Qi Shang quite enjoyed Xia Lin's flattery. He told Xia Lin to take a few steps back, then grabbed the boy up. Amid the girl's apologies, he punched the boy hard. The fierce look in his eyes and the sharp pain on the boy's face made him lose the will to fight back. After being let go, he immediately grabbed his girlfriend's hand and left.
[Mission completed. Qi Shang's blackening value has decreased by 5 points. The current blackening value is 58. Please keep up the good work, host.]
Xia Lin let out a sigh of relief and handed the vanilla ice cream to Qi Shang. "Let's go. We can eat on the way back."
Qi Shang didn't say a word but obediently took the ice cream and walked beside Xia Lin. They walked to the bus stop, took the bus for three stops, and then walked for another three or four minutes before arriving home.
Xia Lin told Qi Shang to take a shower first. "You can take a shower and then go to sleep. I'll go later."
"What are you going to do later?"
"Oh, it's nothing worth mentioning. I'm going to play games."
"I see you play games every day, but your academic performance is still so good. You're quite smart."
Xia Lin paused with the phone in his hand. He couldn't exactly tell Qi Shang that it was because he had already learned the current knowledge once, which was why he found it quite easy.
"Cough, cough. I can't help it. I'm just naturally gifted. I actually think you're much smarter than me. You've improved so fast. I'm afraid I'm going to lose our bet for sure."
Qi Shang squinted his eyes happily. "Of course. You're definitely going to lose."
Finally, Xia Lin managed to coax this "little ancestor" into taking a shower. He let out a big sigh of relief. Just as Xia Lin thought he could start playing games in peace, the phone rang.
Damn it. Can I play games properly today? Xia Lin answered the phone helplessly. "Hey, Haike. What's up? Why are you calling so late at night?"
"What? A mixer with the Literature Department on the weekend? No way. I'm going to tutor a high - school student."
Seven or eight minutes later...
"Fine. I'm afraid of you. I'll go, okay!"
When Xia Lin hung up the phone, he heard someone ask him, "Go where? Where are you going?"
"Qi Shang! Why did you take such a quick shower!"
"I just put on some body wash and rinsed it off. Of course it's fast. You just said on the phone that you're going somewhere on the weekend. Where?"
"Oh, this. There are a lot of boys in our class, so we're going to have a mixer with a class from the Literature Department. There's a rich second - generation student in our class. The mixer will be held in his villa. I didn't want to go at first, but my classmate told me that everyone else has agreed, and it wouldn't be good if I didn't go. Anyway, it's just one night, so I agreed. By the way, I'll make up for the tutoring I'll miss that day double the next day."
Qi Shang turned his head. "I'm just asking out of curiosity. You don't need to explain so much!"
Xia Lin was confused. He deeply felt that Qi Shang was just unpredictable. "But I just want to explain it to you properly. Well, anyway, I've answered your question. Now that you've finished showering, it's my turn!"
Xia Lin went to get clean clothes and took a shower. Qi Shang stood in the living room, thinking expressionlessly. Finally, he murmured, "It's so strange. Why do I care so much about where Xia Lin is going? No, I don't care. I'm just asking out of curiosity!"
[Ding~ Qi Shang's love value has increased by 4 points. The current love value is 32.]
Xia Lin, who was taking off his clothes, was stunned for a moment. Why did the love value suddenly increase? Qi Shang was really a hard - to - understand, tsundere villain.
