“Here, these are clothes I’m lending you. Change and leave quickly. I can’t let you sleep here.”
Qv Si Nan had completely lost interest in this girl.
Honestly, the feeling of getting turned on only to be interrupted each time was pure torture.
She was afraid that if she started getting excited at night, Jiang Yin would suddenly blurt out, “You sound like a cartoon rooster crowing,” right as she was in the mood.
She firmly believed this sharp-tongued little brat was absolutely capable of pulling such a stunt!
“Why are you suddenly kicking me out?”
Jiang Yin looked suspiciously at the clothes she pulled out, thought for a moment, then suddenly understood.
“Your girlfriend’s coming over tonight?”
“So bold. Are you planning a threesome?”
“Get lost!”
Qv Si Nan lost all her strength and composure in an instant, slumping onto the bed with one hand on her forehead.
Her voice was miserable, even trembling, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.
“Please, just let me be quiet for a while.”
The room fell silent.
Qv Si Nan squinted at the ceiling light, zoning out.
She let her emotions flow from her heart through her veins, reaching every corner of her body.
Her eyes grew slightly moist.
She thought Jiang Yin was going to leave.
That way, she could heal her pain with her tears alone.
Until the sound of the refrigerator door closing suddenly echoed in the room, and the cold touch of an aluminum can on her neck made her heart jolt.
“What the hell are you…!”
She flung out her arm, angry and annoyed, snapping her eyes open—only to see the white-haired girl grinning at her with two cans of Beer.
Beautiful.
So beautiful.
Gentle, but not in a girlish way—more like a warmth born out of genuine concern for a friend, with no other intention.
The smile at the corner of her mouth was a little wicked.
“What’s wrong? Why so jumpy? Did you get dumped?”
“Do you have any sense of boundaries at all? Why are you just raiding my fridge?”
Qv Si Nan complained as she sat up, casually picking up the Beer can that had fallen onto the bed.
She pulled the tab and gulped down a big mouthful.
“Weren’t you scared just a while ago? Now you’re bold enough to drink in my house with me?”
“If I get you drunk, problem solved.”
Jiang Yin also pulled open a tab and took a long drink.
“I refuse to believe you can still have your head filled with dirty thoughts after blacking out.”
“And besides…”
She looked at Qv Si Nan, hair messy and eyes tinged red, looking a bit disheveled, and grinned mischievously.
“Even in this state, you’re still thinking about groping people?”
“You’re such a jerk. Who goes straight for the jugular like that?!”
The two of them clinked cans in silent agreement and took another drink.
“So are you trying to comfort me or roast me?”
“Both.”
Jiang Yin dragged over a little stool and sat beside the bed.
“So? What happened? Talk. It gets better if you talk.”
“What else? We broke up.”
Qv Si Nan pouted indifferently.
“It was never going to last anyway.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Yin was intrigued.
“Details!”
“Her family is arranging a blind date for her. With a man.”
“…”
Jiang Yin hadn’t considered this as a possible breakup reason.
The harsh reality left her momentarily speechless.
“You aluminum lovers are hardcore. She can accept men?”
“Yeah. She’s bi after all. And since she can’t refuse the family’s marriage arrangement, useless trash like me just gets swept aside.”
“Hahahahahahaha, you’re so pathetic.”
“Hahahahahaha, yeah, pretty pathetic.”
Jiang Yin’s laughter was mocking, while Qv Si Nan’s was full of resignation.
There was nothing left to say.
It was a doomed relationship from the start.
A clean ending was probably for the best.
Better than being ‘hole brothers’ with some guy. The very thought was disgusting.
“With your looks, landing a rich little lady should be easy. If it doesn’t work out, just go for the next one.”
“Easier said than done. Someone you genuinely like isn’t that easy to find…”
Qv Si Nan pouted, her gaze slowly shifting to Jiang Yin.
This one was attractive. This one she genuinely liked.
