Chapter 14
"What gift?" Zhou Zhou instinctively replied.
"In the jacket of your school uniform that you wore today," Yan Xi said lightly.
Wait, aren't they familiar with each other?
A gift? Ah, I see.
I heard from Kong Jie that she's just a girl from a modest background who got in based on her grades. Such a background doesn't mean much at Qingteng University, especially during this special period.
It's only because of the current situation that he dares not take action and tolerates someone from such a family background. If it were any other time, he would have expelled her long ago.
He could probably guess her intentions.
"If you want to be a gold digger, don't come to me. Young Master Tuo is the one who likes you, right? You can go find him. After all, he seems quite infatuated with your pretty face," Zhou Zhou sneered.
Yan Xi remained silent.
Thinking that he had hit the mark with her reaction, Zhou Zhou knew that girls like her, who strive to enter Qingteng University with all their might but end up in the non-Western District, only do so to squeeze into the upper social circle.
He despised such people the most.
"I admire you. On the second day of school, you hooked up with Young Master Tuo, and by some means, you even got close to Qi Shi. But it's all futile. Don't worry, I won't let your days here be comfortable!" Zhou Zhou's threatening words came through.
[Pandora, can you increase your level of disgust? I'm definitely filled with it.]
[...]
[Pandora, did you make up a repulsive background for me?]
[No, not at all. Your family is well-off in the middle class, you're an only child, and both your parents are civil servants.]
Thinking that the other party had nothing to say, Zhou Zhou was about to hang up.
At that moment, a low chuckle came from the other end of the phone. It sounded somewhat delightful. After a while, Yan Xi finally spoke up: "Sorry, classmate Zhou Zhou. I was rude with my words today. I apologize," Yan Xi said, unexpectedly gentle and polite.
Apologized?!
That's truly unexpected!
"But... Classmate Zhou Zhou, it seems you haven't settled the cost of the medicine you accidentally damaged today. I contacted you this time for that reason. I know Classmate Zhou Zhou is different from someone like me, a gold digger. You won't refuse, right?" Yan Xi said in a warm tone.
Damn!
She really hit the mark, huh? Heh.
"... How much?"
"Well, I guess it should be a few million. After all, I am a gold digger," Yan Xi replied.
Zhou Zhou was shocked to hear that figure.
"Damn it, why don't you just rob me?!"
Is her touch made of gold? Just a slight touch is worth millions?
"Are you angry again? You're not thinking of denying responsibility, are you? Are you?" Yan Xi began holding a towel in one hand and a phone in the other.
"...."
[I think you're asking for trouble.]
[Apologies.]
Zhou Zhou was infuriated, about to explode.
"But compared to this compensation, I'd rather play a game with Classmate Zhou Zhou."
"I can take care of today's matter for you. Qi Shi won't report it, and you won't have to pay for the medicine either."
"Of course, the condition is that you have to win against me," Yan Xi said, each word calm and clear.
"But if you lose, I want to see you do a striptease."
"Remember to leave nothing behind, and do it in public," Zhou Zhou added, his voice brimming with malice.
Ah ha?
Zhou Zhou was anticipating her reaction. He didn't know why the malice had been surging since the moment he laid eyes on her. Even if today's incident hadn't happened, he would have eventually acted this way.
Because of what?
He wasn't entirely sure, but he knew that at the moment he saw her, an inexplicable desire for destruction arose within him.
Her face, unbelievably beautiful yet unreal, along with her false demeanor in front of others. He wanted to see her panic, to see her weep and sob, to see her lose her composure.
Yan Xi blinked her eyes, and there was a slight pause as she wiped her hair with the towel in her hand.
Then she tossed the towel onto the bed, turned her back to him, closed her eyes, and fell backward onto the bed.
She sank into the mattress, disheveled strands of hair pressing against her captivating eyes and brows, and she seemed to be starting to enjoy it.
"Sure."
"My requirement is... if you lose," Yan Xi's tone paused for a moment, then she said gently:
"Then kneel down and be-my-dog."
