Chapter 1896 — We Have a Car
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Though it was a three-row vehicle, He Meiyue and Chai Xiaoling, the two girls, did not feel cramped sitting in the back row, while the front passenger seat was left for Wang Xinyan.
Wang Xinyan shook her head slightly and got in. It seemed these people had already decided that she and Wei Zhao were a couple.
Zhang Duopan and Fan Ganhe watched with dark expressions as Wei Zhao's car pulled out of the parking lot. In the end, the only ones left without a ride were the two of them.
At the school gate, Zhang Duopan and Fan Ganhe flagged down a taxi and hurried off toward the KTV.
By the time they arrived, however, He Meiyue had already started singing. As ill luck would have it, the two of them were in the middle of a duet—a love song! That song was originally sung by Xu Shilan together with her teacher, so naturally no one would read anything into it. But He Meiyue singing it with Bai Weituo carried a certain ambiguity.
Zhang Duopan watched with a sullen face as Bai Weituo, who sang rather well, stole the spotlight, and began to scheme. He had lost an enormous amount of face today, and had probably lost a good many impression points with He Meiyue. Winning this round back would likely take some effort.
In high school, Zhang Duopan had had no rivals. He had attended a key high school with strict discipline, and only wealthy self-funded students like him ever got up to any tricks; everyone else devoted themselves single-mindedly to their studies. University was different, though—here one could date in earnest, and neither the school nor the teachers would interfere.
To defeat Bai Weituo, he would have to bring out some real skills.
Wei Zhao sitting beside Wang Xinyan also grated on Fan Ganhe. He wanted to go over, but Chai Xiaoling sat on Wang Xinyan's other side, leaving him no opening at all.
"Brother Zhang, we need to come up with something!" Though Fan Ganhe was a sports recruit, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, his family had little money. He had gotten into Donghai Engineering University on athletic specialty, whereas Zhang Duopan was a self-funded student from a well-off family. Usually, when the two were together, Zhang paid, so Fan Ganhe willingly called him Brother Zhang.
"Damn it, some nobody has to come out of nowhere and ruin everything!" Zhang Duopan said bitterly, glaring at Bai Weituo.
"Not just that Bai Weituo—that Wei Zhao... the bastard's a real wolf in sheep's clothing, hiding his car and not saying a word, making you look bad, Brother Zhang!" Fan Ganhe wanted to pursue Wang Xinyan, so naturally he resented Wei Zhao.
"Here's the plan. You go out and order some beer. We'll use a drinking contest as an excuse and get them drunk. Best if we make them embarrass themselves and lose a few impression points!" Zhang Duopan said to Fan Ganhe.
"Got it!" Fan Ganhe agreed at once. In high school, drinking had been routine for the two of them; at restaurants they would down crate after crate. The two of them could easily put away a case of large beers.
Fan Ganhe left the private room, and after a while he came back hauling five cases of beer. The KTV's bottles were small, but five cases was absolutely no small amount.
Five cases of beer were nothing to a sports recruit like Fan Ganhe—he carried them straight in—but Zhao Shengji's and Song Xiaodao's expressions changed at once!
