Chapter 52

Xia Nuannuan rushed into the classroom just as the bell rang.

She came to Qin Tian's side, panting and looking at him.

"Did you sleep in?"

Qin Tian stood up and asked with a light laugh.

"No... no."

Xia Nuannuan shook her head.

After walking in and sitting down, she took out her cup from her schoolbag and took a sip of water, finally catching her breath with difficulty.

"My dad sent me here, there was a traffic jam."

"Your dad?"

Qin Tian was slightly stunned, remembering the future father-in-law he had met for the first time last night.

"Yeah, I told him not to send me, walking by myself is faster, but he insisted on sending me, and we were stuck halfway, so I got out of the car and ran over."

Xia Nuannuan complained angrily.

Qin Tian was amused and teased: "That's good, you burned some more calories."

"You're still laughing."

Xia Nuannuan glared at him, stuffed her schoolbag into the drawer, took out her Chinese textbook, and said: "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to memorize the text."

"Okay!"

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

About two minutes later, Cui Ying and Qiu Man walked into the classroom together.

Undoubtedly, they were late today.

Xia Nuannuan heard the movement and looked up at the two, only to find that they were also looking at her with complex expressions.

"Xia Nuannuan, morning!"

Cui Ying squeezed out a somewhat forced smile on her face and greeted her out of the blue.

Qiu Man looked at her in surprise and hurriedly followed suit, taking the initiative to greet Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan was dumbfounded.

Qin Tian on the side also showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Yo, you two morning too!"

After Xia Nuannuan recovered, even though she was confused, she still hurriedly nodded and responded politely.

The two smiled friendly, didn't say anything more, turned their heads, and started self-studying.

"Qin Tian, what... is the situation?"

Xia Nuannuan looked at Qin Tian on the side, asking with lip-reading and expressions.

Qin Tian shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't understand either.

Xia Nuannuan looked at the two in front again, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in thought.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't bother to use her brain and continued to memorize a required classical Chinese text.

In fact, Qin Tian roughly guessed what the situation was through the time difference between Xia Nuannuan and Cui Ying's arrival, as well as the information revealed in Xia Nuannuan's words just now.

However, he couldn't be completely sure, and he didn't know how to explain it to Xia Nuannuan, so he simply pretended not to know.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the bell for the end of class rang.

After the morning self-study ended, there was a half-hour long break.

During this period, boarding students and day students who didn't eat breakfast at home usually went to the canteen to have breakfast.

There were also those who didn't sleep well who would use this time to take a nap on the desk.

By comparison, the latter was clearly more numerous.

Everyone would rather go hungry than endure the sleepiness after waking up early.

Therefore, after the bell for the end of class rang, the classroom quickly quieted down, and more than half of the students fell asleep directly.

Xia Nuannuan took her small pillow out of the drawer, preparing to lie down and sleep for a while too.

Just then, she noticed that Cui Ying and Qiu Man in front were whispering to each other in a strange way, and Cui Ying even secretly glanced at her.

"Do you... have something?"

Xia Nuannuan couldn't help but ask.

Qin Tian also looked at the two with a meaningful gaze, with a faint smile on his face.

"Xia Nuannuan, we want to apologize to you, everything in the past was our fault, can you forgive us?"

Cui Ying said with a nervous expression.

"Yes, yes, we were too childish, can you please not take it to heart!"

Qiu Man on the side immediately echoed.

Xia Nuannuan was dumbfounded again, widening her big eyes, looking at the two with a very cute expression.

"Did you meet her father?"

Qin Tian suddenly interjected.

The three girls looked at him with surprise when they heard this.

"Except for this, I can't think of any other explanation."

Qin Tian shrugged with a smile.

Cui Ying and Qiu Man showed shameful blushes on their faces and nodded slightly to admit it.

Xia Nuannuan frowned and hurriedly asked: "Did my father say something to you?"

She thought it was her father who said something to these two to vent her anger.

This also made her very confused.

In front of her parents, she had always reported the good news but not the bad.

Even if she suffered grievances at school before, she wouldn't mention a word when she got home.

How did her father know?

And she had been doing quite well recently!

"No, no, Xia Nuannuan, you misunderstood."

Cui Ying hurriedly waved her hand and explained: "Your father didn't say anything to us... no, that's not right, it's not that he didn't say anything, it's that he didn't say those things you thought."

"What on earth does that mean?"

Xia Nuannuan was even more confused.

"Oh, I'll just say it straight, your father asked us if you have any boys you're relatively close to at school, that's it!"

Qiu Man was also a bit dizzy, and impatiently got straight to the point.

"Ah?"

Xia Nuannuan blushed instantly.

Qin Tian on the side was also stunned.

This was something he hadn't expected.

Is that future father-in-law's intuition so sharp?

Xia Nuannuan glanced at Qin Tian shyly and looked at the two in a panic.

"Then, then you..."

"Don't worry, we didn't say anything about you and Qin Tian."

Cui Ying answered decisively before she could ask.

"So that's how it is!"

Xia Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the eyes looking at the two became a bit softer.

In fact, except for the time when these two questioned and mocked Qin Tian behind his back, she was truly angry.

At other times, she didn't have much ill will toward the two.

The two didn't do anything to bully her either, at most they just followed along and laughed when Xu Ying was being sarcastic.

"I, I and Qin Tian also... also don't have anything!"

After reacting, Xia Nuannuan retorted shyly.

Cui Ying and Qiu Man rolled their eyes speechlessly when they heard this.

With the two of you being this clingy now, you call that nothing?

Then what counts as something? Hugging and kissing in public?

"Anyway, we apologized to you, and we told you the matter, and your father also told us to get along well..."

Cui Ying stopped mid-sentence.

"Mm-hmm, the past is in the past, I won't take it to heart, let's get along well in the future!"

A sweet smile bloomed on Xia Nuannuan's face, and she took the initiative to take over the conversation and show goodwill.

Cui Ying and the other girl looked at each other, and both showed relaxed smiles on their faces.

On the side, Qin Tian just supported his chin with one hand, quietly watching this scene.

Cui Ying and the other girl's personalities weren't too bad, they just didn't have much of their own opinions and were used to taking Xu Ying as the leader, and some behaviors were influenced by her in a bad way.

For girls of this age, this is a very common thing.

Qin Tian also felt that this change now was quite good.

This also precisely shows that because of him, this butterfly of rebirth, everything around him is developing in a good direction. *** **CHAPTER 53** **【53-0】 Clearly Playing Favorites**
