Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 113 I'm sorry, it's my fault for not having enough self-control.

Shi Sui kicked open the door to the lounge and left carrying the box containing the maid outfit.

Pei Shuoxun is really wasting her time.

Did they make her wear a maid outfit just to make her look bad? And she even said she wanted to kiss him, she's sick in the head, she should just bite him.

These past few days, Pei Shuoxun has been calling her "Sui Sui, little sister." Although his voice is sticky and disgusting, Shi Sui feels that he has realized his true feelings and is treating her like a little sister.

There's definitely no romantic feeling involved. Saying "kiss" is just the older brother trying to tease his younger sister.

Pei Shuoxun may appear respectable to outsiders, but he is actually quite wicked at heart.

Shi Sui, with a face that looked like she wanted to kill someone, rubbed her face at the conference room door to calm herself down before opening the door.

Upon seeing this, Song Xinying asked in surprise, "Sui Sui, why didn't you change your clothes? Is the size wrong?"

Shi Sui shook her head and said in a serious tone, "I just changed, and then the president saw me and said I was ugly. He said he looked better than me in his maid outfit. He thought he was more attractive than me in his maid outfit and promised to be our face to attract customers."

Pei Shuoxun, who had just caught up and heard this, was speechless.

The people in the conference room were all bewildered.

Only Song Xinying believed it: "Yes, Pei Shuoxun in women's clothing would definitely be super eye-catching, but he needs a plus-size maid outfit custom-made. Leave that to me!"

……

At Song Xinying's insistence, Shi Sui ultimately could not escape the fate of wearing a maid outfit.

However, she had a request.

"The skirt should be knee-length."

"keep."

"I come from the countryside, so what if I'm conservative?"

"The neckline shouldn't be too big."

"The design shouldn't be too complicated."

"It's best to keep a low profile and stay ordinary."

……

Song Xinying pretended to listen, letting it go in one ear and out the other; what mattered most to her was seeing what Shi Sui was wearing.

It must be because the maid outfit prepared for today is too ordinary that Shi Sui doesn't want to wear it.

I want a super-heavy skirt with lots of custom lace trim and an extra-long hem that's definitely above the knee!

I checked my school scholarship of 20 yuan through the mobile banking app and it arrived in my account.

Shi Sui still has 100 million in the system account.

Because the money is needed tomorrow, and lottery prize redemption and remittance take time, the system changed the withdrawal method after Shi Sui's enthusiastic praise.

The system, still confused, replied: [Okay, okay, this system knows that it is the greatest, most generous, kindest, most adorable, and most… system in the world!]

[Host, you have downloaded Weibo. From now on, withdrawals will be processed through a Weibo retweet lottery!]

Shi Sui immediately downloaded Weibo and registered an account. On the homepage, she saw a giveaway post.

[Follow and retweet for a chance to win one million yuan in cash!]

System: [Host, quickly follow him and retweet this Weibo post. The draw will be held in half an hour, and the prize money will be in your account tomorrow morning.]

[But system, prizes exceeding 1 yuan are subject to a 20% tax. You should have made me retweet a post with 125 million views.]

[...] That's so clever!

After performing some system operations: [Now, host, scroll down to see another Weibo post.]

Shi Sui flipped down.

[Hey everyone, we're having a giveaway! Share this post and follow us for a chance to win 125 million RMB in cash!]

Shi Sui promptly forwarded it.

Half an hour later, the lucky winner received a notification on Weibo that they had won the prize. After filling in the information via the link, they waited for the money to be deposited into their bank account the next day.

Just as Shi Sui was happily spinning around, she received a message from Xu Chaomu saying that he had something to apologize for and was waiting for her downstairs in the dormitory.

What do you need to apologize for?

Shi Sui immediately put on a coat and went downstairs.

The boy stood under a tree outside the girls' dormitory. He was tall and slender, and his simple, unpatterned hoodie outlined his shoulders. The moonlight fell on him in a fine, fragmented way, giving him a strangely strong sense of fragility.

When she got close to him, Shi Sui's breathing became a little lighter.

"What's wrong? What do you want?"

