Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Fang Xiaocao: 6

Hospital ward!

Zhi Qi sat in front of the bed, locked eyes with Fang Xiaocao, while Su Wanqing, Yun Luoshu, and Wen Shi each sat on their respective beds, curiously watching the two.

The atmosphere in the ward was somewhat off!

The three stooges had sensed it too.

Fang Xiaocao glared at Zhi Qi, looking all puffed up with anger, while Zhi Qi sat there composedly, confronting Fang Xiaocao’s angry gaze with indifference.

Su Wanqing blinked at Fang Xiaocao, signaling her to stay calm.

Fang Xiaocao shot Su Wanqing a look but remained like an angry pufferfish.

“Zhi Qi!”

Fang Xiaocao raised her voice and yelled.

“Shush!”

“This is a hospital, keep it quiet.”

Zhi Qi made a shushing gesture, smiling.

Fang Xiaocao: …

“Don’t you go too far!”

Fang Xiaocao puffed up and shouted.

“Shush!”

“Keep it quiet!”

Zhi Qi repeated the same gesture.

Fang Xiaocao: …

Completely speechless, this woman just wouldn’t argue with her.

“You win…”

Fang Xiaocao said helplessly.

“When are we leaving.”

Fang Xiaocao asked weakly.

“Yay–”

The three stooges cheered.

Fang Xiaocao had agreed, and the happiest weren’t Zhi Qi but the three stooges munching on melons at the back.

Hearing the cheers of the three stooges, Fang Xiaocao glared at them fiercely.

Frightened by her glare, the three stooges instantly fell silent.

“Tomorrow!”

Zhi Qi said, smiling.

“At what time?”

Fang Xiaocao asked as she rolled her eyes.

“Nine in the morning, I’ll come to pick you four up.”

Zhi Qi raised her eyebrows and answered with a smile.

“Get lost!”

Fang Xiaocao pointed toward the door of the ward and said.

“Disappear from my sight right now, immediately, before I change my mind.”

Fang Xiaocao said each word deliberately.

“Alright, alright, can’t I just leave?”

Zhi Qi surrendered with her hands up, laughing as she headed towards the exit of the ward.

“Hurry up!”

Fang Xiaocao commanded, puffing up her little face.

“OK, OK–”

“Right now, immediately!”

Zhi Qi went on laughing as she walked out of the ward, and thoughtfully closed the door for Fang Xiaocao and the others.

“You guys are still laughing?”

Fang Xiaocao glared at the three stooges.

“Hehe–”

The three stooges responded with goofy smiles.

“I’ll give you something to laugh about!”

Fang Xiaocao grabbed a pillow and lunged at the adjacent bed’s Su Wanqing.

“I’ll give you something to laugh about!”

“I’ll give you something to bet on!”

“I’ll give you something to agree for me!”

Fang Xiaocao vented all her anger on Su Wanqing alone.

Yun Luoshu and Wen Shi, the two fools, were cracking melon seeds intently while watching Fang Xiaocao’s big battle with Husky.

“My bad–”

“Ouch, I was wrong–”

Being “violently beaten” by Fang Xiaocao, Su Wanqing kept begging for mercy.

“Hmph!”

Fang Xiaocao huffed indignantly.

“You two, still laughing?”

Fang Xiaocao glared at the two fools and yelled.

Yun Luoshu and Wen Shi immediately covered their mouths.

“We’re not laughing anymore, we stopped.”

Yun Luoshu and Wen Shi said, shaking their heads.

“You three just sold me out like that?”

Fang Xiaocao placed her hands on her hips and angrily interrogated.

“Oh come on, it’s not that we aren’t friends.”

“It’s just that Zhi Qi offered too much!”

Wen Shi blinked, laughing as he spoke.

“Exactly–”

“Besides, it’s not like it’s a real betrayal, right.”

Su Wanqing said cheerfully.

“Exactly, exactly!”

Yun Luoshu nodded in agreement.

Fang Xiaocao was driven crazy by anger.

The three stooges had actually agreed to Zhi Qi’s invitation to go out behind her back.

