Chapter 34: Give Me Some Booze to Wake Them Up!
by xennovelUpon entering the pedestrian street there were first food stalls then restaurants followed by supermarkets, bathhouses, hair salons and open-air barbecue stands at the back.
At this time, the girls from Financial Class 3 had just come out of the supermarket carrying bags of daily necessities, chatting and laughing as they walked back attracting the gazes of many male college students along the way with their beauty and charm.
“Qingqing, don’t you think the quality of boys in our class is too poor?”
“Yeah, not a single one pleasing to the eye.”
The girl called Song Qingqing nodded noncommittally. She had heavy makeup, fake eyelashes, and even dyed the hair by her temples green, instantly becoming the center of attention no matter where she went.
“Not really, I think that Jiang Qin guy is quite good.”
Pan Xiu walking behind voiced a different opinion. Her looks were average but her overall vibe was well-behaved making her appear quite cute.
Song Qingqing furrowed her brows slightly, “Which one is Jiang Qin?”
“The one sitting by the window in the back row. He’s 1.8 meters tall with delicate features. You didn’t notice him?”
“Nope, didn’t notice.”
“What about you Jiang Tian? Did you see him?”
“Mm, I have some impression. He does look good but seems too low-class.”
Jiang Tian was a long-legged beauty who spoke with a slight baby voice. She recalled Jiang Qin and Cao Guangyu pretending to be rich with their phones and felt it was really dumb, giving her a sense of looking down on them.
Pan Xiu revealed a ambiguous smile at this point, “You know what, Jiang Qin plans to pursue Qingqing.”
Jiang Tian widened her eyes slightly, “Really? Are you sure?”
“It’s true. He has a roommate called Ren Ziqiang who I just chatted with. He’s the one who told me.”
“Qingqing, your charm is really something, attracting suitors right when school starts.”
Song Qingqing found it a bit amusing, “Am I that approachable-looking? Why does everyone, no matter who, have the guts to chase me? How funny.”
Jiang Tian recalled Jiang Qin’s appearance, “Actually he’s not bad-looking, passable in my book. Qingqing, you really won’t consider him?”
“Tiantian, you’re too naive. What’s the use of just being handsome without money? You know I have high consumption. I don’t want a boyfriend from an average family. He even envies a 3000 yuan phone, how could he buy me cosmetics?”
“That’s true. Jiang Qin definitely can’t afford to support you.”
Right at this moment, Pan Xiu’s gaze suddenly turned north and she quickly grabbed them, “Look, that’s Jiang Qin!”
Hearing this, Song Qingqing and Jiang Tian looked over and saw Jiang Qin walking out of Nanshan Restaurant. Their eyes couldn’t help but brighten, “He really is quite good-looking. Should we go chat?”
“Let’s go then. Chatting doesn’t cost money anyway.”
Pan Xiu was a notorious gossip fiend. She immediately went up and called out to Jiang Qin.
At this time, Jiang Qin was actually filled with rage and didn’t want to acknowledge anyone. But seeing they were his classmates, he still restrained himself. After all, it was just the start of school and making enemies with everyone wasn’t his style.
The girls from Financial Class 3 were quite direct. As soon as they came over, they asked if he liked Song Qingqing while Song Qingqing stood to the side with her chin raised, giving off a superior air.
Jiang Qin was stunned, thinking I fucking came here to make money, how did I end up entangled with girls?
Someone give me some booze to wake them up!
“Jiang Qin, could it be you’re shy?”
“Shy my ass. That’s all Ren Ziqiang spouting nonsense. You’re better off believing a ghost than him.”
Hearing this, the girls in the class instantly burst into laughter thinking boys were all the same, not daring to admit it once exposed.
But unexpectedly at this moment, a stunning figure suddenly ran out from Nanshan Restaurant. She angrily pushed them aside and directly grabbed Jiang Qin’s arm.
After getting a clear look at her face, the girls from Financial Class 3 all froze, eyes widening involuntarily.
Because this girl was too beautiful, her eyes brimming with a radiant spirit, and her figure was great with exquisite features.
Song Qingqing was known as the prettiest beauty in Financial Class 3 but felt a bit inferior in front of her, subconsciously taking half a step back.
“Jiang Qin, what are you unsatisfied with me about? Why are you pretending to be a stranger?”
“Chu Siqi, I have no dissatisfaction with you whatsoever. I just want us to part on good terms.”
Chu Siqi pursed her lips, eyes glistening with tears, “Then why did you suddenly stop liking me?”
Jiang Qin took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady, “Focus on your studies. I promise you’ll quickly meet someone you truly like. As for us, there’s no possibility.”
“I don’t care. You must like me and can only like me. I haven’t allowed you to leave so you can’t leave!”
“You’re really fucking awesome.”
Jiang Qin really didn’t want to say more. He turned to leave but Chu Siqi wouldn’t let go no matter what, insisting he promise to keep liking her.
The girls from Class 3 were all dumbfounded. One reason was the girl’s stunning looks. The other was that they couldn’t believe such a pretty girl would desperately pester Jiang Qin like this.
But before they could recover their wits, another equally dazzling girl walked out from the restaurant. She first apologized to Jiang Qin, then pulled Chu Siqi with one hand.
“Siqi, let’s go back and talk.”
“Hong Yan, I thought you were my bestie. Why do you have to like Jiang Qin too?” Chu Siqi glared at her resentfully.
Hong Yan’s expression darkened, “I had no idea you two knew each other.”
Chu Siqi was so angry she trembled, “I’m telling you, he has no interest in you. He’s only getting close to you to piss me off!”
“Let’s not talk about this now. We can discuss it slowly after we get back, alright?”
The next second, Wang Huiru also ran out. No one understood this convoluted situation better than her. So after weighing the pros and cons, she pulled Chu Siqi back into the restaurant without a word, leaving only Hong Yan and Jiang Qin.
The two of them faced each other like this, the atmosphere a bit heavy.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know about you and Siqi.” Hong Yan opened with an apology.
Jiang Qin shook his head, “She and I have zero relationship. Don’t pressure yourself over this.”
Hong Yan widened her eyes slightly, “Really?”
In his forty-odd years of life, Jiang Qin discovered for the first time that some things really can’t be clarified just by talking, “Too much happened today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day and we can talk then.”
“Okay, can it be just the two of us next time?”
“It’s settled then.”
Jiang Qin smiled faintly and left, disappearing into the bustling crowd on the pedestrian street while Hong Yan also took two deep breaths. After collecting herself, she entered the restaurant.
Now only the girls from Financial Class 3 were left on the street, still stunned by the scene of that apparent battle royale just now.
“I feel Jiang Qin may really have no interest in Qingqing.”
After a long while, Pan Xiu’s abrupt words instantly brought the girls back to their senses.
They exchanged glances, feeling Pan Xiu was right. No matter which of the two girls fighting over Jiang Qin, both were incomparably dazzling, not on a level Song Qingqing could compare to at all. This wasn’t some idol drama. Jiang Qin had no reason to settle and how could he possibly like Song Qingqing.
Song Qingqing’s face was already dark at this point, the shopping bags in her hands scratched open.
She had originally come with the air of a goddess to toy with Jiang Qin from a position of superiority. Who knew she’d get played instead, discovering in the end that she was the unworthy one. Unbelievable.
Moreover, when Jiang Qin left just now, he completely ignored her. This made the prideful Song Qingqing feel it was unacceptable.
Since when did I also become a negligible minor character? I’m the one with the highest face value in Financial Class 3!
But thinking back to the two girls who appeared earlier, she felt she didn’t even have the right to be angry. This was probably the most humiliating part.
