127: Light a cigarette, Loli, and set a dead end for Yuchen. - The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

"Daughter, call out to your dad, let's hear it," Qi Lin teased Wang Siling. "Dad, dad~" Wang Siling shyly lowered her head, her voice as tiny as a mosquito's. To her, Qi Lin had become everything. Even if he asked her to do what her father once did, she would shyly comply with any of Qi Lin's requests. Qi Lin loved this shy side of Wang Siling. With courtesy, he took the fragile, porcelain-doll-like Wang Siling onto his lap, pinched her delicate chin, and with a smile said, "Hurry up and give daddy a kiss." "Ugh~" Wang Siling's pretty face turned as red as a ripe cherry. Peeking at Qi Lin through bashful eyes, she took the initiative to kiss him. After sharing some laughs, Qi Lin asked her a question. "Has Yu Chen been bothering you recently?" Wang Siling picked up a cigarette, placing it between her moist lips, lighting it with a lighter. She took a soft puff, then dutifully placed the lit cigarette in Qi Lin's mouth. The graceful act of lighting a cigarette for a beauty, once done with reluctance, now seemed second nature to Wang Siling. "Hmm~" She nodded, beautiful eyes carrying a hint of disgust. "I didn't realize he was so sleazy. He insulted me viciously that day, and now he waits outside my house daily to apologize." "I don't ever want to see him again, but he keeps pestering me." Not only had Wang Siling lost any goodwill towards Yu Chen, but her classmates felt the same. She even found his presence revolting. "Like I said, if a flea keeps jumping, just squash it under your shoe." Qi Lin remarked, puffing a perfect smoke ring. "Let's get him removed from the First High School of Central Teacher's University." Upon hearing Qi Lin's plan to deal with Yu Chen at their school, Wang Siling was stunned. In the past, she would've been against such an idea. Yet now, after a moment's pause, a smile filled her lovely face. "I don't want to see him ever again. He bothers me every day at home; being in the same class just aggravates it." "Brother Qi Lin, how do you plan to get him ousted from the school?" Seeing the determination on Wang Siling's face, Qi Lin nodded with a pleased smile. His training had paid off, and now Wang Siling had moved past Yu Chen, showing no mercy to her former childhood friend. However, this was not enough for Qi Lin. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered softly, "I have an idea, but I'll need your cooperation. Listen closely." Wang Siling nodded eagerly, her captivating eyes brightening with anticipation. Finally, she laughed, "Don't worry, Brother Qi Lin. Yu Chen trusts me implicitly; I'll make him taste betrayal from the one he trusts most." Qi Lin caressed her face, smiling, "Can you tell me why you're so willing to conspire against Yu Chen with me?" Wang Siling nestled her smooth cheek against Qi Lin's neck, much like a kitten, "It's because I know Brother Qi Lin enjoys watching me hurt Yu Chen. The happier it makes Qi Lin, the more I'm willing to do it." "You truly are my good treasure. It seems like you're considering staying." Qi Lin teased, cheekily pinching Wang Siling's face. Her pretty face flushed, evidently confirming Qi Lin's guess. "However, I must say, I love the way you are now. Stay by my side forever, be my little cigarette-keeper." Qi Lin continued, grasping Wang Siling's fair chin for another kiss. Her face was rosy, filled with happiness, hypnotizing anyone who observed her closely. "By the way, Qi Lin, I heard my dad mention last night that Wang Cheng was arrested at a nightclub. Is that true?" As soon as Qi Lin sat down, Lan Yuxi approached, her cheek resting against his arm, full of curiosity. Unlike Wang Cheng, who never enjoyed such attention, Qi Lin basked in it daily. Despite being a student at the First High School of Central Teacher's University, Lan Yuxi clung to Qi Lin every day like a shadow. Gazing at her big eyes, Qi Lin pinched her delicate nose playfully. "Did you forget what to call me outside? Do you want a spanking again in public?" Of course, Lan Yuxi understood his meaning. Looking around to ensure no one was watching, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes before she sweetly called out, "Husband~" The thrill of being called husband by an eighteen-year-old girl was intoxicating for Qi Lin. Had they not been in class, he would've held her for half an hour. Satisfied, he grasped her dainty white hand resting on her skirt, toying with it. "The exam's