Lin Xiao and Nan Lichuan are both students, and of course they haven't forgotten, so they still go to school when it's time. However, because of these recent events, they've been put in the spotlight.

Although Lin Xiao liked this feeling, the process was too troublesome. Being chased by fans in the entertainment industry was one thing, but he didn't want to continue doing the same thing outside.

A coffee shop in a certain location on campus.

In a coffee shop not far from the school, two girls were sitting opposite each other in their seats.

The girl who arrived first spoke first, took out what looked like an expensive bank card, and told him the PIN, smiling at the girl.

“We’re not beating around the bush, we’ve come to you because we need your help, Miko.”

Miko was surprised that the other party could call her by name. He must have come prepared. A promising young man had let her go and even chose to cooperate with her.

"So, what's the matter, and what does this mean?" He pointed to the expensive card and asked questioningly.

Li Qin chuckled softly. What a lovely girl. It seems she made the right choice; this position is only for her.

"You really like Nan, don't you? What do you think if I had the chance to let you meet Nan?"

Miko raised her delicate eyebrows, thinking she could use her to cross the bridge? Wasn't that a bit too optimistic? She didn't seem that stupid.

"Miss Li Qin, are you taking advantage of me because I don't understand these so-called ways of thinking? Are you using me?"

Remember how you previously announced to everyone that you were Nan's girlfriend and asked your rival for help? Wasn't that a bit too ridiculous?

“I’m not kidding. We can settle our private matters privately, but don’t you think his biggest rival right now is his younger brother?”

Whenever Li Qin thought of Nan Lichuan and the gentle expression on his face when he looked at his younger brother, she would feel a deep, intense jealousy, a kind of intense hatred that made her want to get rid of Lin Xiao as soon as possible.

"Oh? Alliance, what's in it for me?"

"Of course there are benefits. As long as they are eliminated by each other, wouldn't it be easier for us to compete?"

She spoke with great confidence and eloquence. Li Qin is a woman who is good at psychological warfare, so dealing with a young girl like Meizi is more than enough for her.

"Alright, I agree, but the final battle for Nanlichuan rests solely on our shoulders. As for the rest, I hope you won't try any tricks on me, or else... hmph!"

After finishing her business with Li Qin, Meizi even gave Li Qin the coffee she had ordered as a courtesy, and then left without paying any attention.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao and his classmates at school found out that Qiao Zhaoning was dating him because the news had been leaked.

*Facepalm* Dating in China is exactly the same as before.

The class monitor wasn't a particularly gossipy person, and he was forced to ask because Lin Xiao's chosen lover was actually a boy! A boy!

Even a straight man like him was incredibly curious: how could two men do that? Had they been doing this for a long time?

"Is there something wrong, class monitor? Or is there some homework I haven't handed in?"

The class monitor was so startled by Lin Xiao's composure that he stammered, shaking his head frantically, "Ah, no, it's those female classmates! They're saying why you chose a boy as your boyfriend, and from our class at that… from our class…"

When the class monitor's face turned even redder when the topic turned to their class, it was a bit too embarrassing for someone who had never been in a relationship.

"Oh, really? So, class monitor, do you think it's wrong to like someone of the same sex? Or are you all just disgusted by same-sex relationships?"

Lin Xiao spoke softly, loud enough for everyone around to hear. Everyone thought they were about to witness a good show, but it seems they were mistaken; they wouldn't get to see it.

"Ah, of course not. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. Don't you think so, Lin Xiao?"

The class monitor seemed even more agitated than him; the topic of homosexuality had always been a source of unease for him.

Because a long time ago, he was confessed to by a gay man, and at the time he treated him as a pervert.

"So, if you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask me directly. Your class monitor is very busy, you know."

On the surface, Lin Xiao's prestige doesn't seem very high, but in reality, the icy aura he exudes when he speaks is something no one can imitate.

Qiao Zhaoning gripped an English book tightly. He couldn't take it anymore. Even though they were just pretending to be a couple, how could he bear to see Lin Xiao being pointed at and gossiped about?

"Smack."

The black-haired boy slammed the book onto the table, his cold eyes sweeping across everyone's faces, as if issuing a warning and a sense of caution, trying to break the group's boredom.

"That's enough, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. I was the one who pursued him, it has nothing to do with him."

The rational fan, however, was more pragmatic and, recognizing the seriousness of the situation, acted as a peacemaker.

"Oh, you two shouldn't be angry with each other. They didn't mean it that way; they were just showing concern and being curious."

As the 'person in charge' of this incident, Miko was very satisfied with the outcome. She sat in her chair, smiling broadly, seemingly indifferent, but actually overjoyed.

Indeed, revenge can bring great pleasure. Even if he can't have Nan, he won't let Lin Xiao get what he wants so easily.

As if she had forgotten something important, Meizi remembered and picked up her phone to call her business partner, Li Qin.

"Li Qin, you're right. Only in this way can we destroy Lin Xiao as quickly as possible."

Then let Nan see what kind of person Lin Xiao is. I handled this matter well today. How's it going on your end?

The other party was naturally happy to hear a satisfactory answer, but how could Li Qin possibly agree to hear her secrets? Of course, she stammered and made an excuse to hang up the phone.

Miko was left alone, stunned for a moment, then disdainfully tossed the phone into the cabinet.

Very well, Li Qin, even if I can't do anything to you now, it doesn't mean I can't in the future. If you dare to take advantage of me, then give it a try.

Nan Lichuan and the others were unaware of Meizi and Li Qin's collaboration. All he knew was that someone had reported news about gay school heartthrobs and had even delivered it to the president's office.

Frowning as he looked at the newspaper that was bothering him, he wondered how others would treat him if he and the little one were together in the future.

He always thought the worst, but he didn't consider Lin Xiao's feelings at all.
