Finally, after school, Qi Shang still called Shang Yun to tell him that he had something to do and would be back a bit late. In fact, he came to a restaurant a bit far from school with Shu Yao for a private chat.
"Aren't you single?"
Just when Shu Yao thought Qi Shang would first tell her whether he was willing to cooperate with her, Qi Shang unexpectedly asked this question, which made Shu Yao stunned for a moment.
However, after she came to her senses, she still answered seriously, "My boyfriend is not in the country for the time being, so others all think I'm single. I don't care about them, so there's no need to specifically tell them that I'm not a single woman. But... I didn't expect you, Qi Shang, to be quite concerned about my situation."
Qi Shang sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just that those idle boys talked too much."
Shu Yao sighed, "Young man, you're very handsome, but you're extremely boring. Doesn't your boyfriend think you're boring?"
Qi Shang stared at Shu Yao with a cold look in his eyes. "Don't casually comment on my relationship with Lin!"
Shu Yao raised her hand. "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Now let's start talking about business. Qi Shang, are you willing to cooperate with me... with us? If you really don't want to, we can't force you. We'll just have to look for other suitable partners."
Qi Shang snorted. Just when Shu Yao thought she would get a negative answer, Qi Shang said, "Okay, I agree." This really surprised Shu Yao, since Qi Shang's attitude towards her was far from friendly.
Qi Shang's overly cold attitude even made Shu Yao doubt her charm a bit when she first contacted him.
She had been the school beauty since middle school, with countless suitors. Who would have thought that Qi Shang would be so cold to her? Later, when she learned that Qi Shang had a male lover, Shu Yao felt a bit comforted.
"That's great. Since that's the case, let's exchange contact information. Oh no, as your teacher, I know your phone number. I'll just give you my phone number. I'm so happy that my mind is a bit muddled."
Qi Shang didn't care about this. Instead, he tapped on his phone screen a few times, which made Shu Yao curiously ask him, "What are you doing?" She deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied. "It's very impolite to play with your phone while chatting with a lady."
Qi Shang tapped on the phone screen a few more times before putting his phone away. "I'm chatting with Lin. He asked if he should leave some late-night snacks for me." As he said this, Qi Shang's originally cold and seemingly hard features softened a bit, and his eyes were also very gentle.
Wow, this boy with the ability of speech is really in a good relationship with his boyfriend! He was so withdrawn at school that he hardly had any friends, and his attitude towards those he didn't care about was terrifyingly cold. But when it came to his lover, he was a completely different person. This made him more like a normal human with warmth and emotions. Thinking of this, Shu Yao was glad that she had insisted on cooperating with Qi Shang.
"Tell me about those people. Why did they target me?"
Shu Yao's expression became extremely serious. "Those people are from Country A. Although they have the same nationality, there are superpowered people of various national origins among them. Their purpose is plunder!"
