Inside the Flower Picking System's space, two missions appeared on the electronic screen. One was to claim Wei Lan's first kiss, which didn't look like it would be completed anytime soon. The other was the one that had just popped up...
"Mission: Accept Li Feifei's request; Reward: High School English Proficiency (Intermediate)."
Holy crap! Su Ke was delighted. He hadn't expected the reward to be High School English Proficiency (Intermediate). Maybe his English had already reached the beginner level, so he'd been given an intermediate reward outright.
If he succeeded, wouldn't his grades improve quite a bit?
But what exactly was Li Feifei going to ask of him? High rewards meant high risks. Even after Su Ke returned to his seat, he kept guessing, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Su Ke actually wanted to take Sofy out to eat at a restaurant. If one meal could settle the matter of him grabbing her butt, then things would be much simpler.
To show his sincerity, he headed straight to the door of Li Feifei's classroom after morning classes ended and waited for her. Just then, Li Feifei was walking out.
"Let's eat out!" Su Ke had money in his pocket. Ever since he got the Flower Picking System, he'd completed a few missions and saved up 2,500 yuan. He could easily afford a meal out.
"Hmph!" Li Feifei saw that Su Ke seemed genuinely sorry, and the clear light in her eyes was no longer as hostile as it had been that morning. But she had no intention of giving him this chance. With a soft snort, she strode away.
Su Ke got nowhere, and gave an awkward smile. He couldn't just turn and leave, so he had no choice but to obediently follow behind her like an underling, step by step, as she headed for the cafeteria.
When school let out, two places were always the busiest: the school gate and the cafeteria. Su Ke was still trying to figure out what unreasonable demand Li Feifei might make, but he couldn't come up with anything. Then his gaze suddenly fell on her butt...
There were two pockets right over the seat of her sea-blue harem pants. As Li Feifei walked, the pockets swayed from side to side. Su Ke glanced at them, and the sensation of his hands landing there the previous two times immediately came back to him. His right palm had already grown damp with sweat.
"Phew!" Su Ke took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching his fists to calm himself down. He quickly forced his gaze away from her butt and looked up.
Holy crap! His heart started racing twice as fast. That morning, he'd been too nervous to notice, but now he got a clear look. Li Feifei was wearing a pure-white chiffon blouse over a white camisole, and he could make out the straps on the back of her bra.
The bra straps were deep blue, as pure and vivid as the ocean. The moment he saw them, Su Ke thought of something. W-wasn't this the bra he'd found last time? It had to be the same one. The more he thought about it, the more certain he became.
Su Ke still remembered how soft the bra's padding had felt when he'd held it in both hands. His heart seemed ready to leap into his throat. His legs weakened, and his breathing picked up despite himself. As he recalled, the bra had been part of a lingerie set. Since Li Feifei was wearing the top today, what about the bottom?
His gaze was completely out of control, but he was soon disappointed. Her canvas harem pants were far too effective at keeping everything hidden. He couldn't see through them to what lay beneath—not even a hair.
"Hey, hurry up!" Li Feifei had been walking ahead, but when she realized Su Ke wasn't following, she turned around. He had a dazed look in his eyes and was dawdling like a sleepwalker.
"Oh!" Startled back to his senses by Li Feifei's shout, he didn't dare think any more about the deep-blue lingerie set. He quickly caught up and followed her into the cafeteria.
The cafeteria used stainless-steel trays. Su Ke had wanted to treat her as an apology, but Li Feifei didn't give him the chance. They each got their own food, though in the end they still sat at the same table.
The crowd around them bustled, voices filling the air, but Su Ke and Li Feifei sat facing each other in silence. The atmosphere had frozen over, and Li Feifei's steady stare in particular made Su Ke feel a chill run down his spine.
"Uh, I'm sorry!" Su Ke hesitated for a long time before finally apologizing, hoping she'd go easy on him.
"What are you apologizing for?" Li Feifei set her tray down on the table and folded her arms. She tilted her head slightly, her smooth hair falling down her back as she stared coldly at Su Ke, her tone impossible to read.
"Uh, I..." Su Ke gritted his teeth. If he couldn't settle this properly, it would definitely keep causing trouble. Besides, Li Feifei already knew he was in Class 3-8. Damn, that video really was a menace!
He let out a deep breath and gathered his thoughts. After checking that no one nearby was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, "I shouldn't have picked up your bra!"
"What?" Li Feifei had been waiting for Su Ke to repent and promise to change his ways. Hearing that, she thought she must have misheard and frowned slightly. What bra?
Suddenly, Li Feifei's face turned red. But she quickly caught on and slammed her hand on the table. "That's not what I mean!"
Su Ke shuddered and nearly slid under the table. He hadn't expected this girl to have the potential to be Judge Bao. He swallowed and cautiously said, "Then I shouldn't have picked up your bra and squeezed it a few times!"
Li Feifei nearly exploded with rage. She planted both hands on the table, clenched her fists tightly, and glared at Su Ke as if she wanted to devour him alive.
Her agitation made her breasts rise and fall. When she remembered that she was wearing the very lingerie Su Ke had found and returned—and that the hateful guy had squeezed it several times—she couldn't help feeling heat in her nipples.
"I'm talking about you, you pervert, touching my butt!" Li Feifei struggled to keep her voice down. More and more students were coming in to eat. If anyone overheard, it would take less than an hour for everyone at No. 17 High School to know that the victim of the butt-grabbing was the school's number-one beauty, Li Feifei.
"Touch your butt? I didn't!" Su Ke stared at Li Feifei in astonishment. "Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
"It was you!" Li Feifei said, enunciating every word.
"It really wasn't!" Su Ke denied it vehemently.
"It was you!"
"It really wasn't!"
They traded accusations in a heated standoff. Their freshly served food steamed, but neither of them paid it any attention.
"Then how did you find me?" Su Ke asked, forced to change the subject.
"I saw your video on Tieba!" Li Feifei was panting. She hadn't expected arguing to be such hard work. Now she regretted not eating lunch before coming to teach Su Ke a lesson.
"The video where I heroically caught a thief?" Su Ke asked.
"Mm!" Li Feifei nodded.
"See, that proves it! Look at me: I heroically caught a thief and returned the lost property—uh, the bra—to its owner. Does someone as upstanding as me seem like the kind of pervert who'd touch your butt?" Su Ke spoke with righteous indignation, as if he were a wronged hero.
