Chapter 8: It was her undergarments.

"Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Song Youbai, and I am your bouldering instructor." A clear voice rang out in the climbing gym. The speaker was a woman around 27 years old.

Song Youbai stood in front of the rock wall, her high ponytail clearly showing her clean and refreshing features.

Being the newly crowned champion of the national bouldering competition is already surprising enough, not to mention that she is the second young lady of the Song Group.

Her appearance caused the students present to whisper among themselves, marveling at how the school could have managed to invite such a person to give a lecture.

"Before the course begins, let's welcome our two new students." Her gaze calmly swept across the room. "Shen Mingjiao and Shen Ping have joined our rock climbing course today because of their excellent academic performance in their first year."

The moment the words left his mouth, two people walked in from the entrance of the training hall.

Shen Mingjiao walked in with hesitant steps, her newly dyed chestnut curly hair cascading over her shoulders like ocean waves.

Her long red and white checkered dress swayed gently with her steps, making her look as sweet as a perfectly made mousse cake.

The woman behind her, Chen Ping, also had a sweet appearance, but her eyes were completely different.

Qi Shaoyou lazily lifted his eyelids, his gaze lingering briefly on Shen Mingjiao.

Today, she truly looks like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he was interrupted by a barrage of blinks from the screen. Qi Shaoyou glanced at the two of them, then looked away.

That guy on the screen must have winked at least thirty times in ten seconds...

Qi Shaoyou was even afraid that this woman's eyelids would twitch.

How could she not know to turn off the screen? This guy is just disgusting himself.

Shen Mingjiao had no idea what Qi Shaoyou was thinking; all she knew was that she was very angry.

What happened to the promise to attend classes with Qi Shaoyou?

After all that effort, the only thing I managed to skip was rock climbing!

The rock climbing instructor was none other than Song, an older sister she knew. They had grown up together, and Song's appointment as the instructor was clearly a way for her to keep an eye on her!

What's most infuriating is Qi Shaoyou!

She specially changed her hairstyle and hair color, and wore a dress that best suited her complexion, but Qi Shaoyou didn't notice the changes at all, and she even looked away!

Shen Mingjiao retreated to a corner, feeling wronged, and stared down at the tips of her shoes, her eyes uncontrollably welling up with tears.

"Now, please go to the locker room to change into your training clothes." Song Youbai's words caused everyone to scatter.

Qi Shaoyou was about to leave when he noticed Shen Mingjiao still standing alone in the corner. Noticing her empty hands, Qi Shaoyou's lips curled into a slight smile as he walked towards her.

"Miss, we meet again." She stopped in front of Shen Mingjiao, tilting her head slightly so that a few strands of hair fell across her forehead.

Shen Mingjiao looked up as a shadow suddenly appeared, and met Qi Shaoyou's smiling eyes.

The next second, a hand with distinct knuckles handed her a gym bag.

"What do you mean?" Shen Mingjiao tried her best to keep her voice calm.

Qi Shaoyou took another half step forward, and all the noise seemed to leave Shen Mingjiao at that moment.

She leaned close to Shen Mingjiao's ear, her warm breath brushing lightly against her sensitive earlobe: "Miss Shen, didn't you bring a change of clothes?"

Her voice, lowered to a deep, magnetic tone, said, "How about I lend you mine?"

Chen Ping, who was standing not far away, gasped.

She had never seen Qi Shaoyou like this before!

Although each movement appears nonchalant, the combination creates the most fatal temptation.

Her whispered words, the excessive distance she maintained, and the smile on her lips all possessed a magical power that could make one's heart race.

"What's it to you!" Shen Mingjiao retorted stubbornly, but a subtle joy welled up inside her, like the rising bubbles in an iced cola.

She verbally refused, but her hands honestly accepted the bag Qi Shaoyou handed her.

Qi Shaoyou first handed the bag to Shen Mingjiao, and then, as she held the bag, he also held her hand.

It's so hot!

Shen Mingjiao felt her face flush and her heart race, and couldn't help but complain to Qi Shaoyou.

How could she be like this! Making physical contact with an Omega so casually!

"It's not free, you know." Qi Shaoyou moved slightly closer to her again, breaking the safe distance, his voice low and carrying a faint smile.

