Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 858 - 354: A Confession Under the Moonlight

After a long pause, Zheng Yanyan suddenly reacted and said, "Wait a second, Zhou Yuwen, did you just... kiss her!?"

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

Zheng Yanyan said, "But that's different!"

"How is it different?"

"Because I am—"

Before Zheng Yanyan could finish, Su Qing said, "Aren't you both ex-girlfriends?"

"?"

The remark left Zheng Yanyan momentarily stunned, realizing there might actually be some truth to it.

Su Qing, seeing her reaction, continued, "Besides, we already agreed earlier that I'd help you get through this by pretending Zhou Yuwen is my boyfriend."

"That's temporary."

"Even if it's temporary, it still counts. I don't mind Zhou Yuwen kissing you."

With just a few words, Zheng Yanyan was rendered speechless, left only to pitifully look towards Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen said to Su Qing, "Alright, stop bullying her."

Su Qing seemed rather happy, saying 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 sister like this," Zheng Yanyan said poutingly, hugging Zhou Yuwen's waist.

Su Qing also expressed that she didn't want a sister like her.

After some playful bickering, Zhou Yuwen said, "Let's deal with Yanyan's mom first, and then I'll take you both out."

"Did you bring your pajamas?"

"Yeah, I brought them."

And so, Zhou Yuwen led the two girls out together. Originally, the plan was to use the side room to video call Mrs. Zheng to pass things off, but since they were already taking Su Qing home, it made sense to do the video call in her room—it would seem more convincing.

Yang Lijuan noticed that the two girls who had been at odds earlier now seemed so harmonious coming downstairs together. She couldn't help but feel curious, wondering what charm her rascal of a son had to make these two girls get along so well.

Driving from Zhou Yuwen's house to Su Qing's, they tidied up a bit, and Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan changed into pajamas before video calling Mrs. Zheng.

In the video call, the two girls hugged each other in their pajamas, looking like close sisters.

Mrs. Zheng noted that Su Qing didn't appear to be a bad girl. Moreover, she had already called the school counselor earlier to confirm that there was indeed a girl named Su Qing in the class who had good grades. The two of them were roommates and seemed to share a close bond.

Seeing the background environment—it might be small, but it was warm and cozy.

Su Qing also seemed quite sweet, politely calling her "Auntie" repeatedly.

This reassured Mrs. Zheng, who then said to Su Qing, "Well, Su, take good care of Yanyan."

"When the semester starts, Auntie will come visit you both and bring gifts."

"No need for that, Auntie," Su Qing quickly waved her hand, but the arrangement was already set.

After hanging up the call, the three stayed at Su Qing's house for a while and were greeted by Pan Min after she returned from work. Pan Min, seeing so many people gathered at home, couldn't help but feel curious.

Zheng Yanyan froze for a moment upon seeing Pan Min. She truly hadn't expected Su Qing's mother to be so young, and her figure was stunning, exuding a curvy sensuality.

Pan Min's demeanor carried a refined charm that only comes with age, making even young girls like Zheng Yanyan blush.

Pan Min wondered why there was an extra person at the house.

As per their prior discussion, Su Qing confidently explained that Zheng Yanyan was her classmate, visiting for a couple of days.

Pan Min seemed very welcoming, even saying, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I'd known sooner, I would've taken a day off to bring your classmate out for a meal."

"No, no, Auntie, I just came here to hang out for a couple of days. Please don't trouble yourself," Zheng Yanyan quickly said, waving her hand.

Faced with both sets of parents, both girls behaved politely, leaving everyone satisfied.

Then Zhou Yuwen said it was getting late.

"We should head back now."

"Alright."

The fact that Zheng Yanyan was staying at Zhou Yuwen's house wasn't concealed, as his house was large enough, and Pan Min was already aware of it. Besides, Zhou Yuwen's house basically felt like a small hotel to them—there was no issue with staying there.

Still, Pan Min politely offered, "Why not stay here instead?"

After it was declined, she didn't press the matter.

Afterward, Su Qing escorted them downstairs.

Su Qing was pleased with Zheng Yanyan's behavior earlier and praised her as they descended, "Not bad! I didn't realize you're such a good actress."

Zheng Yanyan scoffed, "Right back at you."

"Speaking of acting, who could possibly compete with you?"

At this point, Zhou Yuwen slung his arms around both of their necks and said, "Alright, let me weigh in—you're both fantastic. Come, a kiss for each of you as a reward."

"Hehehe!"

As Zhou Yuwen leaned in for the kisses, the two girls shyly dodged away.

If it had been one-on-one, they probably wouldn't have been embarrassed, but since there were people around, it just felt awkward.

Though they dodged, both girls laughed and didn't seem to mind Zhou Yuwen holding them like this.

Afterward, Su Qing headed back upstairs.

Zhou Yuwen took Zheng Yanyan home.

As night fell, Zhou Yuwen couldn't stay in Zheng Yanyan's room for too long; otherwise, people would gossip.

Though Zheng Yanyan didn't want him to leave, she eventually had to let go of Zhou Yuwen, pouting in reluctance.

After settling Zheng Yanyan in, Zhou Yuwen returned to his own home, only to be stopped halfway by his father, wearing a coat. Zhou Guobin asked Zhou Yuwen where he had been so late.

Zhou Yuwen answered, "I just sent Su Qing home."

"Oh, come with me for a moment."

With that, Zhou Guobin led the way into the study.

Zhou Yuwen followed him inside.

It turned out Zhou Guobin didn't say much, only bringing up some topics about responsibility. Then he asked Zhou Yuwen, "So, what's the story with this girl from the Capital city?"
