Serenade

Jin Xi brought several bags of snacks to Bo Yan in order to increase her "price". Bo Yan had always regarded these puffed foods as "junk food" that caused constipation.

Bo Yan discussed with Jin Xi about taking these snacks to the dormitory building to resell them. At night, those strong guys were often hungry after the dormitory was locked. Reselling snacks could double the price. They planned to split the profit fifty-fifty.

Bo Yan hit Jin Xi's head with a book: "Dream on."

For the next few days, Xu Chaoyang could hear the "crunch, crunch" sound from under the table every night.

He lowered his head to see Boss Bo's long legs on the table, reading a book while crunching on chips, eating with great relish.

Xu Chaoyang leaned over and said with great sadness: "Boss Bo, I know you don't like to eat this junk food. As a brother, I can share your worries..."

After saying that, he stretched his evil paws towards Bo Yan's potato chips. Bo Yan didn't stop him. Xu Chaoyang was overjoyed to grab the potato chips, only to find the bag empty.

"Fuck! What kind of appetite do you have to finish it so quickly!"

Jin Xi mocked Xu Chaoyang: "If it wasn't finished, it wouldn't have fallen into your hands."

"He doesn't usually have a big appetite and hates snacks the most."

"It also depends on who gave the snacks."

Xu Chaoyang was so angry that his teeth itched. He felt Bo Yan was too much.

Ever since he and Shen Ping Chuan reached a tacit gentleman's agreement, Jin Xi's status in Xu Chaoyang's eyes had surpassed him, her nagging mentor.

Now the two of them were getting along very well.

Every night, Bo Yan would take Jin Xi for a night run, under the guise of strengthening the body. But it was just an excuse to spend time alone with her.

In addition to running at night, Jin Xi had to report her daily life and study to Boss Bo every day.

Most were trivial things. As Bo Yan looked at the messages popping up on his phone from time to time, his eyes would gentle a lot.

Two days later was the National Day holiday.

Lin Luo had it the worst. She was suddenly taken by her family on a spur of the moment trip to Mount Tai.

She sent a video in the group chat. The video was crowded with people, bustling and impenetrable at a glance.

The poor Northeastern girl was stuck on the crowded cloud ladder, looking completely hopeless as she was squeezed like a meat patty.

She could only move up one step every ten seconds. Maintaining this frequency, she climbed for a full two hours before finally reaching the ticket counter.

However...the photos Lin Luo posted on Moments were of the morning glow and clouds framing Mount Tai's pines, with the caption:

"The place where emperors performed the Fengshan sacrifice since ancient times, the rich cultural heritage and stunning natural scenery make one feel carefree and elated. The body and mind are both on the road, hehe!"

Jin Xi: ...

Chu Zhao: Fucking bitch

Now only Chu Zhao and Jin Xi were left. They didn't have enough people to play escape room.

Chu Zhao: "Call your brother too."

Jin Xi: "Uncle Shen grounded Shen Ping Chuan and won't let him go anywhere during the National Day."

Sitting on the sofa in a dog squat, Shen Ping Chuan said to Jin Xi: "Why don't you ask Uncle Shen to let your brother out to mess around for a day?"

Jin Xi: "The likely result would be Uncle Shen, moved by the deep affection between us siblings, would ask me to stay and accompany you during your grounding."

"That works too. Watching horror movies together at home is not bad either."

Jin Xi lifted her bare feet and kicked her brother, deliberately provoking him: "Watching horror movies alone creates more atmosphere. I'm going to the escape room with stupid Chu Zhao!"

"Hey! How can you two girls play with so few people?"

"I just called to make a reservation. The owner said he could help match us with other players."

Shen Ping Chuan was a little worried: "Call Bo Yan to go with you. It's better with more guys."

"Bo Yan, huh." Jin Xi hesitated. "Should we really call him?"

"Who do you think sent you two boxes of milk for no reason? From now on, feel free to order him around, don't be shy at all!"

Jin Xi sent a text message to Bo Yan.
