Qin Han held his chin with one arm and finally said after a long moment of silence, “The other name for the Long Island Iced Tea is ‘the tea which causes a girl to lose her virginity’.”
“…” F*ck!
Xiao Yunyun was introduced to a new field of knowledge.
Qin Han was smiling, “Is it surprising to you that the Long Island Iced Tea has a angel’s name while it is actually a devil? Are you afraid?”
Xiao Yunyun said with contempt, “I have been in the medical academy for five years and only believe in science. I’ll never believe or feel terrified about things like angels or devils!”
“Wow.” Qin Han seemed to be speechless but was more interested after hearing her answer. “From your behavior, I can guess this is your first time entering a bar.” He knocked at the table and said to the bartender, “Serve this beautiful girl a glass of orange juice.”
“Who told you that I want orange juice?” Xiao Yunyun patted on the bar counter and said, “I want wine!”
The bartender asked, “Which wine would you like to order?”
Xiao Yunyun thought for a minute and couldn’t think up a name. Then she just waved her hand. “Any kind is fine!”
The bartender considered for a moment and gave Xiao Yunyun a glass of fruit wine after seeing Qin Han’s silent approval.
Xiao Yunyun thought it would be some strong liquor like she had seen on the television. So she closed her eyes to have a taste but it didn’t taste strong or spicy in the way she had imagined. Instead, the sweet fruit smell was spread in her mouth and she felt very comfortable, as if she had drunk some Iced Black Tea in a hot summer afternoon.
Em, yummy!
She licked her lips, then she raised her head to drink up the rest.
Qin Han was worried, “Doctor Xiao, as a reminder, you can easily get drunk if you keep drinking like that…”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t hear what Qin Han said. She simply placed the exquisite glass on the counter with a bang and said, “Give me another glass!”
The bartender was very familiar with Qin Han; he could tell that Qin Han didn’t want Xiao Yunyun to drink too much. So he tried to persuade her, “Miss, the fruit wine is better when you enjoy it slowly. You…”
“You talk too much,” Xiao Yunyun interrupted him and ordered firmly, “Give me another!”
The bartender gave Qin Han a helpless look, only to find that Qin Han was even more desperate. So he had no choice but to prepare another glass of fruit wine for Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun finished it right away again. This time, it tasted sweet and amazing.
She raised her thumb to the bartender and praised, “The fruit wine you made tastes better than juice. Um, can I try another flavor? I’d like to try green plum!”
There was a smile in her eyes but it didn’t come from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Han somehow sensed the strangeness and pointed at the dancing floor, “Do you want to have some fun there? You cousin-in-law and many of her friends are there.”
“Not interested!” Xiao Yunyun waved her hand and raised her chin to the bartender. “Hey, hot guy, I want green plum flavor!”
Qin Han had to say to the bartender, “Well, just give her what she wants.” Then, he supported his chin with his arm and stared at Xiao Yunyun.
He clearly remembered that Xiao Yunyun was behaving normally in spite of the fact that she had been cold to him before Shen Yuechuan’s ex-girlfriend approached them. Xiao Yunyun began acting strangely after she showed up; she was clearly in a bad mood. But this didn’t work against him; she was even trying to get drunk.
Qin Han was all smiles as he teased Xiao Yunyun, “Are you jealous of the girl who came to see me?”
Xiao Yunyun took a sip of the green plum wine and patted Qin Han’s shoulder. “Young man, you think too much.”
“Maybe you misunderstood what I mean.” Qin Han gave her a light smile. “I mean she is Shen Yuechuan’s ex and was once intimate with him. This made you jealous. Am I right?”
Xiao Yunyun stopped for a minute and put down the glass which was already close to her lips. Then she made a strong effort to put up a smile for Qin Han.
Before she could say anything, Qin Han uttered, “So you really know Shen Yuechuan. And, you like him.” His calm statement and firm tone suddenly cracked Xiao Yunyun’s courage to refute.
Xiao Yunyun could only collapse by herself—Damn it, was it so obvious?
“No wonder you have no feelings towards a man as handsome as me. You’ve had a Husky in your mind ahead of time.” Qin Han took a long breath out. “There are so many guys in the world, but you just had to like Shen Yuechuan…”
Xiao Yunyun stared at Qin Han. “What’s not good about him?”
“You’re defending him?” Qin Han covered his chest and pretended to be hurt until Xiao Yunyun rolled her eyes at him. Then he came back to normal and said, “Doctor Xiao, Shen Yuechuan and you are not the same type of people. No matter if he likes you or not, you will get hurt if you like him.”
Xiao Yunyun asked subconsciously, “Why?”
“It’s because Shen Yuechuan only sees love as a game. As the girl you just saw, he would choose to break up once he gets bored. But you can ask yourself, can you be so free and easy?”
“…” Xiao Yunyun lowered her eyes, not saying anything.
Qin Han looked as if he had known how she would react. He glanced at Xiao Yunyun and said, “I know you wouldn’t.”
