My Wife Is Going To Great Lengths/Putting In A Lot Of Effort To Turn Me Gay - Chapter 6

Chapter 60: Jealousy (Second Update)

Xu Zhi was not the type to join a crowd. Seeing so many people gathered at the school gate, she led Qi Yaoyao to walk around to the other side.

Qi Yaoyao also retracted her gaze and followed Xu Zhi.

Just then, someone shouted from a distance: “Yaoyao!”

Qi Yaoyao mentally raised an eyebrow.

This call was noticeable even amidst the noisy environment. The speaker’s voice was soft and smooth, with a slightly raised end tone, yet unfamiliar.

Qi Yaoyao looked in the direction of the voice.

Xu Zhi also heard it. She first glanced at Qi Yaoyao and then followed her gaze.

The surrounding students slowly made way, like a tide quickly parting in two.

A tall, beautiful woman with long flowing hair and a unique demeanor walked through the crowd and stopped in front of the two girls.

A wave of perfume washed over them.

Qi Yaoyao still hadn’t recognized her, and she looked at her doubtfully, “Who are you?”

Jiang Ming raised her hand and slowly took off her sunglasses.

Looking at those phoenix eyes, Qi Yaoyao finally had a rough idea of who she was.

The Jiang Ming she saw today was very different from the one in the club lounge last night. Her cool leather jacket was open, revealing a tight white tank top and short leather shorts, which showed off her straight, long legs. With a large bust and a slender waist, she looked both cool and sexy.

This was the allure of a mature woman.

It was something high school students like them could not emulate.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a while, little sister,” Jiang Ming smiled, her voice sounding even softer.

She looked at Qi Yaoyao’s fair, delicate features, deeply satisfied with the stunning, natural beauty that held up even without the club lighting. Her gaze then shifted downwards, assessing the school uniform Qi Yaoyao was wearing.

Although not as pretty as yesterday’s dress, it showed her youthful innocence.

This only further stirred the desire hidden in her eyes and heart.

Jiang Ming was already imagining how to take off this uniform with her own hands and make her call her “Jie-jie.” Her red lips curled higher, and her eyes finally turned to the girl standing beside Qi Yaoyao.

Upon seeing Xu Zhi, Jiang Ming’s smile slowly faded.

She raised a single eyebrow slightly.

With just one look, she clearly saw the wariness and hostility rising in the other girl’s calm and indifferent eyes.

She looked good.

But because they were competing for the same person, Jiang Ming couldn’t view Xu Zhi with admiration.

She pretended not to know and asked, “Yaoyao, this is…?”

Qi Yaoyao noticed that while Jiang Ming was asking her, her eyes were fixed on Xu Zhi. A sudden sense of crisis arose in her heart!

She did not want to find herself a love rival.

Qi Yaoyao immediately stepped forward two paces to shield Xu Zhi, attempting to block Jiang Ming’s view of her. Believing she wasn’t familiar with this person, her tone was blunt. She frowned and said, “How did you find me here?”

Qi Yaoyao wasn’t tall enough to completely block Jiang Ming’s view of Xu Zhi.

But seeing Qi Yaoyao intentionally trying to block her, Jiang Ming cooperated by taking her eyes off Xu Zhi and smiled at Qi Yaoyao. “Me?”

The surrounding students discussed in low voices—

“Wow, isn’t that the transfer student who came to Class 1 not long ago? First time seeing her, she’s so pretty and elegant.”

“But I heard her grades aren’t great.”

“Isn’t that because she just transferred and can’t keep up with our review pace?”

“Hey! Is that the study god next to her?”

“Looks like it. Holy smokes! It really is Xu Zhi. Is the transfer student very close with the study god??”

“No, no. I heard this Qi Yaoyao challenged the study god not long ago, saying she would make the study god look bad in this monthly exam, and that Xu Zhi should wait and see.”

“Really?”

“That’s what everyone says, so it can’t be fake.”

“She’s got courage.”

“Speaking of which, is this beautiful motorcycle Jie-jie looking for Qi Yaoyao?”

“Looks like it. I suddenly realized that Study God Xu is also very good-looking. In front of both of them, she is not inferior in aura or appearance. I hadn’t noticed before. How are we supposed to live with a person who possesses both wisdom and beauty like that?”

“Damn! That motorcycle model, a Harley, six hundred and eighty thousand!”

“Tsk tsk tsk. Rich people.”

“Normal. This Qi Yaoyao is also a second-generation rich kid. I heard her family is super wealthy. The first time she came to school, the car that dropped her off was an Aston Martin, over six million.”

