After reincarnation, attack as a female imp!

"I remember I said that. Okay, right, Fang Bixian? You stole my words and told you guys? No, are you anxious? You're so eager to refute me, so you really have feelings for the lady who serves the food?"

Qin Zhixin crossed her arms, her slender arms holding her erect breasts upward. She held her head high and narrowed her eyes, looking arrogant and ready to be beaten. But her face was too charming and childlike. This expression didn't make her look offensive at all; instead, it added a touch of cosplay fun.

The tsundere little female ghost tries to play the role of a vicious older sister, but accidentally reveals her true nature.

Even if Ma Lisheng's XP is a mature woman, he should not be interested in a female ghost like Qin Zhixin who looks too young, especially since Qin Zhixin is of the same age as him.

For Ma Lisheng, dating someone his own age was like smelting metal. She was too young, too immature, lacking that kind of charm. She was sour when you bit her, like a complete naive girl.

But this time, when he saw Qin Zhixin's seductive look, Ma Lisheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He suddenly realized that there was a reason why Qin Zhixin was so popular in school. Qin Zhixin was so charming, she was simply an enchantress. No, she was a female enchantress.

But this made Ma Lisheng feel like a cat was scratching his head. He didn't have any thoughts about Qin Zhixin, but more of a curiosity. Even an underage girl was so charming, so how beautiful must her mother be?

"Sister Xin, this is a personal attack. I'm really not anxious, how can you say I am anxious?"

Ma Lisheng smiled bitterly, trying to hide his embarrassment. He was about to continue to defend himself when a few more people came to the store door. They walked up the steps and entered the store one after another, looking at the two of them curiously as they entered.

Ma Lisheng was a little uncomfortable with the scrutiny and admiration he received. Growing up, he'd only been in the spotlight after exams, when scores were released. On weekdays, he'd mostly been invisible.

After entering Nanshi High School, amidst the throngs of talented students, even his academic performance faltered. He spent his days simply drifting around, and after three or four months, he didn't even suspect anyone in his class couldn't pronounce his name. After all, he had an ordinary appearance, a modest family background, and poor taste in clothes. It seemed as if, as a constantly restless adolescent, his only distinctive quality was his XP.

Tang Yuyu, who was busy in the store, saw her daughter and a short boy standing at the door chatting, so she came out of the kitchen and walked over.

"Zhixin, is this your classmate?"

"Yeah! Don't worry about it, Mom. He just came to say hello and will leave soon, right?"

Qin Zhixin became anxious when she saw Tang Yuyu approaching, and wanted to drive Ma Lisheng away. After saying this, she winked at Ma Lisheng.

Ma Lisheng's eyes were all on Tang Yuyu, and only Tang Yuyu. He didn't notice Qin Zhixin who was making faces at him in front of him.

Ma Lisheng's heart was like a rabbit struck by lightning. This was the first time he had seen a woman who perfectly matched his aesthetic standards. She was intelligent, mature, and gentle, with more charm than younger beauties, but her figure was still the same.

No, I should say better than most young women.

The closer Tang Yuyu got, the more clearly Ma Lisheng saw.

The loose apron she was wearing, which was a little greasy, did not hide her plump figure at all. Her perfect round breasts swayed slightly with her graceful steps. The greasy stains on the apron made her look more virtuous and capable, which was the quality that Ma Lisheng was most attracted to.

And judging from the size of the headlights, which were at least D-size, they could be held in one hand, which was a bit too big for him, but this quickly corrected his XP.

In the past, he thought that anything bigger than C was not good, but now he feels that his XP is what Qin Zhixin's mother looks like.

Tang Yuyu stood behind Qin Zhixin and looked at him with some curiosity. The mother and daughter looked somewhat similar, except that the younger one had an unhappy expression of a little brat who deserved a beating, while the older one had a gentle face and looked very virtuous.

Ma Lisheng was inexplicably excited, and he suddenly had a wish that was neither big nor small.

He wanted Qin Zhixin to call him dad.