"My stuff is very expensive. It costs two thousand per minute to rent. Miss Shen can definitely afford that, right?"

Her languid tone rose slightly at the end, like a feather brushing against the heart.

Shen Mingjiao felt her heartbeat was disrupted by that tone of voice.

"I! I would never default on a debt!" she raised her voice, trying to hide her inner panic. "Who do you think you're talking to!"

Shen Mingjiao blushed and tried her best to prove her defiance with her voice. However, her eyes clearly showed only shyness.

Perfect! The ten-second timer has ended, and the mission is complete.

Qi Shaoyou calmly released his hand, his fingertips brushing against Shen Mingjiao's skin as he withdrew, causing a tingling sensation.

Chen Ping held what she was holding, frowning as she watched the interaction between the two.

Does Qi Shaoyou really want to stay here and not complete the mission?

Is she really not seducing him?

Is this a strategy she uses to deceive the system? All I can tell is this woman is flirting!

Song Youbai was about to walk over and hand the clothes to Shen Mingjiao, but he stopped the moment he saw Qi Shaoyou holding Shen Mingjiao's hand.

What bothered her even more was that Shen Mingjiao didn't push the other person away. She silently gripped the item in her hand and looked away.

"You gave her your clothes, what are you going to wear?" Shen Ping couldn't help but ask as Qi Shaoyou walked over.

Qi Shaoyou smiled nonchalantly and deftly took off his shirt.

Because of her movements, her firm waist and abdominal lines were clearly visible in the air, and her abs rose and fell slightly with her breathing.

"Many bouldering competitors wear only sports vests."

She casually draped her clothes over her shoulder. "I only bring a change of clothes so it's convenient to shower after class."

Chen Ping's gaze swept quickly over her, and he couldn't help but whistle: "Indeed, your figure is quite pleasing to the eye when it's exposed."

Qi Shaoyou raised an eyebrow: "If that's your reaction, I think it's better to get the clothes back."

"No, no, no!" Chen Ping immediately raised her hands in surrender. "I'll shut up, okay?" After saying that, she slipped into the locker room.

At this moment, Shen Mingjiao was completely immersed in her own world.

She looked down at the sports bag in her hand, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing it, as if she could feel the lingering warmth and scent of its owner.

Just holding the other person's clothes made her heart race and her whole body feel dizzy.

Why is it that this person can always so easily disturb her peace of mind?

Shen Mingjiao's lips unconsciously curled up, but she quickly pursed them back.

"Everyone line up." Song Youbai's clear voice drew everyone's attention back to the classroom. "Let's practice fall prevention postures on this basic line first."

She stood before the rock face, her posture upright: "More important than climbing speed is learning how to fall safely. Remember, protecting yourself is more important than taking a line."

Chen Ping nudged Qi Shaoyou with her elbow and lowered her voice: "Teacher Song teaches so diligently, and her arm muscles are beautifully defined. Do you think there's a possibility between us?"

Qi Shaoyou silently checked the system data, then poured cold water on the idea: "She is a beta chosen by the Shen family for Shen Mingjiao to marry into the family. The Shen family felt that their daughter was spoiled and that an alpha would have difficulty controlling her, so they chose a beta with a good temper."

She sincerely suggested, "So, stop thinking about it and find a different goal."

Qi Shaoyou offered his sincere advice, and Chen Ping carefully considered it.

"You're right! Go for it!"

Qi Shaoyou: ? ? ? Did one of those words match what she just said?

What is she asking?

Chen Ping didn't respond to Qi Shaoyou, but just looked at Song Youbai.

"They're a beta, I remember you're an alpha..."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Qi Shaoyou felt that she was being rather unreasonable.

“It’s okay. I have special privileges at the resort world that allow me to change my gender. If you ask, just say I underwent secondary differentiation.” Chen Ping gave a thumbs-up, which silenced Qi Shaoyou.

Damn, she wants something like that too!

Why can't she be a beta!

Just when Qi Shaoyou thought things couldn't get any worse, 0527 made a dazzling appearance.

[Hey bro, your one-minute contact task needs to be redone. It seems they detected you using two task objects to create a single task exploiting a system vulnerability...]

Qi Shaoyou: I can't laugh...

Qi Shaoyou: For a moment, I don't know whether to doubt my ears or Chen Ping's brain!!! [Clown]
