Chapter 32: Territory
=====================
When the dean of students found out that Bei Queting had gotten into a fight in class 6, she almost fainted. Wasn’t the office enough for her to vent?!
But when she learned that the things on the forum were orchestrated by Li Ao: “…”
Are these children really salvageable?
Li Ao’s parents had originally not wanted to come. In their view, it was just a fight between children. Was there anything that couldn’t be settled? But when they learned that the other party was a child of the Jing family, they immediately appeared at the school at the fastest speed.
Jing Shiyue looked at the couple in front of her, a chilling smile on her face. “So it’s CEO Li.”
This sentence made Li Ao’s father’s heart instantly turn cold. Recently, there was an important project from the Jing Corporation that they had been trying to get. They had already made some progress, but now that this had happened, the project was probably off!
Li Ao’s father’s face instantly flushed red. If they got this project, their company’s development would be much smoother. But now…
“CEO Jing, calm down. You can deal with him however you want. The child is at fault, and he should be properly disciplined,” Li Ao’s father said, gritting his teeth, only hoping that they could vent their anger and not affect their business matters.
Jing Shiyue didn’t say anything. She looked at Bei Queting and the others. This matter involved them, and she wanted to see how they would handle it.
Li Ao’s father was also a shrewd person. Seeing this, he quickly pulled Li Ao over and made him apologize.
“Dad!” Li Ao shouted in disbelief. In the past, hadn’t his father always settled things for him?
“Shut up! Apologize!” Li Ao’s father’s face turned black. He pressed him down in front of Bei Queting and the others, forcing him to lower his head.
Li Ao was resentful and refused to apologize.
“You don’t have to force him,” Bei Queting spoke up. She looked up at Li Ao’s father, her attitude open and honest, without a hint of cowardice. She said with a cold smile, “Even if he apologizes now, it’s only because of the pressure of the situation, not because he really wants to apologize.”
“We don’t need that kind of apology.”
Looking at the girl’s calm attitude, Li Ao’s father looked at his own disappointing child and sighed inwardly. “Then you say, what do you want.”
“It’s simple. A public admission of his actions in front of the whole school, and at the same time, a transfer out of our sight,” Bei Queting said calmly. She didn’t want to see Li Ao’s face for even a second.
And to make such a proud and conceited teenager publicly admit his actions in front of so many eyes was enough to trample a person’s self-esteem underfoot.
“You! Bei Queting, don’t go too far!” Li Ao’s eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth.
Bei Queting smiled. “Am I going too far? You should also know that for everything you do, there is a price to pay.”
He Jingsu stood by Bei Queting’s side. Looking at Li Ao’s fiery eyes, she added, “And you have to let me beat him up first!”
She hadn’t even beaten him yet!
Hearing her words, Li Ao’s expression stiffened, as if he were extremely shocked that He Jingsu could make such a request.
Li Ao’s father’s face also darkened. “Junior He, some things can’t be taken too far.”
Although He Ying and the others were also surprised by their cub’s request, according to their cub’s personality, even if they didn’t agree to let her beat him up today, Li Ao would probably be beaten up one day while he was sleeping soundly at home. So this beating was unavoidable. It was better to let her do it openly.
“CEO Li, do you think this request is too much?” Jing Dan said calmly. “If you want to blame someone, blame him. He’s so young and doesn’t learn good things. Now someone is just coming to educate him for you. In the future, you should remember to teach him well before you let him out, so you don’t have to trouble others to educate him for you.”
Li Ao’s father’s face turned a mix of green and white, but seeing their attitude, he also understood that this beating was unavoidable. He also wanted to take his child and leave, but at the same time, he was very clear about the Jing family’s protectiveness. If he dared to leave today, his own company’s path would probably not be so smooth tomorrow!
“Fine!” he gritted his teeth and agreed. Just you wait. One day, I will make them pay for this!
“Dad!” Li Ao shouted shrilly.
Li Ao’s father ignored him and stood with the other boys’ parents. It could only be said that he had provoked the wrong person. He had provoked the Jing family. Now, it was just a lesson for him.
Seeing that his parents really weren’t going to help him, Li Ao was truly scared this time. He had already been beaten by Bei Queting before. Now, with He Jingsu, her reputation for being a fierce fighter was not for nothing!
This time, He Jingsu didn’t care if the parents were watching. She said to Li Ao very seriously, “You shouldn’t have slandered Beibei like that.”
Li Ao was stunned. Why did her words sound so similar to Bei Queting’s?
“Ow!” A cry of pain. His eye was directly bruised, and at the same time, one punch after another landed on him. He wanted to fight back, but before he could even move, he was already being beaten by He Jingsu. He couldn’t beat her at all!
Being beaten to the ground by two girls who were weaker than him in one day, Li Ao’s worldview seemed to have collapsed.
