Within the batch, Feng xin's team lost with a 2 point difference while Mu qing's track team got first place.
Their batch's theatre play also won first place. It was highly praised by teachers and even the rivaling students.
After the ceremony, they were dismissed and Xie lian, with his childhood group, together with Hua cheng and Feng xin decided to go for a celebration. Zu xian was also invited since he's basically part of the group but they just made it seem like they just knew him as Mu qing's captain.
They decided to stop by a cafe to plan what they're doing for their congratulatory party.
They all sat at 2 combined long tables at the corner.
One the other side sat ;
Hua cheng - Xie lian - Qi rong - Qianqiu
And opposite to then was ;
Feng xin - Mu qing - Zu xian - Yushi Huang
"I'm guessing all of your parents aren't home. And our neighbors house are probably empty too. Didn't our subdivision held a 3 day event?" Qianqiu said like hinting something.
"So you're saying?"
"So! Why don't we have a sleepover?"
"That sounds fun! I'm in!" Xie lian exclaimed. After him, Qi rong immediately raised his hand.
"If cousin Xie lian is going then this great ancestors going too!"
"Sure why not." Yushi huang said with a smile.
"Mu qing?" Xie lian asked while looking at the latter.
"What?"
"You're coming right? Right?"
"Do I even have a choice?" Mu qing asked sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Feng xin and Hua cheng on the other hand were just silently conversing or more specifically, arguing with each other while sipping their drinks.
"I don't think we're invited so why don't we have a game night in your apartment?" Feng xin asked.
"Why mine? You're just gonna trash my place like how you always do."
"What? I don't do that."
"You throw stuff everywhere!"
"I throw stuff at YOU!"
"The audacity. Throwing stuff at the owner of the apartment you're in!"
"Then why don't you treat your guest a bit better?"
"Guest my ass. Whenever you come over it feels like you fricking own the place! You're no guest."
"Let's just go to my place then."
"Sure." Hua cheng said with a victory smile. Feng xin squinted his eyes suspiciously and added.
"But you can't finish all my snacks and drinks."
"Whatever."
"Oi what are you two whispering about?" Mu qing asked looking at the two of them.
"Huh? Why?"
"Are you two coming or not?" Mu qing asked again with a brow raised.
"We're invited?" Feng xin had a confused look on his face.
"Duh? Why are you here then if you weren't?"
"Oh." Feng xin looked at Hua cheng who was talking to Xie lian.
"Well, being with gege is better than being alone with you."
"Anywhere is better than you emptying my storage."
"Just be thankful for my company."
"You're the one who should be thankful."
"No, you are."
"Stop it you two." Xie lian interrupted.
"We're coming." They both said in unison while glaring at each other.
"How are the both of you still friends?" Mu qing asked.
"Just because we don't get along doesn't mean we're not friends. Uh, just like us we didn't get along at first but I still think of you as a friend something like that. He's still annoying though."
Mu qing just looked at him with an uninterested face and said "You didn't really need to explain that."
"Right."
"Alright it's settled! All 8 of us then!" Qianqiu declared.
"Let's play games! AND DRINK!" Qi rong exclaimed.
"Don't drink too much." Xie lian warned.
"Cmon cousin Xie, it's just for today! Pleaseeee!" Qi rong said and wore his puppy face.
"Ew." Mu qing commented.
"What was that?! Ew?! You call this han-"
"Shush! Alright just for today stop arguing." Xie lian hushed.
"NICE!"
"Let's stop by at the supermarket." Qianqiu said and took a sip on his drink. Suddenly, Yushi Huangs phone rang.
Yushi Huang looked at her phone and smiled seeing the caller id.
"Hello?''
"..."
"Alright."
"..."
"Haha stop that let's not fight okay?"
"..."
"Okay take care. See you soon."
"..."
"Haha. I love you too."
"..."
"Hahaha shush now and hurry up if you wanna catch up."
"..."
"Alright. Bye."
When the call ended, she looked at the others who were looking at her curiously.
"Huang-jie who was that?"
"DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND HUANG-JIEJIE? LET THIS ANCESTOR MEET EM!"
"Huang-jie can we meet this guy?"
"Guys it's not that."
"I wanna meet him too. Or her."
"RIGHT! OR GIRLFRIEND!"
They all bombarded her with questions while Zu xian was also looking at her with a questioning look.
Feng xin on the other hand wanted to laugh at their protectiveness.
"Guys listen to me." They all settled down still looking at her intently when she smiled and turned to Qianqiu.
"Is there any places left for another two?"
"Another two?" Qianqiu asked.
"..." Qi rong seemed confused and tilted his head.
"No way." Zu xian exclaimed silently.
"Today?" Xie lian asked with a bit of excitement on his face.
Opposite to the others, Mu qing just sighed. "Ugh."
"They're back." Yushi Huang announced.
~~~
"Ladies and gentlemen, this airline welcomes you to Tiāntíng City. Local time is 4:56 PM."
"Hey. Wake up. We're here."
"..."
"Hey."
"Mmm 5 more minutes mom."
"If you don't wake up you wont have time to meet Huang-jie and the others today."
"I said 5 mo- wait what? I'M UP! LET'S GO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?"
"..."
The two, dragging their baggage, took a cab after getting something to drink.
"Did you really have to bring that?"
"You're mean. It's not just something you can call 'that.' FYI, its a scorpion snake. It's rare you know?"
"That's common."
"It's not."
"It is."
"Whatever. Imma just call Huang jie"
"Oh it's ringing hehe."
"Let me talk too."
"No."
"What? Why?!"
"Just no."
"Hello?" The girl on the other line greeted.
"Huang jie!!! Are you still in that cafe you told me earlier??? We're on our way!"
"Alright."
"Hey let me talk too!"
"I said no!"
"Why? Just because I called that thing 'that'?"
"I TOLD YOU IT'S NOT A THING OR A THAT!"
"Haha stop that let's not fight okay?"
"Hmph."
"It's his fault Huang jie. Were close by the way."
"Okay take care. See you soon."
"Okay! I love youu"
"Haha I love you too."
"Such a baby."
"What?! You're just jealous because huang-jie is talking to me!"
"Baby."
"Hahaha shush now and hurry up if you wanna catch up."
"Right! Were less than a kilometer away i think."
"Alright bye."
"Babye~"
The phone call ended and she turned to her side where her best friend was sitting, looking outside the window with his arms crossed.
"Hey."
"..."
"Hey are you ignoring me?"
"No."
"You are."
"I'm not."
"Hey I'm supposed to be the mad one here. You called my pet a thing and a that."
"And you didn't let me talk to Huang-jiejie."
"Well, it's because of you in the first place."
"Hmph."
"...alright alright im sorry okay? We're close now anyway you can just talk to them personally."
"..."
"Heyyy."
"Ma'am, Sir we're here."
The boy took out his wallet and paid the driver and got out of the cab. The girl just followed with a pout.
The boy took his and the girls luggage out of the cabs compartment and walked in a cafe.
"Hey I said sorry."
"Just look for them."
"You're still mad."
"I'm not."
"But you ar-"
"PEI BRO!"
"BANYUE YOU'RE STILL AS SHORT AS EVER HAHAHHAHAHAHHA"
