The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Lu Xingzhou looked up at Li Ruo, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"You looked at it three times, right, Ruoruo?"

Li Ruo: "…………"

Help.

[Hahaha, Lu Xingzhou's finishing move was spot on!]

[Three eyes! He overheard Li Ruo and Zhou Si's conversation and even memorized every glance! Lu Gou must be ecstatic right now!]

[Li Ruo: I thought I was spying very discreetly.jpg]

Zhou Si went completely berserk, grabbing Lu Xingzhou by the collar:

"You fucking came here looking for a thrill, didn't you?!"

Lu Xingzhou's hands were crippled, rendering him unable to resist, but his expression remained calm:

"Let go, my hand hurts."

"What do I care if your hand hurts!"

"Ruoruo will feel sorry for her."

Zhou Si's hand froze.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Li Ruo.

Li Ruo was holding a spare rib, taking small bites, her eyes darting around, pretending not to hear anything.

Zhou Si's stiff turn was hilarious!

[Lu Xingzhou: My hand hurts → Ruoruo will feel sorry for me → Zhou Si, you're finished]

[Li Ruo: As long as I study diligently enough, it has nothing to do with me.]

Zhou Si: "..."

He loosened Lu Xingzhou's collar, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Then he turned to Li Ruo, his voice low and calm before a storm:

"Li Ruo, tell me, are you more worried about his hands or my eyes?"

Li Ruo raised her eyes, looked at the bandage on his eyes, then at Lu Xingzhou's bandage, and finally focused her gaze on the ribs in her hand.

She blinked and whispered:

"...You all feel sorry for them?"

Zhou Si: "..."

Lu Xingzhou: "..."

Lu Ran leaned halfway out of his wheelchair: "What about me?!"

Li Ruo glanced at his leg in a cast and added:

"...I feel sorry for him too."

Lu Ran contentedly shrunk back into his wheelchair.

Zhou Si's expression darkened further: "What you said is the same as saying nothing at all!"

[Master of Balance, Li Ruo, is here!]

Zhou Si and Lu Xingzhou looked like they'd swallowed flies!

[Lu Ran: Successfully made my presence known!]

Zhou Si: What she said is as good as saying nothing! Lu Ran: She said she felt sorry for me, hehe.

These six lunatics have been tamed into idiots by Li Ruo!

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from the stairwell.

"Make way, you academic underachievers."

Pei Qingrang, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a meticulously tailored suit, and a face mask, walked over with a composed gait.

He had no bandages on his body and was as clean as if he were attending an academic conference.

Zhou Si's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned his gun around:

"Hey, Pei Xue Shen is here! What are you doing here if you're not injured?"

Pei Qingrang glanced at him indifferently, then reached out and slowly removed his mask.

There was a fresh red mark on the corner of his mouth.

"I was so nervous on the operating table last night that I bit my lip until it bled."

Pei Qingrang said calmly, "I bled a lot and almost fainted."

Zhou Si: "…………"

Lu Ran: "…………"

[What? My lip is cut? Is that even considered an injury?]

[Pei Qingrang, why don't you take a look at the three people next to you? One is blind, one has a missing hand, and one has a missing leg. What are you doing here with your lip cut on it?!]

But he spoke so seriously that I almost believed him.

Lu Xingzhou raised an eyebrow: "A cracked lip? You call that an injury?"

Pei Qingrang squinted at Lu Xingzhou: "We were both trying to save lives. Do injuries differ in size or location? Or are you saying your hands are more valuable than mine?"

Lu Xingzhou was momentarily speechless.

Pei Qingrang turned to Li Ruo, leaned slightly forward, and softened his voice:

"Li Ruo, my lips hurt a lot, could you... blow on them for me?"

Finally, finally, I found the chance to ask her for the flavor that is most uniquely hers.

He saw it from the doorway just now.

Zhou Si, that brute, wrapped his head up like a mummy. He was short-tempered and seemed to be in control of the situation, but in reality, he got nothing from Li Ruo.

Lu Ran is a bit clever and cunning. Although he managed to gain Li Ruo's sympathy by using his limp, he still didn't get any benefit from it.

Looking back at Lu Xingzhou, who successfully gained the upper hand, he not only won Li Ruo's attention and favor, but also got the result he wanted.

But the result that Lu Xingzhou wanted was far from enough for Pei Qingrang this time.

If he's going to do it, he'll be the one who stands out from the crowd.

We'll trample these few under our feet.