After He Jingsu had vented her anger, Li Ao was already in so much pain on the ground that he couldn’t make a sound. His mother, seeing that she had stopped, went up to help him up with concern. She wanted to say something, but her lips trembled, and she couldn’t say anything.
“Principal, have the students been notified of the assembly?” He Ying turned to the principal and said warmly.
Although it was a very gentle voice, the principal inexplicably felt a little chilly. He quickly nodded and said, “The notice has been sent out. The students are all gathered on the sports field now. We can go over now.”
“Very good,” He Ying nodded in agreement, then said to the boys, “Let’s go. In front of the whole school, admit what you’ve done.”
The boys’ faces were pale. They also couldn’t understand why things had escalated to this point when they had just wanted to teach them a lesson.
In the end, the boys were brought to the podium. The school, afraid that their voices wouldn’t be heard by the students, thoughtfully prepared several microphones, which made their faces even uglier.
He Ying and the others were on one side of the podium, their faces calm. The other students were still guessing what was happening. When they saw the boys’ faces on the stage, they winced, looking as if they were in pain. That looked very painful!
But after hearing what they had done, everyone was both shocked and hateful. This kind of thing was not a joke. This kind of thing could really ruin a person!
Originally, most people didn’t believe the things on the forum, but now, hearing that it was all their doing, they were even more disgusted with them.
“Scum!”
“Get out of Xingzhi! Xingzhi doesn’t have people like you!”
Some of the students below couldn’t hold back their temper and shouted angrily. The few boys on the stage immediately became the target of public criticism. After they finished speaking, they were immediately taken away by their parents to the hospital to check their injuries. No one dared to pursue the matter of He Jingsu and the others beating them up.
In the end, this incident ended with all the parents going through the transfer procedures. This incident also truly taught the students a lesson. Some things could be done, and some things couldn’t. This was enough for them to remember.
After the matter was over, He Ying and the others did not blame the children for fighting. Even Hai Yuesheng’s mothers, who had arrived later, held Hai Yuesheng and gave her a couple of kisses, praising her.
Not hearing her mothers scold her, Hai Yuesheng was instantly relieved. If she were the only one to be scolded, how embarrassing would that be!
In the end, everyone went out for a meal together. During the meal, they watched Hai Yuesheng’s attentive behavior toward Qiu Si, and their expressions all began to turn a little strange.
Jing Shiyue’s gaze fell on Hai Yuesheng, as if she were a little thief trying to steal her own little cabbage. Her gaze was so intense it could almost burn a hole through Hai Yuesheng!
However, Hai Yuesheng, perhaps because she was too smug today, didn’t notice at all and continued to diligently take care of Qiu Si’s food and drink.
Hai Yuesheng’s mothers’ faces were calm, but they were already fuming inwardly. In front of her parents! Can’t you be a little more restrained!
“You don’t have to worry about me!” Qiu Si said, a little embarrassed. She could feel the gazes of many eyes on them.
“Huh? Why?” Hai Yuesheng didn’t understand. Looking at her embarrassed expression, she seemed to have belatedly realized what the occasion was. When she saw Jing Shiyue’s serious eyes, her neck shrank, and she became as timid as a quail.
Qiu Shuhuai patted Jing Shiyue’s hand, signaling her not to scare the little one.
Jing Shiyue snorted coldly, but she did withdraw her gaze.
On the other side, He Jingsu didn’t care about their undercurrents. She was currently eating the shrimp that Bei Queting had peeled for her, her eyes half-closed in satisfaction.
He Ying chuckled softly from the side, thinking that these children were really fun.
“I want to eat that,” Jing Dan said, pointing to the hairy crab on the table.
“Okay,” He Ying smiled and took the hairy crab to peel for her. This one liked to eat these things, but she also found them troublesome.
At the dinner table, Hai Yuesheng’s mothers diligently tried to make conversation with Jing Shiyue and the others, as if they wanted to get closer to them and get some convenience for their child.
But in the end, the result was good. With Qiu Shuhuai, who was good at socializing, the atmosphere was not awkward. They chatted quite well, even exchanging contact information and agreeing to have afternoon tea together when they were free.
After the meal, those who were going back to school went back, and those who were going home went home. On the way home, He Ying nodded in satisfaction. “Now it seems we don’t have to worry about the children being bullied outside.”
Just from the way they handled things today, she felt it was quite good.
Hearing He Ying say this, Jing Dan blinked. She had never been worried. Her own cub was not so easy to bully. Hadn’t she been fighting since she was little? What made He Ying think she would be bullied?
On the other side, Jing Shiyue snorted coldly. “That little rascal, how dare she have ideas about our Si Si!” And she did it in front of them. Wasn’t that too arrogant!
Hearing her partner’s childish words, Qiu Shuhuai chuckled softly. “Si Si has a sense of propriety.”
