Chapter 663 - Small Matter (1/2)

Sweating all over, Qin Zhen ran over with two big bags of items. Before he even got to them, he had already started complaining. “You guys are finally here! I had to run everywhere to get all these things for you. Getting here later than me is such a smart move! I think I’ve completely transformed into your maid.”

“Didn’t you start lining up very early?” Zhang Heng took a bag from his hand.

“I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I met the son of a b.i.t.c.h who jumped the queue. The girl behind him got mad, and he had the guts to retaliate even though he was at fault. Immediately, an aunty and I went to help the girl. Both of us stood up for her, and in the end, that guy wanted to beat me up! ”

“Who won?” Chi Jia asked curiously.

“Isn’t the outcome obvious?” Qin Zhen said proudly. “He is a high school student and is around 1.8 meters tall. I can see that he is a basketball player and he is quite muscular as well. But then, I have always fought other kids stronger than me, which was why I wasn’t afraid of him.”

When Qin Zhen saw the two girls that stood beside Zhang Heng, his eyes lit up. Nudging Zhang Heng with his elbow, he sn.i.g.g.e.red, “Aren’t you supposed to introduce them to me?” He then lowered his voice, “Which one is your girlfriend.”

“Don’t listen to him,” Zhang Heng said to Bai Qing and Chi Jia. “His name is Qin Zhen, a friend of mine since childhood. He’s from a different school in the city, but we are of the same age. He may like to brag, but really, he’s a decent guy.”

Zhang Heng then turned to Qin Zhen, “This is Bai Qing and Chi Jia, my cla.s.smates.”

“What did you mean by I like to brag?” Qin Zhen sounded disgruntled. “I’ve always been very reliable.” As he said, he stretched out his hand and grinned, “h.e.l.lo, I am the captain of the basketball team in my school!”

“Awesome, I remember your school’s basketball team is pretty good. They came as runner up in the high-school basketball compet.i.tion last year.” Chi Jia and Bai Qing shook hands with Qin Zhen, and Chi Jia quickly picked up a conversation with him.

Qin Zhen scratched his head. “It’s a shame. We could have won the champions.h.i.+p. We were clearly leading in the first half of the compet.i.tion, but our center player hurt his leg and couldn’t perform. The opponent caught the rebound, and they managed to score a few points after that. It was not a good day for us.”

“It’s okay. You’ll make a comeback next time,” Chi Jia encouraged.

The Burger King branch they were at was completely filled, and after the four were introduced, they found a more spa.r.s.ely populated parterre near the outdoor parking lot. Qin Zhen and Zhang Heng placed leaflets on the ground, letting the two girls sit on it. The boys pa.s.sed their bags to Bai Qing and Chi Jia, divided the burgers, and started devouring their meal while standing up.

Qin Zhen was so famished that he gobbled down the burger in three bites. He then took the c.o.ke handed over by Chi Jia and thanked her. When Bai Qing saw this, she hesitated a little before taking out a cup of orange juice from the bag. “Do you want your orange juice now?” she asked Zhang Heng.

“Sure.” As Zhang Heng took the cup from Bai Qing, his finger accidentally touched hers. Immediately, Bai Qing wanted to move away from Zhang Heng’s finger, but she did not do it in the end. Before she could say anything, Qin Zhen’s expression suddenly changed.

Zhang Heng looked at where Qin Zhen looked and saw a few boys walking towards them.

Qin Zhen gasped. “That f*cker is bringing his friends here to avenge him.”

“The one who jumped the queue?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Yes. It’s okay. I can settle them. Just wait for me here.” Qin Zhen took another gulp of c.o.ke and handed the cup back to Chi Jia.

Worried about him, Chi Jia attempted to throw caution to the wind. “Hey, don’t act tough. There are so many of them.”

“Don’t turn it into a big mess. It’s not a big deal after all. Just let me talk to them,” added Zhang Heng.

To which, Qin Zhen shook his head. “If these people are reasonable, they wouldn’t have jumped queue at the Burger King.”
