After seeing the emotion color, they all turned pink.

"Okay, then I'll just not ask anymore."

Xu Chuan suppressed his smile and raised the mango pomelo sago in his hand as a sign of truce.

Who designed Princess Xixi? She's so cute and fun!

At this moment, Lin Xixi, who was silently drinking her milk tea, was displaying a complex mix of emotions, one after another, in a captivating narrative.

Perfectly vibrant colors, a feast for the eyes.

"It's getting dark, are we still taking photos today?"

Xu Chuan looked around the campus of Jiangda University. The sun had not yet set, but the streetlights along the paths were already lit up one by one.

It'll be really dark if we go any later...

"What time are we leaving?"

As if talking to herself, Princess Xixi took out her phone and glanced at the class group chat, "Ten more minutes until we have to take the bus back..."

"Ten minutes..."

Xu Chuan also checked his phone and opened the map app. The lakeside spot, which was suitable for taking photos, was not far from the playground.

If you take away the round-trip time, you have five minutes to take the picture.

It's more than enough to keep as a souvenir.

"Let's go," Xu Chuan suggested. "To the lakeside..."

"Ah...is that enough...don't come back and leave us behind at Jiangda University..."

The image of a well-behaved, rule-abiding child has been etched into Princess Xixi's heart.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

She had never done anything like being on time for morning reading, returning to the classroom from the restroom before the bell rang, or getting into bed at the last second before lights out...

Xu Chuan has done a lot.

"That's enough, five minutes round trip, three or four minutes of filming... Even if we end up being left behind, we can just take a taxi back..."

"Hmm... okay."

Lin Xixi was persuaded.

Another reason is that the power of kindness came into play.

Xu Chuan carried the Polaroid camera with him all afternoon, but she had told him beforehand not to take pictures of other people...

If they went back like this, Xu Chuan would have wasted an entire afternoon hanging around and getting tired, and Lin Xixi felt a little guilty.

"Let's go, let's go..."

After reaching an agreement, Xu Chuan urged Lin Xixi to quicken her pace.

After all, saving time on the way to the lake means having more time to enjoy the scenery and take photos.

But, before even a minute had passed...

"Ah... why are you running so fast, Xu Chuan? I'm a little... unable to catch up..."

Because Princess Xixi hadn't finished her mango pomelo sago dessert and was also carrying a small bag, her movements were somewhat restricted.

But she still tried her best to quicken her pace, pulled her cute baseball cap down tighter, and took small, quick steps to catch up.

Because it was someone else's school, she kept her voice down as she ran, protecting the milk tea in her hands.

"what?"

Xu Chuan hadn't expected Princess Xixi to be so weak.

To accommodate her pace, he wasn't really running anymore; he was practically walking briskly.

Even so, Lin Xixi was still panting heavily.

Compared to that, Little Star's stamina is quite impressive.

Xu Chuan still remembered that when he stood up for her at No. 3 Middle School, it was also evening. When Xiao Ruoxing saw him call out the group of people who had bullied her before, she ran much faster than she does now...

But this situation is different. Xu Chuan just calculated that at his speed, he would have enough time to travel back and forth between the playground and the lake.

But given Xiao Ruoxi's stamina...

If we really wanted to film it, we might not be able to make it in time.

They tricked a good girl into a ditch and caused her to fall into a ditch.

There's nothing we can do about that.

Xu Chuan slowed his pace slightly, and the two walked side by side.

Then, he reached out, reached down, grabbed Lin Xixi's wrist, and pulled her along as they ran.

At the same time, a pale blue field unfolded, absorbing the gray weariness in the outline of her emotions while supplying her with pale blue relaxation.

"We have to hurry, or we'll really be too late..." Xu Chuan said.

"..."

On the tree-lined paths of Jiangting University,

Lin Xixi, whose wrist was grabbed by Xu Chuan, blinked and froze.

Princess Xixi ran with her mouth slightly open, looking up at Xu Chuan's profile.

In fact, the moment she was pulled back, her physical fatigue instantly subsided considerably.

A feeling of relaxation and comfort washes over you.

However, Lin Xixi didn't actually notice any of this; her body was simply being mechanically pulled along.

Her attention was entirely focused on Xu Chuan's face.

As the two quickened their pace,

Lin Xixi looked at his profile.

Xu Chuan's profile, including his earlobes and the base of his ear, slowly flushed red...

A sweet smile unconsciously crept onto the girl's lips.

……

[Time: 17:25]

Several buses were neatly parked in the hotel's parking area, and with a swishing sound, the front and rear doors opened.

The students from No. 3 Middle School who had just gotten off the bus were yawning, while others were still half asleep on the bus, their tired voices mingling together.

"All students, all students, dinner starts at 5:40 PM, and that's it. You can go back to your rooms and rest for a bit now..."

Not far away, the head of the first-year high school class at No. 3 Middle School was making an announcement through a loudspeaker.

This afternoon, I visited the Jiangting History and Culture Museum and the High-Tech Zone without taking a break. My legs are about to give out from walking so much.

"Wanxing, are you tired?"

Chen Ziyue, who had dozed off on the bus, felt like her legs were made of lead when she woke up. She looked to the side.

Xu Wanxing was looking down at her phone.

Her gentle low ponytail hung quietly behind her head, the soft ends resting on the brim of her sweatshirt, and a few wisps of hair fell down as she lowered her head.

The faint light from the phone screen shone on the girl's fair, slightly chubby cheeks.

Her fingers slid slowly across the paper, examining each line one by one, a faint smile playing on her slightly pursed lips.

On the screen were many photos and videos taken this afternoon of museums and high-tech zones.

However, they weren't posted on WeChat Moments, but rather sent to a specific person.

Chen Ziyue secretly glanced at the nickname Xu Wanxing had given the other person out of the corner of her eye.

【Xu Chuanᰔᩚ】

This seems to be her cousin's name... They have a very good relationship...

"Ziyue, let's get off the bus."

Just like a hamster carefully counting all the food in its burrow, Little Star was very satisfied after looking at all the pictures sent to Xu Chuan.

She turned her head to look at Chen Ziyue beside her and said with a smile.

"We're going out to eat. Wishing Star is still at the hotel. We can bring it some corn; it really loves it..."

"Okay... are you going out again after you finish eating?" Chen Ziyue asked softly, as if she had just remembered something.

"Okay." Xu Wanxing nodded expectantly. "I'm going to the hotel across the street to find my cousin... they live at school there..."

"Ah, but... it seems like No. 4 Middle School hasn't returned yet. Just before I went into the underground parking garage, I saw that the entrance to the hotel across the street was completely empty..."

Chen Ziyue recalled.

Xu Wanxing blinked, then pondered for a while.

"Then I'll wait for him in their hotel lobby after I finish eating..."

"..."

Seeing her best friend's expectant yet cautious expression, Chen Ziyue had some guesses in her mind.

The relationship between Xu Wanxing and her "cousin"...

"Hmm...they need to eat too, right? You could send them a message first and then arrange a time to eat together..."

Chen Ziyue offered her suggestion.

Ziyue's suggestion seems more convenient...

Xu Wanxing nodded, then took out her phone and sent a message.

Little Star: [Xu Chuan, we're back by car. We're having dinner in the hotel lobby on the first floor.]

Little Star: [When are we going to Jiangting University? (smiles)]
