Chapter 1494: You Are My Little Love Song (61)
At night, Zhao Xiaoqing asked everyone to go to the KTV near the school. Although Zhao Xiaoqing’s character was very gentle and simple, because she was too quiet and she always sat in the back row, there were not many close friends. There were only four or five of them. These included s.h.i.+ Niange and Hao Xiushe, who argued with Zhao Xiaoqing all day.
“Why don’t I see Almighty Qin today? Nian Nian, didn’t you get very close to Almighty Qin recently?” Jin Xue, who was usually on good terms with Zhao Xiaoqing, suddenly said this when she saw s.h.i.+ Niange helping the waiter in.
Although it sounded like a normal question, for some reason, s.h.i.+ Niange could hear a strange tone in it.
She looked up at Jin Xue.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoqing hurried over to smooth things over. “Xiao Xue, don’t talk nonsense. Nian Nian and Almighty Qin are deskmates. It’s normal for them to interact a lot. They’re both single. Don’t say things that will cause misunderstandings.”
“Ah, so I misunderstood.” Jin Xue seemed very surprised. “I thought Nian Nian and Almighty Qin were together. After all, there were several times when I saw her going to and from school with Almighty Qin. But, I see. With Almighty Qin’s character, he shouldn’t have planned on dating in high school. Also, I remember that Nian Nian seems to be going to study medicine. She’s really not the same as Almighty Qin.”
s.h.i.+ Niange put down the fruit plate in her hand.
Zhao Xiaoqing knew s.h.i.+ Niange’s temper. She was either too lazy to care about anything, but if it involved Qin Siting, she would listen to it. She didn’t know if she would be angry, but she had to prevent any conflicts from happening. She quickly pulled her back. “Nian Nian, let’s go order some songs!”
With that, she pulled s.h.i.+ Niange away and explained softly, “Don’t be angry, Nian Nian. I only have these few friends in cla.s.s, but I’ve never told these people about you and Almighty Qin.”
“I know. I don’t blame you.” s.h.i.+ Niange actually didn’t take it to heart. However, Jin Xue’s tone just now was really asking for a beating. She would accept it when she should, but she wouldn’t easily ignore it when she shouldn’t.
From these few words, she could tell that Jin Xue and her sisters must have gossiped about her.
She didn’t mind being discussed, but if it was about Qin Siting she cared.
Hao Xiushe was still eating by the side and did not notice that there seemed to be some conflict between the girls. After s.h.i.+ Niange was pulled away, she did not take it to heart and went to the other side.
On the other hand, the girl who had just sat with Jin Xue took the opportunity to come over to say: “Nian Nian, do you like Almighty Qin? Do you need us to give you some advice on how to chase after the male G.o.d?”
s.h.i.+ Niange glanced at her. “Isn’t it Xiaoqing’s birthday today? Why are you paying so much attention to me?”
“Aren’t we all cla.s.smates in Cla.s.s Six? Usually, you and Xiaoqing are the closest to each other and rarely interact with other girls. This is a rare opportunity for us to sing karaoke together. Just treat it as us getting to know each other,” the girl said while casually grabbing a handful of melon seeds to eat in front of her.
s.h.i.+ Niange smiled indifferently. “En, I know you. At least after tonight, I’ll definitely remember your names. I won’t be like before when I can’t even remember your surnames.”
The girl holding the melon seeds was stunned by s.h.i.+ Niange’s clear att.i.tude that she had never taken them seriously. When she saw s.h.i.+ Niange’s gaze, she felt that it was not good to gossip or provoke. She held her breath for a long time and did not say anything. She turned around with the melon seeds and returned to Jin Xue’s side.
“Almighty Qin is usually liked by the girls in our school. As you know, there are many girls in our cla.s.s who have a crush on him. After seeing you sit next to him, many of them feel sour in their hearts. Even if you didn’t do anything, to them, you are already an invisible enemy. Don’t take it to heart.” Zhao Xiaoqing had only come out for her birthday and didn’t want these friends to have any unhappiness.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. As long as they don’t appear in front of me for no reason and don’t speak, I’ll forget about this matter after leaving the KTV.” s.h.i.+ Niange waved her hand and stood up to go over. “Come, come, come. I’ll sing a song.”
Hearing that s.h.i.+ Niange was going to sing, she rushed over and insisted on singing with her. However, she was pulled aside by Zhao Xiaoqing.
“It’ll be late when we go back later. Does Almighty Qin know that you came with us tonight?” Zhao Xiaoqing asked.
“Didn’t he go to a meeting with the princ.i.p.al today? He’s the only student in the city. He hasn’t been in school for the whole day, so I didn’t tell him.” s.h.i.+ Niange continued poking the screen in front of her without looking up.
“The Provincial Education Bureau is in Hai Cheng. It’s not far from here. The meeting must have ended a long time ago. You can ask him to pick you up.” Zhao Xiaoqing knew how much s.h.i.+ Niange cherished Qin Siting’s feelings and how careful she was. She suggested kindly, “You can also use my birthday as an excuse to ask him to come over. Anyway, if I show up, he definitely won’t give me face. But if you ask him to come, I think Almighty Qin will come.”
“I don’t think so. He went out with the princ.i.p.al during the day. He must be having a meal with the people from the Education Bureau. It can be considered a social gathering. Even if he comes back, it won’t be too early. If he’s tired, he can go back and rest. It’s better not to come to the school.” s.h.i.+ Niange had already chosen the song. After speaking, she took the microphone.
She was more open-minded in front of her good friends. Although she wasn’t a professional singer, she definitely wasn’t bad. After singing one song, she gave Zhao Xiaoqing enough face and sat back on the sofa. She picked up a gla.s.s of fruit juice with one hand and held her phone with the other. She suddenly saw a message from Qin Siting.
Qin Siting: [Didn’t go home?]
s.h.i.+ Niange’s eyes lit up. She suddenly turned to look at Hao Xiushe who was munching on a watermelon. “Did you send the news of Zhao Xiaoqing’s birthday to the cla.s.s chat group?”
“Yes.” Hao Xiushe was shocked by her sudden question. He looked at her strangely. “Aren’t you in the group?”
“I blocked the group message. I didn’t see it,” she answered and then lowered her head to look at the message. It was sent two minutes ago.
She quickly replied: [En, I’m going back soon. You went to the Education Bureau today? Did it go smoothly? Can you go back to school tomorrow?]
After sending it, Qin Siting did not reply immediately. Ten minutes later, her phone vibrated again. She picked it up and saw a message from Qin Siting: [I’m at the KTV entrance.]
