The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship

Chapter 523 - 461 The First Step

Quan Jin finished drawing her eyebrows and said indifferently, "Looking at our school, there’s not a single appealing guy among these misfits.""Hey, don’t say that. My boyfriend Qi Hao is definitely not a misfit." Susu’s boyfriend is in clinical medicine, handsome and gentle. Although his family isn’t wealthy, he excels in other aspects. To Susu, familial wealth is secondary to great love. Moreover, Susu herself was born into an ordinary family, so they’re quite well-matched."

Quan Jin glanced at Susu, seemingly about to say something, but eventually just raised her eyebrows and held back, "There you go defending him again, fine fine, only your Qi Hao is different."

"You sound so reluctant. What’s wrong with my Qi Hao? I know you have high standards, but while different strokes for different folks, you can’t just dismiss everyone else outright."

Just as the two were about to argue, Mu Chenxi suddenly picked up a deck of cards, "Let’s play Fight the Landlord. I’m so bored."

As soon as she finished speaking, the room went quiet. Quan Jin looked at her as if she were a hopeless case.

Mu Chenxi chuckled awkwardly, adding, "Playing with sticky notes."

"Count me in." Xinyu climbed down from the top bunk, "Madam here will give you all a run for your money."

Susu wanted to study so she didn’t join, and the other three sat on Mu Chenxi’s bed to play Fight the Landlord.

Soon, Mu Chenxi’s face was covered with sticky notes, nearly covering her eyes, but she still clamored, "Hurry up, next game, next game, I need to turn this around."

"You’ve been trying to turn this around all afternoon and it hasn’t happened. You’re just a hopeless case," Xinyu teased her. "You seem smart enough, so why does your IQ drop when playing cards? You had both jokers and four 2s. Even if you played blindfolded you should have won. Couldn’t you have split the 4 twos?"

Mu Chenxi said aggrievedly, "But I feel the four twos should stick together, never to be separated."

Xinyu facepalmed: "Beating you brings me no glory."

The three girls kept bickering and playing all afternoon. Midway, Susu took a call from her boyfriend, and they chatted excitedly about everything from satellite launches to presidential elections and to a myriad of other topics.

It wasn’t until Susu’s phone showed less than 10% battery that she finally hung up after dawdling for another five minutes. In a shy, sweet voice, she said, "Let’s have dinner together tonight."

After she hung up, Mu Chenxi pretended to pick something up from the ground, searching around for quite some time.

Susu couldn’t help but ask, "What are you looking for, girl?"

"I’m picking up my goosebumps that fell all over the floor."

"Pshh," Susu jumped off the bed, grabbed Mu Chenxi and began to tickle her intensely, exploiting her ultra-sensitive spots.

Mu Chenxi rolled around on the bed laughing uncontrollably, barely able to breathe, begging for mercy, "Hel...help me."

Xinyu and Quan Jin soon joined the commotion, and the four girls turned into a playful mess on the bed, ending the earlier upset with laughter.

After all the fun, Susu, munching on a hair tie while tying her hair, suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh no, I totally forgot to tell you guys, Qi Hao said their basketball team is challenging the faculty team and he mentioned Professor Luo will join too."

"Why didn’t you say so earlier." Mu Chenxi emerged from the blankets, her hair a mess, suddenly looking serious at the three, "Are we brothers or not?"

Seeing Mu Chenxi’s energized demeanor, everyone knew what she was up to, so...o her mouth, turned the switch on, just about to shout, but suddenly the megaphone broadcasted a seasoned hawker’s cry: collecting old refrigerators, TVs, washing machines...

Chenxi was completely flabbergasted, what’s going on, that’s not what she said.

With one loud blast from the megaphone, it immediately overpowered the whole area, and the entire stadium quieted down, hundreds of eyes all turned to Chenxi holding the megaphone, including Luo Shangqing, who was dribbling the ball and looking over with a slightly mocking expression.

"Oh crap." Chenxi hurriedly tried to turn off the megaphone, and accidentally let out a phrase which the megaphone broadcasted loudly, "Oh crap" echoed through the stadium.

Someone laughed first, followed by the whole place bursting into laughter.

Chenxi hadn’t even recovered when a school uniform was thrown over her head, and she was dragged outside.

"Wait, the game isn’t over yet... hey hey."

Luo Shangqing watched the direction Chenxi was leaving, usually solemn, he suddenly burst out laughing, like a blooming poppy, instantly lighting up the entire court.

When Chenxi returned to the dormitory, she was thrown into the corner, the three sisters circled her, pointing fingers in disappointment.

"Old Four, where did you get that megaphone?"

"I borrowed it from someone." Chenxi looked innocent, who would have thought it had a recorded message inside.

"Oh dear, do you even have a brain, using a junk collector’s device, you certainly have a wide circle of friends." Quan Jin pointed at her forehead, "Now you’ve really made a name for yourself, probably tomorrow the whole school will know that a girl from Nursing Class Three brought a junk collector’s megaphone to cheer at the game."

Susu held back her laughter: "Though you’ve embarrassed yourself in front of the whole school, your Professor Luo will definitely remember you, congratulations."