This excitement gave Ma Lisheng a strange courage. He wanted to break free from being invisible, and he responded loudly in a voice that was almost shouting.

"Hello, Auntie! I'm Qin Zhixin's classmate. My name is Ma Lisheng, and I live next door. You can just call me Xiao Ma!"

Ma Lisheng deliberately straightened his back and spoke loudly.

He was wearing hand-me-down clothes from his junior high school days, which made him look rather rustic, but he didn't mind. His impulsiveness gave him unprecedented confidence, which wasn't something a well-cut suit or a pair of expensive sneakers could give him.

Tang Yuyu was stunned by his shout and subconsciously took half a step back. The gentle smile on her face froze. She was stunned for a moment before speaking somewhat unnaturally.

"The young man is so energetic."

"Of course not. I'm famous in school for being full of energy and vigor. Everyone who sees me praises my full forehead and says I will be blessed in the future."

Qin Zhixin grimaced as she listened, subconsciously rubbing her arms, as if Ma Lisheng's words had given her goosebumps. Tang Yuyu, on the other hand, couldn't help but chuckle softly, her subconscious covering of her mouth making her seem both dignified and charming.

This is a very common action, but compared with Qin Zhixin's silly and monkey-like immature appearance, this action seems more charming in Ma Lisheng's eyes.

Ma Lisheng shook his body with excitement, and the hot blood rushed to his head, making his black face, which was far from being fair, turn red.

"Have you eaten yet, young man? If not, why not eat here first and then join the girl later. I'm making it now."

"Mom! I need to hurry back to do my homework, and you're stopping me. Hurry up and leave, go away!"

Qin Zhixin gritted her teeth in anger.

"Auntie, I haven't had dinner yet. What a coincidence! I came here just to eat."

Ma Lisheng walked around Qin Zhixin, who was looking at him unkindly, and rushed in. Qin Zhixin followed closely behind him, watching him closely as if he were a thief. She was determined not to give this pervert any chance.

Tang Yuyu also found the atmosphere between the two people a bit strange, but it was actually very lively. This reminded her of her high school days, and her smile widened. She greeted the customer and asked for their order before heading back to the kitchen.

Seeing Ma Lisheng sitting down on his own, Qin Zhixin sat directly opposite him.

"Hey, do you have any weird hobbies?"

Ma Lisheng wasn't afraid at all at this point. But he sensed Qin Zhixin's nervousness, and if he pushed the issue any further, she'd inevitably curse him.

Chapter 193: Careful Consideration

From where Ma Lisheng was sitting, he could see Tang Yuyu busy in the kitchen.

Two more middle-aged women came in from the back door. They looked like the kitchen helpers. Normally, Ma Lisheng would have given them a few more glances because their ages were within his "aesthetic range."

But now Ma Lisheng was only looking at Qin Zhixin's mother. He felt that the two middle-aged women were an eyesore and blocked his view of Xiao Yuyu.

Qin Zhixin looked at Ma Lisheng's affectionate look and felt sick.

Ma Lisheng felt like a warrior charging forward for love, even though he knew he couldn't marry Tang Yuyu. Even if she was willing, his family wouldn't allow it.

But beauty is sometimes like this: just admiring it from afar, letting it linger in one's mind and memories, is enough. If he likes a flower, he doesn't have to pick it. If he likes a cloud, he doesn't have to get it. If he likes the wind, he doesn't need to stop it.

All the beauty will stay at the moment when you fall in love. If this superficial feeling only stays at "liking", why exaggerate it into so-called love?

Besides, with such a beautiful woman opening a restaurant downstairs from his house, he would definitely come to support her as long as he was free.

Ma Lisheng showed a smile that he thought was affectionate, which made Qin Zhixin frown.

"Are you thinking of something bad? The way you smile is disgusting."

Ma Lisheng was just now getting emotional, and he coughed when Qin Zhixin said this. He looked at Qin Zhixin with some dissatisfaction, and Qin Zhixin stared at him with the same trashy eyes as always. But Ma Lisheng was thick-skinned enough that he didn't care about the looks of his peers, especially the girls of the same age.

