Li Huanhuan, 26 years old, is just a passerby in a book. She meets the protagonist at a blind date.
Qin Shi is the male protagonist of the book—a genius esports player, super popular, broad...
Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Threesome.
The next day.
The weather is getting cooler. Li Huanhuan was wearing a thin off-white sweatshirt on top and a half-length skirt with a black gauze surface dotted with gold powder and a bright yellow-green lining. The length of the skirt reached her calves, and on her feet she wore a pair of early autumn black short boots.
It looks more casual and suitable for birthday parties.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Li Huanhuan asked for the third time while looking at Qin Shi who was blocking her door early in the morning.
"Of course. Why do you keep asking me? Don't you want me to go with you?" Qin Shi looked at me sideways with a faint expression.
He was wearing a grey hoodie on top, black sweatpants, and black boots underneath. He was wearing sunglasses and had a look of "keep away from strangers", which made him look cool.
If it weren't for the leg in plaster, he could have gone to the party.
Li Huanhuan pursed his lips and looked at his attire: "Then you..."
I always feel that Qin Shi's outfit looks weird, as if he was deliberately imitating what she was wearing. Li also fantasized about suggesting that he go back and change his clothes.
"What's wrong with me?"
The eyebrows behind the sunglasses were slightly raised, looking very cold and ruthless, "Li Huanhuan, are you not leaving yet? Or are you not going to go? If you are not going, I will fully support you."
As he spoke the last part, he could no longer pretend to be cool, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
“…”
Li Huanhuan, "No, I will go."
It's really too late.
As a otaku, Li Huanhuan used his remaining fashion sense to finally put together an outfit suitable for going out, but at this point, he didn't want to change it.
That's it.
"Let's go." Li Huanhuan picked up her bag and cell phone.
Qin Shi used crutches to get up from the wall he was leaning against and moved to the wheelchair next to him. He curled his lips, obviously not satisfied with Li Huanhuan's answer.
Even though it was an electric wheelchair, Li Huanhuan still pushed him downstairs.
They arrived at the parking lot on the underground first floor.
Because the place was a bit far, Qin Shi suggested that Li Huanhuan drive his car there today.
"You have a driver's license, right?" Qin Shi asked her.
"Yes." Li Huanhuan paused, his smile a little forced, "But I haven't driven much since I got my driver's license."
This is nature.
In their family, only stepfather Uncle Liu has a car. When her mother Su Mei lived with Uncle Liu in the city, Uncle Liu took her for a drive in his own car for a while. Occasionally, Li Huanhuan also drove alone. But ever since Uncle Liu and her mother moved to the suburbs, Li Huanhuan has never touched a car again.
Her mother did mention whether she should buy one for her.
Li Huanhuan refused.
Firstly, transportation in City C is convenient and one can take a bus to go everywhere; secondly, she is too much of a homebody and often does not go out for ten days or half a month. I bought a car, but it just sat there collecting dust in the parking lot.
"It doesn't matter, just drive it past it. Isn't this returning it to me?" Qin Shi was very confident in her.
"...Okay." Li Huanhuan said reluctantly.
She helped put Qin Shi's wheelchair into the car.
Then, she sat in the driver's seat and Qin Shi sat in the passenger seat. Then, she clicked on the address Canyang sent her, followed the navigation, and carefully drove out of the community parking lot.
Li Huanhuan thought that it would seem unfamiliar since it had not been opened for a long time. Unexpectedly, the journey was relatively smooth. In addition to her own extra caution, Qin Shi's encouragement also played a role.
I thought that an "old driver" like this, who sits in the passenger seat, likes to curse people, and Qin Shi usually has a bit of a sharp tongue. Li Huanhuan was ready, and he would complain about her preparations along the way. Who would have thought that I would receive encouragement, including but not limited to:
“Not bad.”
"Li Huanhuan, aren't you driving steadily?"
“It’s smooth and stable, just like an experienced driver.”
"Yes, we need to change lanes ahead."
…
Although he didn't say it, Li Huanhuan felt relieved after the experience. The fear of driving deep in my heart gradually faded.
The place where Zhang Canyang celebrated his birthday today is in the old city area of City C.
City C has developed rapidly in recent years. In just over ten years, it has quickly built an international new urban area. But when it comes to the city's bustling atmosphere, the old city has more fireworks.
The place we had dinner today was a restaurant in a renovated abandoned factory in the old city. The roads here are narrow and crowded, so it's difficult for cars to drive in. Li Huanhuan parked the car in a nearby parking lot. Qin Shi was sitting in a wheelchair with an eight-inch mousse cake in his arms.
This was ordered by Li Huanhuan online yesterday.
On the way to the restaurant, she stopped by to pick it up. The cake shop is a long-established one, the taste is delicious, and you can smell the rich and tempting milky aroma through the packaging box.
"Why did Fox book such a place? The road is too difficult to travel on." Qin Shi frowned and began to find fault.
The sunglasses on his face made him look ruthless.
"The food here tastes good." Li Huanhuan tried to smooth things over awkwardly.
Qin Shi didn't know that her family lived nearby when she was a child. It was later, after her father passed away, that she and her mother moved to a new home. This area has a different feeling for Li Huanhuan.
"Sister! Here!"
A familiar voice came from the front.
Li Huanhuan raised her head and saw Zhang Canyang with golden hair, standing in front of a Chinese restaurant, waving at her happily.
He was wearing a formal black suit today, with a white shirt and tie underneath, looking young and handsome.
