Chapter 187 - 189: Lackey_1
Li Qiao remained silent as Xue Sufen continued knocking on the door panel, "I know you’re at home, the sixth window from the left in the front row is right across from my room. I saw you just now when I was drawing the curtains."
Li Qiao had no choice but to open the door, "What do you want?"
Xue Sufen smiled, "I was hoping you’d go ice skating with me."
Li Qiao raised an eyebrow. They had ice skating in the seventies? The tickets must be really expensive, right? If someone is offered a gratuitous favor, they must be up to no good. "I’m not interested."
Xue Sufen attempted to tempt Li Qiao with delicious food, "How about coming to my place for some crab?"
Li Qiao was indeed tempted, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Accepting gifts could lead to obligations. She resolutely resisted the temptation, "Thank you, but there’s no need."
Li Qiao was impervious to persuasion, and Xue Sufen, out of tricks, muttered something under her breath and left.
Li Qiao locked the door again.
Xue Sufen had nearly reached the entrance of the alleyway when Cheng Shuqin approached her, "Sufen, what about Li Qiao?"
"She absolutely refuses to come out."
Cheng Shuqin was deeply disappointed. She had planned to drag Li Qiao to the ice rink for an appearance. Given Li Qiao’s looks, she would surely attract the attention of the hedonistic youths there. Once they started fighting over Li Qiao, Shuqin could report it to the school, and it would spell trouble for Li Qiao. Not willing to give up, she said, "Sufen, could you please ask her again?"
