Ning Chu nodded eagerly, but Zhang Shaoqing glanced at them and said, “Not interested.”

“…”

Although rejected, at least he spoke, right?

Ning Chu sighed inwardly, nibbling on a couple of peanuts.

“Drink, can’t a man handle a little alcohol?”

“I, I’m allergic to alcohol.”

“Heh~”

Under Zhang Shaoqing’s oppressive gaze and fearing that defying him would accelerate his villainous transformation, Ning Chu had no choice but to reluctantly take a sip of beer.

He couldn’t understand what was so good about beer!

Cocktails from bars were at least passable as drinks.

“I’ve known Lingling for fifteen years.” Zhang Shaoqing lowered his head, sighing, “I’ve liked her for over ten years, but she only sees me as a brother…”

Ning Chu’s eyes lit up; if he was willing to talk, things would be easier!

While the problem couldn’t be solved, at the very least Zhang Shaoqing could vent his frustration through talking, reducing the chance of him turning into the hentai villain.

He quickly handed two more bottles of beer to Zhang Shaoqing and echoed, “She never felt your feelings for her before?”

“No, when I confessed, she seemed quite surprised… She’s always seen me as a brother.”

“But she should know your feelings after you confessed, right?”

“But she still doesn’t like me.”

Zhang Shaoqing sighed, “I also know the guy she’s dating. He’s our high school classmate.”

“…”

“First Wen Yang, now a classmate…”

Ning Chu glared at Wen Yang, this protagonist was truly a sinner!

Wen Yang awkwardly scratched the back of his head, “I didn’t know back then, but I never touched her! I had never even held her hand!”

“Since he’s a high school classmate, can’t you talk to him? Like last time?”

Previously, when Wen Yang learned that Lingling was Zhang Shaoqing’s childhood sweetheart, he had immediately broken up with her.

But this time…

Zhang Shaoqing shook his head, downing half a bottle of beer in despair, “Forget it.”

“Then, what should we do…”

He glanced at Ning Chu’s worried face, then looked at Wen Yang, who silently drank with him.

“Just let me be alone for a couple of days.”

Although he knew that emotional wounds couldn’t heal quickly, Ning Chu was still a bit anxious.

Who knows what Zhang Shaoqing might be thinking in a couple of days…

But he still went along with Zhang Shaoqing’s words, “Yes, time will make it better.”

Then he swallowed, cautiously asking, “Shaoqing, you… you wouldn’t want to take revenge on Lingling, right?”

“…”

Zhang Shaoqing turned to look at him, eyes dazed.

Don’t stay silent! Silence means agreement, right?

Ning Chu shivered, already preparing to flee overnight.

“No…” Before he could finish, Zhang Shaoqing’s head hit the table, and he slumped over the small table.

Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief, at least they were able to hear Zhang Shaoqing thoughts.

At least he didn’t think about revenge today.

“I don’t know what he likes about Lingling, that girl is quite open…” Wen Yang muttered, “We had only known each other for a few days, yet she said she wanted to spend the night in my bed.”

Feeling guilty, Ning Chu crouched down to pick up the scattered beer bottles.

When he wrote the book, he didn’t care if the girls were open or not.

The point was to make it exciting; logic? Who needs that in erotic fiction?

In the end, he was the real culprit.
