All my teammates online are my girlfriends

However, for the greater good, let's make a small sacrifice for Xiao Dan. The total value of Hui Yuan's room already far exceeds these figurines. We can always buy her some new ones later.

The scratching and shouting outside continued for an unknown amount of time. Only after the noise gradually subsided did she breathe a sigh of relief.

However, judging from her heavy breathing, Qin Dan showed no signs of leaving and seemed ready to rest before continuing the fight.

Just as Qin Dan was glaring menacingly at the door, a soft "click" sound reached her ears.

As the door slowly opened, a figure with long, flowing hair gradually appeared before the two sisters, her delicate and serene face revealing a hint of apology.

"Xiao Dan, consider these figurines as a loan to me for now. When I get my allowance, I'll give them all back to you, and you can buy some new ones."

Tempted by the prospect of pocket money, Qin Dan's breathing visibly faltered, but the thought of her entire collection of limited-edition figurines caused her face to harden again—

"It's not about the money! Those are limited editions, the manufacturer has already stopped production! They're all my favorites, how dare you try to steal them away, big sister!"

"Translate this: the money is too little."

Upon hearing Qin Xuan's sudden retort, Qin Dan immediately glared at him.

"I really need these figurines urgently. Name your other conditions."

"Name your price? Anything is fine?"

Qin Dan's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a suspicious look as she stared at her older sister. Unlike her, her sister didn't have a hobby of collecting figurines; why would she suddenly want her precious item?

She exchanged a glance with Qin Xuan without leaving a trace, and seeing that she felt the same way, she became even more curious.

There's definitely something wrong here!

"Any conditions are fine, as long as you give me this set of figures."

"Oh dear - I'll have to think about this carefully!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Dan was no longer sleepy, and a mischievous smile immediately bloomed on her face.

I won a rather embarrassing cosplay outfit in a raffle, but I've never dared to wear it. Since this lady is so accommodating...

Oh right! I've always wanted to see the scene where my older sister dresses as a man, goes on a date with a girl, and then reveals the truth! If I could record it, I could keep it as a family heirloom!

And there's more...

"Cough cough!"

Just as Qin Dan's mind was filled with unrestrained thoughts, Qin Xuan's light cough brought her back to her senses.

Oh right, don't forget the important matter!

"What do you need this whole series of figures for? I remember you didn't have a habit of collecting figures."

"sold."

Qin Dan: "???"

"Give it back! Nothing I say will work, give me back my figure!!! My family isn't short of money, and you actually want to sell my treasure? You're trying to kill me and break my spirit!"

Qin Yunmo's answer infuriated Qin Dan once again. "If you had given me a different reason, I might have hesitated for a bit and then agreed."

You actually want to sell?! Sister, are you starting a secondhand resale business?!

Seeing that Qin Dan was about to rush into the house, Qin Yunmo quickly grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her out of the room like a kitten.

"Leave it to me, I can handle her."

Qin Xuan, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, said something and stepped forward to help support Qin Dan.

Are you sure it will work?

"Don't worry."

Qin Xuan spoke calmly, then supported the frantically struggling Qin Dan and slowly retreated back into the room.

Watching the mysterious Qin Xuan leave, Yun Mo couldn't guess what she was thinking and could only let her do as she pleased.

Meanwhile, Qin Dan, after being dragged back to the room and making sure the door was locked, instantly changed her expression and looked at Qin Xuan—

"What did you find?"

"It doesn't seem like she's trying to sell your figurine; it feels more like she's giving it away."

"Give them away? Although my older sister is quite popular at school, she doesn't seem to have any particularly close friends, right? These are all top-notch treasures of mine, who would she give them to as gifts...?"

Seeing Qin Xuan's strange expression, Qin Dan's muttering stopped abruptly. As if realizing a certain possibility, she was jolted awake.

He then pounced on the bed, pulled out his phone, and quickly dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, a pleasant, gentle female voice came from the other end—

"What's wrong, Xiaodan? Why are you calling so suddenly? Did you accidentally blow up the kitchen again?"

"No, Mom! It's my older sister!"

"Yunmo blew up the kitchen?"

"Mom, I suspect you might have some misunderstanding about us."

"Okay, okay - no more joking around. What's up? Your mom's been pretty busy these past few days."

Hearing her mother's slightly teasing joke, Qin Dan couldn't help but roll her eyes. After exchanging a glance with Qin Xuan, she lowered her voice and said—

"Mom, my eldest sister has a boyfriend!"

"..."

A deathly silence fell over the other end of the phone...

013 - So flat...

"Brother Lin Qiu! Get up! Did you stay up really late again yesterday?"

Just as dawn was breaking, Lin Qiu heard her younger sister's lazy urging voice right on time.

Lin Qiu, who was sleeping comfortably, mumbled something indistinctly, then burrowed into the covers and pretended not to hear, continuing to sleep soundly.

Looking at Lin Qiu, who was still in bed, Qian Hui rubbed her temples with a headache. This was especially frustrating about Lin Qiu when school started.

"Lin Qiu! Wake up! School has started, don't be late on your first day!"

As she spoke, she even pinched Lin Qiu's face with her hand, which barely brought him back to consciousness.

"Ah—I'm awake, I'm awake. Chie, stop pinching me, or it'll swell up."

"Get up quickly, or the fried eggs will get cold."

"understood."