Zhou Si exploded on the spot: "Blow it?! Who the hell are you letting blow it?!"

Lu Ran's wheelchair slid forward half a meter:

"Does Pei Qing have any shame?!"

"Your lips are sore and you want someone to blow on them? Why don't you just say you want someone to kiss you... kiss you..."

wrong!

As soon as he said that, Lu Ran immediately regretted it.

Oh shit.

Gossip.

Who told you to talk nonsense!

What if, what if he really does… wouldn’t that let that perverted collector get the better deal?!

[Lu Ran's sudden braking was hilarious!]

[Kiss...kiss what? Just say it already!]

[Lu Ran: My mouth!]

Although Lu Xingzhou's hands were useless, his mouth was still working:

"Zhou Si, are you blind too? Didn't you see Ruoruo blowing on me? Go away and don't bother us."

Pei Qingrang raised his eyes, glanced at them, and asked Li Ruo in his usual calm tone:

"Is it alright, Li Ruo?"

Li Ruo almost spat out the ribs in her mouth.

She quickly covered her mouth, chewed hard twice and swallowed, then waved her hand and said indistinctly:

"Ugh...no, no...my lips are oily..."

Pei Qingrang lowered his eyes, his tone tinged with disappointment:

"...Oh. I see. You despise me, you think I'm not qualified to save you, right? Then I'll just have Fu Chenzhou keep me as a pet. Anyway, there's no point in living."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone, dialed the number for Fu Chenzhou's manor, and put it on speakerphone.

The butler answered the phone quickly: "Hello, Mr. Pei, what can I do for you?"

"Tell your husband, Mr. Fu, that I—"

"I'll brag! Fine, I'll brag!!"

Ancestors, don't cause trouble.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingrang's lips curled up slightly.

Disappointment? Not at all.

He successfully drew Li Ruo's attention to his "injured lips".

The remaining three were furious.

Li Ruo sat there looking a little awkward. She wiped her mouth, then wiped her mouth again, and then looked very busy as she prepared to stand up.

The next second, Pei Qingrang braced his hands on the table, his tall body looming over her, placing her slender frame beneath his strong chest.

Zhou Si ripped off the bandage that was bothering his eyes: "What does Pei Qing want you to do, you pervert?!"

Lu Ran's wheelchair lurched forward half a meter before getting stuck on the table leg again.

"Pei Qing, you hypocrite! What happened to the flattery?! Why are you pinching my chin?!"

"Blow it."

Pei Qingrang repeated the two words, a slight smile playing on his lips, a cool and aloof curve, yet his eyes held something that made one's face flush:

"I said to just blow it up, not just blow it up."

Lu Xingzhou wanted to push him away, but then he remembered that he couldn't let his image of having a broken arm crumble in front of Li Ruo.

"Pei Qingrang, Ruoruo just blew on my hand with her mouth. If you kiss her, it's like indirectly kissing me."

The room fell silent for a second after he said that.

Zhou Si: "???"

Indirect kiss?! Lu Xingzhou, you know how disgusting people can be!

Lu Ran: "!!!"

Lu Xingzhou's logic... doesn't seem to have any flaws?

Pei Qingrang's expression flickered slightly.

Li Ruo almost choked to death on her own saliva.

Pei Qingrang paused for a second, then smiled: "Your hand is broken, how can she blow on your hand?"

Lu Xingzhou opened his mouth: "I..."

Pei Qingrang's brow twitched.

He released his grip on Li Ruo's chin, straightened up, and turned to look at Lu Xingzhou.

"Lu Xingzhou".

His voice was very soft, so soft it sent chills down one's spine: "Do you know why my name is Pei Qingrang?"

Lu Xingzhou raised an eyebrow: "Call me Dad, and I'll tell you."

It seems he's really gotten angry; his composure and manners have instantly crumbled.

Pei Qingrang didn't argue with him: "Qing means to be pure, and Rang means to be righteous and not yield."

Pei Qingrang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, a cold glint flashing in his eyes behind the lenses:

"What I mean is, I'm usually aloof and don't argue with you. But when I want to argue, nobody can stop me."

After he finished speaking, he turned back to Li Ruo.

This time he didn't pinch her chin.

Instead, he leaned down, placed his hands on the back of the chair beside her, and pulled her into his arms.

His handsome face was so close, his breath almost brushing against her cheek.

"Li Ruo".

His voice deepened, carrying a hint of aggression he had never shown before:

"I just asked you if you could blow on it for me."

