Chapter 20: Head-to-Head
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Qi Shaoyou's lips curved into a half-smile, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Is it closely related to Teacher Song?"
She slowly dropped her previous innocent demeanor, her smile becoming even brighter and more dazzling, yet sharp as a drawn blade.
This was the first time 0527 had ever seen her host so arrogant and wicked; she was so impressed by his coolness that her eyes lit up.
[This sense of oppression...this sense of control...] 0527 felt like he was about to crash. [So captivating!]
Shen Mingjiao, who was hiding in the bathroom, was also completely captivated.
She covered her mouth tightly, her face turning even redder.
"Waaah, I shouldn't have talked to Sister Song like that. But she's so cool!" Shen Mingjiao exclaimed softly in the bathroom.
"As the second daughter of the Song Group, Ms. Song is clearly a top student majoring in management, yet she has always worked part-time at this school."
Qi Shaoyou tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his tone lazy yet provocative, "And both part-time jobs seem to be related to Miss Shen."
She never intended to maintain a superficial peace with Song Youbai, and every word she uttered at this moment carried a deliberate audacity.
"Is Teacher Song planning to marry Miss Shen and become a beta who marries into her family?"
"So that's why you didn't show any leniency when refusing to allow the screen to be slack?"
She leaned forward slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Chen Ping, the guy who talks more than he eats every day, hid in his room and cried for three whole days after being rejected by Teacher Song.
Qi Shaoyou was almost convinced that Shen Ping was in real trouble because his usually noisy roommate had suddenly become so quiet.
It wasn't until today, before coming to participate in the proposal, that Shen Ping emerged from her room with swollen eyes, her voice hoarse as she cheered her on.
His appearance almost made Qi Shaoyou think that some alien creature had broken into the dormitory.
In this situation, it would be a miracle if she still gave Song Youbai a friendly look.
If her proposal hadn't been so unusual that no other teacher was willing to serve as the chief referee, she would have found a way to replace this Teacher Song long ago.
Upon hearing that it was because of Shen Ping and Qi Shaoyou that they were targeting him, Song Youbai supported his forehead with his hand on the table.
"She told you that?"
"It wasn't me who rejected Chenping, it was her who rejected me."
Song Youbai sighed, and a question mark appeared above Qi Shaoyou's head.
Shen Mingjiao's ears perked up in the restroom.
"She told me she liked me and wanted to be with me."
“I admit I have feelings for her, but I am currently a part-time teacher at the school.”
"So I asked her to wait a while so I could hand over my work. She must have misunderstood, because she refused me outright."
Qi Shaoyou: I suddenly have a strong urge to kill someone, and the person I'd most like to kill is Shen Ping.
"Sorry, my tone was harsh just now." Qi Shaoyou decided to teach Chen Ping a lesson when he got back.
"It's alright, but I hope you can help me convey my true meaning." Song Youbai smiled helplessly and shook his head.
0527 was originally playing games, but the gossip outside was so attractive that she was forcibly pulled out of the game.
Next, we'll use the proposal and take this opportunity to promote the patrol team.
With both parties cooperating, going through these procedures is quite easy.
Near the end of the conversation, Song Youbai glanced at his phone and asked that question again.
"Does today's proposal have anything to do with Jiaojiao?"
Qi Shaoyou remained silent for a while before looking at Song Youbai and speaking earnestly.
“There is a connection, but not just because of her. That senior student wasn’t the first victim, but I hope she will be the last.”
Her dark blue eyes were full of seriousness, and her words came from the bottom of her heart.
For the first time, Song Youbai felt that Qi Shaoyou might be far superior to him in some aspects.
If it were her, perhaps we could entrust Jiaojiao to her with peace of mind.
Shen Mingjiao, who was eavesdropping in the toilet, felt as if her heart had been struck by something when she heard this answer.
She thought she would be sad when she heard Qi Shaoyou say that it wasn't entirely because of her.
But, but she wasn't sad at all; in fact, she was quite happy.
The person she likes has a more radiant inner self than an outward appearance, making him impossible to look away from.
This realization overshadowed all her previous feelings. Shen Mingjiao's face flushed, and she took small breaths, trying to calm her racing heart.
Qi Shaoyou had no idea what Song Youbai was thinking, nor did she know that there was a surprise waiting for her in the restroom.
After the conversation ended, she headed back to her dorm. She was in a hurry to settle scores with someone!
