Long Xi asked, “What's the topic?”

President Deng said, “My hobby is playing chess. If you can make a rhyming poem about chess in five minutes, I'll approve of your request.”

Long Xi didn't think this was too much to ask. She quickly got poetic and wrote a poem in five minutes. “It's contemplative to play chess, with the eagle on the left and the wolf on the right. The chess puzzle is like a swallow pa.s.sing through curtains, difficult to figure out. Could you checkmate the chess puzzle of spring thunder waking insects? It temporarily becomes weak by giving up a rook to save the king. Then, it inversely turns strong by using a cannon to checkmate. As if suddenly enlightened, I become the king amid cheers.”

Deng Zhao said, “It's a good poem with a heptasyllabic regulated verse. It has a neat, balanced ant.i.thesis full of a childlike nature. Okay, I agree.”

This result was quite unexpected. Miss Deng was indeed replaced by a middle-aged female teacher.

This female teacher was very capable and filled with enthusiasm for teaching. She also could speak Mandarin correctly and had a high teaching level, which made her very popular among the students.

Miss Deng was transferred to the school library to work as a management teacher.

President Deng Zhao had a unique educational idea. Instead of biding his time to take revenge, he handled this matter properly.

This time, Long Xi could not tolerate it anymore. She told Xiaolu about it.

If this could be tolerated, what could not? What Long Xi hated most was that other people played these little tricks behind her back.

Xiaolu was angrier than she was. By Sat.u.r.day morning, he asked Weiwei out to break up with her completely.

He still asked Weiwei to go to the Persian Cat's Coffee. Let them end things where they'd started them!

Weiwei cried all night because Xiaolu had treated her with an att.i.tude on Friday. Her eyes were swollen from crying. She locked the door, lost her temper in the room, and threw everything in the room, including the lamp, a book, and a pen, to the floor.

Her mother heard the noise and shouted at her behind the door. The more she shouted at her, the angrier she became.

Later, she received a phone call from Xiaolu. After hearing Xiaolu ask her out, she thought that Xiaolu had changed his mind and dressed herself up.

She wore makeup and a pair of Mickey-Mouse-shaped round discolored sungla.s.ses to hide her red, swollen eyes.

Then, she put on a pink princess dress and a fake diamond headband. On each end of her two small braids was a purple heart-shaped crystal.

She was pet.i.te, but her chest was big. She had a pretty child-like face and a charming full-grown figure!

When Xiaolu saw her coming, he said lazily, “Please stop pestering me! We really are not right for each other!”

Weiwei said brazenly, “Why don't we go to a hotel? I'll give you my virginity. Maybe we'll hit it off in that aspect?”

Xiaolu felt extremely gloomy as he said, “I don't want it! You're like a scallion I don't want to eat. Even if the scallion is cooked deliciously, I will still feel nauseous! Do you have to be so thick-skinned? How about you get yourself some self-esteem?”

Weiwei said, “What on earth do you dislike about me? I can change it!”

Xiaolu said, “What on earth do you like about me? I can change it!”

Weiwei decided to reveal her secret weapon and force Xiaolu to submit!

She took her cell phone out of her pocket, sat next to Xiaolu, and showed him a photo on her phone.

The enlarged photo on her cell phone made Xiaolu nervous.

It was a candid photo of Xiaolu's mother, Fan Qianqian, and a middle-aged man kissing on a hotel bed. Their profiles were very clear, and they both wore bathrobes.

Xiaolu recognized that middle-aged man. It was the movie king and well-known director Lu Hua. Lu Hua was a married man!

Weiwei let Xiaolu look at the next photo, which had been taken from a different camera angle. It showed Lu Hua pressing himself against Fan Qianqian and kissing her neck.

In this photo, Fan Qianqian's full face was visible. Her eyes were closed and her intoxicated expression was even clearer.

Xiaolu grabbed the cell phone and deleted the two photos.

Upon seeing his rare nervous behavior, Weiwei knew that she had bet on the right thing. Thus, she sneered and said, “What's so good about Long Xi? In what way can she compare to me? Would you rather your mother gets utterly discredited, or would you prefer to be with me?”

Xiaolu regained his composure and said, “They're retouched photos! My mother wouldn't be so careless! She always takes bodyguards with her when she goes out. Wherever she goes, she checks the surroundings first.”

Weiwei said, “Really? Well, I have a lot of photos like this. Shall I send them to the newspaper office?”

Xiaolu said, “Does it make sense to you to force me to be with you like this?”

Weiwei sneered and said, “I don't know, wait until I send them. Or, I'll send them to Aunt Qianqian first. Maybe she'll think I'm sweet and persuade you to be with me. It's hard to say.”

To protect his mother, Xiaolu decided to lower his n.o.ble head and surrender.

He tried to say in a plain tone, “Tell me, what do you want in exchange for deleting all the photos?”

Weiwei regained her lovely lolita appearance, put her forefinger under her lips, and turned her head sideways in a thinking pose.

Then, she said in a delicate voice, “Didn't I just say that? I want you to accompany me to the hotel.”

