Time quickly came to June, and the early summer wind blew. The air was less fresh and more hot. The rising heat waves also made the weather changeable. As the saying goes, "June's weather is like a child's face." It may be sunny in the morning and rain heavily at noon. Recently, umbrellas have become a common item in students' backpacks, otherwise, they might be soaked.
During the break, Jia Xianxian asked Qiao Chu mysteriously, "Xiao Qiao, you haven't forgotten what day tomorrow is, right?"
Her face was filled with suppressed excitement and her eyes were sparkling.
Qiao Chu controlled the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl up and said casually: "Of course I didn't forget. Tomorrow is Saturday, the day of rest every week."
Sure enough, Jia Xianxian's smile froze on her face.
"puff--"
She looked so funny that Qiao Chu couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry, I didn't forget. Tomorrow is our beautiful and lovely classmate Xianxian's fifteenth birthday. Even if I forget my own birthday, I won't forget yours. After all, you are my best friend!"
She couldn't forget it even if she wanted to. Since the first day of June, Jia Xianxian had been whispering in her ear -
Her birthday is coming soon... Her birthday is coming soon...
After being scolded for more than a week, her ears were covered with calluses.
"Xiao Qiao! You are teasing me! You are so mean!"
Jia Xianxian resumed her bright smile, swung her chubby fist and punched Qiao Chu.
"I'm sorry, Xianxian, I was wrong!"
Facing the fist, the thin and frail Qiao Chu quickly begged for mercy.
"snort!"
Jia Xianxian snorted arrogantly, and when she saw that she had surrendered, she called off her troops.
Then, she put away her playful look and urged, "Be sure to come over tomorrow night!"
Qiao Chu nodded: "Yeah, I understand."
On Saturday evening, Qiao Chu finished a day's study and came out of the system study room, preparing to attend Jia Xianxian's birthday party.
She rummaged through her closet and found a light blue chiffon dress with floral patterns to change into. Afraid that it would be cold at night, she put on a small white outer layer over it.
Then, she tied her long hair into a princess bun and put on some light makeup.
Perfect!
She looked at herself in the mirror again and again, feeling very proud of herself. She felt that she had begun to shed her ordinary appearance and was stepping towards becoming beautiful.
After working day and night, her values have increased significantly.
Qiao Chu: 15 years old
Appearance: 45 points (fairly pretty)
Skin: 40 points (smooth skin)
Body shape: 30 points (growing)
Sound: 45 points (clear and natural)
Qiao Chu looked at the numbers on the virtual screen with satisfaction. She had finally gotten rid of the so-called "complete facial features"! She is now "handsome"!
"Come on, pretty little Qiao!"
She flattered herself for a while, looked at her watch, and saw that it was almost time, so she packed her bag and prepared to go out.
"Dad, I'm leaving."
Qiao Weimin, who was watching TV, looked at his newly dressed daughter and sighed in his heart -
Girls really change a lot as they grow up. They become more and more beautiful!
He smiled and reminded: "Well, be careful on the road, have fun, remember to bring more money, take a taxi back by yourself, and remember to take a regular taxi!"
"I know!"
Qiao Chu went downstairs and hailed a taxi at the entrance of the alley.
"Master, please go to Jingtian Hotel."
Jia Xianxian’s birthday party was held at the most luxurious Jingtian Hotel in Hai City, which is the most famous five-star hotel in Hai City. It is located on Huaihai Road and is the business center of Haishi. The hotel is 40 stories high and is luxuriously decorated, fully equipped and attentive service. It provides accommodation and dining options, as well as entertainment options such as swimming, fitness, singing, dancing, and bars.
Jingtian Hotel was a bit far from Qiao Chu's home, and the taxi took more than 20 minutes to arrive. As soon as the car stopped in front of the hotel, a waiter in a welcoming outfit trotted over and opened the door for Qiao Chu.
"Welcome to Jingtian, Miss, please get off the car slowly."
"Thanks."
Qiao Chu walked inside and just as he pushed open the door, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
It was slightly dark, and with the light from the hotel lobby, she looked carefully again and asked, "Chen Ling? Is that you?"
Shen Ling, who had been wandering in the shadow of the tree next to him for a long time, came out and whispered, “It’s me, Xiao Qiao.”
Seeing Shen Ling's face clearly, Qiao Chu walked over and asked, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go in?"
"I……"
Shen Ling looked at Qiao Chu's beautiful and elegant clothes, then looked at her own school uniform, and lowered her head awkwardly.
Seeing that she was still wearing her school uniform on the weekend, Qiao Chu understood instantly. She didn't ask any more questions, but smiled widely, walked up to Shen Ling, took her hand and walked into the hotel, "Hurry up, if we don't go in, we will be late, and if we are late, Xianxian will scold us, hurry up!"
Shen Ling was pulled by Qiao Chu all the way into the box reserved by Jia Xianxian.
“Xiao Qiao, Shen Ling, you are here, I have been waiting for you two!”
When Jia Xianxian saw the two people coming in, she quickly stood up and greeted them.
There were already five or six people sitting in the box, all of them were Jia Xianxian's friends and neighbors. There weren't many people, so it was a small birthday party. She had already celebrated at home with her parents and relatives during the day. This time it was a special party for friends, and in order to let everyone have fun and not feel restrained, there was no adult at the table.
As the protagonist of today, Jia Xianxian wore a pearly white dress with a slightly off-shoulder design, which made her plump figure look a bit girlish. Her fair skin made her look even more youthful and beautiful.
Qiao Chu looked at her outfit and praised: "Xianxian, you look so beautiful today!"
Jia Xianxian happily spun around in place, her skirt fluttering and gleaming with colorful light under the lights, "Really? This is something my mother made especially for me. It makes me look really thinner when I wear it!"
