Bai Tang was about to head to the cafeteria with Sheng Qi when she received a call from Zhang Xiaochu.
"Where are you?" Zhang Xiaochu asked, his voice tinged with concern.
"At the club, about to grab lunch," Bai Tang replied with a smile.
"I'm coming to find you!" Zhang Xiaochu hung up immediately, not giving Bai Tang a chance to respond.
Knowing she couldn't stop him, Bai Tang didn't call back.
After they finished eating and came out of the cafeteria, Zhang Xiaochu arrived.
"How are you?"
Zhang Xiaochu looked at her with worry, his gaze sweeping over her like a radar, afraid she might be upset or suffering.
"I'm fine. Do you want to eat?" Bai Tang asked with a smile.
Zhang Xiaochu shook his head. "Can we talk?"
They found a quiet spot to sit down, and Zhang Xiaochu was still concerned about her. "Don't worry about this. I'll help you!"
Bai Tang laughed. "No need!"
"You used to dream of getting into A University. Now there are only two months left. Are you going to give up?" Zhang Xiaochu frowned. "Even if I laugh at you for being delusional, I still want you to give it a shot!"
Bai Tang smiled softly, gazing steadily at the young man before her, feeling a warmth in her heart.
"Brother Chu, you're two meters eighty in my eyes today!" Bai Tang said with a mischievous grin.
"So, want to be my girlfriend?"
Bai Tang's mouth twitched. He really knew how to take advantage of the moment!
"What girlfriend?" A familiar, cold voice rang out, and Zhang Xiaochu felt a chill at the back of his neck.
He knew who it was without turning around.
Did this guy have to appear out of nowhere like that?
All this startling was going to give him a heart condition!
Bai Tang turned around, smiling at the arriving Sheng Qi, and tattled, "Beauty, he's trying to poach me behind your back again!"
Zhang Xiaochu: "..."
Damn it!
Sheng Qi didn't look at Bai Tang; he stared directly at Zhang Xiaochu and said coolly, "It's class time right now. Why aren't you at school? What are you doing here?"
Zhang Xiaochu told himself to stand his ground.
"No class. Came to chat with Bai Tang!" As he spoke, meeting Sheng Qi's icy gaze, Zhang Xiaochu's bravado gradually faded.
"No class for a senior?" Sheng Qi smirked, exuding an overwhelming pressure.
To Bai Tang, he looked just like a disciplinary director!
Zhang Xiaochu nervously swallowed. "I was worried about her, so I came to check..."
"Go back to class. I'll handle her matters," Sheng Qi said coldly, with an unquestionable command.
Zhang Xiaochu felt even more frustrated, cursing Sheng Qi in his mind: Damn it, he's competing with me again!
Still, Zhang Xiaochu knew that if Sheng Qi got involved, the outcome would be better.
Right now, his top priority was getting Bai Tang back to school, so even if he was annoyed, he wouldn't say much.
"Handle it quickly. Let me know if you need any help!" Zhang Xiaochu stood up, turned his gaze to Bai Tang, and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently ruffle her hair. "Don't worry, you'll definitely get back to school."
Bai Tang was a bit stunned by Zhang Xiaochu's sudden head pat.
"Brother Chu, I'm really not as weak as you think," Bai Tang said with a slight smirk, not wanting to discourage him.
Sheng Qi stood nearby, his cold gaze fixed on Zhang Xiaochu's hand resting on Bai Tang's head.
His actions reacted faster than his reason.
By the time Sheng Qi snapped back to himself, he had already reached out, grabbed Zhang Xiaochu's hand, and pulled it away.
"Go back to class!"
Sheng Qi's voice was even colder than before.
Zhang Xiaochu looked at the hand Sheng Qi was holding. "What are you doing?"
