How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 214 - 216: Huff and Puff_1

Lu Kai gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Being stubborn, huh!" Qin Jin had many methods, tickling his armpits, pulling his armpit hair, yanking his hair...

Unable to withstand the torture, Lu Kai confessed, "It’s in my storage locker."

"Then hurry up and lead me there to get it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, easy." Lu Kai begged for mercy. This stinky kid was really good at tormenting people and surprisingly strong.

Qin Jin restrained Lu Kai, switching to draping an arm over his shoulder when they encountered someone.

Meanwhile, Li Qiao returned to the dormitory to keep searching for Cheng Shuqin, but only Ma Hongxiang was there.

Li Qiao, "Has Cheng Shuqin come back?"

"She went out not long ago." Full of curiosity, Ma Hongxiang asked, "What do you need her for?"

Li Qiao succinctly explained everything.

Ma Hongxiang was incredulous, "She’s really bold. Isn’t she afraid you’ll tell the teacher? She just got in trouble and was put on record. Isn’t she going to be expelled this time?"

Li Qiao, "I’m afraid it won’t be that easy." After all, she only got put on record for using thugs to block her way.

Stealing a thesis was much simpler.

At most, she would get a notice of criticism.

Li Qiao didn’t find Cheng Shuqin and left. Just as she stepped out of the dorm building, she saw Qin Jin waiting nearby. "Jin."

Qin Jin grunted and started walking away.

Li Qiao, "..." What does that mean?

Is he angry with her?

Why though?

With people coming and going at the dorm entrance, Li Qiao couldn’t follow too closely, maintaining a moderate distance. Once outside the campus gate, she hurriedly caught up to him and took hold of his arm. "Jin..." Before she could finish, a copy of a document appeared in her arms.

"Your thesis." He withdrew his arm with a huff.

Li Qiao flipped through it casually.

It was too dark to see clearly, but the red pen marks were very noticeable.

It was definitely her initial thesis draft.

It seemed Lu Kai had similarly been guarding against Cheng Shuqin; otherwise, why would he keep the thesis? Wasn’t it just to have something to hold over the other party one day?

She closed the thesis.

Qin Jin was already ten steps away from her.

She caught up to him, "Jin, why didn’t you wait for me? Are you angry because you didn’t get to vent your anger on that guy enough? Who did you hand him over to?"

Qin Jin, "..." So he had been angry for so long, and she didn’t even realize he was angry with her? Hadn’t she thought about what might have happened if he hadn’t shown up in time?

Wasn’t she afraid that Lu Kai would keep her quiet to protect his own reputation and Cheng Shuqin’s?

Stupid, isn’t she?

Infuriating!

He walked on with long strides.

Li Qiao followed step by step, "Hey, I’m talking to you."

Qin Jin was shrouded in shadow; his features were cold, "I can’t hear you!"

Li Qiao, "..." Did you eat explosives or what?

She followed him, Qin Jin perked his ears to listen for her footsteps behind him, then suddenly they stopped. He immediately turned around only to see the shadow of Li Qiao who knew he had paused and quickly ran after him, "Jin~"

"Don’t shout my name."

Li Qiao giggled, "Are you perhaps worried that I might be caught by Cheng Shuqin’s guys, and that’s why you’re angry? In about fifty meters, there’s the main road where people are around; they might not dare to blatantly catch me." Besides, she could defend herself and would cause a commotion if she resisted.

"You’re really optimistic!" Qin Jin threw out a few icy words through gritted teeth.

Li Qiao hugged his arm and coquettishly said, "Jin, please don’t be angry, alright?"

Qin Jin remained unmoved.

Li Qiao simply went around to his back and jumped onto it.

Qin Jin instinctively held on to her, and she took the opportunity to peck his cheek, "Next time I have a problem, I will definitely ask for your help, okay? Jin."

Qin Jin was silent.

Li Qiao told jokes to make him laugh, but he didn’t, and went home to wash up and sleep.

Li Qiao looked at the bulging quilt, and thought to herself, such a trivial matter, yet he has such a big temper!

