Chapter 114 The Cafeteria Battleground? The Green Tea Cat is Fighting and Snatching! ...

"Sister Pei,"

Gu Zichen withdrew her hand, staring innocently at those unusually large cat eyes, blinking repeatedly. Her delicate face and slightly parted red lips spoke in a sweet voice, "Why did you ignore Chenchen this morning?"

"Chenchen thought Sister Pei was pretending not to know me..." Gu Zichen leaned down and whispered in Pei Qing's ear, his soft lips brushing lightly against her earlobe, giving Pei Qing goosebumps.

She looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, quickly pulled Gu Zichen to sit down and lowered her voice: "How did you find your way here?"

"What is Sister Pei saying? Chenchen doesn't understand." Gu Zichen hugged Pei Qing's arm and shook it from side to side, as if she were still the same child who didn't understand anything back then.

If Pei Qing hadn't witnessed the flirting incident at the social dance party, she might have chosen to believe it.

"Alright, stop pretending with me. I know you're of sound mind now. The Allied Forces won't let idiots in as students." Pei Qian ruthlessly exposed his facade.

"Sister Pei is as clever as ever~" Gu Zichen's rose-like lips curved into a smile as she released her grip, pulling out a small tracking device. "I put this little thing in because I was worried Sister Pei would sneak away~ It's really useful~"

When did her vigilance become so low? Pei Qing felt a chill run down her spine. The Gu family members all seemed a bit off; truly, 'birds of a feather flock together'! Big brother, how could you say such disgusting things in such an innocent and adorable tone!

She quickly used her antennae to search her entire body and found a light tracking device on her trouser leg. Pei Qing crushed it without hesitation and threw it into a nearby trash can.

"It's okay if it's lost, anyway, Chenchen has already found Sister Pei." Gu Zichen smiled slightly. Pei Qian suddenly saw Gu Fei's features. Good, good, good, as expected of the two brothers, she was impressed!

Just as she was about to try and persuade Gu Zichen to stop bothering her, a nasty voice suddenly came from behind her, "Oh, who is this? What, failed to seduce the young master of the Ye family and now you're trying to seduce someone else? How despicable."

Pei Qing rolled her eyes. When did this damn blue-haired giant arrive?! Before she could speak, Gu Zichen suddenly sat up straight, his voice icy, "What did you just say?"

Ling Rui seemed to only then notice Gu Zichen, and exaggeratedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, "Isn't this Vice President Gu?" He deliberately emphasized the word "Vice" and apologized in a fake manner, "I'm so sorry, my eyesight has been bad these past few days, I didn't see Vice President Gu here."

From the start of the semester, he couldn't stand Gu Zichen's pretentious manner. He was clearly arrogant and conceited, yet he insisted on putting on a benevolent facade. Similarly, Gu Zichen also disliked Ling Rui's spoiled young master attitude. If it weren't for the Ling family's position in the Supervisory Council, how could he possibly have narrowly won the position of student council president? He always looked down on everyone, acting as if he were so innocent.

From the moment their student council positions were officially confirmed, the two became irreconcilable enemies, constantly at odds.

Gu Zichen snorted coldly, not to be outdone, her cat-like eyes flashing with contempt, "Young Master Ling, do you think you've got some clever tricks up your sleeve to become student council president? Or do you think you were appointed because of your integrity? You're just relying on your good father..."

"You!" Ling Rui hated it most when people brought up his family background. He admitted that he did have an advantage because of his family background, but so what? If he wasn't good enough, those teachers wouldn't have voted for him! Forget it, there's no point in talking to that pretty idiot Gu Zichen who's not very bright.

He shifted his gaze slightly, chuckled, and turned his attention to Pei Qing, "I heard you were quite the star in class today, with poor study habits and a terrible attitude, which made Teacher Xing lose her temper quite a bit."

“Oh, I forgot, since you can get along with this idiot, you must be an idiot yourself. It’s only natural that you can’t answer such a simple question.” Ling Rui feigned surprise, his long sea-blue hair tied back, shimmering in the sunlight as he swayed, his fins and gills appearing when he was excited.

While lost in thought, Pei Qian suddenly realized that Ling Rui had two inconspicuous light blue gill openings on the side of his ear, surrounded by tiny scales.

No wonder his hair is so vibrant; he's a merman. But how could a race born in the sea develop such a fiery and wicked temperament? It's truly baffling.

Ling Rui noticed Pei Qing's distraction and was immediately enraged. He could tolerate Gu Zichen, since he was at least roughly equal to him, but why was this suspect who had failed in his extortion attempt ignoring him?!

He strode forward, grabbed Pei Qing by the collar, and tried to pull her up from her seat, but she was incredibly heavy and he couldn't budge her.