After watching Chie leave the room in a daze, Lin Qiu skillfully rolled over and fell silent again.

"Brother Lin Qiu—"

"Okay, I understand!"

As if she had anticipated this situation, Chie, who had left, turned back again and raised her voice to shout.

This time, Lin Qiu was finally fully awakened. Only after he shakily got out of bed did Qian Hui grab the clothes from the clothes rack and come over.

"Honestly, how old are you? Can't you be a little more self-disciplined?"

Chie muttered irritably and threw all the clothes at his face.

"Get up! If you fall asleep again, I won't wake you. You still have an hour before your morning class starts."

"I'll get up right now!"

Upon hearing that class was about to start, Lin Qiu perked up, quickly put on her clothes, and slipped to the restroom.

Watching his hurried figure, Chie shook her head helplessly and said nothing more. After making his bed, she left the room.

Half an hour had passed by the time Lin Qiu rushed out of the house, his face full of excited anticipation.

Today is the first day I should be able to see the mysterious deskmate from the registration! I hope she's the legendary student council beauty. Although I don't dare to hope for it, it would be nice to see her.

Silently praying, Lin Qiu didn't slow down for a moment, almost running all the way into his school.

"Lin Qiu, please don't run in the corridor."

Just as Lin Qiu was sprinting towards the classroom, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed his collar tightly, and forcefully held him in place.

Feeling the terrifying force coming from his collar, Lin Qiu turned around in a daze and looked at his homeroom teacher who had appeared behind him at some point.

Sister, how did you develop such incredible strength?!

"Good morning... good morning, Teacher Bai."

"What do you mean 'early'? Class is almost starting, and you're one of the last few to arrive. Don't oversleep next time."

Bai Yujue gave her instructions in a serious tone, but her slightly flushed face and panting appearance clearly showed that she, like Lin Qiu, had slept too much and rushed over.

The thief is crying "stop thief!"

Lin Qiu glanced at the homeroom teacher subtly, but didn't expose her. She obediently responded and then slowly strolled into the classroom.

To his disappointment, his deskmate was still nowhere to be seen.

"Why do they seem so elusive?"

With a helpless sigh, Lin Qiu slumped listlessly onto the table.

If I had known this would happen, I probably should have agreed to the fish-stealing cat's suggestion; maybe it would have actually worked out!

"Alright, everyone, quiet down. There's still a little time before morning class. Qin will be handing out the books later. Please keep them safe, you'll need them for the whole semester."

The homeroom teacher's voice rang out in the classroom at just the right moment, instantly silencing the noisy atmosphere.

Behind her followed a slender, aloof figure whose delicate and serene face immediately drew the attention of all the boys.

Lin Qiu, in particular, was so shocked her heart was in her throat. Was she really a beautiful girl?!

However, as his gaze moved downwards, a black choker was clearly visible around his long, fair neck, making it impossible to tell whether he had an Adam's apple or not.

When all the boys' eyes fell on her chest, she almost made no attempt to hide her disappointment.

Tsk, so it's a guy, huh? So flat-chested...

Glancing at the expressions of the boys in the class, Qin Yunmo's expression remained unchanged, as if he had long been accustomed to this change.

After the homeroom teacher nodded in approval, she quietly distributed the textbooks she had brought.

"You've collected them all. Is there any extra or missing? If not, then it's settled. Qin, you can go back to your seat now."

Qin Yunmo nodded slightly, then walked towards where Lin Qiu was.

As she got closer, she noticed her new deskmate, who was lounging on the desk like a salted fish, looking sleepy. His hair was much longer than most boys' and was obviously not well-groomed, making it look rather messy.

But for some reason, Yunmo felt a strange sense of familiarity with this guy.

Have I seen this before?

Qin Yunmo pondered, not wanting to disturb the lazybones, and silently sat down beside him before looking seriously at the podium.

As the gentle bell rang softly, the classroom fell silent. Everyone quietly shut their mouths and looked at Bai Yujue, who had a gentle smile on her face.

"Classmates, I'll be teaching today's morning class. Yesterday's registration was a bit rushed, so we won't have class today. Let me give you a proper introduction."

Bai Yujue's voice was very gentle, which calmed people down.

"Let me formally introduce myself. My surname is Bai, and my given name is Bai Yuqiu. You can just call me Teacher Bai. My office is in Room C on the third floor of the office building. You can find me there if you need anything."

"In my free time, I like to play games and watch movies, and I also exercise at home. Don't let my amiable appearance fool you, I'm actually better at sports than most guys."

At this point, Bai Yuqiu waved her fist, but her arm was rather slender and didn't have the muscles one might expect, so most people thought she was just joking.

But Lin Qiu, who had already witnessed the homeroom teacher's terrifying strength, looked somewhat frightened. No matter how much training he did, could he possibly capture a 1.8-meter-tall man with one hand?

Teacher Bai, do you mean martial arts when you say "exercise"?

"I hope everyone gets along well in the new semester. I hope there won't be any bullying. But if students from other classes bully you, don't be afraid. Just tell the teacher, and the teacher will take care of them... and educate them sincerely!"

Did you just say something dangerous?

Looking at the homeroom teacher who had changed his tune without leaving a trace, Lin Qiu instinctively sensed that something was amiss.

014 - Could the similar-looking characters be the same person?

"You shady dealer, did you manage to get your hands on the Qingyuan figure?"
