This childhood game, now experienced again firsthand, stirred something in Su Cheng's heart.
However, he didn't immediately respond to the other person's words, instead sinking into thought.
Because it was clearly Liu Qingyue behind him.
Guessing correctly would seem too boring...
How should he reply?
As Su Cheng pondered, Liu Qingyue leaned in closer and whispered, "There's a reward if you guess wrong. But if you guess right..."
At this point, the hand covering his eyes pressed down slightly.
Feeling the pressure on his eyelids, Su Cheng jolted in surprise and quickly raised his own hand to grab her soft fingers.
"Stop fooling around. Be mindful of appearances in public," he muttered, trying to pull her hand away.
Both kept their voices low, but Zhao Feifei and Chen Mei'er beside them, oblivious to their conversation, could only see the affectionate and intimate display between the two. Their expressions immediately turned astonished.
After all, this senior's looks and demeanor were of exceptional quality—clearly not the kind of girl raised in an ordinary household.
Yet she was actively engaging in playful banter with Su Cheng! And from their posture, it even seemed flirtatious...
First, two enthusiastic classmates, and now a lively and adorable senior?
Su Cheng really had a way with women, didn't he?
Earlier, it could be brushed off as friendly interactions with classmates.
But now?
Even Chen Mei'er couldn't help but reassess Su Cheng, realizing she had misjudged him.
She had initially thought he was just academically outstanding, with no other redeeming qualities. But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
"Hmph, no sense of fun at all. Fine, since I'm in a good mood today, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow," Liu Qingyue chuckled, releasing his hand. She then clasped her hands behind her back, slightly leaning forward with a radiant smile, her sparkling eyes particularly mesmerizing. "Just tell me what you'd like to eat."
"Just a regular breakfast is fine," Su Cheng replied awkwardly. Though she had let go, her lingering fragrance was still vivid to him. He also noticed the two bystanders straightening their clothes, clearly waiting for an introduction.
For ordinary students like them, befriending a senior of notable status in the school was certainly a good thing.
But the problem was—this senior wasn’t as warm and friendly as she appeared. Beneath that surface, she was mischievous, even more so than anyone else.
If Liu Qingyue decided to amuse herself by teasing this ordinary couple, the consequences could be disastrous.
Thinking this, Su Cheng sighed inwardly and considered leading the senior away. But before he could, the two approached, and Liu Qingyue seized the opportunity to ask, "Junior, are these two your friends?"
"Yeah, they’re fellow scholarship students who got in with me," Su Cheng had no choice but to introduce them. "Zhao Feifei and Chen Mei'er. They're a couple."
"Oh, so we're all the same then!" Liu Qingyue smiled sweetly, waving her right hand. "Hi there! I'm Liu Qingyue, also a scholarship student—though I got in last year!"
The two exchanged surprised glances, an inexplicable sense of familiarity rising in their hearts.
"Hello, Senior!"
"Senior, you're so beautiful!"
"We were already a couple before getting admitted."
"A couple who got in together?!" Liu Qingyue gasped, covering her mouth in exaggerated surprise. "No wonder you two seem so deeply connected. I’m really envious!"
"Not at all, not at all."
"Senior, your relationship with Su Cheng is the one worth envying!" they replied modestly.
At this point, Zhao Feifei suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, Su Cheng, what’s your relationship with Senior?"
"Yeah, yeah, mind sharing?"
"It's just a normal—" Su Cheng was about to brush it off when Liu Qingyue suddenly cut in, casting a suggestive look at the two and saying with a grin, "My relationship with Su Cheng isn’t just an ordinary senior-junior one, you know~"
"Not an ordinary senior-junior relationship?"
"Are you two dating?"
Hearing this, their shock deepened, and they immediately turned their gazes to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng opened his mouth, about to explain, but Liu Qingyue nudged him with her elbow and whispered, "Your move now. Find a middle ground."
How was he supposed to handle this?
What kind of explanation...
Middle ground?
Fiancée’s maid?
My maid?
No way, absolutely not.
But seeing Liu Qingyue’s expectant expression, Su Cheng hesitated, torn over what to say.
Not an ordinary relationship?
So he couldn’t just say they were regular seniors and juniors.
A middle ground...
Middle ground?
Middle ground!
Could Senior be hinting at "fiancée"?
Was this the Student Council President’s idea?
Sending her as a shield!
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Previously, the President had proposed engagement because Su Cheng was getting too close to other girls. Though he had tactfully declined, maybe now the President had sent Liu Qingyue as a deterrent.
This was the perfect plan—it wouldn’t expose his identity while keeping other women at bay.
After all, Liu Qingyue represented the President.
Truly, the President was brilliant.
To come up with such an ingenious method!
This scheme was nothing short of masterful.
He’d call it: My Fake Fiancée is Working Hard to Keep Other Women Away.
With this realization, everything made sense.
No wonder Senior emphasized finding a middle ground.
This must be why she sought him out today!
"My relationship with Senior Liu is... complicated," Su Cheng mused for a moment, carefully choosing his words before raising his head and pointing at Liu Qingyue solemnly. "She’s my fiancée."
"Ohhh—that explains it..." Zhao Feifei nodded in understanding, only to freeze mid-motion and blurt out, "Wait... fiancée?!"
"She’s your fiancée?!" Chen Mei'er’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at Su Cheng in disbelief.
"Huh?!"
Even Liu Qingyue beside them slowly turned her head, her beautiful eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at Su Cheng, as if saying, Are you hearing yourself right now?
But Su Cheng, wearing a look of I’ve figured out your plan, blinked at Liu Qingyue before bidding the two farewell. "We have some matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave now!"
With that, he dragged the still-stunned Liu Qingyue away.
Soon, they arrived at a quiet corner.
Liu Qingyue was nearly speechless from Su Cheng’s declaration. After a moment, she mentally retraced his thought process and finally grasped his logic.
She couldn’t help but laugh. "You didn’t actually think I was sent by the young lady to help you ward off trouble, did you?"
"Wasn’t that the case?" Su Cheng frowned in rebuttal.
"How could that be?" Liu Qingyue chuckled and shook her head, then quickly composed herself, her expression turning serious as she spoke earnestly, "Why are you so dense? Just compromise and call me 'jie' instead of 'xuejie,' wouldn’t that work?"