Ling Rui looked as if he had suffered a great humiliation, his fair cheeks flushed red, and he growled, "Get up!"

Pei Qing wanted to finish the last piece of braised pork, but Ling Rui was unusually irritable and didn't even give her that much time. With a tug and a release, the braised pork pitifully fell to the ground.

"My braised pork!" Two cries of anguish were uttered almost simultaneously.

One sound naturally came from Pei Qian, who had tragically lost her braised pork, while the other sound came from someone whose voice was blocked by the table and chairs.

Yu Ming, who had quietly moved to a few meters away from Pei Qing after finishing her meal, quickly covered her mouth. Damn it, why did she have to shout it out?!

Fortunately, the cafeteria was noisy enough at the time, and her voice blended in without attracting any attention.

"Boss, aren't we going over there now?" The woman next to Yu Ming was eager to join in the fun and add fuel to the fire.

"Tsk, what's the rush? Wait a little longer." Yu Ming reached out to stop her, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "I originally thought that besides Gu Zichen, Ling Rui was also on good terms with the transfer student, but it seems that's not the case now."

Yu Ming decided to eavesdrop a little longer. She gripped the table tightly, her ears perked up, making sure she didn't miss any useful information.

...

"Hey, I just came out of the cafeteria, guess who I ran into?"

"Who is it? Who is it? Stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Our newly appointed president, Ling, seems to have gotten into a fight with that transfer student who's rumored to have some powerful connections. It was quite a heated argument."

"My God, Ling Rui is not someone to be trifled with, why are they fighting like this..."

Several students chatted as they passed Ye Ling. Upon hearing the keyword, the blond boy, A, suddenly ran frantically towards the cafeteria. His relationship with Pei Qing was already precarious; God help him, Ling Rui shouldn't say anything he shouldn't!

Pei Qing rose with Ling Rui's help, looking down at the sea. She reached out to stop Gu Zichen from stepping forward, her hot breath gradually approaching the shimmering blue sea.

Ling Rui took a half step back uncomfortably, but Pei Qing pressed her against the edge of the dining table, making it difficult for her to move. Her two soft ear tips were so red that they seemed to bleed, but she still said in a fierce but weak voice, "I, I warn you—uh!"

The black-haired woman A reached out and stroked his hair like a lover, then suddenly yanked hard. Ling Rui cried out in pain, tears welling up in his eyes. He tried to break free, but sadly found that he couldn't budge her an inch.

"Phew... Let go, you bastard! That hurts! You pervert, let go of me now!"

"It hurts so much!" Ling Rui's voice was choked with sobs. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. This perverted bastard! He had to kill her!

Pei Qing ignored these harmless insults, pressing her high nose against Ling Rui's cheek and whispering, "Young Master Ling, you really have a bad memory. I seem to remember saying before that I would kiss you every time I saw you..."

She stuck out her tongue and sucked Ling Rui's earlobe into her mouth, her voice muffled: "Don't mess with me again, or I'll expose your secret meeting with Omiga, and we'll die together." As Pei Qing sucked, she suddenly found the earlobe to be surprisingly delicious and couldn't resist taking a bite.

"Ah!" Ling Rui suddenly screamed, struggling with all his might to break free. He covered his earlobe and retreated repeatedly, the wetness on his cheek reminding him of what he had just experienced.

Fear and nausea surged into Ling Rui's heart, frantically stimulating his brain, while another inexplicable palpitation that followed was forcefully suppressed by him.

His silver-blue eyes were filled with panic. He was completely disoriented and uttered incoherent curses: "You perverted bastard! You bastard A-class lesbian! You just wait! I will kill you, I will kill you!"

Ling Rui panicked and ran aimlessly until a familiar voice rang out.

"Ling Rui! Ling Rui! Where is Pei Qing? Where is Pei Qing? Did you bully her again?" Ye Ling rushed over, supporting her friend's trembling shoulders, and anxiously asked.

"Me? Bullied her?" Ling Rui was furious. It was that damned Pei Qing who bit him without saying a word, and his earlobe still hurts. Yet Ye Ling came up to him and questioned him without even asking what happened!

"I really don't understand why you're protecting her like this?! She's clearly a suspect! I told you I should have reported her to the Political Education Department long ago, but you insisted on stopping me! Fine, fine, very well!" Ling Rui laughed angrily, her tone sarcastic, "You don't know, do you? The person you're so eager to protect has already hooked up with that green tea bitch Gu Zichen!"

"Gu Zichen?" Ye Ling frowned. "What does this have to do with him?"

Ling Rui took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He absolutely had to get a vaccine; who knew if that damned female A had any infectious diseases!

