84: Schrödinger's Confession

In the hotel room, the two of them pressed their lips together, only pulling apart after a long time.

Shen Qian breathed slightly. He didn't even know how many times they had kissed throughout the night.

"Fortunately, my 'first kiss' refreshed at midnight. Otherwise, I'd feel a bit guilty always lying to people and saying it's my first."

"Zixin, you seem a little different."

"You noticed?" The girl's eyes sparkled, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face as she smiled.

"I got braces as soon as I went home. Also, I learned some fashion and makeup techniques.

I wanted to see you today, but I was afraid you wouldn't be free. Luckily, luckily I hadn't taken off my makeup when you messaged me."

"It has nothing to do with makeup or fashion; your whole aura is different."

Shen Qian could confirm that the system wasn't superficial. The scores it gave were based on a comprehensive assessment; otherwise, those girls who reached a 6 with makeup wouldn't be rated as a 5 by the system.

"Maybe it's because I missed you too much."

As the girl spoke, she hugged Shen Qian even tighter. Shen Qian's nerves had been teased relentlessly all day, and with this, he could no longer hold back.

For a while, various sounds echoed in the room.

The next morning, when Shen Qian woke up, the girl was already awake. She was lying quietly beside him, gazing at him intently.

"Aren't you tired? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"I was afraid that as soon as I opened my eyes, you wouldn't be by my side anymore."

Seeing that Shen Qian was awake, the girl immediately snuggled into his arms.

"Don't let your hand wander any further. I have things to do today and can't spend more time with you."

Shen Qian took her hand in his and looked at her fingers; there were still injuries on them.

"You've injured yourself practicing the piano again. No one does it like you."

"You play the violin so well. If I don't practice diligently, I'm afraid that if you perform again, I won't be qualified to be by your side.

After the Freshman Gala, Teacher Song also said I've changed a lot. Now, Teacher Song is willing to give me some opportunities that didn't originally belong to me."

The girl was like a little lark, chirping away to the boy she loved about recent events. Shen Qian listened quietly; at this moment, it felt as if the two were truly in love.

"It seems you really enjoy performing."

"I've studied piano since I was a child. I wouldn't say I like it, but that time I performed on stage with you was the first time I gained happiness from the piano. If there are more performance opportunities, I naturally have to cherish them."

Shen Qian kissed the girl's forehead lightly. Then, he thought of another woman, Tao Yan.

Because this senior had a boyfriend, the plan targeting her hadn't been initiated yet.

But now, Ni Zixin had given him an idea, an idea specifically for Tao Yan.

However, before that, he still needed to gather some intelligence and learn about that so-called boyfriend. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be ever-victorious.

The two of them "exercised" in the hotel for a bit longer before Shen Qian finally parted from the girl.

A young body was truly something; even though he felt a bit overextended the past few days, after just one night's sleep, he recovered as if nothing had happened.

Shen Qian didn't go directly to school but instead went to a reserved KTV room.

This was his first time helping someone else confess. Fortunately, there wasn't much for him to do—mostly just setting up candles, inflating balloons, and sticking up "love" signs.

Shen Qian felt extremely skeptical about this incredibly tacky confession method. Looking at the other two who were full of enthusiasm, he quietly approached one of them.

"Old Fourth, have you ever been in a relationship?"

"No, why?"

"Never mind."

He then approached Wei Mingtian.

"Old Second, have you ever been in a relationship?"

"A girl chased me in high school, but I was busy studying back then and didn't agree."

"Then how did that girl chase you?"

"She was always asking me questions, and she'd only ask me, never anyone else. Isn't that chasing?"

"Hmm, you're right."

Shen Qian couldn't help but feel a bit of lingering fear. If he hadn't obtained the system and hadn't undergone a series of scumbag training over the summer break, his entire dormitory would be full of romance novices!

The most critical part was that one was bold enough to give advice and the other was bold enough to believe it. The fact that things had developed to this point definitely had everything to do with these two. No wonder Chang Heng wanted to confess as soon as he returned from his trip.

He sighed inwardly and continued with the work in his hands.

By noon, the people from Tan Xinxin's dorm had arrived at the hotel, including Xu Ling. Ever since he found out Xu Ling was a 7-point girl, Shen Qian hadn't had any extra contact with her until now.

"I'm quite busy, actually. Tao Yan, Xia Mengling, Xu Ling, and Xie Wan are all currently 'in progress'."

Shen Qian felt emotional but still took Tan Xinxin's hand.

"Class Monitor, Psychology Committee Member, long time no see!"

He Wenjing greeted the several people from the dorm enthusiastically and specifically mentioned Shen Qian's titles.

"No wonder Chang Heng is worried that He Wenjing likes me. Looking at it now, there really is a sign of that."

As for whether to cuckold Chang Heng, Shen Qian hardly gave it a thought. He was a scumbag, not a moral paragon. Moreover, this girl wasn't Chang Heng's Girlfriend yet, so there was no question of cuckolding. As long as there was a benefit, he would go for it.

However, the immediate priority was to secure Xu Ling. He didn't lack girls like He Wenjing in his fish pond, so there was no need to reel her in just yet.

Chang Heng had no idea that a green hat had just whisked past his head before returning to Shen Qian's hand.

"Everyone is only allowed a small drink today. No one is allowed to get drunk. It was too painful carrying you all back last time; don't make me suffer through that again."

This was Shen Qian's sincere thought, but it was also part of the plan. After all, if the girl got drunk, how could Chang Heng confess?

Having had their first group meal, everyone was clearly much more familiar this time. Although Shen Qian said they weren't allowed to drink too much, exchanging toasts for a little light drinking was naturally not a problem.

Midway through, Shen Qian and Tan Xinxin stepped out of the private dining room together.

"Is he still determined to confess?"

"You can't talk him out of such things."

"True, but he might not necessarily fail."

"Oh?"

Shen Qian looked at Tan Xinxin and then understood.

"You mean she might accept the confession because Chang Heng is the Class Monitor."

Tan Xinxin nodded.

"Based on my observations of her over the past few days, it's a possibility. However, it might also be because of you..."

"Because of me?"

Shen Qian laughed.

"She couldn't possibly think that rich playboys have wild tastes and that something like a brother's Girlfriend would actually pique my interest, could she?"

"And would you be interested?"

"Maybe, but at least not now. And even if I were, she's not high enough quality. It would have to be someone like you at the very least."

"You've been looking at Xu Ling from time to time today. You noticed?"

Tan Xinxin's words immediately piqued Shen Qian's interest.

"Need my help?"
