A month into the semester, Ye Qiuling was still nowhere to be found. The Xia family was unaware that she had left, and Xia Shizhao hadn't said anything either. Apart from sending money, Xia Shizhao hadn't seen either of them.
"Zhaozhao! The school is organizing a spring outing in a couple of days! We can go out and play again!!"
Xia Shizhao, who was sitting in his seat pondering which step of making the new potion yesterday went wrong, was suddenly interrupted by Mu Qinwan beside him. He looked at her with a puzzled expression:
"Spring outing? In a couple of days?"
"yes."
Xia Shizhao did some quick calculations with his fingers, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly:
"Can I not go?"
Mu Qinwan's round, almond-shaped eyes drooped, her lips pursed, and she spoke in a coquettish voice:
"Ah~ Please come~ Please come~ Please, come with us~ You've never had a picnic with us before! It's so much fun, please~ Nan Nan said she won't go if you don't go, but I already told her you're going, please~ Good Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao sister~"
Xia Shizhao covered Mu Qinwan's incessantly chattering mouth, "I'll go, I definitely will. Little trumpet, be quiet! Stop being so spoiled."
Mu Qinwan is very cute. When she acts coquettishly, she's like a beautiful and clingy ragdoll cat, making people's hearts melt. Xia Shizhao simply couldn't resist.
It's just five hundred bottles of potion. She'll do the same thing when she gets back from playing. It's just rushing to finish her homework. It's like everyone has to rush to finish theirs.
Xia Shizhao both despised himself and comforted himself.
"I feel like He Mucheng isn't very bright. He always hangs around our classroom door for ages. If he's so bored, why doesn't he go to the toilet to poop? What's the point of blocking your way out? It's ridiculous."
Mu Qinwan rolled her eyes at He Muchen outside.
He Mucheng saw this and rolled his eyes, but he just wouldn't leave.
"When did you start using excrement and urine in your speech..." Xia Shizhao said, somewhat shocked, then turned his head and saw the person outside, helplessly rubbing his forehead, "You're right, you're sick, a complete lunatic."
He had no interest in paying attention to her. Xia Shizhao smiled and took out the math test paper that Mu Qinwan had just handed out. Mu Qinwan reacted quickly, stood up and tried to run away, but Xia Shizhao grabbed her.
"Wanwan, my darling, didn't you say you wanted to go to the same school as me? How come you only got 30 points in math and you're going to the same school as me?"
Xia Shizhao sounded pitiful, and Mu Qinwan resignedly sat down, muttering softly, "Who's like you, getting almost perfect scores in every subject? I was overestimating myself back then, waaaaaah."
"What are you muttering about? Look at the exam paper!"
Xia Shizhao approached her slowly, "You didn't get a single one of the easy questions I explained to you right. What were you thinking about during the exam?"
Mu Qinwan answered instinctively, "Strawberry cupcakes!"
Xia Shizhao was speechless: ...She just said it casually, but she actually wanted to eat it.
Mu Qinwan coughed awkwardly twice, "Look at the questions, look at the questions."
Thinking of sharing the hardships, Mu Qinwan also dragged Zhan Nan, who had also done poorly on the exam, into the same boat. A top student led two math-challenged students in learning math, and the two of them struggled to get through two days in a daze.
"Wow, I'm alive!"
After being forced to study math for two days, Mu Qinwan stood in the forest and took a deep breath. "Nature's embrace is so comfortable."
Xia Shizhao crossed her arms and looked at her with a smile. Although Zhan Nan didn't show it as obviously, Xia Shizhao knew she was in a good mood after spending time with her.
"Little Wanwan!!"
A lively and cheerful voice entered the ears of many students.
Mu Qinwan: ? ? ? ? What kind of unlucky thing calls her sister! What!
Looking around but not seeing anyone, Xia Shizhao suddenly spotted a figure running away, and quickly pulled the stunned Mu Qinwan away, preventing her from being hugged by the idiot.
