Chapter 87: It seems like I don't have the talent for being a rice bucket

  Although he didn't mind the ten bucks, but having to pay for attending this study group is simply unheard of.

  "Because many students in the school are quite curious about this place, if too many people come, it will be a bit crowded and delay the treatment of animals. Moreover, due to the frequent purchase of feed and other things, the activity funds of the school alone are not enough. So, the group leader came up with this way to make money."

  Just as Li Xiaobai and Zhao Liang were at a loss for words, Han Dan spoke up to explain.

  "Is that so..."

  Hearing Han Dan say this, Zhao Liang took out his wallet and was about to take out the money.

  "But you don't have to, it's free to visit now," Han Dan said again.

  The boy, who was the group leader Tian Fei, kept sizing up Han Dan and Zhao Liang, but didn't say anything for a while. His face wasn't looking good either. Almost everyone in the small house had noticed it.

  "That's right, just now they helped to block the little rabbit," Ning Yiyi glanced at Li Xiaobai and smiled, "especially him, that was amazing, his jacket flew out and directly pressed the little rabbit underneath. Li Xiaobai almost didn't recover from the shock. By the way, I forgot to say, his name is Li Xiaobai, maybe he's not happy because he has the same name as you?"

  At this moment, the atmosphere in the house became oppressive.

  The two remaining girls were looking at Li Xiaobai with some resentment, and the team leader Tian Fei's face also became even more gloomy.

  Come on, are you explaining or framing? He has no conflict with small animals and will not harm innocent people for no reason.

  "Haha, just kidding." Just as Li Xiaobai was about to say something, Ning Yiyang jumped out again, "Anyway, thanks to the two of them, otherwise Little White would have run away."

  It's better to joke with people you're familiar with, isn't that common sense? This girl doesn't even understand common sense, and her hair isn't even long.

  "Fine, let them take a look then," Tian Fei stood up and said expressionlessly, "I have something to attend to, I'll leave first."

  How come it's like this again? A girl muttered and withdrew her gaze.

  Ning Yiyi intervened and said that the team leader was not wrong either. If there were many people gathering here every day, it would scare the small animals.

  The two people talked, Li Xiaobai didn't mind at all, casually sizing up the animals in the small house.

  Some of these animals were wrapped in white bandages and others were tied up with branches.

  There are also some small animals that have been active and jumping around, looking like they will recover soon and leave this place.

  The other girls, only Ning Yiyang and Zhao Liang were chatting, while Han Dan and the other two were busy with their own things. In short, all of this made Li Xiaobai, a visitor, think of the company's bustling scene, everyone's enthusiasm was overwhelming.

  At a little past six o'clock, a girl shouted for Ning Yiy and Han Dan to go eat, and then come back to replace them.

  The two of them had to leave, and Li Xiaobai naturally didn't have anything good to stay for.

  Up to now, except for Zhao Liang who was very familiar with the two and introduced himself, Li Xiaobai and the remaining girl didn't say a word, staying here would be awkward. By the way, since entering the hut, he hadn't said a single word.

  "Let's go, I'll treat you guys to dinner," said Han Dan as they left the bamboo shed. "Thanks for what happened earlier, no matter what."

  It's said that it's a bit forced, looking at his not-so-polite method towards small animals, Han Dan still has some dissatisfaction. Ning Yiyang also jumped out to add. However, apparently eating with Li Xiaobai and the others, she didn't show much interest. It's estimated that because of what Han Dan said, she didn't want to appear stingy.

  "No... never mind..."

  Li Xiaobai was about to refuse, but Zhao Liang quickly covered his mouth. "Haha, I'm just feeling hungry right now. However, it's still me treating you guys, how can we let a girl treat us to dinner?"

  Hey hey hey, didn't you just eat a while ago? Eating again, it seems like I don't have the talent to be a rice bucket.

  But seeing Zhao Liang's resolute attitude, Li Xiaobai also didn't want to leave immediately.

  It's settled that we'll eat together, but when it comes to paying, Han Dan still insists on using her card.

  Zhao Liang saw that his opponent was insistent, and with a bitter smile, he could only give up.

  Han Dan is a pretty good girl, Li Xiaobai thought to himself. That time Guo Jing pretended to invite him out for dinner and then tried to make him take the fall. Compared to Han Dan, this little girl can't even catch up with her even if she rode on Sun Wukong's筋斗云 (a mythical cloud) and did a few flips.

  Oh no, accidentally, all the broken reference objects are Guo Jing, this little girl is really terrible.

  Being with such a deskmate and not collapsing myself, my willpower is really impressive.

  They say that one loss leads to a gain in wisdom. Since his defeat in front of the girls' dormitory building, Zhao Liang has been depressed for several days. But today, he appears particularly spirited and has made significant progress in his conversation skills with the girls. During dinner, Zhao Liang kept talking about the common knowledge of small animals that he knew, trying to leave a good impression on the two girls.

