Chapter 7 - substitute romance 07
As dusk approached, Yu Huan left the house on time. She was wearing a long ivory V-neck dress in a soft French style. As she walked, the soft movement of the skirt gave off a very ethereal aura. It was a classic white moonlight style.
As soon as she left the school, she was invited to get into a special car sent by Qin Yunye.
Was that such a good treatment?
Is it really not the case that the male lead found out about her identity as the malevolent female sidekick and tricked her into going over there to kill and skin someone… Yu Huan confirmed with the system, trembling with fear.
So far, apart from playing the malevolent female sidekick, she hadn’t done anything wrong, except for being paranoid, which she couldn’t control.
–
It was getting dark, and at this time of day the whole world seemed to be covered in a warm filter.
The car stopped and people got in.
Qin Yunye received the message and when he looked up, his eyes locked with that figure.
The evening sky full of sunset clouds fearlessly favoured her, painting her profile with delicate and beautiful colours like an oil painting. Her small leather shoes entered the dimly lit bar, like Alice who had wandered into a cave, innocent and alive.
Qin Yunye felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart.
Yu Huan found the male lead, rolled her eyes, looked at the remaining amount in the glass and asked in a whisper, ‘Are you drunk?’
She looked kind of cute like that.
It was as if she had something up her sleeve, but she was tongue-tied and asked the person she wanted to coax.
Qin Yunye looked at her and his heart inexplicably calmed down. His voice was hoarse with a smile, ‘Not yet.
‘Not drunk yet,’ Yu Huan reported to the system, ‘what should we do?
‘Get him drunk,’ the system said with a hint of anger.
A waiter came over and asked if they wanted to order, and Yu Huan looked at the drinks on the menu and then at Qin Yunye.
He looked like an animal making a wish.
She asked in a low voice, “Can I order some more? I want to try more.”
‘Order as much as you want,’ Qin Yunye motioned for her to order whatever she wanted, guessing there must be a little conspiracy going on.
‘One Oolong Baili sweet,’
A glass of Fire in the Sky.
‘A white moonlight.
‘And this mimosa.
…
The colourful drinks were served, almost filling the table.
I can’t finish them all,’ the young girl said, surprised that there were so many. After looking at him with beautiful eyes, she asked with a little embarrassment, “Can you help me drink some of these?”
The young girl’s performance was very unsatisfactory, and in Qin Yunye’s eyes, it was almost full of mistakes.
But this trap was like the candy house in a fairy tale. He simply felt that the little girl’s efforts to deceive him were very cute. He was even willing to fall into this trap, so how could he have the heart to resist.
So he drank glass after glass.
The little girl was clever, and from beginning to end she drank only the non-alcoholic sparkling water. But she wasn’t clever enough to see that he was drinking as she wished, and the joy in his eyes and expression became more and more obvious.
He wanted to know even more what the little girl wanted.
Until Yu Huan reached out and waved in front of Qin Yunye’s face and asked him again, “Are you drunk?
Qin Yunye didn’t answer, his eyes a little unfocused. Obviously, the effects of alcohol had begun to set in.
‘System, I think it’s ready. Yu Huan was a bit excited.
‘Then follow the plan we discussed earlier,’ System said.
‘Qin Yunye?’
‘Qin Yunye?’
The little girl kept calling his name.
Qin Yunye’s eyes narrowed slightly as if he could sense movement, but he couldn’t tell who was in front of him.
Yu Huan leaned over and asked hesitantly, “Do you know who I am?
Qin Yunye’s deep eyes reflected her face, the corner of his lips curling into a smile: ‘I know.
So gentle… It should be that he has mistaken her for the female lead. The plan is working!
Qin Yunye casually guessed what little trick the young girl was hiding, and suddenly heard the young girl’s voice tremble slightly with nervousness: ”So do you like me?
In an instant, the suppressed drunkenness returned, eating away at all reason. He was almost drunk.
Qin Yunye fell silent.
