    She likes her, yet it seems to be merely “liking” her…

    Fu Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

    A moment later.

    She raised a new question, “Th-th-then if I accidentally ambush a different spot next time, shouldn’t this punishment system be upgraded accordingly?”

    While speaking, Fu Chaoyun’s gaze fell on Pei Xuezhi’s lips, making no attempt to hide it, “This punishment system should be a bit more rigorous, right?”

    The next second.

    Her head was pushed back by Pei Xuezhi’s finger, the latter replied expressionlessly, “Miss Fu, this might remind you of some unpleasant memories.”

    Unlike Fu Chaoyun’s natural familiarity, calling her “Sister Xuezhi” and “Zhizhi” after just a few days of acquaintance, Pei Xuezhi always addressed Fu Chaoyun formally by her full name “Fu Chaoyun” or “Miss Fu.”

    Even after such intimate moments just now, she still called her “Miss Fu.”

    Yet oddly…

    This rather formal address coming from her lips added a unique three parts of intimate charm, something that couldn’t be spoken of.

    Fu Chaoyun blinked curiously, “What?”

    “Miss Fu,” Pei Xuezhi called again, while casting a faint glance at her.

    The aggressive demeanor from biting her hand earlier had completely faded, Pei Xuezhi seemed to return to her initial cool and distant manner, yet could no longer keep people at arm’s length.

    At least not Fu Chaoyun.

    “My body’s defense mechanism doesn’t fail every time.”

    “So, so—yesterday Zhizhi actually noticed me approaching, but considering I might be drunk and other reasons, you deliberately held back from pushing me away immediately?” Fu Chaoyun quickly followed up with a question.

    【!!!】

    【Why is your brain working so fast now?】

    【Amazing, my Sherlock Yun】

    “How gentle, Zhizhi.”

    “I knew with my good looks, how could anyone ignore me…”

    No matter what Fu Chaoyun said afterward, whether chattering or boasting, Pei Xuezhi had already turned her gaze away, no longer looking at her.

    After pondering for a moment, Fu Chaoyun added, “Actually, if Zhizhi takes care of all the injury treatment and medicine application services later… doing it again wouldn’t be impossible.”

    This was from the first day of the dating show, when Pei Xuezhi’s instinctive body reaction made her push away Fu Chaoyun who came to help her, accidentally causing a bruise on the latter’s waist. Though appearing cold-hearted, that person ended up feeling guilty and went to help apply medicine, diligently doing it twice a day…

    Pei Xuezhi couldn’t bear to listen anymore, suddenly pressing Fu Chaoyun’s head down, she said:

    “Shut up.”

    【Ahaha she’s embarrassed and angry!】

    【Explosive stir-fry!】

    【Above commenter, I see you cooking every time, but this obviously can’t happen right now.】

    【Don’t care! Whether my shipped CP happens or not, my will must reach them!】

    【respect!】

    Fu Chaoyun finally fell silent.

    Following Pei Xuezhi’s motion, she rested her head on the bar counter, one arm cushioning underneath, head turned sideways, quietly watching Pei Xuezhi from this position.

    Shedding her earlier dominance, Pei Xuezhi slowly sipped her lemon water.

    All this reflected in Fu Chaoyun’s eyes, yet both were doing their own things, not interfering with each other.

    After another moment.

    “Zhizhi~” someone couldn’t hold back anymore and called out.

    Pei Xuezhi ignored her.

    “Zhizhi-zhizhi-zhi~”

    The little sparrow called continuously, her voice soft and gentle, not noisy at all. Pei Xuezhi seemed to have no choice but to finally look up.

    “What now?”

    A fair, slender arm appeared before her eyes, with Fu Chaoyun’s long, delicate fingers at the end, slightly turned to show more of the back of her hand.

    “The mark is fading, let’s add another one,” that person said in a spoiled voice, “—the mark Zhizhi gave me.”

    Pei Xuezhi’s gaze followed the arm to its owner.

    She was resting on the bar counter, head tilted, long legs naturally hanging below, looking at her with this somewhat awkward posture.

    Fu Chaoyun’s figure could be described as graceful and elegant, her face extremely beautiful, neither too much nor too little.

    But now with her face pressed against her arm, her cheeks appeared slightly chubby like baby fat, yet with her superior features, it wasn’t unattractive at all, making her look even younger. Combined with the gentle and virtuous hairstyle Pei Xuezhi had just done for her, the bright yellow hairband, and her naturally young age, she looked just like a high school student.

    Moreover, like a “bad student” who doesn’t pay attention in class and only knows how to sleep on the desk.

    Usually, she was always surrounded by friends, with an outgoing personality and a sense of loyalty, plus her natural beauty and generous nature cultivated by her distinguished family background. Even though she was at the bottom of the class in grades, she was still the most dazzling and popular existence in the class.

