"Don't~"
Miao Youxi sat on the seat, puffing with anger, secretly cursing these three untrustworthy women.
What good sisters? They're clearly plastic sisters.
I'm a girl, how could I let a boy accompany me to the bathroom?
[Name: Miao Youxi]
[Current Status: On a stormy night with thunder crashing, her best friends are too scared to go with her to the bathroom. She feels helpless and needs your help to comfort this childlike giant.]
In this situation, Lin Can, as a boy, would never take the initiative.
When a boy takes the initiative, the girl would think, "Does he have some ulterior motive?"
Girls are really troublesome.
Seeing her fidgeting, occasionally shivering with the urge to pee, she probably couldn't hold it for much longer.
This time, Lin Can chose to be passively helpful.
Boom—Boom—
Another round of thunder. The three little ones really weren't willing to go with her.
Miao Youxi held on for a few more seconds, but couldn't bear it anymore. With a red face, she whispered, "Lin Can, can you go with me to the bathroom?"
Lin Can looked at Chu Qingning.
Chu Qingning nodded and handed him the only umbrella in the car. If she went with Miao Youxi, the three of them would be drenched by the heavy rain in no time.
The two of them got out of the car with the umbrella, braving the heavy rain, and walked a little further.
Lin Can: "Here is fine, it's pitch dark, no one will see us."
Miao Youxi: "Turn around."
Because they only had one umbrella, Miao Youxi could only relieve herself behind Lin Can.
Miao Youxi really couldn't hold it anymore. As soon as Lin Can turned around, she squatted down.
Embarrassing. It was indeed very embarrassing.
But when nature calls, Miao Youxi had no choice.
Fortunately, Lin Can stood in front, unmoving, which made her feel at ease.
Boom—
The thunder and lightning lit up the dark night, and in that split second, the water puddle in front of Lin Can reflected the scenery behind him.
Lin Can: !!!
Soon, Miao Youxi shyly walked to Lin Can's side, lowering her head and softly saying, "Thank you, Lin Can."
"You're welcome. After all, I'm the only boy here, it's only natural for me to take care of you. Let's go."
"Mm."
The two of them walked back, holding the umbrella. Miao Youxi looked up at the 'justice-spirited' Lin Can, thinking he was quite a good person.
For a girl, the most important sense of appreciation for a boy often comes when the boy steps up to help when she's in need.
Moreover, Lin Can didn't tease her. His expression was normal, which gave her a sense of security.
What girls fear most is when a boy helps them, then thinks their relationship has improved and starts getting overly familiar. Girls would feel embarrassed.
Girls are really complicated.
"Ah~"
Miao Youxi, lost in thought, forgot the path and stepped into a puddle, nearly falling. Fortunately, Lin Can was quick and grabbed her arm, pulling her back. "Be careful."
"I wasn't paying attention." She pulled away from Lin Can's hand.
Seeing her shy expression, Lin Can didn't tease her about how she had been staring at him.
If he teased her, made fun of her, she'd go back and tell Chu Qingning. You know how best friends share everything, and that would give a bad impression. Right now, he needed to be the devoted and focused Lin Can, so they'd think he was a good person and be willing to be friends with him.
Of course, Lin Can was already a devoted and focused man.
"Ah… it hurts…"
Before they reached the car, they heard Chu Qingning's scream from inside the car.
"What's going on?"
The two of them quickly walked up, opened the car door, and saw Ai Yeze flicking Chu Qingning on the forehead.
"Ai Yeze, you've gone too far, flicking so hard that it turned red!"
"You scared me, I thought we were meeting a bad guy." After getting in the car, Lin Can helped Miao Youxi in and closed the door. "What are you all playing?"
Chu Qingning rubbed her forehead. "Ai Yeze said it was too boring and took out her 'Little Fairy' card game. If you lose, there's a punishment."
"What punishment? Let me see."
"No peeking! Or you have to join in. Dare to play, little boy?"
Lin Can: "What's there to be afraid of as a grown man? It's boring in the car anyway. Come on, let's all play."
Lin Can had played this kind of punishment card game before, during the time before the college entrance exam, to relax. He had lost once and faced a ridiculous punishment—sending the first girl in his WeChat contacts a message saying: "Can you take a photo in a JK uniform for me?"
At that time, the first girl in Lin Can's WeChat was Yang Wuluo.
His classmates thought the punishment was impossible, and that Yang Wuluo would report him to the discipline office. But Lin Can boldly sent it, and amazingly... Yang Wuluo sent him a picture of her in a JK uniform, with the message: "After the exams, help me shoot a set of photos."
The boys were all envious.
However, Ai Yeze's "Little Fairy Card Game" was clearly designed for best friends, and Lin Can was a bit curious about the punishments.
Ai Yeze: "You're really fearless, we'll keep it simple. We each draw a card, and if we match, we put it down. Whoever clears their hand first wins, and the loser has to accept a punishment card. The winner draws a punishment card, and the loser can't back out."
Lin Can shrugged: "Whatever, as long as you don't back out."
Ai Yeze: "Fine, I'll deal the cards."
...
In the first round, Ai Yeze cleared her hand first and quickly counted Lin Can's cards. Lin Can had one fewer card than Qiao Meina, meaning Qiao Meina lost this round.
Ai Yeze: "Meina, you're useless."
Lin Can smiled: "I figured it out, you're targeting me. You really want me to face a punishment?"
Ai Yeze smugly said: "Of course, not just you, I'm also targeting your Qingning."
Lin Can: "Stop talking nonsense, draw the punishment card, I want to see what Meina's punishment is."
Ai Yeze drew a punishment card. Qiao Meina leaned over to take a look. "No, no, I'll redraw."
"We agreed no cheating, show me."
Lin Can snatched the card. It read:
[Punishment: Deep kiss the winner's foot for 10 seconds.]
Lin Can: "Ah, this... The punishment in a fairy card game is so wild?"
Chu Qingning shook her head: "That's strange, we've played before, and there weren't any ridiculous tasks. The most we did was wear a maid outfit and dance, or put stockings on our heads. Why is it different this time?"
Lin Can: !!!
Stockings on the head?
Miao Youxi: "Ai Yeze just bought the latest version. The punishments are upgraded. I saw it earlier. There are even worse punishments."
Lin Can: !!!
Ai Yeze: "Meina, didn't you just call me names? Now, karma has come back. Start."
"Ai Yeze, just wait!" Qiao Meina reluctantly and unwillingly leaned in...
Ten seconds later.
"La la la la~" Ai Yeze was smug, feeling like she had vented her frustration, "Come on, let's keep going."
"Uh..." Lin Can raised his hand, "This game is for girls, and as a grown man, it's not appropriate for me. You all play, I won't."
Chu Qingning: "If Lin Can's not playing, I'm not playing either. This new punishment card is too extreme."
Miao Youxi: "If Qingning's not playing, I won't either."
Ai Yeze: "I've already won a round, I'm fine with it."
"No way!" Qiao Meina had a look of determination, "We must play! Deal the cards, do you hear me? Deal the cards—"
Lin Can and the others exchanged glances. If they didn't play now, Qiao Meina would definitely feel dissatisfied and might even burst into tears.
"Alright, let's continue..." Chu Qingning patted Lin Can's shoulder, "Ai Can, don't lose, okay? It'll be terrible if you do."
Lin Can: ???