When Qi Shaoyou returned to the dormitory, he saw that Chen Ping was already sitting on the sofa applying a face mask.
Her eyes were much less swollen than before she went out, so she seemed to be fine.
"You're back! Let's go get some barbecue to celebrate!"
Chen Ping peeled off the face mask and looked at Qi Shaoyou with anticipation.
"Eat barbecue? I think I should turn you into barbecue ingredients!" Qi Shaoyou raised his fist, and Shen Ping, who had just stood up from the sofa, was so frightened that she took two steps back.
"What's wrong? I've been very good these past few days, and I haven't bothered you since you've been busy." Shen Ping racked her brains but still couldn't figure out why she was about to get beaten.
"You were crying like that, I thought Song Youbai had dumped you."
"And when I asked today, it turned out you were the one who left them hanging." Qi Shaoyou felt embarrassed just thinking about that scene!
"She wants me to wait! That must mean she's waiting until she stops loving Shen Mingjiao. How can I stand that!" Shen Ping said confidently, indicating that she was right.
Qi Shaoyou: ...?
"She meant for you to wait until she quits her part-time teaching job." Qi Shaoyou felt like he was about to faint from anger at Shen Ping.
"Huh? Huh!" Shen Ping was surprised. After listening carefully, she understood the real situation.
"Sorry, Sister You, you're the best! I'll treat you to dinner~"
Chen Ping tried to coax Qi Shaoyou, but Qi Shaoyou, disgusted by her appearance, reached out and pushed her forehead away, freezing her in place.
"Three meals a day, not one less." She was really embarrassed because of this guy!
“No problem!” Shen Ping immediately agreed, afraid that Qi Shaoyou would change his mind.
When the two sat down in the private room, Chen Ping still acted obediently. Of course, she quickly removed Song Youbai from her blacklist.
Sometimes, meeting you makes me feel like it shortens my lifespan.
After listening to Qi Shaoyou's words, Chen Ping chuckled and didn't refute them.
She put down her phone and immediately grilled meat for Qi Shaoyou.
"I didn't know things would turn out like this..." Shen Ping put down the tongs, feeling a little embarrassed.
Originally, this barbecue restaurant had someone to help with grilling the meat, but Chen Ping took the initiative to do the job in an attempt to please Qi Shaoyou.
The submissive attitude and cautious demeanor calmed Qi Shaoyou down a bit.
While the two were eating barbecue, Chen Ping asked the waiter for a bottle of wine.
"Don't worry, the prescription is very low." Chen Ping reassured Qi Shaoyou, who thought about it and decided to let it go.
When the wine was served, Qi Shaoyou was quite surprised by its taste.
Ordinary alcoholic beverages are spicy and pungent, and don't taste good.
However, the wine that Chen Ping chose only had a faint fruity flavor. The aroma of the wine was almost undetectable, which surprised Qi Shaoyou.
The grilled meat was also of good quality, with a subtle milky aroma in every bite.
The delicious food lifted Qi Shaoyou's spirits.
Before she knew it, she had drunk a little more.
Chen Ping stared at the three-degree liquor, then at the person whose face was starting to turn slightly red.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she wanted 30-proof liquor to deliberately frame someone, so they'd get drunk on 3-proof liquor...
She didn't know that when she was in elementary school...
If you post this in the villain group chat, even if Qi Shaoyou is the top player, he'll probably still get laughed at...
"I'm going to the restroom." Qi Shaoyou's steps were a little unsteady when he stood up.
Shen Ping hurriedly wanted to go with her, but Qi Shaoyou waved her hand away, a childish dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"I can manage on my own, I'm not drunk!"
As soon as Qi Shaoyou uttered those words, Chen Ping felt even more that things were not going well.
However, the toilet is indeed only two or three steps away...
She wanted to be helped to the toilet now, but Qi Shaoyou would definitely not allow it. Chen Ping could only keep the door of the private room open and watch her go to the toilet.
Fortunately, Qi Shaoyou didn't encounter any unexpected problems when he went to the restroom. Chen Ping then turned around and started chatting sweetly with Song Youbai.
The problem arose on the way back.
When Qi Shaoyou returned to the private room, she heard a commotion.
As a result, her route to the private room began to veer off course.
"You think you're the eldest daughter of the Su family? You're nothing but a tool the Su family uses for political marriages. You're just a commodity the Su family sells!"

Qi Shaoyou: I'm beating up Chen Ping right now, anyone want to join me?! [Angry]
