Tao Jing's words sounded rather sarcastic. For a moment, Cheng Ruan couldn't tell whether the other girl was targeting Miaomiao or herself.
Just having received a piece of information about a dolphin from Tao Jing, Miaomiao naturally had a good impression of her. Moreover, Miaomiao liked talkative and outgoing people.
At least Tao Jing seemed to be such a person on the surface.
"We can be good friends too!" Miaomiao took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Sure! That would be just great. You're my first friend, and I'm so happy." Tao Jing reached out her hand happily and naturally wrapped it around Miaomiao's arm, pushing Wei Ziqi aside.
On Miaomiao's left was Cheng Ruan, a fair - skinned, beautiful, long - legged Eurasian beauty. On her right was Tao Jing, a capable - looking girl with short hair, delicate features, and a sassy charm.
Experiencing the feeling of being surrounded by two beauties, Miaomiao was over the moon! She squinted her eyes in contentment.
No wonder those people in the martial arts world liked to take one, two, three, four, or five wives. It was really pleasant to be surrounded by good - looking and fragrant young ladies.
As for Cheng Ruan, who was being "surrounded", she was glaring hatefully at the hand of Tao Jing that was on Miaomiao's arm, wishing she could chop off that "claw" with her eyes.
The position of bestie was unshakable. Even in the friendship among girls, no third party was allowed to interfere!
Cheng Ruan felt that she should do something, but she had absolutely no idea where to start.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the bonfire party begins! Let's sing and dance, shall we?"
The host of the bonfire party shouted loudly into the microphone. As the music started, the girls specially invited for the performance walked out from behind the huge curtain and danced heartily to the rhythm of the music.
Miaomiao loved this kind of lively and cheerful atmosphere the most. She quickly pulled Cheng Ruan and Tao Jing up and joined the singing and dancing.
The two boys were a bit reserved and just watched the three girls laughing and playing. They only joined in when it was time for the games.
The bonfire party only lasted for an hour and a half. After that, the music gradually died down. The host said some official advertising slogans and words of farewell, and the bonfire party came to an end.
On the way back to the hotel, Miaomiao was still humming a tune and bouncing around, full of enthusiasm. Tao Jing had been called away by a phone call halfway through the bonfire party.
Wei Ziqi was beside Miaomiao, while Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan walked at the back. Looking at the backs of the two in front, Yao Mingxuan suddenly asked, "Why were you so hostile towards that Tao Jing today?"
"Really? Was I hostile? I wasn't. I'm not. Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Ruan's triple denials just exposed her nervousness.
"Come on! Your look was almost like you were going to eat someone. I'm saying, it's not like this usually. I'm quite close to Lao Wei and Miaomiao too. How come I've never seen you act like this?"
"Humph, that's different. You and Lao Wei are boys." Cheng Ruan snorted proudly.
"We're boys. Shouldn't you be more on guard against us? Especially against Lao Wei. I always feel that Miaomiao will be seduced by him one day." Yao Mingxuan squinted his eyes and said slyly.
He couldn't let Wei Ziqi hear him bad - mouthing him behind his back. Otherwise, this guy would surely find ways to get back at him.
"That's different. Let me ask you, if one day Lao Wei makes a new friend who seems very enthusiastic and is also a boy, would you feel uncomfortable?" Cheng Ruan gave Yao Mingxuan an example directly.
"Uh, why would I feel uncomfortable? The more friends and brothers, the more fun. We'll just play together." Yao Mingxuan thought about the question carefully and answered indifferently.
"Oh, it's really impossible to explain it to you. Anyway, you should know that the friendship between besties is just like the love between a man and a woman. It's even more sacred than that! So, no third party is allowed to interfere!" Cheng Ruan said indignantly.
"What kind of crazy TV shows have you been watching recently?" Yao Mingxuan gave Cheng Ruan a disdainful up - and - down look.
"What? I really haven't watched any TV shows recently. This is just my most real feeling. It's right. Anyway, I get angry when I see that girl getting close to Miaomiao!"
"Come on, don't be angry. It's Miaomiao's freedom to make friends with whoever she wants. You can't control that. We've already said that we'll take that girl with us to play tomorrow. It's just a few days of travel. She doesn't live in the same place as us. We won't see her after we get home. Besides, you know Miaomiao's memory. She'll probably forget about this girl in a couple of days after getting home." Seeing that Cheng Ruan was really angry, Yao Mingxuan tried to persuade her earnestly.
"I know what you're saying. Oh, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I definitely won't make Miaomiao unhappy, and I definitely won't let that girl named Tao Jing get close to her. She obviously has bad intentions." Cheng Ruan said nonchalantly.
Yao Mingxuan was afraid that Cheng Ruan's impulsive nature would lead her to do something she shouldn't, which would damage their friendship because of an unimportant person. Just as he was about to continue reasoning with her, he heard Miaomiao's call in the distance.
"What are you two chatting about back there? Hurry up and come in!"
"Hey! Coming, coming."
Cheng Ruan didn't even give Yao Mingxuan a chance to continue speaking. Hearing Miaomiao's call, she quickly ran to Miaomiao's side.
After standing beside Miaomiao, Cheng Ruan even gave Yao Mingxuan a smug look.
That look seemed to be saying, "See, see, Miaomiao didn't forget me. I'm still her best bestie."
Yao Mingxuan smiled helplessly and muttered to himself, "She's really getting on my nerves."
After returning to the hotel, the four kids played around for a while. Looking at the clock on the wall, whose hands were already pointing to 12:00 at night, they all stared with wide eyes.
"Oops, I slept too much this afternoon. I can't fall asleep." Cheng Ruan wailed. It was already so late, but they didn't feel sleepy at all!
"How about we play Chinese checkers?" Yao Mingxuan, who was also wide - awake, suggested.
"Uh, I don't really want to play. I might as well read a few more books in this time." Wei Ziqi firmly rejected the idea. He wasn't very interested in any games.
The key was that playing games would just make people more energetic.
"Actually, I don't really want to play either, but I have a better idea!" Cheng Ruan said with a mischievous smile.
"What idea?"
"Miaomiao, are you sleepy?" Cheng Ruan fixed her gaze on Miaomiao.
"Um, no. Why?" Miaomiao thought for a while and answered honestly.
"Since you're not sleepy, let's learn the English alphabet!" Cheng Ruan took out an English dictionary from somewhere and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Ah?"
When Miaomiao saw the words "English dictionary", she was completely dumbfounded.
She didn't want to!
She couldn't!
She didn't want to be tortured by English after the exam!
Waaaaaaa～