"What bad things could I possibly think?"

"It's hard to say. I've heard a lot of rumors about you."

"Did Zhou Dahong say that? He's a jerk with a lot of lip service. He can't keep secrets and loves to make things up. He's even more gossipy than girls."

"Ah."

Qin Zhixin didn't even open her mouth, but just made a "hmm" sound with her nasal voice.

"That's just Zhou Dahong making small talk. He's always talking nonsense. Maybe I said something casually during a chat that night, and he exaggerated it. There's not a shred of truth in what he says."

Ma Lisheng added, trying to make his words more credible. He glanced at Qin Zhixin, who was sitting across from him, but she remained expressionless.

"Think about it, we talk about everything in the dormitory, so wouldn't we just talk about that? I admit that I prefer the queen type, but it still depends on age."

Qin Zhixin was instantly alert. The more Ma Lisheng spoke, the darker his portrayal became.

"How royal is Sister Yu? Forty ways? Fifty ways?"

Qin Zhixin threw out the technical terms, and Ma Lisheng looked at Qin Zhixin with a strange look in his eyes, but he still tried to quibble.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. How could such a thing be possible? You're slandering someone's innocence out of thin air! Even if I had that kind of fetish, wouldn't my family break my legs?"

Ma Lisheng sat up with a flattering smile, picked up two disposable cups from the table, and poured barley tea into each. The barley tea was still warm, and he took a sip from each cup, head bowed, as if savoring it wholeheartedly. The cheap barley tea had become a high-end tea at that moment.

"Hey! You looked so disgusting just now, and you told me not to think too much."

Ma Lisheng drank tea by himself.

"Qin Zhixin, is there mint added to this?"

"Oh my god, Ma Ge's sense of taste is really sensitive. He can even taste mint. That's amazing~"

Qin Zhixin started to act sarcastic again with a forced smile.

Ma Lisheng briefly withdrew his gaze, glanced at the righteous Qin Zhixin, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

As expected, she was too young, so he didn't feel that way. Ma Lisheng sighed heavily and looked at Tang Yuyu in the kitchen. Qin Zhixin was so angry at this contemptuous look that her pretty face flushed red.

"What do you mean? I'll tell my mom later that you're a pervert who likes older women."

"You told your mom that I like older women, just to make her stay away from me? You're just pointing at your mom's nose and calling her an old woman. No, why are you so sweet?"

"Bah! The worst that can happen is a beating! Anyway, there's nothing good for you."

When Qin Zhixin talked about being beaten, she didn't even feel guilty. Ma Lisheng looked away, his eyes dull.

Qin Zhixin couldn't help feeling scared when she was stared at by his pair of dead fish eyes.

"Qin Zhixin, do you believe in love?"

"I believe your mother! Get lost!"

"No, not my mom, your mom. Oh, I'm serious. You said love was still pure in our parents' generation. My dad was a truck driver, and my mom used to be a worker in a radio factory. They met in the cinema while watching 'Lush Mountain Love' and got married."

Qin Zhixin looked suspicious.

"They quarrel all the time now. If it weren't for me going to a key high school, they would have divorced long ago."

"Speak the key."

"Just a momentary liking isn't love. Once the impulse wears off, all that's left is a mess. This isn't love, it's just an impulse, a primitive impulse. Qin Zhixin, many boys like you. Maybe you'll just marry any one in the future..."

"Bah! What are you talking about!"

Qin Zhixin was so angry that her breathing became rapid, and her pair of tall, fat rabbits were swaying and trembling.

"I told you you have a lot of choices. You're beautiful, have an incredible figure, and good grades, so you're naturally not in the same class as me. You could easily marry a second-generation businessman or a talented young official. But I'm different from you. I just have decent grades, so I don't have many choices. Fortunately, I don't like people my age. Including you, you don't have the charm I like."

