Chapter 532: Chapter 201: Zelin, Have You Reached Second Base with Shiqing?

After returning home, the connection with Lin’an was never broken. Basically, I had to call Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong every day to catch up on the situation.

Apart from that, my daily routine was just doing some planning and surfing the internet.

"Hey, Mouse, meet at the usual place later?"

Su Zelin called Lu Haoran in the morning.

The usual place, of course, was the New Heaven and Earth Internet Cafe.

"Zelin, sorry, I made plans with Xiaoyanzi to go to the city library later." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The honest man on the other end felt a bit embarrassed as he spoke.

"Mouse, you’ve changed!"

The scoundrel’s tone was resentful.

My best buddy spent the whole holiday glued to Xiaoyanzi, and I was almost out of the picture.

It perfectly echoed that saying, "Xiaoyanzi, I can’t live without you!"

I even ranked you before Qin Shiqing, how could you treat me like this!

"Sorry, Zelin, Xiaoyanzi made plans with me yesterday."

Lu Haoran also felt guilty towards Su Zelin, and he specifically explained and tentatively asked, "Why don’t you join us?"

"Forget it, I have no interest in being the third wheel!"

The scoundrel felt that if he suddenly butted in, it would be like being a third party.

What’s more, if I went to the library, what else could I do besides twirling a pen?

"You could bring Shiqing along!"

Lu Haoran suggested.

Three can indeed be awkward, but upgrading to a group of four would be fine, avoiding any unwanted attention.

"Not interested, just let you and Xiaoyanzi hold down the fort at the library." Su Zelin suddenly thought of something and laughed slyly, "Mouse, did you and Xiaoyanzi move to second base?"

He sharply noticed that the intimacy between the two had suddenly increased during this holiday, which didn’t happen for no reason.

Most likely, it was because they moved to second base.

And it probably happened on the night of my birthday.

Back then, Xiaoyanzi had an argument with Huang Panpan and left early in anger.

The honest man went after her to comfort her, Xiaoyanzi was touched, and after comparing him with myself, felt that a boy like Lu Haoran seemed more reliable, so they smoothly moved to second base.

Su Zelin, embodying Sherlock Holmes, made a bold hypothesis and then tested it with reasoning.

"No way! I didn’t! You’re overthinking it!"

The honest man, pressed by his best buddy, denied it in one breath, inadvertently confirming it.

Lu Haoran did want to share his joy with Su Zelin, but Xiaoyanzi wouldn’t allow it, so he had to keep it a secret.

However, covering up in front of the scoundrel was useless; the honest man was really bad at lying; you could easily hear it.

But Lu Haoran had improved from before. He changed the subject and asked in return, "Zelin, what about you and Shiqing, did you move to second base?"

"How could that be? I purely see Qin Shiqing as a sister, what are you thinking! Don’t compare me to that shameless brother from the last movie we watched!"

Su Zelin was furious; he felt that they were questioning his moral integrity.

This lie was smooth and natural. In fact, in a past life, Su Zelin specifically bought the most advanced lie detector and would frequently test himself with it until his lying skills were honed to perfection, even fooling himself before selling it on Xianyu.

Since then, he faced the sharp inquiries of the smartest girls with ease, never panicking, and always leaving the other party bewildered.

Yan Qiuwen, that intellectually superior bed partner, on the other hand, he wasn’t sure if he could fool her.

It would probably be difficult, but such a challenge was quite stimulating.

For some reason, Su Zelin suddenly thought of Ximen Chuixue.

The honest man thought, what are you thinking, rightly so. How could a normal guy treat such a pretty childhood friend as a sister?

If I and Xiaoyanzi got together, and Zelin and Shiqing got together, wouldn’t it be great if we all went out as a quartet?

Lu Haoran happily thought to himself.

After chatting with his best buddy for a bit, Su Zelin hung up the phone, feeling a great deal of emotion.

People do change, even Mouse had shifted his affections.

His clinging, inseparable state with Xiaoyanzi meant that even arranging to go online in the future would be difficult.

If that’s the case, there’s no need to go to the New Heaven and Earth Internet Cafe anymore, just set up a broadband connection at home.

In mid-2002, home broadband ADSL was still not widespread, but besides internet cafes and workplaces, individual households could also install it, although the cost was still high, a few hundred a month, totaling a few thousand a year, which ordinary families couldn’t afford.

For the likes of Su Zelin’s father-son household, the monthly expense of a few hundred was not much. In the words of Zeng Kaiping, "it’s just small change."

Returning home, Su Zelin hadn’t set up broadband because he thought surfing the internet at home wasn’t as much fun as going to the internet cafe with Lu Haoran. However, his buddy’s betrayal made him change his mind.

He should discuss it with his dad.

After all, he was the one paying.

Thinking of this, Su Zelin walked out of the living room.

Su Jianjun was drinking kung fu tea.

Sitting down at the table, drinking a cup of tea, the scoundrel smiled, "Dad, can we discuss something?"

Old Su felt a sense of dread just hearing him speak like this.

Knowing his son, it was likely some money-draining idea.

Su Jianjun used to think that age brings wisdom, but he later realized that Su Zelin wasn’t ginger, he was chili pepper.

Chili pepper is spicier than old ginger.

He reluctantly asked, "What is it?"
