Chapter 460: Chapter 314 Little Star_2
Xue Yuantong stretched out her small arm, "Of course it’s thanks to me, half of the credit is mine."
"You can catch shrimp?" Chen Siqing couldn’t believe it; Xue Yuantong didn’t look like someone who could handle hardships.
"Don’t believe me? Ask Jiang Ning. I really did catch them!" Xue Yuantong stood her ground, she was unusually confident.
Jiang Ning vouched for her, "You don’t have to doubt, it really was her."
Chen Siqing was impressed, "Wow, that’s impressive."
Receiving the compliment, Xue Yuantong said proudly, "It was okay, I just casually caught them."
Chen Siqing asked more about the crayfish, longing in her words. Just hearing about catching shrimp made it quite appealing, especially fishing and shrimp catching; those were really interesting, particularly for their high school age.
"Xue Yuantong, I heard that by the river dam in your area, there’s a place where you can ride horses," Chen Siqing inquired.
"There was when I was a child, I don’t know about now," Xue Yuantong said.
Chen Siqing said, "My friend said there’s been one recently, thirty yuan per person, and you can ride for quite a while."
She and her sister had never ridden a horse before.
Xue Yuantong said, "Next time we have a break, I’ll check it out for you."
She hadn’t ridden a horse either and was equally interested, but Xue Yuantong preferred boating more.
"Jiang Ning, do you remember the park we went to for the spring outing last time?" Xue Yuantong asked.
"Of course, Cui Yu fell into the river," Jiang Ning said.
Bai Yuxia in the front row pursed her lips, revealing two cute dimples.
"That park has a lake, and even boats. It’s a pity that the day we went, the pleasure boats weren’t in operation yet," Xue Yuantong said regretfully.
"Otherwise, next time we can go boating," she imagined aloud.
Chen Siqing said, "The park is quite far from your house, isn’t it? Over ten kilometers?"
Xue Yuantong waved her hand dismissively, "No problem, Jiang Ning cycles super fast. I’ll have him speed up next time, fly like the wind!"
"I don’t know when there will be boating," Xue Yuantong sighed.
Jiang Ning said, "There will be boats during the May Day holiday."
Xue Yuantong looked sideways at him, "How do you know that?"
"Because I have an inside connection," Jiang Ning said.
With that, he picked up his phone, composed a text message, and sent it to Shao Shuangshuang.
Shao Shuangshuang replied instantly, "Do you need me to buy the entire park?"
Jiang Ning replied, "Just sort out the boats, keep it running normally."
Shao Shuangshuang said, "Alright, I will arrange it now."
...
"Miao Zhe, what are you making?"
Miao Zhe was sitting in his seat, weaving plastic tube stars that were colorful.
Miao Zhe looked at Cui Yu and said, "Little stars."
Upon hearing that, Cui Yu immediately laughed, "You’re a guy, making little stars, just like a girl."
Miao Zhe sizing up Cui Yu seriously said, "That’s why you’ll never know why I’m making little stars."
Cui Yu was puzzled, "???"
Without getting an answer, Cui Yu ran back to the four-seater in the last row. Guo Kunnan’s place was vacant; only Ma Shicheng was playing a game, and Wang Longlong was watching him play.
Wang Longlong cheered, "Brother Ma, get him, go for it, solo kill him!"
Excited, he slapped his thigh, meanwhile keeping a lookout for any teacher that might suddenly appear around Brother Ma.
Cui Yu’s arrival did not escape Wang Longlong’s sharp eyes.
"What’s up, Brother Cui?" Wang Longlong asked; Cui Yu was an important supporter in his future plans.
Cui Yu said, "It’s so odd, I saw Miao Zhe making little stars."
Wang Longlong replied, "Little stars? There were girls in our class who used to make them too."
Cui Yu snapped, "Damn, Miao Zhe is a man."
Wang Longlong countered, "That just shows Miao Zhe has a fierce heart and appreciates delicate things."
Cui Yu was dumbfounded, "What does that mean?"
Ma Shicheng, having solo killed his opponent, relished a piece of Green Arrow chewing gum and shared it with them:
"It’s okay, what’s so strange about making little stars? I’ve folded paper cranes before."
Wang Longlong added, "I’ve folded rabbits before."
Cui Yu remarked, "I just feel there’s something off about Miao Zhe."
At this moment, two people passed by the entrance to Class 8.
One was Qi Tianheng, the other was Zhao Xiaofeng.
Cui Yu moved his lips but said nothing.
