Li Qiao finished replying to the letter in her dorm and met with Ma Hongxiang, who had asked her to join for a study session at the library. "Also, teach me some English."
"It's not convenient to talk at the library, let's find a classroom. Just wait for me a moment," Li Qiao said.
Ma Hongxiang: "Okay."
Li Qiao wrote the letter, sealed it in an envelope, and tucked it into her book. "Let's go."
"Hmm."
Just as the two were about to leave, Xue Sufen requested to join, curious to see how Li Qiao studied.
Cheng Shuqin clamored to join in as well.
Out of respect for Xue Lingqing, Li Qiao inwardly feared Xue Sufen and did not object, but she did not agree either. Xue Sufen took her silence as consent.
The group of four set out, and along the way, male students kept slipping notes into Xue Sufen's hands, all essentially pleading: "Hello Xue Sufen, sorry to bother you but would you study with me so we can improve together?"
