He shook his head, and from the corner of his eye saw Yang Bing sneakily looking at him.
Ji Zhiyao was startled.
"What are you doing?"
Yang Bing asked softly, "Who are you calling? It can't be your 'family', right?"
Seeing Yang Bing grinning and winking, Ji Zhiyao felt upset for some reason, arching his brows."It was family, what's up?"
Yang Bing didn't catch that there was something wrong with his tone, directly becoming embarrassed."Nothing much, just... Xing Chuxue and I are planning to treat you guys to a meal, the night of the day after tomorrow. If it's convenient, bring your 'family member' along."
Ji Zhiyao was dazed.
Ning Lichao who was lying on the bed poked his head out with a shocked expression as did Wen Heng, who was currently in a ranked match.
"Hehehe it's nothing too long before, we just got together two days ago. You guys don't go around spreading it yeah, the lady is shy.
"Treating you guys to a meal this time, was even initiated by her. I really like her so much, she's really so virtuous, so gentle, " Yang Bing chuckled.
"Do you guys want to prepare some gifts or what for the first meeting for my lady?"
Ji Zhiyao was made speechless.
He rolled his eyes several times at Yang Bing, together with two puking sounds.
Nevertheless, Yang Bing was very satisfied with the result of his show of affection, grinning and wasn't angry at all.
The bit of discomfort peeped up at the bottom of Ji Zhiyao's heart instantly disappeared, saying, "The night of the day after tomorrow is it, let me apply for leave from the team. By the way, what does your girlfriend like?"
Yang Bing looked alert."What are you secretly inquiring after this for?"
"Weren't you talking about a gift? I don't know how to pick stuff for girls." Ji Zhiyao was speechless once again.
"I just casually said it. If you want to take it seriously you can too, just buy whatever is expensive."
"Get lost get lost get lost!"
Yang Bing indeed turned around and went to exaggeratedly describe his romantic history with Xing Chuxue to Wen Heng and Ning Lichao.
Ji Zhiyao gave it a thought and felt that as Yang Bing's best friend, it was indeed only right that he gave this gift, nothing wrong with that. He sent a WeChat text to Ji Qingge, asking what girls generally like, then entered Mix battleteam's group chat.
[MelonRind: I have an important piece of information!]
Nobody was training, so new replies came very quickly.
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: Quickly hand it forward!]
[Heng: Speak human language, what civilized person are you pretending to be. ]
[MelonRind: I have to go the base later on Wednesday [covers face] my dorm mate found a girlfriend, wants to treat us to a meal. ]
[Xiao: You guys haven't started school for long yeah, this little fellow is really quick. NoHomo you should learn from him. ]
[KisExtremelyHandsome: Hold on, calling out to Captain for you. ]
[KisExtremelyHandsome: Captain has given his approval. But he said to get you to bring back 100 sticks of barbecued skewers, add chilli and cumin. ]
[MelonRind: Is that enough?]
[KisExtremelyHandsome: Hold on yeah, let me think of what else to add. ]
[DB. MHF: Cooking up a story behind my back, you think I don't have a phone?]
[DB. MHF: Come solo in a while. @KisExtremelyHandsome]
[KisExtremelyHandsome: Captain, I was wrong! Begging for no bullying, begging to be loved once more! [bawling] ]
[DB. MHF: Too late. ]
[DB. MHF: @Xiao We haven't played for the national qualifiers and you're instigating your teammate to seek other pleasures that will affect his goal, are you living life too comfortably these days?]
[Xiao: Captain, this idiom isn't used like this. ]
[MelonRind: Yus!]
[MelonRind: Now all I want is to be the champion of the national qualifiers, then carry the champion trophy of the international league back. No expectations for anything else. ]
[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: Pukes. ]
[Xiao: Pukes. ]
[KisExtremelyHandsome: Pukes. ]
[Xiaofeifeifeifei: Though I don't know what happened, but still... pukes. ]
[ManagerYuanWei: Although such spirit is worthy of praise but which hot-blooded big boy wouldn't want to find a girlfriend? MelonRind do you like boys?]
[MelonRind: Will my salary be deducted if I curse at someone?]
[DB. MHF: It's fine if you curse at Yuan Wei. ]
[ManagerYuanWei:?]
[MelonRind: Okay. ]
[MelonRind: @ManagerYuanWei: [smiley] [smiley] F*ck you! Did you hear that? F*ck you!]
Ji Zhiyao blankly threw his phone down, laughing coldly.
...
In a blink of an eye it was Wednesday.
The election of the class committee happened to be this afternoon, everyone in 1306 didn't want to be part of the committee, hence they filled in their voting ticket beforehand and got someone else to help hand it in, then slipped away.
Outside the classroom, a girl in a white long dress was waiting for someone. Yang Bing rushed over at once, smiling goofily at the girl.
Ji Zhiyao was sure then that he had recognized wrongly, this was Xing Chuxue.
Seeing Yang Bing's innocent manner that he didn't even know where to place his hands, Ji Zhiyao coughed once, tempted to laugh.
"Um, Chu Xue, these three are my dorm mates. That night Old Ji almost knocked you down, at that time all of us were present, you still remember?"
Xing Chuxue nodded, two specks of red on her cheeks as she said shyly, "Mm."
"Let us head to the dining place first, we can chat later." With that, Yang Bing pulled out a sunshade umbrella from his bag, shielding the dainty Xing Chuxue securely, not getting one bit of the sun.
The other three all appeared speechless, very sensibly falling behind by a few steps, walking in a row at the back, refusing to move closer to the front to watch their PDA 1.
The place Yang Bing picked was a restaurant selling Sichuan cuisine outside of S University, the place was very clean, good food in big portions, prices were reasonable too.
Five of them took their seats, very orderly, everyone picked two dishes that they liked and chatted while waiting.
Wen Heng was always a man of few words in front of outsiders and Ning Lichao was simple and honest, not good at making conversation. Thus, after awkwardly seating for a minute, the responsibility of initiating a conversation was placed in Ji Zhiyao's hands through Yang Bing's sideways glances and winks.
Ji Zhiyao was very helpless. He wasn't used to speaking to people that he wasn't familiar with, yet his other two roommates were too clueless, it wasn't nice to really leave Yang Bing and Xing Chuxue hanging there.
The gift that Ji Qingge had helped to prepare came to his mind, grabbing his bag, he picked up a small bag with a lipstick inside."Um, Xing Chuxue, this is from the three of us. Yang Bing is quite careless, if there are places where he hasn't done well, do bear with him."
He pushed the bag towards Yang Bing's side, seeing Xing Chuxue open her mouth, as if about to reject, he added, "No need to be shy."
Yang Bing happily received the bag."Of course not, of course not, we're all one family."
Ji Zhiyao stared at him for two seconds."..."
Xing Chuxue accepted the bag slightly hesitantly, her eyes knowingly or unknowingly swept past Ji Zhiyao, her voice very soft."Thank you guys."
Just then the dishes were served in a row, Ji Zhiyao sighed in relief deep down.
Digging in, nobody spoke again.
The three single males were the first to finish, silently watching Yang Bing's concern and attention for Xing Chuxue opposite them, seeming like he wished to personally feed her even if it was just a mouthful of water.
Watching them be lovey-dovey for twenty over minutes, Wen Heng with a cold expression, dragged Yang Bing to the washroom to educate him. Three people remained at the table, Ji Zhiyao and Ning Lichao bowed their heads and played with their phones to avoid being awkward.
Not long after, Xing Chuxue spoke up weakly, "Ji Zhiyao, can I add you on WeChat?"
