164: A fight broke out.

"Right, if you don't want me to tell Tan Xinxin, then kiss me too, and you have to be wearing that cosplay outfit!"

Shen Qian rubbed his chin. Wasn't this girl socially anxious? How did she dare to propose such a condition?

Since that was the case, he might as well go with the flow and show off some of his acting skills.

"Who do you think is prettier, Xie Wan or Tan Xinxin?"

As soon as he asked this, Xu Ling immediately fell silent. Xie Wan was too beautiful; even if Tan Xinxin was pretty, she wasn't even in the same league compared to Xie Wan.

"You can go ahead and tell Tan Xinxin that I kissed Xie Wan. Let's see who's more afraid then—me or her.

If you don't tell her, she can still be my Girlfriend in name and enjoy the benefits I give her.

But once you tell her, for the sake of her reputation, she'll have no choice but to break up with me..."

"She won't break up with you."

Shen Qian's mind raced. Xu Ling's words were very interesting. Why was she so certain that Tan Xinxin wouldn't break up with him over this? The only possibility was that Tan Xinxin had told her something, showing a level of magnanimity that exceeded that of an ordinary woman.

"Even if she doesn't break up with me, I'll still tell her that you used her to blackmail me because you wanted to kiss me."

This time, Xu Ling was truly dumbfounded. It could only be said that one wrong move led to another.

She was the one blackmailing him, that was true, but now, somehow, in just a few sentences, the tables had turned.

"How can you do this?"

"Why can't I? Let's see if she believes you or me.

I don't need to tell you about the relationships in girls' dorms; you should know better than I do.

When the time comes, not only will Tan Xinxin blame you, but the other two will also ostracize you."

"What do you want!"

"Nothing much, I just want to tell you: don't threaten me. Threats don't work on me.

Now it's my turn to threaten you.

Kiss me, or I'll tell Tan Xinxin about what happened this morning.

You wouldn't want people to know that you're coveting your Roommate's Boyfriend, would you?"

"This..."

"I suggest you hurry up. People will be coming to the Sports Field soon. I don't mind being seen, but what about you?"

The girl panicked. She hurriedly stood on her tiptoes and pecked Shen Qian on the cheek.

"Hmm, not bad. Since you get up pretty early anyway, starting tomorrow morning, you'll be our lookout."

"What!"

"Your appearance reminded me that the two of us are indeed a bit reckless. Sometimes we get carried away and don't notice if anyone is watching.

So, starting tomorrow, you'll be our lookout, or I'll tell Tan Xinxin about you kissing me."

"Fine." The girl looked reluctant on the surface, but she was secretly happy. Before, she always felt uneasy because she was peeking, but now that he had made such a request, she could watch openly.

Although she felt a bit sorry for Tan Xinxin, Tan Xinxin herself had said before that she didn't mind sharing. So, it seemed fine as long as she kept it a bit of a secret.

"Good morning, Student Shen."

While he was running, Song Mengyuan rushed out from the other side of the track and greeted Shen Qian enthusiastically.

"Student Shen is quite lucky with women, always surrounded by pretty girls."

Shen Qian ignored her and continued running. Du Xixi, on the other hand, was quite displeased. This girl's sudden appearance had disrupted her original rhythm. More importantly, during this morning run, Shen Qian was hers. She no longer hoped for him to be with her all the time, but she didn't want anyone to disturb this special time.

"Student Shen, why aren't you going to the Comic Convention anymore? There are still many interesting things later."

"Student Shen, do you want to have breakfast together after we finish running?"

"Student Shen, don't be so cold. You were much cuter when you were cosplaying that day."

The girl chattered away beside him. Shen Qian just listened without saying much, only replying occasionally with a perfunctory attitude.

"Can you stop talking? Can't you see we're running? Who talks while running in such cold weather?"

Du Xixi finally couldn't hold it back anymore.

"What does me talking to Student Shen have to do with you?"

"I'm his friend. Don't you think it's very rude to keep talking like this?"

"Interrupting while I'm talking to someone else is what's called rude!

If Student Shen really thought I was annoying, he would naturally tell me to leave. You're just a dog catching mice—meddling in things that aren't your business!"

"What did you say!"

As the two of them argued incessantly, Shen Qian simply accelerated, leaving them both behind.

Seeing Shen Qian speed up, the two didn't bother to follow; the tension between them flared up instantly.

"I said you're meddling. You think I don't know who you are? A second year senior, an old woman should just step aside. Trying to be a cougar eating young grass, ptooey, how low."

"You dead green tea, you smelly b*tch, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Come on then! Let Shen Qian see your true colors. You think I'm afraid of you!"

[Women are fighting over you while you quietly disappear. Behavior matches scumbag standards. Rewards being issued...]

[achievement Unlocked: Fight For Me]

[achievement Unlocked: Pull Her Hair]

[scumbag behavior recorded]

The system notification sounded, and only then did Shen Qian see that the two girls were actually fighting.

"What the hell is going on!"

He thought they would just exchange a few insults at most, but who knew Du Xixi would actually get physical.

"What are you doing? Break it up!"

"What are you doing!"

Shen Qian's voice rang out almost simultaneously with Xie Wan's.

Slap! Shen Qian first pulled the two apart, while Xie Wan raised her hand and slapped Song Mengyuan.

After that slap, the world seemed to go silent.

Even Xie Wan herself was stunned after delivering the slap.

"You dare hit me!"

"Enough!!!"

Seeing that Song Mengyuan was about to go after Xie Wan, Shen Qian roared.

"Song Mengyuan, what exactly do you want? You've been approaching me since before, and now you're fighting with my friend.

Xie Wan, take Xixi back first. I'll handle things here."

"Shen Qian, I..." Du Xixi knew Shen Qian was angry and wanted to explain something.

But Shen Qian just patted her shoulder and glanced at Xie Wan.

"I'll handle it! You guys go first."

"How can they leave? She slapped me! She slapped me!"

Song Mengyuan cried out, feeling wronged.

"I know, I saw it. That's why I'm staying to handle the issue with you.

Although Du Xixi has a bit of a temper, she would never hit someone without reason. You must have provoked her, and you provoked her mostly because of me. Tell me your conditions—do you want money, or something else?"

"You really are as smart as I thought!

I want you! Accompany me to an amusement park."