approaching. Want a perfect score?" "Of course, why not?" Lan Yuxi nodded enthusiastically, shaking her head. It was through uncovered exam cheating that their connection had begun. Like any normal girl, Lan Yuxi longed to be the top of her class, the school's brightest star, proving she was not only the prettiest but also the smartest. "Just wait, I'll take you to steal the answer sheet. Are you in?" Qi Lin winked with a smile. Lan Yuxi, with her rebellious streak, was naturally intrigued by the idea. Sure enough, her eyes lit up at his words, "Let's do it! Why didn't I realize how foolish it was to have dated a hypocrite like Wang Cheng back then? If I'd liked you then, and we'd gone for the answers together, there'd be nothing to fear. You'd always have my back." Behold, Qi Lin's brilliance. Dangerous and yet providing girls around him a sense of safety. How could they not love him for it? "Oh, right, husband, you still haven't said what happened with Wang Cheng last night. Why was he in such a place again?" A trace of disdain crossed Lan Yuxi's beautiful eyes as she spoke, "It’s a relief that I never touched him. He’s filthy, associating with such dust-covered women outside." Qi Lin burst into laughter, "And what about me? I mess around outside too. What would you say to that?" Wrapping herself around his arm coquettishly, Lan Yuxi smiled, "It's different with you, husband. The girls you like, they're all clean just like me. Even if you kiss me, I won't mind." Wow! Qi Lin had not expected Lan Yuxi to be so forward. This little enchantress, how would she ever deter him in the future? Foregoing any further teasing, Qi Lin recounted yesterday's incidents, "It's no biggie if he just played with those women, but Wang Cheng's further downfall came from becoming a plaything for that underworld boss.” He wasn't the lone victim; now he's serving the new boss the same way he was treated back then, understand?" “Ugh~” Lan Yuxi shivered upon hearing Qi Lin's words. Her father wasn't eager to burden his daughter with psychological scars and left Wang Cheng's story vague. But now, knowing her former suitor was that depraved, made her sick to her stomach. "Husband~ you, you should kiss me now. I feel unwell, need you to detoxify me," Lan Yuxi sweetly leaned over to Qi Lin, playing coy. "Cough, cough~" Truly, Lan Yuxi was growing bolder. "With so many people in class, are you sure you want me to kiss you?" Qi Lin inquired with amusement. "What’s there to fear? Watch this.” Lan Yuxi pulled out a jacket, draping it over their heads, "Now no one can see us~" she chirped. Qi Lin was impressed. This is how she shamelessly waved aside everything else. With such an invitation from an enchantress, how could Qi Lin feign aloofness? In the din of classroom readings, the sounds of kisses echoed softly. The girl sitting to the right of Lan Yuxi, well aware of their secret, merely raised her eyebrows. Her perception of normalcy was thoroughly shattered by this peculiar couple. Towards the class's midpoint, Lan Yuxi, cheeks ablaze from the kisses, got up to collect assignments. Whenever she neared the boys' desks, they got a glimpse of her delicate face and innocent allure. Empowered by her kisses with Qi Lin, Lan Yuxi bloomed beautifully; the male students couldn't resist her. Yet, this enchanting beauty knew only Qi Lin's taste, leaving others to gaze with envy. Having gathered the assignments, she prepared to head to the office. As she passed Qi Lin, she shot him a look, signaling it was time for action. Qi Lin smiled, waiting for her to venture off before lighting a cigarette and slipping out of the classroom. He enjoyed a unique station at the school. Cuts in class and smoking were overlooked — his peers seemingly blind to his actions. Of course, some desired similar freedoms, but after witnessing Wang Cheng's downfall, no one dared challenge him. Exiting the classroom, Qi Lin headed casually towards the office, fully aware all the teachers were in a meeting. "Get started without me, sweetheart. Begin copying down the answers yourself." Seeing Lan Yuxi sitting on the chair, her face aglow with excitement as she faced the answers, Qi Lin shook his head. "I hate this. Do you think stealing answers is as easy as drinking water or eating? If the teachers catch us, we're done for. I'm trying to minimize the risk, you understand?" Lan Yuxi shot Qi Lin a glare and continued copying her answers. "You finish this up, I'll head out and stand watch," Qi Lin said, a cigarette in his mouth, as he