"Stop looking. Don't even think about going up until we've finished our business."

Zezhi tapped the two girls on the head to bring them back to their senses before turning back to continue interviewing Yu Shu.

After several interactions, she lost her initial reserve and asked standard news questions in a relaxed and natural manner.

Meanwhile, Liu Yuan and Sun Yan, who were standing to the side, also dutifully took out their notebooks and kept recording the information they needed.

As for Qin Yunmo and the others on the other side...

"Squad leader, can you smash a wooden stake with your bare hands?"

As Lin Qiu walked, he asked Qin Yunmo questions with curiosity. He had always thought that such a powerful fighter only existed in movies and TV shows, but after seeing it with his own eyes a few times, he was still extremely shocked.

First, there was that terrifying throwing technique at the amusement park, and now he's kicking so hard that he's twisting metal fixtures – he's practically a human killing machine!

"no need."

"So you mean it can be smashed? Does that mean your master can smash boulders with his bare hands?!"

"..."

Do you have to smash things to feel better?

Qin Yunmo glanced at Lin Qiu but didn't say anything, whether out of tacit agreement or simply because he was too lazy to pay attention.

"Squad leader, your master is playing Kara no Kyoukai—ouch, ouch, ouch! I won't ask anymore, but please don't keep pinching the same spot!"

Feeling the sharp pain in his waist, Lin Qiu immediately made a face and begged for mercy.

This guy is getting better and better at pinching; if he keeps doing this, the muscles in this area will eventually necrotize!

After glaring at the guy with the weird ideas in his head, Qin Yunmo pushed him into the restaurant on the third floor.

As soon as she entered, she could smell the aroma of food wafting from inside, which made Lin Qiu forget about the pain in her back for a moment.

"There are chefs here who have been hired to cook all kinds of dishes. And they're very cheap. I'll treat you today, eat whatever you want."

Qi Xi waved her hand generously and said that all the chefs here were top-notch chefs hired at high salaries, ensuring that they could enjoy every dish to the fullest.

The cost wasn't expensive, and the balance on my bank card barely changed.

It's lunchtime now, and the restaurant is packed with staff, almost as lively as a school cafeteria.

But as soon as the staff noticed Qi Xi's presence, the entire restaurant fell silent. Seeing her shake her head subtly, they quickly pretended not to know anything and continued eating with their heads down.

"Xiao Xi, you seem to be quite famous."

Lin Qiu sighed meaningfully, while Qin Yunmo and Yan Rou stared at the little guy with deep interest.

Even if it's a relative of an employee visiting, this guy knows way too much, especially information about the equipment and a lot of gaming knowledge.

They don't look like Yu Shu's distant relatives at all!

"Qi Xi, you wouldn't happen to be the daughter of the company's chairman, would you?"

Yan Rou couldn't help but ask, "Not only does she spend money like water, but she also knows the company inside and out, and she's so young."

She must be a rich heiress, right?

"Huh? Uh—no."

After thinking for a moment, Qi Xi shook her head. Her mysterious demeanor only piqued their curiosity.

Could she be the illegitimate daughter of the chairman's many affairs?!

"Your expressions don't seem to suggest you're thinking anything positive. Don't overthink it. I'm just a student like you, but I've already self-studied all the university courses, so I hardly need to attend any classes anymore."

Qi Xi explained, her calm demeanor causing Lin Qiu's lips to twitch slightly.

As expected, only having Sawaori by my side can bring me comfort at times like this...

Qi Xi didn't linger at the door and greeted them directly—

"Let's not just stand here, let's go see what good food we can get. Besides the rabbit pudding, I also recommend a little cake called 'Bunny Warrior'..."

119 - The issue of the sequence of indirect contact

"Just asking, is this the Bunny Warrior Cake?"

"hold head high-"

Where's the bunny?

Looking at the cool robot standing on the cake, especially the iron claws and heavy cannons on its hands, Lin Qiu's expression became somewhat subtle.

This doesn't look like a rabbit at all!

"This robot's codename is Rabbit, don't you think it's cool?"

Qi Xi mumbled something, smacking her lips as she chewed on the fruit cake, some cream still stuck to the corners of her mouth.

These cakes were specially made to my specifications, and they've sold quite well!

"Besides the Rabbit God of War, there are also Galaxy Lobster, Black Hole Coffee, and other drinks. These are quite popular in the company and are sold in limited quantities. You might not be able to get them normally."

"What are those two strange things...?"

As Lin Qiu complained, his attention returned to the cake, but his gaze was fixed on the area above the God of War's neck.

Where's the bunny's head?!

She looked at Qin Yunmo beside her with suspicion. Could it be that the class monitor was taking the opportunity to get revenge by sneaking a bite?

Sensing Lin Qiu's gaze, Qin Yunmo cautiously moved his cake aside to block his view, and didn't forget to warn him—

"You have it yourself, don't even think about taking it from me."

