Chapter 11
Then came the weekend, and Qin Lian was not at home for two days.
Su Wenxing felt bored at home alone, so she used her mobile phone to make a video call to her family.
His family asked him many questions, such as how he was living, how he was eating, and how his studies were going.
Su Wenxing answered all of them patiently, one by one.
Su Wenxing: "My major isn't too demanding, so I can manage for now. By the way, I think I need to buy a laptop; our major requires computer-based learning software."
Mom: "Just buy it, it's a small matter. You don't need to tell us about it."
Dad: "Are you short of money? Do you want me to give you some more?"
Su Wenxing quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, I have money."
Mom: "What kind of computer do you want? Should we ask your cousin?"
Su Wenxing's cousin has graduated from university and knows more about university life than her elders do.
Su Wenxing: "It's better to ask Qin Lian than my sister. Qin Lian is right here with me, there's no need to call my sister."
The main reason is that Su Wenxing doesn't want to call his sister. His sister is quite controlling, and if he calls her, she can't help but worry about him.
They chatted for a while longer before Su Wenxing hung up the phone.
He opened the shopping app and decided to use it to check out the latest computer models.
Now that they have a home, they can actually afford to install a desktop computer.
That way, even when he's bored, Su Wenxing can play some games or something.
Thinking this way, Su Wenxing first searched for laptops, and then searched for desktop computers.
He added the styles he liked to his shopping cart, planning to wait for Qin Lian to come back and ask him to take a look.
Qin Lian didn't return until Monday. Su Wenxing went to school by herself on Monday afternoon.
He rode his mountain bike all the way to the classroom, arriving less than ten minutes before class started.
At this moment, Qin Lian called him and asked how he had been doing these past two days. She also asked if he was feeling unwell.
Su Wenxing: "It's alright, just a little boring. When we meet tonight, can you help me choose a computer? Our major requires computers. As for my health, it's still the same. I don't feel like I'm going to have an attack, but I still feel very tired."
"Has the system not issued any new tasks?"
"It's been released. It was released this morning."
"What mission?"
"Oh dear, I'm at the entrance of the teaching building right now. Let's talk about the mission later."
While at school, Su Wenxing was too embarrassed to talk about the succubus mission. She always felt that school was a place for studying and learning, and that she shouldn't talk about other nonsense.
Qin Lian said "okay" and then hung up the phone.
He's been quite busy these past few days, and I doubt he'll have an easy time afterward.
If he could do more tasks, he would feel more at ease about Su Wenxing's situation.
Just as Qin Lian hung up the phone, a motorcycle pulled up beside him.
The driver was none other than Qin Lian's roommate, Xu Qu.
Xu Que sat in the car and looked at Qin Lian, saying, "I'm not going to class this afternoon. If you don't want to go to class either, you can come out and have some fun with me."
Qin Lian frowned slightly upon hearing this, then glanced at the handsome young man in Xu Que's car.
This handsome young man was someone Qin Lian met yesterday while looking for an apartment for his company.
The other party is also a local of L City, and their family should be quite well-off.
I don't know how it happened, but I just hit it off with Xu Que, and the two of us quickly got together.
However, Qin Lian didn't think much of them, as Xu Que was rather promiscuous.
Since starting university, he has lost count of how many people have come and gone from his life.
Xu Que is a typical rich second-generation heir and a playboy.
The handsome young man in his car clearly wanted to be with him.
A relationship between two people like this is unlikely to end well.
Qin Lian: "No, let's do it another day."
Qin Lian waved his hand as he said this, and then walked towards the school.
Watching Qin Lian's figure disappear into the distance, the handsome young man sitting in Xu Que's car said, "Your roommate is really well-behaved."
They're already seniors, yet they still obediently go to school for classes.
Xu Que scoffed upon hearing this, "He's well-behaved? He may be well-behaved when it comes to studying, but he's not well-behaved in general."
Why do you say that? Has he done anything wrong?
"Yes, he has. He has hit women and even had an affair with his childhood friend."
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Hitting women? I hate men who hit women the most. Judging from this, he's not a good person either."
As for messing with your childhood friend, there's nothing wrong with that.
Compared to Xu Que, it's not exactly a shocking thing.
When Xu Que mentioned messing with his childhood friends, he was referring to Qin Lian and Su Wenxing.
Although Qin Lian clarified on the forum that there was nothing between him and Su Wenxing, Xu Que still felt for some reason that there was something fishy going on between the two.
Xu Que also had childhood friends, and his relationship with them was completely different from that of Qin Lian and Su Wenxing.
Qin Lian was overly concerned about Su Wenxing; he always felt that they would end up together sooner or later.
