âAre you alright?â Sheng Xu smiled.
âIâm fine. Why would I not?â Shi Qian said in a relaxed tone.
âHave you heard someone must have expelled you?â Lu Sizhe laughed.
âI heard about it, so I quickly came back.â Shi Qianâs lips curled up. Her tone didnât convey urgency, although she said she had to come.
Sheng Xu said, âItâs good that youâre back. Donât run around if you have nothing to do. There are bad people outside.â
Shi Qian chuckled and said, âOh, are you free in the afternoon? My treat.â
Shi Qian was in a bad mood the last day they met before she left for the Ninth Province. Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe were worried about her and even bought her snacks as if they were coaxing a little girl.
Shi Qian wanted to treat them to a meal to express her gratitude.
âI have time, but Lu Sizhe doesnât,â Sheng Xu said immediately.
Lu Sizhe was at a loss for words.
âOf course, I have time!â
Shi Qian looked at Lu Sizhe and asked, âHow about this afternoon?â
Lu Sizhe glanced sideways at Sheng Xu. âHmm, Something might come up.â
âOh.â Shi Qian nodded in understanding. âAnother day then. When you two are free, Iâll treat you.â
Sheng Xu was dumbfounded.
Lu Sizhe couldnât help but laugh.
âLetâs settle for another day. I have to go. Bye for now.â
She left afterward.
Lu Sizhe looked at Sheng Xu gloatingly and said, âDo you know what that is? You will die of regret if you do more injustice next time!â
Sheng Xu, this fellow, treated Shi Qian like a completely different person the moment he met her.
That is karma for the game.
âGet lost!â
Sheng Xu left gloomily. After a few steps, he said, âTell Shi Qian youâre okay this afternoon.â
âI have something to do.â
Sheng Xu was speechless.
Shi Muxue stood unmoved in the same spot. She thought about how Shi Qian slipped through the expulsion. Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe repeatedly laughed. That intensified her jealousy even more.
âB*tch, on the surface, you refused to torture Sheng Xu. But the truth, you were seducing Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe!â
Shi Muxue narrowed her eyes and turned to leave.
In the Administrative Building Office.
Zhuang Shuyu sat on the chair with an ugly expression.
She did not expect Shi Qianâs expulsion to depart quickly. The board of administrators initially agreed to expel Shi Qian because of the Jiang familyâs influence. But they suddenly deviated from a unanimous decision and protected Shi Qian with a more overbearing disposition.
Zhuang Shuyu couldnât use the Jiang familyâs name to do these things to the Imperial University. She had to think about this matter carefully.
However, she would never let that little vixen off easily!
She pondered on Shi Qianâs attitude towards her and the disgusting scene where she apologized for the mistake in the surveillance room. Zhuang Shuyu felt a wave of anger in her heart.
Shi Qian walked into the classroom.
Her gaze landed on Wen Keâer.
Wen Keâer saw Shi Qian arrive, and she immediately waved at her. âQianqian!â
Shi Qian smiled and walked towards her.
Wen Keâer looked at Shi Qian. They sat down, and Wen Keâer muttered, âQianqian, youâre finally back. 1 would have believed the school had expelled you if you hadnât come here now.â
Shi Qian smiled, âDonât worry, I wonât.â
âI know, they couldnât do it.â Wen Keâer giggled.
It was one fine afternoon at the university.
Shi Qianâs phone on the table vibrated before the class ended.
She glanced at the screen. It was Lu Sizhe.
Then, she picked up her phone and answered in a low voice, âHello.â
Lu Sizhe responded through the receiver. âQianqian, I am free in the afternoon. Why donât we meet in the afternoon?â
Shi Qian chuckled. She didnât believe that Lu Sizhe was in trouble at first. It was just what Sheng Xu said.
âOkay, then Iâll see you at the school gate after class.â
âAlright, Sheng Xu and I will wait for you at the gate..â
