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

Dating.

Shi Qiao was so stunned by the kiss that her brain was deprived of oxygen and she was still a little dazed, unable to fully accept what Pei Jingnian had said.

Pei Jingnian stared intently at him, his slender index finger tracing across her wrist, hooking the hair tie and twisting it onto his own hand.

"Wife?"

Shi Qiao focused her gaze and gave a soft "hmm".

Her long, black hair cascaded freely, weaving between their intertwined fingers.

When she breathes, the clear lines of her collarbone flicker in and out.

It's incredibly beautiful.

"I'll take care of it, my wife." Pei Jingnian swallowed his rising anger and carried her into the newly changed bed.

Get some rest early, goodnight.

Time for another shower.

Friday arrived quickly. Shi Qiao hadn't scheduled many classes, so they ended early, leaving her free after her afternoon lectures.

"Hey, look! A huge bombshell has dropped on the school forum!"

Shi Qiao was feeling quite sleepy because she hadn't taken a nap, but she perked up as soon as she heard Jiang Youran's words.

"What the heck? What's going on? Our school actually has a forum?"

Jiang Youran's mouth dropped open. "Fine, go ahead and flirt, go ahead and date, but after more than a month you didn't even know our school had a forum?"

"You caveman, this smartphone is really being wasted on you."

"Okay, enough about that. There's this senior from our school, I think he's the assistant coach in your tennis club, he got some serious scandal! Look!"

Jiang Youran handed over her phone and opened the PDF that was going viral on the forum.

A second-year computer science student at Victoria Harbour University was caught having affairs with male models! He also had private relationships with three business owners, managing to hook up with 20 men in a single month!

These familiar events...

No wonder, when I went to the tennis club this Wednesday, their Group B coach had become a gentle and refined older sister.

Shi Qiao's lips twitched slightly. "I know about this."

She even made a big fuss in front of Pei Jingnian because of Xia Heng's three bosses.

She cried her eyes out.

Looking back now, it's really embarrassing.

Jiang Youran looked at Shi Qiao's expressionless face, narrowed her eyes, and said, "I take back what I said before. He who gets the information gets the world."

"How did you know? That's not very nice of you, you didn't even share it with me."

Shi Qiao carefully put the iPad back into her bag, lowering her voice, "Oh dear, it was a little chaotic at the time."

"Anyway, I almost became a victim myself. I was quite generous and contributed 10,000 yuan to the order."

Jiang Youran's eyes widened. "Oh my god, so you chose him when you said you wanted to order a male model to annoy Pei Jingnian!"

"The world really is a circle."

"That guy didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Shi Qiao shook her head. "But I feel that this person is really quite dangerous. I really didn't realize he was that kind of person at the time."

"When I saw him transfer the compensation money from my phone in neat chunks, I actually felt sorry for him."

"Now that I think about it, I really want to go back in time and strangle myself."

Jiang Youran swiped the screen, "This matter has caused quite a stir. Someone forwarded this content, and it's even trending on Weibo."

"It's spreading extremely fast, and now the school administration has been alerted due to 'students' character and conduct issues'."

She lowered her voice, "I heard that he'll get a serious punishment and have his scholarship revoked, which is even worse than being expelled from school."

Shi Qiao remembered the three girls who cried their eyes out in front of Pei Jingnian and Lu Zhou that day, and gripped the edge of her schoolbag tightly.

"He deserves it. He deserves to be betrayed. He deserves to suffer a thousand needles for betraying those who are sincere."

The topic was briefly put aside, and Shi Qiao scrolled down a couple more times on Jiang Youran's phone and saw an old post.

[Victoria Harbour University Male and Female Goddess Poll (Settlement Version)]

Wow, there's actually such a thing!

How much did she miss out on?

She opened it and saw that the girl at the very top had a slight frown.

[Ruan Ruan, Department of Chinese Studies, Victoria Harbour University]

Jiang Youran leaned closer, took one look, and quickly withdrew.

"Oh, don't look at these, they're all fake votes."

