BNR Chapter 28

Winter vacation passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, students were back to school.

Su Yanxi’s mother took her to enroll, while Mu Qi and Hu Ying enrolled themselves. When they came out of the registration office, Su Yanxi happily ran over when she saw Mu Qi and Hu Ying. “Mu Qi, Hu Ying, you’re here too!”

“Yeah, have you enrolled?” Mu Qi couldn’t help but smile when she saw the girl.

“Xixi, are these your classmates?” Su’s mother walked over at this moment, looking at Mu Qi and Hu Ying, especially Mu Qi, feeling a bit familiar.

“Hello, Aunt Su.” Mu Qi and Hu Ying greeted her.

“Oh, hello to you both.” Aunt Su smiled and then asked Mu Qi, “Is your mom Lui Xin?”

Mu Qi had never publicly revealed that her mother was a big star, not even to Su Yanxi. However, Aunt Su figured it out, surprising Mu Qi. She asked, “How did you know…”

Seeing her expression, Aunt Su knew she guessed correctly and laughed, “You and your mom look alike when she was your age.”

Su Yanxi had been watching Mu Qi’s reaction.

“When it comes to your mom, we haven’t seen each other for over ten years. Since our last meeting, I can only see her on TV now.”

“Auntie, you know Mu’s mom?” Hu Ying couldn’t help asking.

Aunt Su said, “Of course, we were college classmates.” When talking about the past when they were roommates, Su’s mother recalled the jokes they made back then. “At that time, Little Xin and I joked that if we both had children, we would arrange an engagement, but unexpectedly, we both had daughters.”

In recent years, with the legalization of same-sex marriage, Aunt Su was even considering whether to reconnect with her old classmate and fulfill their past vow. Unfortunately, she lost contact with Little Xin, and it had been a long time since she saw her.

“By the way, what’s your mom’s phone number? Can you tell Aunt Su? Aunt Su hasn’t seen your mom for a long time and wants to invite her out.” Aunt Su said.

Mu Qi shared her mom’s number with her.

Later, Aunt Su left, leaving only Mu Qi and the other two.

In their senior year, they had a new class, and the homeroom teacher had everyone sit by height first. After the first mock exam, they would be rearranged based on their grades.

Naturally, Su Yanxi and Mu Qi sat separately.

Su Yanxi sat in the second row, and Mu Qi sat in the fifth row, which was also the last row.

Mu Qi was the tallest among the girls and quite noticeable among the boys.

Hu Ying sat in the fourth row, just in front of Mu Qi, so they could still chat sometimes.

Not being able to be desk mates with Mu Qi felt regretful for Su Yanxi. She often sneaked glances back at Mu Qi, and every time, their eyes met.

Mo Qi, with a smile on her lips, watched the girl in front of her. Whenever she caught the girl stealing glances at her, Mo Qi felt good, as if she had applied honey to her mood.

When Hu Ying turned around and saw her seventh brother giving dog-like adoring looks, she couldn’t stand it. She didn’t feel like chatting anymore and turned away in frustration.

She thought to herself, it’s time for her to find a girlfriend too. She’s in her senior year, and it’s time to be carefree.

After school, Mo Qi walked up to Su Yanxi and said, “I’ll take it for you,” holding her school bag.

“I can manage on my own,” Su Yanxi said, holding the bag.

Although it was sweet of Mo Qi to carry the bag for her, the weight of two school bags was still too much. Su Yanxi didn’t want Mo Qi to carry such a heavy load.

Mo Qi looked at the determined expression on the girl holding the bag and reluctantly said, “Alright, just tell me if it’s too heavy.”

“Okay.” Su Yanxi nodded with a smile, and the two of them walked out of the classroom.

Hu Ying, who was ignored the whole time and fed dog food forcibly, sighed, “Should I stop waiting for them to go home by themselves? Getting dog food every day makes me want to fall in love too.”

On the way, Mo Qi and Su Yanxi chatted as they walked. The streetlights illuminated them, creating a warm atmosphere. Unconsciously, Hu Ying, who was following them, looked up at the streetlight and felt like she was just like that ignored light bulb.

A few days later, at the coffee shop.

Liu Xin and Kong Yuxuan sat in a private room without any disturbances.

Two good friends who had been apart for more than ten years finally had the chance to meet.

“Xiao Xin, I never thought that after so many years, you would become a movie star,” Kong Yuxuan happily said. “Back then, when you insisted on becoming a star, I was worried for you.”

Liu Xin smiled and said, “Yes, at that time, I wasn’t confident either. Later, I met Guoqiang…” Her face dimmed when she mentioned it, but she quickly changed the subject, “By the way, how have you all been these years? Is Yanxi in high school now?”

Although Kong Yuxuan noticed the fleeting strangeness in her friend, she didn’t inquire further. She smiled and replied, “Yes, and a couple of days ago, when I went to register, I saw your daughter.”

“Qi Qi?” Recently, things were so hectic that Liu Xin didn’t even have time to go home for the New Year. She occasionally made phone calls, but only now did she realize that her daughter had started school.

“Yes, that day was the first time I found out that our daughters are classmates.” Kong Yuxuan thought of the jokes they used to make with Liu Xin and chuckled. “Now that both of them are so grown up, and same-sex marriage is legal, Xiao Xin, what do you think about arranging a marriage for them?”

“Huh?” Liu Xin was momentarily stunned, not expecting her old classmate to bring up such a sudden topic.

Kong Yuxuan leaned toward her, lowered her voice, and whispered, “I inquired from my daughter. It turns out that my daughter is currently in a relationship with your daughter.” She sat back, smiling, “Isn’t it a coincidence? Back then, we were disappointed that we couldn’t be in-laws because they were both girls. Now, these two girls with fate are together.”

Liu Xin exclaimed in surprise, “My daughter is in a relationship?”

“Yes, with my daughter.” Kong Yuxuan said, “They confirmed their relationship last winter vacation.” She seemed to remember something and chuckled, “No wonder at that time, my daughter always said she was going out to hang out with classmates. I didn’t expect it was actually going on dates.”

Liu Xin hadn’t expected this.

In the two years since her divorce from Guoqiang, the biggest impact had been on her daughter. The once cheerful personality had become silent and even somewhat indifferent. This was the aspect Liu Xin had been worried about.

However, she was afraid of triggering a rebellious mindset, so she never dared to say much to her daughter. Now, hearing about her daughter being in a relationship, the worry that she had been carrying with her finally eased.

During this critical time in their senior year, teachers were usually concerned about students getting into early relationships. Yet, here were two sets of parents, unexpectedly delighted because their children were in love.

Moreover, the two sets of parents were secretly planning an engagement.