    Everyone in class loved to play with her, except for the top-ranked student with a cold personality who only focused on studying.

    These two people’s life trajectories should have had no intersection, yet precisely because the good student couldn’t speak with her, the homeroom teacher placed them together to prevent her from disturbing others.

    During breaks, one remained alone – reading books and solving problems, while the other was surrounded by friends – lively and bustling.

    But when class began.

    Someone would deliberately pretend to sleep, actually turning her head to watch the good student beside her, and whenever the good student looked down, their eyes would meet.

    Amber, soft, clear.

    From beginning to end, that person’s gaze remained this way, constantly falling upon her, moment by moment. When their eyes met, she would curve her eyes in a gentle smile, stirring up the good student’s peaceful pool of spring water, forcing the other to become like her, unable to focus on any of the class content…

    How… infuriating!

    Yet when that person smiled, she was so beautiful that one couldn’t stay angry.

    At this moment, Fu Chaoyun spoke while resting her head, her voice slightly muffled, carrying both sweetness and clinginess.

    “Zhizhi~” when no response came, the annoying little sparrow called again.

    It was nearly four in the afternoon, with bright sunlight leaking through the window, falling on Fu Chaoyun’s face, scattering into her smiling eyes as she looked at her, smiling beautifully.

    At this moment, Pei Xuezhi felt—

    Fu Chaoyun must also like her.

    Then, her lips pressed downward slightly.

    Yet it seemed like she merely… “liked” her…

    “No more.”

    Just as Pei Xuezhi finished speaking, a phone notification suddenly rang, interrupting their particularly beautiful atmosphere.

    “Hello.” Pei Xuezhi answered the phone with her characteristic cool voice.

    Seeing Pei Xuezhi pick up the sponsor’s phone, Fu Chaoyun quickly perked up from the table, pricking up her ears to listen carefully.

    “Miss Pei, pardon the interruption.”

    The caller was Qin Zhenyan, speaking politely on the other end.

    “It’s like this – I have a cooperation meeting near Rong University this afternoon. I calculated that when it ends, it would coincide with Miss Pei’s class dismissal time. Since it’s on the way, why don’t I give Miss Pei a ride back to the villa? No need to trouble Miss Fu to make a special trip.”

    “Does Mr. Qin have nothing else to do this afternoon?”

    “The important matter this afternoon was the cooperation meeting, fortunately.” Qin Zhenyan gave a light laugh, “It was just concluded, and I’m driving toward Rong University now. I should arrive in about ten minutes.”

    All guests had earpieces for sound, while Fu Chaoyun still needed to prick up her ears to listen nearby, but the livestream audience could hear their conversation clearly.

    【This Qin Zhenyan really has his ways!】

    【So proactive, he doesn’t ask for permission first, just says he’s coming, giving Pei Xuezhi no room to refuse… if it was an omega with thinner skin, they’d be completely manipulated by him.】

    【You think a 33-year-old man’s tactics are fake?】

    【Pei Xuezhi, reject him!】

    【Let him know you’re not so easily obtained, omega!】

    After listening, Pei Xuezhi paused, and didn’t disappoint the audience’s expectations: “I’m not at Rong University right now.”

    “Is that so?” Qin Zhenyan showed slight surprise on the other end, then laughed, “Then send me your location, I can change route and come over all the same.”

    【Damn, does he not understand rejection?】

    【With thick enough skin, nothing is impossible!】

    Before Pei Xuezhi could speak, Fu Chaoyun suddenly snatched her phone, “Sorry, Zhizhi is with me right now, so there’s no need to trouble Mr. Qin to make the trip. Goodbye!”

    She returned Qin Zhenyan’s words exactly, hanging up before he could even react.

    The bullet comments were scrolling with 【So satisfying】, 【So satisfying】…

    On this end, Fu Chaoyun still felt annoyed after hanging up, gritting her teeth and cursing, “He really is like a lingering ghost!”

    Seeing her like this, Pei Xuezhi suddenly curved her lips in a faint smile.

    Alright.

    Perhaps… she could add just a little bit more… “liking.”

    Fu Chaoyun caught her, “What is Zhizhi smiling about?”

    “Nothing.”

    Pei Xuezhi’s smile instantly disappeared, her expression seemingly identical to when she received Qin Zhenyan’s call.

    But looking closely, one could tell it was clearly different.

    The current Pei Xuezhi appeared much lighter and more relaxed.

    Fu Chaoyun stopped playing the “fishing beauty” routine and directly leaned in, saying with a solemn yet charming face:

    “I think the reward and punishment system Zhizhi proposed is very good.”

