"Alright, you guys head back first. See you tomorrow~"
"Okay, bye~"
At the hotel entrance, Qiu Xi was saying goodbye to her roommates.
After the meal, Qiu Xi and Nan Hua didn't plan to go back to school directly, so after they finished eating, they were preparing to go their separate ways.
Since there were no classes tomorrow, Liang Yunfei planned to send her boyfriend back and then go to her company.
As for the other four, they still had to obediently return to school.
So Zhao Huasheng drove, and the four headed towards the school.
"Ah Hua, shall we go too?"
Standing at the entrance, Qiu Xi looked at the car that had already driven away and said.
"Mm."
However, as the car drove further, Qiu Xi realized that the route seemed a bit off.
"Ah Hua, didn't you say we were going home?"
Before Qiu Xi returned, Nan Hua had told her that after finishing his work today, it would be very late. To avoid the hassle of going back to the dormitory late at night, he had told her they wouldn't be returning to the dormitory but going home.
This way, she could get a good night's sleep, as she had been quite tired from the past couple of days.
But looking at the road ahead, Qiu Xi wondered where they were going, as it wasn't towards the Nan family or the Qiu family.
On the contrary, Nan Hua smiled relaxedly, "Yes, we're going home."
If Qiu Xi didn't know this person well, she would have started to doubt him!
Late at night, on an unfamiliar route, anyone would be confused, right?
Fortunately, she had some means, and Qiu Xi understood Nan Hua very well, so she didn't dwell on it further for the rest of the journey.
Until... the car drove into a small villa!
Qiu Xi specifically checked the map's location. It wasn't far from the school, quite close in terms of distance.
By this time, if Qiu Xi still didn't understand, she wouldn't be Qiu Xi.
However, she didn't ask or say much, waiting for Nan Hua to explain.
"Xi Xi, we're here."
Saying that, Nan Hua got out of the car first.
Before getting the luggage, he specifically went around to open the car door for the girl.
"Get out first, I'll explain later."
Only then did Qiu Xi nod and get out.
"Come in."
"I bought it not long ago, and it's quite close to the school."
"I originally planned to tell you next semester, but I couldn't resist, so I brought you here early."
"Are you angry?"
Nan Hua said softly. As soon as they entered, he changed from holding her hand to embracing her, carrying her directly to the sofa.
Qiu Xi wasn't surprised. She leaned into him, her fair little hand touching his throat, "Mm... are you up to no good~"
"Aren't you afraid I'll be angry?"
Nan Hua chuckled and pulled her little hand, which was causing mischief, downwards, "Afraid~"
"So I'm obediently explaining to you~"
"How is it, is my attitude acceptable?"
Since she was going to play along, how could he back down!
As he spoke, the arm around her stealthily reached under her clothes to caress her waist.
As they moved, Qiu Xi's other hand had already moved away.
Pouting, she said, "Fine~ You're barely qualified."
Saying that, Qiu Xi stood up, feeling she should tidy up and rest.
"Then no reward?" Nan Hua asked with a smile, pulling her hand again.
Qiu Xi turned her head, "???"
Didn't she forgive him?
What kind of robber's logic was this?
And in the brief moment of Qiu Xi's confusion, she had already fallen back into her original position.
"Mmm~"
In just a second, her path was blocked.
Her hands, which had been struggling at first, slowly wrapped around him again.
The atmosphere instantly changed...
Half an hour later-
The person on the verge of losing control managed to regain a little reason.
"Xi Xi~"
"It's getting late, let me take you upstairs first."
His shirt slightly pulled out to cover himself a bit, Nan Hua got up and prepared to take her upstairs to put away their things.
It was like trying to hide something that was obvious, but even if you hadn't eaten pork, you'd seen pigs run!
Qiu Xi, who was stunned, watched the person walking ahead, her cheeks still flushed.
If only she had known...
But there were no "if onlys."
After spacing out for a while, she was already being led to the room.
"Xi Xi, you get settled first, and get some sleep early tonight."
"I'll wake you up tomorrow."
When Nan Hua had seen her at school, he already knew she had to go to the office tomorrow.
"Clack~"
The sound of a door closing.
After a long while, Qiu Xi came back to her senses.
Looking at the prepared pajamas, her mind was somewhere else. She took out other clothes from the suitcase and wobbled towards the bathroom.
After coming out, she lay down on the bed and started to roll up in the blankets...
Ahhh ahhh ahhh...
Did she look incredibly foolish just now?
The dazed Qiu Xi tossed and turned on the bed for a long time...
Finally, due to lack of energy, she fell asleep.
The next day, when she was woken up, she was still dazed for a long time.
Seeing this, Nan Hua wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud... he just watched her wash up.
After Qiu Xi finished washing up, he gently led her to the dining room downstairs with a smile.
"Okay, let's have breakfast."
"We still have time now. I'll take you to school later."
"Mm..." By this time, Qiu Xi had regained her senses...
But she still pretended as if nothing had happened, responding to Nan Hua.
"By the way, in a couple of days, I'll pick up Grandpa Du and the others. You just stay at school. I'll pick you up from school on the way back."
"Mm? Master and the others are coming?"
At this moment, Qiu Xi's mind was no longer on any inappropriate thoughts.
"Yes, their flight is in a couple of days."
Perhaps not wanting to disturb Xi Xi, Grandpa Du had called home a few days ago and said he would be coming in a couple of days.
The family had initially planned to arrange for someone to pick them up, but in the end, Grandpa said to have him go.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Just come find me then."
As for why he hadn't told her this... she understood without asking.
He and Teacher Ding didn't want to disturb her with the competition matters these past two days...
"Mm."
After breakfast, Nan Hua took her back to school.
