Chapter 219: 218 You Guys Are Doing This On Purpose, Right?
In the dead of night, Pei Ningle was woken up by her own mobile phone ringtone.
“Who is it, so late…”
The young girl picked up her mobile phone and saw the caller ID—it was Wang Heng. She answered without much thought, but the next second, the call was quickly hung up.
Pei Ningle lay on the bed, staring blankly at the mobile phone screen. Just as she was about to call back, she suddenly noticed there seemed to be an unread message on her phone. When she opened the message, she sat up in fright.
【Xiao Xuan is drunk in my room.】
Though it was just a short nine words, it exploded like a bomb, completely dispersing the remaining alcohol haze in the young girl’s mind.
When did Han Yixuan run to the next room?
Why was she still drinking?
She ran to Wang Heng’s room to drink—what was her intention?
She threw off the quilt and got up, hurriedly put on her clothes, ran to the doorway next door, and knocked fiercely, “bang bang bang”!
During the short wait for the room door to open, Pei Ningle’s mind raced. Although she rarely thought like this before, the current situation obviously required careful handling.
Although on the surface, Han Yixuan had the identity of girlfriend, Pei Ningle knew better than anyone that it was just a shield in name only. In terms of distance with Wang Heng, it was practically the same situation as her own, with no substantial difference.
But tonight, was something substantial about to happen?
That Han Yixuan, while eating skewers earlier, was still discussing future agent work arrangements with her, fantasizing about a bright future. But in the blink of an eye, she ran to Wang Heng’s room and got drunk—this was clearly a strategy of repairing the plank road openly while secretly crossing at Chencang! Fortunately, the defending side sent out the beacon fire for help, and she luckily woke up in time… right?
No, from now on, she must be vigilant. For example, operations like drinking that mess things up definitely couldn’t happen again!
The room door opened, and Wang Heng was the one opening it.
Pei Ningle noticed that the young man in front of her was blinking hard at her, giving her a very obvious look.
So she thought for a moment and cooperatively asked: “I woke up just now and didn’t see Xiao Xuan. Have you seen her?”
Wang Heng gave a thumbs up, while saying: “Oh, she’s here with me. She forgot to bring her room card when she went out to buy something, and you were asleep and couldn’t open the door, so she came over…”
Listen to that—such a textbook excuse, with such sinister intentions?
Pei Ningle secretly sighed in admiration, followed Wang Heng into the room, and saw Han Yixuan leaning obliquely against the sofa backrest. This sinister love rival still had a beer can in her hand.
“Xiao Le’s here too? Perfect, drink with me!”
Pei Ningle patted her chest, controlled her emotion, and said as calmly as possible: “It’s very late, Xiao Xuan should come back to the room with me to sleep. Don’t drink anymore.”
Han Yixuan patted the sofa: “Come on, Xiao Le, sit here and drink with me!”
With her drunken, hazy eyes, anyone else would definitely think she was drunk—but Pei Ningle wouldn’t. Having just fallen for the trick not long ago, she was naturally as vigilant as could be right now.
But Pei Ningle stood still, while Han Yixuan moved. She suddenly reached out, grabbed Pei Ningle’s wrist, and pulled her to sit beside her on the sofa. The two young girls almost rolled into a heap.
“What are you trying to do!” Pei Ningle struggled.
“Come on, wasn’t Xiao Le drinking happily just now? Drink together!” Han Yixuan was trying to get her drunk.
Wang Heng stood a few steps away, watching coldly from the sidelines.
He figured it out—Han Yixuan’s strategy was to slack off in muddy waters. Anyway, Pei Ningle had poor alcohol tolerance, so getting her drunk would naturally resolve everything. And with Han Yixuan pretending to be completely drunk herself, it would make it hard for Pei Ningle to press the issue, very convenient for shifting blame.
Alcohol was the best scapegoat.
But Wang Heng couldn’t let her succeed so easily. At least, the battlefield couldn’t be in his own room.
“If you want to drink, go back to your room and drink slowly.” Wang Heng said this, but still stood in place, not approaching.
The battlefield of two girls—he didn’t dare step into it lightly.
Pei Ningle was forced to take a small sip, but she was still very sober: “Xiao Xuan, don’t do this. Let’s go back to the room and drink slowly. I… wait!”
Han Yixuan: “?”
Wang Heng: “?”
Pei Ningle felt her trouser pocket and said bewilderedly: “I think I forgot my room card too… can’t open the door…”
“Pffthahahahaha…” Han Yixuan couldn’t help bursting into laughter.
As for Wang Heng, he was completely dumbfounded.
Staring blankly at the two young girls on the sofa, he had only one thought in his mind—damn, you guys are doing this on purpose, right? Playing with me? Or both of you together!
Tsk, women are really too scary.
“I’ll go to the hotel receptionist and get the door opened for you.” With that, Wang Heng decisively turned and walked out.