Xiaolu's face clouded over as he said, “Don't you dare push me too hard! It would not be a big deal to completely break up with you! Do you know who my mother is? If she discovers this, you'll land yourself in serious trouble! Ask for something else. What about money? I'll try to satisfy you!”

Weiwei, who felt aggrieved, said, “Do you really think I am such a greedy person? I am not! I love you, not your money! If worse comes to worst, let's fight at the risk of mutual destruction! Anyway, I'm the crockery, while your mother is china!”

After thinking, Xiaolu decided to use the stalling tactic and said tenderly, “Didn't you say you wanted to go to the French Riviera of Nice before? Okay, I'll go with you when the college entrance examination is over.”

Weiwei's eyes lit up. She made a V gesture with one hand and placed it next to her face while saying with a smile, “How could it be so simple? You'll play with me in Nice for seven days, and we'll stay in the same hotel room!” She pouted her small cherry mouth, making it look like a pig's mouth. Then, she made a trumpet-blowing motion with her hand, which probably meant, “what can you do to me?”

Xiaolu said softly, “It's a deal. But you have to delete all the photos. You can't keep any of them.”

Weiwei threw him a kiss, saluted him, and said with a smile, “Yes, sir! Shall we go to the movies after dinner? There's a new suspense movie that you should like! Besides, you should come pick me up on Monday so we can go to school together!”

Although Xiaolu was angry, he was less angry and worried than he had just been.

It seemed that Weiwei still had a little girl's mind after all. As long as he followed her and coaxed her to make her happy, she wouldn't really do anything.

However, there was also another question. Who had taken those photos? Given Weiwei's ability, it could not have been her!

Who was the person behind Weiwei? This matter had to be dealt with!

On Monday, Weiwei, who was radiant with happiness, bounced into the cla.s.sroom holding Xiaolu's arm.

Upon seeing them come in together, Weiwei holding Xiaolu's arm, Long Xi was very shocked.

Xiaolu said, “I'll explain later.”

Long Xi knew him very well. She also knew that there was a reason for everything and that nothing came out of nowhere. Thus, she shrugged magnanimously and said nothing.

At the end of the cla.s.s, Xiaolu asked Long Xi out and told her the whole story.

Long Xi said, “Does Weiwei keep all the photos in her cell phone? I could steal her cell phone for you by using the magic hand. However, Weiwei also has computers in her home. I'm afraid she copied these photos to her computer.”

Xiaolu said, “I think so too. Being blackmailed does not feel good at all!”

Long Xi smiled and said, “It's alright. I'll ask Brother Kun to help you. He must have a way.”

When Long Xi called Mo Kun, Mo Kun laughed and said, “I was just about to call you! It seems that we really have mutual affinity!”

Long Xi smiled and asked, “What are you so happy about?”

Mo Kun said, “I invented a new product! A robot game! When players wear the helmet I invented, their consciousness can travel onto the robotic characters in the game. It's just like playing a live-action game! I believe that once the game is launched, it may become a national game! Also, our company will public-list and start selling shares today! Bull markets! So bullis.h.!.+”

Long Xi smiled and said, “Really bullis.h.!.+”

Mo Kun asked, “What did you call me about?”

Long Xi told him that Xiaolu was being blackmailed by Weiwei.

Mo Kun laughed and said, “It's so easy! I'll make her obediently delete all the photos. I will take care of it!”

Mo Kun did what he said. That night, he made Weiwei have seven hallucinations in her sleep and then manipulated her will.

The next day, under Mo Kun's control, Weiwei deleted all the photos stored in the camera and her mobile phone.

These photos had been sent to her anonymously, so she did not know who had sent them to her.

When Xiaolu received a call from Mo Kun, he discovered that the matter had been resolved and thanked Mo Kun.

Mo Kun laughed and said, “We're brothers. You are welcome!”

Xiaolu said with a smile, “Big Brother Kun, you're so thoughtful!”

Without the threat of those photos, Xiaolu totally ignored Weiwei.

He asked the teacher to change seats and sat behind Long Xi. He was no longer Weiwei's deskmate and did not have dinner with her anymore.

The following days pa.s.sed very quickly as everyone was tense and busy. In the blink of an eye, the winter holidays came, and then it was New Year's.

This was Mo Kun's first Spring Festival ever since he had come to Earth. Now that he had become lovers with Long Xi, they spent New Year's particularly comfortably.

After a few months, the college entrance examination finally began.

After three days of struggle, as soon as Long Xi stepped out of the examination room, she shouted at Lord Mo Kun, who had come to pick her up, “I'm free! I'll give all my college entrance examination books to younger brothers and sisters and never look at them again!”

Lord Mo Kun laughed and lifted her, raising her up and turning in circles!

Suddenly, Long Xi's cell phone rang. It was a call from Yu Lanjie, who had been in a different examination room.

Yu Lanjie asked, “Little Xi, brother w.a.n.gchuan and I will light up Kongming Lanterns to make wishes on campus tonight. Will you come?”
