“What’s wrong with Little Orange.”
Xia Bingrou had just returned home when she saw the little cat running out of her room.
Recently, the Orange Cat kept running around and constantly tugged at her pant leg.
She used to think she could understand the thoughts of little cats, but now she couldn’t figure it out.
“Meow…”
The Orange Cat licked her calf, circling beside her.
“Is it asking me to find that person again.”
Xia Bingrou hugged the cat and returned to her bedroom, sitting at the desk lost in thought.
The Grey Cat was pretty well-behaved, still sleeping on the soft cushion in the corner of the room.
“Let’s see tomorrow.”
The expressionless girl took a book from her backpack and began to review.

“Xiaoxiao-jie has come back.”
Zhou Tongtong had been waiting in the club practice room, and now only she and Xiaoyun were left; the others had already gone home.
The Society President approached, comfortingly patting Su Xiaoxiao’s shoulder.
“You did it.”
“Mm, sort of.”
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, seeing someone around, and quietly withdrew her arm from Xiao Li’s, slowly moving away from the girl she had been close to.
“Oh?”
Xiaoyun stared at her with a meaningful gaze.
“Ahem, people in our club aren’t allowed to have boyfriends, but if it’s a girlfriend, that’s acceptable.”
“Mm..eh, what are you talking about.”
Su Xiaoxiao instantly realized something was off.
Girlfriend, where would she get a girlfriend.
But she did have a husband.
“I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Xiao Li lowered her head apologetically.
“I’ve never dated before, I was a bit naive, but Xiaoxiao told me a lot, so now I understand.”
“It’s fine, as long as you’re okay. After that incident with Feipeng, our club won’t cooperate with the Photography Club anymore. They had ulterior motives.”
The Society President thought aloud, then took the girl’s slender, pale hand.
“Xiao Li, come with me for a moment.”
“Is there something…”
“Okay.”
Xiao Li didn’t dare refuse and obediently followed.
“Jie, what does girlfriend mean? Aren’t we both girls? How can girls have girlfriends?”
After moving aside, Zhou Tongtong looked at Su Xiaoxiao with pure curiosity.
Don’t understand?
“Girls can have girlfriends too.”
Su Xiaoxiao squatted down, gazing affectionately at the little cutie before her.
“Girls can do this action too.”
As she spoke, she repeated the same gesture as last time.
That’s right, it was still the “Screw Technique”.
The screw slowly spun, driving into the nut.
“Like this… that’s right, anyone can screw together!”
The little loli watched for a moment, then suddenly understood.
“Thank you, Jie, for teaching me new knowledge again! I want to find a girlfriend to screw together too.”
“Haha… then good luck.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her, unsure what else to say.
This girl seemed to have become invincible in this kind of knowledge.
“So, Jie, have you ever screwed with someone before? Can you teach me how to do it in practice?”
Zhou Tongtong asked with a naïve, innocent expression.
“Ah, this…”
Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected that, stunned for a moment.
“I haven’t either, but soon, I’ll be a screw myself.”
She wondered if she went to see Yu-jie tonight, would she be beaten to death…
“Screw?”
Xiaoyun, who had just returned from their conversation, looked puzzled.
“What are you two talking about?”
“Xiaoxiao-jie was teaching me the Screw Technique, she’s really good!”
Zhou Tongtong turned and explained, making a circle with one hand and straightening her slender index finger with the other.
“Like this, then combine…”
Before the little loli could finish, Su Xiaoxiao, blushing, covered her mouth and grabbed her hand.
“Oh, the Screw Technique, huh. Yes, that’s true.”
Xiaoyun understood the gesture and smirked.
“Then, Xiaoxiao, do your best to screw.”
“What do you mean do your best? Don’t say weird things.”
Su Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed she squatted on the ground, unwilling to move.
“Screw?”
Xiao Li, who followed behind, also blushed slightly.
“Mm-mm, Xiaoxiao-jie taught me the Screw Technique, and Xiaoyun-jie knows it too.”
Zhou Tongtong broke free and continued.
“Ah?”
Xiao Li stared in confusion.
“What are you talking about?”
“Nothing, we were just chatting earlier.”
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly stood up and grabbed Xiao Li’s hand.
“It’s getting late, let’s head home too.”
“Oh-ho, so direct.”
Xiaoyun teased.
“It’s fine, if it’s you, I’m happy for you. By the way, this is your chocolate.”
“Ah?”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned by the words.
“For this week’s convention event, you’re Vanilla, don’t forget again.”
Xiaoyun patted little Zhou Tongtong’s head.
“We’ll go first.”
“Eh, I want to go with Xiaoxiao-jie…”
Before Zhou Tongtong could finish, she was dragged away.
“Eh.”
Su Xiaoxiao just realized that the people who had been standing beside her a moment ago had disappeared.
“Wow, why did you all run off so fast?”
“Let’s go too, I don’t have any more practice today.”
Like before, Xiao Li came closer and hooked her arm around her, the soft sensation making her heart skip.
It was a shame that Senior Su Xin wasn’t here; otherwise, she could have leaned on her too.
“Mm.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, her face flushed.
Feeling the girl’s gentleness, she thought how nice it would be if she were the person she’d liked for five years.
But it was just a passing thought.
They kept this position until they reached near the Summer End station, where they finally parted.
On the way, Xiao Li kept chatting and asking her many things, most of them about childhood.
Even though Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know, the stories she made up were quite believable———her parents had little money, she lived in a remote place during elementary and middle school, and only moved to the small alleys nearby in high school.
“Oh right, I need to buy blankets.”
The white-haired girl suddenly remembered as she walked.
It was a request from Yu Xueqin, who told her to buy three or four for use during the holidays.
Su Xiaoxiao recalled the sizes she’d been told and went to the right store to buy three.
“Uh…”
But after buying them, things became troublesome.
Standing at the store entrance, the small girl stared at the three large bundles stacked higher than herself and froze.
Fortunately, the people passing by were kind.
Some older girls shopping together noticed her, asked about her situation, and offered help, carrying everything right to her doorstep.
“People these days are so kind.”
After thanking them, Su Xiaoxiao arrived at her front door.
If she’d met such people before, maybe she wouldn’t have done such things.
“Squeak..”
She used her key to slowly open the door, not ringing the bell for fear of waking Yu-jie.
After a bit of fuss, she moved the three big bundles into the living room.
As before, the white-haired girl first went looking for Yu Xueqin.
She hadn’t slept today, and the crack under her door was lit, but she still wouldn’t let her in.
Although she didn’t know what was going on, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have the right to interfere.
She just focused on making dinner and cleaning the house.
