On the side street, Zhao Xiaoqing tried on two student skirts. She liked them very much, but she was struggling which one to choose. Shi Niange looked at it for a long time and finally suggested that she choose the light purple one.
Although Zhao Xiaoqing usually wore a pair of glasses and looked quiet and obedient, she was very fair and clean. She never picked out colorful clothes. This light purple dress would not look good on anyone with slightly darker skin, but she could wear it.
After buying clothes, the two of them went to the side to buy snacks. Zhao Xiaoqing was addicted to the barbeque on the street. Her family was a medium-sized, well-off family. They had all the usual pocket money. They were not poor, but they were not wealthy and could not spend as they pleased. Therefore, even if she saw the lamb skewers she liked, she could only buy two. However, she would share one with Shi Niange. Every time Shi Niange said that she wanted to treat her, Zhao Xiaoqing would not agree. She firmly said that even if she made friends with the princess, she could not let the princess use money to trample on her. No matter what, she had to maintain equality. Otherwise, if one party gave too much, their friendship would definitely tilt and turn unfair to everyone.
Shi Niange didn’t mind. After all, she could do anything she wanted. She had eaten these street foods before, but when she ran in with Zhao Xiaoqing today, she strangely felt good. Now, even chewing on the mutton skewers felt especially good.
“Was that person really Tang Shao’s father?” Zhao Xiaoqing asked vaguely as she bit off a piece of meat.
Shi Niange answered vaguely like her, “Mm, mm.”
“Did Tang Shao ask his father to help him because he can’t coax you back?”
“No, he’s a bit of a scumbag, but he’s not that stupid.” Shi Niange took a tissue to wipe her mouth. “The Tang family has always wanted to work with the Shi family. I think I’ve heard my parents mention this before. It’s just that there’s a very good project that the Tang family wants. One time, Uncle Tang came to my house to deliver something and saw me. Afterward, he somehow found out about my age and my school. He also found out that I actually know his son. He treated us to a few meals and played matchmaker several times.”
“So the two of you were arranged to be together? I thought the two of you were in love. It turns out that the so-called wealthy families don’t have any real freedom of love. They only have arranged marriages like before. Is that true?”
“…It’s not that exaggerated. We just happened to be together at the right time and are quite pleasing to the eye. Also, our parents work together. We’ve only been together for two months.” After speaking, Shi Niange threw away the bamboo skewer in her hand, turned around, bought two glasses of water, and handed one to Zhao Xiaoqing. “Anyway, remember, Tang Shao has nothing to do with me now. In the past, we just happened to be together. I’m not entangled with any ex-boyfriend.”
Zhao Xiaoqing nodded and nodded again. She continued to mumble, “I know. Right now, you look at Almighty Qin like a wolf looking at meat. If you really had feelings for Tang Shao, how could your heart change so quickly…”
Shi Niange paused in her actions and glanced at Zhao Xiaoqing.
In the afternoon, when the teacher helped her with her tutoring, she had asked her how she had formed a good relationship with Qin Siting. At the time, she had only said that they had sat together for a long time and would occasionally exchange a few words, so they were considered familiar.
Now that she said this, was it so obvious that she liked Qin Siting?
Qin Siting would definitely be able to tell.
But he actually went to the school library…
Zhao Xiaoqing was drinking water when Shi Niange suddenly spun around happily. She was about to call her back, but Shi Niange had already turned around to look at various couple accessories on the side.
Zhao Xiaoqing: “…”
Miss, aren’t you too early?
It was just a wolf who had just seen meat. She didn’t even know if she could eat it. Do you even have to prepare the dishes?
…
She knew that Qin Siting had gone out to compete a few days ago and had returned yesterday, so she would definitely go to school today. She definitely would not skip classes. Early in the morning, Shi Niange bought a few glass bottles of warm milk from the fresh milk shop outside the school and put them in her bag.
Right now, the weather was just right. It was neither cold nor hot. Some of the girls in the school were still dressed in summer clothes. Outside, they were wearing a school uniform jacket. Shi Niange had already changed into a long-sleeved shirt and long pants. Her long hair was tied casually, and there were some loose strands on her forehead. Her school bag was slightly heavy because she had placed a few bottles of milk in it. She carried it on one shoulder and held the bag strap on her shoulder. She directly walked into the crowd of students.
When she entered the class, she saw that her dear deskmate had already arrived. After all, she had been delayed for a while when she was buying milk. It was almost time for morning self-study. Qin Siting was rarely late.
She walked over with a smile as radiant as the morning sun. She saw that the tall and thin boy was still wearing a white T-shirt inside and a school uniform like hers outside. Perhaps it was because Qin Siting was tall and had a good figure, but with such an ordinary school uniform jacket on him, he looked like a sunny and handsome male celebrity in those branded sportswear advertisements. Looking at him like this, Shi Niange felt that the school uniform on her body was becoming more and more beautiful. No wonder she, who rarely obediently wore school uniforms in the past, was wearing it more and more frequently. En… because sitting together like this, they looked especially like a couple.
Before she sat down, she took out a bottle of milk from her bag and placed it on Qin Siting’s desk.
He did not move, and she was not in a hurry to speak. She sat down and looked up to see that when the form teacher came in to check on the morning self-study, she was holding a book in her bag and whispering, “I just bought it. It’s still warm.”
At such an early time, the teacher had only just arrived at work. After entering the classroom to take a look, she returned to the office to prepare for class. The quiet classroom was once again filled with various whispers.
Behind her, Hao Xiushe gently poked her with his pen. When she turned back, he glanced at the milk on Qin Siting’s table and mouthed, “Where’s mine?”
Zhao Xiaoqing nudged Hao Xiushe’s arm with the corner of her book and glared at him, hinting at him not to be so shameless. Shi Niange was amused and took out two more bottles from her bag as if she was performing a magic trick. She whispered, “I definitely won’t leave you behind. There are straws here. Open them and drink.”
Hao Xiushe didn’t expect that there was really one for him. He immediately took the straw and chuckled. Zhao Xiaoqing also glanced at it in surprise, meaning to ask: Why didn’t Almighty Qin’s have a straw?
