With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Li Xiao still had a lingering sense of shock on his face when he looked up and saw Shen Ci walking towards him.

He quickly pulled his arm away from Lin Biqi's grasp, an instinctive action that made Lin Biqi pout and look up at him with displeasure.

Seeing Li Xiao's eyes flicker and look ahead with barely concealed excitement, Lin Biqi's eyes followed suit, and what she saw was the fair and beautiful Shen Ci.

She gave a pouty look, and the alarm instantly went off.

At this moment, Shen Ci also noticed Li Xiao and Lin Biqi beside her.

The moment Shen Ci saw Lin Biqi, she felt a chilling, tingling sensation spread from the soles of her feet upwards, like countless ants crawling across her insteps, hands, and back, finally exploding like static on a television screen in her head.

Shen Ci's pupils trembled slightly, and the inside of her forearm began to feel hot, itchy, and slightly painful subconsciously.

That was a side effect of being burned by a curling iron.

Lin Biqi, it's been a long time, you've finally arrived.

Just as those painful memories were about to resurface, Shen Ci calmly touched her right arm. The smooth touch instantly brought her back to reality and restored her rationality.

She walked straight toward the cafeteria door, ignoring Li Xiao's expectant face.

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback, then took off chasing after him.

"Brother Li Xiao!"

Seeing this, Lin Biqi stomped her foot in anger and quickly followed.

"Shen Ci! Shen Ci!"

Li Xiao's long legs rushed to Shen Ci in three steps and blocked her way.

Before Shen Ci could speak to send him away, he interrupted, "Shen Ci, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive yesterday. I apologize to you."

"Brother Li Xiao, who is she?" Lin Biqi approached and looked at Shen Ci with a wary expression.

Li Xiao didn't care about Lin Biqi at all. He looked at Shen Ci with an apologetic expression and deep affection and hurriedly explained, "I was so anxious when you ignored me, so I said those bastard things. I'm really sorry, Shen Ci. Please don't be angry."

"I'm not angry!" Shen Ci said softly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's face lit up with joy, and his fingers trembled with excitement: "Really? You're not angry with me anymore?"

He was about to lean in and hug Shen Ci when Shen Ci took a step back and stopped him in his tracks.

He froze, arms half-raised, his big eyes filled with confusion.

Shen Ci looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Because anything you say is not worth mentioning to me, and it will not affect me in the slightest."

"Hey! You're not allowed to talk to Brother Li Xiao like that!" Lin Biqi shouted at Shen Cijiao.

Although she didn't know who the girl in front of her was, or what had happened between her and Li Xiao, she just couldn't talk to Li Xiao in this manner.

"Qiqi, don't interrupt!" Li Xiao turned and glared at Lin Biqi, scolding, "This is between her and me!"

Lin Biqi was startled by Li Xiao's loud voice, and then her eyes welled up with tears, her thin lips trembled slightly, and she looked like she was about to cry from shock.

Li Xiao had never yelled at her so loudly before!

Shen Ci looked at Lin Biqi, clenched her teeth to suppress the surging hatred in her heart, and gave a disdainful sneer: "You scared your little white rabbit, hurry up and coax her."

After saying this, she turned to leave, and Lin Biqi's tears rolled down her cheeks at that moment.

But Li Xiao's reaction was to grab Shen Ci's wrist and anxiously explain, "Shen Ci, don't misunderstand, she's my sister."

Misunderstand?

younger sister?

Your sister would take risks for you, sneaking into someone else's dorm to steal your thesis, and afterwards even damaging your computer's hard drive, so that she couldn't even keep the original draft?

Your sister had two abortions for you, and you even deliberately sent the abortion certificates to her?

Your sister will get jealous of you, so you corner her in the bathroom and burn her forearm with a preheated curling iron?

Which of the evil deeds that Lin Biqi sowed in her could her sister have done?

Shen Ci took a deep breath and forcefully shook off Li Xiao's hand: "You don't need to explain your relationship to me."

“Shen Ci…”

Li Xiao was about to continue the fight when Qu Yang suddenly appeared and stepped in front of Shen Ci.

Shen Ci felt a shadow fall and block out the light, and when she looked up, she saw Qu Yang's broad back.

His height was similar to Li Xiao's, but as a student in the Department of Physical Education and the vice president of the basketball club, Qu Yang's physical fitness seemed to be several levels better than that of the rich second-generation Li Xiao.

"Don't bother her."

Qu Yang spoke softly, his voice calm and unwavering, revealing no emotion.

But Li Xiao was furious. He was already quite angry when he saw Shen Ci and Qu Yang talking, and now Qu Yang dared to interfere. Li Xiao glared at him and shouted, "Get out of the way! What the hell is this to you?"

Seeing this, Shao Yu and several other classmates rushed over to pull the two apart, fearing that they might start fighting over a disagreement.

USTC has very strict rules; fighting on campus will result in a major demerit.

"Oh dear, don't be angry, don't be angry. We're classmates, let's talk it out."

Several boys forcefully pulled Qu Yang away from Shen Ci and Li Xiao. Qu Yang tried to break free, but he couldn't withstand the combined efforts of three or four people.

"I'm fine, you can go now," Shen Ci said, looking at Qu Yang.

This matter had nothing to do with Qu Yang. He and Li Xiao lived in the same dormitory. If he jumped out like this, Li Xiao would definitely be angry with him.

When Qu Yang heard Shen Ci speak, he released his strength and let Shao Yu drag him away.

Once they were a bit further away, Shao Yu finally spoke up: "Are you crazy? Li Xiao and Shen Ci are still not clear about their relationship, why are you sticking your neck out for them!"

"Exactly. Even if you really like Shen Ci, the timing isn't right. Look at how Li Xiao keeps bothering her; it's obvious that you haven't broken up completely."

"If things really come to a fight, the Li Xiao family is rich and doesn't care, but you'll get a major demerit?"

His companions kept talking, but Qu Yang didn't hear a word they said, only occasionally turning around to check on Shen Ci's condition.

Seeing that Shen Ci turned and left without saying a word, and that Li Xiao did not chase after her, he finally felt a little relieved.

Li Xiao stared intently at Shen Ci as she left, only lowering his head after she had gone far away. Although Shen Ci had not forgiven him, he did not intend to give up.

Turning around, I found Lin Biqi standing to the side, her makeup ruined from crying.

He sighed silently and said in a low voice with a sense of helplessness, "Qiqi, I wasn't yelling at you just now. I just couldn't control my emotions. Don't cry."

Lin Biqi sniffled, looking aggrieved, and asked in a domineering tone, "Then let me ask you, who was that girl just now?"

"She's my girlfriend. We had a fight, and there was a misunderstanding," Li Xiao explained.

Although she had a premonition, hearing Li Xiao admit that the girl from earlier was his girlfriend made Lin Biqi feel like the sky had fallen.

"Brother Li Xiao! You actually have a girlfriend?" Lin Biqi screamed, then broke down in tears, wailing, "What about me? I came to USTC because of you, what am I to you!"
