Chapter 78

~4 min read 693 words

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum, carrying thick shyness.

"... Please take care of me from now on!"

The last few words were almost squeezed out.

Even as intellectual as she was, she couldn't hide her embarrassment at this moment; before the words were finished, she turned around like a startled little deer and almost fled in a panic.

Leaving Xia Muqihui standing alone in place, messed up in the wind by this sudden "start over declaration."

He stood in place for a long time, and by the time he returned to the stall, Yue Dao Lin's figure was already gone.

Just then.

Xiyuanji Qilai ran back to Xia Muqihui like a happy little bird, her face overflowing with excited brilliance.

"Xia Mujun, there's a cow!"

Xia Muqihui was stunned by her nonsensical words:

"Cow? What cow?"

Xiyuanji Qilai's star-like eyes shone with the light of discovering a new continent, pointing into the distance excitedly:

"I just saw a club! It's called 'Flying Water Buffalo Pasta Club'! Their club logo is a water buffalo! It feels very interesting, do you want to go see it?"

Xia Muqihui was dumbfounded:

"Sure."

He remembered she had just gone to experience instruments, and asked:

"But weren't you just trying out instruments at the orchestra side? How was it?"

Xiyuanji Qilai showed a shy smile embarrassedly:

"It was very interesting... but only after trying did I find out that I seem to be a bit tone-deaf, and my sense of rhythm for music is also particularly poor; I can't understand it at all."

Xia Muqihui looked at her frankly admitting it and smiled slightly:

"I see; then let's go see the 'Flying Water Buffalo Pasta Club' you mentioned now."

Xiyuanji Qilai nodded happily:

"Mm! Okay!"

After leaving the orchestra club's stall, the two walked and watched along the lively club recruitment area.

Xiyuanji Qilai was full of infinite curiosity about the stalls of various novel and interesting clubs, stopping Xia Muqihui from time to time.

Walking all the way, Xia Muqihui discovered that Xiyuanji Qilai had many more things on her.

Seeing her neck hanging with a flower wreath made of colored paper flowers, her slender wrists wearing several bead bracelets of different colors, and her hands grabbing several small toys and keychains won from various stalls.

She was like a "beast of curiosity," unable to resist contacting, trying, and understanding anything she was interested in.

So she almost played through everything along the way and got many prizes.

When the two walked to a relatively quiet stall, Xiyuanji Qilai remembered one of Xia Muqihui's purposes for this trip.

She pointed to the "Shogi Club" sign hanging above the stall and reminded:

"Xia Mujun, the Shogi Club stall is here!"

Xia Muqihui nodded slightly and walked to the stall.

The stall was a bit deserted, with only a girl with short hair who looked quite capable guarding it listlessly.

"Excuse me, do you know Senior Anjing Liangdou?"

Amu Jieai raised her head upon hearing the question, and the moment she saw Xia Muqihui's face, her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some interesting target.

"Senior Anjing? Of course I know him! He is our Shogi Club's vice-president..."

She carefully looked Xia Muqihui up and down, the corners of her mouth hooking into a meaningful smile.

"However... you are Xia Muqihui, right?"

Xia Muqihui was a bit surprised:

"You know me?"

Amu Jieai suddenly laughed, slapping the table, as if she had heard something extremely funny:

"Pfft, hahaha! Know you! Of course I know you! How could I not know you!"

She laughed until tears were almost coming out, pointing at Xia Muqihui.

"After all, Senior Yue Dao Lin, who confessed to you, is the goddess our Vice-President Anjing has been pursuing for a whole year without being able to chase!"

"Now in the entire Shogi Club, if there is still someone who doesn't know you, Xia Muqihui, that would truly be strange! Hahaha!"

"This..." Xia Muqihui froze in place.

Xiyuanji Qilai, hearing this, covered her surprised little mouth, her lively eyes looking at Xia Muqihui as if carrying a bit of curious laughter.
