"Xiao Xi, remember to tell Nan Hua and the others about that time later."
"Okay, I'll go tell them now."
Just now, the group had finalized the time for their so-called get-together.
It was already mid-month, and Qiu Xi still needed to find Hua Linglong. With final exams approaching, they were all quite busy with their clubs and studies.
Moreover, next week would be New Year's Day, and the school was hosting a New Year's Day Food Festival. This was their first time, and they weren't planning to go out that day.
So, they finally decided to go out together after the exams, to have some fun before the holiday.
Soon, Nan Hua replied, saying there was no problem.
"Alright, they're okay with it too."
"Good."
"Xiao Xi, you've become a celebrity in our department now!!!"
Song Daiyao was browsing online when she saw the news about Qiu Xi and Nan Hua winning an award, which the department had publicized and everyone was discussing.
"??? What is it?! We want to see too!"
"Come on, let's look together."
The three of them put their heads together and started scrolling through the comments from alumni.
Alumnus A: Setting aside everything else, just looking at this photo, I have to ask, are these two a couple?!!!
Alumnus B: Why are the top students also so good-looking!!! How am I, this "muddy weed," supposed to survive?
Alumnus C: Is it just me who's seriously looking at this certificate?!!
Alumnus D: @Alumnus A, I often see them studying together. Handsome men and beautiful women are truly eye-catching!!! [Image].[Image].
...
...
Reading as she scrolled, Song Daiyao was quite entertained.
It seemed that the alumni of this year were all psychics.
"Why are they saying it so convincingly?" she murmured, touching her chin. She, the one involved, almost believed it herself.
Well, looking at the photo, it really did seem quite convincing.
"Indeed, Xiao Xi, I have one here too. Do you want to see it?" Raising an eyebrow, Song Daiyao remembered she had a candid photo of the two of them taken in the library on her phone!
She had looked at it after taking it and thought it was quite nice, so she hadn't deleted it.
She had been waiting for the right moment to use it.
"..."
When did so many free photographers appear? She didn't even know!
"Give it here, let me appraise it."
"Slap~" Song Daiyao lightly swatted away Qiu Xi's reaching and waving hand and sent her a copy of the photo.
"Your photography skills are quite good!"
Qiu Xi opened the photo and looked at it. Putting aside everything else, the capture of the light and shadow in the library was excellent.
Song Daiyao said with a bit of pride, "Of course!"
"Since that's the case, I'll accept it gratefully."
"Xiao Xi, you've truly become famous now. You're a celebrity in the department, and even the teachers have congratulated you in the group chat!"
"..." Fine, it really is true that people fear fame like pigs fear stoutness.
She should be more low-key in the future and focus on her studies.
...
Shen Yan: "Xiao Xi, do you have time? Let's record the dialogue for our spoken English class."
"Yes, I'm coming."
Alright, she still had some homework to finish.
...
"Xiao Xi, when are you coming to see me?"
Just as she finished her assignment and hadn't even wrapped it up, Hua Linglong started urging her.
"How about this Saturday?"
She checked the time and realized she had to go quickly, otherwise she wouldn't have time later.
"Okay, I'm free on Saturday too. I'll wait for you~"
"Alright, then we'll see each other on Saturday."
