  The man was wearing a beige windbreaker with a white hoodie underneath. His collar was a little big, revealing his exquisite collarbone, and his sleeves were rolled up.

  His eyes were shining, and there was no expression on his handsome face.

  He looked around, his dark eyes filled with coldness.

  Then, he told Song Fang and the others, “Didn’t you get a taxi to go to the karaoke place?”

  His appearance, voice, clothes, and outfit looked familiar.

  Li Nanli hadn’t run away!

  Li Nanli was actually asking them if they’d gotten a taxi?!

  “Ah, yes. we didn’t get a taxi……”

  This world was really mysterious. Song Fang was nervous immediately. He didn’t understand why Li Nanli, who was such a domineering boss, would come to him and tell him all this instead of giving him advice from the Li Family. He subconsciously said, “I’m not like Lis, who can drive a Maserati with one hand. My family is poor, and I can’t drive a car.”

  Everyone: “.……”

  ‘Every time I borrow a car, I try to drive it myself. It’s so cold, and the windows are fogged up.’

  Li Nanli raised his hand and looked at the time. “How long until the taxi arrives?”

  “Well…… The master said he was going to pick up a delivery nearby, and it might take about twenty minutes.”

  Song Fang answered the question like a primary school student. He was really nervous.

  He was just an ordinary handsome boy who had never thought of climbing up the social ladder.

  He just wanted to marry a good woman, grant his parents’ wishes, and live a dull but exciting life like most men.

  Li Nanli had come to the school to uphold justice for Fu Zhi, who was suspected of cheating, and Song Fang had never seen him anywhere else.

  He didn’t know where Li Nanli’s good impression of him came from.

  However, before he could figure it out, he saw the man make a call. “No. 1 High School, send a few cars to pick someone up.”

  His voice was cold as he gave the school instructions.

  Then, he hung up the phone. “When they come, get in the car.” After he finished talking to Song Fang, he looked at Fu Zhi and said, “I’ll take you.”

  Song Fang: “???”

  ‘Wait a moment, brother.

  ‘You asked me so many things, yet you didn’t invite me into your car when you were done?’

  Fu Zhi tugged on the strap of her schoolbag. Under the astonished gazes of Song Fang and the others, she moved her long legs and took a step forward.

  She looked cool and nimble as she pulled open the door of the passenger seat and sat inside.

  When Song Fang saw this, he subconsciously wanted to follow her into the car.

  However, he was grabbed by the back of his collar by Ye Jiu and said indifferently, “I think you’d better wait here obediently for the car.”

  Song Fang was unhappy. “Why?”

  In that case, he definitely had to advance and retreat with Fu Zhi!

  Ye Jiu pinched the spot between his brows. He was just short of smacking the words ‘you’re not worthy’ on his face.

  In the end, he still did not say anything. He was held back by someone, so he said, “Curiosity killed the cat. Wait obediently for the car with me and we’ll be done.”

  Curiosity killed the cat?

  How could it?

  Ye Jiu meant that he knew something that the others didn’t!

  The group of people looked at each other.

  Song Fang finally looked in the direction of the Maserati.

  Fu Zhi, who was sitting in the car, ate the pink strawberry candy Li Nanli gave her until she was stuffed.

  She then tilted her head and looked up.

  The girl’s almond-shaped eyes were especially good-looking. The frost in her eyes didn’t dissipate, and she inadvertently revealed some doubts. Her pupils were jet-black and bright, as if there were stars hidden in them.

  Li Nanli curled the corners of his lips. “This is the strawberry candy you said you wanted to eat earlier.”

  The jar of strawberry candy had been opened by him in advance.

  Fu Zhi looked down at the sparkling jar in a very good mood.

  Recently, she’d especially liked eating sweets. It was best if the candy was strawberry candy, which had a slightly sour taste.

  Fu Zhi took a piece of strawberry candy out of the box and stuffed it into her mouth.

  Then, noticing that Li Nanli was driving quietly, she took another piece of strawberry candy from the jar and stuffed it into his mouth. “Do you want it?”

  —

  Meanwhile, Song Fang, who had inadvertently seen Fu Zhi in the rearview mirror take something and feed it to Li Nanli’s mouth, felt his hair stand on end.

  The voice of the man who had played games with him that day kept echoing in his mind.

  He didn’t know if it was a preconceived notion, but he suddenly felt that the person who had played games with him that day was Li Nanli.

  However, when he thought of the man’s attitude that night, he felt that something was wrong.

  Li Nanli probably wouldn’t use that voice to flirt with a young girl for no reason. But if the voice that night had been just a coincidence, how could he explain today’s incident?

  Why was Li Nanli with Fu Zhi?

  He was getting more and more confused by what was happening.

