Chapter 111 Money is hard to earn x food is hard to eat... Sister Cyanide is speechless...
The blond masked man remained silent. Pei Qing shoved him, and the shove caused him to collapse limply onto her.
Before Pei Qian could even pull up her pants, a golden head appeared on her leg.
This terrified her. Heaven knows, she only pushed the person and did nothing else. She really wasn't the murderer!
"Hey, what are you doing? Pretending to be unconscious? Have you been drinking? You reek of alcohol... Your friend is calling you over there, hurry up, can you get up? I'll ask your friend to pick you up..."
As Pei Qian spoke, she hurriedly pulled up her pants and was about to call for help. Then her belt was grabbed by a delicate hand, and her pants, which she had just pulled up, started to fall down.
"Hey, bro, could you loosen my belt first...?"
"No, don't shout... The people outside, the people outside aren't my friends... The people outside, they're not my friends..."
With her last ounce of strength, Ye Ling gripped the belt tightly, as if clutching a lifeline, her voice barely a whisper, "Please help me... I can give you star coins, lots and lots of star coins..."
"What do you mean we're not friends?" Pei Qing didn't want to get involved in this trouble at all, and without saying a word, she tried to push the door open and drag the person out.
"It's just a belt, isn't it? She can just throw it away, can't she?" Pei Qing's foot had just taken a habitual step when a key word suddenly flashed into her mind: Star Coins? Didn't this blond-haired masked man just say that helping him would get her a large sum of Star Coins?
"Trouble that can be paid for isn't really trouble," Pei Qing thought smugly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the restroom where Pei Qing was. "Hello, is anyone in there? Did my friend accidentally wander in? Could you open the door and bring him out?"
The mention of Coins instantly banished Pei Qing's sleepiness, and she immediately shouted, "What do you mean, 'your friend' or 'my friend'? There's no one here! Get lost, don't disturb me while I'm taking a dump!"
"But I clearly saw..." The poor student, unwilling to let the duck he had almost gotten fly away, knocked on the door a few more times.
"Get out of here! If I can't poop, go outside right now, rip your head off, and shove it down the toilet!"
Pei Qing shouted angrily, "If you don't leave, I'll go to the Student Affairs Office and tell them you're harassing a classmate who's taking a dump!" Of course, she was just using the situation as leverage; no matter how idle the Student Affairs Office was, they certainly wouldn't care about taking a dump.
"..." The person outside remained silent for a while, then stopped knocking.
About five minutes later, Pei Qing opened the door and found the bathroom empty.
She kicked the soft thing. "Hey, the person's gone, you can come out now. Oh, and the star coins you promised..."
When will you give it to me...? Pei Qing stared at the person who had already fainted with dead fish eyes, shut her mouth, and looked speechless.
Hearing that the danger had temporarily disappeared, Ye Ling couldn't hold on any longer and fainted, her head lolling to the side, still tightly clutching that innocent waistband.
Pei Qing was left alone, staring at the person who had fainted and was unconscious. A series of question marks flashed through her mind.
What on earth are they trying to do? Is it really that hard to earn money on the capital planet? Pei Qing is truly exasperated with these Celestial Dragons. And this guy, does he really like sleeping in the toilet? What kind of strange habit is that?
Left with no other choice, Pei Qing had to drag the person out of the restroom. She glanced at the empty corridor and then spotted the lounge next door.
Fine, fine, let's just throw them in the lounge.
...
Upstairs, Ye Ling's friend was happily eating a small cake when suddenly someone punched her shoulder hard. "Stop eating, you idiot! Where's Ye Ling? Have you seen her?!"
"Ye Ling? Ye Ling is right here..." The friend looked up and realized that Ye Ling hadn't returned. "Oh, don't worry, he probably went back first."
"Go back my ass!" Ling Rui cursed angrily, her long, wavy, sea-blue hair cascading down her back, her delicate face as cold as frost, and her eyes revealing undisguised anxiety.
“He’s not in the dorm,” Ling Rui took a deep breath to calm herself, and continued, “I’ve only been gone for a day, and this idiot has disappeared without a trace. Wasn’t he the one you brought to the social dance? Where is he now?”
"Wait, wait," his friend suddenly realized that Ye Ling seemed to have really disappeared. He tried to take out his personal terminal to make a call, but Tencent kept ringing without anyone answering. "He's not answering..."
"Don't bother," Ling Rui snatched his personal computer away. "When I got back to the dorm, I saw he wasn't there, so I called him, but he didn't answer. Could he have lost his personal computer?"
"Yeah, he's drunk, he probably doesn't know where he lost his personal terminal..." his friend said, scratching his head in frustration.
“You didn’t even follow Ye Ling when he was drunk. Forget it, the venue isn’t that big. Let’s split up and look for him. Contact each other if anything happens.” Ling Rui made a quick decision, tapped his personal terminal, and turned to walk downstairs.
"Okay, okay," the friend quickly replied, and began searching around the second floor.
It was nearly 11 p.m. by then, and most of the students had already gone back to their dormitories to rest. There were very few people left in the venue, and a quick glance around was enough to take in everyone's attire.
