket, casually threw them into the trash can, and then entered the elevator.

The movement was so smooth that before Shi Qiao could react, all she heard was a "thump".

It's just gone like that?

Was it because...she coughed?

The short "thump" sound did just that, though it failed to stir up any ripples from those witty remarks.

She stepped into the elevator, her mood as turbulent as duckweed, her heart itching with longing.

When Shi Qiao got home, she took out her phone and found that Wu Hao had replied to her many messages on WeChat.

[Wu Hao: I understand, Miss Chollez likes this type of guy.]

He also specifically cited the photo that was mistakenly sent out by chance.

[Wu Hao: We also have that in our store.]

[Wu Hao: (Photos) *10]

[Wu Hao: He should be around your age.]

Shi Qiao: !

Oh no, how could I have forgotten about that?

They actually posted Pei Jingnian's photo like that; they might as well have just shot her dead.

She swiped through the photo, zooming in to examine the facial features more closely.

Although she has single eyelids, they are rather thin, and her lower eyelids are quite full.

Indeed, he's not exactly stunningly handsome, but he exudes youthful energy.

[Angry Chollez: Transfer 10000.]

[Grumpy Chocliz: Let me deposit this order first.]

[Wu Hao: Of course, no problem!]

The money had just been taken away when a small red dot appeared in the contact information. After becoming friends with the other party, they sent an emoji.

[Summer: Hello, sister. I'm Jinye Summer. It's nice to meet you.]

[Angry Chocliz: Did your agent, Wu, relay my request to you?]

Summer, being a male model, immediately sent a voice message.

"Sister, Brother Hao already told me that you can contact me anytime if you need anything."

[Grumpy Chocliz: Hold on, I still need to meet in person.]

That "madam" Wu was exaggerating her abilities, but what if the photos were actually fake? Wouldn't she be furious?

Xia Tian softened her voice, "I understand. Then, let's set a time for us to meet, sister?"

Shi Qiao thought about it for a moment.

[Grumpy Chocliz: Let's have dinner this Wednesday night. I'll send you the address in advance.]

Summer, "Okay, see you then, sister."

"It's getting late, sister, don't stay up too late, get some rest!"

Goodnight, sister.

The way this older sister called out made Shi Qiao realize why wealthy women were willing to spend real money on this young male model.

It's kind of fun, huh?

She turned off her phone and went to wash up, ending this strange conversation.

The first thing Shi Qiao did when she arrived at school the next day was to search for Ruan Ruan and her group.

But even after waiting anxiously, they still couldn't find that affected figure in the crowd.

They practically vanished into thin air; there wasn't even any news of any punishment.

Weird.

And so it went until Wednesday. I happened to have two lab classes, and my mind was full of college chemistry, with this molecule coming and that molecule going around.

As Victoria Harbour University's flagship college, the medical school not only has a heavy workload but is also very difficult.

This is what they mean by "choosing the right major means you'll have to repeat your senior year of high school."

So these past two days, her S-type tendencies have been really out of control, and she's been doing nothing but studying.

This chemistry really made her head spin.

In high school, she studied physics, chemistry, and biology with great effort in order to keep up with Pei Jingnian.

Things and life were easily taken away.

But when it comes to chemistry, she treats it like she's dealing with a wife who needs two hours of work.

And she was that incompetent husband who could only last three seconds.

After the last class of the afternoon, she sat listlessly in her seat.

"I want to change my major, but why is it so difficult?"

Jiang Youran wasn't much better off.

"A friendly reminder."

"You have to be in the top 10% of your current major to switch majors."

Shi Qiao looked up to the sky and sighed, "Did this principal ever even go to school? I changed my major just because I wasn't good at it!"

"There's a quiz coming up after the National Day holiday, what am I going to do...?"

Jiang Youran patted Shi Qiao's shoulder, "But Qiao, what are you afraid of? Don't you have Pei Jingnian?"

"Your good brother is a miracle in medical school. It is said that when they were choosing specialties, the professors fought tooth and nail to get him into the program."

"No matter what, you're living under the same roof. If you shamelessly ask him to teach you, how could he refuse?"

Shi Qiao was taken aback, only then realizing that she had been too busy these past few days to tell Jiang Youran the latest developments regarding her feelings.

She put her hands on Jiang Youran's shoulders and said, "Youyou, there's something I'm about to tell you, and you absolutely, absolutely mustn't scream."

Jiang Youran nodded.

Ten minutes passed.

"What?! Someone who likes you..."

Shi Qiao quickly covered her mouth and made a shushing sound, "I told you to keep your voice down!"

Jiang Youran stammered, "I...I'm just so surprised."

"But, Qiao, you're so cool!"

"Isn't this just like a strong female lead training a dog? It smells so good!"

Shi Qiao knew that her best friend would immediately understand her thoughts.

"However..." Jiang Youran patted Shi Qiao's little head, "Don't end up getting yourself into trouble while you're scolding her."

Shi Qiao waved her hand, "Don't worry, that's impossible."

She glanced at her watch. "I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go to the tennis club."

"By the way, I have something to do tonight and can't have dinner with you. I'm sorry, Youyou."

*

Arriving at the sports club, Shi Qiao quickly changed her clothes and joined the Group B team.

"Hello everyone, I am Xia Heng, the head instructor of Group B and a sophomore majoring in Computer Science."

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

When Shi Qiao looked up, she was stunned.

For the first time, she had a concrete concept of how small the world is.

Isn't this Xia Heng the same Xia Tian who kept calling me "sister" last night?
