“I think I’ll go change it.” Jun Jiuge’s response was quite extreme.

"Don't!"

"no!"

Qiao Xi and Li Xiaoxiao were of the same mind and disagreed with her doing so.

Li Xiaoxiao swore directly to the sky, "I swear, you are definitely every boy's ideal dance partner tonight, so I will stick close to you and bask in your glory."

Sure enough, no sooner had Li Xiao finished telling the joke than a boy came over and invited her.

"Are you Jun Jiuge?" The boy greeted Jun Jiuge in a gentlemanly manner, but Jun Jiuge had no intention of acknowledging him.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Li Xiaoxiao stepped forward to introduce them, "Yes, this is Jun Jiuge."

The boy was a little embarrassed, but he still boldly invited her, "Jun, can I treat you to a meal later..."

"No." Jun Jiuge refused decisively.

The boy, instantly losing face, wiped the smile off his face and left.

Li Xiaoxiao wanted to call out to him, but it was too late.

After the boy had completely walked away, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lecture Jun Jiuge, "Ninth Master, you can't do it like this."

"What a waste of time," Jun Jiuge said impatiently.

Li Xiaoxiao disagreed and retorted, "How is it a waste of time? Tonight is the welcome party, which is held to increase friendships among classmates. You can't turn people away."

Qiao Xi, understanding her situation, comforted her, saying, "Forget it, maybe this person isn't Ninth Master's type."

These words reminded Li Xiaoxiao, "Speaking of which..."

"Ninth Master, what type do you like? I'll help you find someone. Tonight, you just need to beckon, and no one will resist."

"Li Xiaoxiao, could you please not be so frivolous?" Qiao Xi wanted her to stop, but she couldn't understand Qiao Xi's expression, so she didn't continue.

Putting everything else aside, at least Jun Jiuge wore the clothes Yan Luoheng bought for her, so their current relationship still exists.

But for some reason, Qiao Xi couldn't sense even the slightest hint of being in love from her.

The principal led the bigwigs who had just attended the inspection meeting into the auditorium one after another. Qiao Xi did not see Qi Jincheng in the crowd. Just as she was looking for him, her phone vibrated.

It was a message from Qi Jincheng; he was waiting for her outside.

"My stomach is a little upset, I need to go take care of it." Qiao Xi quickly made up an excuse and went to find him.

"Hurry up, it's about to start," Li Xiaoxiao reminded her.

"Understood," Qiao Xi replied as she left.

Upon arriving at the destination, Qiao Xi excitedly lifted her skirt and approached Qi Jincheng. The first thing she said to him was, "Honey, does it look good?"

"Beautiful," Qi Jincheng said, looking at her with admiration.

Qiao Xi thought he would go to the auditorium with the principal, but he was waiting for her here. Was he not going to go?

"Honey, aren't you going to the auditorium?" Qiao Xi wasn't exactly disappointed, since even if Qi Jincheng were in the auditorium, they wouldn't be able to get close to each other.

Despite this, a look of disappointment appeared on Qiao Xi's face.

Seeing this, Qi Jincheng, who was already prepared, produced a mask from somewhere. In front of Qiao Xi, he put on the mask and then extended his hand to Qiao Xi, "Excuse me, do you need a dance partner?"

Qiao Xi didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at Qi Jincheng wearing a mask.

His intention was obvious. Qiao Xi quickly realized what he meant and placed her hand in his, saying a single word with certainty, "Lacking."

"Am I honored?" Qi Jincheng asked sincerely.

Qiao Xi deliberately pressed herself against him and asked, "Can I think about it?"

Qi Jincheng reached out and brushed a stray hair from her temple, asking her in return, "Are you sure you want to think about it here?"

This is definitely not a good place, and we're running out of time. "We're out of time, let's go."

When they entered the auditorium, the principal was already giving a speech. Li Xiaoxiao saw her and immediately waved to her, "Xiao Xixi, over here."

She didn't notice Qi Jincheng, who was wearing a mask, accompanying Qiao Xi. It wasn't until Qiao Xi brought him to Li Xiaoxiao that Li Xiaoxiao noticed him, "Little..."

"Who is he? Are you with him?"

Without hesitation, Qiao Xi introduced him to her: "Well, let me formally introduce you to my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Li Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, "You have a boyfriend?"

Her loud voice immediately attracted the attention of those around her, even interrupting the principal's speech.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, she awkwardly smiled and bowed slightly to apologize to them.

Qiao Xi smiled and nodded to the big shots, thankfully the 'storm' passed quickly.

Li Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and asked again, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Qiao Xi replied affirmatively, "Yes."

Li Xiaoxiao looked puzzled and surprised. "You..."

"I remember I told you this before, right?" Qiao Xi helped her recall.

Li Xiaoxiao replied, seemingly having no recollection whatsoever, "Really?"

"No?" Qiao Xi asked again.

Li Xiaoxiao said with certainty, "No."

"I remember saying that." Qiao Xi had also forgotten a bit, but decided to just pretend she had said it.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't think it mattered whether she said it or not, but she had a lot of opinions about her boyfriend who was wearing a mask. "Why is he wearing a mask? It's not a masquerade ball today."

"Take it off, let us see..."

She had barely reached out her hand when Qiao Xi intercepted it and warned her, "Li Xiaoxiao, don't lay a hand on my man, or I'll get angry."

Li Xiaoxiao said with a wronged expression, "Xiao Xixi, this is not right of you. You brought your boyfriend here, but you won't let us see what he really looks like."

"Let's talk about it later, not now." Qiao Xi's attitude was firm.

Based on Qi Jincheng's physique, Li Xiaoxiao deduced with the air of a seasoned expert, "In my many years of experience... he must be a handsome guy."

"Little Xixi, just let me see."

Qiao Xi gripped Qi Jincheng's hand tightly and declared her ownership to Li Xiaoxiao, "No matter what he looks like, it has nothing to do with you anymore. He's mine."

Li Xiaoxiao was just curious about his appearance. No matter how handsome he was, she would never steal a man from her friend. "Tch, I'm not going to steal him from you."

Qiao Xi knew her character, but this mask was something she couldn't take off.

Su Qingyao also noticed the masked man next to Qiao Xi, and she walked over as if she had guessed what was going on. "Qiao Xi."

"Class monitor," Qiao Xi greeted her with a smile.

When Su Qingyao saw Qi Jincheng wearing a mask, she wasn't sure if it was him. Although his clothes had been changed, his figure seemed to be his.