At this moment, Ling Rui had already come downstairs. He went to the restroom at the corner, frowned, and walked in, gently covering his nose.
Ye Ling might be in the toilet; perhaps his personal computer accidentally fell into the toilet while he was using it.
With that thought in mind, he opened one bathroom door after another.
The other restrooms were all normal, except for the last door in the second row. He opened the door, and a strong smell of alcohol wafted out, lingering even after he left.
Ling Rui covered his nose in disgust, then raised an eyebrow thoughtfully. The first floor wasn't the main venue, so the restrooms shouldn't be used by many people.
Moreover, only the last toilet in the entire restroom had such a strong smell of alcohol. Such a strong smell of alcohol could never be found unless one had been drinking all night at the venue.
It is highly likely that Ye Ling had been here and stayed in the bathroom for some reason, which is why she left such a strong smell.
Ling Rui turned to leave when suddenly a glittering silver object in the corner caught his attention.
He crouched down and picked it up, examining it under the light. It was because a buckle from his belt had been violently pulled off, with a few glittering strands of hair still attached to it.
Seeing this, Ling Rui was even more certain that Ye Ling had been here. Who else could have such flamboyant blond hair but him?
However, this clasp was definitely not Ye Ling's. The clasp was crudely made, and the edges were not rounded. There were no markings on it, and it wasn't from any well-known brand.
Could it be that criminals infiltrated the social gathering and kidnapped Ye Ling?
Ling Rui became increasingly convinced that his thinking was correct. He and Ye Ling had practically grown up together, playing games and complaining about their parents. Their families were very close, and he knew better than anyone how many times Ye Ling had been kidnapped.
Ling Rui had heard about the recent turmoil within the Ye family. If those people were desperate, what wouldn't they do? However, if it really was those people who did it, it also meant that Ye Ling was probably in an extremely dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, Ling Rui's expression grew even more serious, and he quickened his pace of searching.
"vomit!"
Ye Ling was leaning against the corner of the wall, and Pei Qing was helping him straighten up. Suddenly, the golden head tilted to the side and vomited out with a loud yelp.
"Damn it! Couldn't you have held it in a little longer?! You vomited all over my pocket! Damn it..." Pei Qing looked at his filthy body in a frenzy. At this moment, he really wanted to strangle this inexplicable blond man.
Ye Ling gradually regained consciousness, but unfortunately, he couldn't resist the urge to vomit. After all the commotion and jolting on the way, he now wished he could empty his stomach completely.
"I'm so sorry... I... I really can't hold it in anymore... Get out of the way, I'm going to vomit..." Ye Ling had only spoken halfway when the urge to vomit came over her again.
"Wait a minute... damn it!" Pei Qing couldn't hold back any longer and forcibly dragged the person into the bathroom of the lounge, turning on the shower with a swish.
The icy water slapped hard against Ye Ling's face. He was powerless to resist and could only let the water flow over him. After a while, his mind gradually cleared, and he was able to speak normally again.
Ye Ling struggled to sit up and gently tugged at the handkerchief of woman A, who was washing up.
Pei Qian couldn't stand being vomited on. She hadn't drunk much, but she was covered in the smell of alcohol and felt nauseous. She took a quick shower and put on a bathrobe.
After washing up, Pei Qing felt refreshed. She slapped away the hand that was tugging at her bathrobe and said fiercely, "What are you doing? Don't move around! What if you throw up again?! You threw up all over me, and I'm telling you, you'll have to pay extra. We can't do this without 100,000 star coins!"
"Don't worry, since you kept your promise and saved me, I will definitely give you the star coins. But could you please take out my personal computer first? I need to make a call to my friend, otherwise he'll be worried."
Ye Ling lay weakly in the bathtub, his blond hair plastered to his face in wet strands. This rare weakness made him quiet, his demeanor serene, like a noble young man in a classical oil painting.
"Tsk, what a hassle. I should have known better than to be greedy for those star coins. All this effort would have been much more pleasant than going back to the dorm and taking a nap..." Pei Qing muttered as she pulled her personal terminal out of Ye Ling's pocket.
Ye Ling fiddled with it for a while, but found that the computer didn't respond at all. He turned it over and saw that there was a deep crack in the outer shell of the computer. Water had seeped into the internal components. With both damage and water ingress, the computer was probably unusable.
"Um," Ye Ling smiled awkwardly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said shyly, "Could you lend me your personal computer again? Mine is broken, and I can't contact my friends..."
"No, why are you making such a fuss?!"
Pei Qing was annoyed by him so much that she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest, intending to stay for a while before leaving. Hearing him say that, she took out her personal terminal and casually tossed it at him.
The moment she raised her hand, she suddenly realized that her chat history with Feng Lin was still there. What if he had ulterior motives? No, no, it would be better to call him herself.
Pei Qing's eyes darted around, and she said in an annoyed tone, "Give me your friend's contact number, and I'll call him for you."
"Oh, okay." Ye Ling scratched her head and readily agreed, since it didn't make a difference anyway.
"The communication ID is 1..."
"Ye Ling! What are you doing here?! Who is this?!"
The door to the lounge was pushed open forcefully, followed by an anxious call.
