Hua Jin Plaza—
"Xiao Xi, have you gotten even more beautiful behind my back?" Hua Linglong playfully slung an arm around Qiu Xi's shoulder.
"No, I haven't, don't wrongly accuse me." A triple denial. If I don't admit it, you can't do anything to me. This was Qiu, the "rogue," Xi's golden rule.
"I wouldn't blame you if you dared. I'm telling you..."
"Let's go, the private room is already booked." Ni Xue interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
Tang Si Ran and Ni Xue stood to the side. They had noticed Qiu Xi's change, but it was within the realm of what they could understand. Besides, the four of them each had their own unique charm and were all good-looking.
Perhaps this was what people meant when they said that if you spend enough time with your good-looking friends, in your eyes, their appearance becomes similar to your own.
"Let's go."
The four chatted as they headed to the KTV where their private room was booked.
The first stop of the gathering: karaoke.
"Among thousands of doors, one person must always leave first..."
"A faint smile, I know the dreams of childhood. Don't cry, let the fireflies lead you to run..."
...
"Are you guys okay?" Qiu Xi couldn't hold on any longer. She had been belting out songs all afternoon and felt completely drained.
"Cough, cough, it seems we're not doing so well." Hua Linglong felt like her throat was on fire, as if they had played a bit too hard.
"Let's go, I can't do this anymore." Ni Xue slumped on the KTV room's sofa, exhausted.
"Let's go, let's get some drinks outside and then have dinner." Tang Si Ran herself was doing alright. After all, for someone like her who wasn't entirely in tune, the only things she could embarrass herself with were those few songs. Hahahaha~
"Let's go."
A moment later, a group of exhausted individuals ambled out of the KTV entrance.
"Phew, I'm finally alive again." Hua Linglong, who had just finished eating and was feeling refreshed, suddenly regained her liveliness.
"That was great. What's next?" Qiu Xi asked, her posture having changed from her earlier slumped state.
"Hmm, it's almost 7 o'clock." Tang Si Ran checked the time, feeling a bit regretful. It was almost time to go home.
"How about a few of us go for a stroll, and then find a hotel to stay the night? What do you guys think?" Qiu Xi noticed the time and, after glancing at the others, made a suggestion.
"Can we?" Clearly, upon hearing this, Tang Si Ran's spirits immediately lifted.
"Of course," Hua Linglong suddenly quipped with a playful tone.
"No problem."
"Goodbye."
Watching the figures who had already departed, Qiu Xi thought: See you next time!
