Chapter 150: The Overlord Flower Forces the Bow

Xu Yunzhou was still a cute freshman at the time. Besides being secretly kissed by Xu Nuo in the dark, when had he ever experienced this kind of stimulating battle formation of "head-clamping kill" plus "chest pillow"?

His face turned red instantly, and he retreated three consecutive steps:

"Sister... Sister Xi! Don't, don't make this kind of joke!"

Even his voice changed pitch. Flustered, he tidied his messed-up hair and collar, his eyes dodging, not daring to look at her.

"Hahaha! Look at your cowardly look! Still unable to take a joke!"

Wen Xi laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back, pointing at him,

"Alright, not teasing you anymore. Let's go, cowardly little junior. Sister will show some kindness and take you to your dorm. Which building?"

"N-no need Sister Xi, I can do it myself..."

Xu Yunzhou tried to snatch back his suitcase, even his fingers trembling.

"Cut the crap, what are you being polite with Sister for?"

Wen Xi raised her chin, that dashing and domineering energy rushing at his face. She easily lifted his heavy suitcase,

"Show the way! Otherwise Sister will carry you over on her shoulder! Believe it or not?"

Believe it! He believed it too much! When he was little, he had been carried like a sack by this older sister quite a few times.

Xu Yunzhou instantly chickened out, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and obediently pointed the direction.

...

Wen Xi was a senior after all, facing the mountains pressing on the head of every graduating student: internships, graduation thesis and job hunting; her free time was limited.

Although the two were in the same school, one was at one end of the campus, the other at the opposite one.

One was so busy her feet didn't touch the ground, the other had just entered school, full of novelty and club activities, so the number of times they met could be counted on one hand.

Occasionally when they could arrange to eat a meal together, it was mostly in the school cafeteria or cheap small restaurants nearby.

Chatting, asking about recent situations, reminiscing about the chaotic commotions of their childhood.

But ultimately, no "sparks" flew between the two—at least not on Xu Yunzhou's side.

During his ignorant teenage period, that Song Jiaru who squatted down in the setting sun and gently brushed away the gravel and blood stains on his knee had long cast the initial and deepest hazy longing and attachment for an "ideal woman" into the lake of his heart where love was just awakening.

That was a white moonlight, an unreachable dream.

An overlord flower like Wen Xi—passionate, flamboyant, full of aggressiveness—was more like the sun at summer noon, radiating brilliant light, so dazzling that it instinctively made him want to hide in the shade of a tree.

He was somewhat afraid of her.

Later, he heard that Wen Xi, with excellent grades and a reportedly very strong physical test score, successfully passed the civil service exam, landed ashore, and entered the "Great Xia Citizen Security Agency," becoming an honorable security officer.

(TL: "Landed ashore" is slang for successfully passing the highly competitive civil service exam.)

However, her initial work position was assigned to a remote grassroots town over a hundred kilometers away, considered a necessary tempering and settling period.

The night before she left school, Xu Yunzhou specially treated her to a farewell dinner.

At the dining table, she still smiled heartily, drank in large gulps, patted his shoulder, and said,

"In the future, if you run into any trouble at school, just drop Sister's name. Even if Sister isn't around in person, my connections are still solid, and I'll definitely help you sort it all out!"

Xu Yunzhou nodded smilingly, but knew clearly in his heart that the life trajectories of the two would probably part ways from then on.

But he absolutely never expected that the next time they met would be in a scene that made him wish he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl in on the spot, an ultimate social death.

That was his sophomore year, not long after he and Su Qianran officially established a romantic relationship.

On a certain weekend when their heads were dizzy from youth hormones and romantic impulses, the two mustered up courage and secretly booked an hourly room in a seemingly clean small hotel near the school.

Harboring nervousness, excitement, shyness, and a desire to explore the unknown, they prepared to try breaking through that final step, completing some kind of ritual from teenager to adult.

