All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"how is the taste?"

"It's...very good."

Faced with the sharp gazes sweeping over him by Qin Yunmo and the others, Lin Qiu felt a sudden panic and casually replied with a perfunctory remark.

Damn, why does today's gathering feel so much more stressful than before?

"Alright, stop just watching and keep eating. I made so much today, there's plenty for you all to eat your fill."

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Ying Ziyan quickly spoke up to break the ice.

Today isn't a day for this guy to fight, but a chance for me to compete! I can't let them mess it up!

"Oh right, Ziyan, what are the plans after dinner? Shall we go straight to playing games?"

Hmm—let's go shopping!

Ying Ziyan's suggestion immediately drew the attention of Ze Zhi and Qin Yunmo.

So you're not going to play games and sleep together?

"After all, the discounts in the city center start tonight and last until the weekend. This is also the busiest time of day, so it will be very lively to go shopping here."

Ying Ziyan explained, her eyes fixed expectantly on Lin Qiu. The main thing was that Lin Qiu could go. If it worked out, this would be practically their first symbolic date!

"I have no objection. Anyway, I'll stay overnight, and there's nothing else to do."

Lin Qiu casually remarked that taking a walk after dinner would be quite nice, as long as he didn't have to carry too much stuff.

"I can do that too, just treat it as an after-dinner walk."

"If Sister Ziyan goes, I'll go too!"

"Come on you guys."

Hearing the speech that clearly indicated a lazy stroll, everyone's eyes immediately locked onto Qi Xi, who was scratching her face somewhat awkwardly to the side.

"Ugh - it's mainly because I really don't feel like moving around after a meal. It feels so tiring to go shopping instead of comfortably lying down and playing games after a big meal."

Qi Xi explained in a low voice, glancing at Lin Qiu beside her. As if she had thought of something, she cautiously tugged at his sleeve.

Or, can you carry me on your back?

Understanding what the little guy meant, Lin Qiu's lips twitched, and his gaze subconsciously turned to Qin Yunmo beside him.

Qin Yunmo, however, failed to notice her subtle thoughts and casually remarked—

"Let's go for a walk together. A little exercise after dinner will help with digestion."

Look, since the empress has said so, I'll have to be blunt!

Seeing that Qin Yunmo had agreed, Qi Xi immediately rubbed her hands together with a smile.

You were so wary of me just now, but now you've agreed to this yourself, so don't think I'm cheating on you or anything.

Silently watching the class president who had been tricked, Lin Qiu's lips twitched. Just as he was about to say something, Ze Zhi across from him gave him a frantic look.

Why is this guy blinking his eyes?

Lin Qiu was a little confused and stunned for a moment, but when she gestured towards Qi Xi and glanced at Qin Yunmo, she immediately realized what was going on.

This isn't right, is it? I'll definitely get a beating from the class monitor afterwards!

You have other things to take care of, so hurry up and dump this little burden on Qin Yunmo!

Ze Zhi gestured, her gaze drifting towards Ying Ziyan...

149 - I really am neutral!

"call--"

"If you exhale again, I'll throw you over to Ziyan's side."

Feeling the hot breath that was clearly being deliberately exhaled from the back of his neck, Qin Yunmo glared at Qi Xi, this unruly little guy, with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

She's been sniffing incessantly since earlier, and now she's deliberately breathing on herself, making herself feel extremely uncomfortable.

I shouldn't have urged this guy to go out!

"Class monitor, you're quite perceptive."

Seeing Qin Yunmo's reddened ear tips, Qi Xi's joyful smile deepened.

She seems very uncomfortable with people being too close to her. She appeared calm even when she was standing so close to Lin Qiu, but she was actually panicking inside.

Hearing the little one's mutterings, Qin Yunmo immediately glared at her.

If it weren't for your prank, would I have ended up like this?

Meanwhile, Ying Ziyan, who was standing to the side, was quite satisfied to see Qin Yunmo being held back by Qi Xi, and her biggest unease was greatly relieved.

It seems that Zezhi is still trustworthy; things are really developing as she predicted.

What should we go shopping for first?

Ying Ziyan subtly approached Ze Zhi and asked him a question, wondering if this guy had any other tricks up his sleeve.

"Of course we're going to the clothing store, Sister Ziyan! Don't forget your figure advantage. You can pick out pretty clothes you like and also attract attention. It's the best of both worlds!"

"oh-"

Faced with Ze Zhi's eloquent explanation, Ying Ziyan nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, in terms of physique, no one present could match him; he held an absolute advantage!

Zezhi, from now on you'll be my relationship counselor!

"Let's go check out the clothes first?"

Ying Ziyan turned around and asked a question, but Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo's expressions both stiffened upon hearing it.

Am I going to end up being a bag carrier again?

"what happened?"

"Ah—it's nothing. What did you say, class monitor?"

"I... I'm fine with whatever."

