Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 404 - 158: Qin Shiqing Goes Shopping for Autumn Clothes_3
"No problem!"
Despite his words, the young guy was clearly in a bad mood, sitting down heavily on the bed, puffed up with anger.
Hu Xu said, "Lao Liu, if something really happened, you can talk to us. We’re all brothers here; let’s see if we can help!"
Cai Wensheng remained silent.
Hou Yongjin glanced at Cai Wensheng and guessed, "Did you have a fight with Popcorn?"
"Yeah!"
Cai Wensheng finally nodded.
Just after killing a deer and digging out the meat, Zeng Kaiping perked up at the mention.
Usually, Cai Wensheng and Popcorn were all sweet and loving, so it was rare for them to get into a spat.
He asked nosily, "Ah Sheng, what did you two fight about? Tell us, and I’ll judge for you!"
"Here’s what happened!"
Cai Wensheng said angrily, "Today, Popcorn and I went to have dinner, and we ordered a bowl of Pian’er Chuan. I wanted to add green onions, but Popcorn didn’t want them."
Pian’er Chuan is a classic noodle dish from Lin’an with over a hundred years of history. No one knows exactly how it originated, but it has been around since the late Qing Dynasty, with the most famous shop being Kuiyuan Restaurant.
It’s said that many examinees would come to Lin’an for provincial exams, so the shop owner made this popular noodle dish with bamboo shoots and meat slices to cater to them. Adding three eggs to the dish symbolized "success in the three examinations."
Last time, Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing, among others, went to West Lake, and they had this Pian’er Chuan for lunch. It’s commonly seen in the college canteen and private restaurants.
"So?"
Zeng Kaiping pressed on.
"Then we both stuck to our guns, neither would budge, and we ended up fighting. Usually, I give in to her more often, so why didn’t she let me have my way this time!"
Cai Wensheng felt very wronged.
"So you fought over whether to add green onions to a bowl of Pian’er Chuan?"
The young guy’s face twitched as he fought the urge to hit someone.
"Yeah, neither of us would back down, and in the end, we didn’t even eat the Pian’er Chuan, just went back to our dorms. Fourth Bro, don’t you think Popcorn was being unreasonable?"
Cai Wensheng recounted the whole thing in a furious tone.
"Right, right, you’re absolutely right!"
Zeng Kaiping thought to himself, if I cared about you and Popcorn, I’d be a dog!
His attention returned to the screen, continuing to look for the deer.
The others couldn’t help but shake their heads.
The youngest in dorms 302 and 501 were like children, and even their romantic relationships were immature, fighting over trivial matters like this.
"Lao Liu, couldn’t you just order another bowl of Pian’er Chuan? That way, whoever wants green onions can have them, and whoever doesn’t won’t have to."
Hu Xu couldn’t help but chime in.
"We just had milk tea and weren’t really hungry, plus Popcorn and I eat small portions, so we didn’t plan on wasting food. It’s not about the money; it’s mainly Popcorn’s attitude. I think since I usually give in to her, she should let me have my way this time!"
Cai Wensheng’s reasoning was solid.
"Alright, pretend I never said anything!"
Hu Xu shrugged.
Su Zelin didn’t even bother trying to advise them.
Cai Wensheng and Popcorn are just too childish, like playing house.
They could have a fight today and make up tomorrow, nothing to worry about.
"Beep beep beep..."
QQ had a new message, and Su Zelin switched out from the game to find Qin Shiqing’s icon flashing.
The slacker opened the chat window casually.
Sunny Day: "Zelin, are you done with your stuff over there? There’s still quite a few days left of the Golden Week holiday. Are you free tomorrow? [Wink]"
From her tone, Su Zelin sensed a hint of a plot.
Growing Up Handsome: "Qin Shiqing, what are you up to? [Picking Nose]"
Sunny Day: "Isn’t the weather getting cooler? I plan to go shopping with Xiaoyanzi [Covering Mouth]"
At the mention of "shopping," Su Zelin got a headache.
For some reason, women love to go shopping when they’re bored and full.
They have many reasons for shopping.
For instance, "The world is so big, I want to go out and show myself," usually referring to those who are beautiful and have great figures, purely to enjoy the admiring glances of the opposite sex and jealous looks of the same. They might end up buying nothing.
Some think, "Last year’s clothes don’t match my aura this year, let’s go shopping!" referring to those who always lack something in their wardrobe, just to buy, buy, buy.
Some don’t need any reason at all, they just feel uncomfortable if they don’t shop for a few days, wanting to go every single day if they could.
It’s fine for them to like shopping, but the worst part is they can shop the whole day.
Men shop: they buy what they lack, then go home.
Women shop: they shop to see what they’re missing, and the more they shop, the more they feel they need to buy, so it’s not surprising if they’re out from morning till night.
Apparently, this is in girls’ nature, even Qin Shiqing is not exempt.
One summer, a few friends planned to go out, childhood friends and Xiaoyanzi were excitedly running around all day, while he and his best buddy tagged along like shadows.
As someone with such good stamina, the slacker even felt exhausted, yet Qin Shiqing and Xiaoyanzi were perfectly fine and wanted to continue the next day, which Su Zelin decisively refused.
He typed furiously.
Growing Up Handsome: "Good idea, have fun!"
Sunny Day: "Fun, my foot! You have to come with us [Knock Head]"
Growing Up Handsome: "Why?"
Sunny Day: "Because it’s getting cold, and I want to buy fall clothes!"
Growing Up Handsome: "Qin Shiqing, you’re buying fall clothes, not me. What’s that got to do with me?"
Sunny Day: "I need to try on clothes and get someone’s opinion on whether they look good or not. What if I end up buying something I don’t like? [Sticking Tongue Out]"
