Chapter 169: Divorce Celebration

Chapter 169

Rongrong was slowly organizing test papers when she heard a crisp female voice next to her ear.

"Little classmate Rongrong, the organization is here to send you warmth!"

The newly appointed group leader was very enthusiastic, "Just let us know if those things need to be moved."

Shi Li patted Fu Huixing's arm, "I've brought free labor to do the work."

Though it was just a brief touch, with the fabric of the white T-shirt in between, it made someone freeze in place.

Rongrong naturally didn't miss someone's unimpressive reaction. She didn't refuse Shi Li's goodwill, "Thank you then, everything on the podium can be moved upstairs."

"Alright!"

Shi Li wasn't the type to follow Fu Huixing's suggestion of only picking up light things to move. She wasn't the kind of person who liked to slack off.

Shi Li picked up a stack of books from the podium, intending to carry them herself. However, Fu Huixing naturally took them into his own hands, as if her purpose had been to hand the books to him.

She couldn't exactly fight with him over a stack of books on the podium.

So Shi Li placed light but space-consuming items like an empty water bottle and pencil case on top of the books in his arms. Taking advantage of the fact that he had no more space in his hands, Shi Li tucked a stack of books under her arm and pushed Fu Huixing towards the classroom door.

A fire ignited on his back, and Fu Huixing's brain forgot how to think. He just followed Shi Li's movement out of the classroom until they entered the new classroom, where his brain finally emerged from its dazed state.

With Shi Li and Fu Huixing's help, the three of them moving things together greatly improved work efficiency.

Qiao Jingjia finished moving all the books and personal items, and sat down at his desk wanting to take a break, only to find that the others in the same group had already finished everything.

Logically, they shouldn't be hungry now, but after running up and down moving things in the afternoon, coupled with young people's fast metabolism, upon smelling the aroma of grilled skewers, they felt they could eat a whole cow.

"Do you come to this restaurant often?"

Fu Huixing nodded, and the next moment the menu was handed to him. "You must know what's good here, why don't you recommend some dishes?"

He didn't decline. After asking about the dietary restrictions and preferences of the three at the table, he picked up a pencil and carefully marked items on the menu.

The restaurant Fu Huixing recommended, and the dishes he ordered, were really quite delicious.

Shi Li and Qiao Jingjia both gave a thumbs up, "Delicious!"

Summer days get dark late, so it was still light out after they finished eating the barbecue.

Shi Li took the menu to go pay, but Qiao Jingjia snatched it from her, "Let me, let me. My dad is about to divorce my stepmom, consider this me treating everyone to a celebratory meal."

It was the first time they'd heard of a celebratory meal for a divorce.

Shi Li froze not because of the divorce celebration, but because she remembered something.

Qiao Jingjia had been classmates with Shi Li for three years in her previous life. When he mentioned the divorce, Shi Li recalled something.

[But, Qiao Jingjia's dad divorced the wife he married later to avoid debt collectors. When they divorced, he divided all the property to give to his later wife.]

Qiao Jingjia, who had taken out his phone to pay: ...Damn it.

[As a result, not long after the divorce, Qiao Jingjia's father died in a car accident.]

Qiao Jingjia: ...Damn it all to hell.