"I've changed my mind now—"

He paused, his gaze falling on her lips. His gaze was light, yet it made Li Ruo inexplicably feel her lips burning.

I want to kiss you.

【Aaaaaaah! Just say it!】

[Has Pei Qing driven you crazy?! Is he really that direct?!]

[My goodness, the aloof academic genius has finally figured it out!]

Li Ruo: "..."

Help.

How did this person suddenly become so...suddenly?

She instinctively shrank back, only to find herself trapped between the chair back and his chest, with nowhere to escape.

"Pei Qingrang..." Her voice trembled slightly, "Please, please calm down..."

"I am very calm."

Pei Qingrang's voice was eerily calm:

"I am calmer now than you have ever known me."

His gaze moved from her lips to her eyes, and in those usually cool and aloof eyes, something he had never seen before was now surging.

"Li Ruo".

He called her name, his voice low and hoarse: "Do you know how long I've waited for this day?"

Li Ruo was stunned.

"I've remembered you since your first day at school."

Pei Qingrang's voice was very soft, as if he were telling a secret:

"Your scent, your voice, the way you laugh... I remember it all."

"But I've never had the chance to get close to you."

"Because I am a refined person."

He paused, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips:

"Refined people always lose to those who are shameless."

Zhou Si: "??? Who are you calling shameless?!"

Lu Ran: "Who did Pei Qing tell you to curse?!"

Lu Xingzhou didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young master of the Pei family, who usually stood in the corner and watched coldly.

Pei Qingrang ignored them.

He just looked at Li Ruo.

Looking at her slightly trembling eyelashes, her tightly pursed lips, and her clear eyes reflecting my own image.

Then he smiled, a very faint smile, so faint it was almost imperceptible.

"Don't be afraid."

He spoke softly, his voice tinged with indulgence:

"I won't be as reckless as Zhou Si, nor as impulsive as Lu Ran, and I certainly won't be as scheming as Lu Xingzhou."

He paused, leaned slightly closer to her ear:

"I'll just give you a very gentle, very light kiss."

The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and Li Ruo's ears instantly turned bright red.

[Holy crap! I didn't expect this turn of events! When did Pei Qing teach you to go astray?!]

[Pei Qingrang: I don't roll up hard things, I roll up soft things, I roll up cuteness!]

[This plot twist is deadly! The aloof academic genius instantly transforms into a cunning wolf!]

[Aaaaaaah, that whisper is killing me!]

"A light kiss is all it takes"—Pei Qing, you're so good at this!

Li Ruo's ears were as red as ripe shrimp!

Pei Qingrang looked at her red dress, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

The next moment, Li Ruo felt his fingertips, slightly cool to the touch, gently resting on the curve of her chin, his thumb against the corner of her lips.

Those eyes, always calm and composed, are now so close.

Behind the glasses, those eyes held a long-suppressed desire and a deeply suppressed possessiveness.

Those lips drew closer and closer...

Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

Then it starts to accelerate.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Her heart was pounding so hard that she doubted Pei Qingrang could hear it.

She recalled what this person was usually like.

He always wore those gold-rimmed glasses, always dressed in a sharp suit, and always stood on the edge of the crowd, watching everything from the perspective of an observer.

Aloof and distant, like someone on a cloud, untouched by the dust of the world.

But now, the person in the clouds leans down and shrouds her in their shadow.

Those eyes, which had just been complaining that "life is meaningless," were now overflowing with longing for her.

Like a hunter who has finally caught his prey.

Li Ruo suddenly felt a little regretful.

She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted.

This is no pitiful creature who needs someone to flatter him; he is clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, who has pretended to be noble his whole life and has finally found the opportunity to show his fangs.

"Pei Qingrang..."

Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of warning:

"What do you want to do?"

Pei Qingrang did not answer.

His gaze fell on her lips.

That gaze was so focused that Li Ruo felt as if she were frozen in place by something.

His gaze slowly moved along her lips, from her upper lip to her lower lip, from the corners of her lips to her cupid's bow, as if he were depicting a priceless treasure with his eyes.

Then, a pair of warm, soft, thin lips covered my lips.

In that instant, the world fell silent.

[Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! They kissed!!!]

[Pei Qing let you kiss him!!! And the kiss was so sensual, oh my god!! Such a passionate scene! I can't even look!]

[Li Ruo's expression! She was stunned! But Pei Qingrang's kiss looked so sweet and doting!! She loved it so much!!]
