Chapter 1 Prologue

  Qian Shi Nu didn't even wait for Cui Xi Hong to respond, and she quickly ran far away, because the matter she wanted to confirm now was really important.

  Choi Se-hyun watched as Cheon Si-no ran off into the distance, his eyes filled with an unspoken sorrow. He thought to himself: As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. I hope this innocence and kindness won't bring you harm. Choi Se-hyun had concerns, but he still turned around and left.

  Senori was running as fast as the wind, cleverly choosing a route that would take her to the library the fastest. However, halfway through, she suddenly slammed on the brakes. "Ah no, it's already evening, Feng Jinxin won't be at the library anymore." Senori realized her foolish and reckless behavior just in time, otherwise, she would have run even more unnecessary routes.

  "Hey, Sweeper Star." Qian Shi dialed Feng Jie Xun's number.

  Feng Jie looked at his phone and smiled, his white teeth flashing in and out of view. This was the first time Qian Shi had ever called him on her own initiative.

  "Hmm, Chisato, what's the occasion for calling me out of the blue today?" Fūgōin Anesaki asked with excitement, her tone smooth and playful.

  "Of course there is something."

  "What's up?"

  "Did you check the surveillance at the library today?"

  "It's been adjusted." Feng Jie Xun said calmly.

  "Has anything been found?" Qian Shi Nuo asked somewhat anxiously.

  "No, because that place hasn't been visited for a long time, the surveillance equipment doesn't know when it's broken and hasn't been repaired yet. But don't worry, I've already asked Uncle Hua to help me investigate, and I'll notify you as soon as there's any news."

  "Ah? Never mind, don't look anymore." Qian Shi Nu heard that Feng Jie Chen didn't see anything and let out a sigh of relief, hastily stopping him from continuing the search.

  "Why not use it?"

  "After thinking about it later, I realized that this matter didn't cause me much harm, so forget it, don't bother yourself with it."

  "No way!" Feng Jiechen refused very decisively.

  "Hey! I've already said not to investigate, but you really have nothing better to do, idle to the point of being a great detective, truly overestimating oneself." Qian Shi Nu was somewhat angry at Feng Jie Xun's sluggishness.

  Her eyes changed, and this girl actually said I was empty, saying that I was overestimating myself. With so much tension and worry, who was it all for? A wave of resentment surged up from the bottom of my heart.

  "You really don't need me to check?"

  "Right!"

  "I don't have to investigate, but I have a request, from tomorrow on, eat with me."

  "Hmm, let me think about it while I eat." Qian Shi Nuo didn't expect Feng Jie Xun to be so despicable and still dare to set conditions.

  "Never mind, continue searching." Feng Jie Xun once again urged the law enforcement officers.

  "Good good good, eat eat eat." Qianshi Nuoyue compromised.

  Feng Jie heard Qian Shi's agreement to have dinner with him, his expression changed to joy, "Why didn't you agree earlier?" He was already gloating in his heart.

  On the contrary, Qian Shi Nuo was almost blown to death by Feng Juan Xun's aura, and might be treated as a cow or horse for the rest of his life. Qian Shi Nuo was unwilling, but being unwilling was useless.

  Hung up the phone, Feng Jie Xun dialed another number again.

  "Hey, young master, what can I do for you?"

  "Uncle Hua, let's put off what I asked you to investigate today for now."

  "Okay."

  Feng Jixun actually felt something was off about Qian Shi Nuo, but after an entire afternoon passed, she didn't want to continue investigating and even sounded a bit afraid that she might find out something. Had something happened or did she know something? However, since Qian Shi Nuo had already agreed to have dinner with her, she decided to keep the promise and not investigate for now, so Feng Jixun secretly pondered in her heart.

  Back in the dormitory, Qian Shi Nu saw that Yi Meng Yu had returned and was calmly applying a face mask. Qian Shi Nu was also used to this indispensable part of Yi Meng Yu's daily routine. Every night, no matter how busy she was, Yi Meng Yu would not forget to take care of her delicate skin - removing makeup, applying face masks, and moisturizing, she wouldn't skip any of these steps. In comparison, Qian Shi Nu was truly a 'man' through and through.

  She went into the bathroom to take a bath by herself, without saying a word. Qian Shi knew that even if she said something, Yi Mengyu wouldn't respond with a single word. The atmosphere in dormitory 106 had been chilly for almost a week now.

  Waiting for her to come out of the bathroom, Yimengyu was already on the bed, playing with her phone. Qianshino casually grabbed a book and also got on the bed. Although she said she was reading, Qianshino couldn't concentrate at all. Her mind was filled with the words she had overheard behind the tree. Qianshino peeked through the pages of the book, glancing at Yimengyu across from her, whose expression was very calm and natural.

  Qian Shi thought to herself: If I don't talk to Meng Yu tonight, wanting to fall asleep will be a pipe dream. This is simply self-torture, so it's essential to clear things up now.

