"Hey, what are you doing?"

Du Xinxin had initially seen Pan Yinuo covering her chest with her hands and felt a sense of relief, even praising her best friend for being so proper.

But she never would have dreamed that the usually timid and proper Pan Yinuo could be so bold.

She was directly showing off her smoking-hot body to her boyfriend.

’Oh my god, is this something Pan Yinuo would actually do?’

If it had been Tao Siyao, Du Xinxin could have understood it, more or less.

She knew Pan Yinuo’s personality perfectly well—she was especially wary of men.

The suitor who lasted the longest only persisted for half a year.

He saw no hope and gave up.

But before she could even ponder the reason for Pan Yinuo’s actions...

Qi Sheng, his eyes bloodshot, had already swept her up and was carrying her to the bedroom.

"SOB... They were the ones who started this fire, so why am I the one who has to put it out?!"

At that moment, Du Xinxin really wanted to drag her two best friends down with her.

’You should put out the fire you start.’

...

「The next day, at ten in the morning.」

When Qi Sheng opened his eyes, he saw Du Xinxin lying in the crook of his arm.

She was muttering something in her sleep.

Listening closely, it sounded like she was cursing out her two best friends.

From the tear stains at the corners of Du Xinxin’s eyes, it wasn’t hard to guess how beastly a certain someone had been last night.

The two of them had gone at it until four in the morning.

Only then did Qi Sheng fall asleep, holding the drowsy Du Xinxin in his arms.

His "fire" now completely extinguished, Qi Sheng was in a good mood as he scrolled through his phone, waiting for the little lady to wake up.

As for his arm, which had gone numb from being used as a pillow, he considered it penance for tormenting the girl last night.

An hour later, Du Xinxin groggily opened her eyes.

The sight of Qi Sheng casually playing on his phone instantly set her off.

Du Xinxin let out a cute little AWOO! and bit down hard on the arm she had been using as a pillow all night.

"They were the ones who seduced you! Why am I the one who gets bullied? If you’ve got the guts, go after them!"

The more Du Xinxin thought about it, the angrier she got, and her eyes reddened with grievance.

Although she and Qi Sheng had been to hotels a few times...

...every other time, Qi Sheng had gently coaxed her, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

He made it so she felt no pain at all.

But yesterday, Qi Sheng had been like a raging bull.

He had completely ignored her pleas for mercy, and she was still sore now.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. I’ll be more careful next time."

Qi Sheng offered the most half-hearted apology as he gently flicked the little lady’s nose.

"Besides, you’re my girlfriend. If I went after them, wouldn’t you get jealous?"

"Er... right. No, no, you should just bully me instead."

Du Xinxin had just been speaking without thinking because she was angry.

How could she bear to share her boyfriend with her best friends?

However, after last night’s lesson...

...she felt it was necessary to warn her two best friends: absolutely no more seducing Qi Sheng in bikinis.

Otherwise, she would be the only one to suffer the consequences.

An eighteen-year-old girl is so easy to coax.

Just a few sweet words from Qi Sheng were enough to make her happily forget the wicked way a certain someone had tormented her last night.

Seeing as the little lady was "injured," Qi Sheng showed off his boyfriend power.

He carried Du Xinxin to the bathroom, and then they brushed their teeth and showered together.

Throughout the whole process, Qi Sheng pampered Du Xinxin like a princess.

In terms of mental age alone, Qi Sheng was nearly ten years older than Du Xinxin, perfectly fitting a girl’s fantasy of an ideal boyfriend.

Handsome, with a great body, and he knew how to take care of her.

Just as they finished getting ready and walked out of the master bedroom, the door to the adjacent bedroom opened at the same time.

Tao Siyao and Pan Yinuo both emerged, blushing.

Du Xinxin shot her two best friends an irritated glare.

’They’re the ones who started the fire that’s making me feel a burning sensation even when I walk.’

"Xinxin, you look so beautiful today!"

"Mhm, your skin is super fair, and it seems even more supple than before."

