" Huo Yuhao, Brother Huo, today is the last day, please, please teach us!" Zhou Sichen shamelessly clung to Huo Yuhao's leg, pleading tearfully.
While Zhou Sichen was cleaning the Baoqian area, he suddenly spotted Huo Yuhao. Without even putting down the broom, he rushed over and hugged Huo Yuhao's leg. Cao Jinxuan, who was standing next to him, also immediately followed.
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Sichen, who was hugging him, with a puzzled expression, while Xiao Xiao was even more shocked.
It's not Zhou Sichen's fault at all. Ever since he was in the same class as Huo Yuhao, he has always tried to find opportunities to get close to Huo Yuhao, but as soon as class is over, Huo Yuhao is either taken away by Wang Dong'er, or by the time he goes to find him, Huo Yuhao has already disappeared.
Even though they'd been classmates for a month, he and Huo Yuhao hadn't even had a chance to talk. After sweeping through Baoqian District for half a month, he finally found an opportunity.
"Wait, who are you?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
Zhou Sichen was a little surprised, but quickly recovered. "Brother Huo, I'm Zhou Sichen, and this is Cao Jinxuan. We met during the freshman assessment, and we're classmates now."
Cao Jinxuan nodded repeatedly, looking on with anticipation.
Xiao Xiao looked at the two of them, holding a large bag of groceries in her arms, and covered her mouth with one hand, giggling softly.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Huo Yuhao was amused by the two of them. He touched the broom by his feet with one hand, which stung a little from Zhou Sichen's forceful touch.
Zhou Sichen felt a little embarrassed. He threw down the broom in his hand, and after confirming that Huo Yuhao wouldn't leave, he dusted himself off and stood up.
"Is there anything you need? If not, I'll be going now," Huo Yuhao said politely, holding up the paper bag in his hand.
"Class Monitor Xiao Xiao." The two greeted Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao nodded in response.
"Brother Huo, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..." Cao Jinxuan said with a shy smile.
"Hehehe, Brother Huo, this is actually very simple..." Zhou Sichen rubbed his hands together, looking lewd.
That sudden lewd expression made Xiao Xiao take a half step back, her pretty face furrowing slightly as she hid behind Huo Yuhao before slowly relaxing.
"Then there's no need to talk about it. I have something to do, so I'll be going now. See you next semester." Huo Yuhao left without looking back.
Before the two could react, Huo Yuhao swiftly led Xiao Xiao away from the Yibanqian District.
Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan were completely dumbfounded. By the time they remembered to chase after them, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao were nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it, Cao Jinxuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Look, this opportunity we finally found has been wasted like this. It feels like I'm watching my youth wave goodbye to me." Zhou Sichen cried, picking up a broom from the ground.
Cao Jinxuan was furious at being wrongly accused and shouted at Zhou Sichen, "How can you blame me for this!"
"Alright, alright, you have to take responsibility for what you did." Zhou Sichen vigorously swept the fallen leaves in the protected area.
"You're talking nonsense. You didn't say anything just now, did you?" Cao Jinxuan retorted.
After thinking it over carefully, Zhou Sichen realized that both of them bore some responsibility, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Hurry up and sweep the floor for me," Zhou Sichen suddenly blurted out.
Cao Jinxuan frowned, his displeasure growing. He could forgive being blamed earlier, but now she wanted to assign him the task?
He wouldn't stand for this and immediately roared, " Zhou Sichen, I...!"
"Godfather, please accept my bow!"
Zhou Sichen directly cupped his hands and sincerely called out, effectively silencing Cao Jinxuan's words.
"You..." Cao Jinxuan's anger instantly dissipated.
"Godfather, is there something you're not satisfied with?" Zhou Sichen asked with a smile.
Zhou Sichen's address of "godfather" was truly spot-on, and Cao Jinxuan really couldn't hold anything against it; the title of "godfather" was more important than anything else!
He immediately forgave Zhou Sichen, and even felt a little relieved.
After all, no guy can refuse his best friend calling him godfather.
"Alright, give me a broom, and I'll reluctantly sweep for you," Cao Jinxuan said with a light cough, feigning seriousness.
"Okay!"
Zhou Sichen immediately handed over the broom.
"Oh, right, Jinxuan, you're treating everyone to dinner later," Zhou Sicheng reminded him as he swept the floor.
Cao Jinxuan was a little confused. "No, when did I say I was going to treat you to a meal?" He stopped what he was doing and stared at Cao Jinxuan in confusion.
"Godfather!"
"Okay, okay..."
The tension between the two instantly eased, and they resolved to find a good opportunity to talk to Huo Yuhao next semester and learn from his experience.
Of course, none of this is about figuring out how to find a girl to date.
" Huo Yuhao, why did you take so long to get here?" Wang Dong'er sat on a small stool, her white fingers stained with a little green and soil. The lawn by the Sea God Lake had been completely stripped bare.
She had been waiting here for a long time; she wouldn't have come if Huo Yuhao hadn't left a note in the dormitory!
She initially thought it was just her and Huo Yuhao, but as Huo Yuhao approached, her gaze also fell upon Huo Yuhao Xiao Xiao behind him.
Wang Dong'er's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an icy chill. " Yuhao invited me today, some people shouldn't make a fool of themselves," Wang Dong'er said, her eyes narrowing and her body tense, ready to strike at any moment.
" Wang Dong'er, do you think I'm afraid? Besides, I was the one who asked Yuhao to call you. After all, we're teammates." Xiao Xiao said generously.
Xiao Xiao placed the ingredients she was holding on the open ground and helped Huo Yuhao take out the prepared items one by one.
"After all, this is the last day. Let's have a meal together and see you next semester. By the way, this doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. Yuhao, I won't give up," Xiao Xiao added.
Huo Yuhao was holding a small knife and cutting up the pieces of meat he had just bought, intending to make them into kebabs.
Wang Dong'er didn't say anything, but walked over directly, snatched the meat away, and cut it into pieces before Huo Yuhao could speak.
Seeing that she was doing a good job, Huo Yuhao didn't disturb her, but instead went to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was currently tending to the charcoal fire, but after working on it for quite some time, Xiao Xiao only managed to produce a few sparks and some black smoke. Her fair face was stained with some black, and she coughed every now and then, looking like a little tabby cat.
Huo Yuhao originally planned to use a barbecue grill, but Xiao Xiao said that charcoal grilling makes it more fragrant, so the two of them went out early in the morning to buy some charcoal.
"I'll do it."
Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and took Xiao Xiao's two small hands in his, carefully moving her away from the charcoal pile and gently making her stand to the side.
Huo Yuhao took out a flint and steel, and with a "click," the tinder on the pile of charcoal was ignited, and the charcoal quickly turned red.
" Yuhao, you're amazing! Muah~"
Xiao Xiao kissed Huo Yuhao on the cheek, gazing at him tenderly.
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, and a small knife was stuck straight into the grass between the two of them.
" Wang Dong'er! What are you doing!" Xiao Xiao shouted angrily.
Wang Dong'er smiled dismissively, her slender fingers gliding between the slices of meat. She then pulled out a small knife. "Sorry, my hand slipped," she said, wiping the dirt off the knife before sitting back down.
Xiao Xiao was furious. She had finally managed to create a slightly ambiguous atmosphere, but Wang Dong'er had interrupted it.
Ugh, so annoying! I knew I shouldn't have called her!