"Heh." When Li Huanhuan was fascinated by the scene, a sneer came from the wheelchair in front of him.
Li Huanhuan came back to his senses from his trance, then smiled again and pushed Qin Shi towards Zhang Canyang.
"Canyang, you're already here."
Li Huanhuan came to Zhang Canyang and said, "Happy birthday to you."
As he said that, he took the birthday cake from Qin Shi's arms and handed it to Zhang Canyang.
"Thank you, sister." Zhang Canyang took the cake happily.
Li Huanhuan saw that he was happy and couldn't help laughing.
Then he poked Qin Shi's shoulder again. Qin Shi rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses and turned his head away unhappily. Li Huanhuan had no choice but to manually take out a palm-sized gift box from Qin Shi's sweatshirt pocket and handed it to Zhang Canyang with a smile: "Canyang, this is Qin Shi's birthday gift for you."
Zhang Canyang was stunned for a moment.
His gaze moved from the gift box in Li Huanhuan's palm to Qin Shi, as if he had just realized that there was another person in front of him.
Soon, Zhang Canyang noticed that Qin Shi’s outfit was similar to Li Huanhuan’s, and they looked like a couple’s outfit. The smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes turned cold: "See, who was it? Turns out it's our big star Star."
Qin Shi turned his head, noticed his gaze, and raised the corners of his mouth. In a place where Li Huanhuan couldn't see, he silently said three words: Be envious.
Zhang Canyang's face immediately turned gloomy.
Qin Shi looked back unwillingly.
The war between the two people is about to break out.
The atmosphere was tense. Just when Li Huanhuan was worried that the two would start fighting over a disagreement, Zhang Canyang reached out and took the small gift box with a bow tied on it from her palm.
"Thank you, Star." He grinned and smiled brightly at Qin Shi.
"It's disgusting." Qin Shi said, suppressing his anger.
"Same here." Zhang Canyang said with a smile.
"Haha, Canyang, Qin Shi, let's find a place to sit first. It's not good to block the door like this." Seeing this, Li Huanhuan quickly laughed dryly and continued to smooth things over.
Zhang Canyang immediately retracted his gaze and gave Li Huanhuan a sunny, pure smile: "Sister is right."
Today is the weekend and there are a lot of people. They arrived late and there were no seats inside, so they found a seat outside. Fortunately, there is a small square in front of the store, and all the restaurants nearby are arranged like this. The weather is nice today, neither too cold nor too hot, with a few dark clouds overhead, so it's just right for eating outside.
Then, the three of them sat down.
Li Huanhuan sat in the middle of the square wooden table, with Qin Shi and Zhang Canyang sitting on either side of her. They could see each other as soon as they looked up.
When the boss came over, Li Huanhuan realized why Zhang Canyang chose this restaurant.
"The one that used to be in Fountain Square?"
After the restaurant owner left, Li Huanhuan turned his head and looked at Zhang Canyang in surprise.
Zhang Canyang smiled and nodded: "Sister still remembers it."
"Of course I remember."
Li Huanhuan said, "When I was young, their family business was pretty good, and the food in the restaurant was delicious. I went back to look for them two years ago, but who would have thought they would move here."
The store looks a lot bigger than it was a decade ago, so I guess the restaurant owner has been doing well these days.
"When I booked this place, I knew my sister would definitely remember it."
Zhang Canyang said, "I still remember the first time I went to this restaurant to eat, it was my sister who took me there."
"Yeah, I remember that too. No one was at home that weekend, so..."
Reminded of Zhang Canyang's words, Li Huanhuan couldn't help but recall his childhood scenes, and he couldn't help but talk more.
More attention was paid to Canyang, and for a moment, no attention was paid to Qin Shi who was sitting next to him.
Qin Shi hugged his shoulders, leaned back in his chair, and squinted at Zhang Canyang who was sitting opposite him.
Zhang Canyang noticed his gaze and raised his eyebrows at him provocatively.
"Li Huanhuan." Qin Shi suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Li Huanhuan, who was reminiscing about the past, stopped, turned his head and looked at him inquiringly.
"I want to drink beer." Qin Shi.
"Ah?" Li Huanhuan was stunned.
Qin Shi, wearing sunglasses, turned his head calmly and said to Li Huanhuan: "Li Huanhuan, I want to drink beer. Go buy it for me."
“This one…”
"Not this one. I bought it at a supermarket on the way here." Qin Shi.
"But the doctor said you can't drink."
Li Huanhuan looked at his leg and said, "It will affect the healing of the wound."
After being rejected, Qin Shi was not sad at all. Instead, he curled his lips and looked very happy: "Li Huanhuan, it seems that you care about me a lot. You can even remember what the doctor said for me."
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Zhang Canyang.
"Uh..." Li Huanhuan hesitated to speak.
What's going on in Qin Shi?
Isn’t it common sense that you shouldn’t drink alcohol when you are sick? Besides, every time he went to see the doctor, she stood outside the door. It was the nurse hired by Qin Shi who accompanied him in, and she had no idea what the doctor said to him.
Weird.
The smile on Zhang Canyang's face faded.
Qin Shi retracted his gaze and continued, "Then I want ice cream. Strawberry flavor."
Li Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed because he lent her the car today: "Okay, I'll buy it for you."
When he stood up, he asked Zhang Canyang opposite him what he wanted to eat. She bought it along with it.
Zhang Canyang raised his head with a pure smile: "Sister, I want the beer that Star just mentioned."
On the opposite side, Qin Shi’s smile disappeared.
