Li Guanqi: [I got it.]
Su Cheng was excitedly contacting Li Guanqi on his phone. After seeing her brief reply...
He felt a bit depressed and thought to himself: Could she be in a bad mood?
He stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.
Finally, he decided to check when they met later. If she really was in a bad mood, he would coax Li Guanqi with a cake.
...
When he got home and was about to have something simple to fill his stomach, his phone rang.
He took it out and looked.
The message was from Xuan Ying.
Without hesitation, Su Cheng immediately clicked to view it.
Xuan Ying: [Are you there?]
Seeing this message, Su Cheng frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Xuan Ying dared to contact him. He knew that in this situation, she should be avoiding him, but instead, she was doing the opposite.
Normally, Xuan Ying and he didn't contact each other much on the phone. The last message between them was from a long time ago...
When something is abnormal, there must be something fishy.
Could it be that Sister Qin had come up with some new scheme for her?
He replied warily: [Yes, I'm here.]
Xuan Ying: [Can you lend me some money?]
Seeing this message, Su Cheng's face darkened. As expected, what was coming had finally come. He sighed and still chose to give the money to Xuan Ying. He decided to follow the plan, so he replied straightforwardly.
Not a Fan of Oranges: [How much and when do you need it?]
Xuan Ying: [250,000 yuan. Now. The card number is xxxx...]
Not a Fan of Oranges: [I'll transfer the money to you right away.]
Xuan Ying: [Thank you.]
Not a Fan of Oranges: [Wait for me a moment. I'll be done soon.]
...
At Flame City Private Academy
"Sister Qin, he didn't even ask me why," Xuan Ying held her phone, stared blankly at the messages on the screen, and murmured to herself with a look of guilt on her face.
Early on Saturday morning, she came to the library to meet Sister Qin. After a lot of persuasive brainwashing from her, she finally decided to follow Sister Qin's arrangements and directly asked Su Cheng for a loan.
Ye Ruiqin was sitting beside her, flipping through a magazine. Hearing her words, she looked up indifferently and said, "This man is really smart. It makes me appreciate him even more. But he's still a bit inexperienced."
Soon, the money was transferred in.
Then, Su Cheng also sent a message: "The money has been transferred."
When Xuan Ying saw this message, her eyes turned red.
He didn't have much money himself, but he still resolutely transferred the money to her.
However, she didn't cry. Instead, she quickly looked up at Sister Qin beside her and asked, "What should I do next?"
"Reply to him and call him an idiot!"
Sister Qin directly ordered, "Then tell him that you're a fraudster and you stole this person's account!"
Xuan Ying was stunned upon hearing this, and then a look of confusion appeared on her face. "Why?!"
"Just listen to me!"
Sister Qin stared at her seriously with a stern look on her face.
Gritting her teeth, Xuan Ying could only suppress the confusion in her heart, then edited a message and sent the words just mentioned.
...
Xuan Ying: "You're such a fool. You've been scammed by me!"
Xuan Ying: "This account has been stolen by me. All your money is gone!"
After reading this message, Su Cheng's face alternated between different expressions. He didn't understand what kind of game the other party was playing.
Originally, he was still waiting for the other party to say thank you or something about repaying the money, and then he would reply with "You don't have to pay it back." But the development completely deviated from the preset track.
"What the hell is going on?!"
He couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice.
After that, Xuan Ying didn't reply anymore.
Moreover, all subsequent messages seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
However, just then, there was a "@everyone" in the class group.
Zhao Yan (Disciplinary Committee Member): "@everyone. Xuan Ying's account has been stolen. Please don't believe any of the messages she sent!"
Zhao Yan's message caused quite a stir.
Wang Guancong: "Who is it? How dare they be so bold!"
Gao Ye: "Holy crap?!"
Yang Jiaying (Math Class Representative): "These scammers these days are really bold."
Li Guanqi: "?"
Li Wen (Class Monitor): "Has this scammer contacted anyone else?"
Zhao Yan (Disciplinary Committee Member): "Now Xuan Ying has contacted the software customer service. They said they'll restore Xuan Ying's account soon."
Wang Guancong: "But I don't think this scammer can cheat much anyway. After all, everyone knows that Xuan Ying isn't short of money. If someone gets scammed, they're really stupid."
