Chapter 1475 - 1465: Qin Shaobing
"Brother Bing, you still don't trust me? Relax, I've personally tested this stuff. It's way more effective than those ads flying all over TV. I gave a woman half a dose, and that night she actually scared me a little for the first time!" Xiangzi said, eyes shining.
Qin Shaobing suddenly felt his mouth go dry. He swallowed, imagining Wu Yuanyuan completely naked in front of him tonight, letting him do whatever he wanted. Just thinking about it felt insanely good!
"Shaobing! They haven't left. I sent them to the gym in the back to play for a while. Now you can relax!" At this moment Liu Xinlan walked in. Before she even entered, her voice had already reached Qin Shaobing and Xiangzi's ears!
Qin Shaobing immediately sprawled sideways on the sofa, held his breath so his handsome face slowly flushed, making him look like he'd drunk too much. His eyes turned a bit hazy, as if he might fall asleep at any moment!
"Since they haven't left, then I'll go see them myself once I sober up. Even though Yuanyuan treats me like that, I still care about her in here." Qin Shaobing mumbled on purpose, as if slurring his words!
Just now he'd sent Liu Xinlan out to see whether Lin Chuan and Wu Yuanyuan had left the club. If the two of them were gone, his little performance would be ruined. Plus, once Liu Xinlan went out, Qin Shaobing could take the chance to ask Xiangzi a few things!
"Alright, I'll pour you a glass of water first. Sober up a bit before you say anything else. If you can't handle that much alcohol, don't show off. If something happens from drinking too much, that'll be a real mess!" Liu Xinlan sighed helplessly, picked up a glass from the coffee table in front of her, and walked to the water dispenser to pour water for Qin Shaobing.
Xiangzi had already hidden that packet of stuff before Liu Xinlan came in. He glanced back at Qin Shaobing, and the two exchanged a look. Only then did Xiangzi deliberately say, "Sister Hui, you stay here and look after Brother Bing. I'll go check on the other classmates."
After speaking, without waiting for Liu Xinlan's response, Xiangzi quickly walked out of the room!
Lin Chuan and Wu Yuanyuan went to the rear of the second floor of the club. After walking down a long corridor, the first room they entered was a fairly large gym, fully equipped with all kinds of sports gear.
Inside, a few male and female students were working out on different machines. Especially the women—every time their bodies moved, their chests trembled, which in turn made the hearts of all the guys watching them clench, Lin Chuan included!
"Had enough yet? Am I, this great beauty by your side, still not enough for you? Looks like men really are into the new and bored with the old." Wu Yuanyuan followed Lin Chuan's gaze and saw those female classmates flaunting their cleavage, and said with some irritation.
Lin Chuan smiled faintly, then turned back to her with a serious face. "Remember this: I always treat all women equally. If you're willing to give me a private strip show, I promise I'll watch you more seriously than I watched them."
"I'm afraid I'd blind you." Wu Yuanyuan poked twice at Lin Chuan's eyes with her fingers, then said solemnly, "There's a bowling alley over there. Let's go play for a bit."
Lin Chuan had come with Wu Yuanyuan, so naturally wherever she went, he went. He followed her forward for a short while and arrived at the door of another room.
When Lin Chuan opened the door, there were already several men and women inside, chatting and laughing as they cheered on a pretty girl who was bowling. She must've just thrown a beautiful ball.
As soon as Lin Chuan and Wu Yuanyuan walked in, they immediately drew everyone's attention. The crowd gave them strange looks; after all, tonight the two of them were the biggest focus.
Among the people here tonight, besides Wu Yuanyuan's classmates, there were quite a few who were meeting even Wu Yuanyuan for the first time, probably some friends from Qin Shaobing's other circles. But even among Wu Yuanyuan's classmates, aside from Liu Xinlan, she hardly had anyone she really got along with.
So when Wu Yuanyuan felt their eyes on her, she didn't get angry. She simply walked straight in with Lin Chuan.
A pretty female staff member came up to Wu Yuanyuan, smiling sweetly and asking softly, "Miss Wu, would you like to play a few frames tonight?"
"Take us to change shoes first," Wu Yuanyuan replied calmly.
The staff member smiled and agreed, then led Wu Yuanyuan and Lin Chuan to the shoe-changing area.
It was Lin Chuan's first time playing this kind of game. He'd only ever seen people play it on TV. He hadn't expected that you even had to change shoes for it—must be to prevent slipping and getting hurt.
After changing into bowling shoes, and under the guidance of the pretty staff member, the two of them went to an empty lane.
Lin Chuan had never played bowling, but from what he'd seen on TV, it didn't seem that hard.
"It's really simple. You hold the ball like this, walk a few quick steps, and then release. If you're good, all ten pins will fall. Even if there's one or two left standing, it's fine, you get to throw again. Though that second shot is a bit trickier."
Wu Yuanyuan could tell Lin Chuan hadn't played this sport before, so she gave him a rundown. Then she picked up a ball, quickly took four big steps forward, keeping her right hand balanced. At the moment her body stopped moving forward, her upper body leaned in and the ball in her right hand rolled out, gliding straight ahead. The whole motion was smooth in one go!
