Chapter 42: Goodluck
Lyca narrowed her eyes at the man's retreating back. Not an ounce of fear could be seen in his eyes. Seeing him leave made Lyca frown. Was he not afraid of her? Lyca laid on her bed and thought about the dagger on her stomach earlier. Actually, she didn't notice him move. When she targeted his neck, Lyca truly underestimated the man and thought, she could use it to show her dominance.
She was wrong.
It seemed that her initial thoughts about him were wrong. However, Lyca didn't detect an iota of killing intent from the man. That could mean, he was not intending to hurt her either. Still, the skills that he showed in that confrontation was enough for her to determine that if she fought with him. There would be no way to predict who would emerge victorious.
After all, Shen Qui was taller and stronger than her. When it comes to brute force, the man would surely win against her. But when it came to agility, Lyca might have a chance of winning. But with Shen Qui's hidden skills, she truly could not tell who would win if they gave it their all. Well… if she cheated and used some chemicals and threw it in his pretty face then that would surely assure her victory.
Allies.
Was that word really something that one should carelessly utter? No. Lyca would never say something like that to someone weaker than her. Lyca closed her eyes and steadied her breathing. In this world, how many people would she consider an ally? Her mother and father and Tang Ruyi. Those were the only three people that she would trust with her life, her allies. Shen Qui's serious face suddenly flashed in her mind.
Very well… having another good looking ally was not actually a problem. With this in mind, Lyca started beaming and hummed a tune, then she thought about the people who accepted her challenge. Right now, only seven people would experience her drug or poison. Seven was too small a number. She needed more. Lyca opened her phone and started challenging people who challenged other people. She shamelessly scheduled each challenge after their fight, making them weaker and maybe even wounded. But since that was a part of the rule, they will be forced to drink her poison.
Well… since they dared issue a ruthless rule, then Lyca was not planning to give the student council some face. She shamelessly issued twenty challenges in an hour! Shameless!
When everyone saw the list of challenges issued by the lunatic Miss Huang, their throat dried, face paled. Who would dare act like this? Was she planning to make the student council move against her? No… was she planning to over turn the whole school with her crazy challenges?
However, Lyca did not care about other people's opinion. She just found the perfect way to experiment on others without facing legal problems! How could she let go of such an opportunity? Moreover, she would earn points and become a student council member and have her own servant. Then she would finally have her delicious food! Just the thought of it immediately made her beam, happiness shone in her brown orbs.
Clearly, Lyca was very motivated to finish this task. For her servant! For her delicious food!
Beaming, Lyca run towards Shen Qui's room and abruptly opened it without even knocking. "Qui'er!"
Silence. Followed by more silence.
Lyca's eyes widened, her mouth was already on the floor as she stared at the naked man in front of him. His wet hair glistened as a towel was slumped on his shoulders. This...
"You— You— Get out!" Shen Qui didn't have the time to cover himself. He immediately pushed her out of his room and closed the door behind her with a loud bang. "Shameless! How could you just barge into a man's room without knocking!? You are supposed to act like a proper noble lady! You are a Lady of the Huang Family! Daughter of the kind hearted Colonel Huang Sheng Hong! Why are you acting like this? You are so shameless! I have never seen anyone act like you do! How did the kind colonel have this kind of daughter!" Shen Qui said all those words all in one breath! His face was so red, his hands clenched into fists. If he won't say everything in his heart, his anger would never subside!
"You didn't lock the door." Lyca's voice on the other side of the door almost made him burst into rage. After a few minutes, Shen Qui wore a black tactical pants and abruptly opened his door, his face dark. He needed to give this woman a piece of his mind or. He was not able to continue his thoughts when he noticed a huge shadow leaning against the door. With his sudden action of pulling the door open…
The next thing he knew, Lyca was already falling towards him.
*THUD*
The two fell on the floor, with Lyca lying on top of Shen Qui. Earlier, she was leaning on his door, listening to his grumbling when he suddenly opened the door, making her lose her balance and fall on him.
"Hehe…" She honestly didn't know what to say. She gave him a cheeky smile. "Your body is hard. Not very comfortable."
Shen Qui's face darkened. His body was hard? It wasn't uncomfortable? What the hell was this woman saying? And why was she smiling like a sheep? Clearly, an hour ago, this woman had just tried to kill him and threatened him. Why was she acting like this now? "Get off."
"Can't."
"Get off!" He might be really angry right now but for some reason, he did not have the guts to push her off him. "Now!"
"Heh. Can't." Lyca smiled as she rested her elbow on his chest, she gave him a sheepish smile.
Shen Qui felt her head boil. This woman… How shameless could this woman be? "I have a fight! Get off me!"
"Oh. I forgot." Lyca immediately stood and waited for him to stand next to her. Then she looked at his shirtless upper body and started grinning. "Here to wish you luck." She nodded to herself. "Goodluck." Then she turned her back and strode towards her room, closing the door behind her with a loud bang.
Shen Qui on the other hand just stood there flabbergasted. He was originally planning to talk to Lyca until his anger subsided. However… The woman had already run off to her room. Barging in was not an option. After all, he was still a very cultured man. Hmph! Just you wait and see!
