As soon as Qi Shen finished speaking, the private room fell silent, and the atmosphere gradually became strange.

"I just wanted to ask..." Fu Shaosi stammered, which was unusual for him, and Qi Shen looked at him quietly.

The person opposite gritted their teeth and said in one breath, "You didn't tell anyone about that thing I did, did you?"

As soon as he said it, Fu Shaosi's heart skipped a beat.

Ever since the wedding banquet ended, the thought of that bastard across from him knowing his secrets has kept him from eating or sleeping properly. In just one week, he's lost weight, and his handsome face is practically covered in dark circles.

Upon hearing this, Qi Shen narrowed his eyes.

He was annoyed that the girl hadn't replied to his message.

Right now, a timid and anxious Fu Shaosi is conveniently approaching him. If he's unhappy, others won't be able to have an easy time either.

Qi Shen smiled slightly, his handsome face displaying a gentle and harmless expression. As if deliberately teasing, he asked in a leisurely and unhurried tone, "Who are you referring to?"

Fu Shaosi: "..." He knew this damn bastard wouldn't let him off easily. Fine, he'd play along!

Fu Shaosi held back, his exquisite face, a male version of a femme fatale, displaying unpredictable expressions. He forcibly swallowed back the words of abuse, and said with a forced smile, "Shi Yan and Chuan Zi."

"Oh." Qi Shen raised the corner of his eye slightly, feigning sudden realization, then a cryptic smile appeared in his dark eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

After observing his friend's embarrassing situation for a while, he slowly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell them."

Fu Shaosi's heart finally settled down, but then he heard the man's casual teasing voice again, "But I'm curious, you're surrounded by quite a few women, how come the news hasn't gotten out from them all this time?"

He lifted his eyelids, his peach blossom eyes half-closed, and glanced at Qi Shen with a forced smile, "You don't need to worry about that."

"OK." Qi Shen shrugged casually, exuding a charmingly roguish air.

Fu Shaosi felt a pang of pain in his eyes looking at his hypocritical and despicable behavior.

However, the purpose of today's visit has been achieved.

Although Qi Shen is a scoundrel, he does what he says.

Since he said he wouldn't tell Shi Yan and Bai Chuan, he wouldn't go back on his word. It's better for one person to know something that concerns his male pride than for three.

It's also his fault for being so sarcastic in high school.

Back then, everyone was young and naive, just beginning to experience romantic feelings. The four of them finally managed to get together, and when the topic of girlfriends came up, he jokingly teased Chuanzi and Shiyan:

One of them appeared to be frigid, while the other, a child bride, was required to remain chaste.

Later, when he went into battle, he found himself... well, never mind, at least he felt the pain after being stabbed himself.

Fu Shaosi pursed his lips, stood up, and looked down at the man eating. "You can eat by yourself. I'm leaving."

Having dinner with Qi Shen ruined my mood. If he didn't have something to do, would he have invited him to dinner? Does he really think he likes him a lot?

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off," Qi Shen said without looking up.

As Fu Shaosi passed by Qi Shen, he let out a soft snort. He hadn't really expected Qi Shen to do him any favors.

The door to the private room opened and closed repeatedly.

As Fu Shaosi's footsteps faded into the distance, the man put down his chopsticks and picked up his phone.

The girl still hadn't replied to his message; twenty minutes had passed since he last sent it.

Qi Shen's expression calmed down, his thin lips gradually pressed into a straight line, and he dialed a video call.

At this moment, a slender and beautiful figure was seen hurrying among the students on the campus of Haicheng University.

The cell phone in my bag started ringing.

Without even thinking, he knew who was calling. Fang Zhi gritted his teeth and ran forward with all his might.

She can only practice dancing during her lunch break and lunchtime, because there is no driver to pick her up during this period.

Of course, she wouldn't practice at school every day.

I can manage to find two days from Monday to Friday to eat at school under some pretext, but in reality, I barely have time to practice with the teacher.

Each time I practiced in front of the teacher, it was no more than an hour; the rest of the time I practiced on my own in the dance studio in Nangong.

Today, the dance moves were modified, so rehearsal ended half an hour later than she usually does after having lunch at school and returning to her apartment.

Her brother was quick-witted and knew her daily routine well, including when she finished eating and when she would go home.

If the time difference is significant, he will definitely ask.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhigeng dared not delay any longer and ran to the apartment.

-

The safety passage of the Ocean University restaurant isolates it from the noise outside, but the passage, which should be empty, is filled with rustling and blush-inducing sounds of saliva.

A slightly overweight, middle-aged man with a belly and an ordinary face is embracing a woman wearing a restaurant uniform.

"My precious darling." He kissed the woman's face impatiently with both hands, while his short, chubby hand slipped inside her underwear. "I've missed you so much."

The middle-aged man's name was Chen Hengtai. He was the manager of the school cafeteria, responsible for managing the staff, and also the one who was supporting Fang Zhen.

Fang Zhen felt extremely disgusted, but she concealed it well on her face. She glanced at the man and said reproachfully:

"You've been missing me for days because I haven't come to see you?"

Chen Hengtai's eyes flickered. "It's because my mom has been busy lately." He squeezed the soft flesh in his palm hard, chuckled, and the fat between his eyebrows and eyes squeezed together. His tone was ambiguous. "Baby, I'll come see you tonight."

Where he couldn't see, Fang Zhen couldn't help but roll her eyes. What did he mean by "his mother has something to do"? She'd been at Haida University for over a month, and she'd subtly figured out almost everything.