"Go and see for yourself, they're right there." Ling Rui pointed to the window and strode away.

"Wait a minute! Ling Rui, where are you going!" Ye Ling tried to call out to her friend.

"Get lost! Don't bother me! I need to get vaccinated!"

Ye Ling, bewildered, walked towards the window. Before she reached it, she saw a slender figure linking arms with Pei Qing, the two chatting and laughing, their atmosphere sweet.

Ye Ling felt her blood rush to her head and ripped off the glaring white arm in three quick steps.

Gu Zichen was in pain from being pulled so hard, and was about to start cursing when she looked at the two people who seemed to know each other.

He wrinkled his nose, tears welling up in his eyes instantly. He hugged Pei Qing tightly, leaning against her chest, tears streaming down his face, his voice filled with grievance: "Sister Pei, who is this jerk? He pulled my arm so hard, it's all red..."

Looking at the travel-worn Ye Ling, and forced to embrace Gu Zichen who was buried in her arms, Pei Qing felt completely overwhelmed. She just wanted to get past this farce as quickly as possible. "Um, this is someone I met while playing games before. We're on the same team..."

"Oh, so we're not that close?" Gu Zichen deliberately raised his voice. "Never mind him, Sister Pei, let's go quickly. I want to go to the infirmary to get my medicine."

"Pei Qing, who is he?"

The scene before her was extremely jarring, but it paled in comparison to Pei Qing's words, "We met while playing games." Did he not even deserve to be called a friend now? Ye Ling laughed self-deprecatingly, her vision blurred, and her voice trembled.

"Well, well, how should I put it, it's about a little brother I saved before... haha." Pei Qing laughed awkwardly. She tried to push Gu Zichen out, but he just wouldn't budge.

"Sister Pei, let's go quickly. I feel like this person has a mental illness. What if he goes crazy and hurts you?" Gu Zichen pulled Pei Qing and led her around to the left.

Ye Ling suddenly stretched out her arm to stop Pei Qing, her nose and eyes red and tears welling up, "Do you really not want to see me?"

Pei Qing didn't say anything; she just wanted to slip away as quickly as possible.

Gu Zichen sensed a hint of lingering affection and immediately became alert. He dropped his pitiful act and spoke in a harsh and arrogant tone, "Sister Pei doesn't want to see you, don't you understand? Get lost!"

Ye Ling raised his head, trying his best not to let the tears fall. He looked directly at Pei Qing's face and said, "So what if you don't want to see me? It's my business that I like you. You didn't read any of the thousands of messages I sent you back then, so I don't care about this one or two more."

Alarm bells rang in Pei Qian's mind; a bad premonition rang within her. She wanted to drop out! She wanted to drop out! She couldn't stand this damn school any longer…

Hoo hoo hoo!!! Look what she heard?!

Yu Ming, who was half-squatting to the side, excitedly covered his mouth. What earth-shattering gossip! A real-life example of a gay-Alpha relationship! The young master of the Ye family is infatuated with a transfer student with a mysterious background, but the transfer student ignores him completely and instead gets entangled with the newly appointed student council president and vice president!

This trip to the cafeteria today was definitely worthwhile! That damn cabbage and tofu stew was worth it! Yu Ming perked up immediately. She loved joining in the fun, so let the drama get even more chaotic!

Yu Ming pulled the girl next to him aside and whispered a few words in her ear, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

Heh heh heh, when the overwhelming storm of public opinion hits, she'll see how the transfer student handles it! If this public opinion can make that transfer student slink away, that would be even better, saving her the trouble of putting in any more effort.

The first thing Ling Rui did after returning to his dorm was to take a shower. His earlobe, which Pei Qing had bitten, was burning hot and unbearably itchy. The heat gradually spread to the glands at the back of his neck, causing them to swell rapidly.

Damn it! Could that woman A really have some kind of infectious disease?! Why is he feeling so unwell right now?!

Wiping away the hazy mist from the mirror, Ling Rui could clearly see the glaring tooth mark on his earlobe. Was this guy a dog?! His teeth were so sharp; he almost bled!

He scrubbed his tender earlobes frantically, not stopping even when the skin was raw.

Only after he had vented his anger and the bathroom water had cooled down did Ling Rui belatedly realize that the glands on the back of his neck were still incredibly swollen. To make matters worse, large patches of light blue fish scales had begun to appear on his abdomen and legs...

What's going on?! Ling Rui was both shocked and frightened. He did indeed possess 70% merman blood, but why would scales suddenly appear?!

Recalling what Pei Qian had said, a terrible thought suddenly arose in his mind, and he slumped weakly into the bathtub.