After a pause, Qin Han’s expression became heavy. “Miss, I know you’re sad because Shen Yuechuan doesn’t like you. But even if he did, he will lose interest in you someday. You will only be sad after the breakup. So, isn’t it tragic?”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t want to admit it, but Qin Han’s analysis was truly impossible to refute. She was destined to live a tragedy.
Xiao Yunyun quietly lifted the glass, then she made a toasting gesture to Qin Han and finished the wine in one go.
Qin Han shook his head. “Do you have to do that for Shen Yuechuan’s sake?”
Xiao Yunyun knocked at the counter which was to tell the bartender to make another glass of fruit wine. Then a mysterious smile appeared by her lips. “I don’t really have to be like that for Shen Yuechuan. But… the problem…”
It took her quite a while to finish the sentence. So Qin Han had to ask tentatively, “What is the problem?”
“The problem is that I have f***ing thought about it already. I know he won’t be serious even if he’s with me!” Xiao Yunyun suddenly shouted, “But I don’t know how to give up!”
What was it like to fall for someone who was almost impossible?
You knew where he was, so you trekked on a long road just to gamble for that little possibility. Would you run into him on the way?
But even if you ran into him, you might not feel better because he would never open his heart to you, no matter how many times you met.
Just by thinking of him once, you would smile and be happy for a long time.
But you would simply feel hopeless and desperate the rest of the time, like waiting for a bus in a crowded bus station.
Qin Han looked at Xiao Yunyun and kept silent. After a while, he said in a low voice, “Then, don’t give up. Let me give you a solution.”
Xiao Yunyun was already dizzy after having drunk so much wine. She looked at Qin Han doubtfully, “What is it?”
“Try to find a way to make Shen Yuechuan fall in love with you,” Qin Han said, “He won’t hurt you once he falls in love with you.”
Xiao Yunyun stared at Qin Han for quite a while and nodded with satisfaction. “Young Mister, that’s a good idea! But… are you nuts?”
Qin Han laughed out. “Okay, what should I do to help you?”
Xiao Yunyun took up a glass and placed it before Qin Han. “Drink with me!”
Qin Han definitely had no disagreements. He asked the bartender to make a martini for him. Then they continued drinking by the counter.
Qin Han was still sober when Shen Yuechuan arrived, but Xiao Yunyun was already dizzy and about to pass out.
Shen Yuechuan was more than angry but he still controlled himself. He quickly moved close to Xiao Yunyun and asked, “How much have you drunk?”
Xiao Yunyun lazily lifted her head and somehow recognized Shen Yuechuan’s face. But she didn’t believe in her own eyes and smiled to Qin Han. “See? Mention Cao Cao and there he is!”
Qin Han smiled to Shen Yuechuan. “The little girl says you’re Cao Cao.”
Shen Yuechuan stared at Xiao Yunyun. “Since when do you know each other?”
“Just a moment ago!” Xiao Yunyun made a pincer gesture with two fingers, less than ten centimeters apart. “About this long ago!”
Shen Yuechuan patted on Xiao Yunyun’s hand. “And you dare to drink with him after having met for such a short time?!”
“Why not?” Xiao Yunyun hummed. “You can even sleep with someone you just met!”
“…” Shen Yuechuan had nothing to his defense.
Qin Han uttered a strange laughter by the side. Shen Yuechuan coldly glimpsed at him and he shrugged. “The girl is much funnier when she is drunk.”
Girl? Funny?
Those two words made Shen Yuechuan awfully furious.
Shen Yuechuan coldly hummed. “Qin Han, you were born in the same year; Xiao Yunyun is just a few months older than you. It’s not proper for you to call her a little girl, is it?”
“The word ‘girl’ has several different meanings,” Qin Han said smilingly, “It can be used for a senior to call a junior and it can also be used to express… love.”
Shen Yuechuan looked cold and calm on the surface, but in fact, there was a voice screaming in his heart. It was f***ing hell love!
Of course, Shen Yuechuan would never say such indecent words aloud. He just smiled, “You can use endearing terms with someone you just met less than an hour ago? Hum, young master Qin is even more casual than I thought.”
Qin Han had been naughty and tough since he was little. He had fought over a girlfriend with a rogue at school and fought with others outside the school. He was naturally unafraid of Shen Yuechuan. When he wanted to talk back, Shen Yuechuan grabbed his collar and pulled him up from his seat.
“I tried to control myself, but I can’t. Sorry.” There seemed to be iced knives hiding in Shen Yuechuan’s sharp eyes, quickly darting toward Qin Han. “Qin Han, I’m warning you, stay away from Xiao Yunyun.”
Qin Han used to mess around because he had his family to rely on. Although Shen Yuechuan had no background, he had Lu Boyan to support him. Besides, it was known that Shen Yuechuan was skilled in boxing. If he tried to fight against Shen Yuechuan, he would definitely be the one to lose.
Qin Han knew when to give up. He lifted his hand and signaled Shen Yuechuan to calm down. “This is Xiaoxi’s party before her wedding. Su Yicheng won’t be easy with you if you cause a scene and make Xiaoxi unhappy.”
