Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 50 Buying a Couple Cake with My Sister

When Zhang Qingzhe and his sister were passing by the mall, they suddenly remembered the couple's cake from last time.

"Will there really be a discount if two people buy together?" Zhang Qingzhe asked.

"Of course there are. Why don't we go buy one now?" the younger sister suggested.

"Okay! I'll buy some groceries while I'm at it."

The brother and sister walked into the cake shop.

The saleswoman behind the counter had a very deep impression of Zhang Qingzhe.

Not only because he is very handsome, but also because when he came to buy a cake last time, he mentioned in casual conversation that he was going to give it to his sister.

She initially thought it was just a joke.

But to everyone's surprise, this time he brought his "younger sister".

Although it's unclear whether she's actually a "younger sister," they do address each other as "brother and sister."

The waitress was completely stunned and served the two of them in a daze the entire time.

She watched as the brother and sister chose an exquisite heart-shaped cake and even requested a couples' discount.

After seeing off the peculiar "brother and sister," the waitress was just about to catch her breath—

A stylishly dressed girl rushed into the store.

She was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands and wearing oversized sunglasses, looking like a celebrity visiting a store.

Suppressing a hint of anger, the girl pointed at the two people who had just left the store and asked, "What kind of pastries did those two buy?"

-----------------

Sunday —

Zhang Qingzhe locked himself in his house.

He declined Wang Dong's invitation to dinner.

I also unexpectedly received a call from Ma Yinuo—which I politely declined.

Considering the terrifying prophecy lurking in the future, he was in no mood to relax at all.

In order to improve his strength as soon as possible, he tried to make the "No. 7 Battery" card, but the process was not very smooth.

It seems that some key skills do indeed require guidance from an expert.

If you try to figure it out on your own, you'll probably take a lot of detours.

In the end, he still made a dozen [size 8 batteries] and decided to give them to Wang Dong to sell next week.

Next, he turned all the extra blank cards into wasp cards.

Firstly, this is for practice, and secondly, it's for feeding the [World Card].

Thus, the wasps in the "World" card gradually transformed into a buzzing swarm.

However, just like with battery cards, the effect of feeding will gradually diminish.

In the end, he had to feed more than a dozen cards in a row to barely summon one more wasp.

This is really not enough to cover the costs.

night!

Zhang Qingzhe prepared a sumptuous dinner, making his younger sister happy, and then took the opportunity to ask for a few more "bird divination cards".

Although my sister was very worried, she finally agreed.

In this "Bird Divination," Zhang Qingzhe saw more parallel futures, and Kang Ping also flirted with more beautiful women.

Although I didn't recognize a few of them, they were all stunningly beautiful.

Zhang Qingzhe was completely baffled.

What effect does the card you get from the blind box have?

Could it be a [Harem Card]?

Once the card master is released, he can build a harem of beauties.

***

The holiday is over.

The morning light of Monday was gentle and soft.

A pale golden mist gently enveloped the silent playground.

A few sparse bird calls drifted through the cool air, quietly ushering in a new week.

Zhang Qingzhe arrived at the school playground early.

In order to better protect himself and his sister, he began to train even harder.

After I finished a set of pull-ups, that familiar senior student appeared again.

"Junior, you seem a bit impatient today," the senior said with a smile.

"A little," Zhang Qingzhe sighed awkwardly.

"If there's anything on your mind, you can tell me. Although I may not be able to help, talking about it might make you feel better."

The senior student handed me a bottle of mineral water and sat down on the lawn next to me.

She had just run two laps around the track, a few strands of hair clinging to her neck, gleaming healthily in the sunlight.

When she sat down with her knees bent and legs drawn up, the lines of her legs were smooth and beautiful, and her knees had a faint pink blush.

Zhang Qingzhe was indeed feeling somewhat annoyed.

Meeting such a kind and approachable senior, he did indeed feel a strong urge to confide in her.

Just as Zhang Qingzhe was about to chat for a bit, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Zhang Qingzhe! What did you do this weekend?" Gu Xintong suddenly appeared and asked aggressively.

"Didn't I tell you? Spend the weekend with your family," Zhang Qingzhe replied.

"You're still lying, I saw it all."

"What did you see?"

"You were seen strolling around with a young high school girl!"

Zhang Qingzhe frowned. "You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"

"How could I be wrong about such a beautiful girl?" Gu Xintong huffed, her small chest heaving. "She's practically crawling into your arms, and you still won't admit it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingzhe suddenly realized something, "Oh, that's my sister."

"Your sister?"

"Are you lying again? You clearly bought a couple's cake."

"Oh, that. Pretending to be a couple will get you a discount."

"..."

Gu Xintong was speechless for a moment.

The senior student next to her seemed a bit confused, unsure of the relationship between the two, so she watched from the sidelines as if she were invisible.

After calming down, Gu Xintong suddenly realized that she had overreacted.

Before the truth was revealed, she thought she was angry because Zhang Qingzhe canceled her appointment and went on a date with another girl.

But now that she's calmed down and thought about it, even if Zhang Qingzhe really did make an appointment with someone else, she doesn't seem to have any reason to be so angry.

After all, the two of them were not dating, and could not even be considered very close friends.

But I don't know why?

Gu Xintong has been sulking ever since she saw him shopping with a young woman the day before yesterday.

Realizing this, Gu Xintong, having calmed down, suddenly felt embarrassed.

Zhang Qingzhe, as always, was oblivious and failed to notice her embarrassment.

Zhang Qingzhe, instead, asked curiously, "How did you know we bought a couple's cake?"

"I...I saw it by chance when I was passing by."

Gu Xintong stammered her explanation, not daring to say that she had followed him for two kilometers.

The two chatted for a while longer, completely ignoring the senior student.

Just before class started, Gu Xintong said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Gu Xintong is a girl with a rather straightforward personality.

After discovering the problem, she didn't keep it to herself, but instead confronted Zhang Qingzhe directly.

After learning it was a misunderstanding, he didn't argue or make a fuss, but instead sincerely apologized.

She previously said that she didn't get along well with the "witch," but this personality trait does have some of the "witch's" straightforwardness.

It seems she does indeed have witch blood.

If this had happened to Ye Qingshuang, she would have definitely brought up old grievances and berated Zhang Qingzhe for not caring about her at all.

Even if you eventually realize you're wrong, you have to "put aside the facts" and insist that the other party admit their mistake first.

"It's nothing."

Zhang Qingzhe responded calmly.

He suddenly remembered Gu Xintong's previous request:

"By the way, how's your [dream simulation] preparation going?"

"I'm not confident. Could you come and cheer me on when I start the dream simulation?"
