Chapter 60: Smiling Has No Side Effects (Seeking Collection)

  The more I think about it, the more I feel this way. However, Lin Nan didn't educate him because of this. Li Xiaobai felt a bit smug. A good class teacher is really important. In fact, a good class teacher is more important than all the classmates put together. Those classmates who hardly interact with each other can be discarded without any consequences. But if they were to hire tutors for the whole year, it would be too extravagant. It's better to just stay in school honestly.

  Met with Xuran at the school gate, today she was wearing a white sweater on top and the usual jeans on the bottom. Due to the gradually cooling weather, the hat that usually served as an ornament was worn on her head, which made Xuran, who was normally quiet, look somewhat cute.

  There were several people around Xu Ran, in addition to Song Ke Xin and Ning Han, the head of the broadcasting room, who had been seen before. There were also two boys. One of them wore glasses and looked refined and elegant. The other one had his left arm around Song Ke Xin and was looking bored. When they got closer, Li Xiao Bai realized that this boy was the one he had met in the broadcasting room before.

  "Now that everyone is here, let's go." Ning Huan, who took the lead in the group, hailed two taxis parked not far from the school gate. "We'll eat first and then go sing karaoke after dinner."

  A group of four boys and two girls, hailed two taxis normally, but the school was already in a bustling area. If they went to a nearby restaurant, it wouldn't take long to walk there. He thought back to the last time he and Guo Jing had dinner with Yuan at a place within walking distance. It's not that walking is more comfortable than being in an oppressive space. Nor is that entirely true, because if you're walking, you won't have the feeling of spatial oppression, but the time spent on the road will be longer, and the feeling of suffocation will also increase.

  Forget it, whatever.

  "My wife and I were in this..." Song Ke Xin's boyfriend Fang Shuai said first.

  Calling yourself a wife without getting married, isn't your consciousness too advanced?

  "Fang Shuai and they are in the second car, who else is going?" Ning Huan watched the two leave and began to ask for others' opinions.

  In any case, he didn't want to ride in the same car as those two people. When Ning Huan spoke, Li Xiaobai stood still and didn't move.

  But it wasn't just him, including Xu Ran, who stood still and didn't move.

  It turns out that there is a kindred spirit, Song Ke Xin. Hurry up and hide your bad temper, nobody likes to ride in the same car as you. This is what he thought, but Li Xiao Bai knew that the real reason was probably because both Ning Han and Glasses Man had some feelings for Xu Ran.

  I won't go to hell, who will go to hell. Seeing that the three of them still hadn't moved, Li Xiaobai took the lead and sat in the passenger seat of the car behind.

  In fact, the time spent driving was not as long as the argument had been, and even on congested roads, the car had only traveled for ten minutes before stopping in front of a hotel.

  During this time, there was no conversation between Li Xiaobai and Fang Shuai, but from the rearview mirror in the car, Li Xiaobai occasionally caught a glimpse of Fang Shuai telling cheesy jokes nonstop, with Song Kexin bursting into giggles from time to time.

  Damn it, even a driver uncle in his thirties would frequently glance at us through the rearview mirror, can't you guys be more steady? I don't want to die so soon!

  Finally got off the bus, Li Xiaobai was the first to jump down and let out a sigh of relief.

  The reason for coming to this hotel for dinner is that the third floor of the hotel has KTV rooms, and after dinner, you can go directly to open a room to sing songs without having to take a car to other places.

  Everyone arrived at the pre-booked room and took their seats one after another.

  There's nothing worth mentioning during meals.

  If anything, it's that his prediction was right, Ning Huan and the bespectacled man sitting on either side of Xu Ran would occasionally find opportunities to talk to her, and the two men competing for the same girl's attention began to unfold in this room.

  On the other hand, Song Ke Xin, who was sitting next to Li Xiao Bai, had been showing off her affection with Fang Shuai. Fortunately, there were no scenes of them feeding each other. I remember one time when they were eating at a restaurant and it was too crowded, so Li Xiao Bai sat down next to a couple. While they were eating, the two of them openly performed their "feeding each other" act in the restaurant, which caused people around them to keep glancing over, and even a girl nearby made a face of disgust. At the time, Li Xiao Bai thought that she was being disliked for playing the role of a third wheel, so she didn't finish her meal and left early.

