For a second, Wen ZhiChu couldn’t even believe what he heard. He instantly coughed out the water that he just drank.
“I… cough…coughcough……”
Hacking terribly, even Wen ZhiChu’s voice shook.
Seeing his intense response, Qin JiaShu hastily raised a hand to pat the other’s back. His calm and composed face carried a rare look of defeat and incredulousness: “Are you okay?”
Face flushed red from coughing, Wen ZhiChu: “I… cough I……”
Because water had entered his nostrils, Wen ZhiChu wrinkled his upturned nose in discomfort.
Qin JiaShu saw this: “If you can’t speak, you can first……”
“I’m fine.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
Can’t speak words, so started speaking English.
Wen ZhiChu’s face was bright red. He sniffed occasionally, clearly not expecting to spew water for a second time. His clear limpid eyes carried a daze, as if blaming himself for causing trouble.
Qin JiaShu looked at the drop of water hanging from the other’s chin and swallowed hard: “Be more careful while drinking water in the future.”
Wen ZhiChu turned his head and looked at Qin JiaShu incredulously.
Be careful of what?
Be careful of you?
As Wen ZhiChu recalled Qin JiaShu’s words a second ago, a hand suddenly appeared in front of his face. The bony fingers looked extremely elegant and beautiful. The hand pulled out a piece of napkin. The next second, Wen ZhiChu felt a gentle wipe on his chin.
Wen ZhiChu stiffened instantly.
[System: Feel touched?]
Wen ZhiChu: “Don’t dare. , don’t dare.”
Skycat Genie: ……
Although somewhat scared, Wen ZhiChu felt that since he had rejected Qin JiaShu, this was somewhat inappropriate.
Timidly taking the napkin with his hand, he observed Qin JiaShu’s expression: “I… I can do it myself.”
However, seeing the concern in Qin JiaShu’s eyes, Wen ZhiChu couldn’t help but bite his lower lip. He had no choice but to admit, Qin JiaShu was really very good-looking.
Recognizing this peculiar thought in his heart, Wen ZhiChu hastily shifted his gaze.
Qin JiaShu didn’t say anything either. Since Wen ZhiChu felt uncomfortable with his actions, he will pay more attention in the future. According to the book, he needed to close their distance subtly and imperceptibly. This meant he needed to integrate himself into things the other may not even realize subconsciously, to make the other gradually become accustomed with his presence.
After wiping his chin, Wen ZhiChu took out more napkins to wipe away the water he coughed out. He apologized to Qin JiaShu, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Qing.
“So..sorry about that.”
Zhou Qing looked at him in shock.
Damn! So they were able to see her all along!
Wen ZhiChu was stunned briefly, thinking that his hacking behavior had made Zhou Qing unhappy. He hastily started to apologize more.
Zhou Qing asked one step ahead of him: “You can see me?”
Wen ZhiChu: ?
Wen ZhiChu looked at the other’s incredulous expression and thought she was facing something unspeakable that’s too embarrassing to mention. He asked cautiously: “Should… I not see you?”

Zhou Qing’s gaze moved between Qin JiaShu and Wen ZhiChu: “Whatever you want.”

Starting tomorrow, she was going to re-establish her previous tacit understanding with Wen ZhiChu and be selectively blind together.
After cleaning up the table, Wen ZhiChu finally let out a breath of relief.
Seeing such a huge response from the other, Qin JiaShu thought perhaps his words were too deliberate, which caused the other to be so surprised. This time he decided to let the other drink first before speaking.
However, now that he’s not speaking, Wen ZhiChu also stopped drinking as well.
The water bottle was placed to the side. Wen ZhiChu showed no signs of planning to move it.
Unable to drink properly the last two times, he must still be thirsty right now.
The Secret White Lotus Technique #1, part 2: While speaking, showcase your concern towards your target to highlight your care and consideration.
Qin JiaShu recited this line in his heart and felt there were no problems before drily speaking out a few words: “Take a drink.”
After saying this, his face instantly darkened. Clearly, this sentence did not achieve the desired effect that he wanted.
Wen ZhiChu shook his head: “No…no need.”
Qin JiaShu: ?
He saw the other say somewhat bashfully: “After…after a first and second time, there’s no third.”
Then, when he looked up, he saw Qin JiaShu’s heavy expression.
Wen ZhiChu instantly jumped like a startled little chick: “Ah! Suddenly, I’m…I’m thirsty again.”
Saying this, he hastily grabbed the water bottle next to him and took a few gulps.
Qin JiaShu: ……
Everything has already gone completely off track.
As Ji FengChang looked at the messages on his phone, thinking if he should skip class today, he saw Qin JiaShu entering the classroom.
Looking at the small crack on the person’s usually perfect mask, Ji FengChang stepped forward curiously: “What’s going on?”
Qin JiaShu turned to look at him. Words were completely unnecessary.
Relying on their many years of broship, Ji FengChang looked completely in the loop: “The sports beverage you drink regularly sold out?”
“……”
Qin JiaShu deliberated for a moment, but still ended up asking: “The books you gave me, are they really useful?”
A look of astonishment appeared on Ji FengChang’s face: “Damn, you really read them?!”
Seeing his reaction, Qin JiaShu frowned.
Ji FengChang hastily explained: “Of course they’re useful. I’m only shocked that you read them.”
Saying this, he bumped Qin JiaShu’s shoulder.
“How was it? Did you use it or not? How was the effect?”
For a second, the air seemed to have frozen, a cursed kind of silence.
Looking at Qin JiaShu’s face, there was probably no better answer than that.
The corner of Ji FengChang’s mouth twitched: “How about… how about you tell me what happened?”
Qin JiaShu glanced at him and then gave a general explanation of the situation just now.
