Chapter 529: Chapter 199: The Love-Hate Relationship Between Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan (Part 2)

Although he had only reached first base, Tang Yan already seemed to have the demeanor of someone with bronchitis.

"I definitely won’t, Xiaoyanzi, I swear to the heavens!"

The honest man raised his hand while secretly thinking, you really overestimate me, even if I wanted to learn from Zelin, do I have the capability?

"Humph, I’ll let you off this time!"

It was only after comparing Su Zelin that Xiaoyanzi realized the good in an honest man. Initially, she wanted to find a boy with a sense of humor, but then she found out that such boys are really unreliable.

It’s better to be a Taurus; Geminis are all scumbags!

Yet, Shiqing just happened to fancy him, what a fateful entanglement!

Yan Qingyi was well aware of the role she was playing tonight, just a tool to mediate the conflict between the two sides to avoid embarrassment.

Actually, she didn’t really want to take on this thankless role, but first, it was Su Zelin’s birthday, and since he invited her, she had to show some respect, and second, after receiving a big favor from New Era last time, she had to do something to repay it, so she braced herself and came.

The fact that Huang Panpan was chasing after Su Zelin was known to anyone slightly in the know at Second High, and Yan Qingyi was also aware of Qin Shiqing’s feelings for Su Zelin. Originally, she thought that when rivals meet, they would be especially furious, and tensions would rise, and then she would have to step in to mediate.

To her surprise, Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan got along quite peacefully; at least on the surface, there was no sign of any explosive tension.

Here, one would call "Sister Shiqing," while over there it was "Junior Panpan," those unaware would think they were the wife and concubine.

Yan Qingyi couldn’t help but admire Su Zelin’s tactics.

However, Xiaoyanzi and the junior sister were always at odds, and somewhere along the way, the two had a bit of a quarrel at the bathroom door, causing Tang Yan to leave in anger under a pretext, with the honest man quickly following after notifying the errand runner.

Su Zelin couldn’t be bothered with them anyway, since Xiaoyanzi had that personality, she’d be fine tomorrow.

Maybe tonight’s ruckus could even help his buddy and her get closer.

As a result, the room only had one man and three women left, instantly becoming a lot quieter.

"Sister Shiqing, how about we have a couple of drinks?"

Huang Panpan raised her wine glass, a victorious smile on her lips.

Unexpected, right? Senior drank from my glass first, te-hee-hee~~~

"Sure!"

Qin Shiqing also raised her glass generously.

I have already marked Zelin as mine!

At this moment, Yan Qingyi finally sensed a hint of rivalry between the two.

"Um, junior, there’s something at the student council headquarters tomorrow morning, so I can’t stay too long. I’ll head back first, you all have fun."

After singing a few songs, Yan Qingyi made an excuse to slip away.

Better to escape early since she couldn’t help either party anyway.

With Yan Qingyi gone, it became a bit awkward.

Qin Shiqing on the left, Huang Panpan on the right.

The errand runner was sandwiched between two girls.

However, this was not a situation to capitalize on.

Su Zelin could sense the silent battle between his childhood sweetheart and the junior sister.

"We’ve almost had our fun; how about we call it a night?"

The errand runner coughed lightly and suggested.

"Senior, it’s still early, and we’ve opened these bottles of red wine. Wouldn’t it be wasteful not to finish them? Sister Shiqing, let’s get closer!"

Huang Panpan raised her glass once more.

She felt she might not outperform the big boss in other areas, but when it came to drinking, she had confidence in winning.

After all, a studious girl like Qin Shiqing likely wouldn’t drink, but she occasionally had meals or snacks with senior and his roommates at the Finance Academy, and they each had a few drinks every time.

If she could get Sister Shiqing drunk, then senior would be hers tonight!

The junior sister was plotting her course.

"Sure!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Qin Shiqing was not to be outdone.

The two girls clinked glasses once again.

Being sandwiched between the two, Su Zelin felt incredibly uncomfortable, so he went off to sing for a while to put it out of his mind.

After singing a few songs, he turned around to see that all the red wine bottles on the table were empty while Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan both lay slumped over the table.

The errand runner felt a bit dizzy.

Damn, and all this happened just after a few songs, what had those two been doing in the meantime?

Drinking one glass after another?

How could they not pass out this way!

"Hey, Qin Shiqing, wake up!"

First, he nudged his childhood sweetheart, with no response whatsoever.

"Panpan, time to go home!"

Su Zelin then nudged Huang Panpan.

The junior sister still had a bit of consciousness, but she mumbled something unintelligible before falling silent again.

Looks like they’re truly drunk; there’s no helping it now.

He checked the time on his phone; it was half-past ten.

With them so utterly plastered, they couldn’t possibly make it back. Even if he escorted them to the dorm entrance, they couldn’t get inside.

After thinking it over, Su Zelin called over a server, pulling out his ID: "Could you help me book a suite at the front desk?"

This KTV was attached to a somewhat high-end hotel with a decent environment, and with Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan in such a state, taking them somewhere further would be bothersome, so this was the best arrangement.

The server looked at Su Zelin, then at the two unconscious girls on the table.

A thought crossed his mind.

College students these days sure know how to have fun!

The errand runner paid for the room and handed over a twenty as a tip, to which the server didn’t say much.

Having worked there for some time, she’d seen plenty of instances where drunk girls were taken away by men, and naturally wouldn’t concern herself with it.

Besides, the guy was quite dashing; maybe those two intentionally got drunk.

...

Ten minutes later, Su Zelin had brought the two girls into the suite.

He had booked a small suite with two rooms.

This hotel only had suites with two rooms available at most.

How to arrange them was the question.

There was no way Su Zelin could return to school now.

Even though it was a high-end hotel, considering it was 2002, security wasn’t particularly great, plus with two girls as drunk as they were, he couldn’t just leave them.

I’ll sleep on the sofa in the living room, and they can each have a room.

But then the errand runner suddenly had a bright idea, albeit a roguish one.

Move the two girls into one of the rooms and toss them on the bed.

After thinking it over, he positioned them on their sides, so they were facing each other.

This position was good.

When they wake up and see each other, their expressions would be really something, hehe!

For making me play referee between you tonight, I’ll penalize you with a night of mutual animosity and affection.

He turned on the air conditioning, tucked them in comfortably, turned off the lights, and closed the door, heading to the next room to sleep.

Before falling asleep, he opened the gifts from everyone.

The others gave small gifts, but Qin Shiqing gave a Sunny Day doll.

Su Zelin was most curious about Huang Panpan’s gift.

Unwrapping the box, he found an Optimus Prime figurine inside.

Red, something any guy would love, indeed a perfect choice.

Hmm, come to think of it, the figurine’s meaning was quite fitting, particularly for how he felt now.
