Shen Jintai had said countless more excessive things than this in the past. It was just that this time, it was bit different. The tone was subtle, less colorful, but more roguish.

Yan Qiuchi was silent.

Shen Jintai waited for Xiao Ai to come online and give him the extra points. However, even after a long time, he didn't hear anything from it. When he looked at Yan Qiuchi again, he had already taken a step back and staring at him coldly.

......

"You two..." Mrs. Yan stood at the door blankly staring at them: "It's okay. It's okay! You guys continue."

Mrs. Yan quickly retreated to her room.

......

Shen Jintai fastened up his collar and rushed towards Mrs. Yan: "Auntie..." After a couple steps, he was forcibly dragged back by Yan Qiuchi.

Although he claimed to be a 1*, he was trapped by Yan Qiuchi, who was more 1 than himself. Looking at that handsome and terrible face, Shen Jintai shuddered.

*1 = a reference to being a top/shou/gong.

Whether if it was height, appearance, or masculinity, he was ruthlessly crushed.

What could he rely on to snatch Bai Qingquan from Yan Qiuchi's hands? That was of course by getting sexier and prettier!

Thinking of this, he immediately became more arrogant and stared back at Yan Qiuchi.

Wrong. Yan Qiuchi looked at Shen Jintai. The eyes are wrong. The former Shen Jintai didn't look at him like this. His eyes should be wretched, hungry, with unabashed desire, not like how they were now, lucid and provocative.

While changing his appearance couldn't be considered unusual, he felt a strangeness from Shen Jintai. It was like he was a completely different person. Yan Qiuchi released Shen Jintai.

Shen Jintai's clothes were all wrinkled. He pulled his neckline and asked: "Do you still want to bite? If not, I'm leaving."

Yan Qiuchi said: "No matter how many tricks you play, it's useless. I will not love you." Shen Jintai deliberately said to him that Bai Qingquan was better than him. He deliberately got close to his brother, Yan Yaoxuan. The reason? To anger him. To make him jealous. How unamusing.

When Shen Jintai heard this, he became angry: "You can rest assure*. I'm not interested in you at all now. I have someone else I like."

*Have one hundred and twenty hearts (一百二十个心.) Idiom referring to be reassured.

Yan Qiuchi asked coldly: "Who?"

Shen Jintai gave a smile. A tiny malicious slyness suddenly appeared on his face. Without answering him, he walked directly towards Mrs. Yan's room.

Shen Jintai: "Hello, Xiao Ai. Was there any fluctuation at all?!"

Xiao Ai: "The fluctuation value detected just now was not high. I'll reluctantly give you one point. You have accumulated a total of six points."

Shen Jintai: "...Is this something you could give at your discretion? If so, can I please have you open a back door?"

Xiao Ai: "Ah?! What back door! How despicable!"

Shen Jintai: "..."

Shen Jintai knocked on the door, and heard Mrs. Yan said excitedly behind the door: "Come in."

When he entered, he saw Mrs. Yan smiling at a flower more brilliant than the one on her head. "...Auntie, let me explain..."

Mrs. Yan: "No need to explain. Auntie understands."