Ji FengChang: ……
After hearing this, Ji FengChang went from curious to surprise, then to understanding. The things that Qin JiaShu described seemed rather unreasonable at first, but since it occurred to Qin JiaShu, strangely, everything made sense. Sure enough, God was fair. No matter how perfect a person seemed, they had flaws.
Ji FengChang cleared his throat: “Qin-dog, have you ever considered that the books are not the issue?”
Qin JiaShu: ?
JI FengChang: “Maybe it’s because the person is inept.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
Ji FengChang helped him organize his thought process: “Don’t you think you’re lacking a bit of something?”
Qin JiaShu had no hint of self-doubt on his face: “Lacking what?”
Ji FengChang: !
Damn, this asshole was not even embarrassed to ask.
Ji FengChang tapped the blackboard: “Warmth! Of course, it’s warmth!”
“Just look at you. The other person is choking on water. Yet instead of giving them comfort, you tell them to be more careful next time.”
Qin JiaShu thought pensively. Ji FengChang’s words sounded a bit reasonable.
However, compared to knowing the development of Qin JiaShu’s relationship, Ji FengChang was even more curious about the identity of the person he likes.
Love, when it occurred to others, was natural. When it’s Qin JiaShu, however, it’s an iron tree blossoming.
Ji FengChang looked at Qin JiaShu and asked sordidly: “Qin-dog, who is that person?”
Qin JiaShu: “You don’t need to know.”
Ji FengChang gave him a look of disdain. Asshole, even if you don’t tell me, I can find out.
Right now, he already gained a general grasp of the range. Since Qin JiaShu used the techniques from the books today, the other person must be in this school. Through gradual screening, they should be discovered very quickly.
After considering Ji FengChang’s words, when Qin JiaShu returned home at night, he took out <<The Secret White Lotus Techniques>> and decided to conduct some in-depth research.
On Friday when he went to the activity room, Wen ZhiChu didn’t bring a water bottle. Seeing this, Skycat Genie asked curiously.
[System: How come you’re not bringing water?]
Wen ZhiChu: “In case something unexpected happens.”
[System: Speak human.]
Wen ZhiChu: “I’m afraid to embarrass myself.”
Skycat Genie: ……
After so many instances of societal death, why’s his skin still so thin?
After Wen ZhiChu walked into the activity room, Zhou Qing deliberately coughed and cleared her throat: “Cough cough!”
Hearing the sound, Wen ZhiChu looked over and said in concern: “Zhou Qing, is…is your throat uncomfortable?”
Zhou Qing waved her hand dismissively: “No, I’m just clearing my throat.”
Saying this, she stretched her neck out to look behind him.
“Where’s Mu Qing and her deskmate?”
Wen ZhiChu explained: “Mu Qing has been feeling a lot of pressure lately so she just wants to relax a bit during free time.”
Hearing this, Zhou Qing held on to one last strand of hope: “What about her deskmate?”
She saw Wen ZhiChu give an innocent smile: “Her…her deskmate is accompanying her.”
Zhou Qing: ……
Zhou Qing instantly felt restless and worried. It’s not that Qin JiaShu and Wen ZhiChu made her feel uncomfortable, but rather only she knew this gargantuan secret of Qin JiaShu liking Wen ZhiChu. Therefore, she felt extremely stuffed up. Nevertheless, she couldn’t just say it outright under this kind of circumstance.
This was just like if you had one billion yuan, but couldn’t show off the slightest or boast about it.
Right now, what she really wanted was to share this secret with someone. Yet at this crucial moment, those who were meant to be here weren’t present.
The class bell rang. Qin JiaShu walked into the activity room.
Zhou Qing looked at the two people sitting together and silently sighed. Sure enough. The brave is always alone!!!
In the past three days, Qin JiaShu has been marinating in <<The Secret White Lotus Techniques>> and has already mastered the manner and technique of speaking like a White lotus. Right now, he felt very confident facing Wen ZhiChu.
However, he didn’t display his skills while tutoring Wen ZhiChu. After all, a strict teacher produced excellent students. Wen ZhiChu’s education cannot be lax. The main reason was also because he was afraid the other might unintentionally act coquettish with him and mess up his plans.
As the class passed, Wen ZhiChu’s scores were a bit unsatisfactory. It can also be said that none of his English exams lately have been very good.
Seeing this, Qin JiaShu pointed out the issues and explained them to him one by one.
It was obvious that Wen ZhiChu also recognized an issue here and felt frantic about it internally. Recently, he has been feeling pressure and stress because of English. Clearly, he had managed to test over 100 points during last month’s exam, yet right now, even reaching 90 points was hard. He couldn’t help but feel panic.
When the class was over, Wen ZhiChu collapsed onto the table like a salted fish, deflating like a balloon without air, completely lifeless.
As Qin JiaShu closed his notebook, he heard the other mumble in a small voice: “I’m too stupid.”
Qin JiaShu looked at the notebook, and then looked at Wen ZhiChu: “You’re already very hardworking.”
Wen ZhiChu instantly sat up straight, somewhat unable to believe what he just heard. However, after thinking about it carefully, the other might be just saying it because he likes him and was looking at him through tinted lenses.
No, it couldn’t go on like this. He must destroy his image inside Qin JiaShu’s heart. He wasn’t actually very outstanding.
Wen ZhiChu took a deep breath: “Actually……actually I have a lot of flaws.”
Qin JiaShu quickly skimmed the notebook and closed it: “For example?”
“I…I play games very late at night everyday before sleeping.”
Qin JiaShu with a face of seriousness: “Diligent.”
Wen ZhiChu, extremely shocked: “I… I reach school on the dot everyday, never early.”
“Disciplined.”
Wen ZhiChu, gathering his courage: “I have little animals like cockroaches in my home.”
Qin JiaShu: “Compassionate.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
