All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Um???"

Hearing Yunmo say this, Qin Zheng was completely dismayed. Daughter, you must not run away at the last minute!

"I'm having a get-together with friends, and I'll be staying at her place overnight. We're going out together on Saturday."

"friend?"

"It's the one where my mom's photos turned out dark before."

"Taking photos... Ah, I remember now, is it the one Ruoyun mentioned that poses a great threat to our family?"

"..."

Mom, what exactly did you say behind my back?

Qin Yunmo's lips twitched upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything, only nodded silently.

"What about Lin Qiu?"

"He's going too."

"That's alright then, have fun!"

Upon hearing that the two were still acting together, Qin Zheng's worries vanished instantly.

Just treat it like a date, it doesn't matter.

"By the way, how many of you went together?"

"Besides Lin Qiu and me, there are three other girls."

"How many?!"

Seeing Qin Zheng suddenly tense up, Qin Yunmo paused slightly while scooping up the soy milk, looking at his father with a somewhat blank expression.

Why are you making such a fuss? Is there a problem?

"Yunmo, I have a very serious question for you. Of the other three girls, besides the one who poses a particular threat, are the other two also very pretty?"

"Hmm...it's beautiful."

Although he didn't know his father was asking this, Qin Yunmo still nodded. Ze Zhi and Xiao Xi were quite good-looking.

Especially in class, Ze Zhi and her best friend Xi Mu Mei are quite popular with the boys. As for Xiao Xi, needless to say, she is the daughter of the chairman of "Kara no Kyoukai".

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng frowned, pondered for a long time, and then patted his daughter's shoulder and said—

"Honey, be careful. This gathering might be a bit dangerous for you. Watch out for those who might steal your time!"

144 - It's a rumor, but also a warning.

"They really did come together, and they were standing so close together."

Zezhi clung to the window, watching the two people walking towards the teaching building with longing eyes, her little mouth pouting involuntarily.

I never thought you two were so close before, how come you're inseparable now?

Hearing her best friend's sour mutterings, Ya Ya blinked in surprise—

"You're interested in that boy?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a little surprised. After all, Yunmo has never been so close to any boys before."

"Are you jealous of that guy?"

Ya Ya gave Ze Zhi a deep look. "It's only been one summer vacation, and you've already developed that kind of fetish?"

Sensing her strange gaze, Ze Zhi's lips twitched instantly—

"Don't overthink it. Having too much imagination isn't a good thing."

She flicked the guy's forehead in annoyance, and only after he smiled and said nothing more did Zezhi's attention return to the two people downstairs.

If things continue like this, it probably won't be long before these two are walking to school hand in hand.

But what about Sister Ziyan? I know her own little scheme; being caught in the middle is a bit of a problem...

Hearing Zezhi sigh deeply, Nishiki seemed to have guessed something and thoughtfully returned to her seat.

"Hey, what's wrong with Zezhi leaning against the window? The whole classroom can practically smell her jealousy."

Not long after Ya Ya sat down, a girl in the back row curiously came over and asked her a question.

They are quite interested in gossip and such!

"It's nothing, it's just that Sawari was a little surprised to see the class president and her deskmate getting along so well lately!"

"Oh-we get it!"

Seeing their obviously misunderstanding expressions, Ya Ya opened her mouth, about to explain something, when the two girls at the table behind her turned around—

Have you heard...?

What's with this feeling that these rumors are about to spread?

Ya Ya's lips twitched, and she looked helplessly at Ze Zhi. This is not my fault.

I didn't embellish anything, but I can't control what other people imagine...

As if sensing the malice from the depths of the universe, Zezhi shuddered and turned her head somewhat dazedly to meet her best friend's gaze.

what happened?

Meanwhile, Qin Yunmo, completely unaware of the situation, was still somewhat worried and giving Lin Qiu some instructions—

"My sister is quite playful, so please don't take some of her things seriously!"

"Don't worry, I know. Those two kids are just having fun."

Lin Qiu smiled and didn't take it too seriously. Although the two kids were mostly just having fun, they got along quite well.

Moreover, since her childhood friend next door moved away, Chie has had no playmates. Now that she has two little ones to keep her company, she feels much more at ease.

Seeing that Lin Qiu was so easy to talk to, Qin Yunmo breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although he knew that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction, he still had to take precautions!

We can't let those two little ones continue like this any longer. Right now, it's just dating rights, sleeping face photos, and hand-holding vouchers... ah, that's fine, but who knows what might happen in the future!

If we continue to indulge ourselves, we might end up risking everything, even our first hugs and kisses!

Just as she was thinking about how to discipline those two little brats when she got back, she vaguely sensed that all eyes were on her.

Is it because Lin Qiu is next to me? I feel like I'm attracting even more attention than before...

"Um—class monitor? Is it just my imagination? I feel a strong sense of murderous intent around me."

"It's your illusion."

