A Bookworm’s New Routine - Chapter 11

After a dreamless night, Mu Qi woke up the next day feeling like she had been sleepwalking for the past few days.

“Qi-ge!” Hu Ying had gotten up ten minutes early today, and at this moment, just happened to bump into her outside her door.

“So early today?” Mu Qi closed the door and went downstairs with her.

“I’ll see if you’re doing well or not, and if not, just stay home and keep sleeping. I’ll help you ask for a leave.” Hu Ying said as she lifted the schoolbag on her shoulder.

Mu Qi embraced her shoulders and with a smile on her lips, she said: “No, it’s much better. My head is clear now.”

Hu Ying worriedly glanced at her and found that she was indeed more energetic, so she felt relieved, and then she said: “Qi-ge, didn’t you say that you are in great shape? Why did you collapse?”

This question caused the smile on the corner of Mu Qi’s mouth to freeze, and when Hu Ying didn’t take note of it, she flashed it away quickly, slapped the back of her head and said: “You also said that you drink a lot, but don’t you just pour one glass every time?”

Hu Ying: “…Fuck.” Then the two looked at each other and laughed.

Walking towards the front of the community, Mu Qi (!) reflexively stopped and looked left and right.

(!) Instead of Mu Qi, the original text said 慕子瑶 (MuZiYao). I’m not sure if this is supposed to mean something else (if it’s a pun, or if it’s just a typo) so I just left it as Mu Qi. (Though ‘ZiYao’ is supposed to mean ‘precious child’)

“Huh, where’s the Little Cutie?” Hu Ying also stopped. In the past few months, every time they walked to the front of the community, they could see Su Yanxi’s figure, however, they didn’t see it today.

Mu Qi frowned, and said: “Maybe she went to school. Let’s go.”

However, after arriving at school, there was no sign of Su Yanxi at all. Mu Qi sat in her seat and was still thinking that the girl would not be late, but by the end of the morning self-study, the girl hadn’t arrived.

She tried to make a phone call, but there was always a constant prompt that the phone was off, which made her more irritable. Finally, she got up and went to the office, and the answer she got was that the girl was sick and had a high fever.

When Hu Ying heard this, her first reaction was to look at Mu Qi.

Mu Qi tilted towards her: “What are you looking at me for?”

Naemjyu’s note: I was working on this when Weebly suddenly logged me out so I lost me progress… Anyways, anyone here listen to TWICE? Who else is psyched for the new album?
