Chapter 66: Surprise

Yao Xiang and Xiao Lan, who were walking in front, kept their attention on the movements behind them, even though they never turned their heads.

It wasn't just Yao Xiang who felt that the two behind them were acting very strangely; Xiao Lan also felt that something unspeakable must have happened to them.

Xiao Lan: "A Xiang, what do you think is going on with those two lately?"

Over the past few days, she had asked until her lips were chapped, yet she hadn't managed to get anything out of them.

Zhou Xiaoru and Jiang Bufan's answers were not only in sync but identical.

They both said it was because they were too tired...

But how could she believe such nonsense when it was told to two people who had lived with them day and night for four years!

Yao Xiang: "I suspect that when they went to hand out flyers last week and didn't come back to spend the night, something must have happened."

Upon hearing that something might have happened that night, various little dramas already flashed through Xiao Lan's mind!

"Could it be that they ran into some pervert and were both..."

She was too scared to say the last two words out loud.

Thinking of this possibility, she immediately felt nervous.

Yao Xiang rolled her eyes at her helplessly, "What are you talking nonsense for? If they had really run into something like that, they would have called the police long ago, instead of sighing in the dorm every day like this."

Xiao Lan thought about it and felt that was true, whether it was Zhou Xiaoru or Jiang Bufan.

With their explosive tempers, what pervert would dare to lay a hand on them, unless they had a death wish.

Having dismissed this possibility, she quickly switched to the next little drama.

Could it be that those two didn't go to hand out flyers that day, but went to do something else instead?

But she couldn't figure out what exactly they were doing.

Yao Xiang urged her not to think about such messy things anymore,

"Don't just keep thinking in such extreme directions; it's also possible that we are really just overthinking it."

She could only comfort herself this way now; since Zhou Xiaoru and Jiang Bufan were unwilling to say anything, what else could she do?

After all, it was their own business; if they didn't want to tell her and Xiao Lan, it might involve personal privacy.

"What overthinking? Didn't you see the day before yesterday, the two of them ran out early in the morning and came back drinking like ghosts." If nothing was wrong, that would be strange.

"They don't want to say anything, so what can we do? You should also stop pestering Jiang Bufan; I see her mood has been a bit volatile lately. You don't want to have a blowout with her before graduation."

"Aren't we just worried about them? Besides, our relationship is so solid; if there's something going on, we should discuss it together. Hasn't it always been like this before!"

Xiao Lan felt a bit uncomfortable; it wasn't that she wanted to pry into anyone's privacy, but in the current situation, she felt they weren't treating her as a friend.

And so, along the way, the two in front and the two behind each played out their own dramas.

But what they didn't know was that another big scene was waiting to be staged up ahead.

There were only two professional courses in the afternoon, and by the time their group finished class, it was already 4:30.

And between these two classes, another unknown thing had happened...

While Xiao Lan was going to the restroom alone, she was stopped by a young girl she didn't recognize.

This young girl, quite coincidentally, was Du Feng's younger sister, who was a freshman at School A, Du Jie!

When Xiao Lan first heard the name, she almost thought something was wrong with her ears!

Du Jie (Transcending Tribulation)?!! People these days are so willful with naming!!

After hearing her introduce herself and mention her brother Du Feng's name, Xiao Lan suddenly realized that this Du Jie was not that "Transcending Tribulation"!

It really shocked her so much that she almost thought this girl had descended from somewhere to enlighten her.

Du Jie gave a long-winded speech, the trend of which was even longer than a thesis draft.

By the end, Xiao Lan summarized it into one short sentence, which was...

Du Feng was also at their school right now, and he had already set up a romantic confession party in another classroom!

He had asked Du Jie to find her, wanting her and the other two roommates to bring Zhou Xiaoru to that classroom without her knowing when class ended.

To let her experience the surprise carefully prepared for her!

After adding Du Jie on WeChat, Xiao Lan floated back to the classroom, feeling a bit dazed.

The three who were chatting saw her return from outside, and Zhou Xiaoru made a sarcastic remark to her.

"I thought you had fallen into the toilet bowl; I was almost going to go to the restroom to fish you out."

But Xiao Lan was in no mood to listen to her sarcasm; her head was full of Du Jie's words from just a moment ago.

If it weren't for the new friend notification in her WeChat contacts,

She would have completely thought she was dreaming!

What should she do now? Should she tell the other two?

Before she could finish thinking, the class bell had already rung, and Zhou Xiaoru, who had been staring at her, turned around because of the bell.

Xiao Lan looked at the teacher walking into the classroom, her heart pounding.

It seemed that waiting until after class to find a way to bring Zhou Xiaoru over would be too late.

The place where Du Feng arranged the surprise was in the Management School's multimedia classroom, and the building they were in for class was right next to the Management School.

Once class ended, they would all leave directly from the classroom; it was impossible to detour to the Management School...

Unless there was some other matter.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan decided she still had to tell Jiang Bufan and Yao Xiang in advance so they could think of a way together.

She glanced at the teacher leaning on the podium and quietly placed her hand inside her desk.

She took out her phone and sent WeChat messages to Yao Xiang, who was sitting next to her, and Jiang Bufan, who was in front.

But even though the messages were sent, the two of them didn't react at all.