And in her view, for the innocent love of adolescence, it was better to guide than to block.
Jing Shiyue was still a little indignant. In her view, her Si Si was still so young, and someone already dared to have ideas about her. It was like snatching a treasure from their hands!
“I’m worried that Si Si will be like us,” Qiu Shuhuai’s eyebrows drooped slightly. They had missed so much time back then.
Hearing her words, Jing Shiyue’s expression changed slightly. She reached out and held her hand, comforting her, “It’s okay. Even if she’s really like us, isn’t there still He Yuan?” Back then, it was He Yuan who had helped share her life with Qiu Shuhuai.
Qiu Shuhuai still sighed softly, her eyes full of worry.

Meanwhile, the little cubs who had returned to school were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. They were admired for their direct and decisive way of doing things. It was so satisfying!
Bei Queting didn’t feel anything about their praise. She looked at He Jingsu’s face, which still had a hint of baby fat, and smiled slowly. Now, it seemed that no one would be so blind as to provoke them again, right?
That way, her Daidai wouldn’t see those filthy things.
The teachers looked at them, wanting to say something but holding back. In the end, they sighed and didn’t say much more. Although it was not good to hit people, those male students did deserve to be beaten.
Classes went on as usual. The slanderous posts on the forum were also completely deleted. No one mentioned the matter again. In one night, it was as if the matter had been completely turned over.
What hadn’t been turned over was that everyone now knew they were not to be trifled with.
At night, when it was time to sleep, He Jingsu teleported to Bei Queting’s bed. As if inspecting her territory, she walked on her bed, her steps deep and shallow on the quilt, but she herself walked very leisurely.
When Bei Queting got into bed, this was the scene she saw. A series of question marks popped up in her head. She couldn’t understand what she was doing. After all, she had never done this before.
“Daidai, what’s wrong with you?” Bei Queting asked softly.
He Jingsu looked up, the tuft of fur on her head bouncing, as if she were very proud. “The book said that if you leave your scent on a place, it becomes your territory!”
Bei Queting was speechless. So she was marking her territory now?
On her bed?
She looked at the cub, who was still diligently leaving her “scent.” She suddenly wanted to laugh. This was so arrogant, so arrogant as to go to someone else’s bed.
She scooped the cub into her arms. “Then do you want to leave your scent on me?”
The tuft of fur on He Jingsu’s head instantly stood on end, and even her eyes sparkled. “Yes!”
Since she wanted to leave her scent on Beibei’s bed, of course, she also wanted to leave her scent on Beibei. That way, when others smelled her scent on Beibei, they wouldn’t dare to get close!
Bei Queting let out a low laugh. She really couldn’t understand this little cub’s mind. They had been eating and sleeping together for so long; their scents should have already been on each other. Why did she suddenly have this idea?
After she lay down, He Jingsu struggled out of Bei Queting’s embrace and began to walk on her, as if only by walking could she leave her scent on her.
Bei Queting, being walked on, was stunned.
Although she wasn’t heavy, being walked on like this, she would always step on some sensitive places. This…
“Daidai, that’s enough,” Bei Queting quickly held her and controlled her. Did this one not know how to be discreet at all?
“Huh?” He Jingsu lifted her head, bewildered. Was that enough? But didn’t she see that they all needed to walk around?
“Mhm, you smell carefully. Do I have your scent on me now?” Bei Queting bit her lip. Saying this, it was as if she had become her private property.
He Jingsu sniffed carefully. It seemed there was a little bit of a scent. She smiled in satisfaction and buried herself in Bei Queting’s arms, saying happily, “Then others won’t dare to get close to you!”
Bei Queting lowered her gaze and poked her nose. She clearly didn’t understand anything, but the things she did always made people think more.
She sighed inwardly and resignedly held her to sleep.
And at this moment, in the other dorm, Qiu Si looked at Hai Yuesheng, who had suddenly appeared, and frowned her little eyebrows. “Why are you here?”
Soft, with no intimidating power.
“I wanted to chat with you,” Hai Yuesheng said, picking at her hands, not very confident. After all, coming over so late at night, it did seem a bit like a scoundrel.
Qiu Si was full of question marks. Hadn’t they talked enough during the day?
“W-well, can you not accept anyone else,” Hai Yuesheng said nervously, getting to the point of her visit.
Qiu Si was confused. “???”
“When did I accept anyone else?” Daidai would beat that person to death, right?
“I-I saw someone write you a love letter,” Hai Yuesheng muttered in a low voice.
Qiu Si felt she was being silly. Just because someone wrote her a love letter, did it mean she would definitely accept it?

Author’s Note:
Daidai: Leave my scent, Beibei is mine!
Daidai, even if you don’t leave it, she’s still yours!
Hahaha, Si Si became famous after one battle.
