Chapter 33: Threat
=====================
“What are you talking about?” Qiu Si was very puzzled. Wasn’t everything fine at noon? Why was she suddenly like this?
Hai Yuesheng pouted. “I-I just came to test the waters.”
The fight they had had made them famous at school. Some people, on the contrary, became even more interested. Many people started to write love letters. Hai Yuesheng had even seen a few in her own class that were for Qiu Si.
Qiu Si was speechless. Was that how you tested the waters?
“Daidai will beat people up,” Qiu Si said very seriously. Daidai would not let her date and neglect her studies.
Hai Yuesheng was stunned, as if she had just realized He Jingsu’s existence. With her around, who could snatch Qiu Si away from under her nose!
She deflated. She was also a target of He Jingsu’s vigilance.
But she quickly comforted herself. Although she couldn’t pursue Qiu Si yet, at least Qiu Si wouldn’t be pursued by anyone else!
Thinking of this, her mood instantly improved.
“Then if there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you. Good night, Si Si~” Hai Yuesheng said cheerfully.
“Oh, good night,” Qiu Si pressed her lips together, wanting to laugh at her arrival.
After Hai Yuesheng left, the smile on Qiu Si’s face finally appeared. She felt that she was so silly.
The next day, the wake-up bell rang, the most hated sound for students.
“Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm!” He Jingsu buried her face in the crook of Bei Queting’s neck and whimpered unhappily. She had been woken up in the middle of a dream!
Bei Queting ruffled her head, held her, and sat up to help her stretch as usual. She looked at her with her eyes closed. If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t pout, her lips would probably be able to hang an oil bottle right now.
Bei Queting was both heartbroken and amused. After helping her stretch, she held her up to eye level. “There are still a few years left. How are you going to get through them?”
Especially when it came to the third year of high school, it would be even worse. Waking up early and sleeping late, wouldn’t this cub cry?
He Jingsu’s face instantly fell, as if the road ahead were dark.
“Alright, wake up. I’ll go make you some milk,” Bei Queting said, ruffling her bear face.
Hearing the word “milk,” He Jingsu’s spirits lifted a little. She nodded and teleported back to her own dorm.
When she returned to her dorm, Qiu Si had just climbed out of bed, yawning. “Morning, Daidai.”
“Mhm, mhm, morning, Si Si.” He Jingsu also yawned. The two of them went to the balcony to wash up. After a long time of dawdling, there was a knock at the door, and then they saw Hai Yuesheng poke her head in.
“Si Si, I’m here to get breakfast with you!” Early in the morning, Hai Yuesheng’s voice was full of energy.
Qiu Si was still brushing her teeth. She glanced at her and then looked away, ignoring her.
He Jingsu thought about Si Si’s academic performance. Not only had it not dropped, but it had also improved. She no longer looked at Hai Yuesheng with such a wary gaze, just treated her as if she didn’t exist.
In the end, Qiu Si finished washing up first. Bei Queting hadn’t come down yet, so Qiu Si and Hai Yuesheng went to the cafeteria first.
When Bei Queting arrived, she saw that only He Jingsu was left in the dorm. She handed her the milk and asked curiously, “Si Si left so early?”
“Mmm, Senior Hai took her away,” He Jingsu nodded, her voice muffled.
Drinking the milk that Bei Queting had made for her, He Jingsu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked a little happy.
Bei Queting looked at her, her gaze softening. But she was also very curious. Why wasn’t she staring at Hai Yuesheng anymore? How could she let her take Qiu Si away?
“You’re not worried about Si Si having puppy love?” she asked tentatively.
He Jingsu looked up at her and said, as if it were a matter of course, “Si Si won’t! And although the senior is always around her, Si Si’s studies haven’t fallen behind!”
Bei Queting’s lips moved. She really wanted to ask: As long as your studies don’t fall behind, is it okay to have puppy love?
But seeing her lower her head and focus on drinking her milk, she sighed inwardly and didn’t ask.
After He Jingsu finished her milk, the two of them went to the cafeteria for breakfast. After breakfast, He Jingsu began to sigh.
“Hm?” Bei Queting looked at her.
“I can’t go to class with Beibei,” she sighed.
Bei Queting was speechless. It had been so long. Why was she still hung up on this?
She had also discovered that Daidai was very vengeful about certain things.
“Go to class. I’ll make you milk tonight.”
He Jingsu’s mood immediately improved a little.
But they soon met again before the morning was over.
The reason was that during the long break, they were called to the dean of students’ office, along with Qiu Si and Hai Yuesheng.
The four of them stood in a row, all looking at the dean of students with a very confused expression, not understanding why she had suddenly called them over.
The dean of students, faced with these four pairs of clear eyes that seemed to have not been polluted by the world: “…”
Did they know they were cute, so they were acting cute for her?
The dean of students’ face was tense, trying to look serious. “Yesterday’s matter, have you all reflected on it?”
Reflected? Reflected on what?
The four of them continued to look at her with a confused expression, as if they didn’t understand what she was saying.