The room door opened and closed again, leaving only two girls inside the house.
Han Yixuan suddenly put down the beer can.
Pei Ningle: “You were just acting, right?”
Han Yixuan shook her head slightly: “What do you mean acting? I really do hope you’ll drink a bit more with me—very sincerely.”
Pei Ningle questioned: “What the hell are you doing! Sneaking here behind my back for a night attack is one thing, but even after almost being exposed by me, you still don’t leave? What are you thinking?”
Han Yixuan glanced at her sideways and smiled: “I’m thinking, you’re surprisingly so unenlightened…”
Pei Ningle: “What do you mean unenlightened?”
Han Yixuan: “Just imagine—if you had gotten drunk here too just now, wouldn’t we be able to stay here rightfully?”
Pei Ningle’s already quite round big eyes widened even more: “Are you crazy!”
Han Yixuan said leisurely: “I’m not crazy. Look, this room is the same as ours, a standard room with two beds. He sleeps on one, we sleep on the other—that’s very normal, very normal.”
Pei Ningle expressed doubt: “Normal?”
Han Yixuan: “Of course! It’s not like sharing the same bed—what’s wrong with that? The key is it’s a very reasonable excuse to get closer to him. Of course, the winner between us isn’t decided yet, but at least we can get the others out first, right?”
Pei Ningle still doubted: “This can get the others out?”
Han Yixuan nodded: “At least, continue to get closer first. With closer distance, there’ll be more opportunities, and then we can eliminate the competitors…”
Pei Ningle thought for a moment and asked again: “Then if I hadn’t woken up in time, were you planning to eliminate me?”
“Well…” Han Yixuan smiled, clasped her hands in apology: “Sorry, Xiao Le, people are selfish. Mainly, I drank a bit tonight and got a little carried away, slightly irrational.”
Pei Ningle sneered: “You think beautifully. While I’m sleeping, you plan to sneak off. All that talk before about deep sisterly bond—was that fooling me?”
Han Yixuan earnestly defended: “I didn’t fool you! For this trip to the Imperial Capital to record the program, and the previous preparation work, I’ve been fully dedicated as your agent. No matter who Wang Heng ends up choosing, I really do hope you can achieve your music dream…”
Pei Ningle: “Really?”
Han Yixuan: “Of course it’s real!”
Having witnessed Pei Ningle’s bright prospect, she had been quite uneasy, even really considering sabotaging the other’s career—but that was too much of a bottom line violation, she didn’t want to think about it. And after hearing Wang Heng say things like ‘only want to rely on himself’ tonight, Han Yixuan completely dispelled such dark thoughts. Just let Pei Ningle become a star, while she supports Wang Heng—wouldn’t that be fine?
Pei Ningle’s attitude finally softened, but she was still a bit hesitant: “Even if what you say is true, Wang Heng won’t follow your plan, right? He’s already gone to the receptionist. Once they open the door, we have no reason to stay here anymore?”
Han Yixuan smiled and countered: “Do I seem like someone without preparation?”
Pei Ningle already realized something: “You mean…”
Han Yixuan: “Before coming to this room, I went to the receptionist first and arranged it with that young lady.”
Pei Ningle was stunned, her little mouth slightly agape: “You really came prepared!”
Han Yixuan said proudly: “Of course, I begged her for a long time and even spent money!”
Saying words like ‘begged’ with such a proud face, along with the substantial bribery—somehow, it felt a bit weird?
But Pei Ningle didn’t dwell on such details.
Regarding this love rival and best friend’s scheme, the young girl was still a bit hesitant: “Your plan is good, but I always feel it’s a bit inappropriate… Put yourself in his shoes—if someone pursued him this aggressively, he’d definitely feel uneasy.”
Han Yixuan scoffed: “You’re a girl, of course you’d feel uneasy. Boys are completely different.”
Pei Ningle: “Different?”
Han Yixuan extended her index finger, calmly shook it, and said confidently: “Don’t think he seems very afraid of us. Let me tell you, good boys are like that—secretly delighted inside, but pretending to be reserved on the surface. He’s just unable to let go of face, that’s why he insists we go back next door. Actually, with two cute girls in the room with him, who knows how excited he might be!”
Pei Ningle: “Really?”
Han Yixuan insisted: “Of course, that’s what it says online!”

“What do you mean no spare room card?”
Wang Heng stood in front of the hotel counter in the lobby, completely confused.
The young lady at the counter smiled and repeated: “Really sorry, but the floor you’re on has some issues with the spare room cards; they’re being reprogrammed and won’t be ready until tomorrow.”
The night wind blew in from the hotel’s main entrance, leaving Wang Heng disheveled in the wind, speechless.
He felt his trouser pocket—no mobile phone, no wallet, just the one room card. No choice now, he had to go back to that room…
So tonight, he really had to share a room with that Han Yixuan and Pei Ningle?
What a tragic life this was!
