Picking up on the hint immediately, Mu Xiaoxiao went up to hug Han Qiqing. âQiqing, Iâm so happy that youâre here. Come, letâs go to the room.â
Just as she was going to take Qiqing away, she heard Yin Shaojie saying mildly, âTake your medicine first.â
That look of his was quite bossy.
Mu Xiaoxiao flattened her mouth, hesitated for a moment as she glanced at Han Qiqing beside her before reluctantly going to take the medicine.
Han Qiqing smiled and greeted Mama Yin sweetly, âAuntie, how are you? Iâm here to visit Xiaoxiao. Sheâs looking much better now.â
Mama Yin smiled warmly and asked, âHave you had your meal, Little Qing?â
Han Qiqing was very lovable to the elders. She nodded and said, âYeah,I have eaten already, and so I thought of coming to see Xiaoxiao, wondering if she may be getting any better. But Iâm relieved now to see her looking much better.â
Then, the helper carried the fruits over,and Mama Yin called out, âLittle Qing, have a seat and have some fruits too. Itâs rare for you to come here. If thereâs anything you would like to eat, tell Auntie.â
âAlright, Auntie. I wonât stand on ceremony then.â Han Qiqing was about to go over and have a seat.
After swallowing the medicine, Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and grabbed her hand, and she said to Mama Yin, âMama Yin, Qiqing and I will be in the room to have a private chat. You donât have to wait for us. Weâll eat later.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mama Yin smiled. âWhat private chat? Even Iâm not allowed to listen?â
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yin Shaoje, smiling playfully as she said, âWeâre saying bad things about him, so Mama Yin canât listen. Weâre going in now.â
âOkay. I will send a helper to bring fruits for you two to eat in the room then.
âOkay! Thanks Mama Yin!â
Mu Xiaoxiao took Han Qiqing as they scurried into the room.
Han Qiqing looked at her. âYou can still skip and jump so lively. It seems that you are pretty much recovered.â
âI havenât fully recovered, but I am feeling more energetic. Now, if only I didnât have to take medicine.â
Mu Xiaoxiao took her to sit on the sofa, her gaze resting upon on the bag she was carrying in her hand.
âIs this for me? What is it?â
Han Qiqing sat next to her, put the bag on the coffee table, and said, âLu Yichen told me to give you this. He knows that you are sick, so itâs not convenient for him to visit you.â
âHim?â Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She opened the bag and saw a few notebooks inside.
Han Qiqing poked her head over to look, and she asked, âWhat is this?â
Although she was very curious about what Lu Yichen wanted to give to Xiaoxiao, she didnât open it up to check since it wasnât right to do so.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, âItâs a notebook. I totally forgot about this matter. I asked if I could borrow his notebook since he has such good grades so that I may be able to get some study shortcuts.â
After all, no one wanted to rank at the bottom of the list. Not only did she fail her tests, she was far from the passing scores.
In Year One, they only had tests with a maximum of 100 marks. In Year Two, they would be taking tests with a maximum of 150 marks. With more questions as they progress, if she were to continue scoring in the 30 marks to 40 marks range thatâd be really shameful!
Although Mu Xiaoxiao wasnât such a super scholar like Lu Yichen, her grades were not bad. Ever since she was young, she had always been one of the better performing students.
She took pride in herself too. How could she allow herself to score so badly all the time?
âNotes?â Han Qiqing looked surprised as she picked up a notebook to browse it.
From the condition of the paper and the writing in it, it was obvious that this was a newly bought notebook.