Qin Zhixin felt cold and sweaty when she heard this, and grimaced in discomfort.

"So those messages are true? You admit it?"

"I didn't admit it. It's a feeling I like, but it just happens to appear in relatively mature women. It's a necessary but not sufficient condition for me. So, you haven't answered me yet, do you believe in love?"

Qin Zhixin's expression was full of disdain. Her memories from her previous life had made her clearly aware of the moral character of most men, and her memories from this life had made her deeply understand the moral character of most women. As for the so-called love between men and women, it was simply a joke. But Qin Zhixin would not say this out loud.

"Of course I believe it. I'm a woman, and what woman doesn't believe in love?"

Ma Lisheng was about to reply when Qin Zhifeng returned from outside after buying some dried bamboo shoots and soda. He glanced at Qin Zhixin and Ma Lisheng as he passed by their table. He placed the soda on the table before carrying the bamboo shoots into the kitchen. He reappeared a short while later and walked straight over to Qin Zhixin, sitting down next to her.

"Sister, who is this?"

"my classmate."

Qin Zhixin didn't touch the tea that Ma Lisheng poured for her. She took out another cup from the table and poured the soda that Qin Zhifeng brought into it.

Ma Lisheng was a little embarrassed, but he pretended not to see Qin Zhixin's action.

He looked up and smiled at Qin Zhifeng. Qin Zhifeng didn't reply. Ma Lisheng shrank his neck and buried his head again.

"Why, you guys are chatting? Why don't you dare to talk even though I'm here? Has anyone drunk this water?"

Qin Zhifeng came in just now and saw what the two were talking about, but he stopped talking after he sat down. Seeing a cup of tea that was about eight-tenths full on the table, he picked it up and was about to drink it, but stopped and asked.

"No, drink it without worry."

The three of them fell into an awkward silence again. Qin Zhixin and Qin Zhifeng both pulled out their phones, one browsing Tieba while the other chatted with a senior student she had never met.

Ma Lisheng didn't have a cell phone; he just watched. He looked around. The place wasn't small, but it wasn't huge either. With just nine tables, it was already packed, but generally clean. Aside from two tables of middle-aged men near the door, the rest of the diners were mostly college students who had just finished school.

Ma Lisheng glanced over and saw someone next to him avoiding his gaze.

More than one person was secretly watching Qin Zhixin.

Ma Lisheng could understand. After all, it was rare for a beauty with such a stunning figure to be able to control himself from looking at her. Even if he preferred older women, Qin Zhixin's beauty was still impeccable to him. And Qin Zhixin remained calm under such stares. She must have been used to it.

Tang Yuyu brought over a large plate of salt and pepper shrimp. The shrimp shells were fried to a crisp, paired with lotus root slices, cauliflower, and carrots that had been deep-fried to a dry, fragrant aroma. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper and five-spice powder, the mere smell was enough to make your mouth water.

Qin Zhixin put her phone away, picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks, and carefully nibbled it on her lips. Her nimble tongue slid the shrimp meat from the shell with a single stroke. Her rosy lips were stained with oil, glistening and very tempting.

Qin Zhifeng likes to eat fried vegetables and keeps picking up the fried cauliflower.

Seeing the host start eating, Ma Lisheng picked up a shrimp with his chopsticks, chewed it for a few seconds, and ate it all. He must have been really hungry, because he ate several more shrimps without stopping.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuyu brought out a pot of boiled pork slices and a large bucket of rice. The portions were generous and delicious, at least Ma Lisheng thought. He poured a bowl of rice, doused it with the broth from the boiled pork slices, and slurped it down. Salty, spicy, fresh, and numbing, he finished the whole bowl in no time.

Qin Zhixin opposite only ate three shrimps.

Feeling a little fuller in the stomach, Ma Lisheng spoke again.

"Our test results are coming out soon."

Qin Zhixin was stunned when she heard this, and she stopped eating shrimp with her pouting mouth for a moment.

"If you want to come out, then come out. I tried my best anyway."
