Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

Chapter 116 Social Gathering

Qin Weiming wasn't disappointed; he had expected it. He felt there was still some distance between him and Joey Wong. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, so he turned to Tung Chee-hwa and said, "You see, it's hopeless. I invited her in front of you."

"Alright then, let's leave it at that." Tung Chee-hwa was at a loss. Qin Weiming had indeed extended an invitation, but Joey Wong completely ignored him. What could he do?

Speaking of which, Qin Weiming recalled what Dong Jianhua had mentioned about the other pretty girls at the arts school: "You could ask other pretty girls out, shall we go and ask them together?"

"Hey, this one works too." Tung Chee-hwa immediately got excited. Even if he couldn't get Wang Zuxian, he wouldn't be disappointed. There were other people as backup options. Everyone got excited when the topic came up, and having a pretty girl around was better than having only guys.

Wang Zuxian glanced at the two men suspiciously. They weren't down at all; on the contrary, they were excitedly discussing something, which gave her a bad feeling.

What struck her as odd was that, whether it was Qin Weiming or Dong Jianhua, they seemed to sense something and would immediately stop talking or lower their voices.

"What are these two up to?" Looking back, Joey Wong felt that these two were definitely doing something behind her back that they couldn't let her know.

That's how people are; the more you try to hide something from her, the more she wants to know.

When Qin Weiming was honest with Wang Zuxian, she didn't bother to listen. But when he kept things from her, she became eager to know what he was doing behind her back.

"Hey you two, what exactly were you discussing behind my back?" Joey Wong was a little puzzled. She had sensed that the two of them were acting strangely before, and now it was confirmed.

"We didn't say anything." Qin Weiming and Dong Jianhua exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat bewildered.

They hadn't spoken to Joey Wong before, so when she suddenly asked them, they had no idea what she was asking.

"It's nothing. They're being so secretive. They must be doing something behind my back that they don't want me to know." Wang Zuxian snorted. She knew the two of them's habits, and they would only act so obediently at times like this.

"Alright, alright, stop loitering around here. Let's continue our conversation. Jianhua, you go on." Qin Weiming chuckled. He found the things that fat Dong Jianhua did most interesting, unaware that Wang Zuxian's gaze was constantly drifting towards them.

Tung Chee-hwa hesitated to continue, saying, "Well, Ming, how about we stop here? I don't feel good about this anyway, so let's not go on. Otherwise, Xiao Xian might get upset."

"But we didn't do anything. We just invited a female classmate to your house, not mine. What's wrong with that? Jianhua, you haven't even won over Joey Wong yet, and you're already scared," Qin Weiming said meaningfully.

Tung Chee-hwa jumped three feet high: "Heaven and earth bear witness, I never had any thoughts about her. I just thought she was pretty and wanted to take a second look. Other than that, I didn't dare look at anything else. Old Qin, let's be honest, just tell me, don't you want to take a second look at a pretty girl?"

"Okay, okay, you say what you want, don't get so worked up." Qin Weiming quickly grabbed Dong Jianhua's shoulder and scolded in a low voice, "Are you a rabbit? You're so good at jumping around."

"How did you know?" Tung Chee-hwa was dumbfounded.

Qin Weiming twitched his lips. He really hadn't expected that his casual remark would lead him to Dong Jianhua's age.

The two of them were making a ruckus here, almost attracting the teacher's attention. If they were made to stand at the back as punishment, Qin Weiming would feel extremely wronged. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was inexplicably punished and made to stand at the back.

"I think they're acting all mysterious, like they're hiding something from me." Joey Wong was even more dissatisfied. She always had the feeling that these two were secretly doing something big behind her back.

However, there was nothing she could do now; she could only stand there, feeling frustrated, staring at them.

Qin Weiming and Tung Chee-hwa exchanged a glance, but neither dared to say anything.

Later, the two of them secretly invited other girls to Dong Jianhua's house to play, and they naturally had a lot of fun.

Moreover, for most people, it's not a big deal that teenagers like to play video games. After all, we are all kids, and it's normal for us to enjoy playing some games.

Just considering Qin Weiming and Dong Jianhua, it's fair that they invited two female classmates this time: Bai Bing and Jiang Min, who is a classmate.

We all see each other all the time, and I also knew that another female classmate would be there, so I felt relatively at ease when I went.

The fewer people there are, the safer it is. After playing together, Jiang Min and Bai Min were quite impressed with the two of them.

At least Qin Weiming and Dong Jianhua didn't seem as unreliable as they were in class. At home, they took care of the two female classmates as much as possible, preparing food and drinks for them, including things like tissues that the girls needed.

Qin Weiming even specially found two novels by Qiong Yao and Yi Shu and placed them there. He also inquired about Jiang Min's preferences and got her two Wesley and Gu Long novels: "If you don't like romance novels, then read these. I saw these two on your desk last time."

"Why did you think of preparing this for me?" Jiang Min asked, somewhat surprised. It was actually only her second time visiting her male classmate's house.

Qin Weiming pointed to the television in front of him, which Dong Jianhua had prepared in advance: "We'll play games, and if you get bored but feel embarrassed to leave, we'll have something to keep you entertained."

"Haha, how come I never noticed how thoughtful you are?" Jiang Min laughed immediately. She really hadn't thought that Qin Weiming had this side to him.

Previously, Jiang Min only remembered Qin Weiming as a male classmate who was close to Wang Zuxian and didn't flaunt his relationship with her in class. He seemed very low-key at other times.

However, after visiting Tung Chee-hwa's home, Jiang Min felt that she had seen a different side of Qin Weiming.

We had a great time playing games at Tung Chee-hwa's house in the afternoon. Because his family had prepared plenty of food and drinks, even though the two girls didn't like playing games, they could still eat sunflower seeds and snacks, and discuss poetry and distant places with Qin Weiming.

To Jiang Min's surprise, Qin Weiming actually knew these things. When he talked to her about Gu Long, Yi Shu, and even Eileen Chang, the way Jiang Min looked at him was completely different from before.

"I've never heard you mention this in class before. Those boys don't like reading either, but they all say they've loved reading since they were little." Jiang Min was a little incredulous. In the short time she had talked with Qin Weiming, she could sense that Qin Weiming's knowledge of these books was probably much deeper than her own.

Although Tung Chee-hwa would sometimes run to Qin Weiming for help when he was stuck, Jiang Min was surprised: "You can play video games?"
