Chapter 54: Misery Loves Company

  Chapter Fifty-Four: Misery Loves Company

  Qin Qing looked around in dismay, feeling lost and forlorn. At this moment, he really wished to share with her the sweetness of being together after the music had stopped and the crowd had dispersed.

  "How are you standing here all alone?" The sudden voice of the girl made Qin Qing turn his head in surprise, it was Sang Hong, she's back!

  When he finally looked clearly at the person in front of him and saw that it was Ouyang Mengmeng, the irrepressible sense of loss made Qin Qing's disgust suddenly apparent.

  "Nothing, just a bit tired, getting some fresh air, and then I'll be back." Qin Qing's words were brief and emotionless.

  Ouyang Mengmeng was also very perceptive, and could tell from his tone that he was feeling lost and indifferent. She immediately covered up her jealousy and said with a sour tone: "You're not waiting for some girl, are you?"

  Looking around casually, pretending not to notice what he was doing standing there, but actually being very clear about it in her heart, the girl walked away without looking back. Was he standing here waiting for that cheap woman?

  Thinking of this, she gritted her silver teeth in hatred. Sang Hong stole the show tonight, and what made her even more hateful and jealous was that Sang Hong could stand by Qin Qing's side tonight, gazing lovingly at each other.

  Last year, the one standing next to Qin Qing was her. This year, no matter how hard she protested, Qin Qing refused, saying they were both sophomores and the welcoming party must have at least one freshman host, besides, this had been settled long ago, involving a serious bet, which couldn't be changed.

  Why didn't she think of such a counterattack last year?

  Let Shang Hong take all the limelight, let her play a male role, it's absolutely much better than Shang Hong's appearance.

  A night of laughter and cheers, how many times she had held back the tears that welled up in her eyes, the girl standing beside Qin Qing should be herself...

  She had already checked San Hong's file, with a simple background and humble origins. None of her three generations had any military connections, it was really incomprehensible how such a girl could squeeze into such a prestigious university.

  Qin Qing looked at the gradually quieting campus and thought that although Ouyang Mengmeng was not in danger, after all, she was still a girl. He smiled awkwardly: "Let's go, I'll see you home on the way."

  Ouyang Mengmeng's face lit up with joy, and she suddenly remembered the flower in her arms. She solemnly handed it over: "Qin Qing, congratulations to you for bringing so much laughter to everyone tonight."

  "Thank you, but I think you should keep this flower. A big man like me holding onto something like this is quite out of place." Qin Qing nodded politely to her.

  "Others have specially ordered flowers for you!" Ouyang Mengmeng stood in front of him, refusing to give in.

  Qin Qing had rarely seen her so flustered and didn't want to make things difficult for her, so he said:

  "I understand your intention, let's just say I'm giving it back to you. Take it home and plant it in a pot, take good care of it. Fresh flowers are easily dropped, if they wither in my hands that would be a waste. You wouldn't want to see them being thrown into the trash can by our dorm mates tomorrow morning."

  Ouyang Mengmeng thought for a moment and felt that it was very likely. Looking at the beautifully arranged flowers, she couldn't help but hold them tightly in her arms: "Hmm, from now on, if any girl sends you flowers, just hand them over to me to take care of, okay?"

  Qin Qing turned his head to look at her, this girl's thoughts were not good at hiding, passionate like fire, making people helpless, he had no sparks with her, no matter how many times he hinted to her, they could only be buddies, she would smile brightly and tell him that being buddies made her happy too.

  Now her hands are getting longer and longer, this semester has not stopped, in the past she would mercilessly hit those girls who chased him, because there was no one he cared about, he just let it be, enjoying the commotion.

  When she went to find Sang Hong's fork again and again, his disgust gradually emerged.

  Especially when she squeezed herself between him and Xiang Hong, her expression was as if she had caught an adulterous wife, which made him very uncomfortable.

  He had a good talk with her.

  "Mengmeng, you know we can't go on like this. Since there's no spark between us, continuing like this will lead to misunderstandings. You can't expect me to spend the next four years of university life alone and unaccompanied, do you?"

  Ouyang Mengmeng was just intoxicated by the autumn night's bright moon, when he suddenly heard such words and knew that tonight his true face would be exposed and could not be avoided.

  Concealing her broken heart, she said gloomily: "Everyone knows we're good buddies, what's there to misunderstand?"

  Qin Qing listened as she still didn't know whether to advance or retreat, giving him vague concepts and randomly agreeing, so he simply steeled himself and said:

  "This emotional matter, girls must be defined as buddies, this life wants to turn into a girlfriend, it's basically impossible, in the future when dealing with other boys, the position must be clear;"

  I'm the same, I recognized you as a sister halfway through, it's quite an honor, really treating me like a brother, just help me chase after Sang Hong.

  Don't keep bothering her, ruining the good impression I've worked hard to build up. The little friendship I've managed to gain with great effort can't withstand your constant meddling.

  "My heart is beating more and more every day, and I just can't calm it down. I guess she thinks of me as a buddy, how miserable!"

  Ouyang Mengmeng heard the despair in Qin Qing's words, as well as these heartfelt words, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

  After Qin Qing's mention, she also felt that Sang Hong and Qin Qing had become closer, but there was no sign of romance at all, and they rarely met alone.

  According to her observation, the state of being with him was no different from that of other boys in the same class. Hearing him define his position in Shang Hong's heart like this, she suddenly felt a sense of openness and clarity, an unprecedented ease that swept away the gloom at the bottom of her heart.

  She has never been unable to get what she wants since childhood, and at this moment, she is even more determined in her belief that as long as Qin Qing does not get the woman of his dreams, her chance will always exist.

  Even the most straightforward woman has some tricks up her sleeve when it comes to love.

  Ouyang Mengmeng adjusted her mindset and made a surprised gesture: "You really took a liking to that little girl Shang Hong? Why didn't you say so earlier, hehe, I thought you were being forced to fulfill the agreement;

  And look at you and her getting along, without even having the idea of holding hands, what kind of chasing a girl is this?

  Qin Qing was originally simple-minded when it came to relationships between men and women, and hearing her not only not cry and make a fuss as he had expected, but instead give him such astonishing words, left him even more astonished:

  "The idea of holding hands was still there, but lacking the courage to put it into action. We were always training and adjusting our plans together, never having a chance to be alone. And I was worried that she didn't have that intention, being too abrupt would ruin even the friendship."

  Ouyang Mengmeng was shocked with wide eyes, it turned out that the man wasn't cold, but his nervous object wasn't her after all.

  He couldn't help but laugh a little bitterly and said something astonishing: "Training is such a great opportunity to get close, have you never tried it?"

  "What? Taking advantage of training, under everyone's watchful eyes to get close to her, Mengmeng, how can you have such an evil idea?"
