“Xiao Xi, has Nan Hua arrived?”
Originally, everyone was ready to take a taxi back, but Xiao Xi said Nan Hua was coming to pick her up, so they decided to go back together.
“He has. We’ll see him when we go out in a bit.”
She had asked when they landed, and he was already outside.
“Okay.”
It was late at night, so they would have to reluctantly play the role of third wheels, shamelessly tagging along with Xiao Xi.
“Xixi!”
“Nan Hua!”
As soon as they exited, the two saw each other from a distance.
“……”
The three watched as the couple, who were a distance apart just a second ago, were now embracing.
“Ahem!”
Although it was a loving scene… at this hour, it was more important to get back quickly.
With a few fake coughs from the three, Qiu Xi paused and let go of the arm she was holding before speaking, “Nan Hua, let’s go back first and put our luggage down.”
Nan Hua glanced at the group behind his girlfriend and nodded, “Alright.”
“However, Zhao Huasheng also came along. He’s still parking.”
Thinking about how this silly fellow insisted on coming, saying he hadn’t seen his girlfriend for a few days and had nothing else going on at home.
“Why don’t we let them go back, and we can…”
“……”
“You’re dreaming quite beautifully, but unfortunately, no!”
Was she the kind of person to forget her friends for a lover?
“Okay, let’s go back first. I still have things for Grandma Li and the others.”
Given her master’s diligent study habits, he was probably still awake at this hour.
Nan Hua smiled helplessly, tapping Qiu Xi’s forehead, “Alright, whatever you say, I’ll listen to you.”
Qiu Xi nodded, “Mm.”
Just as they finished speaking, Zhao Huasheng came running over.
As if he had a radar, he spotted the group immediately.
“Little Yao Yao, I’m here~”
“……”
Song Daiyao already wanted to close her eyes. Picking someone up could be so flamboyant, only this guy could manage it.
Late at night, wearing a bright pink shirt, only he could think of something like this.
“I see you, stop shouting!”
Otherwise, she’d be unable to resist laughing.
“……”
The reunion scene he had envisioned didn’t happen as expected, and Zhao Huasheng was a little puzzled.
There was no hug. Zhao Huasheng, who had raised his hand slightly, lowered it again.
Song Daiyao watched silently, not speaking or acting, but secretly smiling.
“Are you stupid!”
After watching for a long time, this silly fellow actually didn’t move anymore. Song Daiyao had to make the first move.
She ran forward, extended her hands, and hugged him.
“I’m not stupid!”
The person who had been stunned for a few seconds only then reached out to hug her, and couldn’t forget to explain himself.
“……”
Is this the time for explanations?
And he said he wasn’t stupid!
“……”
However, Shen Yan and Liang Yunfei were even more speechless. These two couples completely disregarded them, their two major third wheels!
Especially Shen Yan, she was the only single person present! Even little Feifei couldn’t understand her suffering right now!
In her helplessness, she started taking photos, planning to chat with her newly made friends when she got back.
…
After a long while, someone finally remembered the two of them.
“Yan Yan, little Feifei, why don’t you come back with us?”
Qiu Xi looked at the two over there, who were even more enthusiastic than she and Nan Hua were. It was really difficult to interrupt.
These two were quite shameless. If they went over now, they’d likely be fed dog food again.
“Okay.”
At least they hadn’t forgotten about the two of them. That was good; getting back quickly was the priority.
“Let’s go.”
Before getting into the car, the three said their goodbyes, “Daiyao, we’re heading back first.”
Without waiting for a response, they got into the car and left.
…
“Yan Yan, I’m leaving first. I won’t be back tonight.”
After returning to the dorm and putting her things away, Qiu Xi left.
“Go on, go on. Just don’t cause any fatalities.”
“……”
As soon as she said that, the person who had just stepped out turned back and slapped her, “What are you saying! You want a beating~”
“Alright, alright, hurry up and go. Don’t keep him waiting.”
“I’ll give you a loving caress when I get back!”
“……”
That really wasn’t necessary!
…
“Let’s go. It’s still early. We’ll go to Grandma Li’s place first.”
“Okay.”
After all, they had agreed earlier that the rest of the evening was for him. So, Nan Hua didn’t hesitate and drove off as soon as she was seated.
Before long, they arrived at the place where the two elders lived.
“Take this. I’ll go open the door.”
She divided the gifts into two portions. One was for her master, and the other Nan Hua would take back for Aunt Chu and the others later.
Saying that, she went to open the door.
As it happened, Grandma Li was considerate of her and gave her a key to the house.
Otherwise, sometimes she had to wait a long time to see someone return when she wanted to enter.
“Oh! It’s already dark. Xiao Xi, why are you still coming over?”
Grandma Li, who was pouring water, turned around immediately upon hearing the door open and saw the two of them.
“I just got back. I brought something for you and Master.”
Qiu Xi walked over and linked her arm with Li Minglan’s, “Grandma Li, where’s Master? He should still be awake, right?”
“No! That old fellow, he doesn’t sleep until it’s time. He’s not admitting he’s old at all.”
Speaking of this, Grandma Li also looked helpless, as if there was nothing she could do.
“Okay, then Grandma, please take this. I’ll go up and check on him.”
“Alright. Try to persuade him to go to bed early.”
“Okay~”
Although it might not work, she still had to say it.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Master, can I come in?”
“Come in.”
“It’s so late, why are you running over here?”
Qiu Xi handed over the milk she brought and said, “Master, you know it’s late too, so why aren’t you back in your room sleeping!”
“……”
“Your Grandma Li asked you to come upstairs and say this, didn’t she? That old woman is just too troublesome.”
Du Bin guessed what was going on.
“That’s what I wanted to say too!”
“Master, you’re not admitting you’re old, but you still need to rest early and take care of your health!”
“What elderly person is like you!”
Not listening was one thing, but even imitating young people by staying up late!
That’s not good!
“……”
“Alright, alright! Don’t be like your Grandma Li and nag me. I’ll pack up and go back to my room now, okay?”
Qiu Xi said with a smile, “Okay! But you have to finish this milk too.”
“I really owe the two of you.”
“Here! I’ve finished it. Is that okay?”
Qiu Xi obediently took the cup, “Got it~ Then you rest early!”
“……”
She definitely owed them!
Otherwise, there was no way she would bother an old person like this!
“Indeed, your Master is stubborn, but he does listen to you, this girl.”
Seeing the young girl walk out with the empty cup, smiling, Li Minglan knew the conversation had gone well.
“Yes, Grandma Li, we’re leaving then. We’ll visit again another day.”
Seeing her come out, Nan Hua figured there was nothing else, and pulled Qiu Xi to say goodbye.
“Alright!”
“But you young people should also go back early and rest well~”
It was indeed late, at least it was past the old lady’s bedtime.
So Li Minglan didn’t stop them and let them leave.
