Chapter 81: Can other people's praise be the same as my own wife's praise?
Qin Shuzhi was stunned by the man's earnest and inquisitive expression.
So he stayed up all night after coming back from school, just worrying about this?
Does Mr. Shi not have a clear understanding of his own appearance?
Qin Shuzhi put down her phone, sat up, and leaned closer to the man, looking at his impeccably handsome features. She made a serious, scrutinizing expression, then frowned after a while. "Looking at you like this... I think I have a new opinion about you."
Shi Yuanxing held his breath as she approached. Hearing her words and seeing her furrowed brows, his pupils trembled, and he subconsciously asked, "What's your opinion?"
"Hmm~"
Qin Shuzhi pretended to hesitate, and seeing the man's long, straight eyelashes flutter several times, she suppressed a laugh and said, "I think... Mr. Shi is not only handsome, but also strangely cute and childlike, hahaha..."
Seeing the woman who couldn't help but laugh and fell onto the bed, Shi Yuanxing's handsome face flushed slightly.
"Is it funny?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her onto his lap and making her straddle him. His hand was on her waist, and his eyes held a threat. "Tell me, do you want to laugh or cry next?"
The warmth of the man's hand emanated from her thin nightgown, causing Qin Shuzhi to involuntarily tense up.
Laughter is like tickling an itch.
Crying is like being suppressed and forced into a stupor by him.
She doesn't want either of them right now.
There was nothing I could do; she was in his arms, so I could only try to please him.
Qin Shuzhi looked obediently at her mistake and said, "I was wrong."
"Don't think that admitting your mistake is enough."
Qin Shuzhi wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek affectionately.
Shi Yuanxing's Adam's apple bobbed. "...This won't work either."
Qin Shuzhi kissed both cheeks.
This time, the man didn't say no. He gave a soft "humph" and pinched her soft waist with his large hand. "How could you be so naughty?"
His mood was soaring all night because of her compliment, he felt both uneasy and elated. And then, she decided to play a trick on him.
"What's wrong with me? Isn't 'cute' a compliment?"
Could you explain "趣稚"?
He's a grown man, and she uses a word used to describe a child—is that considered a compliment?
"Well, I'm an English teacher, not a Chinese teacher. It's understandable that I might use one or two words inaccurately from time to time, right?"
Qin Shuzhi winked mischievously.
"Soliciting nonsense."
Shi Yuanxing pinched her cheek, his tone full of affection.
"Really." Qin Shuzhi looked at him with sincere eyes, a hint of unconscious admiration even showing in her eyes. "I just think you're cool, handsome, and cute, which is why you're even more charming."
Today at school, his dignified yet composed demeanor, his calm and efficient handling of matters, was truly captivating. It was a kind of charm that... was so different from how he is now.
After Qin Shuzhi finished speaking, she noticed that the man was trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of his lips, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Mr. Shi, you must have received plenty of compliments about your appearance since you were a child, so why do you start to doubt me when I just say something nice to you?"
"Can praise from others be the same as praise from my own wife?"
Qin Shuzhi asked in confusion, "What's different?"
Her words of praise didn't seem particularly special or outstanding, did they?
"What do you think is different?"
Shi Yuanxing's voice was unusually hoarse, and Qin Shuzhi looked up to meet his burning gaze.
The burning, eager flame in the man's eyes seemed capable of igniting a fire.
Qin Shuzhi's heart pounded like a drum, her cheeks flushed, and she dared not look him in the eye again, whispering, "I, I don't know..."
Shi Yuanxing tightened his arms, bringing the soft, fragrant woman closer to him, and said meaningfully, "My wife praised me... I felt it both physically and mentally."
His reaction confirmed his words; Qin Shuzhi's body tensed abruptly, her face burning even hotter, "You..."
She had barely opened her lips when they were sealed shut.
Qin Shuzhi's long eyelashes trembled, and the hands clinging to the man's neck unconsciously tightened their embrace. The two kissed more and more passionately and tenderly.
When their emotions ran high, neither of them could control themselves...
...
However, Shi Yuanxing was still very measured and didn't make too much of a fuss. When Qin Shuzhi's alarm clock rang the next day, she was still able to get up as usual.
After breakfast, Shi Yuanxing took her to school.
The school issued an announcement about what happened last night early this morning. During the morning exercise break, Principal Pang personally spoke on his microphone to tell the whole story to all the teachers and students and announced the school's decision to dismiss Zhou Siyan from her teaching position.
With the pests eliminated, Qin Shuzhi felt the air had become fresher.
That evening, Qin Shuzhi and his wife invited Lin Yuke to dinner.
During the meal, Shi Yuanxing received a phone call from Li Sheng, so he left his seat to answer it.
Li Sheng: "Mr. Shi, regarding the case of Zhou Siyan spreading rumors about my wife, the lawyer said that under normal circumstances, she could be sentenced to fifteen days in prison, but if you feel that's not enough, we can..."
"No need," Shi Yuanxing interrupted him. "Fifteen days is fine. Just give her a warning and let her know that she can't afford to offend just anyone."
"Huh?" Li Sheng was stunned.
I don't think the boss said that when he was in school.
Are you sure?
"Um."
Shi Yuanxing hung up the phone, looked up at the woman on the other end who was laughing and talking to Lin Yuke, and curled his lips into a wicked smile.
Wouldn't locking that woman up for too long just benefit Shen Yichen?
He was hoping that Zhou Siyan would cling to Shen Yichen after she got out, so that Shen Yichen wouldn't have time to bother his wife.

Two days later, Vice Principal Li was suspended from his post for unknown reasons.
At the same time, the higher-level dance course that he applied to add was also cancelled.
The two people who were happiest about this decision were the two music teachers who were reassigned to take on the additional role of dance instructors.
Friday morning.
During the break between classes when she was preparing for her last class, Qin Shuzhi received a call from Qin Zhiheng.
"Sis, I'm back from my business trip."
Qin Shuzhi hurriedly asked, "How did things go?"
A few days ago, Qin Zhiheng provided Vice President Fan with a loan plan that would not only ensure the smooth issuance of loans for Qin's project but also effectively advance Vice President Fan's loan expansion strategy. Two days ago, Vice President Fan accompanied him to the headquarters of Jushang Group to submit the plan for review.
Qin Zhiheng's voice was cheerful, "Jushang has already approved our company's loan application."
Qin Shuzhi looked delighted. "Brother, you're amazing!"
"Want to come out for lunch? I brought you a gift."
Qin Shuzhi happily replied, "Great!"
"Okay, I'll send you the address in a bit."
Qin Zhiheng hung up the phone and then dialed a number with the contact number "713".
As soon as the call connected, he asked, "Third Sister, are you free at noon?"
Qi Yishan: "What?"
"I'm back from my business trip. I brought you a gift. How about we have lunch together? Here you go."
These familiar words immediately put Qi Yishan on guard.
"What are you trying to get information out of me this time? Kid, let me tell you, I don't have any information for you to get right now."
"You're overthinking it."
Qin Zhiheng said, "This is a gift I brought for you sincerely this time, not something I borrowed from elsewhere."
He was indeed unfair last time, but this time he's here to apologize.
"Nobody would believe you."
"My sister is coming too, what am I supposed to ask you?"
"Zhibao is here too?"
Upon hearing that Qin Shuzhi was also going, Qi Yishan immediately changed her attitude, "Okay, I'll come too later."