  “F * ck! President Li took Sister Zhi away! Is the treatment of good students so prestigious now? Even the president of the school has to personally take her away?”

  “Sister Zhi is at the top. She is definitely not the same as us.”

  “No. 1 High School should be a small business link to President Li. Sister Zhi is at the top of Class 1, but in front of the big Li Family, she is nothing!”

  “So President Li is taking her away. Could this be……”

  “No!” Song Fang interrupted his chattering underlings, feeling afraid that they would say something unpleasant and nip everything in the bud. “This is nothing! At most, President Li should admire Sister Zhi’s results. Don’t say useless things. They are not from the same world, so don’t mention them in the same sentence. It’s just a coincidence that President Li is taking over for Sister Zhi. If I see anyone spreading rumors, I’ll tear their mouth open!”

  Song Fang usually didn’t have a temper, but if he really got angry, he could not always control himself.

  At that moment, upon hearing Song Fang say this, the few people who had originally wanted to gossip looked embarrassed and didn’t say anything.

  After all, they were just curious and they wanted to talk.

  In their hearts, they were actually very aware. What could President Li and Sister Zhi have in common?

  They were unrelated to each other and had only seen each other a few times. How could Mars and Earth be considered close?

  If they said too much, they were afraid that others would think that Fu Zhi was a gold-digger.

  Ye Jiu watched helplessly as this group of people did not answer. He sighed and looked at this group of fools with a complicated expression.

  —

  The car soon arrived at the karaoke lounge Song Fang had reserved.

  When the group got to this commercial street, they ordered some food immediately.

  The students of Class 1 and Class 21, who had been come first, had already entered the private room.

  When Song Fang arrived, only Fu Zhi and Li Nanli were outside the door.

  The group of people walked over to Li Nanli in an imposing manner.

  “President Li, sorry to trouble you to bring us here.” Song Fang was quite afraid of Li Nanli. After all, he’d often heard from his parents what had happened in the capital.

  Li Nanli was so capable that he could hold up the sky with one hand.

  Therefore, as a good student, Song Fang began to speak politely. “We ordered food in the karaoke lounge. Do you want to go in with us to kill some time?”

  Why was he being polite?

  Song Fang felt that Li Nanli was different from them in terms of age, social standing, daily routines, and hobbies.

  Song Fang really couldn’t imagine Li Nanli singing love songs with a microphone.

  He felt that Li Nanli wouldn’t waste his time on them.

  Unexpectedly, Li Nanli curled his lips into a smile and suddenly said in a deep voice, “Then I’ll accept your offer.”

  “Hmm?”

  What?

  ‘He’ll accept my offer?’

  As the group of people sat at the round table and chatted, Song Fang was in a trance.

  He didn’t know how he had managed to get Li Nanli to come in and have fun with everyone, but there was no doubt that Song Fang’s family was rich and he wasn’t stingy. The KTV private rooms he had reserved were particularly large, so even ten Li Nanlis could fit in.

  The lights were flashing as they toasted each other.

  At that moment, a group of young girls from Class 1 and Class 21 were blushing in the private room.

  One would get drunk if one was not careful.

  Many young girls looked shyly at Li Nanli, who was sitting in the main seat.

  Song Fang clicked his tongue.

  He could not help but sigh when he saw how much the young girls liked him because of his good looks and money.

  The beer bottle on the long table was continuously rotated. During the third round, the bottle finally turned in Li Nanli’s direction.

  The atmosphere in the private room froze for a moment.

  Song Fang, who was one of the organizers of the gathering, touched his nose awkwardly.

  Li Nanli curled up on the sofa, his long legs positioned naturally. He leaned over and pressed down on the beer bottle that Song Fang was trying to rotate again. “Truth.”

  “Ah?” Song Fang was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Li Nanli was playing along! He felt like he was holding a smoking gun. Damn it, he had done a good job!

  He immediately said, “Truth? Then draw a card and check what the question is!”

  Song Fang was holding a deck of cards in his hand that included all kinds of tricky and strange questions. It would all depend on the luck of the person who drew a card.

  Li Nanli took a card from Song Fang’s hand.

  The question on the card was clear. “When did you have your first relationship?”

  “Wow!”

  Muffled exclamations were heard one after another.

  The card was in the man’s hand, and countless pairs of eyes were focused on the man.

  Apart from Class 21, a few girls who were in love with him were the most nervous and excited. Song Fang looked at Li Nanli and Fu Zhi, who was sitting next to Li Nanli.

  Both of his eyes were about to pop!

  The atmosphere became even more quiet and solemn.

  No one said anything, so only the love song that was slowly playing on the big screen and stereo in the private KTV room was heard.

  “This year.”

