179: Strike while the iron is hot

That night, Shen Qian called out Tan Xinxin, as well as Qin Lan and Liu Xinyao.

Perhaps because it wasn't the first time the two of them had cooperated, they actually developed a bit of chemistry.

However, this was still not enough in front of Shen Qian, who had learned the Tuna Method.

Throughout the night, Shen Qian grew more courageous as the battle progressed. The next morning, he could even get up early to go for a run at the school. In the past, even if his kidneys had been strengthened, this would have been unthinkable.

The weather had turned a bit colder these past few days. In the shadows, Shen Qian and Xie Wan would make a little noise from time to time. Xu Ling was keeping watch on the other side. Whether it was because of the cold or because she was too shy, her ears were incredibly red.

Finally, the two finished kissing. Xie Wan left first from the other side, while Shen Qian headed toward her.

"Couples usually only do this so frequently when they're passionately in love. You guys are practically addicted. Is there really a need to be so inseparable?"

Xu Ling couldn't help but complain.

"You, a Little Socially Anxious Girl, actually know about this? I've been with her for less than two months, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we're in the honeymoon phase."

"But it's too frequent. Even the people downstairs at the dormitory every day are more restrained than you. I could hear noises just now. And your mouths—are you trying to suck each other's brains out with that much force?"

"This Little Socially Anxious Girl has a lot to say today. What, do you want to try it too?"

"I can do it. My kissing skills are pretty good; you won't lose out if you try."

"I don't want to!"

Regardless of what she said, Shen Qian took a large stride forward, grabbed the girl's hand, and then picked her up in a princess carry. Not to mention that Shen Qian's strength had increased again; even before, picking up this little girl would have been effortless.

"Ah!"

The girl cried out in surprise and then began to struggle.

"Don't move around, or I might let go and drop you."

"Let me go! She—she's coming soon!"

"I know she's coming soon, so you should be even quieter. Otherwise, what if someone hears you shouting so loudly?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"You're asking the obvious."

As Shen Qian spoke, he carried the girl into the shadows from just now.

While running, Du Xixi looked around.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Did Xu Ling not come today?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't see her when I arrived."

Du Xixi looked at the Sports Field again. It was the middle of winter, and there were hardly any people, so she leaned closer to Shen Qian.

"What's wrong?"

"Since that time, we haven't really been intimate."

"Here? This is the Sports Field, and it's so cold. Are you crazy?"

"I didn't mean that. I meant... a kiss."

"Oh~"

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Qian directly leaned in close to Du Xixi. The two embraced and kissed in a corner of the Sports Field, only separating after a good while.

Shen Qian moved his tongue slightly. This early morning had been busy enough that his tongue felt a bit sore.

"Shen Qian, how do you plan to spend Christmas?"

"I rented a villa and decorated it a bit. Do you want to come play?"

"Christmas? Not New Year's Eve?"

"It's Christmas, but both New Year's Eve and Christmas are at that villa. I rented it for half a month."

"The others told you about the New Year's Eve plans, right? Besides us, there might be two other groups of people."

Du Xixi shook her head and smiled.

"It's fine. The villa isn't small; it can easily accommodate ten to twenty people.

Besides, everyone said they're willing to split the costs, so I have even less reason to refuse.

So, do you want to come play for Christmas?"

"Just the two of us?"

"No, I also invited a few friends to throw a party. Trust me, it'll be very interesting.

Xie Wan is going too."

As if feeling that the stakes weren't high enough, Du Xixi even brought up Xie Wan.

Shen Qian tilted his head and looked at Du Xixi.

"Why did you specifically emphasize that Xie Wan is going too?"

"She has feelings for you." Du Xixi's smile was ambiguous.

"Ever since she went to the cinema with you last time, she's clearly different."

"Tell me about it. A girl who didn't even like wearing black stockings ended up doing 'research' with me in the cinema," Shen Qian thought, his expression remaining indifferent.

"So I was thinking, with your charm, maybe you can directly win her over this Christmas."

Shen Qian crossed his arms.

"It's true that I'm a scumbag, but you're being a bit too proactive. Aren't you afraid that after I get with her, there won't be a place for you anymore?"

The girl smiled triumphantly.

"If it were anyone else, I'd be a bit worried, but Xiao Wan is different. She's my best friend, the kind who would slap that bitch for me.

Will you come? If you do, I'll help you."

"Tsk, fine. Give me the address when the time comes. But I might bring another person along, is that okay?"

"Who? Your Girlfriend?"

"No, it's my Younger god-sister. She's studying at the Normal University. She originally wanted to hang out with me for Christmas, but since you've invited me, I'll bring her along."

"A god-sister, huh," Du Xixi muttered. Actually, she really wanted to ask if this 'god-sister' was a proper one, but in the end, she didn't.

After all, even if there was a god-sister, she had Xie Wan on her side. What was Xie Wan? She was the trump card!

She was equivalent to the number one Campus Belle in the entire school. Even if that god-sister was a bit prettier, so what?

"No problem, of course no problem. The more people, the merrier."

Du Xixi didn't know that this was something Shen Qian had already planned. After experiencing the Christmas Battle Outfit with Tan Xinxin, Shen Qian decided to have Xie Wan and Xia Mengling meet during Christmas. Moreover, they had to have Christmas Battle Outfits to experience double the ultimate pleasure.

Agreeing to Du Xixi now was just a change of venue; it made no difference.

While the two were chatting, Shen Qian received a message on his phone from Tan Xinxin.

"Did you win over Xu Ling?"

"Not exactly won over, just a kiss. That girl almost bit me."

"Hmm, I see. She doesn't look like she's angry. Let's have dinner together with our two dorms tonight."

"Dinner? Are you sure? That person in your dorm and the leader of our dorm are like strangers now when they meet. It wouldn't be appropriate to have dinner, would it?"

"I'll say you invited them, and they'll go. What's the big deal about a breakup? They weren't that deeply in love; at most, they just tried it out and found it wasn't a good fit."

Shen Qian understood that Tan Xinxin wanted him to strike while the iron was hot. Since the first step had been taken, he could immediately execute the second step and win her over.

"Understood. Let's set it up for tonight then."

In the afternoon, when Shen Qian mentioned this, Chang Heng was slightly stunned.

"Boss, in the first meeting after a breakup, whoever shows weakness loses."

"I understand everything you're saying, but..."

"But lately, she's been trying to get back together with me. I can't avoid her fast enough. Eating together... it's not a good idea."

"Avoid what? The more you avoid her, the more it shows she can affect you. As a man, you should face it calmly.

Trust your 'father'—the tables have turned now!"
