Young Master Shen shattered a soup ladle. However, it must not be his fault, but due to the poor quality of the spoon.
This incident diverted Qi Zizhi’s attention and also summoned the manager of Fuyuan Restaurant over. The manager personally cleaned up the mess, replaced the broken ladle with a new one, and took the staff downstairs to give them a stern talking-to.
These series of actions were smooth and fluid, without a hint of a hitch.
After the manager finished reprimanding his staff, he went off to attend to other matters. The waiters had no complaints. They were seasoned professionals who served only distinguished guests. They all knew what to say and what not to say and that if they saw something, they needed to pretend they didn’t see anything.
Jiao Bai slipped away into the restroom, feeling anxious.
“Am I still doing this mission or not? If not, I’m going to head back. I still have a lot of homework to do.”
【Player Jiao Bai has raised doubts about the game rules and appears to be challenging them. Second warning! 】
Jiao Bai: “...”
【After three warnings, the player will be vghoodc. 】
Jiao Bai took a deep breath and forced a smile, showing eight teeth as he said, “I'm not angry. I'm not angry.”
He exited the restroom and when he passed by the eastern lounge, an electronic voice suddenly blared.
【The mission details have been extracted.】
【Player Jiao Bai, please educate the target on a topic you choose for three minutes inside this lounge. You must also ensure that the target feels nauseated but doesn't leave, and shed five drops of tears. You have eight minutes remaining. The countdown begins now. 】
Jiao Bai rolled his eyes so hard they nearly hit the ceiling. What kind of crazy mission is this?
“Who’s supposed to cry? Be clear. Don’t beat around the bush. Just keep it simple.”
【The player must shed five drops of tears. The tears must fall directly from their eyes without touching the face. The use of external force to cheat is prohibited.】
Jiao Bai chuckled gently. Etbj xnt.
Eight minutes... Within that time, he had to get Qi Shuang from Room 302 to this place, meet with him alone, conduct a three-minute lesson, and on top of that, shed five etbjhmf drops of tears!
Why did you choose this lounge? Why did you only finish extracting the mission details now? What were you waiting for? Jiao Bai grumbled while changing out of the waiter uniform. He took off his school uniform, only to reconsider and put it back on. Next, Jiao Bai pinched his thigh hard enough to make his eyes well up with tears before he ran to find Liang Dong. With red eyes, he said, “Can you help me call Qi Shuang over? I’ll be waiting for him in the eastern lounge.”
Liang Dong was waiting for the guests his family had invited and was getting quite irritated from waiting. When he heard Jiao Bai’s suppressed sobs and saw his rabbit eyes, he felt refreshed and invigorated. “You said the wrong name, right? Are you sure you want me to call Qi Shuang and not someone else?”
The expression on Jiao Bai's face was very complex and melodramatic. “Please.”
“Call me Daddy,” said Liang Dong, shaking his leg.
Jiao Bai: "..." Wanna test whether Laozi will rlzrg xntq gdzc in?
“Help me this time, and I’ll return the favour. Aren’t you trying to win over that female classmate? I can help with that,” said Jiao Bai.
Liang Dong immediately felt disgusted, like he had eaten a green fly. During the afternoon physical education class, he had still been planning out how to pursue that junior female student. However, by the time school was over, she had already become someone else’s girlfriend. Life was indeed this dramatic.
“You’re etbjhmf doing this on purpose, right?!” Liang Dong narrowed his eyes. He had suddenly become smarter.
Jiao Bai blinked. Yup, it’s on purpose[1].
“You definitely etbjhmf doing it on purpose!" Liang Dong sneered. “You want to see Qi Shuang, right? Fine, Laozi will help you.”
Liang Dong’s plan was to watch from the sidelines. He intended to call someone to bring him a pot of tea and a bag of melon seeds, and eat and drink while enjoying the show.
To his surprise, the first thing Qi Shuang did when he saw Jiao Bai in the lounge was push Liang Dong out and lock the door.
