As soon as the banquet ended, I found an excuse to return to school, and Qin Mengdie and Sister Lin followed me. Wang Haoming had other tasks to attend to, so he didn’t come along.
“Hey! Tell me what’s going on! Didn’t you say it was fake?” Wang Ziyuan glared at me with wide eyes.
I felt uncomfortable myself, so I snapped back, “Do you think I wanted this? D@mn it!”
“You… are you angry?” Seeing that I was a bit upset, Wang Ziyuan quickly restrained herself and asked with concern.
Sister Lin, on the other hand, was gleeful as she said, “I told you, Mengdie has looks, a great figure, and a solid background. What are you pretending for?”
“Mengdie, even though the narcissist is a bit lewd and has a habit of… well, you know, he’s not a bad guy. Why don’t you just make do with him?” Tang Shuyao said to Qin Mengdie.
What the hell? It’s been a year since I bought a watch! Is there anyone more sarcastic than that? Ever since I met Mei’er, I haven’t even… you know, once!
Qin Mengdie didn’t say anything, and neither did I. Sister Lin and the others realized that things seemed a bit serious and fell silent.
“I’m not feeling well, I’m going upstairs!” Xu Xin sighed and left directly.
“Is such a small matter troubling you?” Wu Ming’s voice suddenly appeared in my mind. This guy really seemed to be around me all the time; I just hadn’t noticed.
“D@mn! This is not a small matter!” I cursed loudly.
“The narcissist seems to have turned into a lunatic…” Tang Shuyao muttered quietly.
Sister Lin shook her head, “Sigh, with this kind of temperament, how can he become the Family Head of the Xia Family…”
Uh… I suddenly remembered that only I could hear Wu Ming’s voice. Sister Lin and the others must think I’m an idiot.
Not wanting to argue with them, I quickly returned to my bedroom because whenever Wu Ming showed up, he usually waited for me there.
Sure enough, when I walked in, he was playing a matching game with my notebook.
“You think that’s a small matter? I certainly don’t think so! What if I marry her? What will happen to Mei’er?” I said loudly to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming chuckled, “The little fox is a demon, and you’re human. This combination is quite bizarre! No one would accept it!”
“Hey! What do you mean by that?” I said, a bit irritated.
Seeing that I was angry, Wu Ming quickly added, “Actually, marrying someone like Qin Mengdie isn’t a big deal. After all, there are more divorces than breakups nowadays. You two can get a marriage certificate, and as long as you don’t… you know, it’s still fake, and you can divorce anytime!”
What Wu Ming said made sense, but a marriage between two prominent families, if it could be dissolved just like that, wouldn’t reflect well on either family’s reputation. However, for Mei’er, I guess it didn’t matter how bad it looked!
“Thanks!” I said to Wu Ming, then returned to the living room, pulled Qin Mengdie aside, and shared my thoughts.
Qin Mengdie frowned and said, “What we’re doing is just a last resort; it will greatly damage the reputations of the Qin and Xia families!”
“Do you have a better plan?” I asked her.
Qin Mengdie shook her head and said, “No.”
“Then we have no choice but to use this last resort!” I shrugged helplessly, suddenly feeling an urge to tease Qin Mengdie.
Looking at her, I smiled and said, “Why don’t we really get married? After all, I’m not a bad person!”
“Pervert!” Qin Mengdie scolded me and walked away.
What? I’m a pervert? What a joke…
“Ah!” As soon as Qin Mengdie went inside, Sister Lin screamed.
Could something have happened? No, Sister Lin loved to show off her high-pitched voice, so it should be nothing serious.
But just as I thought that, Tang Shuyao’s scream also echoed out.
“D@mn! Something serious must have happened, right?” I hurried to the living room, only to find it completely empty, while Qin Mengdie was anxiously running upstairs! Could it be that people from SR had come?! No, if SR had sent assassins, Qin Mengdie wouldn’t be safe. I should go check it out first!
As I reached the stairs, I saw Sister Lin and Tang Shuyao talking.
“Yaoyao, did yours get stolen too?” Sister Lin asked Tang Shuyao.
Tang Shuyao nodded, “Didn’t Mengxin’s get stolen as well?”
Qin Mengdie, looking confused, asked, “What are you guys talking about?”
“Mengdie, it seems like both Sister Lin and I had our bras stolen!” Tang Shuyao said, gritting her teeth. “If I find out who that pervert is, I’ll definitely kill him!”
“Do you think it could be Xia Tian?” Sister Lin suggested, looking at them.
I panicked upon hearing this and stepped out, saying, “Hey! I just got back like you guys! Don’t falsely accuse me! Besides, Sister Lin, with your tiny bra, who would steal it?”
“It was you who stole it!” Sister Lin shot back, even though she knew her chest wasn’t that big.
Tang Shuyao chimed in, “Exactly! It must be the narcissist who stole it!” Suddenly, her eyes widened as she exclaimed, “Mengxin, do you think he went off to… you know… with my bra?”
“I’m telling you, it’s not me! If you leave some on the balcony again today, I’ll definitely catch that thief!” I said, a bit angrily.
After saying that, I returned to my bedroom. At that moment, Wu Ming was already gone, and my mood soured again, so I just lay down on the bed and fell asleep. D@mn it, if I catch that thief, I’ll teach him a lesson!
Around eleven o’clock at night, I was woken up by my alarm. I yawned, stretched, and sat up. A thief stealing underwear wouldn’t come too early; if they were still awake, they’d get caught. Eleven o’clock was just right since the school dormitory closed at eleven-thirty, giving half an hour to steal underwear, which was enough time.
I used the Invisibility Technique and made my way outside, heading downstairs to where Sister Lin and the others were.
I suddenly felt puzzled. How did the underwear thief get up there? This floor wasn’t high, but it wasn’t easy to climb either. Could it be someone particularly agile?
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a “thud” as a figure fell from upstairs. I looked closely, and the outfit was quite strange; the person had a pair of boxer shorts on their head, leaving only their eyes and mouth exposed. At the same time, this guy was holding some underwear, and there was even a ladder beside him. What the hell! This was too outrageous!
It seemed this guy was indeed the underwear thief! Thinking about the false accusations made me angry, so I revealed myself and grabbed the guy by the collar, slapping him repeatedly.
“I’ll teach you to steal! To steal!” I shouted as I continued to hit him, and soon enough, he was knocked out cold.
I took the underwear from his hands, thinking, now let’s see if they still say it was me! Just then, Tang Shuyao poked her head out and asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me! I caught that pervert!” I shouted back.
“Ah! I can’t believe it was really you who stole it! You big pervert!” Tang Shuyao screamed.
I was taken aback for a moment and then said, “Hey, look clearly, the real pervert is—”
What the hell! Where did that guy I just knocked out go?!
