Chapter 22: with translation of chapter title
When the break-time exercise ended, the troops had already returned to their respective classes.
Only saw a few girls from Yi Ban pushing Qin Xue into Liu Ban.
Qin Xue entered the Liu Ban classroom feeling a bit embarrassed.
The boys around Lu Chi all liked Qin Xue, so after she came in, they quickly greeted her, saying, "Sister-in-law! Come over here!"
That "sister-in-law" made Qin Xue's face turn even redder.
Lu Chi had no intention of stopping them.
The boys in the class immediately started making a fuss.
Seeing the boys around Lu Chi shouting "sister-in-law" at Qin Xue, Zhou Tingting's face darkened: "What are you shouting about? Aren't you afraid of scaring people?"
"Alright, Tingting, everyone knows you like Lu Chi; if you're jealous, just be jealous—don't say you're afraid of scaring people."
"Exactly, Tingting, it's bound to happen—our Lu Ge and Qin Xue are a perfect match!"
……
The boys over there were all making a fuss.
Qin Xue, face flushed, was pushed and shoved to Lu Chi's side.
Then she hesitantly said, "Lu Chi, today is my birthday; I want to invite you to go karaoke with us—everyone likes it lively, we can go together, I'll treat."
Lu Chi usually didn't like such group activities; he had meant to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Su Yun Jiao not far away.
Seeing Su Yun Jiao pretending not to notice and chatting with Zhou Xian.
Lu Chi then said lightly, "Okay, then after school we'll all go together."
"Sure."
Qin Xue's face turned redder.
Zhou Tingting, seeing this, said, "Then I want to go too!"
Qin Xue saw Zhou Tingting wanting to go, felt embarrassed to refuse, and nodded: "Sure, the more people the merrier."
After saying that, Qin Xue glanced again at Su Yun Jiao sitting not far away, stepped forward and said, "Jiao Jiao, I was wrong earlier today; I shouldn't have blamed you so much. Tonight is my birthday—let's go together."
Qin Xue's and Lu Chi's birthdays are a few days apart; Su Yun Jiao remembers that in her previous life, Lu Chi completely fell for Qin Xue at the time of Qin Xue's birthday.
Su Yun Jiao wasn't interested and was about to refuse, but Lu Chi said, "Let's all go together; I'll decide the venue and treat."
Seeing Lu Chi offering to treat, everyone started making a fuss again.
"Treat! Treat!"
"Lu Ge is treating—let's all come together tonight!"
The boys over there were shouting.
Qin Xue said somewhat shyly, "How can I let you treat? After all, it's my birthday—I can't let you pay."
"With me here, are you really going to make me pay?"
Lu Chi's words caused the surroundings to instantly erupt.
"Lu Ge! Lu Ge!"
The boys over there were all shouting.
Su Yun Jiao rubbed her forehead.
She really didn't want to attend Qin Xue's birthday party.
It's simply a waste of time.
"Jiao Jiao, let's just say we'll go together tonight."
Qin Xue directly grabbed Su Yun Jiao's hand; at that moment, Su Yun Jiao wanted to chop off her own hand.
She isn't the type to ostracize someone of the same sex.
But faced with a woman who, in her previous life, stole her husband, flaunted herself in front of her, and forced her to divorce, she couldn't bring herself to act like a saint.
"Sorry, I have something to do tonight."
Su Yun Jiao directly pulled her hand out of Qin Xue's grasp.
A boy nearby complained, "Su Yun Jiao, don't spoil the fun, okay? I don't believe you actually have anything to do."
"Exactly, Lu Ge is treating—if you don't go, you're not giving him face."
"Right, aren't you still from Liu Ban? With so many people gathering, you say you're not going—just don't go."
Seeing Su Yun Jiao unwilling to go, Zhou Tingting directly said in a sarcastic tone, "Someone is just jealous."
……
Su Yun Jiao watched as everyone pointed fingers at her.
She suddenly understood what it means to be a mute eating coptis—having suffering but unable to speak.
And another saying: even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash it clean.
And another: did nothing, yet stirred up a mess.
Su Yun Jiao rubbed her brow.
She really doesn't have time to play house with these kids.
"Su Yun Jiao, are you going or not? If you don't go, then don't stay in our Liu Ban anymore!"
The boy opposite directly voiced her thoughts.
Su Yun Jiao's inner self expressed agreement.
Perfect, she also didn't want to stay in Liu Ban any longer.
"Let's go together—I'll go too."
Zhou Xian stood nearby and directly relieved Su Yun Jiao of the siege.
After all, if Su Yun Jiao didn't go, she'd instead give people something to talk about.
He left, just so carefree.
Su Yun Jiao understood Zhou Xian's meaning, so she tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Alright, I'll go."
She went and returned, but she never said she was going to give blessings.
She was going to cause trouble.
When school let out, Lu Chi gathered the students of Liu Ban and Yi Ban, and directly went to the Night Club.
The Lu Family went to all high-end clubs, not ordinary KTVs.
When everyone got out of the car, they suddenly saw the world.
Especially Qin Xue.
Seeing such a high-end club, her eyes lit up.
"Such a club, how much money for one night?"
"Little Xue, you're too blessed, Lu Chi actually arranged your birthday at such a high-end place."
"Yeah, if I could also have such a boyfriend, that would be great."
……
The surrounding classmates all cast envious glances at Qin Xue.
Qin Xue's face turned red: "Lu Chi, this is quite expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it..."
"No problem, I'll treat you."
This amount of money is nothing to Lu Chi.
Moreover, the Lu Family often comes here to discuss business, and the manager knows him.
Many fruit platters and drinks can be given for free.
Qin Xue followed beside Lu Chi; she actually already knew Lu Chi wouldn't let her pay.
After all, when they went out to play before, Lu Chi never let her spend a penny.
Su Yun Jiao walked at the back of the line, hands in her pockets, appearing unapproachable.
Zhou Xian beside her said: "If you really don't want to join, I'll send you home later."
Because today is Qin Xue's birthday, Lu Chi made it a class activity for Liu Ban, and the classmates reacted strongly.
He is the class monitor; it's not good to let Su Yun Jiao get special treatment, fearing other classmates would continue to mock Su Yun Jiao.
So he could only let Su Yun Jiao join first.
But joining doesn't mean she can't leave early.
"Thanks, monitor, I'm fine; anyway, I've finished my homework, someone's treating to a meal, why not come?"
Su Yun Jiao took it in stride.
Spending Lu Chi's money, she doesn't feel the slightest bit of regret.
Zhou Xian fell silent for a moment, then said: "Sorry, my sister is here, I must come to protect her."
This time there are quite a few boys; Zhou Tingting came alone, and he doesn't feel at ease.
Su Yun Jiao expressed understanding: "Looking after your sister is natural, monitor, you don't need to apologize to me."
Walking ahead, Lu Chi watched Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian chatting slowly behind him, and instantly felt annoyed.
He suppressed his annoyance and kicked the boy beside him.
"Ouch! Lu Ge, why did you kick me?"