  Song Fang held his breath and then heard the man say, “A few months ago.”

  “Phew……”

  Song Fang let out a sigh of relief.

  If it had happened a few months ago, then his girlfriend should not be Sister Zhi.

  After all, he remembered Sister Zhi being very busy every day at the time, and given Sister Zhi’s personality, she should not be dating material.

  The girls in Class 1 sighed in disappointment.

  Song Fang said, “President Li is a good-looking person. His girlfriend must be just as beautiful and young…… Cough! You guys will definitely be together until you’re 99!”

  “Thank you.” Li Nanli forgave Song Fang for his expression.

  The bottle in his hand started to spin again.

  The bottle spun slowly until it finally stopped in front of Fu Zhi.

  “Truth.”

  “Ah, Sister Zhi, what a coincidence. Come on, draw a card.”

  Fu Zhi took a card from Song Fang’s hands.

  “When did you first have a crush on a boy?”

  “Wow! That’s an awesome question, Sister Zhi!”

  “Oh, oh, oh! Quick, Sister Zhi! Don’t hesitate. Answer this question immediately! When did you start having a secret crush?”

  “F*ck, Sister Zhi, don’t look at me. Don’t tell me you have a secret crush on me? You’re scaring me!”

  “.……”

  Jeers rose and fell around her, sounding very different from when Li Nanli had been asked about being in a relationship.

  Li Nanli rested one hand on his chin and looked at Fu Zhi with a faint smile.

  Fu Zhi: “.……”

  A secret love. A boy……

  What a coincidence. Li Nanli had nothing to do with these two.

  But here was the problem. Each and every one of them was staring at her with eager eyes.

  It was as if they would die of boredom if she said she didn’t have a crush.

  Fu Zhi: “This year.”

  Everyone: “???”

  ‘Your answer was a little vague. It seems like you copied and pasted it.’

  Song Fang asked nervously, “When exactly?”

  “A few months ago.”

  Very good. The secret was out. This sounded exactly like someone else’s love life!

  Some of the students in the private room looked at each other in dismay.

  They had seen with their own eyes Fu Zhi get in Li Nanli’s car.

  It was hard not to overthink something like this.

  “A few months ago? How could it have happened a few months ago? How could things be so serious between you and Li Nanli? You guys couldn’t have……”

  Wang Yu, who seemed both silly and fearless, raised two hands, putting five fingers together. His hands were facing each other as he made kissing sounds. “Smooch, smooch, smooch……”

  “.……”

  The group of people started to gossip again.

  Wang Yu even pushed Fu Zhi toward Li Nanli.

  Song Fang felt that this was not true.

  Previously, someone had slandered Fu Zhi on the internet by saying she was close to the Fu Corporation! If this matter was exposed, wouldn’t it eventually be exposed on the internet?

  “Great, don’t make a fuss about it!” Song Fang looked at Li Nanli and explained. “My underlings are blind. Please don’t mind them.”

  Li Nanli raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the young man, who really didn’t have good eyesight himself. He said perfunctorily, “I won’t.”

  “President Li is so approachable!”

  “It’s mainly because he’s rich, handsome, and so easy to talk to! My legs are going soft!”

  “Soft? He has a girlfriend! Why are your legs going soft?”

  A few girls not far away were chattering in a low voice.

  Song Fang saw that there was no point in twisting the truth anymore. Fu Zhi and Li Nanli were too honest. What other people said was half true and half false. Only their truth was accurate, so the rules changed and everyone had to pick Dare.

  Song Fang held the bottle in his hand and turned it around.

  Finally, it stopped in front of a girl from Class 1.

  The girl was a class committee member. Fu Zhi remembered her and knew her name.

  At that moment, she pulled a big Dare card from Song Fang’s deck with a red face.

  “Choose any member of the opposite sex and kiss them. Otherwise, you will be punished.”

  Wang Yu glanced at the card in the girl’s hand and blushed. “How handsome am I? She won’t choose me, right?”

  “This is……” He sounded narcissistic, but the girl lowered her head and mustered up all her courage. Her face turned even redder. Finally, she raised her head and looked at Li Nanli, who was beside Fu Zhi.

  Everyone could sense her intention.

  The girl encouraged herself in her heart and stood up, ready to walk over to Li Nanli.

  The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise  

  Chapter 608: President Li and Sister Zhi Are Really Together

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  The girl was holding the card in her hand.

  Fine sweat spread along the heat of his palm, and on the back of his hand were faint blue protruding blood vessels.

  Li Nanli’s expression was calm. He supported his chin with one hand, and there was no change on his face.

  However, it was Li Nanli’s unfathomable and distant expression that made the faces of the few girls across from him blush and their hearts beat faster.