Half the clothes were just taken off, the atmosphere was ambiguously heating up to its peak, and when their breaths intertwined...

"Thump thump thump!"

A rough, impatient knocking rattled the door, followed by a stern female voice from outside:

"Security Agency spot check! Open the door!"

In that instant, Xu Yunzhou's brain went entirely blank, with thoughts like "it's over," "busted," and "we're going to get disciplined" frantically spamming his mind like a barrage of screen comments.

Panicked and trembling, he scrambled to pull on his pants and fumble for his shirt, even buttoning the buttons into the wrong holes.

The door opened.

Standing outside was a single security officer in a sharp uniform, the brim of her hat pulled low.

Under the dim light of the corridor, as she raised her cold, beautiful face, Xu Yunzhou felt his blood instantly run cold!

Because the person standing at the door was none other than Wen Xi.

She first swept a glance at the messy room and the two people with disheveled clothes, then spoke in a business-like manner, her voice carrying no emotion:

"College students? ID."

Xu Yunzhou hurriedly handed over his student ID.

Wen Xi took it, looked at it carefully, and then began to educate them expressionlessly.

The content was nothing more than clichés like "college students should keep themselves clean, pay attention to safety, obey laws and regulations, cherish study time." Her tone was flat, unable to hear any anomaly.

Throughout the entire process, Xu Yunzhou was so embarrassed he could use his toes to dig out a three-bedroom-one-living-room apartment on the hotel's inferior carpet.

Finally, Wen Xi raised her chin, her gaze landing on Su Qianran, her tone even colder:

"Where's your student ID? Haven't found it yet?"

"D-didn't bring it... left it in the dorm..."

Su Qianran's voice was as thin as a mosquito, carrying a crying tone, her head buried even lower.

"Didn't bring it?"

Wen Xi frowned, her tone leaving no room for negotiation,

"According to regulations, identity needs to be verified. Go back and get it. Now, immediately."

At the time, Xu Yunzhou and Su Qianran were both too young, their social experience almost zero, scared dumb by this sudden "official spot check." Plus having a guilty conscience like thieves, in their panic, they completely didn't realize what was wrong!

What security officer would come to check rooms alone? And only check their room?

Su Qianran felt as if granted a great amnesty.

Caring for nothing else, she lowered her head and hurriedly squeezed past Wen Xi, running away as if fleeing, not even daring to turn back to take a look at Xu Yunzhou.

The room door closed.

Xu Yunzhou scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Sister Xi, this is too coincidental, look at this matter..."

Then he heard the slight "click" of the lock latch engaging.

Xu Yunzhou froze. He saw that after Wen Xi backhandedly locked the door, she turned around and, step by step, walked toward him.

The uniform outlined her tall and vigorous figure, every step carrying some predator-like oppressiveness.

Then, before Xu Yunzhou could react, Wen Xi had already pushed him down onto the messy bed that hadn't been tidied yet.

She leaned over looking at him, a smile yet not a smile in her eyes:

"Xu Yunzhou, is this really all the spine you have?"

"I..."

Xu Yunzhou's brain went completely blank.

In the next moment, Wen Xi leaned over and pinched Xu Yunzhou's chin.

Xu Yunzhou was dazed, stupefied:

"Sister Xi, y-don't do this... you're knowingly breaking the law!"

Wen Xi smiled wickedly:

"Heh, sorry, Great Xia does not have laws regarding women sexually assaulting men(lie). Besides, do you have the guts to go report the case?"

Therefore, although Xu Yunzhou protested and struggled, under Wen Xi's absolute suppression of power, skill, and momentum, it was of no fucking use.

Just as he was about to accept his fate, he suddenly felt Wen Xi shudder violently on top of him.

As if all her strength had been instantly drained, she let out a muffled groan. The arms pinning him down abruptly lost their grip, and her entire body rolled helplessly to the side, collapsing limply onto the bed.
