Chapter 823: Chapter 823: The Most Romantic Date (Part 3)
Song Anjing stood with hands on her hips, positioned between Ao Xinghao and Qin Xin:
"Hey, hey, that’s too much. God Ao, you guys better not use any tricks on Xinxin. Xinxin can only be hugged by me, you guys should just forget about it! Stop dawdling, hurry up and get up the mountain to dig soil, Little Jujie is waiting."
Ao Xinghao watched dejectedly as Song Anjing pulled Qin Xin away. Feeling a moment’s loss, in the next second, he quickly started to follow, calling back to Hu Yi without turning his head: "Dumbass, bring the luggage back to the dorm first and then come find us."
Huo Zhen immediately put his luggage down and followed Ao Xinghao.
Hu Yi: "Got it!"
He carried three heavy backpacks by himself towards the dormitory.
After walking quite a distance, he only then realized, why exactly was he doing the heavy lifting? He also wanted to follow Sister Xin to dig soil right away!

The four little buddies teamed up with Qin Xin to plant trees and soon completed the task.
Other students, however, were still struggling with digging holes, and some were having a hard time planting properly:
"What to do? The leaves are already dry. I feel like even if we plant it, it won’t survive."
"It seems like we’ve watered it too much, the roots are a bit swollen. Will it rot?"
Especially Qin Wenrou and Yu Xiaochun’s group, neither of them knew how to plant trees and no boys were willing to team up with them, which made it extremely difficult.
Yu Xiaochun mustered up the courage to seek advice from Qin Xin, with a humble and earnest attitude.
Qin Xin gave her a few words: "Planting trees is just like raising pets, it needs care."
Yu Xiaochun pondered on this, thanked her multiple times, and went back to tell Qin Wenrou.
As soon as Qin Wenrou heard it was from the ugly duckling, she snorted a few sarcastic comments: "How ridiculous, comparing trees to pets? Do trees have souls? Laughable to the extreme!"
Yu Xiaochun had no choice but to ignore Qin Wenrou and plant on her own. After much effort, she finally managed to plant a small sapling.
Meanwhile, Qin Wenrou was still clueless about how to fill the soil, continually blaming the teacher for giving her defective saplings.
Hu Yi accidentally saw Qin Wenrou helplessly fumbling and regretted ever being so blind, sighing:
"For some reason, it always feels like our saplings are more vibrant than others, adapting quickly to the new soil. Could it be that the patch of land we chose is particularly fertile?"
Ao Xinghao squinted his eyes: "Dumbass, you’re really dumb. Don’t you think that being around Sister Xin makes us all feel more energized?"
Hu Yi: "Right!"
Around Sister Xin, there seems to be an aura that really makes people feel comfortable, excited, like conquering everything in sight.
Even stealing soil is full of fun.
As they carried the soil back and replanted for Dongju, it was almost lunchtime.
"Sister Xin, shall we go for barbecue? Haven’t had a meal together with you for a long time, look at me, I’ve lost ten pounds."
"Sister Xin, how about we let Xiangxiang make some soup? Oh no, Xiangxiang seems to be not around, Sister Xin, I’ll use my scholarship to treat you to a big meal!"
"Sister Xin..."
Looking at her friends eagerly inviting her for lunch, Qin Xin remembered a certain man’s endless reminders about their "date" in the morning...
Headache. Which side should she decline?

Before school ended, Nalan Ye Jue arrived at the school gate half an hour early.
As Qin Xin opened the passenger door, he was in the middle of a phone call. Seeing her arrival, he hastily ended the call: "Small Ta..."
Before he could continue, Qin Xin interrupted: "Brother."
Nalan Ye Jue’s words froze on his lips.
What did she just call him?
Brother?
What an infuriating woman.
