Zhao Xun felt that all the exercise she had done in a year had been used up in this one day.
By the time Ma's parents were ready to go back to the hotel to rest, he was already suffering from back pain.
—What a hellish trial for otaku.
Zhao Sun could barely walk without needing to lean against the wall.
He glanced sideways at the muscular girl walking beside him.
Ma Jiaojiao was slightly tired, but her spirits were surprisingly good.
His slightly narrowed eyes held a hidden glint of light, and a smile played at the corners of his lips.
Aren't you going to the hotel?
“My parents are very stingy; they only booked rooms for themselves—I still have to go back to school to live. We should save where we can and spend where we can.”
"…Um."
It was past 8 p.m.
It was already dark.
Dinner was also paid for by Ma Jiaojiao's parents.
Mama Ma seemed to have a great time today, with a big smile on her face.
Zhao Xun was also invited to the dinner.
"If you come to Huizhou next time, remember to visit my home."
Zhao Sun: "...Pfft."
"That man will never be able to set foot in Huizhou in his entire life," Zhao Xun thought to himself.
He said, "Oh, thank you..."
Compared to the enthusiastic Ma's mother, Ma's father is actually easier to get along with.
“Yes,” said Father Ma.
…
Ma Jiaojiao forced a mischievous smile:
"You must be exhausted, senior~~"
The two had already boarded the subway.
On my way back to school.
The West Lake area was still packed with people as always.
But perhaps because the day had been so unfortunate, Zhao Xun's luck finally turned around.
In this vast sea of people, he actually managed to snag a seat!
Together with Ma Jiaojiao, they were able to take a short break.
Please, please don't let my legs cramp up—this was Zhao Sun's last little wish.
Zhao Xun had already closed his eyes, feigning sleep.
"If you know that, then don't bother me."
"…oh."
Seeing that her senior was unwilling to talk to her, Ma Jiaojiao pouted.
The burly girl beside him fell silent, while Zhao Xun raised one eyebrow slightly and looked at her.
Ma Jiaojiao was holding her phone, typing away rapidly.
It's obvious they're chatting with someone.
Ma Jiaojiao noticed her senior's gaze.
"Reporting to senior, it's my mom."
"...Report my ass, I have no interest in knowing." Zhao Xun said indifferently, his arms crossed.
A wave of weariness and drowsiness washed over him, making his eyelids feel especially heavy.
“My mom is praising you to me, senior,” Ma Jiaojiao said again.
Zhao Xun rolled her eyelids, then blinked.
"Polite, well-mannered, and very patient... uh, senior?"
Ma Jiaojiao glanced at Zhao Sun—was she referring to senior Zhao Sun?
"Damn it, don't look at me like that," Zhao Sun said.
"Yes, that's more like a senior," Ma Jiaojiao thought to herself.
However, people are not just one-dimensional. It's perfectly normal for a mother's perception of her senior to differ from her own.
"I simply didn't show any impatience, but that doesn't mean I wasn't impatient, okay?" Zhao Xun said.
“Oh, then I’ll tell my mom,” Ma Jiaojiao said.
"shut up!"
Zhao Xun quickly stopped him.
There's actually no need to stop them.
After Ma Jiaojiao said that, she stopped typing.
She continued to glance at Zhao Xun with a wicked smile.
Zhao Xun's tone was indifferent:
"Since we've already come this far... let's just leave it at that, otherwise all our previous patience would have been for nothing."
Ma Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed even more, almost to the point of being slits.
"~~Okay~~~~"
"Stop speaking in such an unpleasant voice," Zhao Xun said disdainfully.
Ma Jiaojiao started banging and tapping again.
Zhao Xun really didn't care much anymore.
He continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
"Senior."
"…ah."
“My mom said we’re quite a good match.”
"Um."
Zhao Sun was so sleepy that she was a little drowsy.
He gave a casual reply.
Three seconds after answering, he suddenly opened his eyes:
"…ha?"
Ma Jiaojiao is looking at him.
"No, you better explain this to your auntie right now, don't let your mom misunderstand—wait, 'we' should refer to you and me, right?"
Ma Jiaojiao shook her head.
Zhao Xun first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a pang of anxiety.
That's even more wrong. Who else could "we" be besides him and the big girl?
Are there other people?
It was just the four of them playing together today, and then some other person suddenly showed up!?
Ma Jiaojiao pointed at Zhao Xun, then at herself.
"It's me and you, not you and my dad."
"...You still have the nerve to play puns, huh? Deduct your pay!!"
"Ji Qingqian really likes to use puns, hehe, it's funny."
"What a joke!"
Zhao Xun first breathed a sigh of relief, then her heart clenched: "Then you should explain!"
"There's nothing to explain," Ma Jiaojiao said.
"…you!"
"Do you think we're not suited to be friends?"
Zhao Sun: ...
Are you a friend?
"Otherwise, what do you think, senior?"
Zhao Sun: ...
"Hey, senior, please don't do this!"
"--roll!"
The subway just arrived at the station.
Zhao Xun will lead the charge.
He squeezed into the flow of people getting off the bus.
Ma Jiaojiao chased after him with a smile.
