Chapter 444 - The First Song of Qin (17) (1/2)

Chapter 444 : The First Song of Qin (17)Chen Xi’s tolerance for alcohol was pretty average—he got drunk not too long after he started. Luckily, he was a well-behaved drunk.

Shi Sheng called his dormmate to come pick him up. After handing him over, she got up to walk to the other end of the bar, squeezing through the crowd of people to do so.

The air in the bar wasn’t that nice, so Shi Sheng felt a bit stuffy in her chest from sitting for too long. She plopped herself down beside Qin Ge and took a sip of the alcohol on the table.

“*cough cough*…” Shi Sheng choked. “Professor Qin, just what are you drinking…”

‘So hard to drink.’

Qin Ge took the cup from her hand and spoke in a cold and distant tone, “Why are you here?”

“Why can’t I?” Shi Sheng raised a brow.

Qin Ge looked at her before continuing to pour more alcohol for himself.

Unlike Chen Xi, Qin Ge’s complexion showed no change even after so many drinks. Of course, it could just be because of the lighting.

After finishing the bottle, he grabbed his jacket and left. Shi Sheng hurriedly got up to follow him.

It had started raining outside at some point. It seemed like countless silver threads were slowly pouring down from the heavens, giving the multi-coloured, neon-lit city a hazy veil that blurred the outlines of its buildings.

From March to April, the temperature differences between night and day were quite drastic. The rain brought with it a bit of coldness.

Because the sun had been very strong during the day, Shi Sheng was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, so she felt the cold engulf her once she left the bar.

“The fuck kinda weather is this? Prof…”

Shi Sheng turned to find that he was gone. He’d already walked out…

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘What happened to being a gentleman?’

Shi Sheng thought for a bit but still chased after him. There was something off about Qin Ge.

The two walked, one trailing behind the other. The shops had long since closed, so Shi Sheng couldn’t buy an umbrella even if she wanted to.

She jogged forward to tug on Qin Ge’s sleeve. “Hey, Professor Qin, you wouldn’t be planning on taking a stroll through the rainy night, would you?”

‘That isn’t romantic at all, okay? The most romantic thing has to be done on a bed. Ahem, let’s be serious now.’

Qin Ge looked back. He paused, not having expected Shi Sheng to follow him. He then took off his jacket and placed it on her. “Go back to school. Stop following me.”

Shi Sheng rolled her eyes at him. “Professor Qin, please look at the time now, okay? Are you telling me to climb the walls?”

Qin Ge subconsciously checked his watch. It was already 12 in the morning.

“Go…” ‘…back to my home.’

He only just recalled that wasn’t possible.

Bap bap…

A high-pitched car horn sounded from the direction of the road. It came from a red-coloured sports car. The window was half-opened, so they could see that a pretty young lady was seated inside.

It was Qin Xin.

Qin Xin looked like a refined young lady who’d just come out of some high-class event from how prettily she was dressed up. She got off her car in her heels, a light blue umbrella in her hands. She gracefully made her way to Qin Ge.

Shi Sheng subconsciously tightened her grip on Qin Ge’s arm. ‘A vixen’s trying to snatch my man! Where’s my(lz) sword?!’

As Qin Ge felt the strength of her grip, he actually relaxed a bit.

“Qin Ge.” Qin Xin didn’t even spare a glance at Shi Sheng, merely looking at Qin Ge affectionately. “I’m here to fetch you. Come back with me.”
