A pair of delicate hands rested on Qin Huan’s shoulders, and she could even feel the softness pressing against her back.
“Your name is Qin Huan, right? Little Zhenli really liked you back then. I truly never thought I’d see you again.”
A voice with a strong, enveloping quality whispered right next to Qin Huan’s ear, making her feel completely unable to move.
“Hmm~ Why are you so tense? Don’t you remember me?”
Qin Huan’s face was gently turned to the side, and she finally saw the owner of the voice.
Silver-white hime-cut hair exuded a sharp chill, yet the gaze directed at Qin Huan held an unconscious allure.
She seemed to have just woken up, simply draped in a shirt that revealed large patches of snow-white skin.
Looking at the utterly confused Qin Huan, the mature, intellectual woman sighed.
“I was your most respected big sister. How could you forget even me? Are your eyes only for little Zhenli now?”
Qin Huan felt utterly helpless.
The image of her in their memories was entirely arranged by the Miao Heavenly Emperor.
How was she supposed to know what exactly the Miao Heavenly Emperor had set up?
“Sister?”
Ju Zhenli pushed the door open, clearly taken aback.
“What are you doing here?”
“Hmm?”
Ju Zhenli’s older sister let out a soft hum.
“I just woke up. When I came out, I happened to see you going downstairs. I wanted to see if some bad man had deceived you…”
“Ju Chiansui, I’ve told you I despise men.”
Ju Zhenli’s tone was exceptionally icy, seeming to hate anyone mentioning the word ‘men,’ even her own sister.
Glancing at Qin Huan beside her, Ju Zhenli stepped forward, took Ju Chiansui’s hand, and pulled her out of the room.
Left alone in the private room, Qin Huan felt her mind in chaos.
Why did the interpersonal relationships feel increasingly complicated?
Couldn’t the Miao Heavenly Emperor really let her see these memories?
[Sorry, Qin Huan. Because I pulled you into this world, I cannot alter your memories.]
Trash Miao Heavenly Emperor! What use are you?
It’s like I’m fighting alone!
[Alright, I am indeed trash, Qin Huan. You do your best. Su Lingling Mama is petting me. It feels so good~]
Oh no, the Miao Heavenly Emperor has completely defected to the enemy.
Weren’t you supposed to be my strategist?
[Sorry, Qin Huan. It’s just that Su Lingling Mama is… so strong and powerful.]
Qin Huan slumped powerlessly into the comfortable chair in the private room, feeling sorry for herself.
“Xiao Huan?!”
Ju Zhenli, who had pushed the door open at some unknown time, exclaimed upon seeing Qin Huan collapsed in the chair.
Qin Huan turned her head to the side and spoke with utter despondency.
“You’re back, Master.”
Ju Zhenli stepped forward to help Qin Huan up, looking at her with some concern.
“Xiao Huan, are you alright?”
“I’m perfectly fine.”
Qin Huan forced a smile.
She was going to Blacken!
She was going to ruthlessly conquer Ju Zhenli, then use Ju Zhenli’s power to thoroughly discipline Su Lingling, making her never pet Big Orange again!
When that time came, wouldn’t Big Orange have to grovel at her feet, rubbing its head against her feet while making meows to please her?
“Master, what shall we eat tonight?”
Qin Huan proactively grabbed Ju Zhenli’s hand, gazing at her with deep affection.
The tips of Ju Zhenli’s ears actually flushed slightly red.
Did even such a cold and proud Student Council President have her own weakness?
“X-Xiao Huan, I’ve already spoken with my sister.”
Ju Zhenli’s voice actually carried a hint of shyness.
Huh?
So Ju Zhenli’s true nature was a young girl who couldn’t withstand teasing?
Qin Huan, who had already resigned herself to accepting a defeat ending and aligning with Ju Zhenli, hadn’t expected this unexpected gain.
Ju Zhenli’s favorability unexpectedly increased by 5 points.
The Obsession Degree decreased by 3 points.
Hehehe…
Qin Huan suddenly had a strange idea, but now wasn’t the time.
