Chapter 460 - 180: Tug of War with Qi Siyu, an Uninvited Guest Suddenly Intrudes_2
I was all ready to attack the crystal, and now you’re telling me you were just messing with me? That it was just a joke? You just wanted a practice match? Is it okay to trick people like that?
"Li Yuan, please, I’m begging you, just stop!"
Qi Siyu’s voice was already tinged with tears. She was genuinely frightened, her beautiful face pale with fear, and her previous bold and sexy demeanor was completely gone. She really had just wanted to talk a big game.
Li Yuan looked at Qi Siyu in disbelief. "Mrs. Qi, you... you’ve never been in a relationship before?"
He had thought that a sexy, mature instructor who dared to provoke him would have some skills, a veteran of high-level competition, an apex-tier trash-talker. Who knew it was all just a facade? Was she really just a rookie Summoner? How could her appearance be so different from her true self?
Seeing Li Yuan pause, Qi Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. Her cheeks flushed as she stared at him, her voice sounding a little strange.
"I-I was in a relationship once. It didn’t even last two months before we broke up," Qi Siyu said, a bit embarrassed as if she were explaining herself to him. "We only ever held hands and kissed a few times. We never went all the way."
How strange. With Qi Siyu’s looks and figure, there couldn’t possibly be a shortage of guys pursuing her. She’s a truly gifted specimen, even more outstanding than Wang Jierong, and far more beautiful—practically campus-belle material. Besides, she must be about twenty-four or twenty-five. It seemed she had just graduated with her master’s and stayed at the university to work as an instructor for their freshman class.
He had noticed the sexy, mature instructor on the very first day, during the freshman orientation meeting. He hadn’t thought much of it at the time, however, as all his attention had been focused on Xia Zhijin, that sweet and adorable treasure of a girl.
But in the dorm and while playing basketball with Liu Jia, Ren Jun, Yu Shihao, and other male classmates, he’d often heard them talk about Qi Siyu. Whenever her name came up, all the guys’ eyes would light up as if they were heroes spotting red and blue buffs. They would practically drool, their faces a picture of longing, desperate to claim this ultimate buff with its massive boosts for themselves. However, because of the difference in their status, and because Qi Siyu was always evasive about whether she had a boyfriend, often giving ambiguous answers, Li Yuan hadn’t heard of any guys from the two computer science classes who dared to actually pursue her. In this day and age, especially in the eyes of new freshmen, university teachers were still revered figures. This was especially true since Qi Siyu was their instructor, who to some extent controlled the computer science department’s scholarships, key appointments, and various academic honors.
Qi Siyu’s cheeks were a tantalizing, bright red. Her long eyelashes fluttered like a paper fan above her pert nose, upon which a single, crystalline bead of sweat had formed. Her well-defined, sensual red lips parted slightly, her voice laced with shyness.
"Hey, beautiful, read my lips. You know what I mean," Li Yuan mouthed at Qi Siyu, his meaning obvious.
If one mouth can’t be used, you have to use the other one, right? That’s just logical.
Qi Siyu’s beautiful eyes glared at him as she huffed, "In your dreams, Li Yuan!"
Hearing this, Li Yuan was speechless. She can’t even grant this one request? Is she a sore loser or what? If you can’t play the game, don’t make the first move. My time is precious. I’ve got Xia Zhijin and Bai Weixi waiting for me back at the university. And my little Moon Goddess is in her dorm, feeling heartbroken, and I still haven’t had a chance to comfort her. I’m a really busy guy, okay?
He had plenty of money now, but someone with Qi Siyu’s triple buffs of figure, looks, and status was a rare find.
As for feelings? What feelings? This is nothing more than morbid curiosity driven by lust. It’s carnal, not emotional. This is completely different from his feelings for Xia Zhijin, Zhong Tingyue, Jiang Zhiyu, and Bai Weixi. Li Yuan was confident Qi Siyu had her own designs on him, too. Whether it was for him as a person, for his money, or both, was hard to say. Either way, there were definitely no romantic feelings involved. The two of them had met fewer than ten times, and always during class meetings or when she came to the classroom to supervise something. After all, she was the instructor for both Class One and Class Two of the computer science department. Their only real interaction had been when he applied for the student startup fund. Other than that, they had never communicated, not even by phone.
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open. A man of medium height in a light blue Chen Sha shirt and a suit, his hair slicked back immaculately, walked in with a smile.
"Siyu, are you off work? I found a new Japanese restaurant..."
His voice cut off abruptly when he saw Li Yuan sitting brazenly in the office.
Peng Cheng frowned deeply at Li Yuan. "And you are?"
Having been interrupted at a crucial moment and startled by the sudden intrusion, Li Yuan was thoroughly annoyed. He had no desire to deal with this man and didn’t want to waste a single word on him.
Seeing Li Yuan’s sullen expression, the still-flushed Qi Siyu quickly intervened. "Director Peng, this is one of my students. Is there something you need?"
