Chapter 191 - 191 4 It Must Be an Illusion

191: Chapter 4 It Must Be an Illusion 191: Chapter 4 It Must Be an Illusion March 15th, in the morning, Thorn District.

“Recently, I’ve been feeling a sense of crisis.”

With this sentence as her opening remark, Qin Qianbai was sitting in a booth at a family restaurant.

Today was a day off, and even the team leader Kardesia wasn’t dictatorial enough to monopolize the team members’ free time.

The blonde had made plans for Saturday: to take Lianyi out for a casual stroll while shopping for a small gift, then find an opportunity to encourage him to meet with her sister.

She believed that with her help, the two with a complex and subtle relationship would reconcile.

Afterwards, they could celebrate at a restaurant or simply invite more people to throw a party…

Perfect, wasn’t it?

All she had to do was come up with a way to lure Alice out, and everything else would fall into place!

Thinking this, Kardesia, before launching her plan, received a distress text from a friend.

Thus, the perfect operation had to be put on hold.

Now she was sitting across from Qin Qianbai, intensely staring at the oversized strawberry parfait (towering over her head), a large serving of Bio-Carrot Cake chunks (which looked just like matcha cake on the outside), and Molten Cheese Sticks (topped with a flame of purple fire).

After serving the desserts, the purple-haired waitress with big sunglasses and a mask walked away stiffly.

Kardesia deduced from her unfamiliar movements that she was probably a college student new to the job, causing her to sigh at the difficulties of being a student nowadays.

She turned her attention back to the table and noticed all the food was piled on her side.

Seeing this arrangement, Kardesia knew she was in for a heavy-duty day.

“A sense of crisis,” the hat-wearing lady tried to cut a piece of the flaming cheese stick, “Why?”

Qin Qianbai looked out at the street through the window and replied indifferently, “I feel a sense of crisis with Qiluo and the mean woman.”

Indeed, it was a love problem.

Speaking of which, could the mean woman possibly be Alice?

“So, is that why you didn’t invite Qiluo today?”

“Qiluo is dangerous,” said the young lady seriously.

“My intuition is giving me a warning.

She can be formidable when she’s serious.”

“Uh-huh…

Yeah!”

The hat-wearing lady nodded emphatically, trying hard not to burst out laughing.

This is too much!

Even the harmless Qiluo is considered an adversary—this kid’s thought process has completely switched to love mode!!

The so-called love-struck girl sees everyone as a romantic rival – paranoid to the extreme.

Having experienced this for a while now, she has a lot to say, as there was a time she even considered the possibility that Lianyi was unorthodox in his preferences.

The sobering fact one realizes later on is that real-life romantic comedies are extremely rare; most of the time, you’re the only one hung up on him or her!

At the moment, Kardesia was considering how to put this into gentle words.

After pondering for about 20 seconds, she realized she wasn’t good at being subtle, so she bluntly stated, “Little Qian, you’re overthinking it.

No one else would fancy a weirdo like Gongsun Ce!”

Perhaps she spoke too loudly, as the purple-haired waitress in the aisle stiffened and almost dropped her tray.

“Sorry, did I startle you?” “No, no!

It’s fine…”

The purple-haired waitress quickly walked away.

Wearing a mask in a restaurant makes sense for hygiene, but why the oversized sunglasses?

Could it be the latest trend?

While pondering this, the hat-wearing lady waited for her friend’s response.

“Gongsun Ce is indeed a weird person…

but there’s still worry, in various respects.”

Kardesia left her seat, biting furiously into the peak of the parfait tower as if to vent.

To avoid the tooth-chilling sensation of a mouthful of ice cream, she subtly ignited a flame inside her mouth.

Here it goes again, with these vague statements.

I’m a fire superpower user, not a psychic – I can’t understand your words…

She really couldn’t guess what the girl was truly thinking; who could understand someone who’s always expressionless?

“Little Qian, we’re good sisters, so don’t be too reserved.

I’ll ask you a few simple questions, and you answer truthfully, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Are you more worried that someone else likes him or that he likes someone else?”

“Both.”

She ran into a dead end with the first question.

This person is such a hassle.

Kardesia shifted her approach and asked, “You’d be happy to establish a romantic relationship, right?”

“Right.”

“Then why not take the initiative?”

The young lady said without expression, “…It’s a bit embarrassing.”

This kid is such trouble.

She said this without even blushing, and seeing her like that was irritating.

Kardesia spoke with hollow eyes, “Darling, then what exactly do you want me to do for you?

Should I go kidnap Gongsun Ce for you?”

“That’s not okay,” Qin Qianbai sneaked a spoonful of cake, “Actually, I…

planned a date using military strategies.”

“By Little Qian’s standards, that’s exceptionally proactive.”

“Twenty-four hours is the projected time.”

That sounds more like an actual kidnapping.

“That’s way too long!

Weren’t you the one who said you were embarrassed just half a minute ago?”

“I couldn’t think of anything better, so I came to ask Kardesia for help.”

I feel a sense of crisis — hurriedly planned a date — ready to start but found myself out of ideas.

It’s just like something Qin Qianbai would do.

Kardesia pondered for a moment, made an encouraging gesture, and with utmost sincerity, offered what she believed to be the most effective advice.
