120: Magic vs. Magic

Watching Feng Qinmian leave after only a few words, Shen Qian was certain that she had wanted to open up to him. If Shen Qian hadn't known her, he might have opened up for the sake of the conquest, but now that he knew she was a poisonous rose, opening up to her was out of the question.

He needed to conserve his energy; tomorrow he still had to deal with that little girl, Liu Shuxin.

The next day, Shen Qian woke up early and left after a brief greeting with a few people from the club. Since they already thought he was in their pond, there was no point in staying.

"Morning, Counselor."

Shen Qian greeted him warmly, but Liu Qingyun's face was glum, forcing a smile.

"It's really hard on him." Looking at the few new grey hairs on his head, Shen Qian was just glad he didn't have a sister, otherwise he'd be just as worried as Liu Qingyun.

"Brother Shen Qian, you're here!"

Liu Shuxin's joy and Liu Qingyun's sorrow formed a stark contrast at this moment. The girl hugged Shen Qian's arm as soon as she approached.

"Brother, we're going out now."

"It's only nine o'clock, and you're already going out?"

Liu Shuxin turned back and glared at Liu Qingyun.

"It's already nine. If we don't go out now, should we wait until the afternoon?"

Liu Qingyun was already terribly worried, and Liu Shuxin's glare made his face even uglier. He could only turn away and wave his hand.

"Alright, alright, go. Shen Qian, remember to bring my sister back early."

Liu Shuxin couldn't tell, but Shen Qian could. Her brother was probably on the verge of tears, his voice trembling slightly.

Girls of this age have a strong desire to share. For the entire morning, Shen Qian and the girl walked in and out of shops of all sizes, trying things on. The girl didn't buy anything, but she was very happy to experience it.

"Your brother gave me 1000 to take you out."

"Really?"

The girl's eyes lit up, but then she lowered her head slightly and leaned close to Shen Qian.

"Brother, did you buy that?"

"What?"

"I mean, don't you understand?"

Shen Qian shook his head.

"I don't use that stuff."

Of course, he was lying. Ever since the Waterloo brought by Liu Xinyao, Shen Qian always carried it whenever he went out, which was why he and Yu Ziwei could smoothly proceed in the car that night.

"No, no need!!!"

The girl was startled. Shen Qian thought she was scared, but then her next words startled him.

"No need then. I heard Tong Tong say that for the first time, you really don't need it.

You just have to hold back. I heard boys usually can't..."

Shen Qian quickly told her to stop. Even Shen Qian found it a bit unbearable to have such explicit words spoken in public by a girl with such an innocent face, as if giving a lecture.

Since she was teasing him like this, if Shen Qian still let her off, he would have been a scumbag for nothing. The car drove to the hotel, and the girl's face gradually turned red.

By the time they reached the hotel entrance, the girl was too nervous to speak. Shen Qian wasn't in a hurry; he just waited quietly.

The reason why Huang Mao always succeeded was that he didn't give girls time to think, focusing on a quick attack.

For Shen Qian, sleeping with a girl, aside from getting more scumbag points, no longer provided any other boosts. Of course, the first time gave more points.

However, Liu Qingyun wasn't easy either.

Giving this girl time to think was already the utmost kindness. If she thought it through and still decided to go upstairs to open a room, he wouldn't refuse. After all, one of the three elements of a scumbag was not to refuse.

"Brother Shen Qian, do a lot of girls chase you at school?"

"Yes, quite a few. Some are in my year, and some are one or two years older."

"Then, are there any you like?"

"I like them all pretty much."

"Then aren't you just falling in love with everyone you see?"

"No, no, no." Shen Qian shook his head repeatedly, and the girl finally relaxed a little.

"Falling in love with everyone I see was before. Now I'm different; I only fall in love with pretty ones I see."

"So you like me now, but you'll like others later, right?"

Shen Qian had a slight headache. Women are like this; they always ask questions they already know the answers to. But frankly, this is a form of domestication. They want to gradually gain a man's loyalty, yet throughout history, only the subordinate needed to be loyal to the superior.

"Then do you like me now, and will not like other men in the future?

If we're together now, and not together in the future, will you date other men?

If I'm not by your side and other men show interest in you, will you always keep your distance from them?

Will you always reply to my messages instantly? Even when you're sad or upset.

Will your promises always be valid?"

A string of questions stunned Liu Shuxin. Actually, she had only asked that question because she wanted Shen Qian to lie to her. If Shen Qian said it, even if it was a lie, she would be willing to believe it.

When an average man says these things, most women would find it off-putting, disgusting, and think he's promiscuous, a scumbag, and irresponsible.

The premise is that he's an average man.

Soon, Liu Shuxin seemed to make up her mind and grasped Shen Qian's hand.

"Brother Shen Qian, at least right now, you love me, right?"

"Of course, when I'm with you, my eyes are only on you."

"Okay, Brother Shen Qian, let's go up."

"Girls' standards for handsome guys are really low. If any ordinary man dared to say such things, his head would probably be twisted off." Shen Qian sighed inwardly as he led the girl into the hotel.

The hotel he chose was a four-star hotel, which could be considered making the most of Liu Qingyun's money.

Shen Qian had already achieved the 'violent driving' achievement. For this little girl, he uncharacteristically showed some tenderness, making her transition less painful, because if he had driven violently, who knew if Liu Qingyun would suddenly go crazy seeing his sister limping.

He didn't stay out long. After sending Liu Shuxin home, Shen Qian went to the hotel Tan Xin Xin had booked.

"Double Eleven is coming soon," the girl said, clinging to Shen Qian afterward.

"You also want to go on a shopping spree like other women?"

"You just bought me a car, I'm very content. Recently, Xu Ling has been working part-time, and I've also learned about some of her preferences..."

"COS, and she's a two-dimensional girl. It's no wonder she has that kind of hair and personality. Next, find out her schedule, and also, can you find out her favorite anime male character?"

"What do you want to do?"

"For a girl like her, relying on looks and money might not work. Since I know her hobbies, why don't I just cosplay as her destined person?"