Qi Tianheng stood at the back door, scanning Class 8, his eyes pausing on Yang Sheng, feeling quite satisfied.
Zhao Xiaofeng offered, "Brother Tian, do you want me to call her out for you?"
Qi Tianheng spoke calmly, "I just came to have a look, there’s no need to call her out."
Zhao Xiaofeng cooperated, "Brother Tian is big-hearted, not bothering her is the ultimate tenderness."
Cui Yu, "Damn, such a poser, talking like if you bothered her, Yang Sheng would show up just the same."
Qi Tianheng glanced once, then again a couple more times, when unexpectedly, he spotted Miao Zhe folding little stars.
Qi Tianheng watched for half a minute, then averted his gaze, and left with Zhao Xiaofeng.
Back in class, Qi Tianheng’s mind flashed with the handsome face of Yang Sheng, followed by the image of the classmate from class 8 folding little stars.
Qi Tianheng remembered, back in junior high, there was a boy in his class who pursued a girl by folding 99 little stars for a confession.
With his astounding perseverance, he moved the girl and ultimately succeeded in his confession.
The more Qi Tianheng thought about the confession scenario, the more empathetic he felt; he believed he could do it too!
He asked Zhao Xiaofeng, "Do you know what Yang Sheng likes?"
Zhao Xiaofeng originally wanted to say money, but recalling what Brother Tian had told him, he pondered for a moment,
"Brother Tian, it’s hard to say, man, girls like all sorts of stuff, too many to count."
"Beautiful clothes, tasty snacks, even the stars in the sky."
Unintentional speaker, intentional listener.
’Stars?’
Qi Tianheng then approached Li Shi of his class, "Shishi, what do girls like?"
Li Shi was browsing a shopping app, and she looked up to say, "There’s a lot."
Qi Tianheng, "Do they like little stars?"
Li Shi was puzzled, "What little stars?"
"The ones made from plastic straws, all colorful," Qi Tianheng gestured with his hands.
Li Shi, "Sounds okay, they probably like it."
"What are you asking for?"
Qi Tianheng didn’t answer; he beckoned Zhao Xiaofeng over.
He pulled out two notes, "Help me buy some plastic straws, the kind we saw in class 8 just now."
Zhao Xiaofeng, "Got it, Brother Tian!"
Soon after.
Zhao Xiaofeng returned carrying a large plastic bag, "Brother Tian."
Qi Tianheng looked at the pile of plastic straws in the bag, quite satisfied.
He took out a straw, intending to fold a little star, but as soon as he started, he was stunned; he didn’t know how!
Qi Tianheng looked around, "Xiaofeng, Shishi, do either of you know how to fold little stars?"
"I don’t," said Li Shi.
Zhao Xiaofeng, "I’ll look it up on my phone!"
Qi Tianheng pulled out two hundred yuan notes, "Too slow, go to class 8, let him teach you. Pay attention and learn it well, then come back and teach me."
Zhao Xiaofeng took the money and dashed to class 8.
"Classmate, classmate, teach me how to fold little stars," panted Zhao Xiaofeng. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Miao Zhe didn’t even know this person and instinctively refused,
"It’s too much trouble, find someone else."
Cui Yu saw the scene and chuckled to himself.
He whispered to Ma Shicheng, "Who does he pick? Our class’s Miao Zhe?"
"Just watch, he’s going to get kicked out in no time."
Who didn’t know Miao Zhe had a stubborn temperament?
Zhao Xiaofeng had anticipated this, he pulled out one hundred yuan and slapped it on Miao Zhe’s desk.
Miao Zhe frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
Zhao Xiaofeng, "Teach me to fold little stars, and the money is yours."
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Xiaofeng was all smiles; now, he had mastered the skill of folding little stars to perfection. Miao Zhe was quite professional and even considerately wrote a summary of key points.
"Square deal!" Zhao Xiaofeng took the paper and took off running.
Cui Yu’s jaw dropped, "Damn, you can do it like that?"
Miao Zhe’s thin face rarely broke into a smile.
Dan Xiao arrived, sensing something amiss in the air, he asked innocently,
"Fellas, what’s going on?"
Cui Yu quickly said, "Zhao Xiaofeng was learning to fold little stars from Miao Zhe, and gave Miao Zhe 100 bucks!"
Dan Xiao, "So that’s what happened, I got it."
Dan Xiao only asked once.
The class was about to start, and Cui Yu noticed that Guo Kunnan’s seat was still empty, and he wondered aloud,
"What’s up with Brother Nan today, why hasn’t he come yet?"
