Chapter 28

Shi Liao Liao didn't expect to see Gu Xuezhao here. 

She stood next to a B-level student she had never seen before, with a delicate face carrying a sense of determination, like an independent little white flower.

Shi Liao Liao glanced at Lu Yanzhou. 

The latter still had a smile on his lips, but his whole body exuded an aura of "ordinary people stay away," and his gaze was fixed on... Gu Xuezhao's direction?

Shi Liao Liao's mouth twitched. 

What's going on? 

Suddenly noticed something different about Gu Xuezhao?

Xi Yan also noticed that Lu Yanzhou's gaze was a bit off, and followed his line of sight... When he saw the short "youth" who stood out from the others, he became slightly more interested.

Xi Yan had just returned to school due to some family matters and didn't know Gu Xuezhao, so he naturally didn't know what she was doing.

"He's very conspicuous."

Lu Yanzhou nodded.

Xi Yan continued to comment, "Fragile, looks like he could be easily blown away by the wind."

Lu Yanzhou continued to nod.

"Right."

Xi Yan's smile froze, and he looked at Lu Yanzhou next to him with some astonishment, who was looking very serious.

"Taken with him?"

Lu Yanzhou nodded. "Yes."

"Very special. If it were me, I would choose to keep him at home. So delicate, he shouldn't be out meeting people."

Xi Yan was shocked. 

Imprisonment play!? 

Is he really playing this big? 

And how did Lu Yanzhou, this straight guy, suddenly become interested in men!?

Just as he hesitated between letting this attractive person be for his friend or satisfying himself, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.

Xi Yan turned and met the beautiful but expressionless face of Shi Liao Liao.

"Master Xi, could you please lower your gaze a bit."

Xi Yan innocently blinked his phoenix eyes and then followed Shi Liao Liao's finger downwards...

A pot of unknown flowers, with pure white petals swaying in the wind.

Coincidentally, the pot of flowers was positioned cleverly right behind Gu Xuezhao.

Xi Yan: ...

Looks like he's stuck with broken flowers for life.

Shi Liao Liao was also speechless. 

At first, she thought Lu Yanzhou was looking at Gu Xuezhao, and everyone else present thought the same. 

Even the B-level student who brought Gu Xuezhao here straightened his back, looking very proud.

"Don't forget what we agreed on. I brought you here to participate, and afterwards, you owe me," Gu Xuezhao said, biting her lip with eyes filled with humiliation.

"I know."

"Shi Liao Liao!!"

As everyone was chatting, they saw a figure walking over in high heels, wearing a white dress despite the cold weather, showing off her slender legs, stunning everyone with her beauty.

Shi Liao Liao heard Bai Liye's voice from afar and couldn't help but sigh subconsciously.

["Here comes the troublemaker."]

Lu Yanzhou: "....."

Memories of the past suddenly started to haunt me.

Bai Liye grabbed Shi Liao Liao's arm and walked away, ignoring everyone's reaction.

"Everyone knows that Miss Bai likes Mr. Lu. Looks like this little servant is in for a hard time."

"Someone drugged Mr. Lu before, and Miss Bai fought her way through. Her punch even knocked out someone's front teeth."

"I hope she doesn't hit his face. I quite like that little servant's looks. I wonder when Mr. Lu will get tired of him."

Shi Liao Liao didn't hear any of the arguments.

She was puzzled at this moment, "Miss Bai, how did you get in?"

Bai Liye raised her hand to tidy up her wind-blown hair.

"My cousin teaches here, any problem?"

Shi Liao Liao gave a thumbs up.

The latter seemed quite satisfied.

Coughing, she got to the point.

"Um.."

"I'm just asking casually, no other meaning." 

Shi Liao Liao had a sacred and inviolable look: "As a qualified butler, I wouldn't tell you the young master's underwear color." 

Bai Liye stomped in embarrassment, "Who asked you that!" 

Shi Liao Liao shrugged, "Oh." 

Even if you asked me, I wouldn't know. 

Lu Yanzhou washes his own underwear. 

