Chapter Thirty-Two: Magic High One Zhang

  Judging from the decibels of the girls downstairs, they had already reached that point. Qin Ke Yi was finally affected by their disgusting behavior and turned to walk away, passing by the stairwell door, still making a loud noise with her hands on both doors. At this time, the sound of the girl's soft screams and two people adjusting their clothes and putting on pants quickly spread from downstairs. I felt sorry that the momentary pleasure they had worked so hard for was ruined by Qin Ke Yi, and helplessly followed her out of the stairwell.

  As we stood in the corridor, facing each other with our backs against the wall, we continued our respective silences. Qin Ke Yi lowered her head to fiddle with the chain on her hand, while I simply stood there stupidly, occasionally raising my head to glance at Qin Ke Yi.

  "Are you going to say something or not? If not, I'll leave!" Qin Ke finally couldn't bear it and broke the silence.

  "Oh! There is......!" I replied subconsciously.

  "Come on, say it quickly! Don't waste my time!"

  "Ah!…… That…… Have you eaten?" I couldn't think of anything to say, so I suddenly came up with this sentence to placate Qin Ke Yi. After hearing it, Qin Ke Yi obviously lost patience with me and turned to leave. At this time, I hurriedly went up to hold onto Qin Ke Yi, and this time she didn't refuse me.

  "I'm sorry... I was wrong to leave you like that yesterday and then abandon you at home. It's my fault, but I really did have something important to attend to. Still, I hope you won't blame me! Although I've had a lot of experience writing self-criticisms, apologizing to girls is not my strong suit. In the past when I fought with Tong Chen, most of the time I would use my eloquence to make her realize that the reason for our conflict was her fault. So now facing Qin Ke Yi and trying to apologize, I'm clearly at a loss for words and don't know how to express my remorse."

  "Oh no! I don't dare to be so presumptuous! Wait till one day you're in a bad mood, who knows what kind of nasty idea you'll come up with to bully me!" Qin Ke turned around and said in a strange tone.

  "No! No! During this time when your foot is injured, I promise to take good care of you and help you recover, to make up for my guilt."

  "Hah! You have nothing to be ashamed of! Really! Didn't you just sprain my foot? What's the big deal?! You even accompanied me to the hospital and bought me medicine! You don't owe me anything now!"

  "Ke Yi, I'm really apologizing to you now, you won't want me to have this attitude towards you every day in the future, right? You must be hungry, let me treat you to a meal!" Qin Ke Yi suddenly widened her eyes and looked at me after hearing this sentence, then smiled strangely and said, "Okay! I'll give you a chance to reform yourself!" Then she turned around and walked towards their practice area, I gently supported her from behind.

  I supported Qin Ke Yi and slowly walked into the house, the girls inside were chatting together in a circle, looking at me and Qin Ke Yi entering the house, they all smiled foolishly at us.

  "Sisters! Today, Kang Jian has decided to reward your performance in the team and support our modeling team's work. He's decided to take everyone to KFC later, no one is allowed to say no, or else it would be a loss of face for me!" As soon as Qin Ke Yi announced this news, the room suddenly erupted into cheers, the atmosphere became extremely lively, and I finally understood the true meaning behind Qin Ke Yi's mysterious smile earlier.

  "Kang Jian, you won't be unhappy because I took the liberty, will you!?" Qin Ke turned his head around and said to me with a mischievous grin.

  "Ah……! No way! How did I get so lucky?! Eating with so many beautiful girls, I must have done something good in my past life to deserve this blessing!" I said calmly, but inside I was thinking of ways to torment Qin Ke Yi and get revenge.

  "Alright, sisters, let's go!" Qin Ke and the girls said with excitement, walking downstairs, while I secretly took out my wallet behind them, counting the money to see if I had enough to satisfy their desires.

  After arriving at KFC, we found the largest table and sat down. All the girls put down their bags and started queuing to order what they wanted to eat, while I followed behind them to pay for everything. When everyone had finished ordering and returned to their seats, I was left standing alone at the counter with only 3 yuan and 30 cents left in my wallet. At this time, the cashier asked me sympathetically, "Sir, would you like to order anything else?"

  "Ah......! Just give me another Coke!" I said weakly to the waiter.

