Faced with Qin Xuan's questioning eyes,
Mo RuShuang pursed her lips and said, "For now, I'll trust Elder Sister. Before you arrived, she had convinced me."
It was obvious that the two of them had some private matters between them just now.
"What exactly happened?" Qin Xuan asked.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. I'll say it again - other than me and RuShuang here, don't trust the remaining seven if you run into them. The waters run deeper than you can imagine," Gu SiMin said suddenly.
Gu SiMin's mouth curled into a smile. "Especially the third sister, that sullen woman. I suspect she's the most suspicious. If you see her someday, capture her directly and bring her to me!"
The third elder sister, Huo BingYun.
The most suspicious?
Ever since Qin Xuan could remember, Huo BingYun had never smiled before. She rarely spoke as well, like a severe depression patient.
Regardless, she would spend her time researching disguise techniques.
She was unremarkable in martial arts and medicine, yet had honed her disguise skills to perfection!
"If third sister is determined to hide from me, I'd never be able to find her in this lifetime. Her disguise skills are more horrifying than plastic surgery," Qin Xuan sighed.
"We've lived together for so many years. Her face may change, but some habits never do," Gu SiMin said, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. "If the news is correct, she should have appeared at Yun Cheng University before. She could be one of the countless students, or even a professor. It's hard to say."
"You want me to enroll and try my luck?" Qin Xuan asked.
"Mm, I've already arranged it for you."
Gu SiMin took out an admission letter from Yun Cheng University. "The third sister is likely to be a major breakthrough. She definitely knows more than me!"
Qin Xuan's mind was in turmoil.
He'd never imagined his peaceful days would be disrupted like this.
From Elder Sister's equivocal attitude, he knew someone was making a major play in the shadows.
Moreover, Elder Sister definitely knew part of the inside story, but refused to speak of it for some reason.
"Three years, at most. If you can't recover all the wooden boxes within three years, you'll be the first to die!"
Gu SiMin's tone was unusually serious. "Conversely, if you get them all back, the highest wealth, power, status, even supremacy in martial arts, will all be within easy reach!"
Qin Xuan nodded, starting to treat this matter with utmost importance.
He must do his best to find all his sisters!
Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Gu SiMin suddenly grinned. "Went off track there. My junior brother still hasn't answered - who are you sleeping with tonight?"
"......"
Qin Xuan turned around and tried to run.
Lounging on the sofa, Gu SiMin lazily said, "You still can't beat me now. You can't escape."
Damn!
Qin Xuan felt helpless.
He secretly thought, whenever he could overpower her, he would definitely smack her butt swollen!
Midnight.
On a two-meter wide bed.
Qin Xuan lay stiffly in the middle.
Gu SiMin was on the left, Mo RuShuang on the right, like his left and right guardians. Qin Xuan didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The two women argued relentlessly, neither willing to compromise. Finally they settled on this arrangement, nobly named: Protect the junior brother, in case he falls victim to villainy!
"Junior sister, you'd better behave. Tang Seng's meat is precious, but not something you can get your hands on," Gu SiMin said.
"Same to you. If I can't have it, don't think you can get it either!" Mo RuShuang harrumphed.
The two women bickered with their sharp tongues, leaving Qin Xuan confused.
WTF was this Tang Seng meat they kept mentioning? It seemed like after learning some secrets, his once demure junior sister had passed through the gates to a new world, taking an increasingly unbridled path...
"I'm just a mysterious man," Qin Xuan sighed to himself.
The next day.
Qin Xuan escaped from the devilish clutches of his two sisters. Bringing his admission letter, he headed straight for Yun Cheng University.
At that time, in the English Department of Yun Cheng University's School of Foreign Languages.
The counselor Huang Jianhua walked into the classroom and announced, "We'll have a new classmate coming soon. Due to personal issues, he applied for delayed enrollment until today."
The few dozen students immediately broke into a commotion, asking whether it was a guy or girl.
The counselor said it was a male student.
The girls instantly grew excited.
The English major typically had a severe imbalance of men to women. In a class of over fifty, there were only around a dozen guys!
Sitting in the back row, Chen Yan and Liu Xinxin immediately started whispering to each other.
"Who knows if the new guy is handsome or not. If he's really good looking, Cheng Tao's position as the class heartthrob will be at risk. I bet he's pretty nervous now," Liu Xinxin giggled.
"As long as he's not ugly, he definitely won't lack a girlfriend in our class. The girls are like hungry wolves," Chen Yan said, suppressing a laugh.
"What if he turns out to be even more handsome than Cheng Tao? Would you consider giving up your first love then?" Liu Xinxin teased.
"Stop talking nonsense. I won't think about romance before graduation," Chen Yan laughed as she shook her head.
Just then.
A youth wearing army green sneakers slowly walked into the classroom.
Counselor Huang Jianhua immediately introduced to everyone, "Your new classmate, Qin Xuan. Let's give him a warm welcome!"
"......"
Everyone was stunned speechless.
What terrible fashion sense. Could it get any more country bumpkin?
