Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 587 The Man Who Smashed Chopsticks

Bai Qingxia didn't make a move when she saw this. After all, she had just said "standing is fine." Although she did want to sit and wait now that the other person had left... Oh well, she'll just stand and wait a little longer.

Five minutes later, the proprietress finally finished serving another customer and walked towards Bai Qingxia. She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hey? Aren't you the little girl in the school uniform who ordered ballet clothes last year?"

Bai Qingxia was a little surprised. She didn't expect the proprietress to recognize her when she got closer. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's me."

"Wow, you've changed so much! You look even more beautiful now. How did your dance outfit go last time?"

“That’s good.” Bai Qingxia wasn’t good at small talk with strangers, so she quickly got to the point: “Do you have any red ballet costumes here? Something suitable for ballet.”

"What kind of red?" the proprietress asked as she led Bai Qingxia toward the clothes rack.

Bai Qingxia thought for a moment and said, "A red like maple leaves, with a gradient effect, would also be fine."

"Is this alright?" The proprietress picked out a red dance costume from the hanger. Bai Qingxia looked at it and smiled, "Yes, it's nice. Do you have any others?"

The proprietress looked at her, then went to find other dance costumes, and asked curiously, "Are you in college now?"

She still remembered that when this girl came a year ago, she was extremely socially anxious. She hid behind the boy almost the entire time, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. She followed the boy wherever he went, as if she were glued to him.

It's completely different now.

Compared to this girl, her own son seemed to be getting more and more gloomy. She had thought that her son would become more cheerful after he went to university.

"Mm," Bai Qingxia replied.

The proprietress: "Where did you go to university?"

"Pearl City."

"What a coincidence, my son is the same!"

Out of politeness, the proprietress did not ask which university it was, since many students avoid talking about that.

"How about this one?" The proprietress picked out another item and showed it to Bai Qingxia.

After looking at several outfits, Bai Qingxia finally decided on the first one. Since she was alone, she was a little hesitant to change, but it didn't really matter; she just needed to give her measurements.

"What's your name?" The proprietress came over with the order.

"The last name is Bai."

The proprietress looked at her with a slight surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Bai, just fill in your address and phone number here."

Watching Bai Qingxia walk out of the store, the proprietress glanced at the order again and then walked towards the lounge. Leaning against the door, she said to her son, "Luo Qiang, that little girl also ordered a dance costume a year ago. I thought she looked familiar a year ago, and when I heard her surname just now, I suddenly remembered. She looks a bit like your elementary school classmate."

Luo Qiang was focused on playing the game and didn't turn around: "Which one?"

"The one surnamed Bai, the one whose brother was in a car accident."

Luo Qiang stopped typing, turned around to look at his mother at the door, and his expression was somewhat stiff.

It took him a while to turn his body completely around, and he hesitated before asking, "Could it be that you've mistaken me for someone else?"

"Probably not... Besides, she's a ballet dancer. Isn't your classmate a ballet dancer too? And she was in high school last year and went to college this year, so she should be the same age as you."

Luo Qiang suddenly fell silent, his gaze gradually shifting to the ground.

The proprietress took the order and walked over, saying, "Her phone number is on this. Why don't you call and try to ask her full name? Or your mother can ask for you."

"There must be a mistake." Luo Qiang simply raised his hand and pushed the order aside without even looking at it.

He turned back to the computer, looking at the game characters floating on the screen, but at this moment he had no desire to continue playing.

Only he knew that he hoped to see that girl again every day, but he was also afraid of seeing her again.

……

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day before school started. At 8 p.m., Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia, Zheng Yifeng, and Zhong Jincheng went to the barbecue stall address that Cao Shuang had sent on his phone.

Lu Yuanqiu initially advised Cao Shuang against associating with these so-called "bad students," but after spending time with them at No. 7 Middle School, he gradually realized that some of these "bad students" weren't entirely without flaws. Perhaps they simply weren't suited for studying; at least when faced with trouble, they would stand up for each other out of loyalty. If possible, Lu Yuanqiu would still encourage them to persevere in their studies. They might not learn anything particularly useful, but the environment can change a person.

