Yan Bianman also walked in at this time. After giving Alex a strange look, she said gently to Yu Xinyao, "Xinyao, don't get excited yet. Perhaps Meiyuan requested it."
Yu Xinyao was stunned, remembering how Miao Meiyuan had asked her and others to whip her last time. It was indeed possible for Miao Meiyuan to do such a thing. However, her lingering anger was hard to quell, and she said indignantly, "Even so, couldn't he have refused?"
For some reason, hearing Yu Xinyao's words made Yan Bianman want to laugh. Miao Meiyuan was a beauty, after all. What boy could refuse when she actively asked to play such an exciting game? So, in her view, it wasn't Alex's fault. Plus, she still owed Alex a favor, so naturally, she would side with him.
Miao Meiyuan reacted at this moment, shouting at the two of them with dissatisfaction, "Hey, don't just barge in. Get out quickly."
She was probably embarrassed and angry. She picked up the whip from the ground and walked toward her two best friends, cracking the whip on the ground, sending dust flying.
Yu Xinyao shrank her shoulders and took a step back. Yan Bianman hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Meiyuan, don't be angry. We were just worried about you and curious about what you were doing. We didn't mean anything else."
"Then what do you think we could be doing?" Miao Meiyuan asked back, huffing.
Yan Bianman had a flash of inspiration and smiled, "Are you practicing whip techniques?"
Miao Meiyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly. Truth be told, she didn't know how to tell her two best friends about this hobby of hers. So, after being caught, her subconscious reaction was embarrassment and anger, followed by panic.
Yu Xinyao sneered, "Practicing whip techniques? It seems you are very confident in your whip techniques. How about we have a contest?"
After speaking, she looked at Alex with a provocative gaze, clearly aiming at him. She was likely trying to get back at him for the embarrassment he caused her last time.
Yan Bianman gave Alex a helpless look and then remained silent. She had promised to play matchmaker for Alex and Miao Meiyuan, but Alex needed to handle Yu Xinyao himself. Plus, she knew how strong Yu Xinyao's desire for revenge was; she couldn't be dissuaded.
"There's no need for a contest, is there?"
Alex hurriedly refused. A whip contest with Yu Xinyao? Are you kidding? Wouldn't it hurt to get hit? Even if Yu Xinyao ended up being the one whipped, the existence of the comfort whip wouldn't be able to be hidden.
"You don't dare? Have you forgotten how you treated me last time?" Yu Xinyao glared at him angrily.
Alex felt a bit awkward. That time really wasn't his fault; it was the fault of an accidental glitch, but he couldn't say that out loud—no one would believe him even if he did.
"Alex, go for it! Show her what you're made of!" Miao Meiyuan urged from the side.
Last time, she had sided with Yu Xinyao in blaming Alex, but this time, wanting to clear herself of the suspicion of being a pervert in her sisters' eyes, her stance naturally shifted.
With no other choice, Alex had to take out the comfort whip.
Yu Xinyao rushed over. Having learned to be cautious, she struck first, holding nothing back.
Alex reacted quickly, dodging the incoming whip, and then whipped back at Yu Xinyao, hoping to break her fighting spirit.
Yu Xinyao let out a muffled grunt and fell to her knees, but she gritted her teeth, enduring the strange sensation, and tried to stand up again. Seeing this, Alex had no choice but to whip her again.
Yan Bianman had been incredibly worried when she saw Yu Xinyao take a whip strike, and seeing this, she subconsciously rushed over to stand in front of Yu Xinyao.
"Stop!"
The whip struck them both at once, and the feeling of comfort instantly made them question reality. They leaned against each other, soft and weak, to avoid collapsing to the ground.
Miao Meiyuan was stunned by the scene before her. After a long while, she snapped out of it and clicked her tongue in wonder, "This reaction... no way, it can't be, is there really someone else who is a masochist like me?"
They had grown up together, yet she had never discovered that her two friends had this interest!
The two limp women opened their mouths, but they didn't even have the strength to speak. They didn't know how to explain it, so they could only look at Alex with incredibly complex expressions.
Alex felt that this joke had gone too far, but to avoid exposing the existence of the comfort whip, he had to say with a straight face, "This is nothing to be ashamed of. Meiyuan, I'll leave them to you. I have something to take care of, so I'm leaving."
Taking advantage of the fact that Yu Xinyao and the others hadn't recovered yet, it was best to slip away quickly.
Miao Meiyuan, however, misunderstood his meaning. She patted her chest and said excitedly, "Oh! Leave it to me. I guarantee I'll convince them to join us!"
Damn it, it looked like the absurd scene from the dream world was about to repeat itself in reality.
After Alex left with an incredibly speechless mood, Miao Meiyuan stayed behind to kindly conduct "ideological work" on her two good friends, leaving them with incredibly complex feelings.
Was she actually a masochist?
This was absolutely unacceptable, ahhh!
...
After school in the afternoon, Alex first greeted Kiara, then took a car to the park where he had met Chen Luoqiu yesterday. They had agreed to meet there while chatting at noon.
After arriving at the meeting spot, he didn't see Chen Luoqiu anywhere, so Alex called her.
The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered. The first thing he heard was a girl with a very coarse voice speaking.
"Chen Luoqiu, Dr. Zhang said that as long as you agree to be his mistress, he will date me. Hurry up and agree to him. I've liked Dr. Zhang for a long time, I'm begging you."
When Alex heard this, his first reaction was: where did this bizarre sycophant come from? But he immediately realized that this girl was bullying Chen Luoqiu. Angry inside, he hurriedly asked, "Luoqiu, where are you right now?"
"I'm at the park entrance, being pestered by a crazy woman."
Chen Luoqiu's voice sounded helpless.
"Wait there, I'm coming over right now."
"You actually called me a crazy woman?"
The girl with the coarse voice was enraged by embarrassment. Fearing Chen Luoqiu would suffer, Alex hurriedly ran toward the park entrance.
Soon, he saw a chubby girl not far away holding onto Chen Luoqiu's bicycle, not letting her leave, while pointing at Chen Luoqiu and cursing. The things she said were very nasty and involved insults to her mother.
Chen Luoqiu's brows were furrowed, her expression filled with helplessness. In terms of strength, she was far inferior to the chubby girl.
The chubby girl wanted to continue cursing, but suddenly she felt her body trembling uncontrollably. She foamed at the mouth and collapsed, even wetting herself in fear.
The moment she fell to the ground, she saw a handsome, elegant-looking boy standing behind her, staring coldly at her. His condescending gaze and gentle, refined temperament made her almost mistake him for a prince, but the disdain in his eyes as he looked at her made the chubby girl feel a sense of self-abasement.
Alex didn't pay any attention to the girl. He walked to Chen Luoqiu's side, grabbed her hand, and asked, "She didn't do anything to you, did she?"
Chen Luoqiu shook her head, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion as she looked at him.
