Chapter 268 What is an Internet Cafe?

Huang Cangran sent a text message but never received a reply, and he became increasingly impatient.

He ran and knocked on the door again.

As soon as Zhuge Qinuo heard the knock on the door - not too loud but revealing dissatisfaction - he knew without thinking that it was Huang Cangran.

She really didn't want to open the door, but there were some things that couldn't be avoided. After all, this was Huang Cangran's home.

She put on her pajamas and opened the door.

She didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say, nor was he willing to stand outside.

"No one's calling?" Huang Cangran said as he walked into the room.

"Brother Cangran!" Zhuge Qinuo frowned, just as he wished.

"That's it?" Huang Cangran didn't believe that she called him sincerely.

He was right.

"What else?" Zhuge Qinuo thought to himself.

But he was very obedient: "Brother Cangran wants me to say something? Or do you have something to say?"

"You?" Huang Cangran frowned, "I'm not that old. And, talking is talking, what do you mean by what I want you to say?"

Zhuge Qinuo continued to remain silent.

"You're so polite, but why don't you reply to my text message? You say one thing in front of people and another behind their backs." Huang Cangran continued to be sarcastic.

Zhuge Qinuo is younger than him, but she is not stupid. She is like this because she has no choice but to give in to him in her current situation. She is not a soft persimmon.

"Text message?" She played dumb, "Oh, let me see."

Then he went to get his phone from the bedside table.

Huang Cangran: "I'm already here? Are you still reading text messages?"

She just pretended not to hear: "My pager, my father asked me to bring it to school, so it has been silent. Usually I only use it to call my father and godmother."

This is true.

She also touched her phone while talking, and then...

"Brother Cangran, okay." she said.

Huang Cangran was a little confused: "What can I do?"

"Just as you said." Zhuge Qinuo handed the phone to Huang Cangran, "Should I call back?"

Huang Cangran was about to get angry: "No need."

"Is there anything else I need to do?" Zhuge Qinuo asked in a calm voice.

But the more Huang Cangran thought about it, the more she felt that she was being so cautious and was trying hard to hide her fear: "I want you to do something? You're pretending to be pitiful again."

"You guessed it right." Zhuge Qinuo answered in his heart but said nothing. He just watched her eyes slowly droop.

Huang Cangran couldn't stand her being timid and submissive, and even more so her expression of resignation.

He was a little panicked, afraid that she would cry: "Hey, are you afraid of me?"

"No!" Zhuge Qinuo replied quickly.

"Tell the truth!" Huang Cangran deliberately used a threatening tone.

"Really not." Zhuge Qinuo raised his eyes and looked at Huang Cangran seriously.

And this was indeed her truth. Afraid of him? Impossible.

"Go to sleep!" Huang Cangran felt that Zhuge Qinuo was too scared to say it, and seemed to have gotten a satisfactory answer, so he decided to let her go.

Zhuge Qinuo: "Brother Cangran, you should go to bed early too."

Huang Cangran: “Yeah!”

This "hmm" can be said to be the most gentle word Zhuge Qinuo has said since he met Huang Cangran.

She smiled at him, waved her hand gently, and closed the door softly.

Huang Cangran also felt relieved. Looking back, he felt that his targeting was a little ridiculous, but when he thought about it again, he still found it very interesting.

After this night, Zhuge Qinuo's existence was finally no longer a thorn in Huang Cangran's side.

They spent some time together just like before, but because his words were less sharp, she felt more comfortable. He still often took her out to eat, drink and have fun. There were several times when her classmates wanted to go to the Internet cafe, but Huang Cangran didn't go because she had to take Zhuge Qinuo home.

Finally, on a Saturday, while Huang Cangran was in a good mood after dinner with friends, Zhuge Qinuo couldn't help but ask.

Zhuge Qinuo: "Brother Cangran, what is an Internet cafe? Why do I have to go there every time?"

Huang Cangran: "It's not something you kids can ask about."

Zhuge Qinuo: "Is it a place where students are not allowed to enter and cannot go?"

Huang Cangran: “Yes.”

Zhuge Qinuo: "You are also a student, why can you go?"

Huang Cangran: "I always have a way."

Zhuge Qinuo: "What are you going to do in an Internet cafe?"

Huang Cangran: “Let’s play!”

Zhuge Qinuo: "What are you playing?"

Huang Cangran sighed. Zhuge Qinuo thought he was going to be disliked again, but he actually answered: "There are a lot of computers where you can play games."

Zhuge Qinuo: "What game?"

Huang Cangran: “There are all kinds of games.”

Zhuge Qinuo: "If you want to play, why can't you take me with you? I don't have to play, I just want to watch you play."

Huang Cangran: "It's full of smoke and dirt inside, it's not a place for a good student like you to go."

Zhuge Qinuo: "Then why do you want to go?"

Huang Cangran gave a murderous look. Disdainful and impatient, late but arrived.

Zhuge Qinuo just couldn't stop asking questions for a moment, and now he realized that he had asked too many questions, so he shrank his head.

"Because I'm bored and want to play games. Because I'm not a good student." He still answered.

Zhuge Qinuo: "Isn't it because that sister called you that you wanted to go?"

Huang Cangran nodded her head: "What are you thinking about?"

Zhuge Qinuo pretended to be innocent and expressed her true thoughts: "But that sister always wants you to go more than other brothers."

"That sister? She's so nice to you, but you can't even remember her name. You're such a heartless person." Huang Cangran shook his head helplessly, "Also, you've been a bit talkative today."

It was rare that Huang Cangran's disdain was not reflected in his tone, and Zhuge Qinuo also knew when to stop.

It was winter, the wind was very cold, and the two people were walking very quickly.

Finally we got home and went back to our rooms as usual.

The night was uneventful.

At some unknown time, Zhuge Qinuo heard voices in a daze. They were Feng Ping and Huang Yujian.

Feng Ping: "Going out again?"

Huang Yujian: “Yes!”

Feng Ping: "As a father, if you don't take care of it now, what will you do in the future?"

Huang Yujian: "It's not the first time. It's good to know you're coming back."

Feng Ping: "It would be great if this son could be half as obedient as Xiao Nuo."

Huang Yujian: "Son! He shouldn't be too bad or too rebellious. Fortunately, he's not stupid. At most, we can just work harder."

Feng Ping: "It is because you think so that he is lawless."

Then Feng Ping sighed deeply.

Zhuge Qinuo heard these words quite clearly.

It turns out that Huang Cangran is this kind of Huang Cangran. It's not that he doesn't go to the Internet cafe anymore, but he always sneaks out in the middle of the night.

Sneak out in the middle of the night! His behavior renewed Zhuge Qinuo's understanding of the sentence "Because I am not a good student".

Of course, what she wanted to do next also broke her perception of herself.