Of course, it was just a travel plan, so Fang Xiaocao wasn’t freaking out.

What made Fang Xiaocao freak out was that the three stooges were bought off by Zhi Qi over this travel plan, and told Zhi Qi all about the embarrassing things she had done since starting university, all in painstaking detail.

Even the embarrassing incident of crying because a plastic bag outside the window scared her during a midnight bathroom run was narrated with vivid detail.

This directly resulted in Fang Xiaocao, upon her return, socially ‘dying’ on the spot under Zhi Qi’s amused gaze.

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed, “Bad company corrupts good character!”

Sold out by her three treacherous friends.

Thinking back to the WeChat chat last night, where she had just established a persona of a high-IQ, talented young lady with Zhi Qi, and how it had collapsed spectacularly within 24 hours because of her friends’ betrayal, Fang Xiaocao felt like she had socially ‘died’.

Especially when facing Zhi Qi’s mocking smirk, Fang Xiaocao awkwardly ‘dug a Forty-Nine City’ with her toe.

She had never been more embarrassed…

That’s why Fang Xiaocao was so furious!

The next day!

Fang Xiaocao, sound asleep, was awakened by the noisy chatter of the three stooges.

Fang Xiaocao sat up groggily and checked the time on her phone.

Early morning: 06:25!

She rubbed her eyes and looked again.

Fang Xiaocao flopped back onto the hospital bed, feeling lifeless.

“You three have had enough!”

“Not sleeping, what are you fussing about?”

Fang Xiaocao called out weakly.

“What sleep? Wake up, get up!”

Su Wanqing shouted boisterously.

“Get up, my foot!”

“Big sister, we agreed on nine o’clock!”

“It’s not even six-thirty yet.”

Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes and complained.

“We know it’s supposed to be at nine!”

“But you have to drive us to school to get our luggage.”

Su Wanqing said cheerily.

“Huh?” @@novelbin@@

“Isn’t it just for one day?”

“What clothes to take?”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao paused, confused.

At this moment, Fang Xiaocao had a bad feeling.

“Who told you it’s for one day?”

“It’s for seven days!”

“Do you think our friendship is only worth one day?”

Su Wanqing said matter-of-factly.

“Wang Defa?”

“Seven days!”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

“Yeah, seven days!”

Wen Shi nodded and said.

“You’re not going to school anymore?”

Fang Xiaocao sat up from the hospital bed in one swift movement.

“Medical leave has been arranged in advance, what is there to worry about?”

Su Wanqing countered.

“Not that…”

“Aren’t you afraid of failing?”

Fang Xiaocao blinked, shocked.

“Afraid of what?”

“Anyway, we’re art students.”

“At worst, we’ll catch up when we get back.”

Su Wanqing said nonchalantly.

“Cultural subjects can be made up for, but camping trips aren’t common.”

Wen Shi added helpfully.

Fang Xiaocao stared at the three in disbelief, utterly shocked.

“Hurry up and get up, go and grab a couple of clothes too.”

Su Wanqing urged.

“Not that…”

“Are you serious?”

Fang Xiaocao asked again, dumbfounded.

“Of course we’re serious!”

Su Wanqing nodded affirmatively.

Fang Xiaocao: “6!”

As for studying, Fang Xiaocao wasn’t worried.

She had always been top of the class, so failing was out of the question.

But as for the three stooges, that’s a different story.

When they didn’t skip classes, stuck to the lectures, and played their cards right, they could barely keep up with the cultural subjects.

If they were to take medical leave like this…

Falling behind by ten days or so would certainly result in failing, no question about it.

“Surely we haven’t come to that?”

“I could take you out during the holidays too!”

“There’s no need to joke about our studies!”

Fang Xiaocao said weakly.

“Stop fussing, get out of bed!”

Su Wanqing said, hands on her hips, staring at Fang Xiaocao.

“Just missing a few classes, we can catch up in a few days when we get back, don’t spoil the fun~”

Wen Shi also chimed in from the side.

Fang Xiaocao: “6!”
