I Steal My Wife's Money to Support You

"Classmate, you are?" 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 said pitifully.

Kong Zhe looked at Zhu Ping'an, and only stopped when he saw Zhu Ping'an nod.

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

"Bingbing..." Zhu Ping'an's heart ached, but then his face turned cold. "Go. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Panic seized Yan Shubing's heart, but she quickly realized what Zhu Ping'an was upset about. She lowered her head in grievance, tears dripping down in rapid succession.

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

Yan Shubing crouched on the ground, hugging her knees, and burst into loud sobs.

Zhu Ping'an nearly let out a cold laugh. If he hadn't seen Yan Shubing sprinting away on all fours that day, he might have almost believed her.

"Bingbing, don't cry, Bingbing! When you cry like this, it breaks my heart!" The sight of Yan Shubing in tears immediately threw Zhu Ping'an's heart into chaos, and he hurried to comfort her.

"No! Ping'an Ge, don't try to persuade me. It really is Bingbing's fault! It's all on me!" Yan Shubing wept like a pear blossom in the rain, a pitiful sight that could move anyone.

"In that situation, facing a Seventh Rank Martial Artist, staying wouldn't have helped. I don't blame you, you little fool." Zhu Ping'an's eyes reddened slightly.

"Really? Can Ping'an Ge truly forgive me?" Yan Shubing wiped her tears, her small face brimming with surprise.

"Of course! Don't you understand my feelings?" Zhu Ping'an said gently.

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

At first, Kong Zhe could watch the drama calmly, but the moment Yan Shubing said that, his scalp went numb!

"Damn it!"

Behind his glasses, Kong Zhe's eyes bulged wide. He felt like killing someone to cover it up.

From the situation, it wasn't hard to see that Zhu Ping'an was Yan Shubing's lick dog. The Cangqiong Academy had barely managed to recruit a top scholar; if Yan Shubing talked Zhu Ping'an into leaving with a few words, he would absolutely snap and commit murder.

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

"I understand." Yan Shubing revealed a bittersweet smile. "In Ping'an Ge's heart, Bingbing really can't compare to your future. I'll go now."

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

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

"No! Bingbing, in my heart, nothing is more important than you! I'm willing to give up everything for you!"

Yan Shubing smirked inwardly. Zhu Ping'an was just a big lick dog; she could easily bewitch him with minimal effort.

"Forget it, Ping'an Ge." Yan Shubing didn't turn back, speaking instead with a plaintive tone. "Although Bingbing really wants to be in the same school as you, I know it's just wishful thinking. We... were never meant to be."

Whether intentionally or not, Yan Shubing glanced back at Kong Zhe after speaking.

Zhu Ping'an curled his lips into a smile devoid of warmth. So this little green tea was setting him up.

He turned his head in grief and anger, glaring at Kong Zhe.

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

Kong Zhe: "..."

He wanted to say "deal, double happiness," but unfortunately, he couldn't.

After all, Zhu Ping'an was the Green City Champion. Even if he was a big lick dog, that didn't change the fact.

"No problem, I'll arrange it." Kong Zhe could only grit his teeth and agree, feeling as if he'd been force-fed a mouthful of shit.

Kong Zhe silently resolved that once they reached Cangqiong Academy, he would arrange for a few beautiful senior female disciples to get close to Zhu Ping'an and help cure him of his lick dog syndrome.

So-called lick dogs were just men who hadn't seen enough women.

"Ping'an Ge, thank you! I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

Yan Shubing happily threw herself into Zhu Ping'an's arms, a sly smile curling at the corner of her lips.

With her grades, she had no qualifications to enter Cangqiong Academy. Even a second-tier academy might not want her; at best, she'd end up at a third-rate school.

But Zhu Ping'an had brought her into Cangqiong Academy—how could she not be thrilled?

"Bingbing, you know my heart. I'd do anything for you." Zhu Ping'an spoke tenderly, but the expression on his face was one of pure disgust.

In the original plot, he ended up at the same third-rate school as Yan Shubing. He knew she'd probably still be at the same school as him, but he hadn't expected it to happen this way.

Still, with Yan Shubing around, his chances of obtaining the Cangqiong Ancient Saint's Legacy were much higher. After all, the Female Protagonist's Halo was right there; at the very least, he could leech off her luck.

The two of them, each harboring their own schemes, embraced like this. Anyone watching would think they were a pair of lovey-dovey young lovers.

After holding each other for a long while, Zhu Ping'an finally let Yan Shubing go and asked with deep affection.

"Bingbing, do you trust me?"

"I do!" Yan Shubing nodded shyly.

"Good! Then I need to confess something to you. In the Secret Realm of Star Gazing, although the Leng Family helped me, 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? Is Ping'an Ge going to get engaged to another woman?" Yan Shubing's tears came on cue, dripping down to the ground in rapid succession.

Leng Tianjiao was beautiful and had a great figure, which immediately made her feel a strong sense of crisis. She didn't want to lose such a useful simp as Zhu Ping'an.

The fish in her pond, Yan Shubing's fish, she could discard, but they absolutely could not be poached by someone else!

"I have no choice either, Bingbing. The Leng Family rules Green City with an iron fist, as you know. If I dared to refuse, I wouldn't even live to see the next day's sun."

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

"But Bingbing, rest assured! Even if I do marry her, it's just going through the motions. The one I can give my heart and soul to will always be only you!"

"Really?" Yan Shubing was full of grievance.

"Really! I swear to heaven!"

Zhu Ping'an raised four fingers.

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