Chapter Seventeen: A "Peaceful" Life

  Xia Qian Ning quickly adapted to life here. The school is okay, although it's a bit small, the teaching is still quite rigorous and the campus atmosphere is pretty good. The only thing that makes her uncomfortable is the weather here, it's too cold, but by mid-October, she was already wearing sweaters.

  Xia Qian Ning walked into the classroom.

  "Beautiful girl!" Mingde saw Xianying didn't react and continued: "The beautiful girl wearing a blue sweater!"

  Xia Qian Ning didn't know how she got so many nicknames, of course, she didn't know that Ming De was calling her. She sat down and put away her backpack, taking out the book for the first class. Just as she had arranged the books on her desk, Ming De picked them up. Qian Ning looked up at Ming De, not knowing what he meant.

  "Can't you hear me calling you?"

  "Who? Calling me?"

  "Beautiful girl! The beautiful girl in blue sweater!" Mingde repeated.

  Xia Xian looked at Ming De coldly. Because she saw that Ming De was also wearing a blue shirt under his school uniform, if she was the 'blue-shirt beauty', then he should be the 'super blue-shirt beauty'. Moreover, he was actually wearing a pair of pink pearl earrings, it was the first time in her life that she had seen a boy wear something so...

  "My god! Are you trying to kill me or fall in love with me, staring at me so nakedly?"

  "Is that so? 'Beauty' to 'beauty', it's normal to give each other the cold shoulder, this is in line with the psychology of a normal person. Moreover, it's under the circumstances where the previous 'beauty' isn't beautiful and the latter 'beauty' isn't feminine." Xia Xianying replied indifferently.

  Mingde had never eaten in front of any girl before, and besides, he was a bit jealous that Xia Qianying was more beautiful than himself. At this moment, how could he let her go so easily? Seeing Xia Qianying's slender hand taking out books from her school bag, Mingde quickly snatched off Qianying's glasses. He really wanted to see what the face behind those broken glasses looked like, as lovely as a flower.

  Xia Qian Ning hastily covered her face with her hand, but her astonished expression was still caught by Ming De.

  "Give me back my glasses." Xia Xian Ning said softly while looking around.

  "Why? You tell me why and I'll give it to you."

  Xia Qian Ning couldn't hide her anxiety: "You first give it to me and I'll tell you why."

  "You go first and I'll follow."

  "You give it to me first, then I'll talk, otherwise how can I say anything?" Xia Xian's face turned slightly red with anxiety.

  "You go first." Ming De had an expression that said he wasn't going to give in.

  "Give it to me first."

  "Hurry up, really hurry up. You're still... " Ming De saw Xian Rong's teary eyes and couldn't help but be moved. He quickly handed his glasses to her: "I've said it, I'll give it to you, just say it, I'm waiting." After that, he turned around and left.

  Xia Xian Ning wiped away the tears that were about to flow out, put on those ugly glasses, and silently warned herself: she couldn't interact with people like before, or it would bring trouble to herself. If she had said nothing and done nothing earlier, expressionless, things wouldn't be like this now. But Ming De was also too infuriating, what did he want to do?

  Actually, Mingde didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to use the excuse of copying homework to get close to Xianying. He likes beautiful things and beautiful people, and he has never been friends with ordinary-looking people. But unexpectedly, he who was always at ease in front of girls today got a cold shoulder, and even insulted him, making him lose face. This Xia Xianying is really infuriating, but... even more lovable, even more beautiful.

  Ming De thought of Xia Qian Ning's words just now and a smile actually appeared on his face.

  "Meisi!" School's out, Mingde invites Ling Shuiyue to go to Meisi bar together: "You're treating!"

  "Why?"

  "Does it need to be asked? Of course this month's pocket money has been used up."

  Ling Shuiyue shook his head, this little brat looked like a woman, and spent money like one too.

  An hour later, Ling Shuiyue and Ming De sat at the bar in Macy's Bar, each with a glass of Tequila.

  "It's a narrow escape! Let's not come here again, it's always nerve-wracking."

  "Do you have a better place?"

  Encountering such a drunkard, what can I say? Ling Shuiyue didn't speak, raised the wine cup in his hand, and drank it all at once, with the cup upside down.

  Guansu came out of the office at "Messi" bar (he was a shareholder in this bar and had come here today to settle accounts). He saw Ling Shuiyue and that 'fox-faced' person sitting at the bar, clinking glasses.

  "Run! Your brother-in-law is coming!" Mingde's eyes were quick and his legs were fast, seeing Guan Sipai walking towards him, he took off in a sprint.

  It's as if what you fear will come, Ling Shuiyue helplessly stood up from his seat. Guan Sipai picked up Ling Shuiyue's wine cup and poured all the wine in it into his own mouth: "You stinky brat! How old are you to be drinking? If you want to drink, then drink, but dare to come to my territory to drink?"

  "Don't tell your sister about it."

  "You also know not to tell your aunt about it, then what are you doing here drinking? Can't you go somewhere else?"

  "I was thinking that too. But only Messi is open at this time, the others..." Ling Shuiyue suddenly realized he was continuing to make mistakes and hastily said: "Brother-in-law, I won't drink anymore."

  "This still sounds like human language. Let's go! Follow me home."

  "Let's just forget it for today. I..." Ling Shuiyue said, retreating backwards as he spoke. This young lady is quite good, but she has too many tricks up her sleeve.

  "Don't worry! There are guests at home today. It would be more lively if you were here."

  Ling Shuiyue still wanted to run, but who knows if what he said was true or false. As Guan Sipai waved at the people on the platform, he turned around and was about to run, but his foot hadn't even taken the first step when Guan Sipai grabbed his arm, with a fake smile: "Let's go home!"