Yu Huan and the heart of the system were in their throats, and the days seemed like years. They stared at Qin Yunye without blinking, waited for a long time, and finally heard a very subdued, hoarse ‘like’.
He said he liked it!
Good, the plot has progressed a lot.
Now we come to the most critical part.
Qin Yunye suddenly had a hunch at this moment, and the answer made his heart suddenly shrink, burning hot.
By the time the little girl spoke, all his expectations, hopes, and nervousness had come true.
Can I be your friend?”
Yu Huan, who had said this, felt very insecure. She was afraid that the male lead would suddenly come to his senses and say, “No way,” and all her efforts would be for nothing.
Just as she was feeling anxious, her face was suddenly cupped by slender fingers. His deep, dark eyes looked tenderly and lovingly at her and he whispered, “It’s you.
That’s… it?
Yu Huan and the system were both a little incredulous, but this was undoubtedly good news, so much so that Yu Huan beamed.
Her unconcealed liveliness turned to joy when it fell into Qin Yunye’s eyes.
How could he not say yes?
Besides, he’d been suppressing certain thoughts for a long time.
Does this count as done? After being excited for a while, Yu Huan remembered to check with the system.
‘Yes,’ the system replied.
Qin Yunye watched as the little girl, who had just been so happy, suddenly changed her tone and told him that she had to go back to school.
She would be picked up by the same car that had brought her here.
Yu Huan habitually reached for the passenger door, but her hand was suddenly caught.
Qin Yunye naturally took her hand, leaned down and sat in the back seat, pulling her in.
‘System…’ Yu Huan asked sluggishly as she sat down next to Qin Yunye. “Didn’t you say that the romance between the male lead and the female lead is famous for being nothing but empty? Didn’t you say that the male lead would remain chaste for the female lead?”
‘Maybe it’s because the male lead treated you like the female lead tonight, and it was just a handshake,’ the system comforted her.
Qin Yunye’s hands were still a bit rougher than a girl’s, with distinct finger bones and strong joints. When she held Yu Huan’s hands, they were hot and full of a strange, intimate feeling that made her blush and her heart race.
Yu Huan held back her emotions, thinking that in the morning, after the male lead woke up, he would definitely want to kill her for ruining his manly virtue.
However, the person in question was not making it easy for her at the moment.
“Why don’t you say anything?
Qin Yunye looked down at her, his chin almost brushing against her cheek, his lazy, low voice almost ringing in her ear.
Yu Huan’s mind was filled with thoughts of how tomorrow would end.
Qin Yunye looked at the young girl with the word ‘nervous’ written all over her and laughed lightly, ‘Are you shy?
Yu Huan didn’t look at him, so he gently twisted her shoulder to force her to look at him.
The little girl’s expression of deep suffering and hatred inexplicably struck a nerve with Qin Yunye’s laughter. He sighed lightly and said, “It’s always like this, her courage suddenly grows and shrinks.
One moment, she’s hot on your heels and confesses her love, and the next, she’s shy and timid, as if she doesn’t know you.
Yu Huan hadn’t recovered from the shock when Qin Yunye’s beautiful smiling face suddenly appeared in front of her.
Then her lips were kissed.
The contact was so close that she could smell the other person’s breath. A cold, slightly chilly breath that had been unattainable before was now slowly warming up due to the friction.
Yu Huan was surprised and wanted to say something, but someone took the opportunity to probe deeper, preventing her from speaking.
Her face was getting hotter and hotter, her head was dizzy and mushy, she wanted to push away, but she was caught in an unprecedented numb and beautiful feeling, unable to find a way out.
Qin Yunye was very considerate of the young girl’s feelings, and his movements were very slow and gentle.
However, Yu Huan’s face grew redder and redder.
Every time she moved her hand, the other person’s palm tightly gripped it. It seemed to be a simple sign of intimacy, but it also seemed to be meant to comfort her. From the wrist to the fingers, it was stroked inch by inch, and finally squeezed into the fingers, the ten fingers intertwined.
