The door to the dormitory was closed by Qingqing and the other three girls, who stood guard outside, not allowing anyone to enter. They did not disperse the surrounding boys either. It seemed they wanted everyone to witness Chu Zifeng's miserable state later and to warn everyone that offending their sister would have dire consequences.
Inside the dormitory, Chu Zifeng and Wu Xia'ai were alone together, but the atmosphere was unbearable for anyone!
Wu Xia'ai's appearance and her temper were worlds apart. In this Yanjing University, she walked with arrogance, and no one dared to offend her. The reason was simple: Wu Xia'ai had an extraordinary family background.
"Chu Zifeng, I'm giving you two options now."
Looking at Wu Xia'ai's fierce eyes, Chu Zifeng suddenly thought of Grandma Liu from "Dream of the Red Chamber" and Auntie Rong from "My Fair Princess." This girl was already like this at such a young age; if she grew older, wouldn't she be capable of murder and arson!
Of course, Chu Zifeng would never lay a hand on a woman. In his heart, he firmly believed that "children from the orphanage are all very kind." But kindness has its limits, and he couldn't just let himself be trampled on.
"I didn't expect I would have a choice! Beautiful lady, please tell me, what are my two options?"
Chu Zifeng smiled, thinking that it was better to avoid trouble. He was here to study, not to invite trouble!
Wu Xia'ai laughed sinisterly and said, "You can jump out of the window yourself. If you do that, I'll pretend nothing happened yesterday."
Miss, are you joking?
Chu Zifeng was sweating. Although with his current cultivation, jumping from this dormitory building, or even a building several times higher, wouldn't be a problem, he would surely be treated as a monster and taken to some research institute for scientific study!
"Tell me the second option. I don't think I can do the first one!"
"The second option is simple. You can kneel at the school gate for a day, and I'll pretend nothing happened yesterday."
"Beautiful lady, you're really making things difficult for me! Don't you know that a man's knees are worth their weight in gold? I, Chu Zifeng, kneel only to heaven, earth, and those who raised me. I'm sorry, but I won't kneel to anyone else or for any other reason."
"Then there's no other way. Today, you'll learn what 'pain' means."
Wu Xia'ai approached Chu Zifeng step by step, leaving him with no choice. He was so kind; did he really have to resort to harsh measures?
Alright, this is your doing, don't blame me for not giving you face.
"Beautiful lady, how about this? I admit that I was wrong yesterday. How about I apologize to you?"
"Apologize? If apologies were useful, why would there be hooligans?"
This sounded so familiar!
"I mean, I can publicly apologize to you. There are two options: first, I can post a notice on the school bulletin board, admitting that I tampered with the forum, which led to you, Wu Xia'ai, getting third place; the second option is that I go out and apologize to you in front of all the students, detailing how I hacked into the school's computer system yesterday."
You see, Wu Xia'ai had cheated first. Apart from Chu Zifeng and his dorm mates, no one else knew about it. If Chu Zifeng revealed this, the whole school would focus on Wu Xia'ai's cheating, not on his actions.
Wu Xia'ai was no fool. She knew the impact Chu Zifeng's revelation would have on her. She would be despised, and her authority at school would be completely lost!
"No, you can't do that, or else..."
"I was wrong yesterday. We were taught in the orphanage that when we make a mistake, we must admit it. I'll go out and apologize to you in front of all the students, and I'll openly admit my mistake."
Saying this, Chu Zifeng moved towards the dormitory door, but Wu Xia'ai quickly pulled him back, urgently saying, "You, you can't do that!"
"Of course, I must. When you make a mistake, you must admit it."
"Wu Xia'ai, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I just don't want you to make me jump out of the window or kneel at the school gate. Compared to those, I think publicly apologizing to you is better."
Wu Xia'ai was flustered, completely flustered. She didn't expect things to develop this way. She came to settle accounts with Chu Zifeng and wanted to make him suffer, but instead, she was being threatened by him!
"Then, can we pretend nothing happened yesterday?"
"How can that be? I'm a straightforward person. What happened, happened. How can we pretend it didn't? That would be a loss of face for you, Wu Xia'ai!"
"Then, I don't want the face. Please don't tell anyone about what happened yesterday!"
"Uh, let me think about it first!"
Wu Xia'ai glared at Chu Zifeng, thinking, "You damn scoundrel, how dare you threaten me! Just wait, you'll get what you deserve."
"Let's pretend nothing happened yesterday, and we'll be even."
Saying this, Wu Xia'ai was about to leave, already opening the door.
Outside the dormitory, all the students were waiting for the show, including Qi Bai and the others, but they couldn't enter the dormitory.
"Hey, Wu Xia'ai, about this matter..."
Chu Zifeng chased after her, but before he could finish, Wu Xia'ai immediately covered his mouth, shocking all the students outside.
What a joke! Wu Xia'ai, the beauty, was covering a freshman's mouth. What was their relationship? It looked so intimate!
"Chu Zifeng, please, don't say anything!"
Wu Xia'ai whispered, leaving Qingqing and the other three girls puzzled. What happened in the dormitory? Why did Wu Xia'ai seem so different?
Qi Bai and the others looked at Chu Zifeng in amazement and then gave him a thumbs up!
Fourth Brother, you're amazing. You've only been in college for three days, and you've already won over a beauty!
Heaven, what kind of world is this? I, Qi Bai, am handsome and wealthy, yet no beauty has ever looked at me!
Chu Zifeng pulled Wu Xia'ai's hand away and said, "Wu Xia'ai, about this matter..."
"Haha, everyone, actually, Chu Zifeng and I are old friends. I came to see him because I knew he entered Yanjing University. There's nothing else. Everyone can go now!"
Wu Xia'ai's attitude changed, and she even claimed to be friends with Chu Zifeng, old friends!
Think about it, in the three years Wu Xia'ai has been at Yanjing University, she has never interacted with any boys, not even the wealthy young masters. Today, she came to find Chu Zifeng and even called him an old friend. Heaven, when will you be fair?
Chu Zifeng was confused. What was going on? You, Wu Xia'ai, came to teach me a lesson, but now, who taught whom?
"Alright, Zifeng, study hard and make progress every day. If you need anything, you can come to me. We have things to do, so we'll leave first."
This was unexpected. Wu Xia'ai even helped Chu Zifeng straighten his clothes, looking very intimate. But secretly, she whispered harshly, "You better be smart. Don't say anything you shouldn't, or it won't be good for you."
Leaving a terrifying threat, Wu Xia'ai and the others left the male dormitory, and all the surrounding students dispersed with envy.

Chu Zifeng was dazed. What was happening? You, Wu Xia'ai, came to teach me a lesson, but now, who taught whom?
