Qin Xin looked at Xu Qinghua as if she had heard the funniest joke, with a half-smile: "Alright, I’ll be waiting."
Let’s see what else you can co up with.
Xu Qinghua was at Imperial University for the first ti, and no one gave him any leeway. He grudgingly queued at the end.
Qin Xin, holding her registered student card, walked towards the cafeteria with her hands in her pockets.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, two campus figures approached:
"So, Hu Er, I told you little Qingxin would definitely co to the cafeteria. I was right, right? You lost the bet, so you’re treating us to lunch!"
"Hmph, Ao Chong Chong, I’ll treat you to four ounces of rice!"
The two bickered a little, unwilling to concede defeat, then both turned with cheerful faces to greet Qin Xin:
"Xin, hey, I’ve brought you so local specialties."
"Sister Xin, the winter break was so long, I missed you a ton. Let treat you to lunch!"
Seeing Ao Xinghao looking carefree and Hu Yi acting silly, Qin Xin shook her head slightly; these two hadn’t changed at all over the break.
A whole year older, and still the sa!
By the window in the cafeteria, Song Anjing had already snagged a four-person table, waving: "Xinxin, over here!"
Song Anjing was wearing a fuchsia down jacket, her face had plumped up a bit, possibly from indulging in various flavors of milk during the break.
"Where’s Huo Zhen?"
Qin Xin looked around.
The kid was quite sensitive, and she was most concerned about him upon returning.
Ao Xinghao, a bit sour, elongated his voice: "Him? The other day we watched your racing video in A continent together. He regretted not going back to A continent, and since he couldn’t buy a plane ticket, he took a ship back overnight, hoping to bump into you in A continent. Now, he can only return by ship too, probably still drifting at sea."
Hu Yi seldom being on the sa page as Ao Xinghao, tried hard to draw Sister Xin’s attention toward them: "Sister Xin, Sister Xin, I really need to thank you. The expert you found for during winter break was truly amazing. What was his na again, Huo Tingzun, right, that Brother Huo. He fixed the hacker attacking my family’s business in no ti, and even reinforced my mom’s company’s website firewall to an amazing level of security! I think paying him just a few ten thousand is way too low. Could you help ask if we could hire him as my mom’s company tech advisor? My mom’s willing to offer an annual salary in the millions..."
Qin Xin’s lips twitched: "He has no ti."
Providing ergency help is fine, but a long-term advisor?
Oh, silly kid, when I step in, it’s always starting from millions, are you sure you can afford that?
Hu Yi felt a bit disappointed: "Ah, such a pity, that Mr. Huo is really amazing..."
Ao Xinghao squinted his fox-like eyes: "Huo Tingzun? What a coincidence, the sa surna as Huo Zhen."
Realizing he unintentionally brought the topic back to Huo Zhen, the third contender, Ao Xinghao imdiately decided not to dwell on the coincidence and quickly changed the subject:
"So, Xin, the all-around academic competition starts right after the sester begins, there’s only these two or three days to review. I’ve found past competition exam papers and practice questions for you, all answers are marked. Have a look when you have ti to get familiar?"
Hu Yi: "Yes, yes, I also got the tutor’s recorded explanations for Sister Xin. Sister Xin, just relax and have your al, I’ll play them for you."
Even Song Anjing paused her grape-flavored milk seriously: "Give a copy too."
Just when everyone thought Song Anjing was also going to gear up for the all-around academic competition.
She earnestly murmured: "I’ll take it back to the dorm, so if Sister Xin forgets to listen, I can play it for her. Like in the morning while brushing her teeth, or in the evening while showering and washing her hair. Oh, and even when Sister Xin is in the restroom, I can play it for her from outside..."
Ao Xinghao: "Very good."
Hu Yi: "Thumbs up to you."
Qin Xin held her forehead: "..."
Here we go again, oh my god, could the heavens take back these diligent, ticulous friends?
Looks like my 59 points are still lacking in deterrence after all.
