"In sports competitions and academic exchanges, there are so many talented people there. Their average level is definitely a step above our school. If it weren't for Yunmo and the other students in the student council holding us back, we would have been crushed."

"Indeed, it is said that before coming to our school, they had already swept through many other high schools."

Qin Yunmo also solemnly said that she still had a deep impression of those few in their student council.

"In sports competitions, who could possibly be a match for Yunmo?"

"Although there are no ones at the same level, there are some who are close, like their student council president, who was a freshman in high school at the time."

"Um???"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu stared blankly at Ze Zhi.

Seriously? It's already surprising enough that Yun Mo is one of these god-like beings, but there's another one?!

"Before the sports competition, she went to the martial arts club's venue. After it was explained that she was from another school visiting, she was invited to spar. As a result, she swept through the entire martial arts club with a wooden sword."

"hiss--"

"Later, the president of the martial arts club went to Yunmo for help. The fight between the two was so big that it caused quite a stir throughout the school. My best friend was there watching."

"The two of them practically destroyed all the weapons in the martial arts club. In the end, Yunmo only managed to defeat them by fighting them in close combat with his bare hands."

Lin Qiu was stunned, and for a moment the city felt somewhat unfamiliar.

Don't tell me there are still a bunch of cheaters in this city. As an ordinary person, I feel a lot of pressure!

Meanwhile, Qi Xi, who was standing to the side, stroked her chin thoughtfully. She seemed to have skipped class to go back to the company to develop games, but she never expected that something like this would happen.

Another chance to have some fun is gone!

"What was that student council president's name again?"

"..."

When Lin Qiu asked this question, Ze Zhi and Qin Yunmo both fell silent and turned their heads away awkwardly.

"Don't tell me you've all forgotten!"

"Of course I remember! I just need to think about it a little."

Zezhi grumbled unhappily, "Those guys all call me 'Guild Leader,' I haven't really paid attention to them."

Besides, Yunmo had already fought with the other party, but he still didn't remember it.

"It seems the surname is... Chen?"

Recalling this familiar word, Qin Yunmo was slightly taken aback. Had he heard the name Chen somewhere recently?

Her gaze instinctively drifted to Lin Qiu, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she finally realized what was happening.

This guy's childhood sweetheart also seems to have the surname Chen. Could it be the same person?

However, it's probably not that much of a coincidence. After all, the elementary school had already moved away, and if it were the same school, they shouldn't have lost contact for so long.

Thinking of this, Qin Yunmo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

"President Chen, who is the student council president of our school again?"

"Han Fengling, commonly known as the 'bun hairstyle,' is one centimeter shorter than me."

Before Zezhi could even speak, Xiaoxi blurted it out, especially the height details, emphasizing them as if afraid they wouldn't notice the advantage of height...

161 - Qi Xi's Gradual Improvement

"Wow—there are so many more people than yesterday?"

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of her, Qi Xi felt completely overwhelmed.

When I was out last night, there were quite a lot of people, but not this many!

I was so squeezed I could hardly breathe!

"It's the weekend, and the discounts are pretty good, so naturally I had to go out and do some shopping!"

Ying Ziyan explained with a smile, while subtly walking to Lin Qiu's side, waiting for the opportunity to be pushed by the crowd and hold his arm.

Qin Yunmo, who was standing to the side, also noticed her little scheme and decisively took over Lin Qiu's other side, not giving anyone a chance to take advantage.

Where is Ze Zhiren?

"I was squeezed into a meat patty in the back."

Ze Zhi muttered with a bitter face, clutching Lin Qiu's clothes tightly. If it weren't for the shrewd merchant leading the way, she probably would be dead already!

"Be careful, don't get lost, it's even more crowded up ahead."

"oh-"

Ze Zhi responded weakly, then leaned closer to Lin Qiu's back, as if afraid of being left behind.

However, she was accidentally bumped by passersby behind her, and ended up pressed against Lin Qiu's back without warning.

Feeling the unusual warmth coming from behind, Lin Qiu was startled and almost fell forward.

After finally managing to stop, he looked behind him with some surprise and saw that Ze Zhi was blushing and had her forehead pressed against his back, her hands "accidentally" wrapped around her waist.

Seeing the two of them embracing tightly, Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan immediately got angry and glared at Ze Zhi with extremely displeased eyes.

Cheating once or twice is one thing, but you've gone too far, doing it again and again!

Feeling the sharp gazes from both sides, Ze Zhi's pretty face stiffened slightly, but when she thought of the crowded people around her, she immediately felt reassured.

Don't look at me! I was forced to do this because there were so many people around, so don't blame me!

Where is Xiaoxi?

Lin Qiu seemed to notice something was wrong and quickly asked a question.

Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan were still within his sight, but in that short moment of distraction, he couldn't see Xiao Xi at all!

She's already been kidnapped?!

"I was pushed to the back."

Xiaoxi's frantic voice suddenly came from behind. She had been squeezed behind Zezhi at some point and was still struggling to break free from the crowd.