....

The next day.

Li Qiao reported the previous night’s events to the class teacher, Mr. Che.

Mr. Che personally went to the security office, but Lu Kai had already run off.

He called for the counselor, Cheng Shuqin.

Cheng Shuqin arrived at the security office area early in the morning to secretly investigate, but she did not see Lu Kai even by the time work started. She guessed that the other party had already fled out of fear of the crime.

Now faced with the class teacher, she simply went for a death-without-proof tactic, feigning innocence and saying she didn’t recognize the person Li Qiao mentioned who copied the thesis.

Instead, she said, "Li Qiao, you have to have evidence when you speak. Bring out the evidence, or you owe me an apology."

Li Qiao was prepared, "Evidence, huh!" She threw out the handwriting from the express information of Cheng Shuqin’s first submission.

After getting the journal that she had used her name to reply to, from Xue Sufen, the very next day she sent a telegram to the journal, stating that her paper had been stolen, submitted under someone else’s name, and asking them to find the express envelope that carried the paper so she could verify the handwriting and identify the thief.

She didn’t have much hope of finding it.

Unexpectedly, a week later, she actually received a letter from them, with the cut-out recipient and sender information handwriting inside the envelope.

She questioned, "Is this your handwriting or not? Would you like to have someone verify your handwriting against it?"

Cheng Shuqin was caught off guard with Li Qiao’s foresight, "I, I..."

"Is it yours?" Mr. Che slammed the desk, full of disappointment, "What’s wrong with you? If Li Qiao has offended you, you could have openly said it. How can you commit such acts again and again? Go home immediately and bring your parents here."

Cheng Shuqin turned pale, "Mr. Che, I..."

"What ’I’? Did you steal the thesis or not? What was your intent? Confess leniently, resist strictly! Speak the truth," Mr. Che thundered, eyes wide in reprimand.

Cheng Shuqin couldn’t withstand the pressure and confessed, then begged Mr. Che for forgiveness.

"You didn’t harm me, so why should I forgive you? You should be asking Li Qiao for forgiveness!" Mr. Che said.

Cheng Shuqin, with tears in her eyes, said, "Li Qiao, I..."

"Do you admit to the bracelet incident?"

Cheng Shuqin hemmed and hawed, "I, I was momentarily possessed."

Mr. Che was so angry he slammed the desk, "At that time, you were insisting that Li Qiao was the thief." This student cannot stay. frёeωebɳovel.com

Cheng Shuqin just cried.

...

Having heard from Ma Hongxiang about the conflict between Cheng Shuqin and Li Qiao, and that she was called into the office, Xue Sufen, curious, snuck to the door to eavesdrop, and then entered, "Oh, Cheng Shuqin, I treated you as a close friend, and you’ve been playing me all along." Her grandfather and uncle used to dote on her, one calling her his granddaughter, the other would call her little niece in private.

Now look.

They just call her Xue Sufen, and her uncle would occasionally call her an idiot.

Xue Sufen wouldn’t have intervened, but Cheng Shuqin could not contain her emotions, "Isn’t it all because of you? I’ve always treated you as a good friend, currying favor with those you liked, antagonizing those you disliked on your behalf. You had animosity against Li Qiao from the start of school, so I agreed with you. Just when the thug situation was arranged, you turned around and told me that your family and Li Qiao’s in-laws were fellow villagers, and your elders asked you to get along with them. By then, Li Qiao and I had already become enemies..."

Cheng Shuqin listed all of Xue Sufen’s faults.

Xue Sufen couldn’t retort before she was asked by the recently arrived Xue Lingqing to write a self-criticism and apologize to Li Qiao.

Anxious about being scolded at home, Xue Sufen complied, "Li Qiao, I’m sorry, I previously..." She hesitated, unable to just say she found her disagreeable, "Next time I promise not to target you."

Li Qiao responded indifferently, "No worries, I’ve got brains. Regardless of how you target me, I can handle it. It’s you who might not be able to afford the consequences. Right, Cheng Shuqin?"

Cheng Shuqin: "..."
