I Steal My Wife's Money to Support You

"Classmate, who are you?" Kong Zhe pushed up his glasses, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Teacher, could you wait a moment? I want to say a few words to Ping'an Ge." Yan Shubing looked at him pitifully.

Kong Zhe looked at Zhu Ping'an. Only after seeing Zhu Ping'an nod did he stop.

"Ping'an Ge, can you really bear to leave Bingbing all alone?" Yan Shubing's eyes brimmed with tears as she twisted the hem of her clothes between her hands.

"Bingbing..." Zhu Ping'an's heart ached. Then he put on a cold expression. "Go. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Yan Shubing panicked, but quickly realized what Zhu Ping'an was upset about. She lowered her head dejectedly, and tears began pattering down.

"I wanted to stay and help you in the Secret Realm of Star Gazing that day, but the City Guard dragged me away by force. They didn't give me a chance at all. I'm sorry, Ping'an Ge!"

Yan Shubing crouched on the ground, wrapped her arms around her knees, and burst into tears.

At her words, Zhu Ping'an nearly let out a cold laugh. If he hadn't seen Yan Shubing running off as fast as her legs could carry her that day, he might have actually believed her.

"Bingbing, don't cry! Bingbing, seeing you cry breaks my heart!" The moment Zhu Ping'an saw Yan Shubing crying, his heart was thrown into turmoil, and he hurried to comfort her.

"No! Ping'an Ge, don't try to comfort me. It really was my fault! It's all my fault!" Yan Shubing wept so beautifully that anyone would have felt sorry for her.

"In that situation, facing a Seventh Rank Martial Artist, you wouldn't have been able to help even if you'd stayed. I don't blame you, silly girl." Zhu Ping'an's eyes reddened.

"Really? Can Ping'an Ge really forgive me?" Yan Shubing wiped away her tears, her little face full of delight.

"Of course! Don't you understand how I feel about you?" Zhu Ping'an replied gently.

"But I don't want a long-distance relationship." Yan Shubing pouted. "Then how about you apply to the same school as me? Bingbing wants to see you every day."

Kong Zhe had been able to watch the scene calmly at first, but the moment Yan Shubing said that, his scalp went numb!

"Fuck!"

Kong Zhe's eyes bulged behind his glasses. He felt like killing her to silence her.

From what he'd seen so far, it wasn't hard to tell that Zhu Ping'an was Yan Shubing's Big Licker. Cangqiong Academy had finally managed to recruit a champion. If Yan Shubing sweet-talked Zhu Ping'an into going elsewhere, Kong Zhe would absolutely fly into a murderous rage.

"This..." Zhu Ping'an hesitated, then glanced at Kong Zhe. "Bingbing, I've already promised Teacher Kong that I'd go to Cangqiong Academy. Wouldn't it be wrong to go back on my word?"

"I understand." Yan Shubing gave him a rueful smile. "In Ping'an Ge's heart, my future really isn't as important as your prospects. I'll leave now."

With that, Yan Shubing turned and walked away without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, she began counting silently in her heart: one, two, three. Just as she reached three, Zhu Ping'an called out to stop her.

"No! Bingbing, nothing matters more to me than you! I'm willing to do anything for you!"

Yan Shubing chuckled to herself. Zhu Ping'an was such a Big Licker; all she had to do was make a move and he'd be completely smitten.

"Forget it, Ping'an Ge." Yan Shubing didn't turn around, only spoke in a sorrowful voice. "Although Bingbing really wants to go to the same school as you, I know that's just wishful thinking. We... were never meant to be!"

Whether intentionally or not, Yan Shubing turned to look at Kong Zhe after she spoke.

A humorless smile tugged at Zhu Ping'an's lips. So that was what this little green tea was up to.

He turned around in indignation and glared at Kong Zhe.

"Teacher Kong! Bingbing has to go to Cangqiong Academy too! If she doesn't, then I won't go either!"

Kong Zhe: "..."

He wanted to say, "Deal. Double the celebration," but he couldn't.

After all, Zhu Ping'an was Green City's Champion. Even if he was a Big Licker, that didn't change the fact that he was Green City's Champion.

"No problem. I'll take care of it." Kong Zhe could only agree through gritted teeth. It felt as if someone had force-fed him several mouthfuls of shit.

Kong Zhe secretly resolved to arrange for a few beautiful senior students to get close to Zhu Ping'an once they reached Cangqiong Academy, and help him get over his Big Licker affliction.

The so-called Big Lickers were simply people who hadn't met many women.

"Ping'an Ge, thank you! I don't know how I could ever repay you!"

Yan Shubing happily threw herself into Zhu Ping'an's arms, the corners of her mouth lifting in a smile of a scheme brought to fruition.

With her grades, there was no way she could get into Cangqiong Academy. Even a second-tier top academy might not want her; at best, she could attend an ordinary second-tier university.

Yet Zhu Ping'an had brought her into Cangqiong Academy. How could she not be overjoyed?

"Bingbing, you know how I feel about you. I'd do anything for you." Zhu Ping'an spoke gently, though his expression was filled with disgust.

In the original story, he and Yan Shubing had attended the same ordinary second-tier university. He'd known there was a good chance she'd end up at the same school as him again, but he hadn't expected it to happen like this.

Still, this wasn't so bad. With Yan Shubing around, he had a better chance of obtaining the Cangqiong Ancient Saint's Legacy. After all, she had the Female Protagonist's Halo. Even if nothing else, he could at least ride her coattails and share in her good fortune.

The two of them, each harboring their own schemes, embraced. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were a loving young couple.

After holding her for a long time, Zhu Ping'an finally let Yan Shubing go and asked her tenderly, "Bingbing, do you trust me?"

"I do!" Yan Shubing nodded bashfully.

"Good! Then I have to confess something. The Leng Family helped me in the Secret Realm of Star Gazing, but their help came with conditions. Leng Yuanting might force me to get engaged to Leng Tianjiao!"

Zhu Ping'an clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.

"What? Ping'an Ge, you're going to get engaged to another woman?" Tears sprang to Yan Shubing's eyes, pattering onto the ground.

Leng Tianjiao was beautiful and had a great figure. Yan Shubing immediately felt a powerful sense of crisis. She didn't want to lose such a useful Big Licker as Zhu Ping'an.

She could let go of the fish in her own pond, but she absolutely couldn't let someone else fish them out!

"I have no choice, Bingbing. The Leng Family rules Green City with an iron fist, as you know. If I dare refuse, I might not even live to see the next day."

Zhu Ping'an's face was twisted with pain. He gripped Yan Shubing's shoulders tightly and spoke earnestly.

"But don't worry, Bingbing! Even if I really marry her, it'll only be for show. You're the only one I'll ever give my whole heart to!"

"Really?" Yan Shubing looked utterly forlorn.

"Really! I swear!"

Zhu Ping'an held up four fingers.

"And once I get the Leng Family's support, it'll benefit both of us, Bingbing! I can use their connections to get you more cultivation resources. In short, I can steal my wife's money to support you!"
