Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 418: Giving You a Chance Is Useless
The chicken wing was practically touching my mouth; I couldn't refuse it.

Ai Liang had no choice but to take a bite of the roasted chicken wing and put on disposable gloves.

The two sat cross-legged on the carpet beside the coffee table with their backs to the sofa, completely unaware of the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes coming from behind them.

Yi Wenna hugged the cushion tightly, gazing longingly at Ye Qing.

Unfortunately, neither of them looked back until they picked up the last skewer of grilled chicken wings.

"Serves you right for not agreeing! Serves you right for not agreeing! It's just a few chicken wings, how much weight can you gain?"

Yi Wenna pinched the cushion hard from behind, deeply regretting her decision to refuse Qing's suggestion to have a late-night snack together after dinner.

She had assumed Ai Liang wouldn't be there today, especially since it was raining heavily outside.

Even if Ye Qing wanted to eat barbecue, she wouldn't go to the food street herself like she did a couple of days ago.

But who knew that Ai Liang would actually come back tonight?

'You! Ai Liang has been willing to stay with you until this late, can't you at least have the guts to let her stay overnight!'

Yi Wenna sketched Yang Xingyue's figure in her mind, muttering to herself with a sense of disappointment.

Her feelings at that moment were comparable to being defeated in a game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with two bombs in hand, only to be instantly defeated by seventeen cards.

After finishing the barbecue, Ye Qing tidied up the chicken bones on the coffee table and joked, "Speaking of which, A Liang, you actually came back? You even watched a movie, why didn't you stay at someone else's house for the night?"

"...Then why did you ask me to bring you roasted chicken wings?" Ai Liang looked at Ye Qing with a sullen face.

Ye Qing chuckled awkwardly, "I was just saying, actually I was just about to order takeout."

Then she suddenly raised her hand and poked Ai Liang's cheek with her fingernail: "I didn't expect you to actually remember this."

Ai Liang quickly slapped Ye Qing's hand away: "You must keep your promises to others; that's called integrity."

"Yes, yes, the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness must be upheld."

Ye Qing lay on the coffee table, her head resting in the crook of her arm, turning her head to look at Ai Liang, her eyes full of laughter: "So where are you planning to take me tomorrow?"

Without hesitation, Ai Liang replied, "I'll follow the school's arrangements."

"Huh? That's not fair! You promised to take me out to play!"

Ye Qing stretched out an arm and patted Ai Liang's arm: "You need to highlight the role of a local."

Ai Liang grabbed Ye Qing's wrist: "I don't know many entertainment venues to begin with, and besides, it's raining so hard outside, where else do you want to go?"

Ye Qing pulled her arm back, leaned on the coffee table, and sighed, "If I knew where there were fun things to do, would I be asking you?"

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who goes around looking for fun all the time?"

"Not like."

"Then why are you asking me?"

"Because you promised me."

The two chatted idly, completely ignoring Yi Wenna sitting on the sofa behind them.

Yi Wenna felt she couldn't stay silent any longer, so in order to interrupt their conversation, she took the initiative to start a conversation: "Ahem, Ai Liang, where did you watch the movie tonight?"

Even though she knew Yi Wenna wasn't interested in this, Ai Liang still replied, "The shopping mall near the food street."

Although the teachers forbade students from going out during the exam period, Ye Qing would still secretly drag Ai Liang out for a stroll every day after dinner.

The main places I wandered around were the places that sold late-night snacks.

According to Ye Qing, although the hotel's late-night snacks were plentiful and free, they were all light and bland. They were enough to fill you up, but they just didn't feel quite right.

Late-night snacks like roast chicken and roast duck are not cost-effective as they require payment and can be ordered individually.

So every night, she would take Ai Liang out.

That way, even if the teacher finds out, with Ai Liang, a local, by their side, they won't say much.

As a tagalong, Yi Wenna naturally followed along every time.

"So there was a movie theater there?" Ye Qing asked thoughtfully.

Yi Wenna retorted, "Of course! How could a shopping mall like this not have a movie theater?"

Yi Wenna got up from the sofa and sat down next to Ye Qing: "But I didn't expect you to come back, Ai Liang... I thought you would stay at your old classmate's house tonight."

In just a few words, Yi Wenna steered the conversation to the most sensitive topic.

To defeat your opponent, you must seize their weaknesses and relentlessly attack them.

For example, when arguing with someone online, you might call someone outside the Great Firewall a robber, and they readily admit it without getting angry at all.

But if you say something like, "May God protect you, you pedophile," the other person will pause for two seconds, then break down completely and start hysterically cursing you.

If you then block the other person, you're guaranteed to infuriate them to the point of madness.

Yi Wenna didn't know the specifics of Ai Liang and Yang Xingyue's relationship, but that didn't stop her from using it to her advantage in front of Ye Qing.

Just as Ivy had predicted, there was a few seconds of silence in the living room after she said those words.

"Yi Wenna, is Jin Ping'an your classmate?" Ai Liang asked.

"what happened?"

Yi Wenna didn't understand why Ai Liang would mention Jin Ping'an at this time.

Ai Liang continued, "If after we graduate you go to university in another city and take advantage of a holiday to go home, and you happen to run into Jin Ping'an at the train station, and his house is near your hotel, would you stay overnight at his house?"

Spending the night at Kim Ping An's house? Do I look like someone with a screw loose?
Even though Ai Liang's words were just an analogy, Yi Wenna still felt a chill run down her spine.

"No, you can't say that. My relationship with Jin Ping'an isn't good, but your relationship with that girl seems unusual, doesn't it?"

Ai Liang frowned: "Don't you have any friends you're even slightly close to?"

You have no right to say that in this living room!

Yi Wenna suppressed the urge to complain.

She simply couldn't understand where Ai Liang, who didn't have a single friend in the class, got the confidence to say such a thing.

Yi Wenna grabbed Ye Qing's arm: "Hmph, stop talking nonsense and tell me honestly what your relationship with that girl is."

Yi Wenna kept glancing at Ye Qing, clearly trying to force Ai Liang to answer her questions directly.

Ai Liang's silence means he has something to hide. If he were to explain his relationship and past with Yang Xingyue in detail, Ye Qing would definitely feel jealous.

No matter how you answer, I'll still make a huge profit!
Yi Wenna thought smugly.

The way he held Ye Qing's arm gave off a feeling of controlling the emperor and commanding the princes.

What Yi Wenna could think of, Ai Liang and Ye Qing could naturally think of as well.

Ye Qing waited with great interest for Ai Liang's answer.

Ai Liang glanced at Yi Wenna and said, "It's a bit complicated to explain. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

Yi Wenna immediately chimed in, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a holiday anyway, there's still plenty of time before bedtime!"

"Do you mind if I give an example to summarize?" Ai Liang asked repeatedly.

"Tell us, tell us, we're waiting," Yi Wenna said with a smile.
