Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 856 - 354: A Confession Under the Moonlight

After a while, Zheng Yanyan suddenly reacted and said, "Wait a minute, Zhou Yuwen, did you just kiss her!?"

Su Qing immediately responded, "Well, Zhou Yuwen kissed you too!"

Zheng Yanyan said, "That's different!"

"How is it different?"

"Because I'm—!"

Before Zheng Yanyan could finish, Su Qing cut in, "Aren't you both exes?"

"What?"

The words stunned Zheng Yanyan momentarily; she felt it kind of made sense in a weird way.

Seeing Zheng Yanyan like that, Su Qing continued, "Anyway, we already agreed earlier that I'd help you get through this by pretending Zhou Yuwen is my boyfriend."

"It's just temporary."

"Temporary or not, I don't care if Zhou Yuwen kissed you."

With just a couple of sentences, Zheng Yanyan was left speechless and could only look pitifully at Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen said to Su Qing, "Alright, don't bully her."

Su Qing looked rather pleased and said she wasn't bullying her.

Zhou Yuwen hugged Zheng Yanyan and said, "Yanyan is like a little sister; you should take care of her."

"I don't want a big sister like this." Zheng Yanyan took the opportunity to hug Zhou Yuwen's waist and pouted.

Su Qing replied that she wouldn't want a little sister like this, either.

The two bickered for a while, and Zhou Yuwen said, "First, let's deal with Yanyan's mom, then I'll take you both out for a walk."

"Did you bring your pajamas?"

"Yeah, I brought them."

And so, Zhou Yuwen took both girls out. Originally, the plan was to go to the side room and video call Mrs. Zheng to deal with her. But since they needed to drop Su Qing off anyway, it seemed more convincing to do the video call in Su Qing's room for authenticity.

Yang Lijuan noticed that the two girls who were at odds earlier suddenly seemed so harmonious as they came downstairs. Curiously, she wondered what kind of charm this troublemaking kid possessed to get these two girls to stop arguing.

They drove from Zhou Yuwen's house to Su Qing's place, tidied up a little, and Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan changed into pajamas to video call Mrs. Zheng.

On the video call, the two girls were in pajamas, hugging each other like close sisters.

Mrs. Zheng noted that Su Qing didn't seem like a bad girl. After confirming with their counselor over the phone that there was indeed a Su Qing in the class—who studied well and was indeed roommates with Yanyan—their bond seemed genuine.

Looking at the background environment, though small, it felt cozy.

Su Qing's manner also seemed well-behaved as she politely called her "Auntie" over and over.

Mrs. Zheng felt reassured and said to Su Qing, "Xiao Su, I'm entrusting Yanyan to you."

"When school starts, I'll visit you both and bring you gifts."

"No need, Auntie,"

Su Qing quickly waved her hands, but the matter was still settled.

After hanging up, the three spent a little more time at Su Qing's house until Pan Min returned from work. Seeing so many people gathered at home, Pan Min became curious.

Zheng Yanyan glanced at Pan Min and was momentarily stunned. She truly hadn't expected Su Qing's mom to be so young, with an undeniably good figure—a kind of voluptuousness.

The quality of composure etched on Pan Min's features, seasoned by time, was enough to make even a girl like Zheng Yanyan blush.

Pan Min was curious about the extra person at home.

As they had previously agreed, Su Qing calmly explained that Zheng Yanyan was her classmate who had come over for a visit.

Hearing this, Pan Min was quite welcoming and said, "Oh, you should've told me earlier! If you had, I would've taken the day off to take your classmate out for a meal."

"No, no, Auntie, I just wanted to visit for a couple of days. Please don't trouble yourself."

Zheng Yanyan quickly waved her hands.

Both girls handled the parents gracefully, leaving everyone satisfied.

Then, Zhou Yuwen mentioned that it was getting late.

"We should head back now."

"Alright."

As for Zheng Yanyan staying at Zhou Yuwen's house, there was no need to hide it. Since Zhou Yuwen's house had plenty of rooms, and Pan Min knew about it, it wasn't a big deal. Besides, Zhou Yuwen's house was practically like a small hotel, so there wasn't much of an issue.

Still, Pan Min politely suggested they stay at her place.

After declining, she didn't insist.

Su Qing then walked them downstairs.

On their way down, Su Qing praised Zheng Yanyan for her performance earlier, "Not bad! I didn't realize you'd be so good at acting."

Zheng Yanyan scoffed and replied, "Same goes for you."

"Speaking of acting, who could beat you, huh?"

At that moment, Zhou Yuwen threw an arm around each of their necks and said, "Alright, let me be the judge. Both of you did great. How about a reward—a kiss each?"

"Haha!"

As Zhou Yuwen leaned in for a kiss, both girls shyly dodged.

If it had been one-on-one, perhaps neither of them would've felt shy, but with everyone present, it just felt awkward.

Though they dodged, both girls giggled and didn't seem to mind Zhou Yuwen's gesture of having his arms around them.

Afterwards, Su Qing went back upstairs.

Zhou Yuwen took Zheng Yanyan home.

With the night settling in, Zhou Yuwen couldn't stay in Zheng Yanyan's room for too long—people might gossip.

Even though Zheng Yanyan was reluctant to let him go, she could only pout and let Zhou Yuwen leave.

After settling Zheng Yanyan in her room, Zhou Yuwen returned to his own place. On the way, he was intercepted by his father, Zhou Guobin, who was wearing a coat.

Zhou Guobin asked Zhou Yuwen, "Where were you just now, this late at night?"

Zhou Yuwen replied, "I was taking Su Qing home."

"Oh, come into the study with me."

Saying that, Zhou Guobin went into the study first.

Zhou Yuwen followed him in.

Actually, Zhou Guobin didn't say much, just discussed topics around responsibility, then asked Zhou Yuwen, "What's the deal with this girl from the Capital city?"
