Chapter 601: 600. There is a misunderstanding about the word "friend.

"Hurry up and go, vanish while I’m in a good mood!"

Cheng Ranran, with her little backpack slung over her shoulder, waved them off disdainfully, the gesture full of bold grandeur.

Tang Shu and Ye Xiaohui exchanged a glance and quickly turned to run towards the outside of the teaching building, soon disappearing from everyone’s sight.

When else to flee if not now? This little tyrant usually squeezed them for all they were worth.

Cheng Ranran: "???"

This... wasn’t really necessary.

Emerging from the teaching building, the two of them walked along the Artificial Lake on campus.

Once they passed the long wooden corridor, Tang Shu looked at her.

"When are you going to intern?"

"Next week, I guess. I have to submit my work for the Art Competition first."

Indeed, Ye Xiaohui was one of the five contestants from the capital, and she had easily made it into the third round of the PK match.

Tang Shu nodded; she was already aware of this. Seeing that they had reached the end of Medicinal Garden, she waved at her.

"So, see you next semester?"

"No."

Ye Xiaohui paused, looking at Tang Shu and slowly revealing a meaningful smile.

"I’m going to stick with you."

"...Huh?"

What was this all about?

"As friends, if I’m in trouble, shouldn’t you help me out?"

"Yes, but are you in trouble?"

Tang Shu expressed her skepticism.

Having been close for nearly a year, she understood Ye Xiaohui’s character quite well. In stark contrast to the lively Cheng Ranran, she was an introverted girl with high emotional and intellectual quotients. Whether it was from her usual conversation or the scholarly aura she exuded, she clearly came from a good background with proper upbringing, and such people typically could handle their problems perfectly on their own.

"Let’s hear it."

Suddenly interested, Tang Shu was in no hurry to head to the lab now, folding her arms across her chest as she watched her with leisure.

Ye Xiaohui’s delicate features lit up with a smile again, "I’ve found that each time I read your comments on the association’s official website, I gain a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese painting. For the upcoming competition, I hope you could provide more guidance."

"..."

I know you’re smart, and you can’t hide this from me, but asking a judge to give you special treatment, isn’t that a bit unfair to the other contestants?

However... it’s not exactly against the rules of the competition.

"So, how do you plan to bribe me?"

"Hmm—I thought I was keeping Shushu’s secrets? If Cheng Ranran finds out you’ve been hiding so much from her, do you think that little firecracker would explode from anger and possibly sever ties with you?"

??? What kind of divine friendship is this, and can I opt out, please?

Tang Shu felt she had some misunderstanding about the word "friend."

Still reeling from the shock of being threatened, Ye Xiaohui was already headed for an octagonal pavilion next to Medicinal Garden.

"Oh by the way, I heard you moved? You have a guest room, right?"

"You want to stay at my place too?"

"Yep, the deadline for the third round is approaching fast, I need to speed up, and I have to visit the internship place next week too."

"You’re extorting me, and you plan to do two things with one exchange."

She was using one secret to make her agree to two things, that wasn’t fair.

Tang Shu felt she had underestimated this friend and roommate. When she actually put her mind to work, she was leagues ahead of Cheng Ranran.

As Ye Xiaohui heard this, her steps didn’t slow down, she just pointed towards the lab building across from them.

"What if I add this to the list?"
