Posting this photo on the forum will definitely get a lot of comnts.”
“So, don’t do it!”
Gongsun Ce quickly reached out, but the girl swiftly retracted her phone, her movents cautious like a hamster hiding grains.
There was no ti to explain the situation to Alice beside him.
Now, here, if he didn’t think of sothing fast, Gongsun Ce’s good reputation would be ruined!
Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, cald himself, and said with all his might in a composed deanor, “Miss, calm down.
I don’t know what you’ve misunderstood…”
“No need to explain, Ah Ce, even I didn’t expect you to be hiding such a side.
This is no longer a topic of discussion among friends, but a more serious and aningful social issue.
I think it’s only sensible to let everyone who loves to flaunt their literary skills on the forum discuss it.”
“What kind of misunderstanding must you have to say such a thing!”
Qin Qianbai wiped the sweat from his face with a napkin.
“Do you want , feeling complex emotions, to explain?”
“What’s so complex about this?!
Did I do sothing terribly embarrassing?!”
Alice decided not to participate in the conversation between the two, and anwhile, she was already ordering from the boss with a mischievous smile.
Qin Qianbai, hand on chin as if after a heavy contemplation and with a blank expression, began, “Well, Ah Ce, listen.
The student who was supposed to attend classes this afternoon skipped them to have fast food with us, and then went ho as if nothing had happened.
I thought it was because he was unwell, but then I saw him dining with a suspicious-looking elder socialite in a ran shop a few districts away from his ho.”
Alice scread untily, “Wait, who is the suspicious-looking elder socialite?”
Miss Qin punched her hand.
“He, usually a good student, would skip school for this; it really makes feel uneasy.
Don’t worry, though I won’t keep your secret, I also won’t distance myself from you, whether you go to a suspicious hotel, a strange alley, or into a warehouse that resembles an illegal construction, I won’t interfere.”
No way.
Even though he wanted to say sothing like before, now he had no energy left.
“Hey, do I look like a suspicious person?!”
Alice yelled urgently, and the girl sitting a seat away nodded continuously, “Yes.”
Thump!
Gongsun Ce slumped onto the bar counter, the dull sound interrupting the idiots’ conversation.
He slowly raised his right arm like a zombie, pointing at the girl on the right.
“Miss, you…”
The miss tilted her head, “?”
Gongsun Ce suddenly raised his head, “You should read fewer adult magazines!
I, being a man, could never encounter such things; don’t bring the ridiculous plots from those magazines into real life!”
“I’m not interested in that stuff.” Qin Qianbai crossed his arms into an “X”.
“Stop lying, then from where did you hear about these?”
“Kardesia ntioned them when chatting with .”
“That damnable hatted woman!”
Are there really college students nowadays who would discuss pornography with female classmates?
The more he thought about it, the more he believed that the blonde-haired, hatted woman was capable of such things, what a world!
Poor Gongsun Ce resolved that once this matter was settled, he’d go find Mr.
Shiyu to complain.
Qin Qianbai held up his bowl, gulping down the noodle soup, showing no intention of self-reflection.
“Anyway, I was rely assisting this stranger I just t this afternoon out of basic responsibility.
Simply put, it’s the action of a helpful good young man.
Do you understand now?”
Qin Qianbai put down his bowl, carefully wiped his mouth, and said, “Then I won’t post it on the forum.”
“Don’t make it sound like you are making a great concession out of sothing so obvious.”
“It sounds just as strange.
Ah Ce, what you want to do is your freedom, but…”
Qin Qianbai looked into his eyes.
“Before you help others, maybe you should sort out your own issues first?”
After leaving these words, Miss Qin said goodbye and left the noodle shop.

The skilled chef did not let the patrons wait too long; Gongsun Ce’s dinner was served in less than five minutes.
In the large black bowl, fried garlic was placed at the bottom, followed by a small spoonful of special soy sauce, then a big ladle of broth was poured down, activating the fragrance of garlic and oil in the steam.
The prepared ran was quickly added, rapidly stirred in the soup, colored with garnishes of greens, nori, and soft-boiled egg, with a large piece of oil tofu topping it—having just fought such a battle, Gongsun Ce didn’t feel like eating at.
He took the large bowl, took a bite of noodles, and then a bite of tofu.
The oil and broth’s aroma enveloped the noodles, and the soup soaked into the tofu exploded in his mouth, incredibly satisfying.
This kind of high-calorie food, heavy on oil and salt, was always popular in the city: using superpower drained physical strength, hence superpower users always had a big appetite.
“Whew…”
Gongsun Ce sighed contentedly, ready to quickly finish his dinner when he felt a subtle jolt on his arm.
Alice poked him with her elbow, her face full of a gossipy smile, “Girlfriend~?”
“If I had a girlfriend, why would I be eating ran here with you.”
