All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Forest--"

Chen Xiao's pupils dilated suddenly, and his gaze immediately fixed on Lin Qiu's face.

Lin Qiu? Is that the Lin Qiu from my memory?!

Noticing the change in her expression after hearing Lin Qiu's name, Qin Yunmo frowned slightly, instinctively sensing an ominous aura.

Is it too late to drag Lin Qiu away now?

After learning the name, Chen Xiao kept scanning Lin Qiu's face until it gradually overlapped with her childhood face, and her heart started beating faster and faster.

No wonder I had this strange feeling of familiarity; it really was him! I finally ran into him!

However, after recalling everything, she didn't immediately reveal her identity. Reflecting on Shang Yan's words, she spoke with a meaningful tone—

"My surname is Chen. Are you two... dating?"

167-Childhood Betrothal

"We are just classmates, please don't misunderstand."

"That's it..."

With your current actions so close together, it's hard to believe.

Chen Xiao stared intently at the two people in front of him, and felt a little uneasy, especially since Lin Qiu made no attempt to hide anything.

This was originally my spot; I was the one who arrived first!

Are the two of you usually on good terms?

Despite his dissatisfaction, Chen Xiao did not show it immediately. Instead, he smiled and asked again.

I've been away from home for a few years because of family reasons, so I'll see how long these philandering people have been bothering me!

"It's alright. We usually play games together, so we get along quite well."

"That sounds pretty good."

"Wow, what's with this scene that's so full of rivals meeting and teasing each other?"

Just as Chen Xiao and Qin Yunmo were secretly staring intently at each other, Shang Yan on the other side couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Why does it seem like the president is acting a little strange after seeing Lin Qiu?

Did they know each other before?

Do you think the student council president might actually be snatched away by someone from another school?

"It shouldn't be that bad... When did you get here?"

"That's not important. What's important is that I saw her staring at Qin Yunmo and Lin Qiu so closely together, and her fists were clenched."

Wei Ran muttered to himself that the last time the president acted like this was when he accidentally chewed up A Feng's report during a fight with her.

After that, I got a good beating. If I hadn't been so resilient, I might have ended up in the infirmary!

But judging from the current situation, it's clear that Qin Yunmo's problem isn't something other than feelings!

"Don't talk nonsense. If you really start fighting, you'll definitely be implicated."

Shang Yan glared at her, annoyed. Couldn't this girl have some hope? You know, during the exchange between the two schools, the president lost in the martial arts competition!

If a fight really breaks out on the spot... the only option is to take hostages first!

Shang Yan glanced at Lin Qiu, who was completely unaware of what was happening. This guy looked lazy and didn't seem to have much fighting power.

I've learned some grappling techniques, so I should be able to take him down in no time!

"Judging from how you two are out having fun together, Lin Qiu, you seem to have quite a few admirers."

Chen Xiao said something meaningful, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Ying Ziyan and the others. Seeing that each of them was a top-tier beauty, his heart sank.

The number of philanderers is getting a bit too much...

"Well—we didn't know each other at first, but we happened to play the same game, so we got along quite well and decided to go out together today."

"Oh, I see. You all seemed to get along very well, so I thought one of you was your girlfriend."

"..."

At this point in the conversation, everyone's gaze immediately sharpened, locking onto Lin Qiu in the center.

Feeling the oppressive gazes emanating from all around, Lin Qiu became terrified, his lips twitching as he spoke—

"You're overthinking it. I'm still single and have no intention of dating right now."

single!

Upon hearing this word, Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the situation hadn't deteriorated to the point of no return, and he still had a chance!

The observant Qin Yunmo and the others noticed her little scheme, and alarm bells immediately rang in their hearts.

Is another philanderer about to enter the fray?!

"Then Lin Qiu, you..."

"President Chen! You're so handsome, you must have a lot of admirers!"

Not daring to continue asking this guy questions that could cost him his life, Lin Qiu quickly changed the subject.

I don't want to go back and get torn to pieces by these guys!

"Hmm? Me? I'm alright, I don't know much about these things, after all, I already have an arranged marriage."

"An arranged marriage between children?!"

Upon hearing this word, Shang Yan and Wei Ran exclaimed in surprise.

The student council president was betrothed as a child?! How come we had no idea?! If this news got to the school, most of the boys would probably die on the spot!

Chen Xiao glanced silently at the two people shouting and yelling, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed that even Han Xianyu and Xia Chufeng in the distance were looking over curiously, and their pretty faces blushed slightly for the first time.

"President, I think you should explain this matter in detail!"

Shang Yan exclaimed in a serious tone, "This is a very big deal! Just who was it that quietly pulled down the Dragon Gate marker all of a sudden!"

