119: This is a weirdo.

Their upper bodies were pressed tightly together. Shen Qian kissed her without a word, but Feng Qinmian kept her mouth tightly shut, and ten seconds quickly passed.

“Alright, time's up!”

The two separated. Shen Qian looked at Feng Qinmian with a smile, while a subtle hint of malice flashed in Feng Qinmian's eyes.

“This bastard! He actually used his tongue to pry!”

If she couldn't afford to completely fall out with him right now, Feng Qinmian truly wanted to bite off his tongue and slap him.

The Club President was actually right; this really was her first kiss. She had thought that keeping her teeth clenched meant it wouldn't count as a kiss, but this guy actually succeeded in breaking through at the last second!

How many people had he kissed? How could his tongue be so strong!

Shen Qian happily returned to his seat, meeting the murderous gaze of the boy beside him.

“Idiot. Thinking that hugging someone else's woman makes her yours. Where does this inexplicable possessiveness come from?”

Shen Qian cursed inwardly, but his face held a cheeky expression.

“Hehe, thanks for letting me win. Since I won this hand, the first kiss is mine! Hahahaha!”

“Hmph!”

The other person did not reply, but instead snorted coldly and continued drawing tiles.

“I got a taste of sweetness, but that shouldn't be enough for them.”

Shen Qian knew it well. Sure enough, in the next round, he won again, but this time the target was the Club President.

“Do you know what this is? This is the darkest hour before the dawn! My luck has come! Hahahahaha.”

Shen Qian was extremely smug, acting exactly like an addicted gambler who had gone all in.

The card game lasted for more than two hours. Shen Qian had wins and losses, but the punishments still involved those small cards, until they stopped when it was time to eat.

After eating, the Club President showed no intention of starting another card game.

“Are they waiting for me? Or perhaps...”

The boy who was playing Mahjong with them approached the Club President and said something, but the Club President just shook her head.

“If I suggest continuing to play next, and they don't refuse, then my deduction is almost certainly correct.”

He slowly approached.

“Club President, how about we play a little longer?”

“We can't do it here. It'll be dark soon, and everyone needs to sleep. Playing Mahjong would be too disruptive.”

“Is that so...”

“It's fine if we can't play today. I'll call you when there's another game.”

Shen Qian understood instantly. There was still plenty of time, so it seemed the other party wanted to keep baiting him.

He glanced over at Feng Qinmian and winked at her, but she ignored him.

Night fell. Shen Qian found a place to sit and sent a message to Qin Lan.

“How did it go?”

“The parents of the local one came. They kept apologizing and pleaded poverty to me.”

“So what are you planning to do?”

“Pleading poverty my ass! They're locals. Forget three families pooling over a hundred thousand, even one family can cough up that much. I'm not some delicate little princess who softens up after two tears.

I told them they have to compensate for exactly what they damaged, and if they don't, I'll call the police.”

“Good, as long as you can handle it properly.” Shen Qian had been thinking that if Qin Lan caved in so easily, he would remove her from the prospective Girlfriend list; he didn't need a Holy Mother.

“Right, help me investigate one more person.”

“Little Brother, are you here for school or for reconnaissance? Tell me, who should I investigate?”

“third year, Mahjong Club President, Bai Xiu. Be careful when investigating this person; make sure you aren't discovered.”

“Little Brother, you make it sound scary. It's just getting to know a Third Year Senior Sister. What's the big deal?”

“I'm not joking with you. This Senior Sister is not simple. If she finds out you're investigating her, you and I might both end up in trouble.

You can take a little longer to investigate, but it must be kept hidden.”

“I know, I promise to be careful. Don't worry.”

“Mhm. Once it's done, we'll go out again.”

On the other end of the phone, Qin Lan couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the reward he offered. Although she didn't understand why Shen Qian wanted to investigate this Senior Sister, it wasn't important. The fact that Shen Qian sought her help first meant she held a significant place in his heart.

Ever since Shen Qian set his sights on the four golden flowers, she had been trying to figure out a plan. Trying to stop Shen Qian from pursuing them would only accelerate her own elimination, but she was self-aware enough to know that compared to those girls, especially Xie Wan, her own charm would be crushed into dust.

Those who serve others with beauty lose favor when their looks fade, and she wasn't even as beautiful as they were.

But now, a way to break the situation was right in front of her. Since she couldn't be the one who attracted Shen Qian the most, she would become the most useful one to him. Even if not the most useful, she had to be the easiest to use. Following this man, she didn't need to do much; just follow him.

After messaging Qin Lan, Shen Qian found a sofa and prepared to rough it out for the night. Just as he was about to fall asleep, someone suddenly sat down on the seat next to the sofa.

“Senior Sister, you're still awake.”

“Mhm, not yet. I can't quite fall asleep. Little Brother, could you chat with me?”

Shen Qian muttered inwardly, “Since you've sat down here, if I don't chat with you, am I supposed to let you watch me sleep? That would be damn creepy.”

“Of course, Senior Sister. Is something bothering you that's keeping you awake tonight?”

“Mhm, Little Brother, you're a Second-generation rich, right?”

The question came out abruptly. Shen Qian could only nod, as most women asking questions hope for an affirmative answer.

“I suppose I'm a Second-generation rich. My family just has a little bit of money.”

“Your tone really resembles his.”

“Him?”

“Yes, my Ex-boyfriend. You are very similar to him, whether when you're happy or when you're interacting with people—you're practically identical.”

“Senior Sister, was what happened today really your first kiss?”

When women mention an Ex, the best way to counter is to answer with an unrelated question. Shen Qian didn't want to be inexplicably drawn into a confrontation with a non-existent competitor.

“Of course it was.”

“Then I'm different from your Ex. After all, I got your first kiss and pried open your teeth. He didn't.”

“You're so bold! Be careful, I might tell my Girlfriend and have her make trouble for you.”

“If I were your Girlfriend, knowing that my Boyfriend kissed such a beautiful Senior Sister, I definitely wouldn't make a scene. Because if I did, my Boyfriend would dump me and go pursue the Senior Sister.”

“You are very confident, and that is very charming. No wonder Xie Wan likes you.”

“I am very confident and charming, but Xie Wan liking me is pure nonsense. We belong to the category of mutual dislike; every time we meet, we look like we want to eat each other alive.”

“It's nothing, Little Brother. Go to sleep.”

Feng Qinmian was out of options. She truly had no moves left. Every one of his answers was unexpected and extremely strange. She had originally thought that a little seduction might speed up the plan, but this guy was a Weirdo.

“Hmph, so what if he's a Weirdo? Once you're in the palm of my hand, there's no way I'll let you escape. Shen Qian, since you dared to treat me like this today, I'll make sure you know the meaning of 'consequence' later!”
