Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

"During the day, keep the lead weights on while at school, and take them off when you go to the bar at night."

After hearing Xiaofan talk about what happened last night, Shen Zuimo was somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, Xiaofan remained so calm even when facing a knife.

However, getting hurt is never a good thing.

Shen Zuimo also tacitly approved of Xiaofan working at the bar, but advised Xiaofan not to involve himself in dangerous situations anymore.

Xiaofan, with panda eyes, nodded to whatever Shen Zuimo said.

The three beers from last night indeed got him drunk; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to put his hand into Shen Zuimo's clothes. After waking up, Xiaofan only had vague memories of last night and couldn't remember a thing.

"Shen Zuimo..."

"Hmm?"

"Did I do anything inappropriate to you last night?"

"You did."

Shen Zuimo's response was quick, clearly displeased with Xiaofan's actions last night. But this was merely on the surface. If she were truly upset, she wouldn't have slept in his arms until morning.

"Ah? I did? Oh god. Why would I do that? I'm such an idiot," Xiaofan said, feeling very guilty.

"What are you talking about? You were just drunk. No need to beat yourself up about it," Shen Zuimo looked at Xiaofan's pained expression, feeling a bit baffled.

"It's precisely because I was drunk that I feel guilty. The main issue is I have no memory of what I did last night. Darn it. If only I were sober when I did it, it would have been great."

"You..."

It turned out Xiaofan wasn't guilty for doing something inappropriate to Shen Zuimo, but lamented that he was drunk during the incident and couldn't remember, let alone enjoy it.

"Are you looking to get yourself killed? You didn't do a thing. If you really tried, I would've chopped your hand off," Shen Zuimo grumbled, feeling that this guy was becoming more and more unruly around her.

"Oh, so I just touched you a bit? Well, that's understandable. Men can't perform well when drunk. I thought I really did something to you," Xiaofan feigned a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean just touched a bit..."

Hearing this, Xiaofan immediately felt the air around him turn cold.

"Oops, I'm going to be late for class. I gotta go, bye..."

Xiaofan quickly gulped down the soybean milk in the bowl, grabbed his backpack, and rushed out the door. Ignoring the teasing yells from Shen Zuimo behind him, he dashed downstairs with a cheeky grin.

The offer from Ouyang Xiong was indeed tempting for Xiaofan, as working at Star Moon Bar was much more lucrative than hopping around several part-time jobs in a day. However, dealing with thugs might also pose a danger, right?

Once again arriving at school, Xiaofan was still contemplating whether or not to go work at the bar that night. He habitually glanced toward a seat not far ahead.

Every time he saw that back, it gave him some peace of mind, but today, the seat was empty. Liu Siyan hadn't come to class.

"Hey, Zhou Min, why isn't Liu Siyan here?" Xiaofan immediately asked the girl sitting in front.

"I don't know, maybe she took a leave," Zhou Min replied.

Leave? Why suddenly take a leave? Could she be sick?

With that thought, worrying about Liu Siyan took precedence over thoughts about Star Moon Bar. After class, Xiaofan immediately cycled toward Liu Siyan's home, concerns weighing on him.

On his way out of the school, he unexpectedly encountered Zhang Qiang, who seemed to be waiting for him at the gate.

Zhang Qiang deliberately passed by him with a sly smile.

Previously, Zhang Qiang would avoid him intentionally, but today he unexpectedly passed right in front of him with a smirk. Where did he get this confidence?

Pairing this with Liu Siyan's absence from school today, Xiaofan's heart immediately wavered with unease, and he unconsciously pedaled his bike faster.

However, upon arriving at Liu Siyan's door, Xiaofan found himself in a bit of a pickle, as her gate was equipped with an electronic lock. To visit, one just needed to press the front button and speak to gain entry.

But coming here so abruptly, what reason could he find to go in?

After wandering for half an hour without success, Xiaofan had no choice but to quietly leave.

Meanwhile, within the manor, someone noticed Xiaofan leaving and wanted to call out to him, but it was too late.

"Boss, that young man named Xiaofan came to the gate earlier, but he didn't come in,"

The person who saw Xiaofan was none other than Uncle Xu, who was driving that day.

"Siyan, did you invite him over?" Liu Zhenghua asked his daughter somewhat unexpectedly.

"No, why would he come?" Liu Siyan looked a bit downcast, lacking in energy. However, upon hearing Xiaofan had come to her door, her heart was somewhat comforted.

"Just one day not going to school and he's already worrying about you. This kid is kind-hearted," Liu Zhenghua said helplessly.

"Dad, what are you talking about, given the current situation," Liu Siyan said coquettishly.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens to the company, even if it goes bankrupt, I won't let you marry that Zhang Family boy. You can peacefully go to school," Liu Zhenghua said calmly.

"But dad, the company is your lifetime work. The new proposal is about to be delivered," Liu Siyan knew how much the company meant to her father.

"Don't worry about it. Worst-case, I'll start afresh, strive for another ten years. It's no big deal," Liu Zhenghua said as he prepared to get up and rest, then after thinking for a moment, added to his daughter: "If you really like that boy, I won't oppose it. He has a decent character, but I'm not sure what he'll be like in the future..."

"Dad, we're just purely classmates right now."

"Yes, purely classmates. Out of dozens of classmates, only he walked over to your door after one day of your absence from school," Liu Zhenghua, being someone with experience, could easily decipher the children's emotions.

"I... he..." Liu Siyan was at a loss for words. In truth, the seeds of emotion for Xiaofan had long been planted in her heart. As time went by, instead of fading, they only grew deeper.

In the afternoon, Liu Siyan did not go to school, having already taken a day's leave.

Xiaofan's heart grew even more uneasy, especially recalling Zhang Qiang's bizarre smirk. What was this guy up to?

"Yo, Ye Xiaofan, still not switching that broken bike of yours?" Indeed, after school, Zhang Qiang appeared before Xiaofan again, and this time he wasn't just sneering but was downright sarcastic.

"What, want another beating?" Xiaofan glared at him.

Hearing Xiaofan talk about beating him up, a faint look of fear flashed in Zhang Qiang's eyes. But he quickly returned to normal.

"Kid, don't think strong fists mean you're something special. Let me tell you, in this world, power and influence reign supreme. With your foolish self, dreaming of competing with me for Liu Siyan, you're deluded."

"What did you do to Siyan?" Of course, his arrogance wasn't unfounded; something must be hiding behind this.

"Hahaha, anyway, Siyan is definitely mine. Hahaha..." Accompanied by mocking laughter, Zhang Qiang boldly walked past Xiaofan, his face full of taunting expression.

That sense of unease once again struck Xiaofan's heart and grew stronger and stronger.