Especially Chen Yan and Liu Xinxin - they were almost scared into crying out.
"Yan Yan, you said it was just a misunderstanding and he didn't actually like you. But this country bumpkin is clearly obsessed with you. He's latched onto you!"
Liu Xinxin gritted her teeth and said, "I've never seen someone so fake before. He deliberately rejected staying at your place, but now he pulls this. Back and forth with the mind games. What a despicable person!"
Chen Yan bit her lip, her expression somewhat ugly.
She easily guessed that it must have been her mother who secretly smoothed the way for Qin Xuan.
Otherwise, how could a village youth who hadn't even taken the college entrance exam suddenly get admitted to Yun Cheng University!
"He's just so fake. To think I felt bad last night and even found him a bit cool when he took on that whole group himself. Turns out..."
Chen Yan's face was ashen. "What is my mom thinking, giving Qin Xuan ample compensation so he'd continue treating me? Why does she have to try so hard to pair us up?!"
"It takes two to tango. Qin Xuan must have begged Aunt Lin. Otherwise, what would he have sacrificed to arrange this admission spot? It's just disgusting, this country bumpkin," Liu Xinxin said, clenching her fist.
Sensing the atmosphere was off, Huang Jianhua forced out a laugh to smooth things over. "Qin Xuan, go ahead and take a seat."
Ignoring everyone's stares, Qin Xuan walked toward the back row.
When he passed Chen Yan and Liu Xinxin, clear surprise flashed through Qin Xuan's eyes.
But the childhood friendship had already been unilaterally severed by Chen Yan. Qin Xuan only glanced at her and didn't linger.
"Look at him, still pretending. Always playing hard to get," Liu Xinxin muttered under her breath.
Chen Yan twisted her head to glare fiercely at Qin Xuan. Unable to restrain her anger any longer, she cried, "Qin Xuan, stop right there!"
"Yes?" Qin Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Do you still want face?!"
Chen Yan said furiously, "I already told you yesterday, we can't happen. Why do you always have to play these silly tricks?"
Whoa-
The classroom broke into astonished murmurs.
They could all smell the gossip.
The dozen-odd male students immediately revealed looks of disdain.
This country bumpkin actually dared to harass Chen Yan? Where was his confidence coming from?!
Qin Xuan frowned. He found this childhood friend more and more incomprehensible.
Ignoring Chen Yan, Qin Xuan continued walking toward the back.
As he passed by, every student made no attempt to hide their contempt for Qin Xuan, worried that he might sit near them.
"A person like him won't be welcomed anywhere he goes. Now only the last row has space left. If he sits there alone, how awkward and embarrassing for him!" Liu Xinxin said coldly.
The classroom desks were connected together row by row. If Qin Xuan sat alone in a row, it would be a huge blow to his self-esteem.
After all, the feeling of isolation wasn't something a youth could bear.
But just as everyone was secretly gloating,
A gentle voice came from the second last row on the far right, "You can sit here."
"!!!"
Everyone looked over in disbelief.
Xia Wanying!
The school belle had actually taken the initiative to invite Qin Xuan to sit next to her!
Chen Yan and Liu Xinxin exchanged a look, practically dumbstruck.
It is well known that currently, the two most eye-catching women in the entire Yuncheng University, apart from Xiang Tiange, are Xia Wanying.
Xiang Tiange is a senior student, usually quite mysterious, rarely appears on campus, and even goes to class randomly. Countless freshmen have run their legs off trying to catch a glimpse of her beauty every day, but have still not managed to see her even once, and can only look at photos.
Xia Wanying is the opposite. She comes from a poor family, with working-class parents and a grandfather who has been bedridden for years. She usually has to work hard to support her basic expenses.
Perhaps because of her humble origins, Xia Wanying is especially quiet, even somewhat timid, and when speaking she habitually stares at the ground, with a visible sense of inferiority.
But her looks are truly outstanding. Even Chen Yan, who thinks highly of herself, has to admit... her own brilliance is completely eclipsed by Xia Wanying!
This quiet and gentle girl actually took the initiative to invite Qin Xuan to sit next to her!
It completely broke their perceptions!
What the crowd doesn't know is that when Qin Xuan looked at Xia Wanying, his eyes also showed great surprise.
It turns out she's the girl who was taken away by Li Zeyang at the Jinmei Garden last night...
"No need, thanks."
Qin Xuan smiled at Xia Wanying and quickly sat in the last row, looking lonely.
The crowd was stunned again.
Such a delicate girl like Xia Wanying took the initiative to invite him, yet he actually rejected her?
However, even more terrible things were yet to come.
After being politely declined by Qin Xuan, Xia Wanying lowered her head, struggled for a while, then stood up and took the initiative to sit next to Qin Xuan...
"..."
The audience was silent.
If looks could kill, Qin Xuan would have been riddled with holes by now.
Especially Chen Yan, whose eyes were almost popping out, her face alternating between red and white, extremely embarrassed.
She had just said Qin Xuan was shamelessly pestering her.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Wanying pulled this stunt, leaving her completely humiliated!
