Chapter 51 : Embarrassing Things

Not long after, the sounds of people and footsteps gradually filling the classroom woke them from their sleep.

“Ugh…”

Song Qiuyu rubbed her eyes.

Still not having slept enough, her face was filled with fatigue, as if she were sleepwalking.

Her mind didn’t feel like her own; it was more like it had just been gnawed by zombies, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

“Ding!” A new QQ message popped up on her phone.

She lazily looked over.

[Head of Drama Club]: Sorry, junior. I just woke up. Where are you two now?

Seeing this, Song Qiuyu froze.

“Uh.”

Jiang Xiao rubbed his eyes, but the hand cuffed by the handcuffs was suddenly and uncontrollably lifted.

This was because Song Qiuyu had suddenly stood up, startling him.

What was wrong?

“Jiang Xiao, the head of the Drama Club replied!”

A smile blossomed on Song Qiuyu’s well-behaved face, and her eyes sparkled with light.

Jiang Xiao was stunned.

Song Qiuyu quickly sat down, hiding the handcuffs that were almost exposed.

Then, she opened the QQ pop-up, unlocking her phone.

She didn’t reply with their classroom location; instead, she arranged a more central meeting spot to minimize the time it would take to get the key.

Then, she rushed over with Jiang Xiao.

In a flash, the handcuffs were unlocked.

The head of the Drama Club sighed in relief, Jiang Xiao sighed in relief, and for Song Qiuyu, the stone heavy on her heart finally fell to the ground.

Phew~

It was finally off.

She no longer had to be tied to Jiang Xiao’s fate and could avoid such dangerous situations.

“Juniors, you must put the key away properly this time. If there’s a next time, and what if my phone breaks or something, and I can’t be reached for even longer, what will you two do then?”

The head of the Drama Club wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He really hadn’t expected them to have this kind of problem before lending them these props.

Jiang Xiao remained silent.

Song Qiuyu unconsciously imagined it, and a chill ran down her spine.

That would be hell.

The head of the Drama Club left.

With ten minutes left before class, Song Qiuyu temporarily parted ways with Jiang Xiao and rushed back to her dorm, quickly changing out of her pajamas and getting fully dressed.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, then hurried out to class.

The first class that afternoon was Documentary Appreciation and Criticism.

Mid-way through, Song Qiuyu keenly noticed Jiang Xiao picking up his phone, just like before, and starting to message her private account.

Thinking of the messages he had been sending, she felt his situation was like writing a diary and also like reporting his daily schedule to her.

Recalling their embarrassing predicament today, her heart skipped a beat.

This guy, Haki Xiao, isn’t going to talk about her again, is he?!

Like how they were handcuffed, or even how she “leaked”?

She didn’t know what he would say.

Her hands tightened, and she turned her face away in shame, her neck subtly flushing red.

Fortunately, this message was sent to herself!

Jiang Xiao finished sending the message right on time and put away his phone.

Song Qiuyu held her breath.

Looking at the phone by her hand, her fingers, holding the blue ballpoint pen, moved slightly.

Her eyes were cast down, and it felt like fire was burning in her chest.

It made her restless.

What exactly did Jiang Xiao send today?

She really wanted to see.

She composed herself, picked up her phone, but only glanced at her living expenses: ten yuan for black silk stockings, which, after being split among four people, meant she only spent two yuan and fifty cents.

Adding today’s meal expenses…

It was still alright; her spending was still under control.

As for the evening, the plan was to film the scene where Jiang Xiao puts the black stockings over his head.

To avoid financial struggles, they had to make sure the short video turned out well.

And the messages? She’d just have to sneak a peek whenever an opportunity arose.

The rest of the classes passed uneventfully.

However, Song Qiuyu had no chances in between.

Since that incident in the morning, and unless she really couldn’t hold it, she temporarily didn’t want to enter the men’s restroom again.

She could only give up on the idea for now and decided to wait until she returned to the dorm at night, climbed onto her bed, pulled the curtains, and then secretly looked.

As night fell, some classrooms in the teaching building still had their lights on.

Most were society clubs holding their regular meetings.

Among them were also post-graduate students studying, who had come because the library was full.

To ensure a relatively quiet filming environment and not disturb others, Dorm 602 once again chose an empty teaching building and went inside.

Click! The light turned on.

“No one should bother us here. The moment of truth has arrived!” Xie Zhuran smiled, looking at the unopened pack of black stockings Song Qiuyu had brought out.

“Don’t be too nervous, it’s just putting black stockings over your head.”

Lin An was giving Jiang Xiao a pep talk.

“Jiang Xiao, believe in yourself, you can do it!”

Song Qiuyu encouraged him, her fingertips pinching the corner of the packaging.

She held the entire package, looking at it back and forth, found the opening, and prepared to tear it open.

Jiang Xiao quietly watched her tear it.

The light from the incandescent lamp spilled onto her face.

Although the distance wasn’t as close as when they were handcuffed, he still seemed to see those tiny, soft fuzzes under the light.

The seal of the packaging bag had already been pried open a corner by her beautiful fingertips.

Song Qiuyu also seemed quite eager to see him with the black stockings over his head.

His own acceptance of this matter was actually quite good.

More than putting on the black stockings, he was more worried that he wouldn’t play the pervert role well.

He would drag them down.

Just then, the sound of high heels approached the classroom doorway.

A few of them paused slightly, looking towards the sound, and met their advisor’s smiling eyes.

At that moment, the pressure in their hearts suddenly doubled.

The advisor motioned for them not to mind her and to continue with what they were doing.

That’s what she said, but her hand honestly picked up her phone, clearly ready to capture their embarrassing moments at any time.

Their advisor seemed a little mischievously bad.

“Phew…”

Song Qiuyu closed her eyes and exhaled, her fingertips tightening on the packaging bag, tearing open the seal.

She took out the entire pair of black stockings from inside.

With two fingers of each hand, she gripped the waist part and gently shook open the whole stocking.

The soft, pliable stockings were long, almost touching the floor. She raised her hands a bit more.

The four of them, inexperienced with stockings, fixated their gazes on these black stockings, their eyes full of novelty.

At the back of the classroom, the experienced advisor had already started to laugh, raising her phone and shifting positions to film them.

However, when her gaze fell on the area between the two legs of the stockings, she suddenly froze for a moment.

These stockings…

They seemed a bit improper?

Before the advisor could remind them, Song Qiuyu, holding the stockings, soon noticed this crucial detail.

She tilted her head, staring intently at that spot.

Genuine stockings should be seamless, but at this moment, there was a seam there.

Song Qiuyu frowned, slightly puzzled.

Was there some deeper meaning to this design? Wait, this seam’s location… could it be… could it be…

“Cough, cough, your stockings—”

The advisor couldn’t hold back, speaking and laughing at the same time, covering her forehead, embarrassed to directly point it out: “Where did you buy these stockings?”

“A large supermarket outside the campus.”

Jiang Xiao answered calmly.

Xie Zhuran and Lin An looked blankly at the advisor, not understanding why she was laughing.

“Stockings usually have different sections, did you perhaps go to the wrong section?”

The advisor continued helplessly.

It was fine until the advisor said that, but once she did, it completely confused the four first-year boys who knew nothing about stockings.

Song Qiuyu was the first to react, biting her lip with her pearly teeth, her heart racing, looking back at the black stockings in her hand in disbelief.

So, it was indeed specifically designed for those embarrassing activities?
