Trouble Arises

Chapter 41: Aunt Flo

"Really, I just found Li Feifei's things and returned them to her. Plus, I'm like Lei Feng—I do good deeds without leaving my name!" Su Ke would absolutely never admit that he had first groped her backside and then picked up her bra. He wouldn't admit it even if it killed him.

"Really?" Wei Lan rode her bike, tilting her head to look at Su Ke. Her eyes clearly showed some disbelief, though her expression had softened significantly.

"It's truly the truth. She only came looking for me because she saw the video on Tieba yesterday!" Su Ke felt his explanation had a certain logic to it.

"Then why did she kick you?" It turned out that the scene of Su Ke talking to Li Feifei in the hallway that morning had already been leaked by Wang Xiaogang. No wonder she was so furious.

"Kick me? Oh! She insisted on treating me to lunch, and I didn't agree. Do you think I do good deeds just to get a free meal? If that were the case, I wouldn't have stayed anonymous in the first place! She begged me for ages, and if I hadn't seen how desperate she was—she was even getting handsy with me—I still wouldn't have agreed!" Su Ke spoke with righteous indignation, almost believing his own words.

"Hmph! Then you had lunch with her and even got into a fight?" In truth, after Wei Lan found out Su Ke had been taken to the principal's office for fighting, she hadn't been able to focus for an entire class. She had wanted to ask him about the situation the whole time but never had the chance.

"Yeah!" Only then did Su Ke notice the hint of worry in Wei Lan's eyes. Before she could speak, he continued, "It's fine now. It's already been resolved, and the principal didn't give me a hard time. After all, I wasn't in the wrong!"

"As long as you're okay!" Hearing Su Ke's words, Wei Lan seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but she immediately turned her head away. "Then tell me, what's the deal with that Liu Qingqing? I heard she's actively trying to be your girlfriend?"

"Sigh! It's all because of that video of me catching the thief. Who knows what's going on? Do you think it's because I'm too handsome?" Su Ke shrugged, wearing a look of helplessness.

"Pah! You lecher, you have the nerve to call yourself handsome? Where are you handsome? Tell me, why did you touch that girl's chest? Did you do it on purpose?" The more Wei Lan spoke, the angrier she became, her eyes widening again.

"How could I have done it on purpose!" Su Ke knew this must have been spread by that big-mouth Wang Xiaogang. He slapped his forehead and sighed, "You didn't see what that girl looks like. She has a buzz cut, even shorter than mine, and she looks just like Sandra Ng. Could I possibly have any interest in touching her?"

Su Ke could only apologize to Wang Huan in his heart. To appease Wei Lan and complete his mission, he had to make a small sacrifice! In reality, he knew Wang Huan wasn't exactly ugly, even if her hairstyle was a bit unique.

"Pah! You touch someone's chest and you think you're in the right? And you're still being picky?" Once Wei Lan heard Su Ke's description, she immediately associated it with the image of Sister Thirteen of Portland Street from Young and Dangerous. It also fit her suspicions; after all, a girl who dared to fight in a hallway had to be the tough type!

"Hehe, if I were to touch anyone, I'd definitely choose to touch yours!" Su Ke wasn't paying attention and let his mouth run loose, saying it directly. As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Lan's small chest. Although it wasn't as large as those mature women's, it was still shapely, delicate, and firm.

Wei Lan had intended to lecture Su Ke again, but after hearing that, her cheeks suddenly flushed with a deep red, and two small dimples appeared. She paused for a moment before muttering at Su Ke, "You lecher!"

Seeing Wei Lan's expression, Su Ke quickly patted his chest and let out a breath of relief. He had felt something was wrong the moment he said it, fearing he hadn't appeased her but had instead provoked her to fly into a rage.

At that moment, a notification sound echoed in the Flower Picking System's space, signaling the mission was complete. Su Ke was stunned; he hadn't expected to finish the task so quickly. A smile spread across his face—not only was the mission done, but those 300 yuan were now in his pocket.

For some reason, although Wei Lan wasn't angry anymore, she became somewhat silent for the rest of the ride. Su Ke snuck a few glances and noticed the girl's face remained flushed, a faint smile hanging on the corners of her lips, as if she were thinking of something pleasant.

This state lasted until they reached the bottom of Wei Lan's apartment building. Watching her walk upstairs with her head bowed, a confused Su Ke turned his bike around and headed back.

With this mission complete, Su Ke now had 3,500 yuan in cash. For a grassroots high school senior, this was undoubtedly a small fortune.

"Looks like I should go get a bank card," Su Ke thought to himself while riding toward Fangfei Yiren Beauty Salon. Before entering, he checked his appearance in the glass as usual, then stepped inside.

"Sister Xiaobai!"

Lin Xiaobai looked up, saw the bright smile on Su Ke's face, and waved him over.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiaobai?" Su Ke noticed something off about her expression; she seemed embarrassed, her face flushed red.

"Su Ke, can you do a favor for your sister?" Lin Xiaobai was still wearing her silver professional suit, her silky long hair pinned up at the back, and her delicate face lightly made up, exuding the aura of a professional woman. Seeing Su Ke approach, she leaned forward slightly, resting her arms on the front desk.

Su Ke walked over naturally. His intuition told him that Lin Xiaobai wanted to tell him something private. He reached the desk, leaned his head in, and lowered his voice, "Sister Xiaobai, just say the word. Whether it's climbing a mountain of blades or diving into a sea of fire, I'm your man!"

"Go on! Stop talking nonsense! It's not that serious!" Lin Xiaobai giggled and gave Su Ke's shoulder a light, weightless punch.

Su Ke chuckled, feeling as if her punch was just tickling him. He sniffed the air, "Sister Xiaobai, you smell so good!"

As Su Ke leaned in, he caught the unique fragrance she carried. Every woman had her own distinct scent—a fragrance unadorned, present yet elusive, better than any perfume. It was like a poison, and as Su Ke inhaled, his mind began to wander uncontrollably.

"Stop with the glib talk, I'm being serious!" Lin Xiaobai said, extending a jade-like hand to her lips as if to prevent others from hearing. Her lips, coated in a light gloss, parted slightly as she whispered in a voice only Su Ke could hear, "My relative is here."

"Relative?" Su Ke was instantly confused, looking at Lin Xiaobai, "Your relative is here, Sister Xiaobai? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"My Aunt Flo is here." Lin Xiaobai glanced around, and seeing no one else, she added.

The more Su Ke heard, the more confused he became. But since Lin Xiaobai wanted his help, he couldn't refuse. "Sister Xiaobai, do you need me to pick someone up? Don't worry, your aunt is my aunt, you can count on me!"

Suddenly, Su Ke froze. He blinked, stuttering, "You mean... Aunt Flo? That Aunt Flo?"
