Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Chapter 29: He Drank the Bubble Tea I Drank

There were a total of twenty-four cups of bubble tea. Su Huaizhou and Jiang Miao waited for about fifteen minutes.

The bubble tea for Su Huaizhou and Jiang Miao was brought to their seats in advance, and the two enjoyed their drinks.

“Boss, how much is the total? I’ll pay first,” Su Huaizhou asked, suddenly thinking of this in the middle of their conversation. She took out her phone and scanned the QR code.

“Twenty-four cups, a total of 384 yuan.”

“How much is mine?” Su Huaizhou raised the red bean bubble tea in his hand.

“Yours is sixteen yuan.”

“I see~” Su Huaizhou nodded with a smile as her fingers moved on her phone.

Soon, a serious female voice came from the cashier area. “Payment received from Alipay, 368 yuan.”

“?” Jiang Miao was puzzled. “Senior Sister, did you pay less?”

“No.” Su Huaizhou bit her straw and blinked at him with a smile. “Isn’t this one on you, Junior Brother?”

“You’re really squeezing me.” Jiang Miao laughed, not minding. He took out his phone to pay the remaining sixteen yuan. “It’s not a good habit to pay after the fact.”

“Girls are very good at keeping track of accounts,” Su Huaizhou said with a straight face. “I’ve treated you four times, but you’ve only returned the favor twice.”

“Has it really been four times?” Jiang Miao recalled the number of times in the past week and felt it wasn’t that many.

“Of course it has.” Su Huaizhou began counting with her fingers. “Once when school started, once in the office, once after the class meeting, and once on the sports field, exactly four times~”

“Senior Sister, when school started, you offered to treat me as a class assistant. The time in the office was because I helped you. After the class meeting, you wanted to apologize for my pants. As for the time on the sports field…” Jiang Miao counted with his fingers and analyzed seriously before frowning slightly. “Didn’t Senior Sister Qi treat us that time?”

“Uh…” Su Huaizhou was at a loss for words, then immediately became annoyed and stepped on him under the table. “You won’t be able to find a girlfriend like this.”

“It’s precisely because I don’t intend to date you that I’m talking like this.”

“Even if you say that, I won’t be happy.” Su Huaizhou glared at him before turning her head away. “But I’m not interested in you that way either, so let’s call it even.”

“Even if a girl doesn’t like a boy, will she be angry because the boy said to her face he isn’t interested in her?” Jiang Miao suddenly became interested in this topic.

“Isn’t it the same the other way around?” Su Huaizhou thought for a moment. “If a pretty girl says to your face she’s not interested in you, you won’t be happy either.”

Jiang Miao stroked his chin thoughtfully. “So, are you saying I’m handsome?”

“Shameless,” Su Huaizhou scolded jokingly just as the bubble tea was ready. She stood up, patted the table, and instructed, “It’s your turn to play your role. I’ll leave the heavy lifting to you.”

“Senior Sister, please help me hold this.” Jiang Miao handed his cup of red bean bubble tea to her right hand, then picked up the other twenty-two cups of bubble tea and walked out of the shop with her.

Su Huaizhou walked in front with a cup of bubble tea in each hand. She subconsciously took a sip of the bubble tea in her right hand and walked while saying, “If you join the Youth Association, there will be a lot of free boba in the future.”

“I’ll pass. Girls who are good at keeping track of accounts are scary.”

“Junior Brother, it’s not a good habit for boys to be too calculative.”

“Isn’t that a double standard?”

“Hmm?”

…

The two of them bickered all the way back to the Department of Accounting and arrived at the classroom where the Youth Association’s publicity department was recruiting new members.

As soon as they walked in, Su Huaizhou waved at a short-haired girl inside. “Xiaoyun, come here. I bought boba. Please distribute it to everyone.”

The girl named Xiaoyun ran over, took twelve cups of bubble tea from Jiang Miao, and distributed them to the others in the department.

Jiang Miao looked down at the remaining ten cups in his right hand and asked curiously, “Senior Sister, did you buy too many?”

“Nope. There’s still the share for the debate team upstairs,” Su Huaizhou said. “Your Senior Sister Qi asked me to buy them together.”

“Oh.” Jiang Miao nodded and reached out to take his cup of bubble tea from Senior Sister’s hand.

Su Huaizhou subconsciously loosened her right hand and returned the cup to him. But the next second, she was stunned on the spot, and her eyes suddenly widened. “Wait…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Miao had already taken a sip.

“What’s wrong?” He swallowed the bubble tea, looking puzzled. “Did I take the wrong one? I remember mine was in your right hand.”

“N-no… I just remembered wrongly…” Su Huaizhou quickly turned around and walked briskly out of the classroom. “Let’s go upstairs to deliver the boba.”

“Okay.” Jiang Miao followed her while sipping the bubble tea in his hand, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that there seemed to be a little less in his cup. It’s probably just my imagination.

But only Su Huaizhou knew how big the blunder was.

As they walked up the stairs, she kept glancing back. As soon as she saw Jiang Miao’s lips wrapped around the straw, her face turned hot.

The thought that she had drunk from the same cup earlier made her so mortified that she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Fortunately, Junior Brother didn’t notice anything unusual. Otherwise, she might have died on the spot.

It was too embarrassing!

As the two of them continued up the stairs, a familiar voice came from the stairwell on the second floor.

“There shouldn’t be a rule about giving money to good people. If you have the ability, take out a feasible mechanism to distribute money. If you can’t take it out, you’re just engaging in sophistry!”

“Please spare me. Haven’t I already admitted defeat?”

“You’re not even serious! During the free debate, you were just muddling through without any real effort. You didn’t treat this debate seriously at all!”

“The affirmative side of a policy debate is always a disadvantage, especially with such an outlandish hypothetical topic…” Zhao Lu pointed out helplessly while leaning lazily against the wall. “If you insist on questioning the feasibility of policy implementation, no matter what theory or hypothesis the affirmative side presents, it’s bound to have flaws.”

“That’s no excuse for your lackluster approach to the match.” Qi Lianyue crossed her arms and harrumphed coldly, even though she had nothing to hold.

“Yes, yes, my dear secretary. I promise to be serious next time,” Zhao Lu said with a smile. “Can you let me go now?”

“We’re in the debate team now. Please call me vice-captain.” Qi Lianyue frowned. “Also, you’re the captain. Please act like one.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhao Lu nodded perfunctorily. At a glance, he saw Su Huaizhou walking up the stairs. His eyes lit up, and he quickly waved. “Sister Zhou! Can you quickly take your Yueyue away?”

“Why are you calling Zhouzhou sister? Why don’t you call me sister?”

“Well…” Zhao Lu raised his hand and gestured to Qi Lianyue’s head before moving it down to his chest. “It’s hard to call you that, right?”

“Go to hell!” Qi Lianyue finally lost her temper, stomped on his foot, and stormed back to the classroom.

“You two are still the same as ever.” Su Huaizhou laughed, enjoying the good show.

“Being captain is such a tough job…” Zhao Lu yawned and smiled helplessly at Su Huaizhou before following her to the classroom. “If only our vice-captains could be a bit gentler…”
