Chapter 205 : No, Thank You
Qin Xue noticed that her little sister Yun did indeed slow down as she had asked.
Just a little too slow.
Could it be that her little sister Yun had also figured it out?
...
Afterward, they followed the group to find the history museum.
Along the way, there were some things of unknown meaning, such as hundreds of wooden sticks standing on the ground and strangely shaped fountains.
Was this the museum's art?
Su Yun didn't understand, just continued to follow the others.
In the end, they circled around for a good while before reaching their destination.
The museum wasn't large, only about three stories high, and its location wasn't very conspicuous.
"We didn't know the way, so it took a while to find. I'm sorry," Chu Bing said, bowing to the others at the front of the group.
"Is this really a museum? It looks a bit small. How could we find it?"
"Yeah, and the location is so remote. It's a miracle we found it at all."
The others didn't blame Chu Bing; on the contrary, they were all complaining about the museum.
The plaza here was very spacious, but there weren't many people, or rather, they hadn't seen anyone else.
So they didn't need to make a reservation; they could just buy tickets after entering.
Ten yuan per person.
...
This dim, yellow museum became much livelier after a group of young men and women poured in.
"Jiang, you take a few pictures here."
After buying the tickets and entering the museum, the girls in the group began to seriously assign the tasks for this time.
Some took pictures, some recorded videos.
Simply put, the assignment for this modern history course was a PowerPoint presentation and a video of about 4 minutes.
It was quite difficult to reach 4 minutes without just filling it with fluff, which was why there were 13 people in a group.
But for now, only the girls were working hard. The other boys were just following behind, not knowing what to do.
Oh, and there were Su Yun and Qin Xue, who were also slacking off at the back of the group.
"Sister Xue, aren't we going to follow them? What if we can't find them later?"
Su Yun only felt the noisy sounds in front of her getting quieter and quieter.
Clearly, they had separated from the group.
"So what if we can't find them? Can't we just go home by ourselves?"
"Uh, I guess so..." Su Yun looked up and saw Qin Xue's calm face, feeling helpless.
Does Sister Xue not care about this activity at all?
It seems so... she had a similar final project this semester.
She had traveled far by bus for half an hour, only to end up just taking a group photo and that was it.
No one paid any attention to her, and she didn't have to do anything.
"What? You're following them because you want to see that Chu Bing?"
"!?" Su Yun's eyes suddenly widened, and her heart instantly felt wronged.
"How could that be?"
She was worried about Sister Xue's final project, but Sister Xue said she was just trying to cheat.
To be honest, it hurt a little.
"You don't believe me that much..."
As Su Yun lowered her head in silence, a wicked smile appeared on Qin Xue's face.
"Pfft. I'm just teasing you. I believe you, little sister Yun~" Her voice was not as cool as usual, but had a hint of a sweet, girlish tone.
But unfortunately, the people in the group didn't have the chance to see this side of Qin Xue.
"..." Hearing her words, Su Yun's face turned yellow in silence.
(Actually, it was the lighting.)
She was so upset, but it turned out to be a joke!
"I'm ignoring you!" She shook off Qin Xue's hand and was about to run forward.
"Don't, little sister Yun, let me explain." In the next second, Qin Xue directly hugged her little sister Yun's small body from behind.
"Hng, no!" Su Yun struggled.
But in a short while, her feet left the ground, and she was forced to stay.
Good heavens...
"Be good, little sister Yun, be good."
The gentle stroking on her head and the soft pressure from behind made Su Yun almost bristle.
"Hmph."
Fortunately, the group had all run ahead, and no one here saw their intimate actions.
Mm, no...
Su Yun suddenly noticed something, a little surprised.
Sister Xue was stroking her head with one hand, and also hugging her...
Meaning she could... with just one hand?
She looked down and found that there was indeed a slender, snow-white hand on her little stomach.
And only one hand.
"..." Seeing herself being held like a doll, Su Yun also felt a little desperate.
Just like that, her fur was stroked for a good while before the other person stopped.
