Chapter 246: Chapter 247 Can’t Squeeze In_1 Chapter 246: Chapter 247 Can’t Squeeze In_1 Weini glanced at the time and hurriedly urged Qiao Xiaren to go take her exam.
“Oh right, take this with you.” Weini suddenly gave her a mischievous look, shoving something into her hand.
It was bulky but tightly wrapped.
“What’s this?” Qiao Xiaren raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Weini. “Did you buy something indecent and are trying to get me to hide it for you? You’ve been off gallivanting somewhere, haven’t you?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve been so busy with work recently, where would I find time to goof off?” Weini rolled her eyes, sounding a tad defensive. “This is from Si Limo. It’s all sweet and spicy snacks–he said that girls should love them. It’s for your trip, which may take over two hours, to kill boredom.”
“From Si Limo?” Qiao Xiaren found herself hearing that name rather frequently recently. Bumping into him at the company was happening more often too. This man seemed to be omnipresent.
“Yeah, Si Limo mentioned that he’ll pick you up later.” said Weini, raising an embellished fingernail. “When did you two start this? I’ve never seen him show interest in anyone in all my years at SGS. Are you secretly seeing him behind my back?”
“He may want to secretly date me, but that depends on whether I am willing.”
“Oh… well, you have a point.”
The relentless pursuit of Si Limo was indeed suffocating. Qiao Xiaren felt a headache coming on. There were so many work commitments lately, leaving her no energy to deal with this man. Did he calculate the timing on purpose?
“Little Xiaran, I think you may want to give Si Limo a chance. Don’t play too hard to get!” Weini jested, a teasing grin on her face. “You should see how hilarious it is when he’s lit up–like a starving beast watching a piece of dessert, scared someone may take you away yet not willing to gobble you up at once.”
Qiao Xiaren tightened her grip on her bag, staring back at Weini. “Weini, if you keep going , I’ll sincerely think you’ve been bought over by him.”
“Alright, alright, off to your exam now.” Weini, having been exposed, looked slightly embarrassed and sent Qiao Xiaren out the door. Qiao Xiaren slung her bag over her shoulder, with a lively ponytail, her youthfulness shining through.
After getting off the car, Qiao Xiaren headed straight to Capital Middle School’s gate. The gate was filled with students and their parents. Despite getting numerous curious and envious glances, no one stood around to spectate.
However, there were paparazzi staked out early. Seeing Qiao Xiaren, they surged up like dogs seeing bones. Weini, who had expected a commotion today, arranged for two bodyguards to get out of the car, attempting to hold back these rabid reporters.
“Miss Qiao, do you feel confident about this exam? It has been said that you’ve lost many opportunities to study due to filming, and many are pessimistic about your academic performance. What’s your response?”
“Miss Qiao, are you confident of getting into the Film Academy?”
To Weini and Qiao Xiaren’s surprise, there were quite a few fanatical fans at the gate. Instead of rushing forward or demonstrating extreme excitement, they formed tight circles around Qiao Xiaren.
And so, the tragedy of the paparazzi began–
The complaining voices of the reporters echoed through the crowd.
“Why can’t we squeeze in?”
“Goodness, these fans have created a human wall! We can’t even get through!”
“Damn it! We can’t squeeze through at all. These fans are insane!”
