65: Accompanying the performance

Everyone thought that there were only four main characters on this trip: two Campus Belles and two Second-generation rich men.

But the moment Shen Qian made his move, it seemed to announce one thing: there would only be one main character, and that was his Girlfriend.

"Mengling, it's just a photoshoot, it's fine. I'll book one for you too."

"No way, that's too expensive! It costs 300 yuan an hour!

And you already paid so much for the hotel stay, how can I let you pay for this too?"

"What's 300 yuan? It's just a bit of my pocket money."

"Absolutely not, Senior. Thank you for your kindness, but my parents told me that a girl shouldn't easily accept many things from a boy; it's immoral."

Her voice wasn't quiet; it sounded like she was speaking to Zhou Wei, but Shen Qian felt she was speaking more to Tan Xinxin.

The dog ran away. This little lass is angry.

"It's okay, Xinxin, you are my Girlfriend. It's not immoral for a Girlfriend to accept kindness from her Boyfriend."

Shen Qian's words were meant for both Xia Mengling and Guo Shuangcai.

Aren't you screening people?

Aren't you looking for a Second-generation rich man?

A rich and devoted man is right in front of you. Unfortunately, he has a Girlfriend, but this Girlfriend doesn't seem as pretty as you. Are you going to steal him?

Throughout the afternoon, the girls weren't in high spirits. After all, having a photographer constantly following them, directing poses, and exclusively serving Tan Xinxin, this kind of favoritism within the group was extremely irritating.

Shen Qian was using his own money, so there was nothing they could criticize. He didn't even take any photos of himself, only his Girlfriend. If he wasn't feeling unbalanced, others naturally couldn't say much.

That evening, Shen Qian went to his room to retrieve something. When he stepped out, he saw Xia Mengling waiting outside.

"What is it?"

"I'm scared sleeping alone tonight. Let me have Cousins Wife for the night."

"How can you ask that? We are a loving couple; you want us to sleep in separate rooms."

"It's a rare vacation. You wouldn't refuse to grant me such a small wish, would you?"

Xia Mengling blinked her large eyes. Honestly, if Shen Qian hadn't known how wicked this girl was, he definitely would have fallen for those eyes. They held a unique vitality; it felt like even a corpse would feel warmth when looked at by them.

"Well, I have to discuss it with her. If she agrees, then I agree."

"Cousin, why are you like this? You vowed to be a scumbag, and now you're suddenly so devoted. I'm not used to it."

"I was just joking about that at first. Now I want to be a devoted person."

[Lying through your teeth to deceive a girl—behavior conforms to the scumbag standard. Reward issuance in progress...]

"Cousin, you didn't... acquire a taste for it, did you? Is that why you're saying this?"

"She really paid attention to my moments," Shen Qian thought, but he shook his head awkwardly.

"What are you talking about? How could I only be after that sort of thing..."

"Pfft, I know you boys. It's always the small head controlling the big head. If you really aren't just after that sort of thing, then Cousins Wife belongs to me tonight."

"Then what about me tonight?"

Xia Mengling had a black line across her face. This guy was surprisingly shameless.

"Cousin, have you ever liked me?"

The other party suddenly asked such a question, which made Shen Qian slightly stunned, and he looked at her in disbelief.

"Absolutely not! You are my Younger Female Cousin! And I have a Girlfriend now."

"Our family relationship is so distant it's negligible. Shen Qian, I need to tell you, I am very angry right now, truly angry.

Since the semester started, you haven't even looked at me once, and you gradually stopped sending me messages.

Now, a Girlfriend has inexplicably popped up. You were clearly a very interesting person, so why have you become like this?"

"Interesting people should be single? That makes no sense."

"I'm not trying to reason with you. Tell me, Shen Qian, have you ever liked me."

"Xia Mengling, that question is inappropriate."

The other party chose to be direct and use this method for a compliance test. Naturally, Shen Qian wouldn't give her what she wanted.

"Right now, my Girlfriend is inside the room, yet you're blocking the way asking if I like you.

The timing is wrong, the location is wrong, so there's no way I can answer that question."

"You're scared, aren't you? You're afraid that if you say you like me, but I end up not getting together with you, you'll lose your Girlfriend."

"Think whatever you want."

After Shen Qian finished speaking, he turned and entered his room.

Avoidance is a very shameful act, but in the game of romance, avoidance is equivalent to confirmation.

When a man or woman falls in love with someone they shouldn't, the first reaction is avoidance.

At this point, anyone with even a little romantic experience understands that if the other person starts avoiding them, it means they have fallen in love.

Outside the door, Xia Mengling looked at the closed door, her expression shifting from serious to playful.

Inside the room, Shen Qian yawned. Between taking the bullet train today, walking around, and just having acted out a scene, he was truly exhausted.

It must be said that Xia Mengling is a formidable girl. He didn't know where she honed her skills to use them so expertly, but as long as he stayed true to his original intention, he wouldn't fall into her trap.

Knock, knock, knock.

Just as he thought tonight's game was over, the door was knocked upon.

Shen Qian was slightly startled. This was outside his expectations. Hadn't the scene they just acted out shown that he was still her dog?

Logically, the other party should have quit while she was ahead; it was impossible for her to be knocking on the door.

"Could it be Tan Xinxin?"

"Who is it?"

"Junior, are you asleep?"

The voice sounded familiar; it must be one of the people from earlier today.

"Almost. Is something the matter?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to chat with Junior about today's photoshoot."

Shen Qian chuckled. Did she really want to talk about a photoshoot? Showing up at someone's door late at night when she should be sleeping clearly meant she wanted to arrange something else.

"Senior, if there's anything, let's talk tomorrow. It's inconvenient this late at night."

"Junior, what are you afraid of? Senior is a girl; it's not like I'm going to eat you."

"Senior, you should leave. I have a Girlfriend."

The sounds outside the room quickly ceased.

But soon, the knocking sounded again.

"Who is it?"

"Junior, may I come in?"

"No."

What relieved Shen Qian was that only two people came knocking. If all of them had shown up, even he would have gotten a headache. After all, women are more skilled at the technique of turning the tables.

Doing something with other women in the room while his Girlfriend was present would definitely earn scumbag points and record some scumbag behavior.

However, since the targets were Xia Mengling and the other girl, there was no need to complicate things. They had already taken the bait; when to reel them in was entirely up to him, wasn't it?
