Lin Su stayed overnight. She had a room to herself, and the housekeeper brought her new pajamas and a change of clothes for the next day. When she unfolded them, she found that there were also underwear.

Incense sticks were burning in the room to help her sleep. Lin Su thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but she seemed to fall asleep within a few minutes.

I had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up in the morning, the housekeeper brought her breakfast for herself. He Zaizhou had gotten up earlier than her and had already gone to work. Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief because she didn't have to face him.

Although his attitude was always very good, he was inexplicably frightening. Compared to him, Lin Su felt that Sheng Qiming was much easier to get along with.

After breakfast, the housekeeper arranged for a driver to take her to class and handed her a paper bag. Lin Su thought it was some food, so she thanked her and accepted it.

But when she got into the car and opened it, she found only a black box inside, and inside the box was a silver bracelet with a daisy design.

Lin Su glanced at it a few times and stuffed it back into the bag. She originally wanted to leave it in the car, but the driver specifically reminded her to take it with her, so she didn't want to make things difficult for the driver and had no choice but to take it.

After entering the school, Lin Su went to her dormitory to get her books for today's classes. She carried the books to the classroom and had just found a corner to sit down when someone sat down on the outside.

Sheng Qiming, wearing a baseball cap, sat down next to her, frowning as he asked, "Where did you go last night?"

Even if she wanted to avoid him, she couldn't just stop going home. He went to both places, but she wasn't there, and she wasn't staying in the dormitory either.

Lin Su ignored him.

"You went to stay in a hotel? Is it really that bad?" Sheng Qiming muttered to himself. "Am I that scary? I'm so good-looking, it's not certain who will suffer. You're the one who benefits, okay?"

Lin Su turned a deaf ear.

"Zong Yan is away on a business trip. Are you afraid to sleep alone tonight? How about I come and keep you company? I promise I'll just keep you company."

"..."

"Hey." Sheng Qiming called out unhappily, nudging her arm. "Say something to me, okay? I'll apologize to you, okay? I'll have you sign an agreement later, will you be happy then?"

The school bell rang, and the teacher arrived. Lin Su glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't talk."

Sheng Qiming obediently shut his mouth, leaned on the table and looked at her sideways. She was still as unremarkable as ever, far inferior to him, not even a tenth as good as him.

No matter how much he wanted to lie, Sheng Qiming couldn't lie and say she was pretty, but the more he looked at her, the more pleasing she seemed.

Besides, it's enough for one person in the family to be good-looking. He's already so beautiful, what if we find another person who's too beautiful and we end up with an alien?

He should find an average-looking woman to balance things out.

As Sheng Qiming was lost in thought, the bell rang, and he immediately snapped back to attention.

"Don't rush, we'll leave later, it's too crowded now." Sheng Qiming blocked the exit, and Lin Su couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

After waiting for about ten minutes, when almost all the people outside had left, Sheng Qiming stood up and grabbed Lin Su's wrist, saying, "So you don't run away."

Lin Su: "I won't run away, let's have a good talk."

Walking to Swan Bay, Sheng Qiming asked, "Should we go to your place or mine?"

Lin Su: "My home."

Feeling more confident on her own turf, Lin Su poured a glass of water for each of them, preparing for a long talk.

Sheng Qiming was sitting improperly, actually because he was uncomfortable. The thought that he was sitting in the same place where they had done *that* night made him feel nauseous.

Although given their frequent affairs, there might be traces of them throughout the house, he only heard about that one time.

Although he had arranged for a thorough cleaning of the entire house, Sheng Qiming stood up uncomfortably. "Let's go somewhere else."

They moved to the study, which was brand new and bright, with new desks and chairs, all paid for by Sheng Qiming.

"Ahem, go ahead and say it." Actually, he wasn't comfortable in the study either.

"Why did you come to see me again?" Lin Su asked, pursing her lips. "Could you please not come again?"

