Chapter 40: The Rogue's Methods

  I drove Zhang Wei's car carefully to the beauty salon where Qin Ke was, although I had learned to drive and obtained a driver's license during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. But in the true sense of independent driving out, it was still the first time, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and the speed was not very fast, which formed a sharp contrast with those drivers who were bold and generous in Northeast China. After a brief period of adaptation, my mood gradually relaxed, and the speed also began to relax with my temperament.

  When the car stopped in front of that barber shop, I let out a deep breath and got off the car to walk towards the barber shop, ignoring the welcoming lady at the door who asked "Sir, do you want a haircut?" and walked straight towards Qin Ke who was sitting inside.

  "What?! How did you get here?" Qin Ke Yi, who was looking down at a magazine, raised her head and saw me standing behind her through the mirror, looking very surprised.

  "Is it done?"

  "Finally! The nutrition is done, just need to dye the noodles. What's up?" Qin Ke looked surprised at my arrival and even more perplexed by my question.

  "Go wash your hair quickly, don't dye it this time, there's something urgent!" I said as I pulled out the magazine from Qin Ke's hand and helped her up.

  "Hey! What's... what's going on!? Qin Ke was left bewildered by my inexplicable actions."

  "Hurry up and wash your hair. I'm waiting for you in Zhang Wei's car outside."

  "What's wrong?! What's going on?! Why the rush?! What are you doing?!" Qin Ke'er asked me with a questioning gaze.

  "It's an emergency, don't ask questions, go wash your hair quickly." I said in a commanding tone, then ignored Qin Ke's seemingly bewildered gaze and turned to walk towards the car outside.

  A few minutes later, Qin Ke came out of the hair salon with slightly damp hair, stood beside the car and looked at me through the window with a slightly cool gaze.

  "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get on the bus!" I slowly rolled down the window and said to Qin Ke.

  "What are you taking me to do, anyway? Tell me clearly, or I won't go!" Qin Ke said stubbornly to me.

  "Get on the bus first! Anyway, I'm not taking you to kill or set fires!" I said somewhat impatiently to Qin Ke.

  "Tell me clearly first!" Qin Ke still stood there, maintaining her stubbornness.

  "Qin Keyi, your current attitude is very dangerous, you are challenging my patience."

  "What? You're still threatening me? Are you trying to use your despicable and rascal methods to force me into submission again?" Qin Ke said in a strange tone.

  "Hah! You're really clever! I admit that's a despicable trick, but it's the most effective method at this stage." I said with a smile as I opened the car door and got out. Qin Ke Yi seemed to sense something from my movements and let out an "Ah!" as she turned around to run, but unfortunately, she was a step too slow. Before she could react, I had already rushed over and grabbed her arm, then bent down and picked her up for the second time. Thanks to my previous experience, this time's action was completed relatively smoothly. Qin Ke Yi continued to struggle on my shoulder like before, accompanied by cries of "Let me go!" I ignored the familiar sounds and carried her to the front passenger seat, opened the door, stuffed her inside, then closed the door and locked it with the car key from the outside. I remained unmoved by Qin Ke Yi's frantic pounding on the glass window. At this time, several people walked out of the hair salon, looking at me and Qin Ke Yi's commotion with puzzled eyes.

  "Hmm... this is my girlfriend, we had a fight. Sorry to make you guys laugh. Hehe!" I said to the onlookers while walking around the front of the car towards the driver's side.

  Qin Keyi started exerting her violence on me after I got into the car, but was stopped by my effective means. Then she glared at me angrily.

  "Fasten your seatbelt." I said to Qin Ke who was glaring at me.

  "Can't you come up with a more innovative way?! Must you be so shameless?! There are so many people on the street, aren't you afraid of losing face?!" Qin Ke yelled at me.

  "Ah! Good! Next time! Next time I'll definitely change to a more refreshing point, guaranteeing your satisfaction!" I smiled and gave Qin Ke a definite answer.

  "Get out!" Qin Ke smiled at me after hearing my words, then forcibly withdrew his smile and pretended to be angry, asking me, "Now tell me! Where are you going to take me?"

  "Let's go mountain climbing!" I said after uttering these two words, and then started the car.

  "Climb up!!!!! With our team together!" Qin Ke asked with a bit of surprise.

  "Yes! Guo Cheng told me yesterday too! I reckon they've set off by now, so let's head straight to Maoer Mountain!"

  "I... I won't go!" Qin Ke turned his head towards the car window and said with some embarrassment.

  "Staying in this noisy concrete environment every day is not good for the body, we need to timely immerse ourselves in nature's embrace and feel its breath! Don't worry, Guo Cheng told me everything. I just don't understand, you have such an outstanding guy by your side, with two experiences of pretending to be your boyfriend, why didn't you ask me to accompany you first? Although I might refuse your request, as a comrade-in-arms under the same roof, I would still consider it seriously." I said to Qin Ke with a smile.

  "You... what did you say, I don't understand! How strange! Big idiot!" Qin Ke said with a somewhat red face.

  "Don't understand? Never mind, just pretend I'm asking you to accompany me then."

  "But... but I haven't prepared anything, how can I go?"

  "Don't worry, I've prepared everything for you." I said and pointed to the back seat. Qin Ke turned around and saw the bag on the back seat, picked it up, opened it and rummaged through the things inside.

  "Kang Jian!!!! You dare to rummage through my closet!!!!! Qin Ke suddenly looked up with wide eyes after seeing her exercise clothes, and shouted at me in a slightly trembling voice."

  "No way! It's an extraordinary period, after all! We have to use extraordinary measures!" Qin Ke heard my words and slammed me with her bag, scolding "Bastard" to calm down the anger in her heart. Then she put the bag back on the back seat and sat there, panting.

  "Hey! Have you been to Maoer Mountain?" I asked Qin Ke after a long silence.

  "No!!" Qin Ke Yi replied with a hard tone and brief words.

  "I haven't been there either! Do you know how to get there?"

  "I don't know!!" Qin Ke still maintained his tone from just now.

  "There's a map in the bag, if you don't want us to spend the whole day wandering around like fools, you'd better take it out and have a look." Half a day after I said this, Qin Kaiyi finally turned around with a huff and pulled out the map. So I started driving in the direction of Mao'er Mountain according to Qin Kaiyi's directions.