Perhaps because he was running too fast, the afterimage couldn't stop in time and crashed into a tree with a loud bang. Everyone closed their eyes in pain. Mu Qinwan, standing behind Xia Shizhao, was a little relieved that she had moved away, otherwise her small body would have been knocked away.
Peeking out at the people, Mu Qinwan's face darkened, and she grabbed Zhan Nan and Xia Shizhao, running away as fast as she could.
"What's wrong?" "Who is he?"
"I'll slip away first and then explain."
The three of them ran for more than ten minutes before Mu Qinwan stopped, panting. She waved her hand and said, "Wait, why are people from Xingyi School here on a spring outing too? Unbelievable."
Tired from running, Zhan Nan leaned against a tree without saying a word. Xia Shizhao calmed down for a while, then asked, "So that person is from Xingyi School, do you know him?"
"I know him, he was a junior high school classmate... a stupid suitor."
After saying that, Mu Qinwan seemed to have a headache, and added, "It's the kind that's both in behavior and language."
"Tell me about it?" "Sure, tell me about it."
Zhan Nan and Xia Shizhao spoke at the same time.
Looking at her two friends, who were full of curiosity, Mu Qinwan remained silent for a while.
She slowly began to speak: "Xingyi School is a place where anyone with good grades can go. My family was afraid I would be too spoiled, so they sent me there to study. The people at the school are generally quite simple-minded, except for a very few who are a bit irrational. That guy just now was one of them, an extremely narcissistic and delusional idiot."
The two blinked for a while, but after waiting for a long time, neither of them continued.
Xia Shizhao asked in a low voice, "So what kind of brainless thing did you do?"
Zhan Nan wanted to know more: "Sis, get to the point!"
"Hey, what's the rush? Let me gather my thoughts. I'm afraid I might throw up while I'm talking."
"First of all, he wasn't pursuing me at first. I'm a tomboy, and if he dared to get close to me, I would have slapped his face to pieces."
"He initially liked my deskmate and would come to our class every day to bring her snacks. But my deskmate was only focused on studying. This brainless guy tried to achieve his goal indirectly by bringing me food, but I didn't eat any and gave it all to my deskmate. As a result, he fell in love with me after that."
Mu Qinwan looked disgusted and continued:
"I was completely baffled the day he confessed to me. I rejected him outright, but he insisted that I was trying to hook him up. He accepted all the food and gifts I gave him, but never gave me a single reply. Is he out of his mind? He's been giving them to people for so long that he's forgotten who they were."
"What's even more bizarre is that he said his mom agreed to our relationship and was very satisfied with me. I was thinking, what? Does he want me to be his dad? What a crazy person! He harassed me for a whole month. I was so scared that I ran away and complained to him, so I transferred schools. It was practically a form of psychological attack."
"What else? After we get married, I will take good care of the children and his parents, especially his parents. They raised him all these years and now they don't want him anymore. It wasn't easy for them, so what does it have to do with me? I didn't eat his family's food. Besides, I don't know who instilled these ideas in me at such a young age."
Mu Qinwan felt nauseous just thinking about that experience; in just one month, she almost developed a fear of men.
Then he began to pour out his grievances, which surprised Zhan Nan and Xia Shizhao.
"That's so narcissistic." "That's outrageous."
Mu Qinwan grasped their hands and said solemnly, "You must be careful when choosing a marriage partner, and the same goes for dating. You must find someone with normal values!"
Xia Shizhao waved his hand: "Hahaha, don't worry."
"You'd better be careful yourself. Of the three of you, you're the least bright."
After saying that, Zhan Nan crossed his arms and looked up arrogantly.
Suddenly she stood up abruptly, staring frantically at the mud all over her body, and shouted in a voice so loud it cracked, "Mu Qinwan!!!!"
"Hehehe, you can't catch me~"
Mu Qinwan, who was in front of him, was making faces and looking smug. The moment she finished throwing mud at him, she stood up and ran away.
Mu Qinwan's clear laughter and Zhan Nan's frantic shouts echoed through the forest.
Xia Shizhao stood up helplessly and patted the mud that Mu Qinwan had accidentally thrown at him.
