Chapter 20: The Bewitching Queen
=========================
“W-what child bride?” He Jingsu’s face was full of confusion. What was Si Si talking about?
Bei Queting silently glanced at Qiu Si from the side, then lowered her gaze without saying anything.
“Nothing,” Qiu Si said, her eyebrows curving into a smile. Her voice was soft, but it had a hint of mischief.
He Jingsu blinked, said, “Oh,” and didn’t ask any more questions. However, Zhou Li, who was sitting in front of them and had overheard their conversation, was so shocked her eyes widened.
Child bride?!!!
Is this something I’m allowed to hear! She silently looked back at He Jingsu, then at Bei Queting’s expression, rubbed her chin thoughtfully. Bei Queting’s expression, it’s not right!
She turned back around. If it’s not right…
A somewhat creepy smile appeared on her face. She took out her phone and logged into the school forum.
At this moment, no one knew that a ship that was about to become wildly popular at Xingzhi High was born that night at Zhou Li’s fingertips.
During the second period of self-study, Bei Queting was busy answering the students’ questions. Down below, He Jingsu’s eyes had practically turned into stars. She didn’t know what Bei Queting was talking about; her gaze was fixed only on her, and her voice, which was like a clear mountain spring.
Qiu Si watched her, the strange feeling in her heart growing stronger!
Meanwhile, in class 6, they looked at Bei Queting’s empty seat and were speechless.
Through the forum, they had already learned that Bei Queting had been snatched away by the people from class 16…
Does that He Jingsu have that much power! To be able to snatch someone away! She’s practically a bewitching queen who brings ruin to the nation!
Damn it! They rolled up their sleeves and were about to go on the forum to condemn He Jingsu’s shameless behavior when they saw a post by a user named ‘I’m a Professional Shipper’ trending on the front page.
Curiosity got the better of them, and they clicked on it. Then they saw a picture of their academic goddess, but next to her was a soft, dazed-looking girl.
“…” Isn’t that the bewitching queen!
But, this bewitching queen was actually quite cute…
They continued to scroll down, and the feeling was off. The more they looked, the more it felt like pink bubbles were about to overflow!
Looking at He Jingsu like this, at this atmospheric picture, how could they bring themselves to condemn her!
The post was seen by more and more people, and eventually, even Bei Queting saw it. She clicked on it and saw the post. From the angle of the photo, she looked at Zhou Li, who was leaning over with her head on her desk. Her two thumbs were tapping furiously on her phone screen, and she would occasionally let out a few creepy laughs.
Bei Queting was speechless.
Looking at the pictures in the post, Bei Queting silently saved them all and also added the post to her favorites.
After evening self-study, Bei Queting was still feeling embarrassed about her earlier actions. At the same time, she felt an indescribable sense of panic. What am I doing…
Back in the dorm, while showering, Bei Queting let the slightly too-hot water run over her body. It was a little scalding and reminded her of the past.
She had once been confused for a long time, not understanding what she had done wrong to deserve that kind of treatment. But now she was wondering, Will I really become that kind of person?
Meanwhile, He Jingsu went to shower as soon as she returned to the dorm. After she came out, she immediately teleported onto Bei Queting’s bed. Bei Queting had also just finished showering and was lying in bed. The moment she snuggled into Bei Queting’s arms, she noticed that her body temperature was a little high today. “Beibei, why is your body so hot?” she asked, puzzled.
She looked at her and saw that her face was also quite red. The tuft of fur on her head immediately stood on end. “Do you have a fever?!” she asked anxiously.
She was about to get up to check when Bei Queting pulled her back into her arms. She heard her murmur softly, “No, the hot water was just a little scalding today.”
Holding the soft panda cub in her arms, Bei Queting felt an unprecedented sense of security. The panda cub in her arms could instantly soothe all her anxieties.
“Oh.” He Jingsu hooked her two paws around her neck and nuzzled her comfortingly. She felt that her mood was a little off and wanted to cheer her up.
Bei Queting’s lips curved into a smile. She was well and truly soothed by her. The panda cub in her arms could always give her the greatest encouragement.
“Let’s sleep,” Bei Queting said softly.
“Mhm, mhm! We can go home tomorrow!” Tomorrow was Friday, and they could go home after school.
“Mhm, we’ll go home and eat good food,” Bei Queting said with a light laugh, rubbing her face against the cub’s fluffy fur.
He Jingsu laughed happily.
Holding the panda cub in her arms, all the chaotic thoughts were thrown to the back of her mind. Bei Queting gradually grew sleepy. Listening to He Jingsu’s light, shallow breaths, she slowly fell asleep.
In her sleep, she held the panda cub tightly, as if afraid she would run away, worried even in her dreams.
The panda cub slept very well, resting her head in the crook of her neck, trying to be as close to her as possible.

The next day, when Bei Queting entered the classroom, she felt that the atmosphere was even stranger. The way they looked at her was indescribably complex, with a hint of excitement and disappointment?
Disappointment?
Why would they feel that?
However, she didn’t know yet that on the forum, the debate had already escalated to who was the top and who was the bottom in her relationship with He Jingsu. Both sides had many supporters, and the battle for top/bottom had officially begun. In the end, Bei Queting’s side was slightly weaker.
Because of Bei Queting’s act of being snatched away to class 16 by He Jingsu…
Li Ao looked at Bei Queting, wishing he could eat her alive!
Bei Queting couldn’t understand them. She walked straight to her seat and sat down. Then she heard Xia Mu lean over and whisper, “Do you like Liu Yifei?”
Bei Queting was confused. “???”
When had her shy deskmate become so bold as to talk to her? And even ask about her preferences?
Seeing Bei Queting’s confused expression, she thought for a moment and then said another name, “What about Hebe Tien?”
Bei Queting was speechless. What was she trying to say?
Seeing that Bei Queting was still unmoved, Xia Mu’s expression turned a little disappointed. “You don’t like either of them?”
“…Liu Yifei is pretty,” Bei Queting finally said.
Xia Mu’s eyes instantly lit up. She looked at Bei Queting with a hint of excitement. Perhaps realizing she was too excited, her face turned slightly red, and she said in a low voice, “I think she’s very pretty too!”
Bei Queting was speechless. So?
She was genuinely confused. What had happened? Why were they all acting so strange?
However, she didn’t know that Xia Mu had turned around and logged into the forum, posting a new thread.
【BQT said she likes Liu Yifei!】
