Chapter 429 - The First Song of Qin (2) (2/2)

Because the FL moved out, Qiao-mu kept nagging Shi Sheng. Thoroughly annoyed by this, Shi Sheng packed her things to go live on-campus.

“Chu-Chu!” Qiao-fu chased her from behind. “Kiddo, your mum was just saying those things for your own good.”

‘For my own good? The only thing she talks about is the FL! What part of that was “for my own good”?’

Though this was Qiao Chu’s own fault. Shi Sheng didn’t feel like Qiao-mu was in the wrong—after all, everyone preferred people who listened to them.

But Shi Sheng couldn’t take the constant nagging.

“It’s not convenient to stay at school. And you don’t know how to take care of yourself. Quick, follow me back.” Qiao-fu reached out to pull Shi Sheng.

“Dad, I’m already old enough to know how to take care of myself.” Shi Sheng broke free from his grasp. “It’s also pretty inconvenient for me to keep running back and forth between school and home.”

“But how are you to stay there…” Qiao-fu furrowed his brows. ‘She’s never stayed on-campus before.’

Shi Sheng had made up her mind on not returning with him. In the end, Qiao-fu could only allow her to leave.

The school dorm rooms were made up of four-man rooms. School had already started for quite some time by now, so Shi Sheng got allocated to one of the dorms for Year 4 students.

Two of her dorm-mate seniors were doing their internships and had rented apartments outside.

The other senior was preparing for the entrance exams to a graduate course, so she spent the whole day at the library and only came back right as curfew was about to be enforced.

As a result, Shi Sheng was basically living alone in the dorms.

“Chu-Chu.”

Just as Shi Sheng planned to make her way to the cafeteria to fill her stomach, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

Shi Sheng turned around. The name “Chen Xi” popped into her head.

Despite how feminine it sounded, its owner was a boy.

“How come I haven’t seen you lately? Been grounded by your parents again?” Chen Xi had an expression that said ‘I’ve guessed right, haven’t I?’

Chen Xi’s looks didn’t stand out, but his smile set people at ease and he had a friendly personality, so he was pretty famous in school.

Chen Xi and Qiao Chu were rather close—they almost always hung together when at school. Many people thought they were a couple, but they were really just bros.

“No.” Shi Sheng turned to continue walking.

Chen Xi blinked and hurriedly chased after her. “What is it? Not happy? Have you been scolded by your mother again? I always tell you not to run outside all day…”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Can someone help me(bbb) get rid of this chatterbox? All I(bbb) wanted was to eat in peace…’

“Go get a spot, I’ll go buy food. Same braised pork ribs as always?” The moment they entered the cafeteria, Chen Xi walked over to the window.

Although he asked her, he clearly wasn’t expecting a reply, for he immediately set off to squeeze into the queue. He made use of his popularity to cut all the way to the front.

Shi Sheng found a spot by the window. Not long after she sat down, Chen Xi walked over with a tray full of food.

“Here you are, your braised pork ribs.”

Qiao Chu really liked the school cafeteria’s braised pork ribs. Shi Sheng wasn’t picky, so she started eating.

“Hey, why’re you so quiet today? Have you fallen out of love?” Chen Xi was unable to stand her silence.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Fallen out of love my arse. I haven’t even found my man yet.’

Though, thinking of Feng Ci got Shi Sheng a bit down. ‘He wasn’t in the last world. I wonder if he’ll be in this one. Who was the final villain of this novel again?’

Shi Sheng tried to recall information about it, but didn’t come up with anything…

‘So there’s hidden information? That means Feng Ci’s here.’

Shi Sheng immediately tried to sense the spirit energy in this world. ‘It’s actually not that weak… How odd.’
