"Nan Hua, what a coincidence!"
This was the first time Qiu Xi had seen Nan Hua since she got drunk last time. It made her a bit awkward, as she had been truly embarrassing then.
Every time she thought about the video Song Daiyao had shown her, she felt incredibly uncomfortable.
"It is quite a coincidence."
Nan Hua looked at Qiu Xi, whose eyes were darting around restlessly, and felt like laughing. He managed to suppress it.
"..."
Don't think she didn't notice. A glance in his direction revealed his eyes were indeed smiling.
"Hmph! Laugh if you want, I'm not angry!" Qiu Xi pouted, acting sulky.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
...Wouldn't dare, yet looking so visibly pleased!
"But..."
"Hmm?" Seeing him suddenly become serious, Qiu Xi turned her head, quite puzzled.
"You're very cute!"
Qiu Xi froze for a moment before realizing what he was referring to. She immediately turned away, but couldn't hide the two rosy clouds that instantly appeared on her fair, jade-like face.
"Hahaha~"
Seeing this with his own eyes, Nan Hua was in a very joyous mood.
"Nan Hua, what are you laughing at?"
Zhao Huasheng, who had just finished chatting with Song Daiyao and sat down, hadn't quite noticed what had happened. He only saw that Nan Hua was smiling very happily.
"Hiss~" Afraid that Zhao Huasheng's mouth would find out, Qiu Xi, in her haste, moved her hand.
"Nothing, you should hurry up and sit properly, class is about to start."
Feeling the touch at her waist, Nan Hua, despite himself, said this to Zhao Huasheng.
"You're acting so strange today..."
Zhao Huasheng, who wanted to ask more, was interrupted by the teacher who had just entered.
"A little lighter next time!"
"..." Qiu Xi, who had already realized what happened and was embarrassed, her head buried, heard this and her face practically pressed against the desk.
How could she ever face him again!
She was so ashamed that she wished the ground would open up and swallow her.
"Xiao Xi, what are you doing? Class is starting."
Liang Yunfei, sitting on Qiu Xi's other side, had just finished chatting with her boyfriend. She saw Qiu Xi's head bowed incredibly low and casually asked.
"It's nothing, just let me be quiet for a bit!"
At this moment, she dreaded anyone asking, and being asked a few more questions would truly make her lose all face.
"So strange..."
After calming down for nearly half a class, Qiu Xi finally felt like she could breathe again.
She then simply acted as if no one was beside her and began to listen to the teacher lecture as if nothing had happened.
Nan Hua watched as she finally raised her head. He didn't say anything, just idly flipped through his textbook.
"Nan Hua, we were talking about going on a spring outing. Why don't we invite them along? It'll be more lively with more people."
Zhao Huasheng found listening to the teacher lecture a bit boring and preferred reading his own books. If he didn't find something to do now, he might just fall asleep.
He then remembered that they were planning to go hiking, euphemistically called: a spring outing!
"Hmm... it's not impossible... I'll leave this matter to you!" Nan Hua glanced at Qiu Xi and nodded.
"No..."
"With your intelligence, it will definitely be no problem." Nan Hua patted Zhao Huasheng on the shoulder with a smile.
As the saying goes, a brother is meant to be sold out. If not now, when?
"That's right, who do you think I am!"
"En!"
As soon as Zhao Huasheng finished speaking, he saw Nan Hua's subtly curved lips. The familiar feeling made him realize he had been manipulated again.
He slapped himself, scolding himself for not learning his lesson and being tricked by this young master time and time again!
After torturing himself for a while, he still had to obediently do the work. It was too difficult!
So, as soon as the first class ended, Zhao Huasheng found Song Daiyao and told her about it.
When Song Daiyao heard what he said, she was quite eager to go.
Since everyone else was nearby, Song Daiyao pulled them over to discuss it.
"Xiao Xi, what do you guys think? Do you want to go?"
You're looking so excited, how could I possibly dampen your spirits?
Qiu Xi thought to herself, looking at Song Daiyao's expectant face.
"When are you guys planning to go?"
"We originally planned for the week after next. If you guys come, we can discuss it together."
"En, yes, I should be free."
Qiu Xi thought about the school's schedule, and the week after next should be fine.
"Xiao Feifei and Yan Yan, what about you two? Are you available?" Qiu Xi glanced at the two beside her.
"Yes, we can."
"No problem."
"Great! Then it's settled."
Zhao Huasheng was excited that the matter was resolved so easily.
Nan Hua, who had been secretly "lurking" nearby, finally took his listening ears away after knowing the result.
Dorm 310-
"Daiyao, I can't go with you to get our hair done on Saturday. I just received news that the teacher says there will be a friendly debate match for the debate team that day."
"How could this be..."
It was hard enough to get Xiao Xi to go with her, and now it was going to fall through.
"Then let's go on Sunday, okay?" A compromise, since it could be done either way.
"Okay, no problem." Qiu Xi thought that she didn't have anything planned for Sunday and nodded in agreement.
"Alright! Then we'll go on Sunday."
"En."
Although it was a friendly match, it was also her first debate competition in reality, so she had to prepare diligently. The teacher had also given them the debate topic, but the affirmative and negative sides hadn't been assigned yet. However, that didn't matter; with her photographic memory, she should be able to handle it.
With that thought, she immediately began preparing for the friendly match.
