One had to admit that Qi Yusen was truly detail oriented and surely was calculative.
After he stayed here for merely one night, he had successfully identified Qiao Qing’s Achille’s heel and found out what’s of importance to her.
So he sniped everyone.
Qiao Qing, who had already decided to stay on campus, wasn’t changing her mind despite Jun Yexuan and Feng Heng’s abundance of offerings. However, after she heard Qi Yusen’s offer, she wavered.
Jun Yexuan then ordered, “Did you think you’re the only person who can build a library and a science lab? Jinghang, go...”
Qi Yusen interrupted him, “A third of the books we collected are lone copies.”
Lone copies... that meant there was only one copy left in the world.
Jun Yexuan was stifled and his face turned green.
Qi Yusen stared at Qiao Qing, “How about that? Are you going to come with me?”
Qiao Qing was confused, “We aren’t close. Why would you...”
Before she could finish, Qi Yusen interrupted her, “Can we speak in private?”
Jun Yexuan and Feng Heng’s faces tightened. Their instinct told them that that bastard was about to play his ace.
They looked at Qiao Qing simultaneously. Their faces spoke how much they disagreed with that course of action.
Qiao Qing didn’t accept their gazes. Instead, she turned around, “Let’s go talk in the study.”
Jun Yexuan, “...”
Feng Heng, “...”
No matter how much those two were unwilling, they didn’t dare to sway Qiao Qing’s decision. So all they could do was make way for those two.
Ning Ye, who came with Qi Yusen, watched those two vinegar buckets and shook his head.
He thought, the young master sure was incredibly calculative.
Speak in private? The young master was about to tell Qiao Qing her past?
He thought about it and decided to follow them.
Inside the study room.
Qiao Qing went straight for the topic, “Alright, why did you do all that for me? I’m not going to believe that people are this nice to someone they barely know.”
“It’s true that I wouldn’t treat someone that well without a reason.” Qi Yusen said seriously, “To tell you the truth, I went to a prophet earlier in life. He said that I likely won’t have any offspring to continue my bloodline. To solve this problem, I must keep a little sister by me.”
“I don’t have a sister. So I must get one somehow. The first time I saw you, I felt strangely close to you. So I want to ask you to be my sister.”
“It’s not exactly a one-way street – me being nice to you. If you agree with my proposal, you would be helping me.”
Qiao Qing, “...”
Ning Ye, “...”
Has the young master gone crazy?
A situation that could be resolved by telling the truth had been tainted with made up lies.
A prophet... no offsprings... to get this little sister of his, he sure was cruel to himself.
Qiao Qing was speechless and grabbed Qi Yusen’s hands.
Qi Yusen was in a daze. He was about to ask her what she was doing when Qiao Qing’s fingers landed on the arteries on his wrists.
She felt his pulse, then she let go. In a serious tone, she said, “You shouldn’t have any performance issues when it comes to that.”
Qi Yusen, “...”
Ning Ye, “...”
Qi Yusen laughed. He felt like this little sister of his sure was cute.
He patted her on the head again, “I don’t know. That’s just what the prophet said. Plus, having a child isn’t a one-man job. What if my other half cannot bear children? And I cannot let her go?”
Qiao Qing, “...”
Ning Ye, “...”
Young master, I’m begging you, please stop cursing yourself!
Ning Ye was close to crying.
He never could’ve imagined that the normally cold young master with little words could pull off such an act. Was he sister obsessed?
“So, girl, are you willing to do me this favor and come with me?” Qi Yusen once again asked in a serious manner. His tone was full of pleading.
