Li Si leaned back in his chair, stretching his tired body slightly, and asked Fu Chi, "Have you been to Chaocheng?"
Fu Chi is from another province, and his knowledge of the cities surrounding Hangzhou is mostly limited to hearsay.
He shook his head: "No."
"Yes, it's quite close. Go visit sometime," Li Si said.
Fu Chi responded with an "Ah," but he didn't understand why the president had brought up that place.
The two sat for a while longer, but since there wasn't much work to talk about, Fu Chi took the initiative to suggest:
"President, shall we go if there's nothing else?"
"Wait a minute," Li Si stopped him. "Someone is coming."
"who?"
Fu Chi no longer needed an answer from Li Si, because with a bang, the door to the student council office was pushed open.
A girl with wheat-colored skin stood in the doorway, hands on her hips, her round, almond-shaped eyes brimming with vitality. When she opened her mouth to speak, her signature sharp canine teeth were revealed.
"Li Si!"
Li Si was quite helpless: "If you don't call me president, fine, but at least call me senior, right?"
"Enough with the nonsense!" Xia Li strode in, her aura menacing.
"Brother Pear, what's wrong?" Fu Chi asked.
“Oh, President Fu is here too…” Xia Li noticed him then.
Fu Chi: ...
He was in the same grade as Xia Li and was referred to by his colleagues as the next student council president after Li Si. He was indeed the vice president of the student council at the time.
But after being called out by Brother Pear, he still felt a bit awkward.
It seems that even if he becomes the president, he will probably only be a "deputy" president.
"This is none of your business, just stay put," Xia Li said.
"Okay." Fu Chi obediently complied.
He is indeed the vice president, but even the president has to give this Pear Bro some leeway.
"What's wrong?"
Li Si realized the girl was after him: "Aren't you going home for National Day?"
"I'll go back in a couple of days."
Xia Li is a native of Hangzhou. She can take the subway to her doorstep and can go home to visit her family regularly, so she doesn't pay much attention to holidays.
She glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and asked again, "You! Didn't you say you'd treat Brother Bei to dinner during the National Day holiday? Why are you saying you're not going to?"
Li Si was helpless:
"Didn't I show you the chat history? He said he went back to his hometown... He'll treat you when he gets back."
"You're dragging your feet again! I told you to invite them before National Day, but you dragged it out until National Day, and now you're dragging it out until after National Day? I think you just don't want to invite them at all!"
“Well, they’ve gone home, and there’s nothing I can do about it…” Li Si said, shrugging.
"Is Brother Bei's hometown... Chaocheng?"
Xia Li remembered that Lu Yibei had mentioned it before.
He attended elementary school in Chaocheng, and he and Xia Li became classmates in junior high school.
Li Si nodded: "Yes, how far is it? I can't possibly chase after them all the way to Chaocheng to invite them to dinner, can I?"
Fu Chi muttered to himself, "They were just saying they'd been up to something lately..."
“Fu Chi, you can say what you have to say to my face,” Li Si said calmly to his successor.
The successor immediately shut up.
But perhaps because Li Si usually has a good temper, Fu Chi still couldn't help but feel the urge to complain.
“Yeah! Chaocheng is really close! As for Bei Ge’s place… it seems like it’s only a little over an hour by subway!” Xia Li said.
“It would take a day or two to go back and forth.” Li Si found it troublesome: “Besides, where would I find the time?”
Fu Chi continued muttering, "They just said they could rest for two days..."
"Fu Chi!" Li Sizhen was a little annoyed and tapped the table.
Xia Li glanced at him sideways, and Li Si could only sigh:
"Even if I have time, you still have to go home to see your family during the National Day holiday, right? Let's wait for him to come back..."
He wasn't "familiar" with Lu Yibei, and this dinner party was actually part of Xia Li's group, so she had to go.
"How come I don't have time?"
Xia Li immediately jumped up: "I'm going home to see my mom right now. Wait for my news. See you at the East Station in a couple of days! Let's go to Chaocheng!!"
This girl has always been a decisive person; once she decides to do something, she does it immediately. She turned around and left right away.
"Eh..."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xia Li to stop, Li Si turned around and patted Chairman Fu on the shoulder, praising him expressionlessly: "You did a good job, you did a good job..."
Fu Chi: ...
He was a little stiff. Could the chairman really hold a grudge against him?
I should have kept quiet! Why can't he control himself?!
Li Si turned to look out the window again, and pushed up his glasses.
I almost laughed.
