Chapter 440 - The First Song of Qin (13) (1/2)

“Qin Ge.” The woman frowned. “Do you have to be this heartless?”

Qin Ge yanked her hand off, using action to express his resolve.

“Just how am I not good enough? Why aren’t you willing to like me?” The woman’s eyes misted up.

“We don’t belong in the same world.”

[Side Quest: Darkness’s Redemption.]

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘I’m(bbb) just watching a show; what’re you giving me a mission for? Plus, I haven’t even settled the score from last time, and you still dare to issue another quest? I’m(lz) not accepting it!’

System was probably afraid of Shi Sheng causing trouble, for it really didn’t continue. ‘I have to be the sorriest system of all time…’

Qiao Qian’qian struggled free from Tang Jinchen’s grip and walked over to Qin Ge’s side. “Qin Ge, let’s go.”

“Who are you?!” The woman suddenly screamed. “Who allowed you to hold him?! Let go!”

The woman pushed Qiao Qian’qian, causing her to stumble and fall towards Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng dodged to the side, not getting involved. As a result, Qiao Qian’qian fell to the ground.

The floor was made of rubber[1], so Qiao Qian’qian’s palm was scraped.

Qin Ge gave Shi Sheng a meaningful look.

Tang Jinchen got angry and rushed over to help Qiao Qian’qian up. “Qiao Chu, why didn’t you help Qian’qian?”

“Why should I?” Shi Sheng crossed her arms. “I’m afraid she’ll squish me.”

“Qiao Chu, she’s your sister!”

Shi Sheng’s eyes curved up as she spoke, “Respect the elderly and treasure the young. Treasure the young ah. As an older sister, she should naturally be willing to be injured to protect her little sister.”

Qiao Qian’qian’s wound wasn’t serious. She struggled free from Tang Jinchen’s grasp. “Thank you for your concern, Junior. I’m okay.”

“Is the reason why you won’t accept me because of her?!” The woman started acting unreasonable.

Qin Ge looked towards Qiao Qian’qian before his gaze swept to Shi Sheng who was standing at the side. For some reason, the “yes” that was about to leave his lips changed into, “It has nothing to do with her.”

“What’s your relationship with her?!”

“None of your business.”

“Qin Ge, I’m giving you one last chance: come back with me.” The woman suddenly used a hard tone.

“Impossible.”

“Good! Very good!” The woman nodded, her well-maintained finger moving between Qin Ge and Qiao Qian’qian a few times, before she stormed off in her high heels.

“Still going?” Qin Ge looked to Shi Sheng, who gave him a smiling look in reply. “Of course.”

Seeing Qin Ge about to leave, Qiao Qian’qian couldn’t help but grow a bit anxious. She struggled free from Tang Jinchen and chased after Qin Ge.

Qin Ge frowned. “Ms Qiao, I only promised to help you once.”

Qiao Qian’qian’s expression froze. A hint of pleading appeared in her eyes. “Qin Ge…”

‘Please help me once more! I’m really afraid Tang Jinchen will harass me!’

Qin Ge wasn’t willing. The time he’d promised to help her was when Shi Sheng bumped into them at the end of the previous semester.

The time at MY was Qiao Qian’qian’s own initiative.

Qin Ge didn’t know what he was trying to probe Shi Sheng for back then, but now, he didn’t want her to misunderstand in the slightest.

Though Qin Ge felt it was absurd, there were times when absurdity might result in something better.

“Qiao Qian’qian, you ganged up with him to deceive me?!” Having caught on, Tang Jinchen grabbed Qiao Qian’qian’s hand with an enraged expression, not allowing her to leave.

Shi Sheng took the opportunity to go after Qin Ge.

They could vaguely hear the sound of the two arguing behind them.

……

The food at Fuyuan leaned towards the spicy side. Qin Ge didn’t really like it, so he was picky with the food. He didn’t even touch the steamed fish.

“Professor Qin, you have quite the luck with women ah!”

Qin Ge’s movements paused. He pursed his lips, not saying anything.

Shi Sheng placed a plate of fish in front of Qin Ge. He lifted his head, a question in his eyes.
