CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: WELCOME PARTY

The bell rang for the end of class. Bi Xia hadn’t moved yet when Meng Luo turned around, smiling broadly at Bi Xia, and said, "Hey, handsome. Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Meng Luo. You can call me Sister Luo."

Raising his eyes to look at Meng Luo and confirming there wasn’t a hint of malice, Bi Xia nodded, "Hello, Sister Luo. I’m Bi Xia. I hope you all enjoy your time in Class H."

"And me! And me!" Xu Renfei, forgetting the earlier awkwardness before class, quickly stood up when he heard Bi Xia. "Little Jiu Jiu~~ I’m Xu Renfei. You can call me Brother Fei, or Brother Qi, or just Brother~~"

Bi Xia paused for a moment, "Alright, Xu Renfei."

Xu Renfei: ...

Meng Luo laughed unreservedly. Xu Renfei rolled his eyes at her, "Go ahead and laugh, Sister Luo. Didn’t we agree to help each other with homework and cheat off each other during exams?"

Meng Luo twirled her hair and laughed, "That doesn’t stop me from making fun of you, though."

Xu Renfei: Haha.

"I heard that," Bi Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "As class president, I’ll be keeping a close eye on Xu."

Xu Renfei: ...

At this moment, Meng Chi walked up and greeted Meng Luo and Xu Renfei first, then asked Bi Xia, "Boss, we’re thinking of performing a little show during the break to welcome you two to Class H."

Upon hearing Meng Chi’s suggestion, Bi Xia thought for a moment and then nodded, "That sounds good. Have you decided what to perform?"

Xu Renfei was a bit stunned and turned to ask Meng Luo, "Are they planning to celebrate us?"

Meng Luo touched her chin and nodded, "Seems like it’s definitely for us."

After sharing a glance, both felt a bit helpless that their classmates were openly discussing plans without hiding from them. If it was a welcome party, shouldn’t it at least be a bit surprising?

Following the usual scenario, wouldn’t there be someone taking them out, and when they returned, the classroom would be decorated with fairy lights and streamers, with all their classmates eagerly waiting in their seats?

And this stern-faced, imposing class president Bi Xia holding flowers would come up to them, welcoming them warmly in front of everyone?

This script feels off! Did they get the wrong script?!

"You’ve watched too many dramas." A cold voice rudely interrupted Xu Renfei’s wild imagination.

Startled, Xu Renfei looked at Bi Xia, stammering, "Y-you, how did you know what I was thinking?!"

Idiot!

Meng Luo sighed exasperatedly, covering her face as if she didn’t know him.

Bi Xia gave Xu Renfei a disdainful look, "You said it out loud, thanks."

Xu Renfei: ... The weather’s nice today... Ha, ha, ha...

Suddenly, Zhao Wenxin spoke up, "Your Majesty, there’s a guitar in the homeroom teacher’s office. If anyone knows how to play, they can use it."

"I’ll go get it." Wu Zhiyuan dashed out immediately.

Wu Zhiyuan was indeed a man of action. In no time, he returned with a wooden guitar and handed it to Bi Xia, then stood there blinking, "But... who knows how to play?"

Some classmates said they knew a little but weren’t very good, and others said playing the guitar in front of Xu Renfei would be like showing off inferior skills to an expert.

Xu Renfei instantly revived from his earlier embarrassment and looked a bit pleased at Bi Xia. He stepped forward and shrugged helplessly, "Fine, I’ll play then. Consider it my gift to you guys."

As he reached for the guitar, a small hand stopped him. Looking up into those calm, starry eyes, the young man said flatly, "We said we would welcome you, and now you’re giving us gifts? What’s that about?"

Xu Renfei smiled, "No need to be so particular. We’re all classmates, after all."

"Not until we’ve properly welcomed you will you be true members of Class H," Bi Xia took the guitar, leaned slightly against the desk, and put one leg on the edge of his chair for convenience.

His starry eyes slightly raised, with a soft and gentle glint, and a subtle but mesmerizing smile appeared on his lips. He said, "I’ll play."
