198: Chapter 7: 24 Hours Part 2 198: Chapter 7: 24 Hours Part 2 “Once the app is officially launched, I’m going to delete all the erotic comics from Gongsun Ce’s phone.”
“You weren’t such a cruel kid before, were you?!”
And why issue threats on the assumption that there are manga on his phone?
Does Mr.
Gongsun really look like that kind of weird otaku?
Over the phone, Qiluo snorted indignantly a few tis before making a suggestion under his continuous pleas.
“Qin Qianbai likes one-piece swimsuits,” she revealed.
The gray-haired youth seriously considered the feasibility of his friend’s suggestion.
Utilizing experience and imagination, he activated the brain’s simulation function to construct a miniature theater-like scenario in his mind.
In it, Gongsun Ce approached with a one-piece swimsuit, and then…
Whatever he said, he could only foresee himself being blasted by the Qin Secret Skill.
The future was locked down.
Taking this event as a premise for simulation, it seed any scenario would only lead to a broken world line.
“I don’t know if the young lady likes it, but I know for sure I’ll get beaten up badly if I give it to her.”
Laughter ca from the other end of the phone.
“♪~”
“Are you humming songs to pretend you can’t hear ?
Are you a codic character from a last-century comic?”
“I~ can’t hear you ♪~”
And now you’re singing too, huh.
Gongsun Ce sighed deeply, “We were getting along just fine, what suddenly made you angry, Mr.
Gongsun?
What did I do?”
“Hmph!
I really thought Gongsun Ce was going to buy clothes.”
…?
The gray-haired youth pondered over their earlier conversation.
He pressed his palms together towards the phone and said, “…Sorry, my bad!”
Qiluo sounded even more exasperated than him.
“Ah.
Is Qin Qianbai often calling Gongsun Ce a fool?”
“How could that be.
When you’re not around, the young lady often expresses her admiration for my wisdom.”
Qiluo exclaid, “—Ah?!”
“You know, who else cos up with ideas in tough situations if not , Mr.
Gongsun?
Plus, she lacks common sense in certain areas, and it’s always who gets to enlighten her.
That’s why she often tells in private: Gongsun Ce, you’re amazing, thank goodness for you… like that.”
So, everything said before was the truth.
The pink-haired girl expressed in utter shock, “So, so that’s how it is…”
“No, just kidding.”
“It was a lie?!”
He had recently been easily caught lying by Qin Qianbai, but today he finally reclaid a bit of satisfaction.
Thinking back, Qiluo, this naive child, was simply the type most easily deceived.
Gongsun Ce secretly resolved to, from now on, tell more lies to build up her resistance to deception…
after he dealt with the problem at hand.
“Sorry, Qiluo!
I really didn’t an to cause a misunderstanding.
As an apology, I’ll buy you a gift.
So please, give a serious suggestion.”
“Ugh, wooah, the nerve of a man asking for advice after lying shalessly.” Qiluo muttered, “A serious suggestion would be: Gongsun Ce should just pick sothing he feels appropriate.
No pranks, choose sincerely.”
………?
Strange, he distinctly rembered his question was “What kind of clothes does Qin Qianbai like”.
Qiluo couldn’t have misrembered, so why such an irrelevant suggestion?
Qiluo was straightforward and wouldn’t hold a small misunderstanding against him, so what could be the reason…
could it be?!
Gongsun Ce trembled and said, “Qiluo, could it be that you’ve been bribed by the young lady?!”
The only other possibility he could think of was this.
Just like Kardesia scheming behind the scenes, Qiluo had joined the terrifying league of saboteurs early on!
“I don’t want to talk to an idiot anymore.”
“I’m very sorry for overthinking.”
“Oh dear, Qin Qianbai must often be upset…” Qiluo emphasized again: “Just honestly do as I said, Gongsun Ce, and absolutely don’t overthink it!
Rember to buy a gift, bye.”
The pink-haired girl hung up, and Gongsun Ce was baffled.
He sat on the toilet lid and pondered for a while, feeling that Qiluo wouldn’t really intend to trick him.
He guessed her suggestion was probably based on so logic only understood among girls, and as a normal male, it was understandable if he couldn’t quite grasp it.
The longer he dawdled, the more suspicious the young lady would get.
He had to hurry out.
To make it seem more believable, he washed his hands before stepping out of the restroom.
Qin Qianbai was waiting for him not far away.
“Ah Ce, you took longer in the restroom than I expected.”
“Sorry to keep you waiting…”
Gongsun Ce chuckled nervously, suddenly rembering that he had promised to help his friend buy a gift.
…But he had forgotten to ask Qiluo what she wanted.
“Gah!”
He could sowhat understand the feelings of Dust Explosion at the restaurant.
It turns out, people really do make sounds when caught off guard.
Qin Qianbai clapped her hands twice.
“Such a realistic duck sound, but even so, I’m not withdrawing the order.”
“You have to trust , Mr.
Gongsun can’t just flee the scene,” Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, sowhat awkwardly saying, “However…
I just realized I’m facing so unexpected difficulties, the kind that might be too tough to overco alone.
Could you help out, Miss Qin?”
Miss Qin looked up and said, “You see, this is a surprised expression.
What does Ah Ce want to ask?”
This ti, Gongsun Ce took the lesson from his call with Qiluo seriously.
Talking too much can lead to misunderstandings.
In situations like this, it’s vital to state your needs concisely and clearly.”
The gray-haired youth began to speak in a calm tone that would surely avoid any misunderstanding.