After the commotion, Qin Xue returned to her usual cool and indifferent appearance.
"Little sister Yun, I actually discovered something just now," she said, bending down and whispering in Su Yun's ear.
"Is there something?"
And Su Yun, whose little feet had just landed on the ground, was attracted by Qin Xue's whisper before she could be happy.
"It's just..."
"It's..." Su Yun listened intently.
"Wow, so you guys were here!"
At this moment, a cheerful female voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Ugh." This also interrupted Qin Xue, who was about to say something.
"I'm sorry, group leader, we'll follow you right away."
Seeing that the person who came was Chu Bing, Su Yun was also a little embarrassed.
They had been caught slacking off.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's your part now. Come with me quickly," Chu Bing's tone was still gentle, and she responded to their laziness with a smile.
Since it had come to this, Su Yun could only pull Qin Xue along.
As for what Qin Xue was about to say just now, it would have to wait.
"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now? Was it something interesting? Can you tell me?"
On the way forward, Chu Bing suddenly tilted her head and asked Su Yun.
The girl's simple, curious, and cute appearance also made Su Yun have no intention of hiding anything.
"Oh, it's just that Sister Xue discovered something, mmmph!..." But just as she was about to speak, a hand covered her mouth.
It wasn't a bad person, but from Sister Xue.
"Mmmph mmmph..." Su Yun grabbed Qin Xue's wrist, her dazed eyes clearly showing her confusion.
"I'm sorry, the milk tea you bought for us, we forgot it on the bus just now."
"How much was it? I can pay you back," Qin Xue said calmly, her expression not looking like she was lying.
"Haha, so that's what happened. It's okay," Chu Bing said, not showing a single bit of anger even after learning that the milk tea she had worked hard to buy had been forgotten on the bus.
"Are you still thirsty? I can order new ones to be delivered on my phone."
"No, thank you," Qin Xue still replied coldly, a complete extreme to Chu Bing's enthusiasm.
"Mm, okay."
"Phew..."
At this moment, Su Yun, whose mouth had been released, was also gasping for air.
She turned her head and glared at Qin Xue with a resentful expression.
If you want to talk, just talk. Why cover my mouth?
"Tsk." Qin Xue also noticed her little expression, but there was not a single bit of apology on her face.
Hmph.
But Su Yun quickly went from being angry to feeling guilty.
She hadn't even had a single sip of the roasted milk tea Chu Bing had given her, and it was lost... she had really let down the other's kindness.
Thinking of this, Su Yun recalled the past.
It was when she was in high school. At that time, her breakfast milk was left for her by her mother.
Yes, left for her.
It was that her mother would slowly save the milk she was reluctant to drink every morning in an empty box. When it was full, she would let her take it to school.
It would probably take at least a month to fill a box.
As a result, one time she fell asleep on the bus with the milk, and when she woke up, she heard the sound of the station announcement.
She was very anxious and ran off the bus without thinking.
As a result, the box of milk her mother had given her was forgotten on the bus.
Su Yun only remembered when she was almost at the rental apartment near the school. The bus had already been gone for more than ten minutes by then.
Panicked, she immediately called her mother.
Her mother didn't say a single word of blame, but instead gave her more than forty yuan to buy a new box of milk...
Su Yun still remembered this matter to this day, and she still felt guilty about it.
...
"Could you please read the words on this sign, sister? I'll record a video on the side."
After Chu Bing led them to catch up with the main group, in front of them was a neat row of display cases.
Inside were written the wars and history that had occurred in this city.
Su Yun had thought that Qin Xue would surely agree to such a small matter quickly.
"Why?"
But in the next second, she heard her ask Chu Bing in a questioning tone.
Good heavens, this is also your final project, right? And you're still asking why...
"Sister Xue, it's just that everyone in the group has to read a few pieces, so that we can have enough time."
"Please~" Chu Bing smiled sweetly.
"Fine." At this, Qin Xue reluctantly agreed.
"Um..."
"Can I help?" In contrast to Qin Xue's reluctance, Su Yun proactively asked Chu Bing.
