Chapter 4 - New Encounters

Qi Si's moment of surprise didn't last long. He simply and naturally took out his phone: "Leave your contact information. I'll notify you about the homework and key points on WeChat."

"Okay, teacher." Ruan Xihe took out her phone and scanned Qi Si's QR code.

"Teacher Qi, I've scanned it. Please accept it." She pushed the phone back in front of Qi Si.

"Okay." He replied indifferently.

"Then I'll leave first. I don't want to disturb your work." Ruan Xihe was never impatient when it came to conquest tasks. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. Thirty percent depended on fate, thirty percent on tricks, and the rest was all about her mood.

"Fine."

Ruan Xihe left the office with a slight upward curve at the corners of her mouth.

This one really gives a special feeling. I'm really curious about what he would be like when he loses his composure.

There were no classes in the afternoon. She planned to relax. Since she started dating Fei Ye, all her free time had been spent on the basketball court. She hadn't really experienced the beauty and essence of college life.

Feng Yu had an elective class in the afternoon and left first. She walked slowly along the school path alone.

Ruan Xihe was actually quite laid-back. 044 always thought that eighty percent of the reason why she could complete tasks so efficiently was her extremely beautiful face.

Among the four seasons, she really didn't like summer. It was humid and stuffy, making her feel lazy and unmotivated to do anything.

A gentle piano tune rang. She looked at the caller ID. When she was dating Fei Ye, she had naturally done her research on his close friends. The one calling her was Fei Ye's little brother, Liao Feiyuan.

"Hello." Her voice was extremely gentle, like a lover's whisper. There was a pause of a few seconds on the other end before speaking: "Sister-in-law, Brother Ye is drunk. Can you come over?"

During the time Ruan Xihe was dating Fei Ye, she had been notified by Liao Feiyuan many times to pick him up.

But this time.

"I won't come. Take good care of him."

"The address is Nanjing Road. Huh? Sister-in-law, you're not coming?" This was the first time Liao Feiyuan heard Ruan Xihe's refusal.

"We've broken up. It's not appropriate for me to go." Her tone was still gentle, without any sign of the sadness of a broken heart. Or rather, there was no emotional fluctuation at all. It was too calm.

Liao Feiyuan had known Fei Ye since their freshman year. From freshman to junior year, Fei Ye had a very rich love history, being extremely flirtatious. But there were countless girls who liked him. Every time Fei Ye ended a relationship, there were many girls crying and being heartbroken. Ruan Xihe was really the first one like this.

He had never seen a gentler girl than her. She was attentive to Fei Ye in everything but didn't overstep. She was intimate but also gave the other enough personal space. She was generous and not clingy. She never checked Fei Ye's phone, didn't ask about his whereabouts, and wasn't angry about his scandals.

She had all the good qualities that boys liked in a relationship.

With all these signs, at this moment, Liao Feiyuan suddenly felt that he had glimpsed a bit of her true self beneath the mask. Maybe Ruan Xihe didn't like Fei Ye that much from the beginning. Because she didn't care, she was generous. But he couldn't figure out why she was with Fei Ye if it wasn't for love. Obviously, it wasn't for money either. She had never asked Fei Ye for anything.

"Why did you break up?"

"Maybe it's because he likes spicy food and I don't." She gave a light chuckle. Her low voice made Liao Feiyuan's scalp tingle. His Adam's apple moved subconsciously, and a ripple of fine and dense emotions arose in his heart.

"Okay, I got it." Liao Feiyuan hung up the phone, but half of his body still felt a bit weak. He spat out a word irritably: "Damn." He walked back into the room. Fei Ye was drunk to the point of being unconscious and kept shouting Ruan Xihe's name.

Liao Feiyuan stared blankly at Fei Ye. It was the first time he had seen him so disheveled. Well, with a girl like Ruan Xihe, probably no man could like another girl after she had smiled at him.

...

Ruan Xihe hung up the phone and caught a leaf that happened to fall. Her relationship cycle was only three months.

Shanghai University was really huge. Usually, people rode bicycles. Of course, if you were lucky, you could also take the campus bus. There were a lot of people in the teaching building where she had classes. She was delayed a bit when she went to Qi Si's. When she came down, the few remaining blue bikes had all been taken.

"Beep."

She didn't even turn around. Because of her extremely outstanding appearance, there had been too many rich second-generation kids following her and honking their horns since the beginning of the semester. She had always ignored them.

But this time it seemed a bit different. A black car stopped beside her, and the window was rolled down. It was Qi Si inside.

"Teacher Qi?"

"Going home?" Qi Si was really a man of few words.

"Yes!" She tilted her head and smiled demurely. The mole beside her eye, with her slightly curved eyebrows, was charmingly alluring.

"Get in. I'll give you a ride." His face showed little expression, and his tone was cold and aloof. He really didn't seem like a bad person.

On such a hot day, not having to walk under the sun was really a good choice. She wasn't coy. She opened the passenger door generously, sat down, and obediently fastened her seat belt.

"Address."

"Building 6, Peony Court."