“Why are you here?” Qi Shuang was on high alert. This guy used to be very timid, but after the last showdown, he became a different person. This guy could easily make him lose control, and this time was no exception. He glared at the school uniform on the other person. He was about to flip out.
“Third High’s uniform… Why are you going to Third High?” Qi Shuang’s voice was trembling, “Ah! Wang Chuqiu!”
“How did you get involved with Liang Dong? How did you get him to help you to bring me here? What did you promise him? Did you sleep with him? How many times have you two done it? Did you go down on your knees again?” Qi Shuang’s words began to turn malicious. He suspected that this person was in Class 7. Why didn’t he receive any news about this?
Jiao Bai looked at his phone. He didn’t have much time left. “Yes, I'm in Class 7.”
There was dead silence in the lounge.
Qi Shuang asked softly, “Where are you sitting?”
Jiao Bai said, “Your original seat.”
Qi Shuang clapped his hands and laughed heartily, even showing his gums. “Good, good, very good. What a lucky coincidence.”
His smile gradually faded, and he looked at Jiao Bai with eyes filled with loathing as if he had applied quack ointment on him. “Going to Third High is one thing but you’re even in Class 7. Okay, fine, be in Class 7 all you want. But of all seats, you sit in my seat. This is... “
Jiao Bai finished his sentence, “God's will.”
Qi Shuang: “...”
“Wang Chuqiu, Chuqiu, Big Brother Wang. I’ll call you big brother, okay?” Qi Shuang walked towards Jiao Bai, looking like a pitiful person who was always on the disadvantaged losing side. “Things have already reached this stage, don’t cause trouble for me, okay? I’m getting married at the beginning of next month. The Master...”
Jiao Bai covered Qi Shuang's mouth and laughed grimly into his ear. “So much time has passed, yet that matter still hasn’t rotten in your stomach yet? Little Young Master, your digestive system must be really poor.”
Although Jiao Bai kept his voice at a volume that only Qi Shuang could hear, he still tensed up and quickly glanced at the closed doors of the rooms. For this mission, did he really just need to give Qi Shuang a three-minute lecture and shed a few tears? Were there any hidden traps?
“Little Young Master, some things have already happened and are in the past, so don’t bring it up again. Let the trouble rot and rot thoroughly.” Jiao Bai’s cheek twitched.
Qi Shuang could see Jiao Bai's vigilance and cautiousness. Oh, that’s right. They were on the same boat. If he was exposed, the Shen family would know that this person had schemed against them and this person would die a terrible death.
“Mmm... mmm!” Qi Shuang struggled.
Jiao Bai put down his hands and threw him aside. Educational lesson, educational lesson, from which angle should I approach this to ensure it’ll be lower-risk and won’t touch on dangerous topics?
Got it!
“Do you know how much I envy you?” Jiao Bai said, pressing down on Qi Shuang's small rounded shoulders.
Qi Shuang: “...I don't know.”
“I envy you so much.” Jiao Bai began to wail. “Really, I envy you.”
The topic changed so abruptly and in such a baffling way. It was also completely irrelevant to what they were just talking about. For a moment, Qi Shuang forgot his anger and panic and stood there stupidly.
Jiao Bai, while bawling, ended up shedding real tears. “Your elder brother... is so good. He treats you so well it makes me envious.”
“When you had that allergic reaction, he came to Qinxin Estate that very night to inquire about the situation and asked me many things.” A look of reminiscence appeared in Jiao Bai’s moist eyes. “At that time, I thought to myself, how great it would be to have a brother like that.”
Qi Shuang caught on and sneered. “You’re saying all this because you want to become my sister-in-law?”
“You’ve misunderstood,” Jiao Bai said as a tear rolled out of his eye and fell through the air. “Your eldest brother’s affection for you makes me think of my own family.”
Qi Shuang mocked, “Oh, your family, who got rich using the money they got from selling you.”
Jiao Bai: “...” Yes, only you have a mouth.