“I’m broke. My savings are 137,482.65 yuan!”
“Forget it, then.”
“You totally deserved to get dumped.”
“Right back at you. Still single at your age—you had it coming.”
The two continued drinking, one bottle after another.
Qv Si Nan was a bartender by trade, her tolerance honed over countless nights.
Jiang Yin, an unawakened Magical Girl, found the Beer’s alcohol barely stronger than her metabolism.
They drank and talked, covering every topic except love.
Time flew by, and when they reached for more, they found the fridge empty.
“Why do you stock so little?”
Jiang Yin clicked her tongue, feeling unsatisfied.
“I’ll order two more cases from delivery.”
Qv Si Nan hadn’t had her fill either.
It was rare to meet someone eye-catching, with matching vibes, and who could hold their drink.
She didn’t want this magical night to end so soon.
With a grand gesture, she whipped out her phone and placed an order.
“Then let’s sip what’s left for now.”
Jiang Yin shook her Beer can.
It felt like half a can remained.
She considered for a moment, then picked up all the neatly lined-up cans from the floor, pouring out the remaining drops.
There wasn’t much left in each, maybe a mouthful at most, but together, it added up.
Once she finished her own, she reached over for Qv Si Nan’s cans, shaking them instinctively—clear water-like sounds sloshed inside.
Qv Si Nan: “……”
The air instantly went silent.
Jiang Yin: “(á—œ Ë° á—œ)”
Before Qv Si Nan could react, Jiang Yin had snatched up all her “finished” Beer cans, checking each one and eventually squeezing out enough for three full cans.
—Between them, they’d only had about a dozen each.
The girl looked at the overflowing three cans of Beer, then at Qv Si Nan, who sat slouched with her head down, guilt painted red up to her ears.
Suddenly, it all made sense.
Her voice dropped, heavy with icy sarcasm.
“Your sister here drinks with you out of kindness, and this is how you try to make her spray Beer everywhere…”
“I’ll drink! I’ll drink it, okay?!”
Busted, Qv Si Nan couldn’t hold it in anymore.
She grabbed the Beer from Jiang Yin’s hand and chugged it down in big gulps!
“One can!”
“Two cans!”
“Three cans!”
“Fine! Now I don’t owe you anymore!”
“Good! You’re a real one, brother!”
Jiang Yin applauded.
Stealing Beer was one thing. Trying to pull dirty tricks was another.
But as long as the stolen drinks were paid back, they could still be good bros!
“Ding dong~”
“Hm? As expected of the City Center—the delivery speed is insane.”
Hearing the doorbell, Jiang Yin jumped up and dashed to the door.
She didn’t even bother looking through the peephole, just opened the door.
Standing outside was a beautiful young lady, about 1.65 meters tall, dressed in a pale yellow Lolita dress with delicate makeup, blonde hair, and black eyes.
Jiang Yin looked her up and down, brain momentarily frozen.
“Miss, you run deliveries dressed like this? Are all MeX delivery uniforms yellow now? By the way, where’s the alcohol?”
“What alcohol?”
There was a hint of chill in the woman’s tone as she stared at the pajamas Jiang Yin wore—ones she herself had carefully chosen for her.
She looked at the delicate collarbone peeking out from the oversized neckline, then entered, stepping past Jiang Yin.
Her eyes landed on the Beer cans scattered across the floor and on Qv Si Nan, frozen on the bed.
Her lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.
“Well, well, Qv Si Nan.”
“You sure moved on fast. I broke up with you this afternoon, and you bring someone home at night?!”
“?!”
Jiang Yin finally realized what was happening.
She glanced at the girl dressed like a cute little princess but carrying the aura of a queen, then at Qv Si Nan, who looked like a tough sister type but sat guiltily like a child caught doing something bad.
Suddenly, everything clicked.
“So this is your ex-girlfriend—the one about to be set up with a man?”
Instantly, the air in the entire room turned icy cold.