  Inside the private room were a lot of people. It was unknown which boy she had chosen. Suddenly, a whistling sound was heard. Then, someone said curiously, “Tsk tsk tsk. Fang Zhou, who are you going to kiss?”

  “Damn, Fatty, are you blind? Her purpose and intentions are very clear. Her eyes are on the back of his head!”

  “Wow… Shouldn’t she confirm whether it’s Li Nanli?!”

  “Is there a need to ask? I have been in the same dormitory with Zhouzhou for a long time. She has never chased after stars, but the only male idol here is Li Nanli! This is simply a dream! It’s a big dream come true!”

  “Is Zhouzhou’s male idol Li Nanli? I thought Zhouzhou only cared about studying…”

  “Thank you, karaoke. Thank you, Yu City. Thank you, Young Master Song Fang, for making Zhouzhou’s dream a reality!”

  “But doesn’t Li Nanli have a girlfriend?” Wang Yu, who was sitting at the table, muttered.

  Fatty pulled Wang Yu’s sleeve. “It’s not a French kiss. This kiss is nothing. Li Nanli is different from us. He is tall and built and he is in this position at such a young age. We agreed to play the game, and he’s willing to admit defeat. Do you think he’s a person who wouldn’t keep his word?”

  In the noisy room, the atmosphere was tense, and everyone was boisterous. It was probably because Li Nanli was too cooperative and had not been pretentious during the previous round. The people present were no longer as reserved as they had been at the beginning and they only cared about taunting others.

  The noise drowned out Wang Yu’s last sentence.

  Fang Zhou clenched his palms. His face was as red as a cooked shrimp shell, and even his gaze was a little erratic.

  He had the bashful look of a little girl.

  Li Nanli noticed and looked at Fu Zhi.

  The girl touched the red strawberry candy jar on her legs and didn’t say anything.

  In the dim room, her expression wasn’t very clear, so no one could tell what she was thinking.

  The girl walked to stand in front of Li Nanli.

  At the end of the day, as countless pairs of expectant eyes watched, she was still unwilling to take the next step.

  She looked hesitant.

  “Zhouzhou, don’t be a coward! If you miss this chance, you won’t get another!” someone reminded her in a low voice.

  Then, some boys started to jeer.

  “Exactly. Li Nanli didn’t say no. How can you be so shy, Zhouzhou?”

  “Kiss him! Kiss him!”

  “It’s a simple game. Zhouzhou, do you think you can’t play anymore?”

  The boys did not mind the drama.

  Their encouragement finally increased the girl’s confidence. She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and looked up at Li Nanli.

  Li Nanli ignored her and played with the lighter in his hand, lighting a cigarette.

  It was as if he could not hear the noise around him at all. He was just sitting there calmly, the smoke blurring his silhouette. His expression was indifferent, and there was not even the slightest change on his face. It was as if he did not care about what the girl was going to do next.

  However, only he knew that his mind was actually filled with images of villains fighting.

  He even automatically pictured a miserable figure holding a bouquet of roses. At the same time, the thought of Fu Zhi stopping him was born, and he began to tear apart the imaginary rose petals in his hand. She would… She wouldn’t…

  She would, she wouldn’t, she would, she wouldn’t.

  The roses were almost completely gone.

  Fu Zhi hadn’t stepped forward to declare her sovereignty yet, but the girl was already well-prepared, and her heart was beating like the heart of a patient.

  Fu Zhi noticed that she seemed to be bending over, and a hint of frustration flashed through her heart. Just as she was about to speak, the man sitting on the sofa flicked the cigarette butt in his hand.

  The scarlet light flickered in the dim room before it was mercilessly extinguished.

  The man’s eyes did not move. With one hand on his chin, he said, “I’m not playing anymore.”

  His tone was extremely cold. Even though he had just said two words, they instantly pierced the girl’s fragile heart.

  ‘He’s not playing anymore. Why is he not playing? Is it because I wanted to kiss him? Is that why he’s not playing?’

  Grief and embarrassment instantly surfaced in her heart. This was unreasonable. They were playing a game after all. Li Nanli had clearly joined the game, but just as she had been about to kiss him, he had withdrawn decisively.

  The girl’s eyes instantly turned red.

  Girls were thin-skinned. Although she had known that she would be embarrassed in public before doing this, deep down, she had more or less fantasized about becoming special in the heart of the male god that she liked.

  Now, the fantasy in her heart was shattered, showing that she was actually no different from others. In fact, she was even more embarrassed than everyone else.

  The atmosphere was heavy, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.

  Even though their fazes did not carry any malice and were just awkward, she felt like they were mocking her.

  She could not stay any longer. She turned around, took a few steps quickly, opened the door of the private room, and rushed out.

