Just as Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian were having a casual conversation on the tree-lined path, Zhan Yi, who they had run into earlier, rushed out to make a phone call.
"Hello, Chi Yue?" Zhan Yi’s call was to Chi Yue, who was recuperating at home.
"What’s the matter?" Chi Yue asked impatiently on the other end.
Seemingly oblivious to the tone, Zhan Yi excitedly said, "Chi Yue, let me tell you something, I just saw Xia Chuyi in the small grove near our school’s Latin classroom, getting all cozy with a man!"
"What did you say?" Chi Yue asked sharply on the other end, "Who was it? Was it Ou Cong?"
Zhan Yi shook her head, "It wasn’t the Ou Cong you mentioned before, nor was it Song Yingjie from the Philosophy Department. It was some stranger."
"I’ve never seen him before, I guess he must be some wild man from outside."
"Wild man?" Hearing this, Chi Yue paused slightly and asked, "Are you sure you saw it right?"
"I’m positive," Zhan Yi replied.
"Xia Chuyi and that wild man were holding hands continuously and occasionally made some intimate gestures."
"That’s simply shameless and disgraceful!"
Upon hearing Zhan Yi’s words, Chi Yue chuckled silently on the phone.
"Chi Yue, what should I do now? Should I report them to the patrol team?" Zhan Yi asked Chi Yue.
"Patrol team?" Chi Yue snorted coldly, "No need, I’ll report directly to the police."
Recently, there had been a strict order from above. Messing around with male-female relationships could carry a serious charge.
After hanging up, Chi Yue immediately called the Kyoto City Public Security Bureau: "I want to make an official report. Xia Chuyi of Kyoto University’s Foreign Language College is messing around with an unidentified man from outside the school."
The person at the Police Station, knowing where the call had come from and that the family was significant, dispatched the police immediately after hanging up.
Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian, completely unaware that they had been reported and called "wild mandarin ducks."
Thinking about those speculations on the internet in her past life, Xia Chuyi suddenly couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Shi Qian, if you hadn’t met me but had directly encountered someone as outstanding as Senior Sister Jiang, would you have fallen for her?"
Huo Shiqian slightly furrowed his brow: "Nonsense."
Grinning, Xia Chuyi said, "Just tell me, Brother Shi Qian, if you hadn’t met me, could you have fallen for someone else?"
"There are no ’ifs’," Huo Shiqian said calmly.
"What if there were ’ifs’?" Xia Chuyi asked in a convoluted way.
Huo Shiqian replied, "I told you, there are no ’ifs’. Since I have already met you, there are no ’ifs’."
Uncle Liberation Army asserted with certainty.
Thinking it over, Xia Chuyi then said, "Well then, if when we first met, you misunderstood that I drugged you, and I misunderstood that you raped me, and I even reported you to the military, what would you do? Would you hate me?"
Huo Shiqian: "Even more nonsense."
"I’m just curious..." To get an answer, Xia Chuyi suddenly started acting coy.
Seeing the young girl so persistent, Huo Shiqian thought about it reluctantly and said, "I suppose not."
Xia Chuyi was taken aback: "Why?"
Before he could respond,
suddenly from behind, a stern voice commanded, "You two up ahead, stop!"
The police of Jingdu City, seemingly popping out of nowhere, appeared behind the two.
The police came forward, showed their credentials, and said sternly, "Someone has reported that you two are messing around with male-female relationships. Please come with us!"
Huo Shiqian narrowed his eyes, emanating a chilling aura: "Report us, messing around with male-female relationships?"
