Chapter 11: What’s with the Arrogant Stinky Man?

Shu Qian looked up at the hidden sneers in others’ eyes and gently pushed his hand away.

“No need. I’m just showing them what I’ve got.”

She wasn’t ashamed of it.

Lin Yiyang and An Jing exchanged glances, unable to guess what Shu Qian was about to do.

“Shu Qian, are you really going to call your college counselor to ask if you dated anyone back then?” Lin Yiyang couldn’t help but mock.

An Jing covered her mouth, laughing softly, seemingly agreeing with Lin Yiyang.

“I’m not like some people who just clarify rumors with words. Ever heard that actions speak louder than words?”

Shu Qian smiled faintly and handed her phone to An Jing.

“This is my transcript from all four years in college. The grades are just okay—ordinary, but top of the class every year.”

The cameraman caught the hint and focused the camera on the phone screen, revealing a perfect and beautiful transcript.

[Whoa, top of the class every year? That’s incredible.]

[I always thought ‘hardworking and ambitious’ was just her persona, didn’t expect this sister is really that impressive.]

[Why haven’t I heard about her studying so well before? Could these be someone else’s pictures?]

[Jealous, may the gods of exams bless me to pass!]

Lin Yiyang and An Jing’s expressions suddenly changed sharply as they exchanged a quick glance.

They hated Shu Qian!

If she had such grades, why didn’t she brag earlier? She was obviously waiting to prove others wrong with a big slap in the face.

Lin Yiyang gritted his teeth stubbornly, “Good grades only prove you studied well. We’re asking about love relationships. Shu Qian, you’re not avoiding the question by changing the topic, are you?”

Shu Qian sneered. Some people just wouldn’t give up until they hit rock bottom.

“Who do I need to prove anything to?”

“The line to chase me starts all the way in France, but I’m not ordinary, I’m picky.”

“Unlike some people—like turtles eyeing mung beans, dung beetles pushing their balls of dung—some things just fit together ridiculously.”

Lin Yiyang and An Jing glared angrily at the insult.

[She really is well-educated; her words come in sets and sharp.]

[Lin Yiyang and that one’s attitude toward Shu Qian is a bit too harsh.]

[Yeah, Shu Qian didn’t do anything wrong; why are they so obsessed?]

…

“Enough, enough. Good grades definitely prove that Teacher Shu was busy studying hard all those years.”

“It’s just a variety show, no need to take it seriously.”

The other guests noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly stepped in to mediate.

After this, the atmosphere in the living room became strangely awkward.

Shu Qian thought Lin Yiyang would calm down, but he only got worse.

When the glass bottle pointed to Shu Qian again for the nth time, she couldn’t take it anymore.

Lin Yiyang was definitely doing this on purpose.

To avoid answering the questions, she had already drunk several glasses of wine.

Shu Qian was getting annoyed.

She wasn’t sure if these people were getting signals from the director team, but all the questions asked were ones she didn’t want to answer.

Damn director team, resorting to all means for ratings.

She rubbed her throbbing forehead and leaned uncomfortably on the sofa.

“Here we go, wow, finally it’s Teacher Song’s turn. Everyone’s really curious about Teacher Song.”

An Jing excitedly said.

Song Xun nodded coldly, “I choose truth.”

“Well then, we better think carefully.”

An Jing coquettishly blinked and turned to Lin Yiyang.

Receiving the subtle hint behind him, Lin Yiyang smirked with meaning, his gaze falling thoughtfully on Shu Qian.

“Teacher Song, did you and Shu Qian know each other before?”

Shu Qian slowly opened her eyes, her slightly tipsy gaze confused.

Who was calling her?

Silence.

Still silence.

Just as An Jing was about to ask for the nth time, Song Xun turned to Shu Qian.

“Yes, we know each other.”

Song Xun had always been a high and cold type, aloof and unattached, and no one had ever heard of him being involved with any woman.

Yet this time, he openly admitted he knew Shu Qian before.

“What??”

An Jing was shocked, her voice trembling with excitement.

She quickly realized she was overreacting, suppressing jealousy and forcing a stiff smile.

“Really? Why have we never heard Teacher Song mention this before?”

Song Xun stayed silent and instead picked up a pillow to cover Shu Qian’s legs.

[What’s going on? Do Song Xun’s fans know about this?]

[I’m a Song Xun fan, and this is the first time I’m hearing about it! He must have hidden it well!]

[Maybe they only heard each other’s names, no real connection. What’s the fuss?]

[You don’t understand. Song Emperor never socializes with any women privately; just knowing a name is already shocking.]

An Jing noticed Song Xun’s action, her jealousy boiling.

Song Emperor actually cared so much about Shu Qian!

Why had she never known about Shu Qian’s connection with Song Xun?

If she had, she wouldn’t have been trying to seduce Lin Yiyang.

An Jing’s face gradually hardened.

The director team was also greatly shocked.

The chief director’s gloom vanished instantly, feeling refreshed.

After hesitating all evening, the ratings spike had finally arrived.

With this heat, who’s still afraid of low viewership?

People on site whispered, seemingly forgetting they were still live.

At that moment, Song Xun’s indifferent gaze landed on the grinning chief director.

Chief director: …

What was this tacit understanding with Song Emperor?

The chief director averted his eyes guiltily, cleared his throat, and picked up a megaphone.

“All right, that’s it for today’s game. It’s late; everyone go home and rest. Tomorrow, we have an even bigger surprise waiting for you.”

The guests simultaneously rolled their eyes and left quickly, each with their own thoughts.

By then, Shu Qian was too drunk to walk on her own.

Song Xun scanned the surroundings but didn’t see any female crew nearby to help.

“Teacher Shu, you’re drunk. I’ll help you back.”

Shu Qian hesitated, blinked, and then shook off Song Xun’s arm.

“Who said I’m drunk? I didn’t even drink enough to get drunk!”

With that, she waved her hand and headed out first.

“It’s late, time to go home.”

“Wow, the mooncake in the sky is so big!”

Standing at the villa door, Shu Qian pointed at the moon with exaggerated awe.

[Help! Shu Qian is so funny.]

[Hahaha, my friend once got drunk and insisted on fishing the moon out of the water, and another wanted to chat with Chang’e on the moon.]

[Fake, right? She only drank a little and got drunk?]

[I’m an old fan of Shu Qian; everyone knows her alcohol tolerance is basically zero.]

[This woman loves the spotlight, I really don’t like watching her.]

She glanced at Song Xun behind her but got no response.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Shu Qian suddenly leaned over and said loudly.

“Are you mute?”

She laughed softly but still didn’t get an answer.

Tch—

What’s with this arrogant stinky man!

Shu Qian suddenly got angry and sped up, running ahead.

“Such a big mirror! I’m going to look in the mirror.”

She was so fast, no one could react in time.

“Careful!”

Song Xun’s face changed drastically, and he grabbed her arm.