"Wow, really? That would be great, thank you so much."
"You're welcome..."
"You can read this later."
"Okay."
Seeing Chu Bing so happy because of the small favor she had done, Su Yun was also a little embarrassed.
Afterward, she and Qin Xue stood together by the display cases, while the others watched them from behind.
The fiery gazes were uncomfortable.
But there was nothing they could do. Who told them to slack off and come last?
"In 1937..."
...
The museum only had two floors. After about an hour, they had finished recording the video material and saw the plaza outside from the back door.
"Splash splash..." And at this moment, it was also raining heavily outside.
The clear sky from when they had just arrived was now somewhat dark and gloomy.
The weather was so nice just now.
"Pat pat." Su Yun looked at the rain curtain, which was hitting the ground with some force, a little surprised.
Then she immediately remembered something important.
They didn't bring an umbrella.
Screwed.
Just as everyone was about to open their umbrellas and leave, she and Qin Xue were still standing inside the museum.
The others were all looking at them.
"You're not leaving?" Chu Bing was the first to come back.
"We forgot to bring an umbrella. You guys go ahead, sorry..." Qin Xue didn't speak; it was Su Yun who spoke.
"Is that so?"
"Then you can have mine. This one is quite big, so two people can share it without getting wet," Chu Bing said without hesitation, immediately handing the blue umbrella in her hand to Su Yun.
"Huh?" This also made her a little slow to react.
So nice.
"Then what about you?"
"I can share someone else's umbrella."
"Lingmin! Come back and take me with you."
After speaking, Chu Bing covered her head with both hands and ran to the side of a girl outside.
And Su Yun saw that the umbrella Chu Bing was sharing with that girl was very small. Two people together might get half their shoulders wet.
Ah, this...
"..."
"What are you standing there for? Let's go."
"Oh." Urged by Qin Xue, Su Yun could only hesitantly open Chu Bing's umbrella.
...
"We're planning to go to the Xiamo Plaza area for dinner. Do you want to come with us?"
When they arrived at the station, a boy from the group proactively came up and invited Su Yun and Qin Xue.
From his confident tone and organizational skills, it was not hard to see that this boy was the vice class monitor of Qin Xue's class.
"This..." Su Yun looked at the person holding her hand, undecided.
"No, thank you," Qin Xue said without much nonsense, directly and decisively refusing.
She didn't even look at the boy when she spoke, as if she didn't care at all.
"Is that so? Well, Chu Bing is also going back, so you can go with her," the boy replied with a smile, then returned to his own group.
"Sister Xue, are we going home then?"
Only after the person had left did Su Yun speak to Qin Xue.
"Mm, going back to take a shower."
Compared to just now, Qin Xue's tone towards Su Yun was obviously much gentler.
"Hi." Just at this moment, Chu Bing, who had been waiting for the bus alone in front, also came over.
Su Yun knew that Chu Bing must have heard them talking to the vice monitor and wanted to go back together.
She looked and found that the right half of Chu Bing's dress was indeed a little wet, and her heart felt a little uncomfortable.
Even though she was now holding an umbrella by herself.
"We can take the 755 to get to the school. Let's go together."
"Okay..."
"No, thank you." Faced with Chu Bing's pure and lively smile, Su Yun wanted to nod and agree immediately, but Qin Xue refused her again.
"?"
"Alright." Being so decisively rejected, even the usually optimistic Chu Bing couldn't help but frown a little.
"Eh, wait, we..."
Seeing Chu Bing leave alone with a sullen face, Su Yun anxiously wanted to go up and stop her.
This girl was so nice to them.
"Don't go." But, Qin Xue once again stopped her.
"Why?" Su Yun looked at Qin Xue with surprised eyes.
She felt that today's Sister Xue was a little strange.
But in the end, because of her feelings, Su Yun still chose Qin Xue.
She could only watch as Chu Bing stood alone at the station, then got on the bus alone.
Then, when the next 755 came, she and Qin Xue got on.
"..."
...