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Have you decided where you want to go for fun?"
“I’ve thought it through. I want to introduce you to my friends. My high school classmates have formed a band, and they can perform for you.”
...
On the other side, Qin Lian walked all the way to school, but did not obediently go to class.
He has something to discuss and wants to see a teacher.
Just as he was searching for his teacher's contact information on his phone, a girl with an injury on her forehead ran quickly toward him.
Qin Lian's first reaction was to go up and help, but then he remembered an unpleasant memory from the past and stopped himself from doing so.
In high school, a girl got injured, and he kindly carried her to the infirmary, but she then started pestering him.
He went to great lengths to get rid of her.
Later, he almost received a disciplinary action from the school because of her.
Thinking back to that experience, Qin Lian gave up the idea of helping others.
He pretended not to see the injured girl and continued walking forward with a cold, expressionless face.
But he didn't go far before he sighed and walked towards the girl.
He really didn't want to meddle, but... there was someone following behind the injured girl.
The person was a boy, and he seemed to be in a very strange mood.
The girl seemed very afraid of him.
Qin Lian didn't know what was going on, but decided to follow and see what was happening.
Qin Lian quickly caught up and saw the boy excitedly trying to pull the injured girl away.
The boy said, "You have to have a reason for breaking up with me, otherwise I can't accept it."
The girl said, "Let me go, or I'll call for help. You're such an emotionally unstable guy. I just want to break up with you and you hit me. I'm not stupid. I don't want to be with you."
The girls were noticeably bolder than before, because they were now very close to the gate.
She felt that even if her boyfriend was incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her in front of so many people.
Unexpectedly, the boy seemed unable to see anyone else.
He was furious, just like Chao Xiong, and actually reached out to strangle her.
Qin Lian saw this scene from afar and called out.
"What are you doing?"
Upon hearing Qin Lian's words, the boy subconsciously turned around and glanced back.
Upon seeing the approaching person, a very tall boy, he was immediately frightened and let go of his hands.
Seemingly realizing what he had done, the boy shoved the girl next to him and then turned and ran quickly towards the school gate.
At this moment, the guards at the gate also noticed something was wrong, and an older man quickly walked towards the girl.
Upon seeing the girl's head injury and the marks on her neck from being strangled, he immediately started making phone calls.
Qin Lian didn't leave until the school doctor and teachers arrived.
Their school is quite large, and since universities don't regulate dating, similar incidents often occur.
If the victim is a girl, girls are often timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so many will choose to let the matter drop.
If the bullied person is a boy, many boys will not let it go.
Qin Lian had seen it before: a boy who had been dumped displayed a banner at school, accusing his ex-girlfriend of dating a rich man.
Qin Lian thought dating was such a hassle. Even though they were all adults, they acted like they were going to die just because they broke up.
Fortunately, he wasn't in a relationship, otherwise... he probably wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life.
...
After finishing her afternoon classes, Su Wenxing called Qin Lian as soon as she came out.
The two agreed to meet at the South Gate, and Su Wenxing hung up the phone and quickly walked out of the school.
Seeing this, a classmate next to him couldn't help but ask a question.
Were you just on the phone with Qin Lian?
Su Wenxing nodded upon hearing this.
Classmate: "You two have such a good relationship."
Su Wenxing thought that Qin Lian was the school heartthrob, and there must be many people in the school who liked him.
Although Qin Lian is currently his target, he doesn't want to ruin Qin Lian's lifelong happiness because of him.
So when Su Wenxing heard what the other party said, he opened his mouth and explained properly.
Su Wenxing: "It's alright. The main reason is that my parents have a good relationship. Qin Lian is a year older than me, so he has to take care of me a lot."
"Is that so? I've heard from others that you two seem to be dating."
"How...how is this possible? We can't be together."
His classmate couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he said that.
"Okay, then please give this to him for me. No, this isn't a gift from me; it's a gift from a friend of mine."
As the other party spoke, seemingly worried that Su Wenxing wouldn't believe them, they even showed the signature on the item.
The signature wasn't his; the name looks like it belongs to a girl.
Su Wenxing wanted to refuse, even though there was absolutely no possibility between him and Qin Lian, but their current relationship was somewhat ambiguous.
If he were to give Qin Lian something that someone else had given him at this time, he would feel that something was a little strange.
It doesn't seem very fair to the girl either.
Before Su Wenxing could think of a way to refuse, the classmate stuffed the item into his arms.
Holding her belongings, Su Wenxing watched her classmates disappear in a flash, and was suddenly filled with distress.
what to do?
This... he shouldn't accept this!
