Chapter 286 Getting drunk is fine

After staying up all night, Jiang Man slept until the afternoon, and only then did he remember to help Qin Zhao pursue someone.

The day before she left, she invited Qin Zhao to a live house.

When Qin Zhao saw the location she sent, he remembered the bar where she had booked the male model last time, and his eyelids twitched: "Forget it, I'm still pursuing someone."

Jiang Manmin retorted, "What are you thinking? This is a proper live house."

Qin Zhao figured she was leaving tomorrow anyway, so he let her be: "Won't this make your flight tomorrow too late?"

"No," Jiang Man waved his hand dismissively. "At worst, we can just reschedule."

Live houses are different from traditional bars; they're centered around bands. Today's show is a mixed performance with several bands.

Jiang Man first ordered himself a special cocktail, while Qin Zhao ordered a glass of juice.

Jiang Man didn't forget the important matter: "Where are you at now?"

"..."

Qin Zhao looked at her helplessly, and Jiang Man said "fine": "You two have already kissed, doesn't Shen Yanci have anything to say?"

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and shook his head: "It's probably because he didn't dodge last time."

"Wow, Zhao Zhao," Jiang Man exclaimed in amazement. "You've done this before, and it's not like it's the first time."

Qin Zhao moved his mouth slightly, then closed it again.

Jiang Man didn't tease her: "Actually, what I don't understand is that Shen Yanci didn't show any reaction. I don't think he's the passive type."

"He doesn't like me, so it's normal that he doesn't take the initiative." Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes and stirred her drink with the straw.

“He doesn’t like you!” Jiang Man scoffed. “I think he’s liked you since high school.”

Qin Zhao paused for a moment, then looked up at her.

Jiang Man was a little embarrassed: "But you were a boy back then... so I was too embarrassed to say that."

Qin Zhao: "So, now? Does he like me?"

"I like it." Jiang Man's eyes sparkled when she started shipping the couple. "You have no idea what his eyes looked like when he was interrupted from kissing you that day."

"He looked at you first, then looked at the speakers with displeasure, his eyes full of dissatisfaction at being disturbed."

"Tsk, divine quality, truly divine quality."

Qin Zhao didn't understand how Jiang Man came to the conclusion that he liked her from this, and she didn't really want to discuss the details.

If Shen Yanci didn't dodge her kiss, then there must be some kind of connection between them.

That day, it didn't seem to be entirely her initiative.

She lowered her eyes: "Sometimes I feel like he might like me."

Jiang Man: "Remove the feeling and the seeming."

“Let me tell you,” Jiang Man said seriously, “if he really doesn’t show any reaction, even though he is Shen Yanci, you have to give him the cold shoulder. You can’t be too proactive.”

Qin Zhao listened.

Jiang Man: "You're too proactive. He thinks he can control you, and that makes him more likely to take advantage of you."

"Dating is about flirting, not chasing."

She shared her experience: "And you've been together for so long now, and he still hasn't made a move. It's time to give him some space and make him feel a little threatened."

“I still feel something is wrong that he doesn’t take the initiative; it doesn’t fit the character I’m shipping.” She’s still rational in real life. She took out her phone and said, “Let me ask him for you.”

Qin Zhao was taken aback.

Jiang Man was very experienced: "I asked Kuang Xu, but I didn't say it was you."

Qin Zhao: "What are you asking?"

Ask him if he has a girlfriend, how many girlfriends he has had, and his sexual orientation.

"Female, single." Qin Zhao stirred her juice, the ice cubes making a crisp sound as they hit the glass. "I don't know how many I've dated."

She said, "I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me."

“This situation is easy to analyze,” Jiang Man smiled slightly. “It’s either a lot or none.”

She could faintly smell the melon, as if there was something she hadn't dug out.

She ignored it for the moment and sent a message to Kuang Xu.

Kuang Xu replied succinctly: "Is this asking on your behalf, or on behalf of your friend?"

Jiang Man: "Is there any difference?"

Kuang Xu: "As for you, there's no chance, don't even think about it."

"..." Jiang Man: "On behalf of my friend."

Kuang Xu: "Let her ask Shen Yanci."

Jiang Man was speechless: "If Shen Yanci wanted to tell you, would he need to ask you?"

Kuang Xu spat out a mouthful of water. What was there to hide?

Shen Yanci is really quite the repressed pervert. Does he feel ashamed?
He typed: "So what does your friend think? Does she like him a little, or has she fallen for him?"

Jiang Mancai wasn't one to be trifled with: "I'm considering whether or not I should like him."

The person on the other end typed for a while, then fell silent.

After a while, a message popped up—

"Your friend is really something, pursuing someone without even knowing if you like them."

Jiang Man felt that his tone had changed: "It's only impressive if you catch up."

Two minutes later, the reply came: "He has always had someone in his heart."

"Your relationship was very difficult in the first half. If your friend takes the initiative, you'll definitely get her."

Jiang Man carefully considered these words and concluded: "He has a crush on you."

"If they won't say how many relationships they've had, it's definitely because they're embarrassed; 99.9% of the time, they haven't had any."

Qin Zhao curled his fingers slightly as he looked at her.

Jiang Man nodded affirmatively.

Folk music begins to play, melodious yet tinged with a touch of melancholy.

Jiang Man looked at the bassist at the bar: "We'll find out once we get some excitement."

"Manman," Qin Zhao called to her, "how should I apologize to others?"

"Just say sorry," Jiang Manzheng casually replied, already plotting her grand plan. "And buy some gifts, maybe act all cute or something."

She paused for a moment: "Apologize to whom?"

Qin Zhao tapped the rim of the cup with his fingers: "Shen Yanci."

Why apologize to him?

"I said some very bad things before."

Jiang Man's expression became slightly more serious: "What did you say?"

"Can not remember."

Jiang Man sighed, "If you can't even remember, he probably forgot long ago."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips.

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment: "Is it when you take your medicine?"

She remembered that during that time, Qin Zhao's family members were not in good condition.

Qin Zhao: "One month or half a month before taking the medicine?"

“You were already in a bad state at the time. If you tell him, he will understand.” Jiang Man raised her chin. “You can also take the opportunity to play the victim. He might not even have time to feel sorry for you.”

"I don't want it to be like this. I don't want him to treat me like my mother and father do."

Seeing that she didn't look relaxed, Jiang Man comforted her, "Then you should apologize to him."

Qin Zhao mentally simulated it for a moment, then sighed, "I find it a little hard to say."

Jiang Man hissed, his gaze falling on the wine glass: "It's fine if you get drunk."

"I can't drink alcohol."

"I didn't ask you to actually drink it."

Jiang Man snapped her fingers, and the waiter came over. She ordered a glass of non-alcoholic gin, Seedlip Grove 42.

She said, "When the time comes, you should pretend to be drunk, then apologize to him. Then kiss him, and once the atmosphere is right, ask him who he is and if he likes you."

"You must approach him subtly and flirt with him until he confesses his feelings to you."

"We must take him down today!"
