“Old Bai, I heard you went back late last Sunday night.”
Class had just ended for Chinese.
Hearing Old Zhu’s question, Bai Chen was so startled that the pen in his hand skidded across the paper.
“What are you… No, what nonsense are you talking about? I went back early.”
Old Zhu rubbed his chin, looking suspicious.
“Come on, just admit it. Were you secretly meeting someone at the square?”
“Nonsense! What secret meeting?”
The moment he said it, Bai Chen instantly remembered what happened that night.
The girl under the moonlight.
Soft legs.
Half the sky hidden from view.
That night he didn’t just go home late—he even fell asleep late.
No matter how he adjusted, the pillow never felt comfortable.
Besides, how could something like that be called a secret date?
Bai Chen believed that between him and Mo Qiu, it was nothing more than a normal meeting.
She comforted me normally.
She gave me a pillow normally.
And she… kissed me normally…
Bai Chen’s face changed dramatically, as if the girl had once again pressed a kiss onto his cheek right at that moment.
Aside from his mother, she was the first person of the opposite s*x to ever主动触碰 him so closely.
Clearly it was just a kiss, yet Bai Chen had felt a kind of indescribable tenderness.
Her lips were warm and soft, like velvet brushing gently across his skin.
The memory alone made his heart pound, the warmth lingering on his cheek vivid and unforgettable.
It wasn’t just physical contact.
It felt like something deep inside him had been touched.
Why did Mo Qiu kiss me?
Even if she said it was a bonus reward, that still wasn’t normal.
While Bai Chen was sinking deeper into his thoughts, Old Zhu kept chattering on.
“Old Bai, say something! Why aren’t you answering? Were you two really secretly meeting…”
“Secretly meeting?”
Hearing that voice, Old Zhu froze, turning around like a stiff machine.
There she stood—the girl whose dead-fish eyes could swallow people whole.
Mo Qiu was suddenly right behind him, holding a math textbook.
She had heard their conversation the moment she arrived.
A secret meeting?
Who was Bai Chen secretly meeting with?!
Impossible.
Mo Qiu was certain she had complete control over Bai Chen.
Every unusual detail about him was always under her watch.
And in that situation, he still managed to meet someone without her knowing?!
Her already dim eyes sank deeper, filling with a terrifying darkness.
A single glance from her turned Old Zhu pale.
He ran away immediately, terrified he’d be swallowed whole if he stayed another second.
Mo Qiu sat down in Old Zhu’s seat.
Her eyes bored into Bai Chen, making him extremely uneasy.
What’s wrong?
Is she in a bad mood?
Bai Chen noticed that her eyes seemed even prettier than usual.
He hoped it wasn’t just his imagination.
Letting Old Zhu escape that quickly was Mo Qiu’s mistake.
She should have confronted him right then and there.
Who was the stupid woman secretly meeting with Bai Chen behind her back?
Emotions were a forbidden zone.
If Bai Chen developed attachment toward another girl, he would never again be the best hero.
No.
Unforgivable.
This must be crushed immediately.
The girl’s hand trembled as she gripped the textbook tightly.
Seeing her silent, Bai Chen smiled.
“Mo Qiu, is something wrong?”
As if his smile stung her, Mo Qiu narrowed her eyes slightly.
She set the textbook down and pointed to a problem on one of the pages.
“This question—I don’t understand it. Can you teach me?”
“Ah, y-you’re asking me about math?”
Bai Chen’s expression instantly crumpled like a bitter melon.
Her dead-fish eyes stared like a surveillance camera, pressuring him from all directions.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and study the problem with her.
Unfortunately, it was one of his worst topics.
He couldn’t solve it.
But Mo Qiu was right beside him.
She came to me for help, so I can’t just lose!
Bai Chen followed the steps taught by the teacher, writing them down one by one.
Then he got stuck.
Mo Qiu studied his expression.
His eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if he were constipated, and his pen spun wildly between his fingers.
“Bai Chen… you don’t know how to do it, do you?”
“Give me a little more time—I’m almost getting somewhere!”
Cute.
The great hero who would save the world, defeated by a math question.
If she had her phone right now, Mo Qiu would definitely take a picture and paste it on the wall.
Maybe next time a zombie outbreak hit, she wouldn’t even struggle to find motivation.
Seeing this rare spectacle, Mo Qiu gave him a hint about a very obvious mistake.
How she knew?
Because she had already learned this question long ago.
“Ah! I knew it!”
Right—of course!
Bai Chen’s mind suddenly cleared.
The remaining steps flowed smoothly, and he solved it quickly.
He exhaled dramatically.
Someone once said that solving a long-time math problem feels more satisfying than… self-relief at home.
Mo Qiu pretended to check his steps, but secretly peeked up at him.
Then she spoke.
“Bai Chen, are you free this weekend?”
“Yeah, why?”
“I want to invite you to my house to study.”
Bai Chen instantly regretted his answer.
Ever since they first met, Mo Qiu always did shocking things whenever no one else was around.
Last time she even dared to kiss him.
This weekend… who knew what would happen at her house?
A week passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived—the day they agreed to study together.
The situation had changed.
Mo Qiu needed to turn things around.
As long as I keep Bai Chen busy, that woman won’t have a chance.
And if he refused her invitation, she could use that moment to figure out exactly who the brazen woman was.
Even just walking down the street, Mo Qiu kept her fists clenched.
To conquer a man’s heart, you start with the stomach.
If Bai Chen had nowhere to release his energy… wouldn’t he naturally choose the only woman around him?
Mo Qiu even specially bought a red outfit.
They said that color ignited men’s desire to fight.
She could already imagine the scene in her mind—
(not original text––scene missing in provided raw)
Mo Qiu changed her plan.
If someone dared to compete with her, then they couldn’t blame her for being ruthless.
To make sure Bai Chen had enough energy, she planned to buy a lot of food to cook.
The newly built market no longer showed any traces of the ruins it used to be.
Still, certain corners gave Mo Qiu a strange sense of déjà vu.
Carrying her full grocery bags, she stopped in front of a fish stall.
The lady boss greeted her.
“Little sister, what are you buying? My grass carp is very good.”
“Do you have softshell turtle?”
“What?”
The owner blinked.
“Little sister, you want that kind to make tonic soup for a man?”
“What?”
“Boiled into soup—for men to drink.”
“Ah?”
Since she expected Bai Chen to study from daytime until the next morning, Mo Qiu needed to prepare enough nourishment to prevent him from collapsing midway.
After checking several stalls without success, she left the market to look elsewhere.
I have to hurry.
It’s almost time for Bai Chen to arrive.
We’ll study while the soup cooks.
Then he’ll stay for dinner naturally.
I’ll take a shower, put on the red outfit—he won’t escape.
If it comes to it… I’ll just use that little potion, force his primal instinct awake.
Once I get ahead of that woman, with a man’s usual mindset, he’ll naturally cut ties with her.
Mo Qiu had researched the city and knew where to buy such things.
Walking along the street, she glanced across the road and stopped moving.
Across the road, a woman with the appearance of an ancient beauty was walking away.
Anyone who glanced at her immediately stared in a daze.
She smiled softly, like a goddess statue brought to life.
Why is she here?
Her appearance is no different from a human’s now—just changed clothes and hair color, and she walks the streets freely.
Watching her disappear into the distance, Mo Qiu turned sharply.
It was the first time she had ever seen Elia outside the conference room.
So she’s finally about to take action?
