Chapter 276

While Xia Nuannuan was eating the skewers, she didn't forget to feed some to the busy Qin Tian.

She held the skewer with her small hand and brought it to Qin Tian's mouth. Qin Tian only needed to open his mouth to bite the meat, and then Xia Nuannuan would pull gently, followed by eating the rest on the wooden stick herself.

Watching the two of them showing off their affection so crazily, Chen Zhuang and the others couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned to leave as if fleeing.

Shen Siqi had eaten a lot of seafood, and although the skewers were delicious, her stomach really couldn't hold any more.

Thus, only Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan were left at the barbecue grill.

With the lightbulbs gone, the two of them were even more oblivious to the world.

The delicious food, the beautiful scenery, and their happy mood made the atmosphere around them seem to turn pink.

People around them would cast glances at them from time to time, then naturally get a mouthful of "dog food," and quickly look away with envy and jealousy.

After Xia Nuannuan was satisfied, Qin Tian extinguished the charcoal in the grill, and the two of them held hands and went for a walk by the lake to digest.

"There's one more day of vacation tomorrow, what should we do?"

As they walked, Xia Nuannuan had already affectionately hugged his arm and asked with a sweet smile.

"What are your thoughts?"

Qin Tian smiled and left the decision to her.

"Hmm... I want to go shopping for some clothes. It should cool down in October soon. Then maybe watch a movie and have a meal or something."

Xia Nuannuan thought for a moment before sharing her ideas.

"That works, I'll listen to you."

Qin Tian said with a warm smile.

"Then it's decided."

Xia Nuannuan smiled sweetly and hugged his arm even tighter.

This was hard on Qin Tian. He was a young man full of vigor, and Xia Nuannuan had no idea how exaggerated the lethality of her unintentional actions was to him.

Qin Tian could only turn his head to look at the clear lake, pretending to admire the scenery, while silently reciting the Calming Mantra and the Clearing Heart Formula.

The effect, of course, was minimal.

Unconsciously, Qin Tian began to think about whether he should find an opportunity to continue "rounding the bases."

So far, the two of them were still at the "first base" level, and because they had little time alone, the number of kisses wasn't very high.

It wasn't Qin Tian's fault that his thoughts easily wandered; it was mainly because the girl beside him was simply too tempting, making him urgently want to possess all her beauty.

"Nuannuan, your birthday is coming up. How do you plan to celebrate it?"

Qin Tian found a topic to avoid letting his thoughts run wild and doing something rash.

"Ah? I don't know. In previous years, my mom and dad arranged it, and it was always my grandparents and our whole family celebrating together."

Xia Nuannuan answered with a smile.

After growing up and becoming sensible, she no longer looked forward to every birthday like a child.

However, she was quite looking forward to this year's birthday.

Not only because an eighteenth birthday was more meaningful, but also because Qin Tian was in her life this year.

"I remember it's October 8th, right?"

Qin Tian asked again.

"Yeah!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded with a radiant smile.

She remembered mentioning her birthday only once in the car while chatting with her parents when they were moving. That Qin Tian remembered it so clearly made her feel very sweet inside.

Of course, she had also remembered Qin Tian's birthday and had even specially circled it and made a note on her phone calendar.

"October 8th. If the National Day holiday follows the normal schedule, we should be back by the afternoon of the 7th!"

"Yeah, when we go back for the National Day holiday, we'll see what my parents say."

"That works too. We'll see if we can talk to the counselor then and ask for a day off for both of us so we can celebrate your birthday before coming back."

"Mmhmm, whatever works."

"Then I need to hurry up and prepare your birthday gift!"

Qin Tian began to think seriously.

This was Xia Nuannuan's eighteenth birthday, and it was the first birthday they would spend together, so the gift naturally couldn't be too casual.

"You don't have to be so serious. As long as it's from you, I'll like it."

Xia Nuannuan comforted him with a smile.

"That won't do. Whether you like it or not, I have to show my greatest sincerity. I have to think carefully about the gift."

Qin Tian said solemnly.

"Heehee... alright then!"

Xia Nuannuan smiled happily and didn't say anything more, her heart full of happiness and anticipation.

Afterward, neither of them spoke, just walking quietly hand in hand.

After reaching a spot with a beautiful view, they stopped.

"The scenery here is so beautiful."

Xia Nuannuan exclaimed with a bright smile.

"Yeah, the scenery is beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful."

Qin Tian replied skillfully and naturally.

Hearing this, a rosy flush appeared on Xia Nuannuan's exquisite pretty face, and she playfully bumped his shoulder with her small head.

"What are you doing?"

"Stop saying such embarrassing things."

"I'm not. I'm just speaking from the heart. If you don't like it, I'll try to say it less."

"I... I don't dislike it, it's just... mmm..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Qin Tian lowered his head and captured her lips, blocking the rest of her words.

With no one around and the scenery beautiful, the two of them were very engaged, even more so than when they first kissed after the college entrance exam.

Before returning to school in the afternoon, Chef Qin showed off his skills once more, grilling all the remaining ingredients.

After tasting the even more delicious skewers, the boys and girls from both classes were full of praise.

Once the ingredients were all used up, Qin Tian organized everyone to pack their things and load them onto the cars, and then everyone prepared to return, feeling reluctant to leave.

With much of the food and items gone, the car could seat three people in addition to Xia Nuannuan in the passenger seat.

Xia Nuannuan called Su Yan and Tian Jing, and Qin Tian waved over Zhuang Zhe.

Under the envious gazes of the other students from the two classes, the black BMW sedan sped away.

"Sigh, let's go, time to take the bus."

"I've decided, from now on, I'll be a quiet person like Zhuang Zhe."

"Forget it. The important thing is Brother Tian, okay? I don't care, from now on, I'm his number one loyal little brother."

"Move aside, don't fight me on this, okay? Brother Tian is my own brother!"

"Do you two have no shame? Don't let the girls laugh at you!"

"By the way, besides Zhuang Zhe, does anyone else have a chance?"

"......"

The boys discussed in low voices as they walked toward the bus stop.

This relaxed and pleasant social activity was indeed effective; there were signs of sparks between a few pairs of boys and girls from the two classes.

Of course, this only meant that the initial impression was okay; whether anything would actually come of it was hard to say.

But regardless, everyone had a very happy and satisfying time during this event.

The boys of Economics Class 1 were even more convinced by their class monitor, Qin Tian, who kept his word.

As for the girls, it went without saying that they were even more willing to get close to Xia Nuannuan, the super wealthy and beautiful girl who was kind-hearted and generous.

With Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, the two temporary class monitors, at the center, the class cohesion was further strengthened.