  “Zhouzhou, wait for us!”

  The girls in the room felt sorry for her and looked in Li Nanli’s direction. When they saw that the man’s eyes were cold and emotionless, their hearts sank. They sighed silently, retracted their gazes, and chased after her.

  The door of the private room was pushed open and closed repeatedly. Four girls walked out at once, and the atmosphere instantly became cold.

  “Um…” Song Fang, who was in charge of the group, wanted the Earth to open up and swallow him in the face of this situation.

  He noticed that Li Nanli’s gaze was on Fu Zhi, and no emotions were visible in his eyes.

  However, he seemed a little offended and annoyed, like a large dog that urgently needed to be appeased.

  Meanwhile, Fu Zhi’s gaze fell on the candy in her arms. She frowned as though she was thinking about something important.

  Song Fang was thinking about an emergency plan in his mind, but only a few words floated out of his little brain.

  ‘Life and death mean nothing to him. If he doesn’t like something, he won’t do it.’

  He didn’t think about anything else. He just waved his hand. “President Li, don’t mind her. She only wanted to kiss you because she drank too much… Ahem… I mean, you’re her Prince Charming, but you’re older than her. Maybe she sees you as her father and wanted a father’s kiss…”

  Wang Yu pulled Song Fang’s sleeve, hinting that if he couldn’t speak properly, he could donate his mouth to a mute person who needed it.

  As expected, the gaze that fell on Fu Zhi was like a cold arrow aimed at her.

  The man’s aura and expression were simply crushing.

  Song Fang: “…”

  If gazes could kill, Song Fang felt that he would’ve died 10,000 times!

  Wang Yu helped him smooth things over. “She’s just a little girl. President Li, please don’t mind her. She didn’t mean anything by it. She was just infatuated for a moment. I wish you and sister-in-law 100 years of marriage!”

  Everyone: “…”

  They didn’t know why, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded like he was forcing President Li to marry someone.

  However, Wang Yu was aware of the crux of the problem.

  Li Nanli, who loved to nag others about how good Fu Zhi was to him, also liked it when others wished him a long time with her.

  Li Nanli felt that he should add Wang Yu on WeChat.

  The employees in his company had been slacking off recently. There were very few comments about President Li and Mrs. Li’s love on his WeChat moments, such as ‘President Li and Mrs. Li will be together for 100 years’, ‘Mrs. Li only loves President Li’, and so on.

  However, upon remembering that Fu Zhi had not stepped forward to declare her sovereignty, Li Nanli could not help but feel that she did not love him anymore. Did she love him?

  When a girlfriend was not jealous and did not beat up a third party, was it because she did not love her boyfriend deeply enough and she did not experience jealousy?

  Forget it. In his opinion, any man who made a woman feel jealous was a dog.

  But…

  Li Nanli sighed.

  His sadness was so obvious. Why hadn’t she coaxed him?

  Fu Zhi had indeed noticed Li Nanli’s sadness, but she was still wondering what the flash of despair in her heart meant.

  Before she could think of a definite answer to this question, she actually felt very upset.

  She had always been someone who wanted a clear answer to every question. However, when it came to Li Nanli, she was obviously much more careless. Upon seeing that Song Fang and the others were like quails with lowered heads, all of them thinking of ways to coax this great Buddha, she asked him, “What’s wrong with you?”

  Was it too late to ask now?

  Li Nanli was expressionless. “I’m fine.”

  “Oh.” Fu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

  After a pause, she added a few words that she thought were very heartwarming. “I’m relieved to hear that you’re fine.”

  Li Nanli: “???”

  Everyone else noticed the situation. “???”

  ‘Sister Zhi, do you think that he’s really fine? Don’t you feel that President Li wants a girlfriend who would throw a tantrum? The more he says that he’s fine, the more upset he is!’

  Wait!

  A girlfriend who would throw a tantrum?

  Why did they suddenly feel that President Li would like a girlfriend who would throw a tantrum when he was with Sister Zhi?

  Shouldn’t this kind of situation be handled more smoothly by couples?

  “Ah, I understand. No wonder I thought that President Li and Sister Zhi were a good match at the beginning. Now I know that President Li and Sister Zhi are a really good match. Sister Zhi is not afraid of President Li at all and dares to mess with him! President Li also likes to talk to Sister Zhi. I like watching them talk!”

  “Sister Zhi is so silly. Can’t she see that President Li is suffering?”

  “Sister Zhi only has an IQ, not an EQ. She’s too much like a straight man. She doesn’t have much of an EQ!”

  “Her tone is exactly the same as my first love’s, who was a little boy. I am so moved and grateful!”

  “Fortunately, these two people are not related. They are not boyfriend and girlfriend. Otherwise, they would definitely be happy till death did them part!”

