Yu Qiao angrily kicked Chen Zhu's table.

That wretched little dog! I hope she doesn't catch me doing anything shameful!

They've gone astray and even dared to skip class.

"Professor, I'm sorry, I'm late."

A husky, sexy voice came through.

Yu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the door and saw Shen Zhu standing straight in the doorway.

He seemed to have just washed his face; his handsome, delicate face still had a thin layer of red on it, with glistening water droplets clinging to it, and his lips were a pale red.

They were wearing the same white shirt, suit pants, and uniform, but he looked exceptionally good in them; even his hair looked better than other men's.

Yu Qiao couldn't help but snort. No wonder it was the puppy she had her eye on!

The professor standing above was suddenly interrupted. His displeased expression eased when he saw that it was his beloved student.

After all, Shen Zhu's score was undeniable among this group of unruly and idle young masters.

His favorite person was Shen Zhu, who was studious and didn't cause trouble. He couldn't help but show a loving, fatherly look in his eyes: "Come in."

"Thank you, Professor."

Shen Zhu lowered his gaze, strode in, pulled out a stool, and sat down.

I smelled a pleasant fragrance.

"Chen Zhu, why did you take a shower?" Yu Qiao wrinkled her nose and sniffed, looking puzzled.

"No." Shen Zhu's eyelashes trembled, her voice hoarse, yet carrying a hint of sensuality.

He denied it outright.

But Yu Qiao leaned closer and sniffed again, frowning as she reiterated, "It was washed, I can smell it!"

"This is the scent of the academy's shower gel."

Mingde Academy has showers that can be used by swiping a card. Yu Qiao had showered there once, and she wouldn't mistake the smell. The puppy had actually learned to lie!?

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Shen Zhu could only admit, "It was washed."

"Then why won't you admit it?" Yu Qiao looked at him, her eyes filled with anger and confusion.

"I just think it's a very private matter and there's no need to talk about it. I took a shower."

Yu Qiao frowned even more, hesitating as she felt that what he said seemed to make sense, but!

How could a puppy disobey its owner? She snorted, "I need to know everything about you. A responsible owner should understand all the actions of her puppy! Understand?"

"Understood." Shen Zhu's gaze was fixed on the table, his dark and gloomy eyes growing deeper and deeper, like the boundless night, thick and diffuse.

"Then I'll let you off this time." Yu Qiao stroked her chin, raised her head, and snorted.

Shen Zhu's dark eyes paused for a moment, then he slowly turned his head to look at her, his voice inscrutable: "Then thank you, Miss."

"Hmm." She raised her chin even higher, seemingly very proud.

A fleeting thought of melting ice and snow flashed in Shen Zhu's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, turning crimson.

And so, peacefully, school ended.

Most students at Mingde College are day students; only those from out of town choose to live in the small villas on campus.

Yu Qiao, an indigenous person, is naturally one of the students who commute from home.

"Qiaoqiao, shall we go together?"

The girl who came over and affectionately linked arms with Yu Qiao was named Gu Zhilei. Her family was relatively well-off, but their wealth was worlds apart from that of the Yu family.

"No." Yu Qiao glanced at Chen Zhu, who was standing straight and pointing at her desk. She still had to take the puppy home!

“Qiaoqiao, actually I…” Gu Zhilei hesitated, tugging at her little shirt, which had a greasy stain on it: “I wanted you to come with me to change into a different uniform, because the one I’m wearing is a bit dirty.”

"Can't you go by yourself?" Yu Qiao frowned, her gaze fixed on Shen Zhu.

Gu Zhilei pouted, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

This ignorant and spoiled young lady is really making a joke!

She could certainly go by herself, but a new uniform would cost over 30,000 yuan!

Generally, people wash and clean their clothes after they get dirty, and it's rare for someone to change their clothes just because they get a little stain.

But Yu Qiao is like that! Even if there's just a tiny bit of dirt on her uniform, she'll change into a brand new one!

This amount of money is nothing to Yu Qiao, especially since Yu Qiao has helped her change several outfits before. So what's wrong with helping her change another one today?!

What are you pretending to be confused about today?!

"Qiaoqiao, aren't we good friends? Of course I can go alone, but I'll be happier if you come with me." Gu Zhilei chose to compromise herself a little. All she had to do was slightly please this vain and foolish young lady to get a brand new uniform. Why not?

Yu Qiao smiled and said, "Then don't be happy."

Just as Shen Zhu was about to walk over, Yu Qiao took small steps to his side: "Little dog, I'll take you home today."

"No need, I still have to do part-time work." Recently, there have been many expenses at home, so Shen Zhu has two extra jobs. Tonight, he is going to DJ at the most bustling bar in City A.

"Part-time job?" Yu Qiao frowned again and took out a card from her bag: "There's 500,000 in here, take it."

"Boys should go home early, protect themselves, and are not allowed to do part-time jobs."

Shen Zhu pushed her hand away, being terribly stubborn in this regard. His gaze calmly fell on Yu Qiao's angry little face, and he said, "I will earn money myself."

"But I want to give it to you."

Gu Zhilei watched the two of them make excuses, her eyes burning with desire as she stared at the bank card, wishing she could snatch it away.

Why would anyone pass up free money? Is Shen Zhu an idiot?!

A barely perceptible hint of mockery and disdain flashed in Gu Zhilei's eyes. She seized the opportunity to step forward and take Yu Qiao's hand, smiling sweetly: "Qiao Qiao, it seems that Shen Zhu doesn't want you to see me off."

"Why don't you come with me to change into your uniform? Your name tag is dirty, you can get a new one too."

"Gu Zhilei!" Yu Qiao angrily pushed Gu Zhilei away.

Gu Zhilei was momentarily stunned. Normally, if she said Yu Qiao's things were dirty, she would be anxious to change them.

She used to be incredibly grateful for her keen observation skills, so what's wrong with her today? Not only did she not offer to help her pay for the new uniform, but she's also so angry?

"Why did you interrupt me when I was talking to Shen Zhu? Ugh, you're such an annoying guy!"

Yu Qiao grabbed Shen Zhu's wrist, a fierce expression appearing on her fair and pretty face: "Stay away from me, you're really annoying me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Shen Zhu and strode away.

Gu Zhilei stood there stunned for a long time before she reacted, a look of jealousy that was not in line with her age appearing on her face.

The spoiled, rude, and capricious young lady is as disgusting as ever!

So what if he has a little money? Why is he acting so high and mighty!

Gu Zhilei angrily grabbed the uniform and raged in a fit of impotence. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, when she turns the tables, she will definitely teach this arrogant young lady a lesson!
