BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113
Su Qiuge thought for a moment, “Sure, in any case, I have time.”
When Xie Xinglin heard this, his toes were pressed against the rails under the table. The foot of the chair was fixed in the air and his gaze indifferently swept across her.

During the evening self-study break, Su Qiuge took a thermos water bottle to go get water and happened to run into Wen Mingming who was leaving the bathroom.
Wen Mingming shook off the water residue on her hands and leaned over to ask, “After the section exam is our class Han Ming’s birthday, did you know?”
“Mhm, he also invited me.”
Wen Mingming sighed, “I originally wanted to ask you on WeChat, but what kind of present should be given to a boy like him……?”
Wen Mingming put her elbow on Su Qiuge’s shoulder, “Don’t look at how Han Mingming is usually so silly looking, I heard that his family is actually quite rich. What if all of his friends gift him luxury items, but I give him some small toy or gadget, it would be so embarrassing .”
Su Qiuge did not have any trouble in this regard. She walked to the hot water machine and put her water bottle on it, “Gift whatever you want, it’s good as long as you express your well wishes. Plus, it doesn’t seem like Han Ming paid attention to such things. And when the time comes, if you use a beautiful gift box to package it, nobody would know what’s inside anyways.”
She pressed the red button on the hot water machine, “I plan to gift him the latest set of Wusan textbooks. I believe that after he opens the gift box, he will understand my intent of investing in his education. Well, my wish for him is to study well.”
**t/n: did some research and “Wusan” is the short name for a series of textbooks that prepare students for the college examination — there are new versions coming out every year
After Wen Mingming heard her, she felt that it was very reasonable and laughed. It’s as if the problem that has been plaguing her these days had finally been answered.
What’s the point of being entangled between sending a basketball or pair of sneakers?
“What you said was very reasonable! Then I might as well send him a set of Wang Houxiong, it just so happens that our presents can be a pair, give him double the happiness!”
**t/n: Wang Houxiong — an educator in China that created/edited a series of practice books for high school students — known as one of the “Three Tycoons of College Examinations” and commonly worshipped by students before their exam
When Wen Mingming was speaking, she happened to see a few drops of hot water splashed onto Su Qiuge’s hand when she was retrieving the water bottle. Wen Mingming sucked in a breath and wrinkled her face, “Does it hurt?”
Su Qiuge lowered her head and looked at the back of her hand with lowered eyes, “No.”
Wen Mingming thought about it for a while and then sincerely said, “Then, you should probably go downstairs to get water, I’m guessing this machine’s boiling function isn’t on.”
Su Qiuge felt that something was off, but also felt that Wen Mingming’s words made sense, so she nodded her head, “Okay, then I’ll go downstairs to get some.”
The evening self-study break for the first years was shorter than the second years, it was probably because they had to practice their listening skills today. There were very few people in the hallways and when you’re walking, you can even hear the English words being spoken in the various classrooms.
Su Qiuge walked in front of the hot water machine and noticed the steam, confirming that the boiling function was turned on, so she was relieved as she placed her thermos water bottle.