  Ning Yiyi, sitting across from him, smiled as usual, but her smile was very low-key. In the restaurant, she occasionally burst out laughing, attracting the attention of others who couldn't help but glance over at her from time to time. Han Dan, on the other hand, was very quiet, and when Zhao Liang spoke to her, she only responded with a polite sentence or two.

  He had already eaten, and the dishes on the table hadn't been touched. Zhao Liang was enthusiastic about chatting with the two girls, so he wouldn't pay attention to him. The two girls didn't intend to talk to him either, so at the dinner table, Li Xiaobai was the most idle person.

  But to this extent, it's still not unbearable. To kill time, he is excellent, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he's top-notch.

  Generally speaking, high school meals are very fast. From Monday to Friday, from the classroom to the cafeteria, from getting food to finishing eating, it can be done in about 15 minutes. On weekends, there is naturally more free time, but half an hour is enough.

  Today it took almost 45 minutes.

  Helpless, in front of girls, boys' mouths are often two extremes, either unable to say a word due to tension, or talking nonsense and speaking endlessly without repeating themselves.

  Obviously, the two people in front of him did not have the same oppressive feeling as Xia Rong, and Zhao Liang's speech was still quite fluent.

  However, Li Xiaobai could see that Han Dan had already glanced at his watch twice.

  Seeing this situation, Li Xiaobai stood up first and said he was full.

  Zhao Liang didn't want to make a statement at first, but seeing Han Dan's bowl and chopsticks had been left there for who knows how long, he could only give up.

  The four of them left the restaurant together and after a simple farewell, Han Dan and the other person headed back in the direction of the playground.

  Having no other choice, Zhao Liang could only follow Li Xiaobai back to their dormitory.

  "What do you think of Han Dan?"

  As soon as he returned to his dormitory, Zhao Liang said somewhat anxiously.

  Not bad, really not bad. Even if Li Xiaobai had some prejudices against girls, he thought that a girl like Han Dan was beyond reproach. Of course, it would be even better if she hadn't looked at him with contemptuous eyes.

  "Right," Zhao Liang nodded in agreement, "I thought so from the moment I saw her."

  Do you think so of every pretty girl?

  "What's this, starting to shift targets?" Li Xiaobai smiled, "Your wound is healing quite quickly."

  "The way to cure the emotional trauma of the past is to start a new romance," Zhao Liang said, lying on his back. "As for Xia Xiner, I'm out of luck. And I feel that my liking for Xia Xiner was more of an impulsive feeling, after all, she's really too beautiful. I dare say, many boys in the class are secretly in love with her. It's just that no one dares to confess like me. But Xia Xiner's eyes that night really made me feel uneasy, how can I put it, it was as if she had a thorough dislike for me. Now thinking about it, I don't admire myself for mustering up the courage to confess, but instead, I'm full of regret."

  It's not that it can't be understood, the other party is a girl who doesn't have any intention of dating, or maybe she already has a boyfriend, and you still confess to her. Some girls might secretly feel happy about it, but Xia Xiner definitely belongs to the type that truly feels disgusted.

  "En, ni xiang hao jiu hao."

  Translation: "Well, as long as you're happy."

  Li Xiaobai had said something casually and was also ready to go to sleep.

  At this time, Zhao Liang suddenly sat up from the bed, and got up too quickly, almost hitting the wooden board of the upper bunk.

  Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao Liang said, "Don't sleep yet, I still have something to discuss with you?"

  Recently, there have been too many people coming to me for advice, Li Xiaobai was speechless. The most important thing is that all the things you come to consult about are emotional problems. He who has never been in love before claims to be a master of romance, but there's still a difference between being a theoretical expert and a practical one. He doesn't want to end up like Zhao Kuang in the future.

  However, Zhao Liang did not look for his own good friend, but rather insisted on looking for him, which can be understood.

  He likes Xia Xiner, everyone in the dormitory knows. The confession failed, and everyone in the dormitory knows. Sometimes he cares too much about his friends, and doesn't want them to see his embarrassing side. He himself doesn't care, because they're not close, so Zhao Liang also doesn't care about his opinion.

  To be honest, Li Xiaobai didn't have much of an opinion either.

  "Let's just say it, but I'm probably 80-90% useless anyway."

  "You can help out, you definitely can." Zhao Liang said with great confidence.

  Even I didn't know I was so valuable, indeed, only an onlooker can see things clearly?

  Li Xiaobai neither confirmed nor denied it, indicating that he would listen and observe. Then, Zhao Liang went on to express his thoughts.

  This is also too ridiculous!

  Even if Li Xiaobai thought of all sorts of things, Zhao Liang's thinking still exceeded his brain, or it might be said that it reached the sky.

  "How about it, Li Xiaobai? You've definitely never been in a relationship before, so why not rehearse for once? Otherwise, when you meet the girl you like in the future, if you don't have any experience, you might miss your chance."

  But still, there's something weird about it, can't accept it no matter how I think about it!

  "You'd better ask someone else," Li Xiaobai shook his head without hesitation, "Pursuing girls and all that, I'm really not ready for it yet."