  “…”

  The students next to him were chattering. Song Fang felt that sister Zhi and President Li were acting strange…… He picked up the card that had fallen on the ground, held his beer bottle, and shook it. “What are you chattering about? Since President Li isn’t playing, let’s continue! If we don’t let Wang Yu run, no one else will leave today!”


  The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise  

  Chapter 609: President Li and Sister Zhi Are Really Together- Part 2

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  Song Fang was actually busy.

  He had been studying and taking test papers in school every day for more than half a month. In addition, Grade 11 and Grade 12 were different.

  Although the winter break would start when the final exams were over, the school had already issued the relevant documents due to the upcoming college entrance exam, so the winter break this year would be postponed by half a month.

  In other words, when the Grade-11 and Grade-12 exams were over next week, they would still have to study hard in school!

  Fu Zhi’s study plan for them continued all the way until the college entrance exam.

  That extra half a month of life was simply unimaginable!

  It had not been easy for them to even go to the karaoke lounge to sing and play games. Of course, they did not want to leave because of such a small matter.

  Li Nanli did not want to play, though. He was afraid that his reputation would be ruined.

  Song Fang had to pay attention to many things. ‘If you want to ruin me, then ruin me. Anyway, I was messing with you.’

  Song Fang turned the beer bottle in a super cool way.

  The beer bottle rubbed against the glass table, making a crisp sound.

  Ding, dong… The sound was like a spinning top, and the bottle moved fast and then slow.

  It spun and spun until it finally came to a stop.

  Song Fang raised his head and looked in the direction of the bottle.

  He saw Fu Zhi sitting on the sofa, fiddling with the candy jar.

  “What a coincidence, Sister Zhi. Come on, come on, draw a card.”

  —

  Meanwhile, in the bathroom, the faucet was turned on, and the sound of running water could be heard continuously, covering up the girl’s sobs.

  The four girls around the sink had worried expressions on their faces.

  No. 1 High School’s dormitory was a big dormitory with six people per room.

  Su Xing was in the girl’s dormitory, but the school strictly controlled the students’ rest time at night. Su Xing had packed her things and dawdled. She hadn’t stayed there for two days before classes had started in the first year of high school.

  Now, the five young girls in the dormitory were very close to each other.

  At that moment, as the girls in the same dormitory were crying miserably, they couldn’t help feeling sorry for each other.

  “President Li has gone too far!” The first one to speak was the small firecracker of the dormitory, An Shui, who said with a chivalrous look, “Zhouzhou, don’t cry. I’ll go find him and argue with him! So what if he has money? Does that mean he can do whatever he wants and violate the rules of the game? Others are afraid of him, but I’m not!”

  Why would he not play? Why would he not cooperate? Why would a successful person from a rich family make a girl feel so embarrassed?

  “Enough, Shuishui.” The scene was already chaotic enough. Seeing that Shuishui was still trying to make a fuss, the mother of their friend group stopped her with one hand. “Don’t talk nonsense! President Li already has a girlfriend. If she had really kissed him, it wouldn’t have looked good. Besides, according to this game, if you want to kiss someone, you must get permission. Don’t fan the flames!”

  “Who’s fanning the flames? I’m just trying to fight for Zhouzhou!” An Shui stuck her neck out and tried to reason with her. She was so embarrassed that her face was red. “If you can’t afford to play, then don’t play! Why did he have to act so noble? Didn’t he know that by refusing at such a time, he would clearly be giving a girl a hard time?

  “So what if he has a little money in his hands? Zhouzhou likes him so much, yet he treated her awfully in front of everyone. He didn’t give her a way out. He’s simply a scumbag! Zhouzhou is really blind!”

  An Shui was blindly protecting her best friend.

  Her words were particularly unreasonable, which made the other three girls in the dormitory feel uncomfortable. They all frowned.

  Zhouzhou was so sad that she didn’t speak. She only cried.

  An Shui said, “Everyone in the world has betrayed you, but I won’t.” She hooked her arm around Zhouzhou’s. “Don’t cry, Zhouzhou! If you ask me, Li Nanli’s girlfriend might not even be as good-looking as you! Big families like theirs are all connected by marriage. They don’t like or dislike each other. They are very hypocritical! Don’t feel ashamed. You didn’t lose him to another woman. You just lost him to money! Is it your fault your parents are incompetent?”

  Everyone: “…”

  ‘So are you trying to persuade her not to cry or give up on her parents and reincarnate?’

  The other three girls in the dormitory looked at each other and saw deep helplessness in each other’s eyes.

  In the end, Zhong Cui couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Zhouzhou, don’t feel bad, really. It doesn’t matter that you wanted to kiss President Li today and he didn’t agree. Even if Sister Zhi wanted to kiss him, he would still have said no!”

