Chapter 49 You Didn't Come To See Me, Did You?

Tian Zhiyin didn't make any noise for a week after she came back, and the other three people just ignored her and let her stay in the dormitory.

The social event between the Dance Association and University B was jointly organized by the two schools. It was held at the gymnasium in the city center, and it was scheduled for [-] o'clock on Friday night.

All the students who participated in the activity had been approved as leave. Qiao Muli sat in the evening self-study classroom, constantly pressing the phone screen to check the time.

Pan Zheng was so absorbed in her homework that she didn't notice her movements.

Ding Ran hated high math the most, so he threw his books and notebooks aside, and turned his phone sideways to follow anime. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qiao Muli looking at his phone, and couldn't help but ask, "Mu Li, are you in a hurry to finish class?"

She seemed to have just realized that she cared more about time, and she was stunned for a while before answering: "Well, I have something to do in a while."

"Do you want me and Zhengzheng to accompany you? It happens to be Saturday tomorrow, so you don't have to get up early, you can go shopping together."

Qiao Muli rolled his eyes, and quickly thought of an excuse, "I probably can't do it tonight, I have to... meet a friend."

Ding Ran is pure in heart, she will believe what anyone she trusts says, so she doesn't take it to heart, she nodded knowingly, turned back and continued watching anime.

Pan Zheng stopped writing, raised her head and gave Qiao Muli a deep look, "Tonight? What a coincidence."

"Coin...coincident what?"

Qiao Muli knew that Pan Zheng was very observant, and he might also know about the friendship between Western University and B University, and it might be clear that Li Jing also participated.

"Today is Crazy Friday!" Pan Zheng's eyes lit up, "[-]% off bookstore exercise books!"

Ding Ran was taking a sip of milk tea when he spit out her words, and then wiped the screen of his phone distressedly.

Qiao Muli choked, as expected, she was overthinking.

"Zhengzheng is indeed a model worker in our dormitory!" Ding Ran gave her a thumbs up.

The bell for the end of get out of class rang at this time, and Qiao Muli got up quickly, "Thank you for helping me take the book back."

Pan Zheng just covered her book, and when she looked up, she was no longer there.

"That friend of hers...should be very important, right?"

The last time Ding Ran saw her in such a hurry, he rushed back to play the game. It seems that the person he wants to meet this time is equally important.

When Qiao Muli left the school gate, she saw Tian Zhiyin's figure. She only glanced at her and then looked away, and got into the car of Liu Wu who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Tian Zhiyin walked quickly to the bus platform, and the Rolls Royce passed her by.

She raised her head inadvertently, and saw Qiao Muli's profile through the half-open car window in a daze.

"It can't be Qiao Muli..." Tian Zhiyin shook her head, "How could she know such a rich person?"

But then she stopped abruptly, "If it was really Qiao Muli who was in the car just now, then it would make sense for someone to help her behind the scenes..."

Tian Zhiyin laughed viciously, "Qiao Muli has a benefactor, if her suitors find out, they will definitely avoid her."

Liu Wu parked the car on the side of the road and looked at Qiao Muli who was about to get off, "Miss, what event are you participating in?"

She closed the car door and glanced at him, "Don't ask too many questions."

He rubbed the back of his head in confusion, "Miss used to answer smoothly, why is she so mysterious today."

Qiao Muli deliberately tied up his usual hair, and wore a beige fisherman hat with the brim pressed down, revealing only a delicate and small chin.

She followed the prompts in the venue to find the place all the way. Because the brim of the hat was pressed too low, most of the sight was blocked, so she could only look up at the sign.

Looking at the effort ahead, I didn't notice someone on the side, and suddenly bumped into someone's shoulder.

Qiao Muli hastily apologized: "I'm sorry I didn't notice..."

"Qiao Muli?" A playful voice sounded from above his head.

She paused, squeezed her throat deliberately and said in a rough voice, "You've got the wrong person."

Qiao Muli bent down to go around him, but his wrist was grabbed.

"What are you running for? I recognize you even when you turn into ashes."

"Li Jing, can you stop saying such unlucky words?" She raised the brim of her hat angrily, revealing her whole face.

Li Jing let go of her, and said with a light smile, "What are you doing here? There doesn't seem to be anyone you know here, right?"

She stumbled and tried to explain, "Who... who said no?"

Leaning against the wall, he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, "Tell me."

Qiao Muli's eyes fluttered around nervously, and he bit his lip for a long time without saying a name.

Li Jing stood up straight, with his right hand leaning against the wall, leaned slightly to approach her, and the smile on his lips deepened, "You didn't come to see me, did you?"

She looked up in astonishment, panic flashed in her bright eyes.

It was as if there was a deep spring in his eyes, so dark that it was so dark that her heart stopped beating.

Qiao Muli turned her eyes away, and her eyes just fell on his right wrist. The red briar tattoo burned her eyes like flames.

"Muli, I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here?" Tian Zhiyin's surprised voice came from behind.

She trotted over, glanced at Li Jing timidly, and blushed quickly.

Although Qiao Muli doesn't like Tian Zhiyin, only by cooperating with her can Li Jing's suspicion be dispelled.

"I just came out of the toilet and got a little lost."

Li Jing's smile subsided a little, his eyes were calm and unwavering, "It turns out that he didn't come here alone."

Tian Zhiyin spoke first: "I asked Mu Li to accompany me. My friend Zhang Yuan is also one of the contestants participating in the event."

There was indeed a man named Zhang Yuan among the colleagues. He raised his hand and pushed down the brim of Qiao Muli's hat, "Okay."

Li Jing passed by the two of them and entered the room with the lounge sign.

Qiao Muli was about to ask Tian Zhiyin why she came, but then she thought that with Li Jing here, she would naturally not miss this opportunity.

"Mulli, shall we sit in the auditorium first?"

Tian Zhiyin eagerly wanted to hold her hand, but was gently pushed away.

"No, I won't go in."

Qiao Muli refused coldly, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the stadium.

The moment Tian Zhiyin turned around, her originally smiling face sank. "What's there to pretend?"

Seeing Qiao Muli's return, Liu Wu asked in surprise, "Why did Miss come back so soon?"

She rested on the rearview mirror with one hand, and looked at the people in the car with almond eyes. "Is there any place in this stadium where you can clearly see the stage in the stadium?"

He immediately took out his mobile phone and searched, "There is a place, but miss, it's the place where the lighting engineer is in charge of dimming. There is no air conditioner, so it will be very hot."

"Just let me go up."

While calling the staff of the venue, Liu Wu thought: What is so sacred inside that the young lady is willing to be wronged and stand in a corner?