Gao Ye: "How about when the scammer contacts us, we try to scam the scammer instead? Let him go to jail for the rest of his life?"
Yang Jiaying (Math Class Representative): "+1"
Liu Qiang: "+10086"
Gao Ye: "+1"
Wang Guancong: "+ID number!"
Li Wen removed Xuan Ying from the group.
Li Wen: "Maybe the scammer is watching our chat. I'll remove her from the group first. I'll add her back when her account is restored."
...
Seeing the discussion in the class group, Su Cheng's face darkened. He inexplicably got labeled as a fool.
What kind of game were they playing this time?
...
"Sister Qin, can you tell me the purpose of all this now?"
Xuan Ying put her phone on the table and stared at Sister Qin sitting across from her.
"Hehe," Sister Qin let out a soft laugh, picked up her thermos and took a sip of water. She nodded at Xuan Ying and explained, "I guess he'll probably tell you not to pay it back. Maybe he'll even use this as an excuse to ask you out alone, and then he'll make things clear to you face - to - face and directly reject you."
Hearing this, Xuan Ying was shocked. She thought that if Su Cheng really said not to pay it back, she would definitely try her best to return the money to him.
However, Xuan Ying couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Is what you're asking me to do now related to this?"
Sister Qin nodded, with a sinister smile on her lips. "Wait for about ten minutes, then contact Zhao Yan and tell her that you've retrieved your account. Then ask her to invite you back into the group. Explain in the group that your account has been recovered and there's no loss."
"But I scammed Su Cheng, didn't I?"
"No, this is your secret with Su Cheng," Sister Qin waved her index finger. "Then pay the money back to him. Explain that the money has been recovered and apologize!"
Although Xuan Ying was a bit confused, seeing Sister Qin's confident look, she finally agreed.
Xuan Ying: "Give me your card number. I'll transfer the money back to you. I'm really sorry. My account was stolen just now. I'm so sorry."
Not a Fan of Oranges: "Haha, I knew there was something wrong with the cardholder's name not being yours. I thought your card was frozen by your family... It turns out it was a scammer."
Seeing this message, Xuan Ying patiently waited for Su Cheng's next words.
...
On the other side, after seeing this message, Su Cheng had already roughly understood what was going on.
If he didn't know the truth, in essence, he transferred money to a scammer, and then Xuan Ying retrieved her account and returned the money to him.
If he took the money back, he'd owe her a favor.
Moreover, explaining in the group that there was no loss was a way to take care of his feelings. Otherwise, if this got out, he'd be laughed at. The school newspaper would definitely have the headline "Student Su Cheng was scammed" tomorrow.
This not only saved his face and spared him from social embarrassment but also repaid the money on behalf of the scammer at her own expense. It was simply a huge favor, making him owe Xuan Ying a massive debt of gratitude.
"Good job! You really are something!"
However, upon learning the truth, Su Cheng gritted his teeth so hard that they made a creaking sound. He almost couldn't hold back from cursing out loud.
If it weren't for Li Guanqi, who had informed him of the truth in advance, this move would have surely made him develop an overwhelming crush on Xuan Ying!
Originally, he adhered to the principle that as long as others didn't cross his bottom line, he would never resort to his fourth force - Liu Qingyue. But now, Su Cheng had changed his mind. He was going to pour his heart out to his senior sister!
But before that...
He had to nip this scheme in the bud!
…………………………
After hearing Sister Qin's explanation, Xuan Ying lowered her head, seemingly feeling guilty about using such a method.
A flicker of struggle flashed across her eyes.
A moment later, Xuan Ying took a deep breath, looked up at Sister Qin, and said seriously, "Isn't this going too far? And..."
Xuan Ying's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in them. "What should I do if he finds out?"
"Don't think too much about it," Sister Qin said with a gentle smile, her voice still full of allure. "If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know?"
"Besides, if you pursue him in the right way, do you think you'll succeed? Do you want him to be lovey - dovey with someone else in the future?"
"I..." Hearing this, Xuan Ying couldn't help but get anxious.
"Alright," Sister Qin interrupted her and continued, "The idea of getting happiness without paying any price only exists in fairy tales. And don't you feel that the process of striving now already makes you happy?"
