"Master, I promise you, I agree to everything you said." Nan Shan earnestly made a promise.
Nan Qiao looked at him skeptically, still not fully believing.
Nan Shan laughed and said, "Master, how about I swear instead? You won’t believe unless I swear."
"It’s like if you swear, then I’d believe you." Nan Qiao said with mixed feelings.
Believing or not, there’s really no guarantee.
Promises are just a slight constraint, that’s all.
"I’ll tell my master. You should stay ho and rest, take care of your health, and stop going to the lab." Nan Qiao reminded him again.
Nan Shan: "..."
This was cutting off all his paths.
Nan Qiao added, "Ah Nian, help keep an eye on Nan Shan, don’t let him go to the lab."
Zheng Qinnian nodded with a smile, "Sure, I’ll do as you say."
After giving instructions, Nan Qiao left so dicine for Nan Shan and then left.
After getting in the car, Nan Qiao went to school.
Chen Man and Du Qianqian were waiting for Nan Qiao’s arrival. Lin Mo had a violin beside him, a new one gifted by Nan Qiao.
Chen Man said awkwardly, "Qiaoqiao, to be honest, we still haven’t recruited anyone."
Du Qianqian also sheepishly touched her nose. She felt quite embarrassed as well; just the few of them, and no one else was recruited.
This club, maybe it’s better to just give up.
No one feels proud to talk about it.
Nan Qiao laughed, "It’s alright, it’s just us few. There’s a competition at the end of the sester. Focus on the competition and aim for fa in one battle."
"Fa in one battle seems impossible; we won’t even have enough people by then." Chen Man shrugged.
Just thinking about it is frustrating. Li Ning and Shi Qi have many people; on their side, there are only four pitiful individuals.
At this mont, Chen Man was a bit disheartened. Finding no team mbers, the four of them alone would be exhausted.
"Qiaoqiao, I don’t want to be a wet blanket, but we really can’t make bricks without straw. Maybe I should mobilize my classmates and take the initiative." Chen Man prepared herself to show off her skills.
Du Qianqian also said, "I know a few girlfriends, but their skills don’t et our standards, otherwise they would have joined our club long ago."
Lin Mo, who hadn’t spoken, also chid in, "Sorry, I don’t have any friends, so I can’t help much."
Lin Mo kept his head down, with the deanor of a lancholic prince, possessing eyes full of stories.
Du Qianqian walked over and lightly patted him on the arm, smiling, "Hey, how can you say you don’t have friends? Aren’t we your friends? We’ve been together for so long, you haven’t considered us friends?"
Chen Man wore a look of helplessness and hurt, "If you think like that, we’ll all be sad, OK?"
Nan Qiao echoed with a laugh, "So Lin Mo didn’t consider us friends."
Lin Mo looked at his three friends with surprise, initially shocked, then shy, and finally touched.
"Thank you for being willing to be my friends." Lin Mo still appeared reserved.
His introverted nature made him not good at socializing, only good at listening and focusing on his tasks.
Nan Qiao said, "You guys take care of your own things first, we’ll talk about the Quan Neng Society later. As for the dical Club matters, Manman and I will go over there."
"Okay," Chen Man eagerly followed behind Nan Qiao as they walked out.
The two of them chatted as they walked.
Chen Man said in a low voice, "I’ve observed Lin Mo up till now, and I have to say he’s genuinely very solitary, always quietly playing the violin, which is top-notch. But with no one joining the Quan Neng Society, everyone jokes we might as well rena it the No-One Society."
Nan Qiao snickered, and Chen Man was helpless, "Qiaoqiao, please don’t laugh, your laughter makes nervous."
"Don’t worry, it’s quality over quantity. Having many people, but none outstanding, just wastes ti and energy."
As soon as Nan Qiao said this, applause sounded.
The one clapping wasn’t Chen Man, but Shi Qi.
Shi Qi was accompanied by Lu Hui, and she clapped without any expression of admiration on her face.
"Nan Qiao, you are still so glib. It’s a sha soone like you isn’t in multi-level marketing."
Shi Qi walked towards Nan Qiao, with hostility in her deanor.
She stared at Nan Qiao’s face with undisguised disdain in her eyes.
Lu Hui stood next to her, acting like an uninvolved person, quietly watching Shi Qi speak harshly to Nan Qiao.
Chen Man couldn’t bear to hear such words about Nan Qiao and transford into a little arguing expert, eloquent and articulate, "Our Qiaoqiao has always been so glib-tongued, are you just jealous? If you’re jealous, just go learn instead of saying such jealous words here as if you’re afraid others won’t know you’re not as good as Qiaoqiao?"
Chen Man looked her up and down, "Indeed, jealousy makes you unrecognizable, no wonder you’re so ugly."
Shi Qi: "..."
Lu Hui: "..."
Nan Qiao couldn’t be bothered to argue with Shi Qi, "Good dogs don’t block the way, hurry and go, don’t make a fool of yourself here. If you have so much free ti, I don’t mind finding sothing for you to do."
In front of Shi Qi, Nan Qiao picked up her phone and started calling.
"Shi Qi is too idle; find sothing for her parents to do."
Shi Qi: "..."
Can Nan Qiao really do that?
Nan Qiao couldn’t be bothered to look at the face Shi Qi made while jumping around; she only wanted to quickly do her own things.
Nan Qiao pulled Chen Man past Shi Qi, glancing briefly at Lu Hui as they left.
Lu Hui had a bad feeling, as if Nan Qiao had discovered sothing?
Lu Hui shook her head, trying to dismiss the bad thoughts and ideas, and turned her gaze to Shi Qi.
"Shi Qi, should you call your parents? Nan Qiao didn’t seem like she was joking; she seed to be stating a fact."
Shi Qi was dismissive and glared in the direction Nan Qiao had left.
"An unwanted orphan, still thinking she can transform into a phoenix. Just wait for her to et her doom!"
Shi Qi folded her arms and left. Lu Hui watched her leave, shaking her head.
Idiot!
Shi Qi knew very little, especially regarding Nan Qiao, she knew nothing.
What she saw was what those people wanted her to see.
Being used as a pawn without realizing it, utterly foolish.
Lu Hui took out her phone to send a ssage, her brows furrowed, unable to relax.
——
Nan Qiao gave so final instructions in the lab and checked the progress, feeling very satisfied.
Chen Man wanted to talk to her, but Nan Qiao waved her hand and rushed into the restroom.
Blood flowed from her mouth, and Nan Qiao quickly turned on the faucet, letting the water wash the blood away.
Chen Man’s anxious voice ca from outside, "Qiaoqiao, are you okay?"
Nan Qiao quickly tidied herself up, patted her cheeks to ensure no traces were left, and then walked out of the restroom.
"I ate too much this morning, just a bit nauseous, I’m fine."
Nan Qiao patted her cheeks, now slightly flushed, looking full of energy, not like she was uncomfortable, which reassured Chen Man.
The two left the lab together, and soone spread the news of this incident.
