The principal and the homeroom teacher didn’t stay long, after sitting in the house for about half an hour, they brought up leaving, and Shen Mianmian was just about to go out, so she conveniently escorted the three of them to the entrance of the housing complex.
"Mianmian, where are you going next? I’ll go with you to have some fun." After the college entrance exam, Yang Xiaoxi became like a wild horse freed from its reins, having unleashed herself long ago. During this time, she hopped around the city visiting relatives and never had a moment of downtime.
Had she known the address of Shen Mianmian’s home, she would have been there to hang out with Shen Mianmian sooner.
"Sure!" Shen Mianmian nodded in agreement.
"Don’t stay out too late, come back early." Principal Yang was in a good mood and casually reminded her before he left with the homeroom teacher.
Shen Mianmian took Yang Xiaoxi to the grocery store, and upon learning that it was Shen Mianmian’s store, Yang Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in astonishment, accusing Shen Mianmian of being too secretive for not telling her she was a store owner.
In the whole school, no one was richer than Shen Mianmian.
Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Xiaoxi, wait here for a bit, I’ll be out for a moment. When I come back, I’ll treat you to a meal. I’m in a good mood today, so let’s go dine out and watch a movie. Xiaocui and Zhang Qian, tidy up the store a bit, we’ll close up when I return."
"Hooray!" Yang Xiaoxi jumped up happily. "I didn’t bring any money when I came out today; you’re treating."
Judging from the half hour she had been there, Shen Mianmian’s daily income was substantial. Treating her to a movie was definitely not a problem.
"No problem." Shen Mianmian agreed with a smile.
Xiaocui and Zhang Qian were already thrilled to hear that Shen Mianmian had scored first in the province, and when they heard they’d have the afternoon off, they couldn’t close their beaming mouths.
Shen Mianmian made a visit to the Li Family. Li Julin hadn’t returned home yet, but Xiu Min had already heard about Shen Mianmian’s first-place achievement in the province.
"Your Uncle Li called me this morning to say you scored first in the province. He’s busy at the school and can’t come back for now. He guessed you would definitely come over to tell us and asked me to buy more groceries so that we could all celebrate together."
"Aunt Xiu, I’ve made plans with a classmate today, and Uncle Li is also quite busy. Let’s celebrate together tomorrow?" Shen Mianmian considered Xiu Min as family, which is why she spoke plainly without any formality.
"Okay, you young people go out and have fun!" Xiu Min understood that it was natural for Shen Mianmian, having done so well, to want to hang out with peers, and she could appreciate that, so she didn’t press them to stay.
Back at the store, Dajun and Du Xiaohui also returned. Although Du Xiaohui had not been admitted to Beijing School, he scored well enough to gain entrance to his school of choice, so he was also in good spirits.
Among the group, Dajun was the oldest, and he was too embarrassed to go out with them, but he couldn’t resist their persuasion.
Shen Mianmian took them to a newly opened restaurant nearby for a big meal, then they headed to the cinema. Du Xiaohui wanted to watch a comedy, while Yang Xiaoxi wanted to see a horror movie. Newest update provıded by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
The two of them argued heatedly over it.
"A girl wanting to watch horror? Isn’t it better to watch a comedy? All three of us did well on our exams; watching a comedy would cheer us up," argued Du Xiaohui, who, during the three years of high school, often felt overshadowed by Yang Xiaoxi. Her father was the principal, and although Lu Siyuan wasn’t afraid, he was a bit apprehensive. Now that they had graduated, watching a movie was his last stand of dignity.
"This horror movie has its funny parts too, not all of it is scary. Besides, who said girls can’t watch horror movies?" She insisted on watching the horror movie.
