Chapter 115: Clear conscience

Xu Qingzhou generally wasn't a picky eater, but this milk tea really tasted bad, like spoiled rice with some white sugar added, then put into a juicer and squeezed out.

"Switch back."

"No!" Song Yao was afraid he would snatch it, so she drank two more gulps, declaring that this cup now belonged to her.

"There's my saliva in there." Xu Qingzhou said slowly.

"Xu Qingzhou, aren't you disgusting!"

Song Yao said in feigned anger, glaring at the boy opposite. She paused, seemingly feeling that she would lose if she were the only one angry, so she hummed and said, "There's my saliva in your cup too."

Xu Qingzhou didn't show the annoyance she had imagined; instead, he took a sip openly and then sighed: "It's fine, I don't mind you."

Mind?? Who minds who! Song Yao was so angry her teeth felt a bit itchy; she really wanted to rush over and beat this thick-skinned guy up.

Who the hell buys such a big bucket of stuff to hold on a first date.

"Oh." Xu Qingzhou didn't ponder what Song Yao was thinking, leaning on the chair drinking milk tea to relax his brain. It's just... this milk tea is a bit hard to drink! Song Yao came back to her senses. Seeing Xu Qingzhou's brows knit tight while drinking, she felt a bit guilty. "How about..."

Xu Qingzhou asked: "Switch back?"

He hung up the phone and saw Song Yao staring straight at him, then explained: "A senior sister from the news center, said she wanted to do an interview."

"Undergraduate physics shouldn't be difficult for me, so I got an exemption from attending lectures at the physics department. I'll go listen if I have time or if I'm interested."

"It's not difficult! I'm really busy!" Xu Qingzhou interrupted Song Yao's divergent thinking.

Xu Zhengyang pushed the popcorn toward the girl, the girl politely refused, and the two fell into a brief calm.

Song Yao bit the straw and talked about business: "You haven't sent me the course schedule you mentioned."

Xu Zhengyang was even more outrageous. He once swore to be a "Wolf Warrior," but in the end, the girl was so proactive, and this guy was so chaste, sitting upright and only leaving one arm for the girl.

Looking at the name on the caller ID, he felt a bit helpless and answered the phone: "Senior sister."

"Clear conscience..."

No, no... The straws were already switched just now, look at how indifferent he is, why are you thinking so much... Song Yao, don't feel guilty, you must have a clear conscience!

Xu Qingzhou took his phone and forwarded the schedule to Song Yao. Song Yao had asked for this, but he had been too busy at the time.

Is this guy here to eat popcorn? Xu Qingzhou complained in his heart, even more certain that Xu Zhengyang's claims about how he was with girls in high school were definitely bragging; he was completely a novice.

"No!" Song Yao protected that cup of milk tea, which was one-third finished, like it was some kind of treasure, pointing at the shop next to them, "You can go buy another cup."

He turned to look at Song Yao beside him.

Senior sister? Song Yao's brows furrowed slightly, she leaned closer to Xu Qingzhou, pricking up her ears to hear what the two were saying.

Song Yao nodded, not caring about the senior sister matter, but thought of another question and asked suspiciously: "You usually say you're busy, could it be..."

Song Yao opened her phone to look at Xu Qingzhou's schedule. Tuesday night and Thursday night were both occupied. She silently drank a sip of milk tea and asked: "Do you still have time to come out and exercise now?"

The girl kept leaning toward Xu Zhengyang. Just watching a comedy, those who didn't know would think it was a damn horror movie.

"I didn't say anything." Song Yao muttered softly, supporting her chin with one hand, and took a big gulp of milk tea. It tasted very sweet, much better than her own cup.

"Senior sister... Mm... It's just two papers, there's really nothing to talk about." Song Yao spat out two words: "Pervert."

Xu Qingzhou: "Mm?"

Xu Qingzhou was a bit speechless. Good guy, his initial deduction was still wrong; this guy was just here to watch a movie!

Xu Qingzhou talked for a while and then said apologetically: "Senior sister... Let's stop here for now, I happen to have something to do on my end."

Hearing this, Song Yao stopped talking. Anyway, it was impossible to switch back, even if there was saliva, it wouldn't work! There were 13 minutes left before the movie started, and ticket checking would begin soon. There were even more people in the cinema lobby.

"You wouldn't want to hit me, would you? I'm warning you, pay attention to emotional management, be careful about hitting the forum hot search the next day, Song Yao's persona collapsing... Why are you clenching your fists?"

Xu Qingzhou shrugged: "This one just tastes bad, it's not poisonous, I'm too lazy to buy another."

To have two SCI papers just after entering school, how did this guy do it? The pressure is so high... "Thanks for the compliment."

Ding~ Fortunately, at this moment, Xu Qingzhou's phone rang. Song Yao saw he had a call coming in, glared at him angrily, and let him go for the time being.

The movie started.

Song Yao pursed her lips, didn't speak, switched hands to support her chin, and glanced elsewhere, "Thinking about the plot of the Moonlight Box."

"Your roommate?" Song Yao followed Xu Qingzhou's gaze and also recognized the person she had seen last time.

Entering the cinema, what was even more coincidental was that Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao's seats were two rows behind Xu Zhengyang. However, because it was relatively dim in the screening hall, Xu Zhengyang seemed completely unaware that two acquaintances were sitting behind him.

Xu Qingzhou only wanted to focus on academics and didn't like being so high-profile and in the spotlight. It was just two papers; if there was this exception, wouldn't he be chased for interviews every day later on?

"Right." Xu Qingzhou nodded, his gaze lingering on the girl in the JK outfit beside Xu Zhengyang. The two were sitting on the chairs in the cinema lobby, and Xu Zhengyang had gotten a large bucket of popcorn.

Following them for 20 meters, Xu Qingzhou could feel the awkward atmosphere between these two people.

There were only a few large cinemas nearby, so it wasn't strange to run into Xu Zhengyang.

Seeing Song Yao supporting her chin and daydreaming, Xu Qingzhou waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked: "What are you thinking about? Say it out and we'll think about it together?"

Just after saying that, Xu Qingzhou suddenly noticed two familiar figures in the crowd ahead, "Eh~ why is this guy here?"

While drinking, she suddenly remembered what Xu Qingzhou said about saliva, and her ears couldn't help but start to burn. Does this count as an indirect kiss? No, it doesn't! But it seems like it does.

The light from the movie screen fell on her face, and one could see her long eyelashes. She was watching very seriously, her expression still cold. Seeing a funny plot, the corners of her mouth would hook into a beautiful arc.

!.

Must never be deceived by Song Yao's beautiful appearance. She is indeed beautiful, but her violence is also truly violent.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qingzhou moved his gaze from Song Yao to the screen.

Just at this moment, Song Yao looked over at Xu Qingzhou in confusion. Just now... was Xu Qingzhou looking at her? "Immortal? Monster? Thank you."

"You are my person now. If anyone bullies you, just report my name. From today on, I am called the Pansy Immortal."

Zhu Yin appeared, and the first part of *A Chinese Odyssey* ended just like that.