"It's nothing major. I had a childhood sweetheart with whom I got along very well. He proposed to me once, and I accepted. My family didn't object."

"A marriage proposal? Back when we were kids?!"

Shang Yan's heart was pounding so hard it almost stopped, while Qi Xi, standing to the side, looked thoughtfully at Lin Qiu.

You shrewd businessman. I don't know why, but my gut feeling tells me you did this.

"They're probably just playing house; you can't take this seriously."

Qin Yunmo said calmly that if he were to talk to his parents about this now, they would probably just treat it as a joke and brush it off.

"My father said that as long as I have no objections, it's fine, and he's been considering whether to move back next door to my childhood sweetheart's house."

Chen Xiao shook his head and said seriously that so many years had passed since he last saw Lin Qiu, and it was time to go back.

If it weren't for my father's job change, I might be with Lin Qiu now.

Now, I need to get the story back on track!

Move back?

Upon hearing this, Qi Xi's expression became somewhat subtle, as if things were getting interesting!

I wonder what kind of expressions Yunmo and the others will have when they find out that Chen Xiao has moved next door to Lin Qiu!

Yan Rou, who was standing nearby, also noticed the little guy's strange expression and leaned close to his ear to ask in a low voice—

"Do you know something?"

"I'm telling you..."

After Qi Xi rambled on and on, Yan Rou's eyes widened in surprise as she looked incredulously back and forth between Chen Xiao and Lin Qiu's faces.

Is it really such a coincidence?

If Yunmo found out, Lin Qiu probably wouldn't be able to leave the house alive.

"what happened?"

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Qin Yunmo asked a question with some confusion.

"It's nothing, I just think it would be better for you, Yunmo, to visit Lin Qiu's house more often."

"Ok?"

"Yes, yes, maybe it can even bring the three parties closer together."

Listening to the two guys' pointed whispers, Qin Yunmo instinctively sensed something was amiss...

168 - Infighting to the death or a powerful alliance?

"If there's nothing else, let's..."

"It's such a coincidence that we've run into each other, why don't we go for a walk together?"

"Your shop..."

"They'll be watching."

As Chen Xiao spoke, he patted Wei Ran on the head. Anyway, this guy had nothing to do and often wandered around, so it would be good for him to stay and guard the door.

Shang Yan, who was standing to the side, felt a little dejected when he heard that he was also included.

I want to hear more exciting news!

"This is really disrupting your business."

Qin Yunmo spoke calmly, his tone carrying a hint of refusal.

Don't think I didn't see through your scheme! Since you've already arranged a marriage, don't try to lay a finger on the people of Yuedu! Can't you see we're already splitting up too thin here?!

"Actually, it's not so bad, Lin Qiu, what do you think?"

Chen Xiao did not stop there, but instead threw the question to Lin Qiu.

Since we've already bumped into each other, we should at least go for a walk together, right? And while we're at it, I can see just how far you've come in all this time!

With a wary glance at Qin Yunmo and the others who were eyeing him menacingly, Chen Xiao took a few steps closer to Lin Qiu without leaving a trace.

Lin Qiu scratched his face in a dilemma, feeling Chen Xiao's expectant gaze and Qin Yunmo and the others' murderous stares.

When the strength of the two sides is similar, I feel like I won't have a good outcome no matter which side I choose!

"Let's go for a walk together then, we're free anyway."

After hesitating for a while, Lin Qiu reluctantly agreed.

As for the class monitor, he probably won't care anymore, right?

Lin Qiu glanced at her clenched fist, his lips twitched, but he forced himself to calm down.

As Qin Yunmo watched Chen Xiao's fleeting triumphant smile, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and for the first time, he felt an unprecedented sense of unease.

This woman is no ordinary person!

Just as she was pondering how to deal with this food snatcher, a cup of milk tea was suddenly shoved into her hand, startling her.

"Here, class monitor, this is for you. You're about to leave."

"Uh-huh--"

Qin Yunmo responded blankly, and before he could react, Lin Qiu pulled him away into the distance.

Seeing that Lin Qiu was clearly closer to Qin Yunmo, Chen Xiao frowned, but still followed silently.

Although the situation hasn't reached its most serious point, the outlook is still not optimistic.

Wei Ran watched these people leave with bated breath, and then tugged at Shang Yan's sleeve with some hesitation.

Given the current situation, aren't you really going to go and check on them?

Shang Yan also showed a look of longing on his face, and looked pitifully at Han Xianyu on the other side.

If the president isn't here, Xianyu is in charge here. As long as she agrees, I can slip away legitimately!

"Go if you want to."