  In a state of being undisturbed, Li Xiaobai can eliminate the dishes on the dinner table one by one in his wild thoughts.

  Is this the purpose of inviting oneself, knowing that everyone's attention will not be on the dinner table, so a special external aid is needed to solve the problem of food on the dinner table. If so, one's value is indeed enormous, after all, waste is unforgivable.

  The time for eating was less than an hour, obviously, everyone was more interested in singing. After dinner, the six people walked out of the dining hall one after another, and under the guidance of the welcoming staff, they took the escalator to the third floor.

  Have to say, the hotel's soundproofing is not good, when passing by each room, there is only a very small sound coming out.

  The usher on the third floor led six people to a private room door, pushed open the door, made a gesture of invitation, and then withdrew.

  Inside the box, there is a small stage. Next to the stage is the song selection system. In front of the stage is a large screen. Down from the stage, after walking a few steps, it's a long, long coffee table surrounded by genuine leather sofas on both sides and behind.

  As soon as they came in, Fang Shuai pulled Song Ke Xin to sit on the small sofa on the right side, where it was more convenient to order songs.

  Li Xiaobai naturally chose the sofa on the left side.

  If he were sitting in the middle, when others pointed to each other to sing and suddenly forgot that he was present, causing an awkward atmosphere, even Li Xiaobai would feel guilty.

  "Okay, you sit in the middle then?" Ning Huan pointed to the seat beside him.

  Liu Kun, the bespectacled man, didn't say a word but nodded in agreement.

  "No need, I'll just sit next to Li Xiaobai, it's just that I have something to ask him."

  Xu Ran smiled politely and sat down beside Li Xiaobai amidst their astonishment.

  That location is even more secluded than Li Xiaobai's, as it's already leaning against the wall.

  It's not just Ning Huan who is shocked, but rather all five people in the room are surprised to varying degrees. Song Ke Xin, who was sitting opposite him, looked over at Xu Ran with a strange expression.

  Hey, are you singing "Two People Looking at Each Other"? If so, then turn around and look at your boyfriend instead.

  Li Xiaobai was also, but more was regretful. Now, Ning Han and Liu Kun were both occasionally looking in this direction, the bad thing was that Xu Ran was sitting behind him, those gazes that shot over all mistakenly greeted him, it was really speechless.

  "Why don't you sit outside?" Li Xiaobai suggested, "I've always had a good habit of taking a nap at noon, whether it's a holiday or not. Now, I'm a bit sleepy, and leaning against the wall might be slightly more comfortable."

  "Li Xiaobai, I invited you here," Xuran's signature smile reappeared. "It's not very polite to sneak a rest when others are having fun."

  What you said is right, but whether I sleep or not seems like nobody cares anyway?

  However, others keep smiling, while I put on an indifferent face, as if it's also impossible for me.

  "Alright then, I'll just hold on a bit longer." Li Xiaobai thought for a moment and added, "But if I accidentally fall asleep and roll over in your direction, that wouldn't be good."

  Now that you mention it, Xu Ran probably won't change positions anymore, right?

  "I believe you can persist, Li Xiaobai."

  What's going on with this unwarranted trust? I don't even trust myself to this extent.

  However, apart from girls' tears making Li Xiaobai helpless, their smiles are also very lethal.

  Moreover, compared to girls' crying, smiling seems to have no side effects. For example, when Guo Jing Xiao-Nu cries, it's usually a spoiled behavior after being defeated by him. Li Xiao-Bai may give up or surrender reluctantly, but she will develop a resistant psychology towards Guo Jing's behavior. However, Xu Ran's smile can make people willing to obey.

  But smiling at him also means smiling at others, it's better to calm down your own head.

  "Excuse me for a moment, I've brought the drinks you ordered."

  The atmosphere in the private room was subtly spreading when the door opened, and a male waiter brought over some drinks that were ordered by either Ning Han or someone else.

  Taking this opportunity, the frost also began to melt slowly.