After a moment of embarrassment, Bai Liye saw Shi Liao Liao's relaxed gaze and, not knowing what she was thinking, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Hey..." 

"What type of girl do you like?" 

"Cough, I have a friend who asked me to ask. Don't get the wrong idea!" 

Shi Liao Liao didn't have much of a reaction. 

The beautiful eyes at the corner of his eyes just looked at her calmly. 

The pale and slender figure was as delicate as the expensive BJD dolls in her cousin's room. 

Her cheeks blushed slightly, she lowered her eyes, but her tone was filled with anger, "Just say something, anything, don't stare at me." 

"I like to dip rice into chili sauce from strangers on the street." 

"When returning scissors to others, I directly stick the scissors into strangers' heads." 

"I also like to wipe my runny nose with my hand and then wipe it on strangers' heads." 

"Oh, and my favorite is being able to flick boogers onto strangers ten meters away." 

Bai Liye: "..." 

Enough, I feel sorry for the strangers. 

"And..." 

"Shut up, don't say anymore!"

Bai Liye interrupted her.

"Are you doing this on purpose, Shi Liao Liao? Why would you say that?" Her eyes turned red.

It's all this person's fault. 

Why did he have to hold her back then? 

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have had any thoughts about the Lu family's property... No, about Lu Yanzhou's feelings.

Shi Liao Liao lowered her eyelashes and gently touched the reddened corner of her eyes. 

Looking at her helplessly, she softly said, "My lady."

"You asked me to say something, anything, as long as I don't keep staring at you."

Bai Liye's face turned red all of a sudden.

"You, you..."

"Bastard!"

She pushed Shi Liao Liao away, turned around, lifted her skirt, and ran off, leaving Shi Liao Liao standing there in confusion.

[What's wrong with her?]

Maru also looked puzzled: [Maybe she went back to borrow scissors?]

"Mr. Lu, your little servant has been taken away by Miss Bai. Aren't you worried she'll be bullied?" 

Xi Yan took his seat under the guidance of the venue staff, and poked the calm and composed Lu Yanzhou's arm.

Taking the champagne handed to him by the attendant calmly, Lu Yanzhou swirled the liquid in the tall glass, his tone meaningful, "Not necessarily."

Shi Liao Liao is capable; she can take care of herself.

Thinking of the teacher's complex expression when he told him what he saw when he went in and saw Shi Liao Liao trying to put an umbrella into a classmate's backside, a faint smile played on his lips, causing many onlookers to blush.

"The little servant has returned."

After Bai Liye, with red eyes, pretended nothing had happened and ran over, Shi Liao Liao appeared unscathed, leaving many people looking surprised.

What's going on here?

Stanton College has few people, a lot of money, and plenty of space.

Despite having various fully equipped venues, they were able to provide such a large open space for students to play games.

For the poor, simulation games are about making something out of nothing, while for the wealthy, it's about making sure it's as real as possible.

No one knew what game Bai Liye was playing, but the entire open space had been transformed into a pink and tender street.

On both sides were tables resembling shops, where high-ranking students sat at their chosen stalls, while waiters with trays served them food and drinks.

Sitting in the best position, Xi Yan waved at her, and Shi Liao Liao stepped out from the subordinate queue.

"Young Master Xi?"

Xi Yan tossed her a pen.

"The game rules require us to name our own shops, it's so troublesome. You write it for us."

Shi Liao Liao didn't move, looking towards Lu Yanzhou, who was almost shaking his champagne like it was urine.

Sensing her gaze, he raised his eyelids and nodded, "You write it."

Shi Liao Liao had no choice but to take the pen, take a few steps back, and contemplate the empty sign above.

Not sure what she was thinking, she looked serious, her hand strong and her wrist powerful as she wrote.

"Done." She closed the pen cap, exhaled lightly, her eyes showing appreciation as she looked at her own words.

Lu Yanzhou pressed down Xi Yan, who was about to stand up, and walked down first. 

Following Shi Liao Liao's gaze upwards, he saw several bold words written on the originally blank shop sign—

"For Sale"