Jiang Youran generally doesn't attack someone's appearance unless that person is despicable.

"It's only because you're small and don't frequent forums, and you keep a low profile, that she's even worthy of being called a goddess."

"Look at the list of male gods next to it. Pei Jingnian isn't even here, which tells you how inflated this list is."

Shi Qiao propped her head up with her hand, tapping her index finger irregularly on the table, lost in thought.

"I don't really care about this list of male and female gods, it just suddenly reminded me that this person even exists."

"Why haven't I seen Ruan Ruan lately?"

Jiang Youran paused as she packed her things, "Now that you mention it, it seems so."

"That guy used to be so flamboyant, it was like he wanted to tell the whole world wherever he went."

"Maybe she participated in some Miss Victoria Harbour competition during this period, after all, she's a laughing stock."

Shi Qiao zipped up her bag. "That's right, I wonder when she'll be back."

She twisted her fists left and right, saying, "I haven't avenged myself yet."

Jiang Youran smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Alright, remember to call me when you're getting your revenge. Shen Chen and I will stand beside you as your bodyguards, scaring her and her little henchmen to death!"

Shi Qiao gently nudged Jiang Youran's full "fat" muscles. "Alright, Youyou, you came with Shen Chen. I was worried that I would have to protect both of you when we fight."

Jiang Youran stuck out her tongue, "You dare to look down on me for being weak? Watch out for my Foshan Shadowless Hand!"

She reached out and tickled Shi Qiao's waist, and the two burst into laughter.

"Alright! I won't disturb your sweet rehearsal with your man any longer. I'm going to go shopping at the market with the props team."

Jiang Youran slung her bag over her shoulder, waved, and walked away.

Shi Qiao picked up her bag, glanced at the time, and realized there were still three hours until Romeo and Juliet's rehearsal.

At this time, Pei Jingnian also had a pharmacy class to attend, and he wouldn't finish until an hour later.

She was all alone now, sob sob.

She searched for good coffee and dessert shops inside Victoria Harbour University and suddenly remembered Pei Jingnian's thoughts that night.

For so many days, she would see Pei Jingnian waiting at the door every time she finished class, and he would bring her some snacks from time to time.

Shi Qiao coughed lightly.

This seems to be a pretty good behavior from a boyfriend.

Then, as his girlfriend, it's only right that she picks him up from get out of class, right?

She found a reason that pleased her, slung her backpack over her shoulder, bought two cups of taro ball milk tea, and went to Pei Jingnian's teaching building.

She sat in the rest area by the door, arranged her milk tea and her itabag, took a picture, and sent it to Pei Jingnian.

[Pei Jingnian: /•᷅‎‎•᷄୭Wife, you're at our classroom door? Did you come all this way to pick me up?]

[Pei Jingnian: ฅᐞ˶⦁༝⦁˶ᐞฅWife, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you the most!]

Shi Qiao hadn't expected Pei Jingnian to have such sharp eyes; all that was showing was a table in the rest area.

She blushed and typed slowly.

[Shi Qiao: I didn't come specifically to pick you up... I just stopped here to rest after buying milk tea on the way.]

[Shi Qiao: I had no idea you happened to have classes in this building.]

[Pei Jingnian: ⌯＞＜⌯ಣThat's fate between my wife and me!]

Shi Qiao couldn't help but notice Pei Jingnian's adorable little expressions; they seemed so out of place next to him as a man.

[Shi Qiao: Focus on the lesson!!]

[Pei Jingnian: ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎ᐝ Okay...]

Next, Shi Qiao didn't sit idle either. She took out her tablet and began to reinforce the script of Romeo and Juliet. She buried her head behind her ita-bag and would occasionally look at the ceiling and silently memorize it.

Before I knew it, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Shi Qiao hurriedly tidied up her notes on the table, intending to run to Pei Jingnian's classroom door to wait for him.

As soon as she turned the corner, she saw a familiar figure in the distance, who had been waiting at the door even earlier than her.

Xia Heng?!
