Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 118: Inspection

An Xiaoqian's eyes widened instantly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and then she suddenly came to her senses and finally understood what it meant to dine and dash.

She subconsciously shrank her neck, lowered her voice, her eyes full of embarrassment and shame, and said with mixed feelings: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It would be fine if you ate alone, but why did you bring me along to eat with you?

"It's over, it's over. I just ordered so much more food." When she said this, her face quickly turned red, even the roots of her ears were red.

Hu Xiaobei swallowed the food in his mouth, glanced at her, smiled and comforted her, "Inviting you to dinner alone is not a big deal at all.

If the school knew about this, they would be eager for me to treat alumni to meals in the cafeteria every day. If I ate out every day, the principal and others would come to persuade me.

An Xiaoqian clearly still didn't believe it. She felt like she was taking advantage of someone else, so she couldn't help but ask softly, "Really? Do you think it's a bit of an overreaction for me to give some cash to the cafeteria now?"

Hu Xiaobei sighed helplessly, looked at An Xiaoqian seriously, and explained solemnly: "Really, there is no need. If you don't believe me, look over there."

After saying that, he raised his chin slightly and nodded behind An Xiaoqian.

An Xiaoqian turned sideways and looked back, only to see Principal Zhang sitting not far behind her.

Principal Zhang nodded first, then smiled and replied, "Xiao Bei is right. Just follow him and eat without worry. I'll vouch for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately understood what he meant. There was someone nearby who couldn't hold back his laughter and could only lower his head and cover his mouth to laugh.

Hu Xiaobei was aware of their thoughts, so he pretended to clear his throat and said with a double meaning, "Student An Xiaoqian is still a minor. It's normal for her to be kind-hearted but thin-skinned.

Otherwise, why would I think about paying, worrying about others getting hurt, and the negative impact it would have. Oh, what a terrible thing people say!

Everyone present was smart, so how could they not understand the implicit meaning of Hu Xiaobei's words?

Principal Zhang coughed lightly, then slowly looked around before saying, "Xiaobei is right. An Xiaoqian can eat in the cafeteria without worry in the future. Just use Xiaobei's card and don't worry about anything else."

After saying that, he gave Hu Xiaobei a look, telling him not to worry.

Hu Xiaobei deliberately arched his hands, smiled and responded jokingly: "Principal Zhang is here, Qingtian is here!"

Hu Xiaobei enjoyed the meal as usual. Although An Xiaoqian was a little embarrassed at first, she felt much better later and was not hungry at all.

The two of them enjoyed their lunch contentedly, chatting as they slowly walked downstairs.

The afternoon sun shines lazily, bringing a hint of coolness.

The cold wind blew gently among the treetops, making a rustling sound, as if reminding the two to wrap their coats tightly.

Hu Xiaobei tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on An Xiaoqian, and asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory, or somewhere else?
An Xiaoqian shook her head gently, a look of idleness on her face and a hint of laziness in her eyes: "I don't live on campus. I usually go to my classmates' dormitories or read in the library at noon. How about you?"

Hu Xiaobei recalled their earlier conversation, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he said cheerfully, "Oh, I'm usually in the library. So, I'll go back to the dormitory to get my phone, and then I'll go to the library to find you."

An Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, a look of curiosity emerged on her face, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said excitedly: "I haven't been to your dormitory yet. Is it convenient for me to go and take a look?"

Hu Xiaobei raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a big smile. He patted his pectoral muscles in a deliberately exaggerated manner and said nonchalantly, "Of course, it's okay. How can it be inconvenient for a grown man like me?"

An Xiaoqian smiled slightly, bit her lip, a trace of worry and hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "I mean, will your roommates find it inconvenient?"

Hu Xiaobei snapped his fingers, a noncommittal smile on his face: "Uh...you'll know when you go and see it."

The two walked into Student Apartment No. 2, and soft sunlight shone through the corridor windows onto the ground.

They followed the light, walked up the stairs, and came to the door of Hu Xiaobei's dormitory.

Hu Xiaobei pretended to take out his key, but in fact he used his shadow power to gently open the door. As for keys, he never carried anything like that.

An Xiaoqian walked into the dormitory and quickly scanned the room with her eyes revealing curiosity and confusion.

The dormitory is clean and tidy, and sunlight shines through the windows onto the ground, forming soft spots of light.

She frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise, and asked, "This is your exclusive single room. Don't you have a roommate? Why didn't I know that students can have single rooms?"

Hu Xiaobei nodded slightly and explained calmly: "Well, this is the most basic living benefit."

After hearing Hu Xiaobei's explanation, An Xiaoqian's face was full of envy.

She paced around the house, looking here and there, touching things, her eyes wide open, and exclaimed, "Wow, this is so special! I can actually live here alone!"
Many of my classmates said that living with four people is very spacious, and there are even dormitories where six people can live together.

She walked to the bed, reached out and gently touched the sheets and quilt, a satisfied smile on her face, and commented: "The bed is quite clean, not bad!"

Hu Xiaobei shook his head and said disapprovingly, "It's not exactly clean. After all, it's been stored away for over two months and hasn't been used. The one I brought back is still in the east clothes drying area, and it's still not dry."

An Xiaoqian pointed to the heating pipe and said, "You can put it on this. It will dry quickly."

Hu Xiaobei: "Uh..."

An Xiaoqian walked to the desk again and glanced at the laptop and other neatly arranged small items on the table.

She reached out and gently touched the small objects on the table, rearranging them according to her preferences.

An Xiaoqian tilted her head slightly and frowned slightly: "Your desk is so tidy, how come there is not a single book on it? Do you have a special place for books?"

Hu Xiaobei smiled, a hint of emotion in his eyes: "When I had nothing to do in the dormitory before, I liked to read books. Now I have changed to writing, so there are no books."

An Xiaoqian turned and looked at the neatly arranged shoes by the wall. The corners of her mouth rose slightly and she nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, the shoes are arranged neatly. You have half the skill of me."

Seeing An Xiaoqian finish her dormitory tour, Hu Xiaobei picked up his phone, walked to the door, and slightly sideways, motioning to her, "Let's go to the library."

An Xiaoqian took another look at the dormitory, the laptop on the table, and the small items, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll come here to read and play next time."

Hu Xiaobei smiled slightly and said in a cheerful tone: "Leaders are welcome to come for inspection at any time!"

After lunch the next day, An Xiaoqian came to inspect again.

Fortunately, Hu Xiaobei brought back a few books this time, so he could read them while sitting on the edge of the bed.

An Xiaoqian occupied his desk, chair and laptop and started reading Hu Xiaobei's new novel "Xiu Xian".

Because I often visited various scenic spots and took photos while in Yandang Mountain, this book only had less than 200,000 words.

An Xiaoqian had read the outline of his book, so she had a certain understanding of the general characters and plot direction in the book.

She doesn't like watching the fighting and killing parts, so she is doing quantum reading.

In this way, his reading speed was no slower than Hu Xiaobei's, and he soon saw the content where the heroine appeared.

About half an hour later, An Xiaoqian gently shook her head, frowned slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She sighed, "There's a huge problem with your book."

Hu Xiaobei was flipping through the pages of his book, immersed in his studies. Without even looking up, he simply moved his lips and asked casually, "Oh...for example?"