“Julie told me,” Jiang Ming looked at Qi Yaoyao, curled her lips, and said, “You left so quickly last night, and didn’t leave your contact info for your Jie-jie. I was thinking of giving you a ride home.”

As she spoke, she handed the helmet she was holding to Qi Yaoyao. “Come on, Jie-jie will take you for a ride, spin around a bit~”

Qi Yaoyao was originally guarding against this person seducing Xu Zhi.

But upon hearing Julie’s name and her offer to take her for a ride, she finally realized.

The matter was related to last night.

Jiang Ming had said she had a way to test if Xu Zhi “liked her.” At the time, she rejected that terrible idea immediately, but she didn’t expect Julie to take matters into her own hands and tell Jiang Ming about her school, leading her to find her here.

Is Julie here?

Qi Yaoyao looked around but didn’t see any other cars.

The situation was right in front of her.

A thought crossed Qi Yaoyao’s mind. She suddenly wanted to know how Xu Zhi would react to the fact that she had a new admirer.

Qi Yaoyao looked at the helmet Jiang Ming offered. She didn’t take it. Instead, she turned and called Xu Zhi: “Zhi Zhi…”

Xu Zhi also looked at Qi Yaoyao.

Her gaze was calm, and she didn’t speak.

“Can I go play?” Qi Yaoyao blinked her beautiful, deep eyes, looking eagerly at Xu Zhi, seeming quite hopeful.

Jiang Ming also looked at Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi’s thin lips tightened. She originally wanted to say yes, but the words were stuck in her throat.

She looked at Jiang Ming.

The other person’s eyes held an arrogant certainty and confidence.

Xu Zhi felt a faint irritation. She frowned, but the word “no” was also impossible to say. So, she only said stiffly to Qi Yaoyao, “The monthly exam is coming up immediately.”

Qi Yaoyao excitedly said, “It’s fine! My study efficiency has been very high lately. I’m definitely secure in the top one hundred this time~!”

Xu Zhi still didn’t budge. Her tone was rigid as she continued, “After this monthly exam, there are only seven tests left before the Gaokao: one monthly exam, two mock exams, and four short quizzes.”

Qi Yaoyao saw that Xu Zhi wasn’t directly answering but was indirectly refusing to let her go with Jiang Ming. She was absolutely thrilled inside, but she had to pretend to be regretful and refused Jiang Ming. “I’m sorry, Sister Jiang, but I need to study. I can’t go play.”

Jiang Ming tried to persuade her, “It’s just a ride; it won’t take much time. Half an hour, how about that?”

Qi Yaoyao hadn’t planned on going in the first place, so she wouldn’t be swayed.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming wasn’t embarrassed. She tucked the offered helmet back into the crook of her arm. Seeing a stray lock of hair fluttering near Qi Yaoyao’s cheek, she raised her hand to help tuck it behind her ear.

But just as her hand lifted.

Xu Zhi called out to Qi Yaoyao: “Yaoyao.”

“Hmm?” Qi Yaoyao immediately turned to look at Xu Zhi.

Jiang Ming’s hand missed its target. She also looked at Xu Zhi. The intention was too obvious.

Xu Zhi didn’t look at Jiang Ming. She just got onto her bicycle and hooked up the pedal. “Get on.”

“Oh~ okay!” Qi Yaoyao skillfully swung onto the back seat of the bicycle sideways and reached out to hug Xu Zhi’s waist.

Jiang Ming shrugged, seeming slightly regretful. She put on her own helmet, not forgetting to say to Qi Yaoyao, “Next time, Yaoyao. After you finish studying, Jie-jie will take you for a ride. See you tonight~”

The students who stayed to watch the spectacle at the school gate had dispersed.

The motorcycle engine roared, cool and showy.

The hundreds-of-thousands-yuan motorcycle rumbled past them. Jiang Ming crouched low and sped up, then suddenly pulled up the front wheel of the motorcycle, performing a cool Dragon’s Head Raise stunt in front of Xu Zhi and Qi Yaoyao.

After riding on one wheel for a distance, Jiang Ming settled back down. Without turning her head, she raised her gloved right hand and waved.

Qi Yaoyao watched the entire process and couldn’t help but let out a soft “Wow.”

Xu Zhi coolly said, “Wow what? If you were on her motorcycle just now, you would have already fallen to the ground.”

Qi Yaoyao: “…”

Qi Yaoyao was in a great mood, her eyes curving in a smile. “Zhi Zhi, are you jealous?”

“No.” Xu Zhi said with a serious face, “What is there to be jealous of? I’m just concerned for your safety. What if her skills weren’t up to par and she flipped over with you on the back?”

