The three girls came out of the restaurant and said goodbye to each other.

Su Xing was preparing to take the subway back to Haidian District. Qu Ying and Yao Jiani were both students at the Central Academy of Drama. Yao Jiani had a property near the school and usually lived there alone.

These two people are on the same route.

Yao Jiani raised her chin habitually and said to Qu Ying: "Come with me."

After a pause, she added, "It's just on the way."

"Eh?" Qu Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and she said, "Thank you, but no thanks. I'm going to see a friend later, so I won't be going back to school yet."

This was of course an excuse. She just felt that she was not very familiar with Yao Jiani, and without Su Xing in between, it would be awkward for the two of them to get along in a closed space.

In fact, the main reason is: she doesn't want to keep supporting this wealthy lady with a weird personality.

Yao Jiani is not stupid, so how could she not hear Qu Ying's rejection and perfunctory response?

"Tsk!" She pouted, "Do you think I like being your driver? Goodbye!"

She emphasized the last two words. Those who could become friends with Su Xing were indeed the same as that guy. They were not likable!

Su Xing and Qu Ying waved to Yao Jiani in unison, "Bye."

Yao Jiani turned around like a little puffer fish, got into the car, started the car quickly and drove away.

Su Xing, Qu Ying: "..."

It turns out that the exhaust of luxury cars also smells bad...

The two walked together to a nearby subway station and boarded subways heading in different directions.

……

Su Xing returned to Haidian District, but did not go back to school immediately. Instead, he went to visit Mrs. Qiao at her home first.

Mrs. Qiao was very happy to see Su wake up. "Little Su is here. Have you eaten? There are dumplings in the kitchen. They are still hot. If they are not enough, grandma will make you some noodles."

The dumplings were made by the housekeeper, who had just left after finishing her work.

Su Xing said, "Grandma Qiao, I've had dinner with my friends and I'm quite full. Please stop working."

Actually she wasn't very full after dinner, so she ate two more burgers after coming out of the subway station. Now she's not really that hungry.

Old Mrs. Qiao knew that Su Xing would not pretend in front of her, so she stopped trying.

“How are you feeling today?”

"Very well, my body feels more relaxed day by day, and I don't feel the stuffiness in my heart anymore."

"That's great. It won't be long before your body fully recovers."

After the two chatted for a while, Su Xing brought the topic back to the point.

"Granny Qiao, actually, I went to rent a theater with two friends from the Central Academy of Drama today."

"What?" Mrs. Qiao was a little slow to react and asked subconsciously, "What venue?"

"That's right. I rented a theater's performance hall. You can go on stage with Grandma Fang and those grandparents of Sunset Red to perform."

Old Mrs. Qiao opened her mouth slightly, widened her eyes, and was stunned for a moment before she understood what Su Xing was talking about.

"You...you girl, what are you doing?"

She raised her voice, her voice trembling slightly, and while speaking she stretched out a dry hand and touched Su Xing's forehead.

Is the child having a fever? Or is he just too rich to spend his money?

Su Xing held Mrs. Qiao's hand, smiled and comforted her, "Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to draw comics related to opera? In fact, not only comics, I also want to make a related video. This time I will try it out with Pingju Opera. Grandma Qiao, you can just help me complete this social practice project, okay?"

Old Mrs. Qiao had heard Su Xing talk about drawing comics and learning opera knowledge from her before, but...is it really what this girl said about renting a theater this time?

She's already lived to such an old age, how could she not see through some things?

Xiao Su has asked her several times during this period whether she wanted to perform on stage again.

She herself missed the stage, and it was obvious in front of this girl...

Old Mrs. Qiao held Su Xing's hand with her backhand and patted the back of her hand with her other hand. "I and those old guys are all old. Why should we go on stage? We all have old faces and old bones. Who would want to see us? Girl, be obedient. Let's not rent that theater anymore."

"I paid most of the deposit, it's non-refundable."

"Ah?" Mrs. Qiao's eyes widened even more. "How can you pay so easily, kid? How much? Grandma will make up for it for you."

"It's not much money. I know the grandchildren of the theater owner, and they gave me a big discount. You don't have to worry about the audience. I have a lot of fans on Weibo, and I've told my friends about the performance. If you and Grandma Fang don't go, not only will you waste the deposit, but my theme comics and videos won't be realized, and I'll lose trust with my friends."

Old Mrs. Qiao said doubtfully, "Are you serious, or are you kidding me?"

Su Xing's face was filled with the words "I am the most sincere" and he nodded and said, "Really, Grandma Qiao, when have I ever lied to you?"

"..." Old Mrs. Qiao stared at Su Xing's handsome face for a long time, then sighed and said, "Ah... girl, let me think about it and discuss it with your grandmother Fang..."

"Okay, then you can discuss it with Grandma Fang. And Grandma Li, I think she also wants a real chance to perform on stage."

Old Mrs. Qiao: “…you girl.”

She felt a sour and swollen feeling in her heart, and it was hard to describe how she felt at the moment.

Su Xing decided to give Grandma Qiao, Grandma Fang and the others a few days to think about it.

……

Thursday afternoon.

After class, Su Xing went to pick up a courier box from his boss.

As soon as she saw the shipping address, she knew who the express was from.

She carried the big box and walked towards Dormitory 306 under the gaze of some students around her.

Gao Yang was the first to return to the dormitory, and was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out.

When she heard the door open, she looked out, but didn't see anyone. Instead, she saw a big box coming in.

Gao Yang turned over and sat up from the bed, "Hey? What the hell are you holding?"

Su Xing hooked the door with his foot, put the box on the ground, and smiled at Gao Yang, "Guess."

"Could it be...? Open it and take a look!"

Gao Yang took a wallpaper knife and walked over quickly.

The two of them opened the box swiftly.

There were also some flat square boxes stacked inside the box, with the "Qingluan" logo on them.

"Hey!" Gao Yang's eyes sparkled, "Sure enough, they are the Hanfu we customized. Your friend is really reliable. The second child's birthday is in two days."

Su Xing laughed, "If she can't do it, she won't agree."

Her former cousin-in-law has always been a trustworthy person.

Just then, the dormitory door opened again and Pei Shiqi walked in.

"What are you doing? Huh?" She paused for a moment when she saw something on the ground, and asked in surprise: "Is it Hanfu? I thought it should arrive in the next two days."
