My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 169

Rongrong was slowly organizing test papers when she heard a crisp female voice next to her ear.

"Little classmate Rongrong, the organization is here to send you warmth!"

The newly appointed group leader was very enthusiastic, "Just let us know if those things need to be moved."

Shi Li patted Fu Huixing's arm, "I've brought free labor to do the work."

Though it was just a brief touch, with the fabric of the white T-shirt in between, it made someone freeze in place.

Rongrong naturally didn't miss someone's unimpressive reaction. She didn't refuse Shi Li's goodwill, "Thank you then, everything on the podium can be moved upstairs."

"Alright!"

Shi Li wasn't the type to follow Fu Huixing's suggestion of only picking up light things to move. She wasn't the kind of person who liked to slack off.

Shi Li picked up a stack of books from the podium, intending to carry them herself. However, Fu Huixing naturally took them into his own hands, as if her purpose had been to hand the books to him.

She couldn't exactly fight with him over a stack of books on the podium.

So Shi Li placed light but space-consuming items like an empty water bottle and pencil case on top of the books in his arms. Taking advantage of the fact that he had no more space in his hands, Shi Li tucked a stack of books under her arm and pushed Fu Huixing towards the classroom door.

A fire ignited on his back, and Fu Huixing's brain forgot how to think. He just followed Shi Li's movement out of the classroom until they entered the new classroom, where his brain finally emerged from its dazed state.

With Shi Li and Fu Huixing's help, the three of them moving things together greatly improved work efficiency.

Qiao Jingjia finished moving all the books and personal items, and sat down at his desk wanting to take a break, only to find that the others in the same group had already finished everything.

Only Shi Li's progress bar was a little slower, as she was arranging some small figurines on her desk, trying to set them up in a way she liked.

Qiao Jingjia's gaze lingered on the figurines. Due to the intensity of his stare, Shi Li turned back and saw him, suddenly realizing, [Oh no, I forgot our group has four people. We didn't help him move his things. He's a boy, he should be more magnanimous and not mind such small matters, right?]

Qiao Jingjia held back tears: ...Yes, I'm magnanimous. I won't mind.

After the whole class finished tidying up, the homeroom teacher gave a series of reminders about things to pay attention to during summer break, and finally waved his hand, announcing they could leave.

Shi Li turned back to look at her group members, "Shall we go out for a meal together as a group?"

Chinese people like to deepen relationships over meals, and Shi Li was no exception.

The others had no objections.

The driver coming to pick up Shi Li was already waiting outside the school. With four people in the group, they fit perfectly in one car, so there was no need to take a taxi when they had a free ride.

On the way from the classroom to outside the school, they had already discussed what to eat this time.

Summer is the season for barbecue.

In a group of four, three were quiet types. Shi Li, though rich in inner monologue, wasn't a talkative personality either, but was forced to speak more to adjust the atmosphere due to the other three.

Fortunately, although the other three in the group were quiet, they were quite accommodating to her, and there were no situations where they deliberately ignored her.

The destination was a large outdoor restaurant three kilometers from school, recommended by Fu Huixing, who said the taste was quite good.

Half of the seats at the outdoor restaurant were already filled. Industrial fans blew the aroma of grilled skewers far and wide. They could smell it from quite a distance as soon as they got out of the car.

They had eaten a lot at lunch, including hot pot, milk tea, and cream cake.

Logically, they shouldn't be hungry now, but after running up and down moving things in the afternoon, coupled with young people's fast metabolism, upon smelling the aroma of grilled skewers, they felt they could eat a whole cow.

"Do you come to this restaurant often?"

Fu Huixing nodded, and the next moment the menu was handed to him. "You must know what's good here, why don't you recommend some dishes?"

He didn't decline. After asking about the dietary restrictions and preferences of the three at the table, he picked up a pencil and carefully marked items on the menu.

The restaurant Fu Huixing recommended, and the dishes he ordered, were really quite delicious.

Shi Li and Qiao Jingjia both gave a thumbs up, "Delicious!"

Summer days get dark late, so it was still light out after they finished eating the barbecue.

Shi Li took the menu to go pay, but Qiao Jingjia snatched it from her, "Let me, let me. My dad is about to divorce my stepmom, consider this me treating everyone to a celebratory meal."

It was the first time they'd heard of a celebratory meal for a divorce.

Shi Li froze not because of the divorce celebration, but because she remembered something.

Qiao Jingjia had been classmates with Shi Li for three years in her previous life. When he mentioned the divorce, Shi Li recalled something.

[But, Qiao Jingjia's dad divorced the wife he married later to avoid debt collectors. When they divorced, he divided all the property to give to his later wife.]

Qiao Jingjia, who had taken out his phone to pay: ...Damn it.

[As a result, not long after the divorce, Qiao Jingjia's father died in a car accident.]

Qiao Jingjia: ...Damn it all to hell.
