[Ordinary Girl] My boyfriend's brothers are all very curious about me.

Fearing that Zong Yan would storm into his house and beat him, Sheng Qiming hid at Shao Huaizhi's house.

He completely ruined Shao Huaizhi's leisurely mood of reading and drinking tea.

He closed the book with a hint of exasperation. "Do you think it's appropriate to say something like that to my face?"

Sheng Qiming scoffed, "If she hadn't used such underhanded methods to seduce Zong Yan, why would I be saying such things about her?"

Shao Huaizhi: "Is this your own thought, or did she admit it?"

Sheng Qiming: "She didn't admit it, but I think that's how it is. Otherwise, I really can't find any reason why Zong Yan likes her."

Unfortunately, he couldn't verify this, which made him even more frustrated.

"I don't think that's the reason," Shao Huaizhi said. "You should watch your words in the future. Zong Yan deserved to hit you."

Sheng Qiming glared at him. "If he's going to hit me, shouldn't you help me stop him?"

Unfortunately, Shao Huaizhi had no intention of stopping him and had already given Zong Yan his address.

What he said was absolutely outrageous; a man of character would never say such things.

Shao Huaizhi also had doubts about that possibility; perhaps there was a slight chance, but Zong Yan's initial attraction to her was definitely not because of that.

After all, aren't there plenty of people like them who throw themselves at you?

Why would Zong Yan bother sleeping with a small-town woman who is just an ordinary person in every way?

Shao Huaizhi was thinking about that ordinary woman and didn't realize that he, like Sheng Qiming, had been thinking about her a lot lately.

However, he felt that he was just calmly analyzing her, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Ah!" Sheng Qiming's scream pulled him back to reality. Zong Yan had come over that very night to beat him up.

Did you bully her?

Otherwise, why wouldn't Lin Su want to have a simple lunch with him next time?

"I didn't. I just asked her a few questions. Who knew she was so fragile that I couldn't even ask her anything?" Sheng Qiming covered his face, thinking, "You can't hit someone in the face."

"What did you ask her?" Zong Yan knew he wouldn't say anything nice.

Shao Huaizhi raised an eyebrow slightly, realizing that Lin Su hadn't told him. He promptly interrupted Sheng Qiming's excuse, "He was just curious about why you were dating Lin Su, so he asked her a few more questions."

Zong Yan kicked Sheng Qiming again. "Didn't I tell you? I like her, and I want to date her. Is it any of your business?"

Sheng Qiming couldn't care less, but his eyes hurt, and now his legs hurt too.

"Then why do you like her?" he asked, his neck stiff.

Zongyan: "How would I know? I just like someone, there's no reason needed!"

His domineering yet self-righteous manner left Sheng Qiming speechless.

Shao Huaizhi poured each of them a cup of tea to refresh them; if it weren't for their noise, he would have gone to sleep long ago.

Zong Yan picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp. He tilted his head back, revealing his smooth jawline, and a scratch mark caught Shao Huaizhi's attention.

He suddenly realized that they seemed to do it every day.

Sheng Qiming also finished his drink in one gulp, and then couldn't help but say, "I'm just curious and want to talk to your girlfriend more. I promise I won't say those kinds of things next time."

Zong Yan: "Stay away from her!"

Sheng Qiming pursed his lips. "I'll apologize to her. Can't I apologize to her tomorrow?"

Zong Yan: "Okay, after you apologize, stay away from her."

Sheng Qiming: "..."

Zong Yan got home at 2 a.m. Lin Su had been sleeping and waking up. She was half asleep when she heard him say that Sheng Qiming wanted to apologize to her.

"No need," Lin Su mumbled, "It's enough that he doesn't come looking for me."

"He should apologize to you. You don't need to forgive him this time. Just tell him to get lost."

Lin Su snuggled against him, her voice soft, "How could I dare?"

Zong Yan lowered his head and kissed her closed eyes, chuckling, "Why wouldn't you dare? I'm your boyfriend."

Lin Su opened her eyes, and shyly leaned over to kiss him back. "Yeah, my boyfriend is amazing."

Zong Yan grabbed her waist and lifted her up. "Not going to sleep?"

"Go to sleep." Lin Su quickly hugged his neck and nuzzled against him. "I have class tomorrow."

"Then go to sleep quickly and stop tempting me."

Lin Su didn't seduce him at all; he was the one who kissed her first. But she didn't dare to argue and quickly closed her eyes to sleep.

The next day, the two got up together and spent another half hour in the bathroom. If Zong Yan hadn't driven her there, she would have been late.

She rushed into the classroom, but all the good seats on the side were gone, so she could only sit in the very front row in the middle.

Fortunately, the teacher didn't ask any questions in this class, and Lin Su got through the class without any major incidents.

She barely ate breakfast today, and now her stomach is growling with hunger.

Lin Su followed the group to the restaurant. She bought two dishes at the window, picked up a corner with the tray, and lowered her head to eat attentively.

She had just taken a bite when someone sat down opposite her, and she looked up in surprise.

Shao Huaizhi laughed and said, "What a coincidence."

Lin Su blinked in surprise, also finding it quite a coincidence that someone would be having dinner with her today. "Did you just get out of class too?"

"No," Shao Huaizhi explained, "I just finished an experiment and felt a little hungry, so I came to the cafeteria for lunch."

Lin Su didn't understand his experiment, but it sounded very impressive. She was too embarrassed to ask, so she lowered her head and continued eating.

Shao Huaizhi asked casually, "I heard that Sheng Qiming said a lot of unpleasant things to you yesterday?"

How does he know everything? Lin Su blushed with embarrassment again.

Not wanting him to misunderstand, she explained softly, "I didn't do that. Zongyan and I are in a serious relationship."

"Of course I believe you," Shao Huaizhi chuckled. "You two are definitely in a serious relationship."

She and Zong Yan were both unmarried, and they didn't hide anything or have a third party involved, so it was a perfectly normal relationship.

Lin Su's eyelashes trembled as she looked at him, her eyes slowly reddening.

She was touched and wanted to be friends with him even more; he was truly a good and decent person.

Shao Huaizhi hadn't expected her to cry. He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her. "Don't cry. Zong Yan has already taught him a lesson for you."

Lin Su took the tissue and wiped her tears, then smiled at him somewhat embarrassedly.

Her fair skin made her red eyes stand out even more, and her thin, frail figure made her look even more pitiful.

She is a woman who easily evokes pity; she is ordinary and harmless, making it easier for people to lower their guard.

Shao Huaizhi suddenly understood why Zong Yan had noticed her in the first place.

Lin Su didn't shed tears, only her eyes were slightly moist at the corners, but because she was holding back her tears, her eyes became even redder.

When Sheng Qiming arrived, he immediately noticed her red eyes and exclaimed in shock, "You made her cry?"

His tone was a mixture of surprise and schadenfreude; he was sure he would live to see Zong Yan beat up Shao Huaizhi.

Shao Huaizhi: "..."