At 6 PM, Su Yun returned to her cozy rental apartment.
She opened the wet blue umbrella and placed it by the door before entering.
"..."
Now it was just her and Qin Xue, but she didn't know what to say.
Sister Xue must still be jealous, right? After all, she had been staring at Chu Bing on the bus.
But she had already explained, and she hadn't looked at her again...
Su Yun was a little helpless.
She felt that Chu Bing was similar to Xia Rou, both were gentle and kind girls. It would be nice to be friends.
(PS: Xia Rou is the sickly girl.)
She even felt that Chu Bing was a little better than Xia Rou.
Returning to the bedroom, Su Yun saw Qin Xue playing on her phone.
She could only lower her head and sit beside her.
"Slap slap (meow) slap." The room was very quiet, only the sound of the heavy rain hitting the window outside could be heard.
"Alright."
Suddenly, Qin Xue spoke.
"What's alright?" Su Yun asked in a daze.
"I've transferred the money for the milk tea and umbrella to that person. A thousand should be enough."
"Ah!?"
Su Yun immediately understood who Qin Xue was referring to.
"No, why? This feels so awkward..."
She immediately sat up. After seeing that Qin Xue had really transferred the money to her, she was dumbfounded.
Someone's kindness was treated as a thousand yuan.
At this moment, Su Yun couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Sister Xue, I really don't have any feelings for her."
"You've let me drink your blood so many times, you're so good to me. How could anyone else be more important to me in my heart?"
"I won't, mmmph..." Su Yun's declaration of pure love was not yet finished before a large hand covered her lips.
"Alright, alright, little sister Yun."
"I already knew on the bus, no need to repeat it a second time."
"You clearly didn't know..." Seeing Qin Xue's cold and indifferent expression, Su Yun was about to die of anxiety.
Sister Xue's mounds are so soft to squeeze, but her mouth is so hard!
You're clearly dying of jealousy, yet you say you know!
"..." Qin Xue was silent for a moment. After confirming that the doors and windows were closed, she lowered her head and moved closer to her little sister Yun.
"Little sister Yun, didn't you notice she was following us?"
"Ah, how could that be??"
With this, Su Yun directly cried out.
"Shh." Seeing Su Yun making such a fuss, Qin Xue immediately covered her small, pink mouth again.
"Mmmph..." Unable to speak, Su Yun could only look at Qin Xue with a wronged expression.
"..."
"It was at the toilet. Wasn't I already done? I was about to go out, but then I borrowed your paper to wipe..."
"?" Su Yun couldn't speak, just blinked her eyes expectantly.
"The slanted ventilation window under the toilet door, I saw someone outside."
"That person had bare legs."
"..."
Su Yun's mouth was slightly agape in surprise, her lips even kissing Qin Xue's hand.
Although she hadn't noticed someone outside the toilet, it was indeed careless of her. After all, she was so ashamed at the time she was about to evaporate...
Of course, if there had been a line of sight, she would have discovered it quickly. (Meaning that person didn't squat down to peek inside the toilet.)
But, how did Sister Xue judge that person was Chu Bing just by her bare legs?
Su Yun moved back, avoiding Qin Xue's hand.
"Even so, it's not necessarily Chu Bing. Maybe that person was wearing shorts?"
"I feel like it was her."
"Ah, this..." Su Yun's mouth was agape in surprise, saliva almost drooling out.
A woman's sixth sense, right? Fine, fine.
If she had said so earlier, she would have definitely dragged Qin Xue along with Chu Bing to go home.
Oh no, back to school.
Sister Xue is too paranoid.
She's so beautiful, and she's so gentle to everyone. She even lent her an umbrella even if it meant getting wet herself.
How could such a girl possibly follow them? If it were some boy with ulterior motives, she would believe it.
"Sister Xue, what are you eating tonight? I'll go make it."
Su Yun didn't think about this matter anymore. Full of energy, she prepared to get up and cook for Qin Xue.
And also turn on the water heater to heat some water.
"..."
"Eggplant is fine."