The dean of students: “…The fight!” She rapped her knuckles on the desk.
The four of them looked as if they had a sudden realization. He Jingsu raised her hand and asked, “Teacher, we didn’t do anything wrong. Why should we reflect?”
She asked very sincerely, as if she were seeking knowledge.
The dean of students was stunned by her question, then looked at her in disbelief. She still thought she was not wrong?!
“No matter what! Fighting in public is not good! What if other students see you and follow your example!” The dean of students’ tone became a little stern.
“Oh!” He Jingsu’s eyes widened slightly, as if she understood. She nodded and said, “Then we’ll fight secretly in the future, so the students won’t see!”
Bei Queting and the others lowered their heads to hold back their laughter, finding it a little difficult.
The dean of students was choked by her words. Was that what she meant? But seeing He Jingsu’s sincere eyes, she was speechless. She felt that she probably couldn’t get through to her.
“You, you’re not allowed to speak later!” The dean of students’ warning gaze fell on He Jingsu.
Not allowed to speak?
He Jingsu’s eyes widened in confusion, and also a little wronged. Did she talk a lot? Why was she not allowed to speak!
The dean of students’ gaze turned to Bei Queting. “You speak.”
Bei Queting looked at the dean of students, then at He Jingsu. Seeing her aggrieved and stifled expression, she wanted to laugh but also felt a pang of heartache. But under the dean of students’ sharp gaze, she had to force herself not to laugh.
“Mhm, we know we were wrong. We will definitely not be so impulsive again in the future,” Bei Queting said in a calm voice, her head lowered.
The dean of students was speechless. She didn’t hear any apology in her voice at all.
She looked at the four girls in front of her, so angry that she was speechless. If you said they were easy to handle, they were. But if you said they weren’t, they really weren’t!
“He Jingsu, I’m telling you, if you’re like yesterday again, I won’t let Bei Queting go to your class for evening self-study!” The dean of students directly hit He Jingsu’s weak spot.
“!”
She was threatening her!
He Jingsu’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could she use such a method to threaten her!
Seeing He Jingsu’s expression, the dean of students finally nodded in satisfaction. She was a dean of students, after all. She could still handle a little cub like her.
As long as He Jingsu was suppressed, the others basically wouldn’t cause any trouble.
He Jingsu was speechless. She turned to look at Bei Queting with a mournful face.
Bei Queting was also a little surprised to hear the dean of students’ words, but seeing her gaze, it all turned into a smile.
Pitiful, like a drowned panda.
“Alright, you can all go back. He Jingsu, you remember my words!” After the warning, the dean of students felt she could let them go.
After they left, she picked up the teacup on her desk and took a sip, then couldn’t help but laugh out loud, shaking her head helplessly.
“These little rascals.”
After leaving the dean of students’ office, Hai Yuesheng rubbed her nose. “Were Si Si and I just here as props?”
They were called over just to watch the show. Was it a special VIP seat for them?
Qiu Si turned to look at her. “Do you want the teacher to talk to you?”
Didn’t you see what Daidai had become?
Hai Yuesheng immediately shook her head, then moved closer to Qiu Si and said with a fawning smile, “Si Si, do you have any plans for the winter break? I’ll come and see you~”
Qiu Si huffed softly. “Aren’t you going to have remedial classes? You should focus on your classes.”
Hai Yuesheng was speechless. The evil third year of high school!
On the other side, He Jingsu was worried. She looked at Bei Queting beside her and sighed mournfully.
How could the dean of students do this? How could she use Beibei to threaten her!
Bei Queting saw her like this, reached out, and smoothed her furrowed brow. She felt that her mature look didn’t quite match her, like a child wearing adult clothes. The more she looked, the funnier it was.
“Alright, as long as we don’t fight casually anymore, it’s fine,” Bei Queting comforted her. And it was just as well. She didn’t want her to always be fighting anyway. Now, she could be a little more well-behaved.
He Jingsu was speechless. She had never fought casually, okay!
She huffed softly. “I want two bottles of milk tonight!”
This opportunistic bargaining was a little amusing, but it also made one want to indulge her.
“Okay~”
Fortunately, this cub was easy to please, just a matter of a bottle of milk.
Listening to Hai Yuesheng’s various antics and Qiu Si’s soft voice, Bei Queting smiled faintly. This kind of life, if it could continue, would not be bad.
At night, He Jingsu was already lying on Bei Queting’s bed, holding a baby bottle in her arms, her two paws holding it like a treasure. When she drank her milk, her eyes were half-closed, looking indescribably content.
Bei Queting just sat to the side, her gaze lowered to the panda cub, unable to resist reaching out to stroke her head, her lips curving into a smile. This panda cub looked so chubby, it reminded her of what Aunt He had once told her. When Daidai was little and learning to fly, she couldn’t fly because she was too fat.
He Jingsu was drinking her milk and felt the mischievous hand on her head. She glanced at Bei Queting, a little puzzled by her strange smile.
It felt like she was secretly laughing.
