Back home, Su Yun continued studying.
She hoped that good grades would make Qin Xue’s older sister satisfied.
......
After studying for two and a half hours, it quickly became 2 PM.
Su Yun couldn’t wait to tidy up her books and pack them into her bag, ready to go to Qin Xue’s house.
Before going downstairs, she deliberately glanced at room 1102.
“Should I bring her to study together...”
If Xia Rou and Qin Xue became friends, since Qin Xue was such a nice person, Xia Rou should be happy too.
Thinking back to the little episode during their phone call earlier, Su Yun decided she’d talk it over properly and figured the two could become friends.
“Alright, let’s do it.” After deciding, Su Yun walked to 1102’s door and knocked.
“Xia Rou, it’s me, want to hang out?”
“Click...” Soon the door opened, and a little head peeked out.
“Where to hang out?” Xia Rou’s voice was weak.
“Well...”
Su Yun then explained her idea.
“No, no, just you two is fine. I can’t be the third wheel...” Xia Rou’s voice got even weaker, like she wanted to run away.
“Hey, it’s not just the two of us. She has a big family, probably... nearly ten people? All girls, and around our age.”
“Oh, really that many?”
Hearing it wasn’t just the two of them, Xia Rou seemed a bit tempted. She stepped out fully, and only then did Su Yun see her whole appearance.
Her clothes and hair looked messy, like she just got out of bed.
Still, she looked pretty cute.
“Yes, so are you coming? I’ll speak up for you, don’t be afraid. We’ll study together.”
“...”
“Mm!” Xia Rou finally nodded and went back inside to pack.
Su Yun waited at the door, and after a few minutes, a pretty girl appeared before her.
“Let’s go.” Xia Rou carried a small bag, wearing thick pants and long sleeves, but you could still see an enticing curve on her chest.
Xia Rou had a nice figure, but unlike other girls, she didn’t wear skirts or revealing clothes. She dressed like Su Yun in boys’ clothes, hiding her shape.
But Su Yun knew well enough that one hand wasn’t enough to grab. In college, that was pretty good.
As for Qin Xue... well, two hands.
Ahem.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
Su Yun quickly pushed away the awkward thoughts in her head and headed out with Xia Rou.
......
It took about forty minutes before Su Yun’s ride brought Xia Rou to that villa.
Throughout the journey, Su Yun was pretty excited. After all, it was the first time she invited a girl out, and Xia Rou was the obedient type — whatever she said, Xia Rou did.
Xia Rou got in the car and asked if she should sit in the front or beside Su Yun, like she was waiting for Su Yun’s command.
Su Yun was a bit surprised and thought about letting her sit beside her.
She even wondered if Xia Rou would agree to sit on her lap.
But she only thought about it because she was very focused, once she had a target, she wouldn’t chase others.
As for who that target was... you guess.
Later, when they arrived at Qin Xue’s house, since there was an extra person, Su Yun called Qin Xue first. After Qin Xue agreed, the security guard let them in.
“Who’s she?” Right after entering, they saw Qin Xue waiting by the door.
Qin Xue was lightly dressed, arms crossed, her striking figure giving off an intimidating aura.
Her complexion didn’t look good either, and her sharp gaze fixed unblinkingly on Xia Rou.
“Just a friend, her name’s Xia Rou, she lives next door. You’ve talked on the phone before.”
“Oh.” Looking at Su Yun’s happy face, Qin Xue’s expression darkened.
“I’m Xia Rou, Sister Xue, nice to meet you.” Xia Rou bowed politely to Qin Xue.
“...”
“Come in.” Qin Xue hesitated, but finally agreed for Su Yun’s sake.
“Sister, who is she?” Inside Qin Xue’s room, Qin Yuanyuan shrank behind her sister as soon as she saw the stranger.
“She’s Xiaoyun’s friend. We’ll study together later.”
“Eh...” Qin Yuanyuan looked scared.
Su Yun wasn’t surprised by this, since she hadn't even gotten close with Qin Yuanyuan after so long. How could Xia Rou get along on the first day?
“Little sister?” Xia Rou looked at the tiny girl and seemed to have an idea. She pulled out some candies from her pocket.
“Here, sweet ones.” She slowly approached Qin Yuanyuan and held out her hand.
“I don’t want it.” Qin Yuanyuan immediately shook her head to refuse, but Xia Rou still stuffed the candies into her hand.
“Eh...”
Then Su Yun saw that silly little sister Qin Yuanyuan actually ate the candy.
“So sweet, thank you, sister!” Qin Yuanyuan sounded happy.
Goodness, don’t tell me a few candies could bribe her.
“Like it, huh? I have lots more, want some?” Xia Rou pulled out more than ten candies, as if they were endless.
Su Yun wondered why Xia Rou brought so many candies, but before she could think more, Xia Rou suddenly placed her hand on Qin Yuanyuan’s head and started patting it.
Qin Yuanyuan looked happy and didn’t resist.
“...” Su Yun watched, speechless.
At the same time, Qin Xue turned to look at her little sister.
Sure enough, because of their mother’s strict, forceful education, the little sister was a bit dumb.
How could she just eat things given by someone she barely knew?
At this moment, Qin Xue and Su Yun exchanged a glance, full of helplessness and worry.
But Qin Yuanyuan’s action quickly helped Xia Rou blend into the environment. They began sitting around the round table in Qin Xue’s room to study.
However, the four girls weren’t in the same major, and one was a sophomore who couldn’t really teach anything, so everyone just studied on their own.
But having this atmosphere was good enough.
Su Yun knew that with Qin Xue nearby, she studied much harder.
She wanted to study hard and gain the approval of Qin Xue’s strict older sister!
If possible, she also wanted to try easing the tension between the sisters, since Qin Xue seemed quite unhappy.
“Xiaoyun, come here.”
“Eh, what is it?” Mid-study, Qin Xue suddenly took her hand and led her out of the room.
By the wall outside, Qin Xue pressed both hands near Su Yun’s head, squeezing her so there was no space to escape.
“Sister Xue, what’s up?”
“~” Qin Xue didn’t answer, just quietly smiled.
In this peaceful moment, Su Yun suddenly felt the girl in front of her was like a beautiful flower growing in a greenhouse, quietly blooming, lucky that only she could see it.
But beautiful as she was, Su Yun soon noticed something was off with Qin Xue.
“You’re staring at me, why don’t you say something?”
“Want Xiaoyun to give me a kiss? I think that’ll make studying more motivated.” After waiting a while, Qin Xue finally spoke.
“?”
Su Yun heard that sweet, clingy voice near her head and looked up in disbelief.
“Xiaoyun, come kiss me~” Qin Xue saw Su Yun look up, thinking she was going to kiss her, she moved her face closer.
Eh...
Seeing the girl’s increasingly rosy face so close, Su Yun panicked.
“Mmph...” Qin Xue’s face got pushed.
At this moment, Su Yun raised both little hands and placed them on Qin Xue’s soft face.
“Pervert... no.”
“Xiaoyun called me a pervert, wow.” Qin Xue lowered her head to look.
Su Yun’s face looked especially pink now, and with her two small hands weakly blocking (or so it seemed), Qin Xue got even more excited.
Her voice was soft and cute, I really wanted it, Xiaoyun~
“If you give me a kiss, I promise your friend can come to my house every day, no need for you to bring her. How about that?” Qin Xue thought for a moment and made this offer.
“Eh, really...” Su Yun heard this and was indeed tempted. Slowly, she lowered her hands.
