107: The trick depends on who uses it.

"Senior Xie, you can't just make things up out of thin air. Tell me, who did I kiss to leave their face and neck covered in saliva?"

Shen Qian looked at Xie Wan with a smile; he didn't believe this woman would dare to say it was herself.

"Who you kissed? How should I know?"

Xie Wan's voice was still cold, without a hint of emotion.

Shen Qian couldn't help but marvel at Xie Wan's destructive power. With just two sentences, she had completely ruined the atmosphere between him and Feng Qinmian.

Even though she arrived later, she didn't leave until Feng Qinmian and Shen Qian had finished eating. It was only when they stood up that she finally moved.

"Xie Wan, do you have some business with Junior Shen?"

"One of the girls pursuing him is my best friend from my dorm. I have to keep an eye on him for her, so he doesn't get snatched away by other women."

"That doesn't sound like you."

"I'm not that close to you, so it's normal that you don't understand me."

Xie Wan was cold and proud. With this attitude, even the good-natured Feng Qinmian found her difficult to deal with, so she stopped talking to her.

"Junior Shen, club activities are 2-3 times a week. Remember to come then."

"This Friday, we'll have a welcoming event. Everyone in the club will go out for a meal together, so remember to come."

"Senior Feng, can I bring my Girlfriend?"

Feng Qinmian thought for a moment.

"It's a club activity, so theoretically, it's not really allowed."

"An activity where you're not allowed to bring your Girlfriend—how could it be any good?"

Feng Qinmian's brow twitched slightly, and she pinched her fingers.

"Xie Wan, Junior Shen isn't your Boyfriend, so you have no right to control him. Besides, your roommate is only pursuing him; she doesn't own him."

"Finally, interrupting when others are speaking is very rude!"

"I've really had my eyes opened today. The icy Goddess Xie is actually such a busybody and so talkative."

"If you feel unhappy, then just leave."

Shen Qian suddenly felt that Xie Wan had some real skill. She might not say much, but every word she spoke seemed to land a critical hit. Combined with that iceberg face, she dealt extra damage.

"Junior Shen, this is the first gathering after all. Of course, if you insist on bringing your Girlfriend, it's fine. Even if you don't want to attend, it doesn't matter."

"No, Senior Feng, our club is very interesting. I'll definitely go."

"As for my Girlfriend, I'll see if anyone else in the club brings theirs. If no one else does, then I won't either."

"The President and Vice-President are both single. Not allowing Girlfriends was actually their idea, mainly because they're afraid of being fed dog food."

"I think they just want to steal someone else's Boyfriend."

Xie Wan turned her head, her iceberg-like face facing Shen Qian.

"It's for the best if you're lured away, so Du Xixi can see your true colors and stop being so obsessed with you."

"Junior Shen, I'll be going now. If you have any more questions about the club, you can contact me by phone. Of course, besides club matters, if you need help with anything else, you can also look for me."

Feng Qinmian really couldn't stand Xie Wan's cold remarks anymore. She gave Junior Shen a final word and left immediately.

With Feng Qinmian gone, Xie Wan also wanted to leave immediately.

"Where are you in such a hurry to go, Senior Xie?"

In the small woods of the campus at night, there were always some rustling sounds. Besides those, there were also the sounds of conversations deliberately kept low.

Shen Qian pulled Xie Wan's hand, passing by one tree after another.

Finally, they found an empty corner.

"How did I not notice before that you're so talkative?"

"Du Xixi likes you. Even if you want to break up, Du Xixi must be the first candidate."

"But you ruined my good deed. That was a famous great beauty in the school, and you just messed it up."

"I don't care about that."

The girl stubbornly turned her head away.

"You have to compensate me," Shen Qian said, gently pinching her chin to make the girl face him.

This time, Shen Qian didn't take the initiative; the girl did. Their lips met, and they held each other tightly.

As they kissed, neither of them stayed well-behaved. Darkness always brings ambiguity and stimulates one's courage.

"Don't touch."

The girl's voice was very soft. It sounded like a protest, but it was more like she was acting spoiled.

"I said, you have to compensate me."

"Can we do it later? I don't want to do it here."

At this point, the timing was about right. Shen Qian withdrew his hand and hugged the girl again.

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them finally calmed down.

"You said before that you would help me restore my relationship with Du Xixi. Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

"Because I don't want to help you. After I help you, where would I go to kiss such beautiful lips?"

"You lied to me?"

"It's not exactly lying, I just want to add a condition."

"What condition?"

"Even if I help you two repair your relationship, you have to kiss me from time to time."

The girl hesitated slightly. Obviously, she knew this was Shen Qian's scheme; he wanted to trap her step by step like this.

Girls aren't fools. They actually know all about men's schemes, including Shen Qian's logic of renewing the fee every three days.

What's effective is never the scheme itself, but the person using it.

If a girl likes you, she'll want to visit your home regardless of whether your cat can do a backflip or not.

If a girl doesn't like you, even if you hang yourself in front of her, she'll just think you're on a swing.

"Okay, but it can't be too frequent, and Du Xixi can't find out."

[Achievement Unlocked: Self-Deception]

The system's notification sound rang out at just the right moment. Shen Qian thought to himself:

"Women are just like this, saying one thing and meaning another. But since she wants such a reason, let her use it. Anyway, if she keeps lying to herself, she'll eventually believe it."

"When are you going to help me?"

"Now."

"What?"

The two walked out of the woods. As they walked, Shen Qian made a call, and it was quickly answered.

"Du Xixi, can you please do something about your roommate?"

"Ah? What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"I'm near Cafeteria No. 3. Come here and take her away."

Until the call was disconnected, Xie Wan didn't understand what Shen Qian was trying to do.

"When she gets here, don't say anything, just listen to me. As for what to say when you get back, unless you're a fool, you'll naturally understand."

Du Xixi arrived quickly, but the moment she saw Xie Wan, her excited expression visibly cooled down.

"What happened?"

"Senior Feng and I are in the same club. We were eating together and discussing the upcoming club dinner."

"Xie Wan kept making trouble there, and in the end, Senior Feng was driven away by her anger!"

"I asked her what she was trying to do, and she said you like me and won't let me get too close to other women. Du Xixi, this is too much! You actually found someone to watch me!"
