54: Add more fire

"Me? I'm greedy? You're calling me greedy?"

Xie Wan was truly a little angry. She was clearly thinking of the other person, yet the other person, as if possessed, actually speculated about her like this, causing her to lose control and speak rashly.

"If I were truly greedy, do you think he would even spare you a second glance?"

Only after she said those words did she realize she had spoken wrongly.

Du Xixi responded with two cold sneers.

"So you finally told the truth, didn't you? That's what you really think. In your eyes, we are all just your supporting cast. Those boys should revolve around you, and as long as you wish it, no one will spare us a glance."

"I... Xixi, I just spoke rashly because I was anxious."

"Then promise me! Swear it! Swear that you won't like him.

Swear that even if he pursues you, you will reject him.

As long as you swear, I'll pretend what you just said was spoken in anger."

"Xiao Wan, just agree to Xixi. We're all roommates, and you have so many boys chasing you anyway. What's the big deal?"

"Exactly, exactly! Didn't you say you don't like that junior either? Agreeing to Xixi is just a small favor, isn't it?"

The other two people in the dorm also came out to mediate.

Xie Wan remained silent. She didn't feel she needed to make this so-called oath. In her view, liking or disliking someone was her own freedom, and she couldn't control her own thoughts for the sake of others, even if the request seemed reasonable.

The next morning, Shen Qian woke up early for his routine run. According to the situation last night, not running today would actually have been more effective.

If he didn't show up at the track today, Du Xixi would definitely appear at the entrance of his dorm building.

But Shen Qian was a professional scumbag, and a professional scumbag's cultivation was never to disrupt his own plans for the sake of others.

Du Xixi was indeed a very important bait, but no matter how important she was, she wasn't more important than self-improvement.

For a scumbag, self is always the top priority.

The track was lively today. Besides the usual runners, there were a few more girls. At 6:24, Shen Qian arrived at the track and immediately saw Du Xixi, as well as several girls from his class.

"San Ge, you're here!"

When the girls saw Shen Qian arrive, they immediately ran to his side. This sudden scene successfully pushed back Du Xixi, who had been trying to approach him.

"Since everyone is here, let's stretch and get ready to run."

After greeting the others, Shen Qian walked towards Du Xixi.

"Stretch out and prepare to run."

His tone was still so calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if last night's incident had never happened.

"Shen Qian, I'm wearing the athletic shoes you bought for me."

"Senior, you must be mistaken. I have never bought women's athletic shoes."

"Last night, I only went because Xie Wan said she wanted to have a social gathering with a senior."

"Senior, don't talk when you're not fully awake this early in the morning. Don't take me for a fool."

"I didn't..."

Unfortunately, Shen Qian didn't give her a chance to continue speaking. Instead, he walked to the other side to stretch and simultaneously guided the stretching movements of several female classmates.

After running 3 kilometers, not many people could keep up. Only Xu Ling managed to follow Shen Qian and complete the entire distance. Shen Qian hadn't expected Tan Xinxin's roommate to have such decent stamina.

"vice sports committee member, please guide me more."

"Likewise."

Shen Qian held Xu Ling briefly, knowing that this girl had a good figure, but her hairstyle was always so depressing that he couldn't clearly see what she looked like.

He had always thought she was a shut-in, but her athletic ability was surprisingly strong.

"You should change this hairstyle a bit. Running like this, your hair could easily poke your eyes and cause injury."

The two chatted while stretching. Du Xixi was running alone on the track, and just then, Xie Wan arrived again.

She was still so beautiful and stunning that even some girls in the class were speechless upon seeing the senior.

She scanned the track, walked past Shen Qian, and left one sentence.

"Tonight, at Xiang Flavor Restaurant, I want to talk to you."

"Here it comes. Last night's small spark seems to have ignited the powder keg. The high and mighty Goddess is starting to compromise."

"But Senior, it's not that simple. Whatever you try to fix, I will break, until you are afraid, until you lower your head."

Thinking this, Shen Qian walked towards Du Xixi. The girl had just finished running; today was the first time she had completed 3 kilometers by running the entire way.

Seeing Shen Qian approach, she excitedly raised her sports watch.

"Look, Shen Qian! I ran 3 kilometers today! I completed it by running!"

"Senior, please do me a favor and pass a message to Xie Wan: I'm not interested in her, so I won't be going to Xiang Flavor Restaurant tonight."

Sure enough, the moment he said this, Du Xixi's eyebrows furrowed sharply, and fire seemed to shoot from her eyes. But when she realized that Shen Qian had rejected Xie Wan, she felt a little happy for some reason.

There were indeed quite a few girls running today, and they seemed to be Shen Qian's classmates, but none of them were as good-looking as her. She only needed to apologize for another month, or spend a little more time, and her relationship with Shen Qian could return to how it was before.

But now, she was also certain of one thing: Xie Wan wanted to steal Shen Qian.

Shen Qian left, walking away very calmly. He didn't need to stay and see what would happen next. After all, the stage was set, the actors were in position, and they just needed to follow the script.

"San Ge, why didn't you agree to the senior? She's so pretty."

Xu Ling followed along, having witnessed the whole thing. In her subconscious, Shen Qian was a gentle and generous person, though his flaw was that he was a bit lustful.

But all men were lustful, yet not all men were Shen Qian.

She had originally thought Shen Qian would agree to the senior, but who knew this boy would directly refuse her.

"She is indeed quite pretty, but her arrogance is nauseating. She acts as if wanting to talk to me is some great favor."

"What about that other senior? I feel like that senior likes you too, and Xinxin likes you, and that girl from the last gathering.

San Ge, just how many girls like you?"

Shen Qian looked at Xu Ling, unable to see her eyes. So, he reached out and parted her bangs.

"What about you? Do you like me?"

"Seven points! Wow, she's a dark horse! The title of Class Beauty has always fluctuated between Tan Xinxin and Wen Ru. Turns out this girl is the hidden boss."
