Chapter 349 Cao Shuang's tricks
Chapter 349 Cao Shuang's tricks
September 9th, morning, on the bus back to school.
Lu Yuanqiu and Finkel were sitting in the same row. Finkel was already snoring. Lu Yuanqiu was looking at the trees on the roadside outside the window that were rapidly passing by. He felt a little sleepy, but couldn't fall asleep. Or maybe it was because Finkel's snoring was too loud.
It’s also possible that college unfolded a little differently than he had imagined.
Not everyone in university has good qualities, such as Liu Zixuan.
But what made Lu Yuanqiu feel fortunate was that at least the people in the clinic were quite friendly, including his roommate and the roommate next door.
Some changes seemed to have taken place in Bai Qingxia's body, but she hid it very well, and Lu Yuanqiu only vaguely discovered some clues.
It is said that university is like a small society, a place where you first witness the hierarchy between people.
This girl just got over her father's "specialness" in high school, and now she will probably have to further get over her own background in college.
In fact, in Lu Yuanqiu's heart, she is just a down-and-out princess, but she never thinks of herself as a princess. However, she cares a lot about her down-and-out situation.
Maybe it’s because she is a smart girl. Being too smart means being too sensible and more sensitive inside.
Lu Yuanqiu was daydreaming when his phone suddenly rang with a message.
『Bai Qingxia』: After we get off the car, take me to the place where I can top up my phone bill.
『Lu Yuanqiu』: I can charge it at the supermarket in school. Don’t I need to put my luggage down first?
『Bai Qingxia』: No need.
Lu Yuanqiu's finger hovered over the nine keys. He thought about it and did not continue to send messages to ask.
This girl's sudden determination to be "independent" is frightening.
One bus after another drove under the lush leaves of the sycamore trees and had arrived near the school gate. Some people leaning against the windows suddenly screamed and stood up, leaning against the windows to look at the roadside. Lu Yuanqiu shifted his gaze from his phone and turned to look, only to be wide-eyed on the spot.
On the road next to Zhuda University, a group of boys stood in a long row, each holding a pink cardboard sign with the following words written in artistic calligraphy:
[Lu Yuanqiu wishes Bai Qingxia a happy 18th birthday, may she always be happy and worry-free! ]
Everyone on the roadside was holding a sign, each with only one word on it. The group of people formed a sentence. Cao Shuang was standing at the end, holding up an exclamation mark with both hands, baring his teeth and smiling brightly.
Bai Qingxia, who was sitting in the back row, covered her mouth in surprise, and her face turned red as if it was dyed.
She quickly and quietly reached forward from behind the chair, tugged at Lu Yuanqiu's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Did you ask me to do this?"
Lu Yuanqiu shrugged and glared. He was about to say no, he just asked Cao Shuang to help bring a birthday present... But his brain stopped working for a moment, Lu Yuanqiu still handsomely lifted his hair and said thick-skinnedly: "Yes, that's right, it's me, do you like it?"
Bai Qingxia was stunned. Although she knew that Lu Yuanqiu would remember her birthday, it was still heartwarming to hear it from him.
But this way...
She could imagine that in the future, when Bai Qingxia's name was mentioned in school, someone would say, "Oh, that's the one who's having a birthday!"
The girl lowered her head, looking embarrassed: "You did try your best, but I am... embarrassed."
It's okay, I'm embarrassed too, so when I go down, either Cao Shuang will die or I will die... Lu Yuanqiu thought so in his heart, but he laughed dryly: "For your 18th birthday, of course I have to celebrate it with all my heart. Don't be moved. There will be many more such ceremonies in the future." Bai Qingxia glared at him, she looked out the window again, stared blankly for a few seconds, and finally embarrassedly put her blushing cheeks on her knees.
In the bus coming from behind, Long Liandong noticed the movements of the girls in the front row and turned around to look out the window. She slowly took off her headphones and stared blankly at the scene below. She couldn't help but clench the headphones in her hand tighter.
Liu Wangchun also noticed this scene on another bus. She stood up from her seat excitedly and quickly sent a message to Bai Qingxia: "Lu Yuanqiu is such a romantic guy!"
Bai Qingxia looked at her phone and didn't want to reply, but she wasn't the type to not reply to messages, so she quickly typed a response.
She whispered to Lu Yuanqiu in the front row, "...I'm going back to the dormitory first. Let's talk about topping up the phone credit this afternoon."
Why does it feel like she's going to break?
Lu Yuanqiu: "Don't rush to leave when you get off the car, take the gift first."
Bai Qingxia pursed her lips slightly, unable to resist the temptation of the gift, and nodded.
At this moment, the students in the car were very restless, even Finkel was woken up. Lu Yuanqiu looked at Zhong Jincheng who was lowering his head to send a message. He turned around and looked at Cao Shuang who was lowering his head to look at his mobile phone. In an instant, he understood how Cao Shuang knew what time they would return to school. It must have been Zhong Jincheng who revealed it.
Coincidentally, the bus stopped at the roadside this time instead of driving into the school. Lu Yuanqiu squeezed through the crowd and was the first to get off the bus.
“Brother Qiu!!”
Cao Shuang held up a sign with "exclamation mark" and shook his arms vigorously towards Lu Yuanqiu, his expression showing the excitement of meeting his relatives far away from home.
Lu Yuanqiu said nothing, but just rushed over and beat him for fifty meters.
"Brother Qiu! Brother Qiu! Brother Qiu! I was wrong! I was wrong! Don't break the gift!"
Cao Shuang bent over, smiled and said, "Here, here, here," and handed over a dark blue gift box. He explained, "I don't know how to choose the thing you mentioned, so I asked a girl in our class to help me choose it. It's about three hundred yuan, according to what you said."
Lu Yuanqiu glanced at him unhappily, and while taking out the money, he asked, "Did you hire those people too?"
Cao Shuang suddenly said proudly: "No, they are all my new brothers."
"It's only been half a month since school started and you've already recruited so many followers? How did you do it?" Lu Yuanqiu asked in surprise.
Cao Shuang chuckled and said, "This may be my only advantage."
He took out three hundred from the stack of money that Lu Yuanqiu took out and said, "I'll take the money for the gift. After all, this is your gift to Bai Qingxia, not mine."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded, and then quickly said: "Hurry up and let your group of brothers disperse."
Cao Shuang shook his head and said solemnly: "Liu Zixuan provoked you, I want to teach him a lesson, which car is he in?"
He turned around and prepared to go over, but Lu Yuanqiu quickly held his shoulder and said earnestly:
"Shuangzi, this is college. The high school way is not appropriate. You will make others misunderstand me as a gangster. And I don't want you to be misunderstood by your brothers. I believe they are willing to follow you not to fight with you, but because they see other advantages in you."
Cao Shuang turned around like a fool, touched his short hair, and said, "Brother Qiu, what you said seems to make sense."
