Autumn Tale 5.3

Finally it was her turn to order, she put her cell into the pocket.  She quickly ordered two black teas and left.

She stood there hesitantly for a couple of seconds, then strode towards the direction of Song Qiyan.  Song Qiyan looked up at her when she was only several steps away from their desk, watching her getting closer and closer.

Xia Liang stopped next to their desk.  She pa.s.sed the black tea from her right hand to him and  paused a bit then asked,  “s.h.i.+xiong, my black tea in the afternoon…...Uhm, did you buy it?”

Song Qiyan did not deny it, he merely curled his lips up.  It was an obvious admission.

Xia Liang smiled.  “Thank you s.h.i.+xiong.”

Song Qiyan lightly shook his head.  “You are welcome.”  Then he lifted his hand holding the black tea.  “We are even now.”

Xia Liang,  “Not yet.  I still owe you for dinner from several weeks ago.”

Before Song Qiyan could reply, Wei Jian, who sat next to him, interrupted impatiently.  “Aiyah, you owe me and I owe you.  Just make it straight that you want to date each other~I say Qiyan, no wonder you’ve been so grumpy lately and pus.h.i.+ng us to finish the final report in three weeks which was supposed to be a month long project.  So it’s all because you don’t have time to go out with our little xuemei……?”

Xia Liang blinked her eyes innocently.

The blonde girl sitting at the opposite side leaned back.  “English, please.”

Xia Liang apologized immediately.

Speaking about it, this was an unwritten rule of school etiquette.  Always speak in English in a group setting in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.  But Xia Liang could clearly feel a trace of hostility in her eyes.
