If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Qi Nan got up, quickly washed up, and then rushed to school as fast as he could.

I glanced at the time briefly; there were still five minutes until class started.

Thankfully, at least I won't be late.

He was dressed fashionably, with a crossbody bag slung over his waist, and arrived at the door panting heavily.

Xia Ningqi raised her gaze and it landed squarely on Qi Nan.

Then he frowned.

With yellow hair and a nail in his mouth, he looked like a delinquent.

Qi Nan only glanced at it briefly.

Seeing Xia Ningqi sitting by the window, he didn't think twice and immediately avoided her, choosing a spot as far away as possible.

Xia Ningqi saw all of this.

She gritted her teeth, feeling uncomfortable.

You've disappeared for so long without even an explanation, so go to hell. You can sit next to me if you want, or not, just to save me the trouble.

Not knowing why she was angry, Xia Ningqi's body trembled slightly, but she held back and lowered her head to avoid looking at him again.

"Don't you guys think Qi Nan has suddenly become even more handsome? If his looks were a 9 out of 10 before, they're now way closer to a 10."

"He's really handsome. He changed his hair color and got a lip piercing. He looks a bit bad, which is the most alluring kind of guy."

...

Still jet-lagged, Qi Nan fell asleep immediately after taking attendance.

The teacher didn't bother with him, and he only woke up after class was over and everyone had left the classroom.

He stretched and picked up his phone. The first thing he did was contact Xiao Hei to ask some people to move his belongings out of the apartment. No matter what, he didn't want to have any contact with Xia Ningqi. Out of sight, out of mind, it would be better for both of them.

After finishing the call, Qi Nan got up and slowly walked out of the classroom. Just as he passed the corner, Xia Ningqi suddenly appeared, startling him so much that he almost dropped his phone.

The girl, holding a book, stood gracefully against the corner of the wall, seemingly having waited for a long time.

After recovering from his shock, Qi Nan looked as if he had seen a ghost. Without saying a word, he turned around and prepared to run away.

Xia Ningqi's eyes turned cold.

I deliberately waited here for so long, and this is the attitude he gives me?

Growing angrier by the thought, she grabbed a book and threw it at Qi Nan's back. "Why are you running? Do you think I'm that scary?"

"Snap."

Qi Nan, who was touching his back, had no choice but to stop.

Why are you waiting for me?

"I'm waiting for you... I'm waiting for an explanation!"

"explain?"

"Oh no!" Qi Nan's first thought was that Xia Ningqi had started deliberately picking a fight, probably trying to torture him little by little in this way.

In response, Qi Nan immediately knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. I'll move out of the apartment as soon as I get back, and I promise I'll never bother you again."

"Move away?"

Xia Ningqi clenched her fists.

"That bastard! How dare he mess with me and leave so easily? If he's so capable, he shouldn't have shown his face in the first place!"

"Who gave you permission to move out? Do you feel you've atoneed for your sins?"

She simply stood there quietly, her face seemingly devoid of any emotion, yet it sent chills down Qi Nan's spine, making him feel fear towards the girl in front of him for the first time.

"Then...then I won't move?"

"Move then, if you don't want to take responsibility, then move."

Xia Ningqi moved forward little by little, while Qi Nan retreated repeatedly in fright.

Oh my god! This is terrifying! It's like a demon!

"I'm not moving, I'm not moving... Please don't get agitated..."

"Excited?" Xia Ningqi put her hands behind her back. "I'm not excited. Where did you see me excited?"

Qi Nan was about to cry. All he wanted to do was run away and go play with Sister Ya. He didn't want to face Xia Ningqi.

"Can I leave now?"

Xia Ningqi countered, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

"It shouldn't...have anything to do with you, right?"

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Xia Ningqi bit her lip, her voice colder than iron, "I just want to say that you look stupid right now."

Ginseng Rooster, pure and simple ginseng rooster.

Qi Nan muttered to himself, "I didn't expect you to like it either."

It felt like a needle pricked my chest.

Xia Ningqi picked up her textbook, turned around with a cold face, and angrily left behind the words, "Whatever, and it would be best if you continued to have a ring pierced in your nostril, so it would be easier to cosplay as the Bull Demon King."

Qi Nan: .....

...

I left the school gate.

A conspicuous Bentley was parked outside. Shen Wanping rolled down the window and waved to Xia Ningqi.

Since he had sent her a message saying he would take her to visit the company, Xia Ningqi was not surprised. After opening the car door, she sat in the back seat, right next to Shen Wanping.

Seemingly noticing Xia Ningqi's bad mood, Shen Wanping asked worriedly, "What's wrong, daughter? Did something upset you?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningqi shook her head and replied calmly, "It's nothing."

Knowing that she was hiding something from her, the first thing that came to Shen Wanping's mind was the experience that Xia Ningqi had been bullied by a boy named Qi Nan, which was mentioned in the previous information.

I only remembered the excitement of the reunion, and forgot about such an important thing.

Shen Wanping was initially annoyed, then sent a message to Xia Huai, intending to first give the Qi family a blow in the business world, and then slowly settle accounts with Qi Nan.

-

The second person to know that Xia Ningqi was the daughter of the Xia family was Ye Anran.

During the few days that Qi Nan was gone, she had successfully become Xia Ningqi's best friend.

There were even rumors circulating that she was keeping Xia Ningqi as a mistress, but only Xia Ningqi knew that the truth was that the rumors were completely unfounded.

After spending time together, Xia Ningqi realized that Ye Anran's sexual orientation was not a problem at all; she was just presenting herself as a lesbian to the outside world.

Although she didn't know the specific reason, she didn't ask any further questions.

After all, everyone has secrets.

Sometimes it's better not to say things.

Inside the milk tea shop.

Ye Anran rested her chin on her hands. "Huh? That's strange. Didn't Qi Nan come back these past few days? Why hasn't he been clinging to you?"

Xia Ningqi bit down on the straw.

She recalled meeting Qi Nan this morning, when Qi Nan avoided her again, and when they went to the classroom, Qi Nan sat in the seat furthest away from her, as if she were a plague to be avoided at all costs.

He thought instinctively, "How can people be so fickle..."

Ye Anran said casually, "I saw he dyed his hair, he looks like a completely different person. I guess he has a girl he likes, so he wants to avoid suspicion."

"Click."

Xia Ningqi gripped the milk tea tightly, causing the plastic cup to deform slightly.

The girl I like...

"Oh, I see. No wonder..."

Startled, Ye Anran leaned back. "Ningqi, are you alright? I was just saying that casually, don't take it seriously."

"I'm fine. Who he likes is none of my business."

Ye Anran's throat was dry.

"Ningqi, has anyone told you that your smile is scary...?"