Faced with Ying Ziyan's expectant gaze, Qin Yunmo couldn't bring himself to refuse and could only give a vague reply.

Qi Xi, on the other hand, nodded her little head enthusiastically, eager to see what these guys would look like in their new clothes.

"If Lin Qiu could tidy himself up and tone down that lazy and decadent aura, his attractiveness would probably increase even more! Don't you think so, Yun Mo?"

"Hmm—hmm? I don't know."

Qin Yunmo, who was about to nod, suddenly stopped and quickly denied it.

What Lin Qiu looks like has nothing to do with me!

"Hehe - we'll know soon enough."

Qi Xi glanced at Lin Qiu with a subtle look in her eyes, and she was actually quite looking forward to seeing his completely new look.

Although Qin Yunmo said he didn't know, his eyes still unconsciously looked at Lin Qiu, and the image of this guy in new clothes kept flashing through his mind.

"Ah, let's go with this one. The styles and fabrics are quite nice."

Ying Ziyan's gaze swept across the street, and finally settled on a shop with beautiful dresses in its window.

The evening gown is perfect for highlighting my figure!

Qin Yunmo and Qi Xi didn't notice her little scheme and assumed she had just randomly chosen a shop, so they went in together.

Before Lin Qiu could say anything, Ze Zhi leaned over and whispered a reminder—

"Remember to compliment me a lot when you try on the clothes later, otherwise you'll be glared at resentfully the whole way."

"..."

Putting aside the question of whether you'll get glared at to death, the real question is, whose side are you, you fish-stealing cat, on?

First you were getting so close to Ziyan, and now you're saying all this to me. You're starting to look like a double agent!

Lin Qiu looked at the sneaky-looking girl with suspicion. Based on her understanding of her, she was definitely up to something!

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just trying to protect myself. That way, when they start to fight, I can sit back and watch them fight it out."

Seeing Lin Qiu's subtle expression, Ze Zhi mumbled an explanation.

Neither side can afford to offend the other, so the only option is to watch them fight amongst themselves. Staying out of the fray is the safest way to win!

"conflict?"

"Cough—it's nothing, let's go inside quickly."

Without giving the guy a chance to ask questions, Zezhi pushed him by the back and walked into the shop.

The moment they entered, a free shop assistant appeared beside them as if in a flash, smiling and saying—

"Are you two a couple? How about trying on our best-selling casual couple outfits?"

"..."

Before the two could say anything, Ying Ziyan and the others in front of them immediately stared intently at them.

Are we all hallucinating or what? Has your relationship really gotten to this point?

Lin Qiu's lips twitched. Seeing the somewhat confused look on the shop assistant's face, he quickly explained—

"Um—we were with them."

"Ah? Ah—I understand, I understand. Excuse me, this way please."

As if she had imagined some incredible scenario, the shop assistant's expression suddenly became serious, and she quickly invited Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi to walk towards Ying Ziyan.

But when they caught up with the team, Qi Xi, not one to shy away from stirring things up, quipped—

"I didn't deny it."

Sensing the two intense killing intents that suddenly rose around them, Ze Zhi felt a chill run down his spine.

Damn it, you can't let your teammates down at a time like this! You're supposed to be neutral, don't drag me into this mess!

"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! She's misunderstood. If you went in with Lin Qiu, you would have been misunderstood too. You can ask her if you don't believe me!"

Sawa looked longingly at the shop assistant on the other side.

As the battle seemed to be turning in her favor, the shop assistant's eyelids twitched, but she quickly pretended not to know anything and turned her head away.

It was clearly you who wanted to sneak away!

Seeing the meaning in Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan's eyes, Ze Zhi felt terrible.

Should I have come along? I could have at least used a headset to contact support!

"Ahem—have you seen any clothes you like? Let's try them on first."

Seeing the atmosphere getting increasingly creepy, Lin Qiu quickly spoke up to calm things down, saying, "If this continues, this fish-stealing cat will be torn to pieces sooner or later!"

Ying Ziyan didn't forget her original purpose. After telling the shop assistant, she hugged the dress and ran into the fitting room.

Qin Yunmo stood there, unsure of what clothes to choose.

My own home is mostly furnished with men's clothes, while here there are more women's clothes, which don't really suit me.

"This gentleman..."

"cough!"

"Oh, miss, we have a few loose-fitting casual short-sleeved shirts over here, would you like to take a look?"

The shop assistant, seeing Qin Yunmo hesitate, was about to call him "sir" when she heard Lin Qiu cough. She immediately realized her mistake and changed her address...

150 - Xiaoxi still doesn't know exactly what happened at that moment.

"Um—could you please exchange this for one? This one's a bit too small..."

Ying Ziyan poked her head out from behind the curtain and asked, her face flushed.

I thought it looked like it would fit my size when I looked at it from the outside, but when I tried it on, it was a bit too small and a little tight.

"Gulp-"