    Pei Xuezhi looked over.

    “I’m the first to enthusiastically support it! So, considering you saw me naked last night—”

    Fu Chaoyun hadn’t finished speaking when Pei Xuezhi quickly pounced over, carrying a wave of clear grapefruit-scented pheromones, firmly covering Fu Chaoyun’s mouth.

    【What what? What happened? Is there something that we, the esteemed livestream audience, can’t hear?】

    【Sure enough, when the cameras and microphones were cut off yesterday, some R-rated things happened (pushes glasses.jpg)】

    【Production team, look what you’ve done! Strongly condemn this!!!】

    “Shut up!”

    Before the camera, Pei Xuezhi spoke harshly, but her face instantly turned bright red. The breath scattered in her palm was hot, yet it couldn’t compare to her own surging blood, while the beautiful alpha in front of her just blinked her eyes, appearing completely innocent.

    Seeing this, Pei Xuezhi could only take a deep breath before warning as steadily as possible.

    “You… stop talking about it.”

    “Understand?”

    Fu Chaoyun blinked again, as if responding to her words. Confirming they’d reached an understanding, Pei Xuezhi released her hand and stepped back.

    This time, Fu Chaoyun leaned in instead, first turning off her own microphone, then cutting off Pei Xuezhi’s, her crimson lips pressed against Pei Xuezhi’s ear.

    Her breath like orchids.

    “Teacher Pei, why so shy? The one who was seen naked yesterday… was me.”

    With just that, the livestream comments exploded again.

    【Production team!】

    【Second time now, talking right in front of me but I can’t hear anything… this terrible show might as well shut down!】

    【I can read lips, let me!】

    【Fu Chaoyun said: Watch out, I’ll stir-fry you tonight!】

    【Nonsense, Fu Chaoyun clearly said: Teacher Pei, please no, you assigned too much homework, I can’t copy it all, wuwuwu!】

    【Above comment is outrageous…】

    【I finally understand, these two are first-class at flirting, it comes naturally to them, whether they give us sweet moments depends entirely on their mood!】

    Fu Chaoyun turned her head after speaking, and sure enough, once again admired Pei Xuezhi’s ear tips that were red enough to drip blood.

    So cute.

    Her Zhizhi.

    Wanting to bite once, then kiss tenderly…

    Just as she was thinking mischievously, her phone rang, the ringtone indicating it was from the production team. Fu Chaoyun didn’t even check the caller ID, answering with a firm tone.

    “Mr. Qin, I believe ‘knowing when to retreat’ is also an admirable quality, don’t you think?”

    The other end paused, “Director Fu, it’s us, the production team.”

    Fu Chaoyun’s tone suddenly relaxed, “Oh, it’s you all, what’s the matter?”

    The production team maintained a hands-off approach with guests throughout, rarely appearing on camera except to announce procedures, and even though Fu Chaoyun held the positions of planner and director, they seldom contacted her.

    “Please turn your earpiece on first.”

    “Tch~”

    Despite her response, Fu Chaoyun complied, first turning on her own, then leaning closer to switch on Pei Xuezhi’s earpiece pinned to her collar.

    As she withdrew her hand, her fingertips seemed to accidentally brush Pei Xuezhi’s collarbone, causing a tingling sensation.

    By the time Pei Xuezhi looked over, Fu Chaoyun was already focused on her phone call.

    “Done,” she said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. How many times must I say it – don’t disturb the guests’ private time!”

    The other end: “……”

    【After all, she’s half the boss, Fu Chaoyun is so fierce.】

    【Fierce is good! Give this unprofessional production team a good scolding!】

    【Wait, isn’t all this ‘unprofessionalism’ only happening with Fu Chaoyun? After all, she’s from the core team, workers wouldn’t dare offend her.】

    【Ah… this is awkward…】

    “Wait, please don’t hang up! We’re calling to tell you — O-zai wants to sponsor our show!”

    At these words, even Pei Xuezhi turned to look.

    Fu Chaoyun: “…What?”

    After further questioning, Fu Chaoyun learned that yesterday’s livestream content had gone viral, and O-zai’s upper management had seen it. Especially when a bottle of O-zai suddenly appeared at her bedside that morning – even this brief camera shot was discovered by sharp-eyed viewers, and when traced back, it turned out Pei Xuezhi had placed it there last night.

    【Hahaha!】

    【Sponsor daddy saw it, Fu Chaoyun has such influence!】

    【What is this?】

    【—Love her, treat her to O-zai?】

    【DBQ [sorry] this is really hilarious!】

    【Business genius · Fu Chaoyun!!!】


    LP: Just a bit of liking, yeah

      Hmmm just a little bit, huh? Who are you fooling Pei Xuezhi? (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)