"..."

Seeing that the class monitor didn't seem guilty at all, he turned to look at Yan Rou on the other side.

After only a short while of watching the class monitor, the God of War's body also tragically disappeared, leaving behind only an undecorated fruit cake.

As if hearing a strange noise, Lin Qiu suddenly looked down at the table and saw that Ze Zhi, who had been conducting an interview, was now squatting under the table, frantically munching on a rabbit-shaped food.

In just a few bites, she had gnawed the rabbit down to just a leg.

Seeing that Lin Qiu had noticed her, Ze Zhi paused slightly, then slurped up the last leg and put it into her mouth.

"Sawari-san, what did you just eat?"

"nothing!"

"There's still some scum on your lips. If you keep talking nonsense, you're going too far."

Lin Qiu stared at the thieving cat as if it were a dead man, his fists hardening.

"Huh? Zezhi, when did you get here? Weren't you on an interview?"

Just as he was about to drag the guy out and strangle him on the bed, Yan Rou and the others noticed his presence and asked him a question with some confusion.

"The thought that you'd all be pretty much done eating by the time we finished the interview made me really eager to come, so I decided to come..."

"Come on over if you want, why are you trying to take mine!"

"When you eat cake, you have to take it bite by bite from both sides, leaving only the robot doll in the very center. It just makes me want to knock it over..."

Ze Zhi scratched her face and quickly crawled out from under the table. Before she could escape to Qin Yunmo or Yan Rou, Lin Qiu's hand had already grabbed her waist.

"Alas! Alas!!!"

Before her hand could even touch him, Ze Zhi shuddered as if she had been subjected to a strong shock. She screamed and arched her back, her pretty face turning red.

Seeing that this guy was obviously overreacting, Lin Qiu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and a somewhat creepy smile appeared on his face, which made Ze Zhi feel uneasy.

Qin Yunmo, who was standing next to her, also noticed her odd behavior and asked her curiously—

"Sawari, are you ticklish?"

"..."

Even though she didn't answer, everyone understood what she meant and their eyes were fixed thoughtfully on her waist.

This guy seems to be more sensitive than the average person.

"What's with those scratchy faces you guys are making?"

Zezhi glanced at the men with shifty eyes, his face full of vigilance.

These guys always love to kick someone when they're down!

"Ahem—Here you go, Sawari-san. I think some unnecessary misunderstandings in the past have affected our friendship. This cake is for you. I hope we can start over in the future."

"That's all I'm saying, but don't suddenly come closer. What are you doing with your other hand? Besides, this cake is mine, not... yours. Don't try to fool me."

Seeing Lin Qiu suddenly move closer to her, Ze Zhi bared her teeth and warned him as if her hair had been bristled.

This guy clearly came close with ulterior motives!

But wanting to avoid waste, she instinctively took the plate and scooped out a large piece of cake. The moment she put it in her mouth, she realized what she had done, and her face flushed bright red.

"what happened?"

"nothing......"

Faced with Qin Yunmo's question, Ze Zhi turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, pretending not to know anything as she stared at the small fork in her hand.

This fork looks like it was just used by Lin Qiu.

This can be considered indirect...

Zezhi didn't dare to think any further and quickly shook her head, shaking off all the unclean thoughts.

As long as you don't overthink it, it doesn't count!

"Squad leader, is that my fork in your hand?"

"Huh? This is mine. I just put it here..."

Qin Yunmo stared blankly at his hands. He had been drinking black tea the whole time and hadn't even had a chance to touch the cake.

Fork... Where did I just put the fork?

The class monitor frowned. At first, he was sure, but after Lin Qiu said that, he became a little hesitant.

Was it the left? Or the right? My own memory has become inexplicably blurry.

What proof do you have that it's yours?

"I bit that little plastic fork and bent it into a fork, the one on the left."

Qin Yunmo paused upon hearing this, glanced at the fork that had indeed been bent by the bite, calmly put down the fork, and turned to look at Ze Zhi.

So, does that mean my fork is with Sawaori?

Feeling Qin Yunmo's gaze, Ze Zhi hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when Lin Qiu spoke again—

"That one seems to be mine too."

"You use so many forks to eat dessert?"

"I remember when we were eating dessert, the first fork disappeared, so I grabbed another one, but it's gone too..."

Lin Qiu sighed; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Qin Yunmo and Ze Zhi, on the other hand, looked at each other and then stared intently at each other's forks.

Who used it first?!

"Yunmo—I remember you ate much earlier than me, didn't you eat first?"

"You're mistaken. I ate it a little later than you. I was drinking tea and didn't touch the cake."

"No, no, no, you should come early."

......

Yan Rou, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes as she watched the two of them making excuses.

It's not like we kissed face-to-face, is it really necessary!

120 - The senior student whose engine is always ready to start

"Ha-I'm so full, I feel like I've had enough desserts for the rest of my life."
