30. Succubus
8 PM, A University girls' dormitory.
"Anyway, they originally wanted to physically assault and humiliate me, but they were probably under the influence of drugs. After I provoked them a few times, they started fighting amongst themselves, and then I took the opportunity to escape."
After returning, Ke Qi embellished the story of how she was bullied by Qiao Qing and others a little before recounting it to Yu Sheng.
"And then?" the two asked again.
And then~
Ke Qi, without blushing or skipping a beat, said half truthfully and half fabricatedly: "Then Gu Zhao happened to be drinking with his friends there at the time. When he found out that I was being bullied, he first called the police, and then went back and reported Qiao Qing and the others to the principal that very night."
"And then you all know what happened next."
The atmosphere was silent.
"Like this~"
After a long while, Yu Sheng and Chen Youting exclaimed in unison, "So dramatic!"
"But it's good that you're not hurt."
Yu Sheng frowned: "Qiao Qing is really crazy. She dares to do something like this. She's not only ignorant of the law, but she's also a social scum!"
"yes."
Chen Youting chimed in: "Qiao Qing is indeed a piece of trash, but..."
She looked at Ke Qi with a serious expression: "Qi Qi, you should also reflect on yourself."
"I told you long ago, a ingrate like Qiao Qing can't be tamed."
"Excessive kindness and generosity are foolish!"
"This time we were lucky, but what about next time?"
She leaned closer and gently poked Keqi's forehead. "You must learn to say no and stay away from petty people from now on, understand?"
Gu Zhao had already said something similar to her.
Ke Qi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her attitude of reflection positive: "Yes, yes, I'll remember, I'll remember!"
"Just remember that."
The conversation should have ended there, but Chen Youting suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh, right, I have another question."
"Tell me, how did Gu Zhao report this to our principal? How could they be so efficient?"
"yes!"
Yu Sheng complained: "You know, the food in the No. 4 canteen is so bad, so many people have complained about it for a long time, but they just pretend to be dead and haven't made any changes."
She said with a mischievous expression, "Do you think Gu Zhao is really the heir of that richest family, Gu, as the rumors say?"
Keqi: ...
Congratulations, you got it right.
But on the surface, she showed no emotion as she said, "How could that be?"
She made up a story: "It just so happens that Gu Zhao's family is related to our principal, so we used a little bit of connections."
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Zhao has always kept a low profile, and apart from his close brothers, almost no one knows his true family background.
Those who know about it generally keep quiet about it.
Ke Qi, of course, wouldn't be so tactless as to leak his information.
Fortunately, Yu Sheng wasn't one to pry into things and wasn't interested in the so-called family relationships, so she didn't ask any further questions.
So, in no time, the unlucky topic about Qiao Qing was completely over, and the conversation returned to the usual topics in dormitory 606.
For example, things related to attending classes.
"Your performance in swimming class next week will be counted towards your participation grade."
Chen You asked, "Qiqi, how's your swimming practice going?"
Ke Qi was stumped by the question.
The final exam for university physical education courses assesses specific skills, such as aerobics, martial arts, swimming, and other ball sports skills.
When Ke Qi was registering for classes, she had a fever and, in a moment of confusion, accidentally registered for swimming instead of aerobics.
Unfortunately, she was a complete landlubber and had absolutely no swimming skills.
In addition, she is usually busy and missed several physical education classes, so she hasn't learned much yet.
She then said with a gloomy face, "It's not good at all!"
"ah?"
Chen Youting pressed further, "What kind of bad?"
Ke Qi: "You need a lifebuoy to go into the water, otherwise you'll drown."
Chen Youting: ...
"cough."
She held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help but laugh and say, "It's okay, it's okay. I have a physical test this week, and swimming lessons don't start until next week. There's still time to practice."
"We don't have classes tomorrow afternoon and evening, so I'll go to the swimming pool with you to practice?"
Ke Qi was extremely grateful: "Yay, thank you, Youting!"
"It's nothing."
So, the following afternoon.
Inside the swimming pool.
While everyone else was swimming freely in the water like fish, the figure clinging desperately to the little yellow duck life ring at the corner of the pool stood out.
"Qiqi, let go! If you don't give up the lifebuoy, you'll never learn to swim!" Chen Youting on the shore was extremely worried.
"don't want!"
Ke Qi, with a gloomy face, said timidly, "You Ting, I want to practice with a lifebuoy first. Don't worry, I promise I won't become dependent on it..."
"Can't!"
"What's the difference between this and not learning anything at all?"
Chen Youting was at her wits' end and coaxed her, "Be good, let go quickly, I'll protect you right here, what are you afraid of?"
"Quickly throw away the life ring you're holding and learn to swim like I just taught you. If you do well, I'll have my mom make you her homemade crab roe soup dumplings next time."
The crab roe soup dumplings made by Mrs. Chen are absolutely delicious.
Ke Qi was lucky enough to try it once, and ever since then she has been craving that taste. Every now and then, she would shamelessly follow Chen Youting home to eat soup dumplings.
But because those soup dumplings are a bit difficult to make, Mrs. Chen hasn't made them for a long time.
The fact that she suddenly made such a condition was a huge temptation for Ke Qi, comparable to kissing Gu Zhao.
She hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately succumbed to her cravings.
"Oh well."
After saying that, she took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and let go of the lifebuoy.
Then the next second.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Her body sank instantly, and water rushed into her nose and mouth.
Seeing this, Chen Youting shouted, "Qiqi, relax your body, straighten out, and move your legs, just like I taught you, quick!"
Upon hearing this, Ke Qi regained some composure and began to practice according to her method.
The first few seconds weren't very smooth, but gradually, she figured it out, her body stopped sinking, and she was able to maintain her float and balance.
"Great!"
Chen Youting clapped her hands as she watched her body successfully float up: "Go, Qiqi! Try swimming over there again, you can do it!"
With her encouragement and praise, Keqi gained a little confidence and did as she was told.
So, fifteen minutes later, Keqi finally got the hang of it.
Chen Youting was finally satisfied. "Not bad, not bad, you're teachable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the urge to urinate that she had been holding in for so long surged up again, so she stopped holding it in: "Qiqi, I'm going to the toilet. You practice on your own first. I'll be right back."
But by then, Keqi had already swum to the farthest part of the opposite side where there were many people, and the noise made it impossible to hear what she was saying.
Seeing this, Chen Youting stopped calling her and, seeing that she was in good condition, jogged to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, less than a minute after she left, an accident happened to Ke Qi.
She got a leg cramp!
Ke Qi cried out in alarm as she suddenly lost her balance. Before she could even call for help, she sank to the bottom.
But because she had just swum to the least crowded corner of the area, no one noticed that she was drowning.
Ke Qi choked and her vision blurred, but her cramped leg was completely immobile, leaving her helplessly sinking further and further down.
It’s over!
Is she going to die here today?
Just when she was in despair, God must have heard her cries.
And then, the next second...
"Splash!"
A strong arm wrapped around her waist and instantly brought her to the surface of the water.
Are you alright?
A deep male voice came through.
"Cough cough cough!"
Ke Qi coughed violently for a while before finally looking at her savior. "I'm fine, thank you..."
Before she could finish saying thank you, Ke Qi looked at the man in front of her, her pupils suddenly shrinking, "You!"
"I?"
The man tossed his long, gradient blue hair, brought his two heads with large blue horns closer, and smiled at her, "What's wrong with me, sister of the same kind?"
As he spoke, time and space seemed to stand still, and all the noisy crowd floated motionless on the water like statues.
Keqi stared blankly at the man in front of her, then exclaimed excitedly, "A succubus!"
