Who Made Him an Antagonist

278: Chapter 278 Xu Shiyin Reaps What She SowsHuuu—

Xu Shiyin slowly exhaled a breath of Qi, tiptoeing toward the side of Qin Ge’s bed.

Looking at Qin Ge’s sleeping face, her slender waist couldn’t help but straighten, and she muttered to herself, ”Qin Ge is already dead drunk, why am I still tiptoeing around?”

Sitting beside Qin Ge, Xu Shiyin reached out with her fair, jade-like hand and gently caressed Qin Ge’s chiseled, resolute face. She said with a bitter, helpless sigh, ”To think that I, Xu Shiyin, a dignified national goddess of the Dragon Country, have people wanting to pursue me lining up all the way from Qingyuan City to Paris, France.”

”I never imagined that I would lose my innocence in this life in such a way!”

”How embarrassing! It’s just too embarrassing!”

However, having said that, it’s not like it’s the first or second time she, Xu Shiyin, has embarrassed herself. She was already accustomed to it.

In other families, parents and elders always like to compare their own children with the children of others. They often say things like, ”Look at so-and-so from that Family; they do their homework until midnight, why are you going to bed at 9:30? Do you get higher test scores than them, or are you smarter than them?” Words like these were endless.

In the Xu Family, it was completely different. Xu Shiyin was their own child!

Her cousin won a gold medal in the Math Olympiad, tying for first place with several other Geniuses. When he returned home, he was very depressed and sad, feeling that he hadn’t distanced himself from the others and had brought shame to the Xu Family. He locked himself in his room for several days, unable to eat or drink.

Her parents and grandfather would always comfort her cousin, saying, ”You have already worked hard. Don’t always think about leaving everyone far behind. Geniuses are everywhere, and everyone has their own strengths. There is no need to compete for first place in every single field. Look at your sister Shiyin, let alone winning a Math Olympiad gold medal, she can’t even get into the Math Olympiad team!”

Anyway, in the Xu Family, whenever someone felt down, her, Xu Shiyin’s, name would always be mentioned by the elders in the Family to comfort them. And it would always work like a charm.

Even now, though she, Xu Shiyin, had declared that she had left the Xu Family, this old tradition had still not been abolished.

As for how she knew about it even though she wasn’t in the Xu Family? It was because her cousins and younger female cousin would often call her whenever they encountered trouble or worries. Just to hear her voice. They said that as long as they heard her voice, the frustration in their hearts would fade away significantly. It had already become a conditioned response.

It was as if, as soon as they heard Xu Shiyin’s voice, the Genius brains in the Family would automatically release soothing hormonal factors.

”Knowing shame is the precursor to courage! Aunt and Yunxuan both think I’m just a gluttonous rice bucket, but in reality, that’s not the case at all. I, Xu Shiyin, am incredibly witty!”

”The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. I, Xu Shiyin, will be that oriole catching the mantis!”

Xu Shiyin gently caressed Qin Ge’s resolute face and muttered to herself with a guilty conscience, ”Qin Ge, don’t blame me for being shameless; I have no other choice.”

”Although the Xu Family has no intention of using anyone in the Family for political marriage, I, Xu Shiyin, am a national goddess. I am constantly in the public eye, and everyone knows me. There are more than just ordinary people coveting my body; even the Young Masters of those aristocratic families all want to possess me for themselves!”

”The Xu Family is indeed rejecting those suitors one by one right now, but there is no guarantee that the elders in the Family won’t get annoyed in the future, or feel that I am getting old, and really approve of some marriage proposal. Then I would truly become a sacrifice.”

There was no other way; Xu Shiyin didn’t dare to gamble. In the Xu Family, she was like a burden, completely out of place. If the elders in the Family also grew to dislike her and thought about marrying her off to seek peace and quiet, where would she go to complain?

If she had a relationship with Qin Ge, it would be a completely different story. Let alone those Young Masters of aristocratic families, they wouldn’t dare to have designs on her again. Even if she returned to the Xu Family, she would be able to hold her head high. Why? Because Elder Li is her grandfather’s idol! If she could get Qin Ge to obtain a piece of calligraphy from Elder Li for her, hehe, even her grandfather would have to praise her, Xu Shiyin, as a Genius!

Of course, most importantly, Qin Ge was exactly her type, perfectly fitting her standards for a dream husband. To put it more bluntly, it was just like the script written by An Hao: one look at Qin Ge and one is ruined for life! She was no Guo Xiang! She, Xu Shiyin, dared to think and dared to act; she would never leave herself with any regrets.

As for her good friend? If there was an opportunity in the future, she would facilitate the relationship between Qin Ge and Cui Yunxuan. There was no help for it; there were too many confidantes around Qin Ge, so many that even she felt insecure. Charity begins at home; rather than letting an outsider benefit, it was better to let her good friend benefit!

”Qin Ge... I, Xu Shiyin, am coming!”

Xu Shiyin looked at the sleeping Qin Ge, couldn’t help but pounce on him, and started fumbling around. Kissing here, kissing there.

About fifteen minutes later, Xu Shiyin’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her clear, large eyes were filled with horror and astonishment.

Gulp—

She struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, only to feel a chill pass across her back. Just one look made her heart tremble, and her calves couldn’t help but shake.

”Run, run, I’m going to die!”

Xu Shiyin shook her head vigorously, swallowing saliva repeatedly. Actually, she felt that her grandfather and parents still loved her quite a bit. Even without Qin Ge as a shield, they wouldn’t necessarily ignore her wishes and marry her off randomly. Besides, her Xu Family had many national scholars. No matter how powerful those aristocratic families were, they wouldn’t necessarily dare to bully the Xu Family. No matter how undeserving of her reputation she was, the blood flowing in her body was, after all, that of the Xu Family!

”Qin Ge, we have the fate but not the luck in this life; in the end, we have missed each other.”

Xu Shiyin withdrew her gaze with lingering fear, wiped away the tears that had been scared out of her eyes, and lowered her head to peck Qin Ge on the corner of his lips like a dragonfly skimming the water. She immediately stood up, turned her head, and was about to leave. Compared to trouble, her life was obviously more precious.

However, as Xu Shiyin, who was preparing to leave in her high heels, felt her wrist firmly gripped by an iron pincer.

She looked back and saw Qin Ge lying on the bed with his eyes open and a playful, wicked smile on his lips. Her voice changed tone in terror, ”You... you’re awake?”

Qin Ge smiled and shook his head, ”To be more accurate, I never got drunk at all.”

”I was just pretending to be drunk on purpose to give Cui Yunxuan a chance to make a move.”

”After all, you know that Cui Yunxuan looks cold and glamorous, but she is actually very thin-skinned. I have to consider her psychological feelings.”

”Cui Yunxuan had finally made up her mind to come to the room, but you locked the door and wouldn’t let her in.”

”You interfered, and I can let that slide, but you spent all that time fiddling around, only to run away at the last minute—what is the meaning of that?”

Xu Shiyin couldn’t help but let her beautiful eyes dart around, her heart pounding like a deer in her chest, and she stammered, ”Qin Ge, don’t be like this, I... I’m scared!”

Qin Ge smiled and asked in return, ”What were you doing earlier?”

Xu Shiyin struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, struggling hard to pull her arm free from Qin Ge’s palm, ”Qin Ge, you know, a twisted melon isn’t sweet!”

The smile on Qin Ge’s lips became even more wicked, ”But it quenches thirst!”
