Chapter 236 - Exam Day (2)
When Xi Qian finally arrived at their meeting place, she looked like her energy had been sucked out from her body as she had unceremoniously dropped on the seat next to Su Xiaofei. She then rested her head on Su Xiaofei's shoulder, murmuring incoherent words to herself.
"So how was the exam, Qian?" Su Xiaofei pitied her best friend, but at least Xi Qian didn't have to spend sleepless nights for some time, now that the entrance exam was over.
"Harder than I thought." Xi Qian answered. "What kind of hell did I get myself into?"
"Xi Qian, you should know by now that it will be harder in the future. This is just a start, that is, if you passed the examinations." Lu Qingfeng commented.
"Of course I know that, Lu Qingfeng. You really don't have to remind me." Xi Qian huffed and thanked Su Xiaofei for the sliced cake. Now that the exam was over, she was becoming increasingly aware of how hungry she was.
"Then do you intend to quit your part-time job once you're admitted to med school? I doubt that you would have time for that anymore." Lu Qingfeng continued to question her.
Xi Qian lifted her gaze and scrutinized the young man across from her. She wasn't sure why Lu Qingfeng was asking her these questions. Was he truly concerned about her, or was this another one of his ploys to make himself look good in front of Su Xiaofei?
"I decided to resign from work onces the classes start. I intend to focus on my studies instead."
Lu Qingfeng hummed, pleased with her answer. It's important for him to know that Xi Qian would be fine on her own, so Su Xiaofei won't have to constantly worry about her welfare.
"What were you two doing while waiting for me?" Xi Qian asked, as she took another bite from her cake and ordered a cold, refreshing drink.
"Nothing important, Qian. We were just watching the passersby." Su Xiaofei replied, noticing that her best friend and Lu Qingfeng's treatment of each other were getting better these days.
"Watching people? Is that interesting?"
"I don't know, but Xiao Feng said you can learn a lot by paying attention to other people."
"Is that so?" Xi Qian then followed the people outside the café with her eyes.
Indeed, she could tell that each person was unique in their own ways. There couldn't be a person who shared similarities in every aspect of their lives. Even twins had a few minor, if not major, differences from each other.
"You've got some weird pastime, Lu Qingfeng." Xi Qian commented, but Lu Qingfeng didn't take it seriously.
Xi Qian had said meaner words than this before anyway, and Lu Qingfeng had learned to tolerate her at times for Su Xiaofei's sake.
"But you have a point." Xi Qian continued, "I could tell that that woman is having issues with her knees by the way she walked."
Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng followed her gaze and saw a young woman dressed in sportswear, dragging her feet as she walked.
"She probably pushed herself too hard and hurt her knees in the process." Lu Qingfeng said. "Everything needs to be done in moderation, including exercise."
Xi Qian scoffed and couldn't agree more with him.
"What do we know? Some people are just impatient to get results and don't even consider what could harm them in the process. I'm surprised, though, by Feifei. You've been eating more recently. Do you still have time to work out?" Xi Qian turned her attention towards her best friend.
"En. I made sure to work out to burn the excess calories I've consumed, but not that much."
"I could tell you gained weight." Xi Qian said. "In a good way, though. You look better and healthier now compared to before."
Su Xiaofei used to starve herself and refuse to eat anything in order to keep her 'ideal' weight. Xi Qian and Yun Qingrong had been worried sick about it and no matter how hard they tried to persuade Feifei to eat more, she was adamant to eat much less.
"Just like Lu Qingfeng said, in moderation. I get to enjoy delicious food, but not splurge on it." Su Xiaofei said.
Her attention was then drifted to her phone as she received a response from her mother.
"I guess we need to finish our snacks now." She hummed and checked the schedule sent to her email by her mother. It was Qin Muyao's itinerary for the following week.
"Xiao Feng, do you mind sending us to Bluemedia? I need to be there for a meeting." She asked Lu Qingfeng. Since she had sent the Zhangs siblings for some errands, they won't be coming back anytime soon.
"Okay. No problem. I also want to meet Aunty Qing anyway."
Xi Qian looked at the two in confusion.
"Huh? Why am I tagging along with you?"
"Oh? I thought you wanted to meet your idol, Qin Muyao? I specifically moved our meeting this afternoon, so you could meet him in person. Guess who his new manager is." Su Xiaofei gave her a mischievous grin.
It took a moment for Xi Qian to understand what her best friend was trying to say, but when she did, she pounced on Su Xiaofei and gave her a bear hug. She hadn't expected that Su Xiaofei would arrange a special meeting with her idol.
"Ah! Feifei! You really are the best! I thought you're only observing at Bluemedia now, but you're going to work with Qin Muyao? You should have told me earlier!"
Su Xiaofei burst into a round of laughter, seeing the excitement and happiness on Xi Qian's face.
"How could I do what? I know how important it is for you to focus on your studies. If I told you about meeting Qin Muyao earlier, I bet you wouldn't be able to focus on your exam."
"Then what are we waiting for? We should hurry!" Xi Qian immediately released Su Xiaofei and finished her cake.