  When I returned to my seat with just a cup of Coke, Qin Ke suddenly asked in a strange tone and with a mischievous grin, "Hey! Handsome guy! Why did you only order a cup of Coke?"

  "Ah......! I've eaten dinner already!" I replied nervously.

  "Oh! So that's it! Then we won't bother you anymore, sisters, don't be polite, eat more, if not enough, let Kang Jian go buy some!" At this time, I was drinking Coke and heard Qin Ke Yi's words, suddenly feeling the Coke in my mouth flowing into my nasal cavity, then "pffft" sprayed out, starting to cough non-stop.

  "What's wrong? Are you okay? Slow down, don't choke! Look at you! You're so old and still can't even drink water properly!" Qin Ke yi continued to speak in a strange tone. At this time, a female student sitting next to me voluntarily patted my back.

  "Cough, cough... I'm fine... thank you!" At this moment, my hand was in my pocket, hesitating whether to use the excuse of going to the bathroom to call Marco and ask him to bring me some money.

  In an environment surrounded by a group of girls, men are destined to be an isolated group. Now there is only one man on the table, so it's easy to imagine the situation. A group of people were chatting enthusiastically, but the topic made me want to interject and found it difficult. Sometimes everyone suddenly whispered something mysterious, then suddenly burst out laughing, making me feel uneasy. At this time, I could only drink Coca-Cola mouthful by mouthful to cover up my embarrassment, but at the same time, I tried to drink a small amount each time, otherwise, I would fall into an embarrassing situation where there was nothing to fill my mouth.

  Finally, after I timely reminded them that it was almost time to return to their dorms, everyone reluctantly said goodbye to me and Qin Ke Yi, then headed back to school together. At this point, only Qin Ke Yi and I were left sitting there in silence, gazing at each other.

  "Qin Kaiyi, are you satisfied now?" I asked in a strange tone.

  "Hah! How could I possibly be dissatisfied with Classmate Kangjian?"

  "So we're completely done with it!?"

  "I didn't say I blamed you either! You were the one who was overthinking from the start, weren't you?" Qin Ke Yi said with a sly smile.

  "Alright! Alright! I was overthinking things! But it doesn't matter, I did do something wrong yesterday! Now are you willing to make up with me?" I said with a smile to Qin Ke Yi, and Qin Ke Yi responded with an enchanting smile, "I'll think about it some more! It depends on your behavior recently!"

  "Let's play a game! It's so boring just sitting like this!" I suddenly changed the subject.

  "What are you playing? Are you coming up with another boring game again?"

  "It's so much fun! Can predict your future emotional belonging! Very accurate!" I've always thought that using superstition to fool girls is the wisest choice, they often hear fortune-telling, predicting emotions and other things, their brains will get hot, and their IQ will quickly drop to 0.

  "Oh? How do you play it?" Qin Ke asked curiously.

  "Put out your two thumbs and press them on the edge of the table!" I said to Qin Ke, demonstrating at the same time.

  "Oh? Like this?" Qin Ke imitated me and started doing it too.

  "Right! That's it! You're really clever! Don't move!" I fully affirmed Qin Ke Yi's imitative ability, and at the same time, pressed down on two unfinished cups of cola on the table with Qin Ke Yi's two thumbs that were pressing on the table.

  "What are you doing?" Qin Ke asked in surprise.

  "These are the rules of the game, I'll explain later! Don't move at all!" I said impatiently, and then picked up a half-drunk cup of Coke and put it on Qin Ke Yi's head.

  "Hey! Are you going to splash me? What kind of game is this? What are you trying to do?"

  "Alright! Actually, this isn't a game anymore, it's just a means to an end, a way to quickly eliminate the contradictions between us. If you insist on continuing this standoff with me, then I'll just sit here and watch you try to get out of drinking these three cups of cola without spilling them all over yourself! If you want to make amends with me, I'd be more than happy to lend you a helping hand! Take your time, don't rush, I'll wait for you!"

  "You bastard! Is this your attitude towards apologizing to me? Hurry up and help me get down!" Seeing Qin Ke's cautious appearance, I couldn't help but laugh.

  "Everyone has their own way of solving problems, and this is what I think is the most reasonable solution to quickly and effectively eliminate our contradictions so far." After finishing speaking, I took out Qin Ke Yi's stupid book from her bag and pretended to read it calmly.