“But I heard she’s a well-known racer!”

“The ones who drown are the ones who know how to swim.”

Qi Yaoyao suppressed a laugh and continued to intentionally provoke her, “But what should I do? I really want to go for a ride.”

Xu Zhi: “Am I not giving you a ride right now?”

Qi Yaoyao reached out to feel the air. “It’s so slow; there’s no wind at all.”

“Next time, riding my electric scooter will be faster.”

“Or a sports car! Zhi Zhi, when you get your driver’s license later, will you drive a sports car and take me for a ride on the highway?”

This time, Xu Zhi didn’t say it was unsafe. After a moment of pause, she quietly replied, “Mhm.”

Qi Yaoyao finally couldn’t hold back her smile. She happily hugged Xu Zhi’s waist and pressed her face against her back.

Who wouldn’t like a Zhi Zhi like this!!

Qi Yaoyao wanted to tell Xu Zhi about Jiang Ming’s background, but she also wanted to keep watching her squirm and secretly concede by lowering her bottom line.

So, she asked, “Zhi Zhi, what if I keep failing to beat you in the exams, will you let me win?”

Xu Zhi: “No.”

Qi Yaoyao’s smile disappeared. She pouted and complained discontentedly, “I’m pursuing you so seriously, and you rejected me without even thinking about it?”

Xu Zhi said, “Relying on yourself is always better than relying on others’ favor.”

Qi Yaoyao scoffed, “I wasn’t serious. I only said ‘what if,’ making an assumption. If I can’t beat you, would you really be willing to let me work so hard for nothing?”

Xu Zhi didn’t speak.

Qi Yaoyao got angry: “Scummy Xu! And I like you so much! I even dreamed about you last night!”

Xu Zhi: “Didn’t you say it wasn’t me?”

“I was lying this morning!” Qi Yaoyao blurted out, “I dreamed you kissed me last night. In the library or the reading room. Anyway, there were lots of classmates around at the time!”

Xu Zhi couldn’t help but slowly grip the handlebars. After a moment, she asked, “And then?”

“I forgot. I think I woke up.” While speaking, Qi Yaoyao’s attention shifted. She immediately grew excited and said, “Daytime thoughts lead to nighttime dreams! Zhi Zhi, if I get into the top one hundred in the monthly exam, can I kiss you in the school library?!”

Xu Zhi frowned: “Don’t mess around.”

“We’ll do it secretly, when there are few people. No one will find out.”

Xu Zhi: “…”

Qi Yaoyao quickly said, “If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as a yes!!”

Xu Zhi secretly swallowed, her lips pursed, and she remained silent.

Qi Yaoyao didn’t know Xu Zhi’s reaction. She felt satisfied that she had taken advantage of the situation. She hugged Xu Zhi’s waist, leaned against her back, and looked at the setting sun behind the tall buildings. She said, “Silly Zhi Zhi, I wouldn’t ride her motorcycle. I’m not even close with her.”

Xu Zhi recalled the things the two of them were talking about that she didn’t know. Gripping the handlebars, her voice was slightly hoarse, “You two last night…”

Qi Yaoyao: “Oh, I went to find Lili last night, and Jiang Ming just happened to be there.”

Xu Zhi fell silent again.

Qi Yaoyao consciously wanted to comfort her. She rubbed Xu Zhi’s stomach through her school uniform and said, “She’s the person Julie likes. Julie is pulling out all the stops to pursue her. Don’t worry, she has nothing to do with me.”

Xu Zhi responded with an “Mhm.”

After passing the next traffic light, Xu Zhi said again, “Why should I worry? Whether it has anything to do with you or not, it has nothing to do with me now.”

Qi Yaoyao scoffed, mercilessly exposing her: “Xu Zhi Zhi, you’re being insincere again!”

Xu Zhi: “No. I have no reason to be.”

“Hmph, you know best yourself whether you are or not!” Qi Yaoyao looked at the road conditions and asked Xu Zhi, “Are we going to your place today?”

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and asked in return, “Do you want to?”

“I’m fine with anything!” Qi Yaoyao said casually, “If we go to your place, you can ride me. If we go to my place, we’ll have to stop soon, and we’ll take the driver’s car. He’s been following for a while and is almost causing traffic.”

Xu Zhi looked at the traffic light ahead, pursed her lips, and said, “Let’s go to my place. I’ll cook for you?”

Qi Yaoyao’s eyes instantly brightened. “Yes, yes, yes!!”

Wow! Could it be that Jiang Ming’s provocation worked, and Zhi Zhi finally felt a sense of crisis?!