When the meal was almost finished, that would be the moment for her to reveal her blade!
“Little Zhenli!”
Ju Chiansui pushed the door open, saw the scene before her, and gave Qin Huan a knowing smile.
Hearing the voice, Ju Zhenli actively broke free from Qin Huan’s grip.
“Sister!”
“I just came to deliver a dish. You two continue. Good luck~”
Ju Chiansui placed the dish on the table and even thoughtfully opened two bottles of red wine.
She had heard alcohol could stimulate female hormone secretion.
It was just a shame Qin Huan had been a purebred single dog in her previous life, with no chance to have a meal alone with a girl.
As Ju Chiansui left, she winked at Qin Huan, hinting at something unknown.
“Master, let’s eat first!”
Qin Huan revealed a harmless, innocent smile, looking quite simple.
[Qin Huan, I never expected you to seize the initiative while I was gone. So impressive.]
Big Orange’s voice came at an inopportune time.
Qin Huan forcefully suppressed the urge to snort coldly.
This bad cat!
She’d settle the score with it later!
Ju Zhenli had just sat down beside Qin Huan when a glass of red wine was already poured for her.
“Master, please taste the wine Sister Chiansui prepared for me!”
“Xiao Huan, aren’t you drinking?”
Ju Zhenli picked up the wine glass, looking somewhat strangely at Qin Huan.
She had a feeling Xiao Huan was being a bit too enthusiastic today, but what was wrong with being enthusiastic towards her?
“Hmm, Master, I’m allergic to alcohol, so I won’t drink.”
Qin Huan waved her hand, her face still wearing that harmless smile.
“Alright.”
Ju Zhenli downed the glass of red wine in one go.
Although her alcohol tolerance wasn’t great, this was, after all, the first glass of wine Xiao Huan had poured for her.
She should be a bit more proactive.
If she only took a small sip and was misunderstood as being perfunctory, that wouldn’t be good.
Seeing the empty wine glass, Qin Huan was dumbfounded.
Shouldn’t she have just taken a small sip?
Did Ju Zhenli have a high alcohol tolerance?
Then how was she supposed to get Ju Zhenli drunk?
“Xiao Huan, please forgive me for acting on my own.”
Ju Zhenli’s complexion was somewhat flushed.
Somehow, she suddenly uttered this apology.
“Huh? What’s wrong, Master?”
Qin Huan tilted her head, expressing confusion.
Why did Ju Zhenli’s face suddenly get so red?
Was her alcohol tolerance not that good?
Then why did she down it in one go?
Could it be…
Was this all an act?
Was Ju Zhenli pretending to be drunk, waiting for Qin Huan to help her to bed, and then she would…
The more Qin Huan thought about it, the more she felt this was the case.
It seemed her plan to get Ju Zhenli drunk and then run away had fallen through.
Ju Zhenli didn’t continue speaking, just poured herself more red wine.
In the transparent wine glass, the purplish-red wine appeared somewhat bewitching, as if drinking it would lead to eternal damnation.
“Master, drink less. It’s not good for your health.”
Qin Huan couldn’t smile anymore.
She looked at Ju Zhenli with some concern.
Ju Zhenli was really ruthless.
To thoroughly suppress Qin Huan tonight, was she choosing to force herself to drink?
Another glass went down.
Ju Zhenli’s face grew even redder.
“Xiao Huan, the me from before was truly selfish…”
Why was she bringing up the past again?
Damn it, that wretched Big Orange was still exerting its influence.
What kind of image had it crafted for her?
“Master, I’ve never thought you were selfish. You’ve always been the best master in my heart.”
Qin Huan could only do her utmost to please Ju Zhenli, striving to give her no reason to keep forcing drinks on herself.
“Xiao Huan…”
Ju Zhenli poured herself another glass of red wine.
Watching Ju Zhenli’s face grow increasingly red, Qin Huan’s own expression grew increasingly worse…
“It’s already very late, Master. You really can’t drink anymore!”
Qin Huan decided to burn her bridges.
If she let Ju Zhenli continue drinking, the situation tonight would become difficult to control.
