Shi Weiwei rolled her eyes, "Of course I know that! We're going to celebrate tonight at midnight in his room and then he's throwing a party tomorrow."
Ying Xuan scratched her head, 'It's something related to that.'
"What?" Shi Weiwei asked, she was getting impatient.
Ying Xuan signed, 'Please Weiwei. It's like my gift to him. I need to prepare it. He wouldn't let me get him something.'
The gossiper inside Shi Weiwei was immediately aroused, "You're giving him something handmade? What is it!?!?"
Xuan mysteriously put a finger on her lip and signed, 'It's a secret. You'll know if you are in his room at midnight.'
Shi Weiwei frowned but gave up. "Fine. Go. Maybe we'll go over the costumes one more time before calling it a night." she sighed.
Ying Xuan beamed and pecked Weiwei on the cheek before rushing out.
As she disappeared, Wei Jingyu walked upto Weiwei, who was looking in the direction of the door. "Where is she off to? Toilet break?" he asked.
Shi Weiwei shook her head but said nothing.
"Is everything all right?" he asked again, probing for answers.
Shi Weiwei was lost in thought for a second before she turned to Wei Jingyu. "Jingyu, practice your part once more. Alone. And ask the others to do it too. I'll be back in a second."
Saying this Shi Weiwei turned and called out, "Shaoyan!!!!!!" before running towards Su Shaoyan.
Wei Jingyu stared at Weiwei for a minute before he shrugged and picked up his script.
Everyone parted after some time and Shi Weiwei said goodnight to Su Shaoyan at the entrance of the girls' dorms, where he had insisted to walk her too.
"You'll tell me as soon as you find out right!?!" Shaoyan said as he hung on Weiwei's arm.
Shi Weiwei chuckled, "Of course Shaoyan. You're my gossip partner. Just let me find out what Xuan is doing."
Shi Weiwei headed in and towards Ying Xuan's room.
As she entered, at first Weiwei thought Xuan indeed was here, but she soon realised her mistake.
Ying Xi was sitting in her study table, bent over a book. She looked up when she heard the sound of door opening, but turned back to her book without a word.
Shi Weiwei closed the door and headed back to her room. "Hmm, that's new. I never thought I would get to see Ying Xi studying. And I wonder where Xuan's got to." Shi Weiwei wondered to herself as she went in her room.
Shi Weiwei was uneasy, so she sent Ying Xuan a text asking where she was and if she was okay.
Ying Xuan replied after a few minutes, 'Don't worry about me. I'm fine. As to where, it's a secret.' She had added a winking emoji at the last. Shi Weiwei put down her phone, thinking that she should study too, but not sure if she would be able to focus.
Some time before midnight, Shi Weiwei got dressed in a comfortable jeans and T-shirt and headed out of her room.
She went to Xuan's room again and was very surprised to find her still not there, and Ying Xi fast asleep on her study table.
Shi Weiwei came out of the dorms sending a text to Ying Xuan.