  "Meng Yu, do you dislike me?" Qian Shi Nuo mustered up the courage to ask, although she was just trying her luck and didn't dare guarantee that her words would get a response, but it's always worth a try.

  Yi Mengyu put down the phone in her hand, looking at Qian Shi'no with a cold gaze. Her eyes showed no warmth, as if she saw Qian Shi'no as a rival in love. She said stiffly, "Yes."

  "Why?"

  "I don't have the energy to deal with you."

  "Meng Yu, you haven't responded to me for days. Do you know how I feel? You have to give me a reason!"

  "Qian Shi Nu, are you really stupid or just pretending to be? I've told you that I like Feng Jie Xun, and I also asked if you liked him, but what about you? You said you didn't like him, fine! So I went to confess my feelings, and when I failed, where were you? You were actually hugging Feng Jie Xun by the Qi Yu Chi!" Yi Meng Yu spoke non-stop, as if she had poured out all the bitter water in her stomach.

  "Meng Yu, I'm telling you, I don't like Feng Jixun. I didn't lie to you, that time when you confessed and failed, I didn't accompany you because I suddenly received... a phone call, asking me to rush to Qiu Yuchi's place to help with the dance party tonight. And that hug, it wasn't what you thought it was." Qian Shi Nuo hadn't expected that her hug with Feng Jixun that day would be seen by Meng Yu, and she almost just said it was Feng Jixun who called her, fortunately, she still had some sense left.

  "Qian Shi Nuo, stop pretending with me. I saw you kissing Feng Jie Xun at the dance party that night. What else can you say? Don't forget, I didn't find another dance partner at the party, so when we were waltzing, my eyes weren't closed. I witnessed everything that happened between you and Feng Jie Xun with my own eyes." Yi Meng Yu's voice started to rise, as if she was roaring.

  "What a surprise!"

  That day, Qian Shi accidentally kissed Feng Yu, and she looked around, but didn't see anyone else. She really forgot that Yi Mengyu didn't dance with her, blaming herself for being too careless. However, the kiss was just an accident. But thinking back, Yi Mengyu disliked her because of these things, so finding someone to secretly take pictures of her was something she had been doing for a long time. Did it mean that at that time, she already considered herself as a love rival?

  "Meng Yu, is it because of this that you dislike me? And then had someone take a sneak shot of me?"

  "So it was you hiding behind the tree?"

  "Yes, I didn't think you would dislike me so much because of Feng Jiaxun. No wonder after that dance party, you never spoke to me again. So you've been distrusting me for a long time."

  "I saw from the beginning that Feng Jie Xun was special to you, I knew that one day you would pose a threat to me. That day when I saw you sneaking around, I knew you were up to no good, so I had someone take pictures of you in secret. I didn't expect to actually catch evidence, but I wasn't going to expose it publicly. However, you repeatedly betrayed the trust I had in you. But this time consider yourself lucky because Feng Jie Xun let you off the hook."

  "What if I said I really have nothing to do with Feng Yu?"

  "Feng Jie said in front of the whole class that you're his woman, and yet you still tell me that you have no relationship with him? Qian Shi Nu, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Stop denying it, don't you know how ridiculous you look right now?"

  "That's just what Feng Jue said himself, I didn't acknowledge it at all."

  "Anyway, I won't believe anything you say now, unless..."

  "What if?"

  "Unless you're with Choi Se-hyun." Yimunyu said after a pause.

  "Me? With Choi Se-hoon?" Chae Shi-ah asked again to confirm if she hadn't misheard.

  "Right, didn't you say you liked Choi Se-hyun? That confession was also not fulfilled because of Feng Jiaxun. If you want me to believe you, then be with Choi Se-hyun and stay away from Feng Jiaxun." Yi Mengyu said clearly and distinctly.

  Being with Choi Se-hyun, that day I was planning to confess, but was pulled away by Feng Jie Xun. And inexplicably got a forced kiss, fortunately this scene wasn't seen by Meng Yu, otherwise I would really have jumped into the Yellow River and still couldn't wash it clean. At this time, Qian Shi Nuo is still celebrating himself, no wonder he's known for being optimistic.

  Qian Shi Nu hesitated for a moment, perhaps only by doing so could he make Meng Yu forget her resentment towards him, perhaps only by doing so could he salvage this friendship. "I promise you," Qian Shi Nu said with no conviction at all.

  "Alright, Qian Shi Nuo, this is what you said yourself, don't go back on your word. I'll give you a week's time. If you're still entangled with Feng Jiao Chen and not with Cui Xi Hong, then...don't blame me for being rude to you." Yimeng Yu finished speaking and lowered her head, continuing to play with her phone.

  So many things happened that day, got blocked on the way back to school, was told by Feng Jie Xun that she's his woman, went to the top restaurant in C city, and found out it was her good friend taking revenge on her. What's laughable is that she didn't want to hurt her at all, hehe, Qian Shi Nu your life is really full of fortune and misfortune. Qian Shi Nu put down her book and quietly slipped into bed...

  The bedroom returned to its former tranquility, or rather, coldness...