Qin Yunmo glanced at Lin Qiu, who seemed a little uneasy, and said something casually.

Lin Qiu glanced around at the boys staring intently at her, their sharp gazes seeming to want to tear her apart.

You haven't even done anything yet, so don't stare at me like that!

Just as Lin Qiu was exchanging glances with everyone around him, Qin Yunmo led him back to the classroom.

She had barely sat down when she faintly heard murmurs coming from nearby—

"Hey, did you hear? The class monitor, Ze Zhi, and Lin Qiu are in a love triangle!"

"No, no, I heard a different version. It's that the class monitor and Lin Qiu were dating, but one time they took Ze Zhi out to play, and while they were drunk, they did it behind the class monitor's back!"

"Oh my god! Really?!"

"You obviously didn't tell the whole story. Actually, Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi have been secretly together for a long time, but the class monitor didn't find out. Most importantly, Xi Muya is also involved with him, and may even be pregnant!"

"Lin Qiu has actually gone this far with his affair?!"

......

"You're really good at cheating."

Listening to the increasingly nonsensical exchange, Qin Yunmo couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

But if we're talking about infidelity, Sawaori is probably the most dangerous one, she's done it several times already...

"It's just a rumor. These things always get more and more outrageous as they spread. Class monitor, don't join in the gossip."

Lin Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. First of all, it was unlikely that he and the class monitor would get together!

Not to mention Ze Zhi, she's always looking for trouble, just like Xiao Dan and the others. And who is this Xi Mu Mei?! I don't even know her, how could she possibly be pregnant?!

The class monitor shrugged noncommittally. Although he knew it was nonsense, it still had a warning effect.

We must be wary of philanderers!

That Zezhi guy is getting more and more outrageous lately. If we let it go, the next time it might not even be holding hands!

"Alright everyone—please sit down. I have something to announce today."

Before Lin Qiu could say anything, the homeroom teacher suddenly walked into the classroom and greeted them, and the whole class immediately fell silent.

One by one, the students looked at Bai Yujue, who was standing on the podium, with a somewhat blank expression. She then waved towards the door, and a petite figure walked in from outside.

Upon seeing that familiar white hair, Lin Qiu and the others' eyelids twitched simultaneously.

Why is this guy here?

"This is a new student who transferred to our class. Please introduce yourself and let everyone welcome him."

As the excited applause from the boys rang out, Qi Xi's gaze immediately locked onto Lin Qiu, who looked somewhat uneasy near the door, and a playful smile gradually appeared on her lips.

These three guys are really here...

"Ahem—My name is Qi Xi, and I am... oh right, Lin Qiu's childhood sweetheart. If you want to inquire about my hobbies or ask for my contact information, you'll have to get past Lin Qiu first."

"..."

Sensing the intensifying killing intent surrounding him, Lin Qiu felt completely uneasy...

145 - Childhood Sweethearts

"You bastard, you're just here to annoy me, aren't you?!"

"Waaah—stop rubbing! I finally managed to comb my hair properly, you'll be cursed by the heavens if you do this."

Qi Xi struggled frantically under Lin Qiu's hands. She rarely came to school, so she had made sure to look presentable, but this guy had messed it up in an instant.

"Why did he transfer to our class out of the blue?"

Qin Yunmo, who was standing to the side, asked casually, thinking that this guy would just drop by his class at most, but he didn't expect him to transfer here.

“I didn’t know anyone in my old class. I checked and saw that the three of you were all here, so I just came over.”

Qi Xi innocently spread her hands. Her uncle was more than happy for her to come to class often, so he readily agreed to her small request to switch classes.

But I never expected that these two guys would actually be deskmates. What a twisted fate!

"Let's put that aside for now. Are you going straight to Sister Ziyan's place after school?"

"You guys go ahead, I still have some student council matters to deal with, I'll be a little later."

Qin Yunmo shook his head. He had been busy picking locks and dealing with his family these past two days, and hadn't paid much attention to the student council. He guessed that there was a lot of work piling up.

If we don't go soon, the president will go crazy.

As for Yan Rou... she'll probably find it quite interesting.

"As for the student council matters, that girl with the bun hairstyle isn't very efficient. We can just recruit some more people to help her."

Qi Xi didn't care too much, as long as Qin Yunmo could be there.

I'm really looking forward to the five-person camp activity. Although Lin Qiu's expression of wanting to die together was a bit worrying, it shouldn't be a big deal!

At worst, I'll just sleep with Yunmo in my arms tonight! I refuse to believe anyone can threaten me!

"By the way, how's the team boss thing going on your side?"

As if remembering something important, Lin Qiu asked with some anticipation, as he was really looking forward to the new boss's materials!

There are still quite a few potions I haven't unlocked in my alchemy skills!

"It's almost done. You'll see the side quests when you log in. The story is a bit long, but the rewards are good. It's a high-risk, high-reward story."

"Oh, that's good. We can go try it together tonight."