If I had a choice, I would never go shopping, even if you killed me. This is clearly a torture!

"You should hold on to Zezhi and stay close. With your height, once you're pushed out, you really won't be able to find her."

"oh-"

"Ouch—ouch!! Don't grab my waist!!"

Hearing the commotion behind him, Lin Qiu sighed helplessly. Fortunately, the mall was almost there, and he should find a place to rest as soon as possible, otherwise he would be out of breath.

"This is it, hurry up and squeeze over here, there are fewer people inside."

"I saw Lungmen's school uniform too!"

As Ze Zhi shouted, Lin Qiu and the others subconsciously looked in the direction she was pointing.

On the second floor of the mall, several students dressed in neat dark blue school uniforms could be clearly seen talking to each other through the floor-to-ceiling windows with their backs to the windows.

However, they didn't pay too much attention to it, and after turning their attention away, they struggled to squeeze into the mall.

Feeling the significant decrease in the number of people around them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as they stepped into the mall, a student from Longmen on the second floor suddenly turned around and looked at the spot where they had just been, his gaze momentarily lost in thought.

"What's wrong, President?"

"It's nothing, I probably just misread it."

Hey - is there a guy you like?

A girl with a strand of silver hair standing to the side asked with a hint of amusement.

The girl, referred to as the president, shook her head, ignoring her teasing, but her gaze remained fixed on the area below, pondering the familiar gaze she had just felt.

Am I overthinking things?

So many years have passed, even if someone stood right in front of me, I might not recognize them. It's probably just my imagination...

"President, come and help me out, we're a bit overwhelmed here."

"coming."

Hearing the calls from afar, the president didn't think much of it, responded, and hurried over.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu, who was completely unaware of the situation, felt the pressure growing increasingly terrifying.

Even after entering, Ze Zhi showed no signs of stopping, her hands still clinging tightly to Lin Qiu's clothes, seemingly oblivious to the sharp gazes from both sides.

"Ah—I can't walk anymore, Lin Qiu, can you carry me?"

Just as Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan were radiating hostility towards Ze Zhi, Qi Xi, with a downcast face, leaned over and quite naturally took Lin Qiu's right hand.

"Snapped!"

It was as if a snapping sound rang in Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan's minds. Seeing Qi Xi's audacious actions, both of them felt a sharp pain in their nerves.

"Come on, walk by yourself. I already had a hard time carrying both of you by myself."

"Hey—you look like you're really enjoying it."

Qi Xi muttered to herself, still showing no sign of giving up, and directly took Lin Qiu's arm, gazing at him expectantly.

Look how much I've sacrificed to win back Yunmo and the others' favor towards you, can't you reward this hero?

"Don't talk nonsense. You guys pulled me over here, I almost fell to my death."

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes in annoyance; she knew exactly what this guy was thinking.

Because of you two troublemakers, the class monitor and Ziyan are both glaring at me like crazy. If this continues, I might get killed one day!

"What are you whispering about? Hurry up and catch up, we're going to buy clothes."

Qin Yunmo, who was already ahead, urged, "Although Qi Xi is clingy right now, let Lin Qiu carry the bags after we buy the clothes. Let's see how you hug her then!"

"Huh? Didn't we already buy it yesterday?!"

"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today."

Ying Ziyan spoke expressionlessly, her gaze sweeping over Qi Xi's arm, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Even a girl with no advantages like this dares to cheat on me. Was my approach too lenient?

"Well—okay then, you guys go first, I'll go buy some milk tea. Is there anything you'd like to drink?"

"I also......"

"Xiaoxi, come here for a moment. Your family owns a game company, so your aesthetic sense should be quite good. We need your opinions."

Without giving Qi Xi a chance to sneak away, Ying Ziyan grabbed her and pulled her over. This girl is the number one threat now, and she will not give her any chance!

After watching Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan carry Qi Xi away like a prisoner, Lin Qiu's gaze finally fell on Ze Zhi, who had remained silent and hidden behind him the entire time...

162 - The fish-stealing cat, sensing it had encountered its natural enemy.

Why didn't you come along for a stroll?

"I don't have much pocket money anymore. I still have to pay rent and utilities every month, and I also have to buy cat food and cat litter. It's a lot of pressure. Buying one or two clothes that I can wear is enough."

Sawari muttered to herself, her hands behind her head.

Unlike these wealthy and extravagant individuals, I need to control my spending.

Lin Qiu nodded thoughtfully, not dwelling on the topic, and casually asked—

Which bubble tea shop do you want to go to later?

"I'm fine with either, let's see which store I can visit."

Zezhi shrugged. She wasn't picky about the milk tea shops, as long as it wasn't particularly bad.

"Let's go up to the second floor and take a look. I remember there's a milk tea shop there."

"You're after those students from Lungmen, aren't you?"

Zezhi saw right through Lin Qiu's little scheme.

We're all so familiar with each other, he knows exactly what's on everyone's mind. He's definitely interested since I mentioned someone could rival Yunmo.