"Bang…!" With the sound of pins being struck, the neat row of pins collapsed in response. Nine pins in total were knocked down!
"Hee hee, how was that, not bad, right?" After finishing a roll, Wu Yuanyuan jogged over to Lin Chuan's side, slapped his shoulder, and asked with a grin!
"There's still one pin standing." Lin Chuan was speechless at Wu Yuanyuan's confidence. Now this was what you called cocky.
Wu Yuanyuan pouted and argued, "What do you know? Look at how the others play, they're not even as good as me. I still have one more roll, okay? And there's only one pin left. This is totally normal!"
With that, Wu Yuanyuan picked up another ball and, copying her previous movements, quickly took a few steps, stretched her right arm forward to keep balance, and tossed the bowling ball down the lane!
This ball hit that last pin dead-on!
"Convinced now? You should know, hitting one single pin is way harder than hitting ten!" Wu Yuanyuan said, a little show-offy!
Lin Chuan was honestly at a loss for words. He ignored what Wu Yuanyuan said, picked up a bowling ball, and did exactly what she had just done. When he released the ball, Wu Yuanyuan's eyes followed it as it rolled, widening more and more!
"Bang, clatter!"
After a burst of noise, all ten pins toppled over. A smug smile appeared on Lin Chuan's face. He clapped his hands and walked back to his spot!
"I'm finding you more and more of a stranger. I'm sure this is your first time playing, so how can you get such a good score? You're making us regular players who come here all the time feel seriously ashamed!" Wu Yuanyuan was so shocked she could barely talk. She stared blankly for a while before finally praising him from the bottom of her heart!
Just then, a crisp round of applause sounded from the entrance of the hall, followed by a man's hearty laughter!
Hearing that voice, the cheerful look on Wu Yuanyuan's face instantly clouded over. She knew that person she hated was here again!
Lin Chuan also frowned slightly. He didn't even need to guess—just from the laugh he could tell it was Qin Shaobing. Had he really still not given up and come here to embarrass himself again?
"Wonderful, really wonderful. I didn't expect Wu Yuanyuan to find herself such a talented, versatile boyfriend. Truly something worth celebrating!" Qin Shaobing said as he walked up to the two of them. Behind him, only Liu Xinlan followed, her expression a bit worried!
"Hmph, didn't expect you to sober up this fast. All right, I won't waste words. Now that you're awake, let's settle that bet from just now!" Wu Yuanyuan snorted coldly. If it weren't to clear this matter up, she honestly wouldn't want to stay around him for even one more minute!
Qin Shaobing's face stiffened for a moment, but with so many people around he didn't say anything. He immediately put on a smile again and said rather eagerly, "Yuanyuan, we're classmates after all, and I really did shoot my mouth off just now. Just forgive me this once, okay? I'm here to apologize to you, aren't I?"
"No. You have to honor your promise. From now on, if I don't take the initiative to talk to you, you're not allowed to come bother me. Otherwise you're a petty man who doesn't keep his word!" Wu Yuanyuan glared, cheeks puffed in anger.
"Yuanyuan!" Liu Xinlan couldn't quite bear to watch anymore. After all, both of them were important to her. Now that the two were at odds, she really didn't know which side to persuade.
In fact, deep down, Liu Xinlan actually kind of wanted Qin Shaobing and Wu Yuanyuan to cut ties. That way, she would have a chance to be with Qin Shaobing. Even if they really did end up together someday, it wouldn't count as stealing her friend's boyfriend!
"Sister Hui, don't butt in. Everyone here can testify. Qin Shaobing lost, so he has to accept the penalty!" Wu Yuanyuan cut Liu Xinlan off, leaving no room for argument!
Liu Xinlan was caught in the middle and, with no other choice, could only look to Lin Chuan for help!
Lin Chuan gave a wry smile. He hadn't provoked anyone—why were they looking at him? He shrugged to show there was nothing he could do!
"I lost the match just now and agreed to call you 'big brother.' Now, in front of all these classmates and friends, I'll officially call you—Big Brother!" Qin Shaobing suddenly turned to Lin Chuan and said earnestly, even giving a slight bow to show his respect!
Lin Chuan was caught a bit off guard by Qin Shaobing's move. He hadn't taken those words before the match seriously at all. He never expected this always-arrogant, playboy rich kid to actually be willing to bend his back and call him Big Brother!
After carefully watching Qin Shaobing's expression and behavior, Lin Chuan didn't spot any sign of resentment!
"You'd better take back that 'big brother.' I'm just an ordinary guy; I really can't shoulder that title." Lin Chuan said half-jokingly, though what he was really thinking was: "I've never been interested in having a loser like you as my little brother."
Qin Shaobing didn't take Lin Chuan's words to heart. Instead, he kept speaking humbly, then suddenly turned toward the entrance and shouted, "Xiangzi, get in here!"