Xuan Ying lowered her head, and her hand holding the phone paused. Those words were like a spell, echoing in her ears over and over again.
Suddenly, a message popped up on the screen.
Xuan Ying immediately composed herself and began to read the content of the message sent by the other person.
I Don't Like Oranges: "Please don't. Although the scammer used your name to deceive me, I'll take this as a lesson for my own stupidity. Please don't transfer the money to me. Otherwise, I'll feel really bad."
Seeing that Su Cheng would rather forgo the 250,000 yuan than owe her a favor, a wave of sourness and pain welled up in Xuan Ying's heart.
At this time, Sister Qin also looked up, leaned closer to her phone, and carefully observed Su Cheng's reply. A smile appeared on her face. "Alright, give him a way out. Obviously, it's just a polite remark, so just go along with it."
"How?"
"Just say that the money will definitely be recovered."
"Okay." Xuan Ying quickly edited and sent the message.
Soon, a reply came from Su Cheng.
I Don't Like Oranges: "Oh, that's great. But give it to me after it's recovered. You don't need to apologize to me because this is a lesson I deserve. Thank you."
Xuan Ying: "No, I still want to make up for it as much as possible."
I Don't Like Oranges sent a 60 - second voice message: "Forget it, really don't need to. I don't blame you. After all, you're also an innocent victim. So about this matter, well, it's not that I don't want it. But let's wait until it's recovered. Because nothing is certain. How about it? It's not impossible. This time, it depends on human effort. I can wait. Wait. You can do it a little later. Later, then, right, I... Well, right, this, including this. Oh, well, you'll see then. And then this matter will be over. Right, okay, ah, that's it for now."
The two of them were stunned on the spot after listening to this message. Xuan Ying looked up blankly. "Sister Qin, what does he mean?"
Sister Qin frowned and pondered for a moment, pretending to be in deep thought. Then, she suddenly realized and said, "Maybe he was deceived and is a bit dazed?"
Xuan Ying was shocked for a moment, and then her heart trembled. She felt even more self - reproachful. "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! It's all my fault..."
"Alright," Sister Qin patted Xuan Ying on the shoulder. "Let's not stimulate him for now. Transfer 260,000 yuan to him in a few days."
"Oh, no. He definitely won't accept the extra money."
"According to the recent trends of various national exchange rates, some have gone up. Then you can say that the scammer exchanged the money. There'll even be an extra 10,000 yuan after it's recovered. This way, he'll shake off his previous dejection and regain his vitality. Maybe he'll even be grateful to the scammer. Even if he finds out the truth later, he won't hate you."
Xuan Ying blinked her eyes. "This..."
Sister Qin: "You've already adjusted his mood to the best today. This has achieved the expected effect. Come to me again on Monday when it's time to pay back the money."

"Sigh~"
Looking at the remaining 7,800 yuan in his possession, Su Cheng couldn't help but let out a sigh. Although the money he gave to Xuan Ying would come back, he always felt uneasy when he didn't have much money on him. Moreover, he was going to invite Li Guanqi to the coffee shop later and planned to go to Taoyuan on Sunday.
He didn't intend to confront them directly. He knew that Xuan Ying was innocent, and it was all Sister Qin from the library's fault!
He wanted revenge and planned to fight magic with magic!
"Ding dong."
Just as he was thinking about whether to discuss it with his senior sister, a message came in on his phone.
Li Guanqi: [We're already here.]
"Hmm? We?"
Seeing this message, Su Cheng was momentarily stunned, but he didn't think too much about it. He simply replied, picked up his coat, and headed straight out of the door towards the appointed coffee shop.
Ten - plus minutes later
When he arrived at the coffee shop, he saw two beautiful figures in the distance, one in black and the other in white. One was Li Guanqi, as always dressed in black, wearing a beret, exuding an air of intellect, gentleness, and a scholarly atmosphere.
The other girl was wearing a white dress and had a black princess - cut hairstyle, revealing an overly cute little face. She was looking around like an angel. As he got closer, especially her eyes, which seemed to contain the brilliance of the stars, left Su Cheng stunned for a moment.
"Damn it! Li Zhao!"

Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