Sheng Qiming: "..."

He was furious; he was practically begging to give it away for free, but nobody wanted it.

"I only like Zong Yan, I will never like you," Lin Su continued.

Sheng Qiming's expression was somewhat gloomy. "I never said I liked you, did I?"

"You didn't say that," Lin Su said, her eyes clear. "So you don't like me, and I don't like you either. Let's not see each other again."

Sheng Qiming stared at her for a long time without saying a word, "No."

"But I won't be your girlfriend," Lin Su said. "There's no point in you doing this."

Sheng Qiming: "Then I'll do it too."

Lin Su: "..."

The two stared at each other without saying a word, as if waiting for the other to give in.

"Beep beep!"

The sudden sound of the keypad unlocking startled Lin Su. She stood up in surprise and gestured a shushing gesture to those behind her as she walked out.

The front door of the house was opened from the outside with a password, and Zong Yan, who was supposed to be away on a business trip, returned.

"Wife, I'm home!" Zong Yan called out as he entered the door. As he was about to change his shoes, he suddenly noticed a pair of men's leather shoes that didn't belong to him, and his blue slippers were gone.

Lin Su ran out of the study, somewhat surprised, but mostly shocked. "You're back?"

Zong Yan stood in the doorway looking at her, then glanced at the men's leather shoes in the shoe cabinet. His voice deepened, "Are there any guests?"

Lin Su opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Sheng Qiming, wearing blue slippers, walked out of the same study. "It's me. Am I a guest?"

"What are you doing in my house?" Seeing him, Zong Yan's gloomy expression softened somewhat, but he was still unhappy. "Give me back my slippers."

"Which one is your slipper? I just threw on a pair." Sheng Qiming raised his chin. "Aren't there plenty of other slippers over there?"

Zong Yan didn't want to wear the slippers he'd worn either. He stood on the floor in his socks, glared at him, and said, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to find you, but you were away on a business trip. Why are you back all of a sudden?"

"I ran back." Zong Yan raised an eyebrow, walked up to Lin Su, and pinched her cheek. "Wife, wasn't I quick to come back this time?"

"Did you sneak back?" Lin Su asked worriedly. "Won't your dad scold you?"

"I shouldn't have gone in the first place," Zong Yan snorted. "He just wanted to run away."

"Don't do that again next time." Lin Su was worried that he would get beaten. His father seemed to have a very bad temper and would beat him at the slightest disagreement.

"Don't worry." Zong Yan put his arm around her shoulder and leaned against her. "I heard you had the house thoroughly cleaned. What happened?"

It wasn't her who found the person, but Sheng Qiming. Lin Su seemed to understand who had left those marks in the study that day.

"It just feels a bit dirty," Lin Su said softly. "Are you tired after just getting back? Do you want to rest for a bit?"

"Yes, you'll sleep with me."

The young couple talked without any regard for the safety of outsiders. Sheng Qiming watched coldly and snorted, "There's another handsome guy here too."

Zong Yan glanced at him sideways and said, "Then why don't you get lost?"

"I just arrived. I need to talk to you." Sheng Qiming pulled Zong Yan into the study, successfully separating the lovey-dovey couple.

Zong Yan noticed that the desk and chairs in the study had been changed. A strange emotion flashed in his eyes, but Sheng Qiming's next words dispelled his suspicions.

"See this? The finest sandalwood table and chairs, a gift from me," he said, patting the table.

"What do you want?" Offering help for no reason.

"Please forgive me," Sheng Qiming said. "I was being unreasonable before. I promise I'll never give your girlfriend the cold shoulder again."

Zongyan: "Then shouldn't you have told her?"

Sheng Qiming: "I want to too, but she has a lot of complaints about me now, and she avoids me whenever she sees me."

Zong Yan snorted, "An apology should be sincere. One set of tables and chairs isn't enough. Give us a house first."

Sheng Qiming's eyes lit up. "Sure, no problem."