Look thin?
Qiao Chu looked at her round shoulders, and nodded reluctantly because she was the birthday girl: "Well, it does make you look thinner. But... it's just..."
Jia Xianxian paused and asked quickly, "So what?"
Qiao Chu smiled slightly, handed the gift in his hand to her, and said, "It's just that there is still a necklace missing! Happy birthday, this is for you!"
"Ah-ah-thank you, Little Joe!"
Jia Xianxian screamed excitedly, took the gift and couldn't wait to open it.
"Oh, what a beautiful necklace!"
What Qiao Chu gave was a crystal necklace with a butterfly-shaped crystal pendant hanging on the thin chain. The transparent pendant was shiny and translucent, and the butterfly flapping its wings was agile and lively, very suitable for a girl of Jia Xianxian's age.
"I like it so much, Xiao Qiao, put it on me!"
As expected of good sisters, Jia Xianxian loved Qiao Chu’s gift so much that she put it on immediately to show off.
"How is it? Doesn't it look good?"
She wore the necklace and showed it to her friends in the box, happily receiving a lot of compliments.
"Huh? Shen Ling, what are you holding in your hand? Is it for me?"
Seeing that Shen Ling had been holding a bag in her hand, Jia Xianxian asked tentatively.
Shen Ling clutched the bag, looking embarrassed, feeling very conflicted, and walked out from behind Qiao Chu slowly, “Well, it’s for you.”
Seeing Jia Xianxian's happy smile, she added in a low voice: "It's not a good thing. I don't have much pocket money. This is the stinky tofu I made myself. I also added a lot of chili that you like..."
Her voice became weaker and weaker, and the last few words seemed to be held in her mouth. She was extremely embarrassed now, and seemed to feel that her stinky tofu was not presentable in such an occasion. After all, this was a five-star hotel, and Jia Xianxian's friends all seemed to be rich or noble...
To her surprise, Jia Xianxian happily took the bag from her hand and took out the lunch box with stinky tofu in it, "Great! Shen Ling, thank you, I love stinky tofu the most, and I am so happy to be able to eat it on my birthday!"
She was as happy as when she received the crystal necklace from Qiao Chu.
She even called the waiter who had been standing in the corner of the box and ordered, "Please heat it up for me, put it on a plate and bring it up."
The waiter took the lunch box respectfully with a smile on his face, as if it was filled with delicacies from the land and the sea, and said solemnly: "Okay, Miss, I'll go right away."
Jia Xianxian’s attitude resolved the embarrassment in Shen Ling’s heart, and she finally showed her first smile of the night.
"Hurry up, stop standing, come and sit down, the food will be served soon, everyone must eat well tonight!"
Jia Xianxian's cheerful voice rang out, and the atmosphere in the box became warm.
"Well, Grandpa is in good health, you don't have to worry... His diet is also normal... Well... I will take care of him... Don't worry..."
As soon as Qiao Chu came out of the bathroom, he heard voices coming from the end of the corridor.
The voice was very pleasant to hear, with a charming charm, cool and soft, yet with a bit of lazy hoarseness. The hoarseness was not a simple husky sound, but a kind of magnetic low hoarseness of a teenager's voice change period, which was particularly alluring.
She couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a slender figure standing next to the window at the end of the corridor. The owner of the figure had his back to her, facing the window, holding a mobile phone, and talking on the phone.
That nice sound must have come from him.
The figure from behind was very tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and should be a boy.
His back was straight and as slender as a poplar tree standing guard.
He was wearing a pair of black casual trousers and a short-sleeved white shirt. The style was simple but very stylish. Qiao Chu could clearly see the ironed trouser lines from more than ten meters away.
What a divine back view! Qiao Chu was filled with admiration.
Broad shoulders, thin waist, narrow hips, and those long, straight legs...
It's simply the best!
As she walked away, she looked back reluctantly.
This kind of top-quality product is rare. If you see it, you will be missing out if you don’t take a closer look!
“Ouch—”
Because she kept looking back, she bumped into someone head-on as soon as she turned the corner. The huge reaction force made her fall backwards.
"careful--"
A pair of arms pulled her up, saving her from the tragic fate of falling.
Qiao Chu patted his chest, still in shock, and looked up to thank his savior: "Thank you——"
Oh—another acquaintance.
"Senior Jiang?"
This person was none other than Jiang Yuzhou, whom I had met once in the bookstore.
Jiang Yuzhou looked at her in confusion, tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized something and patted his head: "It's you! Hardworking junior school girl!"
Qiao Chu looked pretty and charming today, which was completely different from the style she wore that day in school uniform. Jiang Yuzhou looked at her for a long time before recognizing her.
He raised a familiar smile, and the dimple on his right cheek also came out to greet Qiao Chu, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. I promised to buy you juice last time."
Qiao Chu smiled and shook his head: "No need for juice, you just gave me a hand, so we're even now!"
Jiang Yuzhou waved his hand: "I just happened to do that. Don't mind it. I keep my word. If I said I would treat you to juice, I must. I just happened to be here for dinner with my friends. If you don't mind, come along."
Qiao Chu refused and said, "Let's do it another day. I'm here with my friends today too. Let's drink juice together another day if we meet."
After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "My friends are waiting for me. I'll go over first. Goodbye, Senior Jiang!"
"Well, bye."
Jiang Yuzhou smiled as he looked at her back, then turned around and continued looking for the friend who had disappeared for a long time after saying he was going to answer a phone call.
He walked around the corner and looked. Isn't that it?
"Fu Zhen, hurry up, we're waiting for you, the food is getting cold!"
Fu Zhen at the end of the corridor put down the phone, turned around and said, "I'll be there right away."
