Chapter 4739: Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (69)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As for why Huo Siqian gave her shoes— she assumed it was because every time they met, Huo Siqian only saw her wearing those 69 yuan shoes.

He must have bought them because her’s looked a little shabby, right?

Huo Mian wasn’t that arrogant. As long as it was beneficial to her and didn’t violate her principles, she would accept it.

Huo Siqian bought all of these things that her family could use.

Therefore, Huo Mian calmly persuaded her mother to put it away.

She even tried the size of the thermal innerwear. It really fitted well.

However, Huo Mian didn’t wear those shoes.

She always felt that it was not a good sign for a boy to give a girl a pair of shoes for no reason.

So she quietly put the pair in a corner and sealed it. She didn’t wear it, but she didn’t throw it away either.

After dinner, Zhixin went to do his homework.

After taking a quick shower, Huo Mian went back to her room.

Then she picked up a novel and read it with relish.

At this moment, her cell phone rang.

It was a call from Qin Chu. Back then, cell phones weren’t widely used in the country.

Everyone’s phones were not smartphones yet.

Furthermore, the phone bill was actually quite expensive. Even if it was a phone call in the city, it would cost 20 cents a minute.

Huo Mian was basically the type of person who only picked up and never called. Sometimes, her heart would ache when she had to text back too many times.

After all, it was a single cent per text message. It wasn’t like now where they could just casually use WeChat.

Huo Mian picked up the phone nervously, her heart racing.

“Hello?” Sure enough, she was pretending to be calm when she answered the call.

“Have you told your mother about that matter?”

“Ah… I forgot.”

She didn’t do it on purpose; she really forgot about it. It was all because of Huo Siqian and Jiang Hong.

“Then tell her now.”

“You’re not kidding right?”

“Of course.”

“Will we be back in two days?” Huo Mian was worried.

“We will go on Friday and return on Sunday just in time. Why? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to finish your homework?”

“If there’s a lot, I definitely can’t finish.”

“I can do it for you.”

“What?” Huo Mian thought she heard wrong. Qin Chu said he was going to help her with her homework.

“What about you?” Huo Mian wondered if he was going to finish both of their homework alone.

To her surprise, Qin Chu said faintly, “I don’t have to do mine.”

“You win…” Huo Mian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“If you feel uncomfortable, we can ask Gao Ran and Zhu Lingling to come along,” Qin Chu reminded.

Huo Mian was embarrassed by Qin Chu’s reminder.

After all, he sounded like she didn’t trust him.

“Forget it, Lingling is going to the outdoor field trip.”

“She’s your best friend, why didn’t she reject Liu Siying?” Qin Chu wasn’t happy with Zhu Lingling’s participation.

“With that temper of hers, she just wants to pick a fight with Liu Siying… I told her not to go, but she wouldn’t listen. She’s getting really hot-tempered lately.”

Of course, Zhu Lingling had to take care of Huo Mian’s emotions. However, she wasn’t just going to take advantage by going on the field trip.

“I see.” Qin Chu finally understood Zhu Lingling’s intentions; she was indeed a weirdo.

“Then go and tell auntie that our company’s car will take us there after school on Friday.”

“Okay, I’ll go talk to her first. I think my mom… will allow.”

Huo Mian was at a loss. She didn’t like to lie, but this time, she had to lie. After all, she couldn’t tell her mother that she was going on an outing with a male classmate.

If her mother heard this, wouldn’t she go crazy?