Leaning back in her chair, she looked at Yao Xiang, who was listening very intently beside her, and Xiao Lan had no choice but to use her hand to tug at her clothes under the desk.

Yao Xiang looked over in confusion and saw the person sitting next to her winking and making faces at her.

Frowning, driven by the look in her eyes, she also reached her hand under the table.

When she saw the WeChat message on her phone, Yao Xiang's eyes instantly narrowed, and her nostrils flared along with them!

At this moment, Xiao Lan couldn't help but stretch out her foot and kick Jiang Bufan, who was sitting in front of her.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Bufan also turned her head in confusion, immediately received the signal, and she also prepared to look at her phone.

But this movement also alerted Zhou Xiaoru in front...

She also turned her head with a confused look on her face, and after seeing the two people behind her, both looking calm and maintaining a smile toward her the whole time...

She then unconsciously shifted her gaze toward Jiang Bufan, who had already quickly finished reading the text message.

And Jiang Bufan was likewise smiling at her...

Three question marks suddenly appeared beside Zhou Xiaoru's head!

What?!

What is the meaning of this smile? Is there something wrong with these people!

And this doubt continued until the end of class.

The three people, who had already been discussing it privately for an entire class, had now reached a unified opinion.

Their head teacher's office was on the third floor of the Management Building.

Using the excuse that she had something to ask the head teacher, Yao Xiang had everyone else wait for her downstairs at the Management Building.

Then, Xiao Lan would say she needed to use the restroom, drag Zhou Xiaoru along to go with her, and then, together with Jiang Bufan, take the person over as if by chance...

It's just that this grand strategy, discussed for an entire class, really seemed quite low to everyone else!

But as the saying goes, plans can never keep up with changes.

Is Miss Zhou someone who can be easily manipulated!

They had been secretly sending WeChat messages for an entire class, and she had been suspicious for an entire class.

And this suspicion would continue on.

She wanted to see what these women were planning to do next!

The three of them were there sending messages to discuss things, but they didn't include her?!

Do they think she's selectively blind! She's not blind, okay!

After class ended, everyone pretended that nothing was going on and packed up their things.

After leaving the classroom, Zhou Xiaoru took the initiative to ask, "Where are we going shopping later?"

At this moment, Jiang Bufan and Xiao Lan looked at Yao Xiang at almost the exact same time.

After being stunned for half a second, Yao Xiang immediately reacted and said.

"I want to go to the head teacher's office first."

As expected!

Upon hearing this person say that, Zhou Xiaoru instantly narrowed her eyes.

"Why are you going to find the head teacher!"

"Uh... that, I'm going to ask about my household registration. Before I came here to study, my registration was moved over. Now that I'm about to graduate, you know, I have to return to my hometown after graduation, so the registration will definitely have to be moved back."

This answer was so perfect that it didn't have a single flaw!

Xiao Lan and Jiang Bufan even gave a thumbs up in their hearts to this scholar who was always clear-headed and well-organized!

Yao Xiang was the most knowledgeable and quick-witted person among them.

The words that came out of her mouth, even if they were lies, would be completely believed by ghosts!

Zhou Xiaoru also wanted to give her a big thumbs up for such an answer!

Nothing wrong with that!

She naturally went along to accompany Yao Xiang to the nearby Management Building.

But Yao Xiang's heart was bitter!

Jiang Bufan and Xiao Lan admired her superb acting skills, and Zhou Xiaoru was also left speechless by her answer!

But...

Going to the head teacher to ask about the household registration wasn't something she had made up just to trick Zhou Xiaoru!

She really did need to find the head teacher to ask about the household registration!

A person's true acting skills all stem from the most real life.

This sentence was absolutely correct.

After arriving at the Management Building, Yao Xiang went straight to the third floor, while the other three waited downstairs.

At this point, Xiao Lan's phone had already vibrated several times in secret.

Du Jie had already sent several messages asking where they were.

In front of Zhou Xiaoru, she couldn't openly reply to Du Jie.

Seeing that the time was about right, she said she needed to go to the restroom.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoru had an expression that said there was definitely a conspiracy!

She narrowed her eyes and looked Xiao Lan up and down.

"Xiao Lan... are you... hiding something from me?"

Xiao Lan laughed dryly, "No... nothing, I... I need to go to the restroom, are you going or not?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoru almost leaned right into that person's face.

"Why are you asking me to go to the restroom with you? I'm not going! Besides, didn't you already go to the restroom during the last class!"

This person's acting skills were simply too poor; they couldn't compare to hers at all.

"I ate lunch, and I still have to eat dinner, don't I? My metabolism is fast, so my excretion is naturally fast too."

Hearing her say this, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but have three black lines appear on her face!

How could going to the bathroom even be linked to eating? This person really is enough.

Jiang Bufan, who was to the side, looked like she was about to lose her composure and hurriedly interjected.

"Um, I actually want to go too. Xiaoru, come with me, and you can help me hold my bag."

Another assist has come online...

Zhou Xiaoru thought, if she doesn't go to the bathroom together with them today, it won't work, right...

It was truly frustrating; she currently had no intention to urinate, nor the urge to defecate. Asking her to go to the bathroom—did they want her to observe from the side!

She wanted to see exactly what they were going to do to her once they brought her into the bathroom!