As Du Xinxin’s best friends, Tao Siyao and Pan Yinuo naturally knew how to placate the girl.

"Really?"

Du Xinxin’s face immediately broke into a smile. "I think so too! When I was washing up just now, I looked in the mirror and felt like my skin condition had improved a lot. Hee hee, it’s all thanks to my Shengsheng."

"Ew, that’s so cheesy! Can you please not be so dirty!"

Tao Siyao rubbed her arms in mock disgust, but she instantly understood what Du Xinxin meant.

They often "drove the car" in their dorm room.

They had often discussed how a woman’s good complexion was inseparable from a man’s "nourishment."

Especially when their own skin wasn’t doing well and they were breaking out.

Their roommates who had boyfriends never had this problem.

If they got a pimple, they just had to grab their boyfriend for a round of "hee hee."

If one time didn’t work, then they’d just do it a few more times.

"A man is a woman’s best skincare product" wasn’t a baseless saying. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

However, Du Xinxin was only eighteen.

Her skin was already smooth, fair, and supple; it wasn’t as exaggerated as Tao Siyao and the others made it sound.

At most, it was the unique charm that comes from being satisfied by her boyfriend, which was just a novelty to two girls who hadn’t seen much of the world.

After enjoying the sumptuous breakfast prepared by the butler...

Qi Sheng planned to take the three young ladies out for a stroll.

The hotel offered a concierge car service, but it required an extra fee.

Qi Sheng couldn’t be bothered to rent a car. If it were just Du Xinxin, that would be one thing.

He could rent a sports car and take his girl for a ride.

But a typical sports car couldn’t fit three girls.

It was more comfortable to just have the hotel arrange a concierge car.

He had the driver take them to the Sanya International Duty-Free City.

This was one of the destinations Du Xinxin and her friends had for their trip to Sanya.

As a special duty-free zone, each person had an annual duty-free shopping allowance of 100,000 yuan.

To Qi Sheng, this allowance was nothing special.

But for Du Xinxin and her friends, it would be difficult for them to even use one-tenth of it on this trip.

They were all college students who lived paycheck to paycheck; how could they have any money to spend?

At most, they would stock up on some skincare products that were cheaper than back on the mainland.

Back in Chengdu, they wouldn’t be able to buy these big-brand skincare products so cheaply.

"There are four of us, and we each have a 100,000 yuan allowance, so that’s 400,000 yuan in total."

"You guys go ahead and buy what you want first. You can just lend me whatever allowance you have left."

’A set of La Mer skincare, a few bags, and some fall clothes and shoes for each of the three girls should just about use it up,’ Qi Sheng calculated internally.

He had already bought several outfits from LV earlier, which were more than enough for his daily wear.

’If you want to catch a big fish, you have to bait the hook first.’

Tao Siyao hesitated for a moment. "I’ll need a bit more of my allowance, so I can only give you 50,000."

On this trip to Sanya, Qi Sheng had paid for their flights, food, and accommodations.

Tao Siyao planned to max out the credit card her dad gave her.

At worst, she could just act cute with her dad, and she’d be able to get away with it.

"That’s fine."

Qi Sheng didn’t think much of it, assuming Tao Siyao just wanted to buy a bag or some skincare products.

’She’s a rich girl; spending a few tens of thousands is nothing to her.’

Du Xinxin and Pan Yinuo had limited funds.

It would be a struggle for them to even use 10,000 yuan of their allowances combined.

By that calculation, Qi Sheng would have about 340,000 yuan of shopping allowance to use.

’Averaged out, spending around 110,000 on each girl should be enough to buy a lot of things.’

’Tsk tsk, our President Qi has no other virtues, except for his love of treating everyone equally.’

’He hadn’t "conquered" Tao Siyao and Pan Yinuo yet, but that was just a matter of time.’

’As long as he used his status as Du Xinxin’s boyfriend to keep showing his face in front of the two girls... he refused to believe they would fall for guys who were inferior to him.’

’Heh heh, our President Qi is playing an open game. It’s just a matter of who gives in first.’
