Chapter Five: Beg Me

Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed across Wu Qingqing's face.

Others may not know, but doesn't she?

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou are extremely profit-driven and only treat those who are beneficial to them well, such as Xu Yihuan, who has a very strong background, and their son Zhou Yanzhe, who is in an honors class.

As for bringing me to the Zhou family, it was simply to demonstrate their kindness to outsiders.

Wu Qingqing bit her lip.

But what Uncle Liu said wasn't wrong either.

Only by obtaining Xu Yihuan's academic token can he completely complete the score exchange and truly achieve a turnaround in his life!

Wu Qingqing took out her phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed the number.

Summer nights don't get dark so easily, especially since it's only a little past six o'clock now.

The sun was still setting outside, and the fiery red clouds dyed the entire sky crimson.

Xu Yihuan was sitting in a chair eating dinner when the doorbell rang.

They probably guessed who it was.

Xu Yihuan took out a piece of paper, slowly wiped her mouth, and then walked to the door and opened it.

Their gazes fell on the newcomer.

Zhou Yanzhe, wearing a black t-shirt, stood at the door.

To be honest, Zhou Yanzhe is really good-looking.

He's definitely a quintessential ascetic male god.

With a high, straight nose and drooping, innocent-looking eyes, his fine hair fell across his forehead. The twilight cast a glow on him, making him look nothing like the disheveled man he had been in the cafeteria.

However, Xu Yihuan was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.

"What do you want?"

Xu Yihuan crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame, watching Zhou Yanzhe with a leisurely air.

Zhou Yanzhe saw Xu Yihuan's nonchalant attitude.

He frowned subconsciously.

He didn't like her like that.

But Zhou Yanzhe didn't dwell on this.

He simply asked, "Why won't you let Qingqing and the others in?"

"I won't hold what happened today against you. Tell the property management to let their car in."

Xu Yihuan was stunned for a moment, and was about to close the door immediately.

Oh no, I've run into an idiot.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yanzhe reacted quickly and used his hand to block the door.

"Xu Yihuan, how long are you going to keep being so willful?"

"I've already heard about what happened from Qingqing. You were being willful and left without waiting for them. Now you're throwing a tantrum here."

"You can't expect everyone to pay the price for your little whims and mistakes."

Zhou Yanzhe spoke calmly, as if stating a fact.

His words even carried a sense of elder's tolerance.

It sounds utterly absurd.

Xu Yihuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Since you are so compassionate, look, there is a mountain in Sichuan, and there is a Buddha in the mountain. Make it come down and sit on it.”

Although Zhou Yanzhe wasn't much of a surfer, he wasn't exactly a caveman either. Upon hearing this, his expression darkened.

He was never good with words.

At this moment, Xu Yihuan's sarcasm left him speechless.

She pressed her lips tightly together and stared intently at Xu Yihuan.

Finally, with no other choice, as if in resignation, he gently parted his cherry blossom-like lips and said, "Tell me, what do you want in order to let them in?"

Wu Qingqing did nothing wrong; it was just because he taught her a few problems.

If this upsets Xu Yihuan, then Wu Qingqing shouldn't have to bear the consequences.

Xu Yihuan became interested.

Although her original intention was to frame Wu Qingqing and Liu Changyuan.

It's just about keeping Liu Chang away from her.

Otherwise, if we let them get the academic talisman so easily this time, wouldn't that be no fun at all?

Even if she didn't say anything, she would let them come back; it was just a matter of time.

Xu Yihuan looked Zhou Yanzhe up and down.

I never expected Zhou Yanzhe to be so good to Wu Qingqing, to go to such lengths for her.

I just humiliated myself in the cafeteria today.

In the past, I would definitely give myself the silent treatment for a while.

But now, for her sake, he's actually swallowing his pride and begging me.

interesting.

Xu Yihuan cleared her throat and looked at Zhou Yanzhe.

"I don't ask for anything else."

"Then, how about you beg me?"

Having lived two lives, Xu Yihuan realized that Zhou Yanzhe valued his reputation above all else.

Getting Zhou Yanzhe to say "please" is harder than getting him to stab himself twice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanzhe's fair cheeks flushed crimson, an indistinguishable blush from the sunset's glow or his own natural blood color.

It's like they're doing something shameful.

Both hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.

She pressed her lips tightly together, and even after a long internal struggle, she couldn't utter a sound.

Xu Yihuan felt like she had been watching Zhou Yanzhe for a long time.

It was so long that the sun was almost setting and the sky was getting darker.

Zhou Yanzhe still didn't say those two words.

Xu Yihuan finally looked away, pursed her lips, and muttered two words: "Boring."

"Alright, I'll let them in. Just wait a bit."

After saying that, Xu Yihuan closed the door.

Caught off guard, Zhou Yanzhe was locked out of the room.

This lock remained locked for an entire evening.

He didn't even know how he got home in the end.

But I just felt that Xu Yihuan was acting very strangely today.

He didn't come to his senses until Wu Qingqing spoke in his ear.

"Brother Yanze, thank you so much. You've really gone to a lot of trouble today."

"I never expected Huanhuan to be so willful. Not only did she leave without waiting for us to pick her up, but she also made the security guards stop us at the entrance of the community."

"I don't know when Huanhuan developed such a willful personality."

Wu Qingqing spoke with a sigh, sounding quite helpless.

Every word he said reached Zhou Yanzhe's ears.

In the past, he would have definitely agreed with such words.

But now, for some reason, an uncomfortable feeling welled up inside me.

He lifted his eyelids and gave Wu Qingqing a faint glance.

She left with a casual remark, "Don't talk about her like that again," and then departed.

Wu Qingqing was stunned for a moment.

Realizing the meaning behind Zhou Yanzhe's words, Wu Qingqing's face twisted with anger.

What does he mean by that?

Xu Yihuan humiliated him in the cafeteria today.

Now they're protecting her again?

Sure enough, she knew it; no matter what she did, he would still side with Xu Yihuan!

Just then, Wu Qingqing received another phone call.

He was still angry, and his voice was tinged with rage.

"Hello?"

"What did you say? How dare Xu Yihuan?!"

Hearing Uncle Liu say on the phone that he had been fired because of what happened today, Wu Qingqing was so angry that she threw her phone away.

His hands clenched into fists, his face grim: "Xu Yihuan, I won't let you get away with this!"

But at this moment, there is something even more important: Uncle Liu absolutely cannot be fired.

If he gets fired.

Who can help me get the academic talisman from Xu Yihuan?

Wu Qingqing forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

She turned and went to Zhou Yanzhe's room.