  “Yes, Zhouzhou! I thought about it afterward. No matter what, President Li has a girlfriend. It really would not be good for you if you did this…”

  “But Zhouzhou, you should be more open-minded. Don’t cry. Cui Cui is right. President Li could even reject Sister Zhi, let alone us. We are far worse than the Goddess!”

  Most people did this. They liked to compare themselves to others.

  They even liked others to set them off.

  Zhong Cui and the others obviously couldn’t empathize with the crying girl, so they could only pull Fu Zhi down. They praised the girl’s status and diverted her attention so that she wouldn’t feel so bad.

  As expected, when she heard these words, the girl’s cries became softer.

  She took a tissue and wiped her tears carefully. “Don’t say that. Sister Zhi, Sister Zhi… How could she stoop to the same level as me?”

  Although she said that, she felt that she was really despicable. She actually agreed with the words of her roommates.

  Fu Zhi was outstanding, but she still couldn’t get Li Nanli. As for her, she had never been good enough. She still had to rely on Fu Zhi for her studies.

  But now, neither she nor Fu Zhi could get Li Nanli. Even if Fu Zhi wanted to kiss Li Nanli, she would be rejected. Suddenly, she had a feeling that because of Li Nanli, she could be on the same level as Fu Zhi in this aspect.

  “How come Fu Zhi isn’t in the same state?” said An Shui, who was small-chested and brainless. “They’re both the same. No matter how good Fu Zhi is, Li Nanli only likes his girlfriend, not her. What can he do? Anyway, don’t even think about it. You’re just as miserable as Fu Zhi! Fu Zhi is fine, so why are you crying?”

  The other roommates: “…”

  They were just using an analogy. Wasn’t Fu Zhi fine because she was aware of her status and didn’t want to get close to President Li?

  However, Fang Zhou and An Shui couldn’t listen to these words anymore.

  One of them had been hurt by love and had tried to ease it through other means, while the other was just a fool who had stood up at the most critical moment.

  Zhong Cui didn’t want to talk about the two of them anymore, so she reminded her, “Okay, wipe your tears and go back to the private room. Apologize to President Li and Sister Zhi. I’m just using an analogy to comfort you. Don’t take these words seriously just because of a man. If you think Sister Zhi isn’t good enough for him, then you’re wrong!”

  “I don’t think so,” Fang Zhou stammered.

  She was a little unconvinced.

  It wasn’t like she didn’t like Sister Zhi. She was just stating facts.

  An Shui was right. President Li’s girlfriend was definitely a political match. No matter how good Sister Zhi was, she wasn’t President Li’s girlfriend. President Li had rejected her, so it was clear that he was very loyal to his girlfriend.

  Since he was so loyal, he would definitely reject Sister Zhi.

  This was clearly a fact. She didn’t mean to belittle Sister Zhi.

  —

  At the same time, in the private room…

  “F * ck!” When he saw the card in Fu Zhi’s hand, Song Fang was stunned. He snatched the card from her hand and mumbled, “Kiss any member of the opposite sex for three minutes, or you’ll be punished with three cups… My God, you’re luckier than that unlucky girl…”

  Fu Zhi: “…”

  Li Nanli had his head lowered and was thinking about ways to handle his discomfort around Fu Zhi next time. When he heard this, he frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Fu Zhi.

  Fu Zhi’s expression was a little unnatural. She was holding the pink candy jar in her hand and sitting on the sofa, showing no intention of getting up.

  Song Fang held Fu Zhi’s card and thought this was a little tricky.

  Kissing… Oh no, passionate kissing was unlikely.

  As for drinking, he had never seen Sister Zhi drink!

  Everyone waited for a while, and when they saw that Fu Zhi was not about to step forward, someone shouted, “Sister Zhi, Sister Zhi! It’s your turn to take a risk!”

  “That’s right, Sister Zhi. Hurry up. It’s just a passionate kiss! Compared to Fatty going out and shouting that he’s an idiot, this is a piece of cake.”

  “Sister Zhi, it doesn’t matter if it’s a hot kiss or not. Just tell us who you want to kiss the most! Satisfy our curiosity!”

  “F*ck off! Did you set the rules? I just want to see Sister Zhi choose someone to kiss. Sister Zhi! Sister Zhi! Sister Zhi!!!”

  “…”

  At 17 years old, they were at the age when some ambiguous feelings sprouted and were strangled in the cradle by their parents and teachers.

  As if she couldn’t hear everyone urging her, Fu Zhi continued to sit next to Li Nan without moving and didn’t respond.