stepped out of the office again. Hearing Qi Lin was keeping watch, a sweet smile spread across Lan Yuxi's lips. Partners in mischief like them were bound by a bond tighter than gold. Although he said he was keeping watch, in reality, Qi Lin headed directly to the finance room once outside. Finding a discreet spot, Qi Lin applied some makeup, transforming himself to look like Yu Chen. Once he was certain everything was perfect, he pushed open the finance room door and entered. The finance room was empty since the teacher in charge had gone to the meeting. Initially, Qi Lin planned to pick the lock on the safe, but upon seeing a stack of money on the table, he couldn't help but laugh. It looked like the finance teacher had collected fees but hadn't had the chance to store it before being called to the meeting. With the money sitting there, there was no need for Qi Lin to risk breaking open the safe. Picking up the money, he estimated there were thirty to forty thousand. More than enough to ensure Yu Chen's expulsion from school. Qi Lin found a black bag in a drawer, placed the money inside, and then left the office. The camera in the finance room had captured 'Yu Chen' clearly throughout the act. After finding a discreet corner, Qi Lin reverted to his original appearance. Stashing the money in his system space, he returned to find Lan Yuxi. "Husband! Weren't you supposed to be watching the door? Where did you go?" Lan Yuxi's worried face turned towards the office door, looking guilty as a thief. It made Qi Lin want to laugh. "I just took a quick bathroom break." Qi Lin pinched Lan Yuxi's cheek. "Hmph~ What if you got caught while taking a bathroom break? Then you'd have to take the blame for me," Lan Yuxi pouted, dissatisfied with his explanation. "Alright, alright, if we get caught, I'll take the fall," Qi Lin chuckled, leading Lan Yuxi back to the classroom. "Ding-a-ling~" With the end of the morning class, Qi Lin was about to head out to find Wang Siling. "Husband~ where are you going? I want to come," Lan Yuxi said, holding onto Qi Lin's arm, her face cheerful. "Darn, you want to come too?" Qi Lin feigned annoyance. "I hate you! Who'd want to join you in the bathroom, that's disgusting~" Lan Yuxi gave him a sidelong glance and reluctantly let go of him. Back to Class 4, second grade. Yu Chen and Wang Siling used to walk home together every day, a routine that didn't seem special to Yu Chen. But ever since Qi Lin split them up, making them enemies, Yu Chen hadn't properly seen Wang Siling's stunning face in a long time. Now, he watched her movements like a wolf, wistfully imagining their past days of walking and laughing together. "Yu Chen, Brother Qi Lin doesn't want to see you again, and neither do I. So, I'm sorry, but from today, you’re gone from my life." A cold gleam flashed in Wang Siling's beautiful eyes. Under Qi Lin's guidance, she understood the choices she needed to make. If she wanted Qi Lin's love and a place in his heart, she had to sacrifice Yu Chen. Didn't Yu Chen claim to love her? Now was the time for him to prove it. "Ding-a-ling~" A notification sounded from Wang Siling's phone. Delighted, she quickly checked it. "The item is in hand; come and get it. Remember, you must lure Yu Chen here." Reading it, she immediately deleted the message. Her beautiful eyes blinked several times, contemplating her next move. Feigning anxiety, Wang Siling looked around before standing up and slipping out of the classroom. Yu Chen, who had been closely observing her, was taken aback. He knew Wang Siling's personality very well. If she looked nervous, something significant was up. "What is Siling doing? Is she going to meet Qi Lin?" Gripped by the thought, Yu Chen clenched his fists. Though he knew their chances of reconciliation were slim, he clung to a final hope to win Wang Siling back. "Didn't Qi Lin use threats to take Siling away? Why can't I use the same method?" Yu Chen pondered. He believed Wang Siling, timid by nature, would yield to any threat. Heading back to the secluded spot, overgrown with weeds, few ventured there. This marked Wang Siling's loyalty to Qi Lin. From afar, Yu Chen saw her making her way to a small grove behind the school. Watching her leave the classroom with a guilty look, he quietly followed after her. If anyone threatened Wang Siling now, she'd promptly inform Qi Lin. Yet, he failed to realize the effort Qi Lin had invested in manipulating her. Seeing this, his eyes narrowed with a glint of determination as he stealthily approached.