Xu Chaomu turned around and looked at the girl. Her eyes were bright, her lips were curved into a beautiful arc, and her voice rose slightly at the end. Hearing her voice made one feel lucky.

He lowered his eyelashes, slightly hesitant.

"Let's talk as we walk." Shi Sui started walking, leading him forward. "I've been practicing calligraphy all week and my hand is sore I can barely hold a pen. Can you come for a walk with me tonight?"

Xu Chaomu gave a faint "hmm" and walked beside her, asking softly, "What happened to your hand?"

"I've been practicing calligraphy too much. I don't want to write a single word this weekend."

"It's good to take a break. Studying doesn't have to be so tiring," Xu Chaomu asked. "Can I see your hands?"

Shi Sui raised her right hand and waved it in front of his eyes, then was caught off guard and had it pinched.

She was startled and felt her palm being squeezed.

Xu Chaomu: "Can I hold your hand?"

Shi Sui saw the smile on his lips, faint but so beautiful, so irresistible.

"Sure, you can hold his hand."

After walking aimlessly for a short distance, Xu Chaomu spoke softly: "Shi Sui, I'm sorry about the 'blizzard' last Saturday."

"Ok?"

"Brother Leopard borrowed my computer to watch a show and accidentally saw your browsing history. I'm sorry."

Shi Sui was stunned. History records? That meant they saw her logging into the dark web!

As if seeing right through her, Xu Chaomu said, "I saw you logged onto the dark web."

Not wanting him to discover her misdeeds, Shi Sui stammered, "Ah, what dark web? I accidentally clicked on an ad on the page, and probably accidentally went to some website..."

I saw your post.

Shi Sui: "..."

A reward of 1 yuan is offered for finding someone. ■■ Gu Chenyi's affair has been discovered? The sky has fallen. What kind of person will Xu Chaomu think of her?

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have looked into your privacy.” Xu Chaomu stopped, lowered his eyelashes, and looked at her quietly. “But Brother Leopard said you logged into the dark web, and I’m worried about you.”

Shi Sui's mind was a bit of a mess as she tried to figure out how to explain.

She dared not look him in the eye, yet listened to what he said.

"I don't know who you're trying to get revenge on with this post, but I found posts targeting you."

"You weren't actually injured that day because you tripped and fell while walking, right? Someone hired someone on the dark web to kill you."

"I found out who posted on the dark web."

"He was a bank employee, and he also implicated a driver."

"These two people have no connection with you and should not be the real mastermind. I'm sorry, I couldn't find anything about them."

His voice was very soft and gentle. Shi Sui was slightly taken aback. Her post clearly stated Gu Chenyi. Could Xu Chaomu not see it?

Is this what the system meant when it said that because of the male protagonist's halo, the mastermind behind it all couldn't be found?

Xu Chaomu continued speaking.

"But because those two hurt you, I'm sorry, I have no choice but to take them out."

"And the dark web, I have already reported it to the Cyberspace Administration of China, and it has been blocked today."

There was so much information that Shi Sui was a little overwhelmed.

The two people Xu Chaomu mentioned should be the unlicensed taxi driver and his brother from that day, but—

"Kill them? What did you do to them?"

Xu Chaomu said casually, "It's nothing. They were at a bar. I had someone drug their drinks. They got into an argument and were seriously injured, becoming vegetative."

It's not difficult to find out where someone is, nor is it difficult to find someone to administer drugs; and manufacturing drugs is a trivial matter.

Speaking of illegal matters in the calmest tone, Shi Suiwei looked up at him. Under the gentle moonlight, the boy's temperament was even more gentle than aloof, making people calm down as well.

"Thank you, Xu Chaomu," Shi Sui said with a smile.

At such close range, Xu Chaomu was also looking down at her, his beautiful eyes sparkling.

He held her hand tightly, fingers intertwined, and lowered his head to place a kiss on her upturned forehead.

It touched and then left, so lightly that it felt like nothing had happened, like an illusion, yet a soft, warm touch truly lingered.

"It's my fault for not having enough self-control and not being able to resist. I'm sorry."

"Ah." Shi Sui was a little confused, thinking that he must have just accidentally touched her forehead with his lips, so she said, "It's okay."