  Song Fang thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed a little difficult for fickle-minded Fu Zhi, so he decided to go all out. He stood up with the card and said, “How about this… I’ll take a big risk for Sister Zhi!”

  “You didn’t pick this. Why would you take a big risk?”

  “How about you and Sister Zhi kiss? I think a kiss would not be bad.”

  “What? Do I need to be a strong woman like Sister Zhi to get kissed?”

  “Sister Zhi, say something! Do you want to personally choose someone to satisfy our curiosity?”

  “Sister Zhi?”

  As everyone jeered, many gazes fell on Fu Zhi.

  Fu Zhi held the candy jar and frowned slightly.

  Su Xing, who was sitting next to her, noticed Fu Zhi’s emotions and couldn’t help but say, “There are only a few members of the opposite sex in the room. Who are you guys going to have Fu Zhi choose? You, Wang Yu? You, Fatty? Or you, Song Fang? You, you, you, you, or you guys?”

  Su Xing’s index finger circled the room. As she moved, the group of boys from Class 1 subconsciously avoided Fu Zhi’s finger.

  Was Fu Zhi good-looking?

  Undoubtedly so.

  Did they like Fu Zhi?

  There was no doubt that they did.

  But if you asked them if they dared or were willing to kiss Fu Zhi passionately…

  Then, they would be embarrassed.

  The impression Fu Zhi had left on them was too big, and they probably wouldn’t be able to erase it for the rest of their lives.

  “No kissing, no kissing!”

  “Don’t point at me! F*ck! I treat Fu Zhi like my biological father! I won’t mess things up! This goes against public order and traditional customs! I’ll go to jail!”

  “I’m in an even worse position. I have a girlfriend. She’s the class monitor of Class 16 in our school. She’s in a long-distance relationship that spans five classes. It’s a love race that’s lasted three years. I can’t cheat on her!”

  “Ah, I see that Sister Zhi’s legs are weak… I can’t kiss her, but you…”

  “Me? Do you think I’m worthy of sharing a passionate kiss with Sister Zhi?”

  “…”

  When the boys present heard that they were going to have a passionate kiss with Fu Zhi, it was as if they had met the plague god.

  It wasn’t that they were unwilling, but they didn’t dare do it!

  When a girl was superior to a boy by several levels, they didn’t even think she was worthy of their affection. That was just wishful thinking.

  Li Nanli looked at Fu Zhi, who was crazily rejected by a group of men. His eyebrows moved slightly, and there was a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.

  Song Fang thought, ‘Why won’t she give me a kiss? We are practically relatives. Shall I just treat it like a trip to a summer house abroad?’

  Song Fang kept psychoanalyzing them and thinking of ways to be the one to receive Sister Zhi’s passionate kiss.

  The boys present basically wanted to coax Sister Zhi to see if she was interested in any boys in their class. It would be best if this boy was Song Fang.

  After all, they used to be Song Fang’s underlings, and Song Fang was especially concerned about Fu Zhi.

  They were trying to set the two of them up during today’s big night out.

  “Sister Zhi, it’s a simple game. Why don’t you randomly pick Brother Fang?”

  “Yeah, Sister Zhi. I couldn’t bear for you to be punished by drinking!”

  “Sister Zhi, perhaps the card you drew was chosen by fate.”

  Song Fang: “???”

  Had his actions caused these stupid people to misunderstand?

  Li Nanli listened to the encouragement and reminders around him. His expression was still distant and cold. He seemed to be very calm as he waited for Fu Zhi to make a choice.

  Fu Zhi thought for a moment, stood up, and walked step by step toward Song Fang.

  In an instant, Li Nanli clenched the lighter in his hand.

  Everyone’s breathing quieted down.

  Song Fang finally understood that someone was shouting when his legs went weak, especially as Fu Zhi got closer and closer.

  When he thought of the kiss that was going to happen next, he wanted to kneel!

  Sister Zhi couldn’t be serious, right?

  If someone came, how could he not be embarrassed and politely reject the kiss?

  The thoughts in his mind spun back and forth. There was half a meter between the two of them. Song Fang planned to kneel on the ground and say that he was infertile and thus not worthy of this kiss, but Fu Zhi suddenly bent down.

  She raised her hand and directly picked up the wine glass on the table. “I’m sorry, but no one wants a kiss. I’ll punish myself by drinking three glasses.”

  The private karaoke room was filled with specially-made spirits, which were very expensive.

  Even the wine was blue and glowing under the light.

  The mouth of the glass touched her lips, and she drank it immediately.

  A hand suddenly grabbed the girl’s slender wrist, and the wine glass was thrown back on the table.

  “Is there really no one who wants to kiss in this private room?”

  Fu Zhi looked up…… Before she could say anything, the words in her throat were swallowed by a fierce pair of lips.
