The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 128: No Choice but to Search for Another Dream on the Roof
Chapter 128: Chapter 128: No Choice but to Search for Another Dream on the Roof
"Is Xiao Han doing much better now?"
"Um... after a while, I should be able to take you to see her."
Su Wan lifted her face and reminisced for a moment, "The last time we met, it was such a long time ago."
Lin Shuang also immersed himself in memories, "Back then, you guys would always mix me up in doubles ping-pong."
"Beating shows affection, scolding shows love - don’t you get it~"
"Hmm? Then, Wanwan, hit me now."
As he wished, Su Wan reached over from the passenger seat and slapped his thigh.
Lin Shuang laughed, "That’s not right! It’s not a beating without affection!"
"You just say straight if you want this mama to bite you!"
The Lamborghini stopped at the red light, Lin Shuang pointed to his own face, "Then bite me~"
Su Wan pushed his face away, "You ask me to bite, and I bite, wouldn’t this mama lose face completely?"
Lin Shuang got the hint and leaned in to nibble her.
He laughed, "You want me to nibble you just say so!"
Su Wan, with a look of disdain, wiped her saliva-covered cheek with the back of her hand, smearing it all over his trouser leg.
"Disgusting you!"
Despite saying so, this childhood friend seemed quite happy while laughing.
The green light turned on, Lin Shuang stepped on the gas pedal, and continued driving towards the Cashbox KTV.
Today was the dormitory mingle organized by roommates Zhang Yongkang and Liu Yuanzhi.
Two college boys, eager to be in a relationship, had been planning for a long time and made contact with a girls’ dorm from the Foreign Languages Department.
Now it was Lin Shuang’s turn to perform as the bait.
At the time, Zhang Yongkang had grabbed his shoulders and shook fiercely, "Big Shuang! You absolutely must come, the fish won’t bite if you’re not there!"
Liu Yuanzhi added from the side, "Big Shuang, you also have to bring Su Wan with you, just focus on being the bait and don’t compete with us for the fish!"
Lin Shuang spread his hands, "When the girl students arrive and find the goods aren’t as advertised, won’t they just run away on the spot?"
"No, no, just show up and it’s good!"
So now... Lin Shuang brought Su Wan with him.
Anyway, there’s no need to pay, class leader Zhang Yongkang covered all the expenses, able to freeload food and drinks, and also to freeload a session at the KTV to belt out a few tunes.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Wan brought up Yan Han again.
"Xiao Han used to be really clingy with you."
"So... being both girls, Wanwan, can you help me analyze what’s up with Xiao Han later on?"
Su Wan pondered for a moment, "I guess, I might understand Xiao Han’s thoughts, she’s probably harboring the mindset of not wanting to be a burden on you."
Lin Shuang turned the steering wheel over an intersection and paused before speaking, "Not wanting to be a burden on me?"
"Probably, that’s what it is."
"...But I’ve been used to taking care of her since we were kids, and she’s long been used to my care."
"It’s different now... Her uncle and aunt are gone, if just you take care of Xiao Han..."
Su Wan carefully chose her words, "I think, probably Xiao Han is thinking something like this."
"We’re all family, no need to say things like that."
"So if you spend more time with her, she should gradually get better."
"Girls’ thoughts are really complicated."
"It’s because Lin Dasha you’re too simple-minded~"
After parking the car, Lin Shuang walked Su Wan to the entrance of the KTV.
Zhang Yongkang and Liu Yuanzhi had already been eagerly waiting there.
"Big Shuang! You finally arrived! The girls are all waiting for you!"
"Class leader, hurry and announce in the group that Lin Shuang has arrived."
"Isn’t it still early? We still have ten or twenty minutes before the scheduled time!"
Lin Shuang laughed with the two of them, "....Chill out, guys, don’t get all hyper like monkeys, or you’ll scare the girls away when they arrive."
After greeting Lin Shuang, the two of them calmed down instantly upon seeing Su Wan behind him, as if they snapped to attention.
It was like monkeys stumbling upon a tiger’s den, not daring to make a move.
The aura of Goddess Su was just too strong.
Su Wan, standing behind Lin Shuang, didn’t look at them but nodded slightly in greeting.
She’d still greet Lin Shuang’s friends like that.
But Su Wan, who had a fear of men, hardly ever looked directly at any other guys besides Lin Shuang.
The group sat down in the KTV lobby and waited for the female classmates from the dorm to arrive.
They actually weren’t late; it was Zhang Yongkang and Liu Yuanzhi who were a bit too eager to ditch their single status.
Lin Shuang asked, "Are the girls coming reliable? Let’s not end up as gossip fodder on the campus forum again!"
Zhang Yongkang patted his chest, "That definitely won’t happen, they’re absolutely reliable. The dorm leader on their side is from my hometown."
"Wow, a fellow townsman, eh? You’ve had your eye on her for quite some time, haven’t you?"
Liu Yuanzhi chuckled on the side, "You don’t know since you’re not in the dorm, we all hear the class leader talk every night about how pretty and gentle his fellow townsman is."
Lin Shuang asked him, "What about you, Yuanzhi? Got your eye on any girl from their dorm?"
With Su Wan there, Liu Yuanzhi couldn’t say outright but sneakily counted on his fingers.
Lin Shuang got it immediately; he was interested in the biggest catch.
So Lin Shuang gave him a thumbs-up, "Nice taste!"
Su Wan pinched Lin Shuang’s thigh and asked softly, "What kind of secret code are you guys using?"
"We were just saying how nice and sunny the weather is today!"
Then Su Wan pinched him even harder.
"You think I don’t understand, huh? Interested in the large ones, right?"
"You like the large ones when I send you stuff too!"
"...We’ll settle this when we get back!"
Zhang Yongkang laughed, "Lin Dasha and Goddess Su... You two get along really well."
"After all, we are childhood sweethearts."
A friendship that started with split-pants!
This KTV was actually quite posh, with class leader Zhang Yongkang really splurging.
The vast lobby was turned into a bar, with lots of private booths scattered around.
The front desk served as both the cashier for KTV room rentals and a bar counter.
The floor was laid with sumptuous black marble tiles, and dazzling crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting brilliant light all around.
There was even a piano placed in the middle of the lobby, surrounded by many musical instruments.
It looked like there would be a band performing in-house later.
Su Wan dragged Lin Shuang over to the stage, "Lin Dasha, accompany your lady for a song first."
Lin Shuang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "We can sing inside a KTV room later!"
Su Wan had already sat down in front of the grand piano, "So many chicks are eyeing my little piggy here, I need to perform one song to suppress them all."
"I really didn’t notice..."
Lin Shuang took a quick look around and realized it was true.
There were plenty of university students hanging out here, with no classes at this time.
Instead of going to the ’Green Plum’ Tea House to relax, they’re here; what’s the deal!
Lin Shuang picked up a guitar nearby, "There seem to be quite a few eyeing my Wanwan too; I need to suppress them as well."
The two exchanged a smile, with no need for more words.
Su Wan’s fingers flew over the piano keys, her music flowing like a gentle stream.
Lin Shuang cradled the guitar, singing into the microphone.
"Not able to sleep at night~ humming my mood into a song~"
A duet of "Rooftop," beloved by the childhood sweethearts, began to echo through the bar.