Cao Shuang is probably the one who has transformed the most among them.

Cao Shuang: "Have you all finished rehearsing your performance?"

Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "That's about it. We'll just have to wait for the start of the semester to participate in the competition."

Bai Qingxia took a small bite of barbecue and looked up to reply, "I'm almost done too."

Cao Shuang smiled and said, "I'll go with our school's team to the city arts competition and cheer you on."

"Okay."

Zheng Yifeng looked up in one direction and said, "They've arrived."

Liang Jingfeng exclaimed, "Oh dear, this alley is driving us crazy! It's so dark, we can't even drive in."

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "Stop complaining, sit down quickly."

He then introduced the senior and Liang Jingfeng to the boys around him. The boys were very enthusiastic and stood up to call them Brother Song and Brother Liang.

Liang Jingfeng had drunk some wine, his face flushed and he was feeling tipsy. He raised his glass and said, "I dare say, this time our song is absolutely invincible! It will definitely win over the judges!"

Lu Yuanqiu: "Can you stop setting up flags? What if you end up losing even the third prize?"

Whether he could win over the judges was hard to say, but he was sure he could win over a certain person, Zheng Yifeng thought to himself with a smile.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after a satisfying meal, the seven of them helped each other up. In fact, only Liang Jingfeng, Finger, and Cao Shuang had drunk some alcohol. Lu Yuanqiu, supporting Cao Shuang, said to the boys behind them, "We're leaving first. We have to catch our train tomorrow. You guys continue eating. I'll pay the bill!"

"Thank you, Brother Qiu! Take care, Brother Qiu!" The boys all stood up.

Bai Qingxia smiled at the boys, who were taken aback. They seemed surprised that their high school goddess would smile, and they all bowed and nodded shyly in return.

The seven walked side by side toward the alley entrance, Liang Jingfeng slurring drunkenly, "We...we can definitely win the award."

“Okay, keep standing.” Lu Yuanqiu replied.

Just as they were about to leave the alley, they suddenly stopped and saw young men carrying steel pipes emerging from the side alleys on both sides.

"You've set a pretty good flag, haven't you? And you even won an award. We don't even know if you can go back to school..." Lu Yuanqiu muttered to himself as he watched this scene. Cao Shuang next to him also instantly sobered up a bit.

Seeing Bai Qingxia tense up, Lu Yuanqiu shielded her behind him and subtly touched Zheng Yifeng. Zheng Yifeng understood and held his phone behind Lu Yuanqiu to dial 110. Zhong Jincheng glanced at the scene behind Lu Yuanqiu and silently swallowed.

The person leading the way was a young man wearing a cross around his neck. Lu Yuanqiu felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

"Did you cause this?" Lu Yuanqiu whispered to Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang shook his head and shouted loudly ahead, "Who are you looking for? Get to the point!"

The young man wearing the cross glanced at Fingel and muttered, "Weren't there two people who went into the alley? How come there are seven when they come out?"

But he didn't seem to care how many people there were. After wondering, he led the people behind him up. Lu Yuanqiu glanced at them and saw that there were a total of fifteen people, five of whom were carrying steel pipes.

"Go!" The man wearing the cross didn't waste any words and charged forward with a roar.

Lu Yuanqiu grabbed Bai Qingxia's hand and shouted, "Run back!"

Bai Qingxia followed closely behind him, and the seven of them ran back the way they came. Zheng Yifeng took advantage of the chaos to explain the situation on the phone, and a few minutes later, the seven of them ran back to the barbecue stall.

The man wearing the cross paused again, immediately stopped, and used a steel pipe to block the people behind him.

Lu Yuanqiu and Cao Shuang, panting heavily, turned around and stared at the boys at the barbecue stall.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Everyone reacted instantly, slamming their chopsticks on the table and standing up.