He nodded almost imperceptibly. His side profile was incredibly handsome. Maybe to look more serious, he was still wearing a long-sleeved shirt on such a hot day. His coat was on the back seat, and his sleeves were rolled up a bit, revealing his well-defined arms. This kind of reserved and ascetic man was the easiest to arouse a woman's desire to conquer.

"Thank you, Teacher Qi." She thanked him politely, sounding gentle and courteous.

Qi Si felt a bit uncomfortable subconsciously, but this feeling disappeared in an instant, and he didn't think much about it.

Ruan Xihe sat very properly, with excellent posture. She really looked like a noble maiden coming out of a medieval mural. Every move of hers made people feel that she had extremely good upbringing.

"The passenger seat is usually for girlfriends. Will your girlfriend mind if I sit here, Teacher Qi?" She seemed to ask casually.

Just then, the traffic light turned red. He stopped and looked straight ahead: "I don't have a girlfriend."

"Then Teacher Qi must have very high standards." Her tone had always been natural, without any trace of deliberateness or affectation, as if she was just asking casually.

Without giving Qi Si a chance to reply, she directly changed the topic: "Teacher, you said you would teach us until the end of the semester. What about next semester?"

"I only have this one-semester teaching contract with Shanghai University." When it came to business, he said a few more words.

"Don't you have classes this afternoon, teacher?"

"I teach two classes."

"Will it delay your going home if you give me a ride? Which community do you live in?"

"Building 8, Peony Court."

She turned her head in surprise and looked at Qi Si: "What a coincidence."

There was an imperceptible curve at the corners of Qi Si's mouth, seemingly satisfied with her surprise.

The car stopped in front of Building 6.

Ruan Xihe got out of the car, bent down, smiled at Qi Si through the window, and waved: "Thank you, Teacher Qi. Goodbye, teacher."

He bent his mouth slightly and nodded.

...

Ruan Xihe lived on the fifth floor. When the elevator opened, she happened to meet a middle-aged man head-on. The man had an ordinary and simple appearance. He was a tenant on the sixth floor. Ruan Xihe had met him a few times when she went downstairs to throw rubbish. He always smiled at her, but the look in his eyes was a bit uncomfortable.

Today, he was on the fifth floor.

She became a bit cautious in her heart. She didn't show any sign and ignored the man. She opened the door and entered her home, locking it firmly with two locks.

She had originally planned to go to a quiet bar for a drink in the afternoon, but since she got a free ride home from Teacher Qi, she gave up the idea.

"Xihe, have you decided to conquer Qi Si?" 044 asked.

"Yes." She took a bag of milk from the fridge, bit the straw, and drank slowly.

"Ding, Conquer the four-star task target Qi Si. Mandatory tasks: 1. Get Qi Si's active confession and establish a relationship within one month. 2. Kiss another man in front of Qi Si during the relationship. 3. Maintain the relationship for three months."

After 044's electronic voice stopped, Ruan Xihe raised her eyebrows. Usually, there was only one mandatory task for a three-star target. There were three for a four-star target. So, was it even more interesting for a five-star target?

Her WeChat Moments showed a peaceful and beautiful life, with either books, flowers, tea or scenery.

She clicked on Qi Si's WeChat Moments. His profile picture was a ragdoll cat. It seemed to be a self-taken photo. There was nothing in his Moments, completely clean.

The background of his QQ space was also that cat, but in a different location.

She tapped her fingers lightly on the countertop, sucking the milk unconsciously.

"Xihe, the money has arrived."

As soon as 044 finished speaking, her phone vibrated. A text message from the bank showed that 50 million yuan had been deposited.

She was in a good mood.

"Xihe, should we still buy land with this money?" 044 had been helping her with investments since she got her first bounty. If she weren't so low-key, she might have had a place on the Forbes Rich List.

"Let's buy a house. I'll apply to be an exchange student at Peking University next year." There was a ripple of emotion in her eyes.

"Okay. A courtyard house or a villa?" 044 asked.

"A courtyard house."

"Okay."

The Internet had almost no secrets for 044. Ruan Xihe's hacking skills were all taught by 044.

In the early years, before Ruan Xihe became independent, 044 was the one who managed to get her first bucket of gold with the bounties.

After taking a nap and having a shower.

With her hair loose, wearing a loose white T-shirt, a pair of short shorts, and a pair of sandals, her legs were long, straight and slender, extremely attractive.

She took her keys and sausages and strolled downstairs when the sun was setting and it wasn't so hot.

Beside the flower bed of Building 8.

Ruan Xihe gently tore open the packaging. Big Yellow and Little Yellow came quickly, as if they had a telepathic connection.

She stroked the fur on Big Yellow's head. At this time, Ruan Xihe was the most relaxed and harmless.

Qi Si happened to see this scene when he walked to the balcony. The girl's curved waist was very alluring.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on the cup in his hand.

"Xihe, the target person has appeared." 044 reminded her.

Ruan Xihe knew it in her heart and wasn't affected at all. She just slightly turned her body, and her fair and long legs were very seductive.

Qi Si's gaze followed her movement and landed on her legs. He suddenly turned around, with a bit of panic in his eyes.

She curved her mouth, looking beautiful and harmless.
