Chapter 392 - The Plot
Chapter 392: The Plot
“Great idea!” Qin Muye felt very happy to go along with Qin Mufeng’s plan.
“Since he has been hiding from Tan Mo that he’s been going on blind dates, then I think you should encourage Tan Mo to hide from him that she’s getting to know other boys.” Qin Mufeng gave Qin Muye what he thought was a good idea.
“I…I don’t know. That…that’s not too good. After she met these guys, then wouldn’t she have to entertain them? Also, what about if the other party frequently sends her messages, that would be very annoying.” Qin Muye felt that she should not attract such trouble for Tan Mo.
“No need to worry,” Qin Mufeng said. “I will find out where Zhiqian’s next blind date is, and you can arrange for Tan Mo and a boy that you’ve chosen to be there. As long as Zhiqian sees them together, do you think that the poor boy will ever have the chance to contact Tan Mo again?”
Qin Muye: “……”
This was a bit harsh.
This move was truly too harsh.
“Then wouldn’t that boy be someone we were just using?” Qin Muye couldn’t bear to do it. “That’s too pitiful.”
“How is that pitiful? He certainly will have intentions toward Tan Mo and would agree only if he was interested.” Qin Mufeng also dragged out another tool they could use, Ming Yeqing. “Surely there were many boys who tried to get to know more about Tan Mo through Ming Yeqing?”
Qin Muye: “……”
That was true.
“So now you are giving him a chance.” Qin Mufeng was like the wolf who pretended to be a grandmother in the story of little red riding hood. He gradually tempted her to carry out his plan. “Otherwise, this guy wouldn’t stand a chance. You have provided him with a chance. Whether he is able to grasp it or not afterward, whether Tan Mo likes him or not, is dependent on him.
“If he is not able to take the stress from Zhiqian, you are not to blame.” Qin Mufeng smiled. “It’s not as if you are using him, and you are not lying to him. You have indeed created a chance for him, and he should thank you. Otherwise, if he asked Tan Mo out himself, do you think he would be successful?”
Qin Muye thought, that was also true.
“Then I will discuss it with Yeqing tomorrow,” Qin Muye’s words shattered Qin Mufeng’s heart.
In the past, no matter what her brother said, she would have believed in it and would have done it immediately without any argument.
Now, she wanted to discuss it with Ming Yeqing.
Qin Mufeng coldly laughed.
Qin Muye found that weird. “Brother, what is it?”
“Nothing, go ahead,” Qin Mufeng said in a weird tone.
Ming Yeqing was cunning. He certainly would understand Qin Mufeng’s intentions and agree.
In this kind of situation, he unexpectedly could relate to Ming Yeqing, and that made Qin Mufeng feel depressed.
Thus, before noon on the next weekday, Qin Muye returned to Beijing University.
She had specially and secretly told Ming Yeqing to arrive at Beijing University before noon.
She wanted them to eat together. She had something to discuss with him.
They hid it from Tan Mo.
Tan Mo always returned to Beijing University about noon.
Ming Yeqing did not know what Qin Muye wanted to do, but he agreed.
After they arrived at school, Qin Muye immediately messaged Ming Yeqing, “Have you arrived?”
“I’m just organizing my things in the dorm,” Ming Yeqing said.
“That’s great. I also just arrived at school. Wait for me to return to the dorm to put down my things and I will come find you. Let’s find a place to eat, and I will tell you the details.”
Ming Yeqing: “… okay.”
Qin Muye quickly organized her things in the dorm and rushed to Ming Yeqing’s dorm.
She unexpectedly ran into him halfway there.
“Yeqing!” Qin Muye was surprised.
He hadn’t waited for her and explained with a smile, “I calculated the time and came out early. Then you wouldn’t have to walk so far.”
“You are so considerate.” Qin Muye pulled on Ming Yeqing’s arm. “Let’s go. Let’s find a restaurant near school and talk while we eat.”
“We’re not eating at the school canteen?” It was closer.
Qin Muye shook her head. “There are too many people in the canteen. I don’t want to be overheard.”
Ming Yeqing laughed.
He wondered what was going on that she was being so careful.
They found a Xinjiang-style restaurant near school.
Ming Yeqing ordered grilled buns, grilled lamb skewers, a large plate of chicken, and seasonal vegetables.
“I still want to eat noodles,” Qin Muye said.
“Then we will have two more…”
Ming Yeqing had yet to finish when Qin Muye said, “One bowl is enough, medium spicy.”
After they had ordered, she explained to Ming Yeqing, “We had already ordered grilled buns, and I am afraid that I can’t finish a plate of noodles. You have to help me finish it.”
“All right.” Ming Yeqing nodded.
Qin Muye was the one who’d wanted to eat grilled buns.
The young lady was a little greedy and wanted to eat everything she liked in one sitting.
She had even wanted to order naan, but two people couldn’t finish so much food.
“It would be great if Mo Mo was here. We could order more dishes.” Qin Muye missed Tan Mo.
“You specially avoided Mo Mo. So do you want to talk to me about something regarding her?” Ming Yeqing asked with a smile.
Qin Muye nodded, then told him about how Wei Zhiqian had lied to Tan Mo, telling her he was busy working when he actually was going on blind dates.
“What’s the big deal about blind dates?” Qin Muye angrily asked. “He should have told her right away. Mo Mo would not have bothered him. This, however, is so aggravating!
“Brother Zhiqian was in the wrong,” Ming Yeqing sided with them.
“That’s right.” Qin Muye then asked, “Is there anyone who’s asked you about Mo Mo recently?”
“There always is. Moreover, Upperclassman Cheng has yet to give up,” Ming Yeqing said. “He always wants to ask Mo Mo out, but Mo Mo has never agreed. It was also not good for him to have told Mo Mo that he wanted to pursue her. All his advances have been rejected by Mo Mo.
“He is depressed now, and has even asked for my help,” Ming Yeqing said. “But, since I know that Mo Mo is not willing, how can I help Upperclassman Cheng out?”
Qin Muye nodded.
Yeqing was indeed reliable!
“What do you think of Upperclassman Cheng as a person?” Qin Muye leaned in slightly and asked in a low voice. She was very interested in his answer.
Ming Yeqing was instantly alert, hid his expression, and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about him?”
Qin Muye had gone to the lab a few times and knew about Upperclassman Cheng.
Could it be that she had developed fond feelings toward Upperclassman Cheng in those few meetings?
“Brother Zhiqian has not only hidden from Mo Mo about his blind dates, but has even lied to her. It is so aggravating. We must somehow help Mo Mo vent this anger and let Brother Zhiqian also feel what it is like to be left in the dark by someone especially important to you,” Qin Muye said.
“Mo Mo did not accept his invitation, but we can help. Mo Mo certainly will not reject us if we ask her out. At that time, we will arrange to go to the place where Brother Zhiqian is having his blind date, and let Brother Zhiqian see us. Boy would that make him angry!” As Qin Muye said this, she felt that Qin Mufeng’s idea was not bad at all.
It would be a great way to vent their anger.
“Wasn’t Brother Zhiqian previously coming to school every day to vet the boys who liked Mo Mo? He felt that this would not do and that would not do. We will let him see us! When he is not around and is busy with his blind dates and has no time to see Mo Mo, then there will be boys who will take the opportunity to come between them,” Qin Muye whispered.
