After the two finished eating, Qin Xiao took out a tissue to wipe the oil stains from Mengke's mouth.
This intimate gesture between a couple made Su Mengke incredibly shy, and her heart instinctively pounded.
"President, I'll do it myself!"
Su Mengke said.
Qin Xiao nodded, but then said, "Since you're already mine, from now on, call me Gege, okay?"
Su Mengke's face flushed upon hearing this; the address sounded a bit improper.
Seeing that Su Mengke didn't answer, Qin Xiao continued, "Come on, say Gege for me first!"
Su Mengke wanted to refuse, but having been oppressed since childhood, she didn't dare to contradict others, let alone an Overlord like Qin Xiao.
Left with no choice, Su Mengke could only call out with a flushed face, "Ge... Gege..."
Listening to this mosquito-like voice, if Qin Xiao's body hadn't had all its basic stats increased by 50 points by the System, he probably wouldn't have heard it clearly.
But for Su Mengke to do this much was already quite good.
Qin Xiao patted her head and chuckled, "Good girl, Gege will take you to eat something else!"
Su Mengke felt her face burning like fire, and obediently followed behind Qin Xiao to buy a lot of meaty snacks before returning to the classroom.
Looking at the desk full of snacks, Su Mengke couldn't help but say, "President, there's too much, I can't finish it!"
Qin Xiao glanced at her slender frame and said, "If you eat more, you'll finish it. Look at how skinny you are now; you need to gain some weight. I wouldn't want to make you suffer, would I?"
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Su Mengke felt touched. She hadn't expected Qin Xiao to genuinely care about her so much.
This allowed Su Mengke to experience a warmth she had never felt before.
Looking at Qin Xiao's handsome and distinguished appearance, Su Mengke couldn't help but feel her heart stir.
But soon, Su Mengke banished this thought from her mind.
Because she knew that Qin Xiao was only pitying her, not truly liking her.
How could such an excellent and well-connected Qin Xiao be interested in an ugly duckling like her?
Thinking of this, Su Mengke's previously bright eyes dimmed once again.
However, her favorable impression of Qin Xiao did not decrease in the slightest; instead, it increased.
Su Mengke's favorability +1+1... Ding~
【Congratulations to the host for initially conquering the female lead, Su Mengke. The protagonist's Destiny Value -700】
【Given that the host has succeeded in the first conquest, you have received a special gift package, which has been automatically opened for the host. The System Mall has also been activated for the host; the host can use Villain Value to purchase any item in the mall, or directly ask the System to purchase it】
Ding~
【Congratulations to the host for acquiring Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine. May the host continue to strive for greater achievements】
After the System's voice faded, Qin Xiao felt a profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine appear in his mind.
After experiencing it for a moment, Qin Xiao was instantly excited. He hadn't expected Su Mengke, this foolish woman, to be so easily satisfied.
He hadn't even given her any significant benefits, yet he had already achieved initial conquest.
And it had also allowed him to acquire the skill of Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
With this, what Dragon King did he have to fear?
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could grab the protagonist Dragon King by the hair and slap him.
Qin Xiao checked the items in the System Mall and found that there was indeed everything imaginable. He even saw Pangu's essence blood, but it was priced at nine digits, leaving him only able to look.
Sure enough, these Systems were all bad news, constantly eyeing Pangu's essence blood; no wonder Pangu died so early.
Looking at what he could afford, he found that besides lifespan, the other items he could currently afford didn't seem to have much use for his current status and position.
Indeed, he was still too poor, which made Qin Xiao look forward to the future.
"Pre... President..."
Su Mengke's voice brought Qin Xiao back to reality, and he looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Su Mengke didn't speak, but just looked at her small hand, which Qin Xiao was holding, too red-faced to say anything.
Seeing her silence, Qin Xiao decided to pretend he knew nothing.
Su Mengke's face was incredibly red, but she didn't go against Qin Xiao's wishes.
However, she felt increasingly shy, with an inexplicable emotion stirring within her.
Seeing that class was about to start, Su Mengke finally couldn't help but say, "President, class is about to begin. Can you please let go of my hand?"
As she spoke, she gently tried to pull her small hand away, but couldn't break free from Qin Xiao's grasp.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "If you call me President, it's hard for me to listen to you!"
Su Mengke was incredibly shy upon hearing this. If she didn't call him President, what should she call him?
Could it be... Su Mengke quickly remembered the address Qin Xiao had asked her to use, and immediately felt dizzy.
But looking at Qin Xiao, he clearly didn't intend to let her off easily.
Helpless, Su Mengke could only force herself to say shyly, "Ge... Gege, please let go of me. Teacher Xia is watching us!"
Hearing her shy voice, Qin Xiao finally released her hand, making Su Mengke breathe a sigh of relief.
However, she felt a little apologetic.
Qin Xiao was so good to her and even wanted to protect her, which made her feel very fond of him.
Now, just holding hands, she refused. Would Qin Xiao be unhappy?
Su Mengke felt conflicted, not wanting Qin Xiao to misunderstand. She was only afraid of being seen by the teacher, as that would cause a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Su Mengke wanted to apologize to Qin Xiao, but didn't know how to start, which made her feel a bit down.
"Don't overthink it, I'm not feeling Life Qi!"
Just as she was feeling conflicted and guilty, Qin Xiao's subtle voice entered her ears, reassuring Su Mengke.
Looking at Qin Xiao's smiling expression, completely devoid of any Life Qi, Su Mengke was touched.
Because growing up under the beatings and scoldings of her adoptive parents, even a slight hint of defiance would result in punishment, making her afraid to refuse or disobey others again.
But Qin Xiao was completely different, which deepened her favorable impression of him.
Ding~
Su Mengke's favorability +1+1... "Thank you, President!"
Su Mengke said gratefully.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.
Although he knew Su Mengke's situation, having not experienced it himself, it was truly difficult to imagine what kind of environment had shaped her personality like this.
As for Teacher Xia Shiya's secretly conflicted gaze from the podium, Qin Xiao chose to ignore it.
He had read this novel and knew the character settings of every role in it.
For a woman like Xia Shiya, who had a bit of a 'white lotus' attribute, once she noticed you, you should just ignore her.
Then you would find that she would become more and more persistent, just wanting you to respond.
Xia Shiya felt a bit disheartened seeing Qin Xiao ignore her.
She couldn't help but wonder how to explain her situation to Qin Xiao and ask him for help.
This made her somewhat distracted during class.
After class, Xia Shiya still didn't know how to explain it to Qin Xiao. It was truly difficult to speak up, after all, Qin Xiao was her student.
Strictly lecturing him in the morning, and now begging him, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?
Xia Shiya returned to the office feeling dejected.
"Teacher Xia, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy!?"
At this moment, a fawning voice came.
Xia Shiya immediately felt uneasy upon hearing it. She turned her head and smiled stiffly at the Dean, "Dean, I'm fine. Is there something you need?"
The Dean chuckled, "It's nothing much. It's just that a few days ago, I heard you took leave to visit your mother in the hospital, right?"
"It just so happens that I know a few famous doctors and also have some connections with the hospital. If Teacher Xia is willing, I can certainly help!"
Hearing this, Xia Shiya's heart rejoiced, but she quickly calmed down.
Looking at the Dean's covetous eyes, Xia Shiya naturally knew that there would be nothing good about this.
She had been harassed by him many times before, but she simply ignored him.
However, she hadn't expected the Dean to show up again now that her mother was in trouble.
