Xi Chenxiao was shocked as he looked at Su Jin who suddenly got up. But since she asked him for the time, he naturally had to tell her. All’s well as long as she didn’t pick up the call. Xi Chenxiao glanced at his phone and said,

“It’s 7:32 a.m. now!”

When Su Jin heard that it was already past seven, she quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the wardrobe to look for clothes. Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin in confusion. Shouldn’t she be resting today? Xi Chenxiao asked in puzzlement,

“It’s Sunday today. There’s no need to go to school!”

Moreover, Xi Chenxiao had specially take the day off so he could spend the whole day with Su Jin. But this girl suddenly got up and was about to leave. Su Jin dressed quickly and said without turning her head,

“Mm, I know, but I have a piano competition!”

Xi Chenxiao was puzzled when he heard this. What piano competition? She hadn’t mentioned it before and there was no such competition at her school either! Could she have signed up for a competition outside? Xi Chenxiao asked,

“What piano competition? Why haven’t you mention it before?”

Su Jin did not take this matter seriously at all. She only wanted to make Hou Wan’er happy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have entered any piano competition. Su Jin got dressed and walked to the bathroom quickly.

“It’s not something important. I forgot to tell you.”

Xi Chenxiao was speechless when he heard this. With Su Jin’s piano skills, a competition was probably nothing to her. It’s normal that she forgot. Wouldn’t she just be bullying children there?

After Su Jin washed up, she picked up her phone. 7:52 a.m. and she saw all the missed calls from Hou Wan’er. Why didn’t Xi Chenxiao tell her that Hou Wan’er called? There wasn’t much time left, so Su Jin did not think too much about it and quickly called Hou Wan’er,

“Wan’er, give me the address now, I’ll go over right away!”

Hou Wan’er thought that Su Jin had forgotten about the matter again and that she probably wouldn’t show up today. She didn’t expect Su Jin to call her back. More importantly, Su Jin actually did not know the venue of the competition! Hou Wan’er immediately replied,

“Okay, I’ll send you the address right away. Hurry up, the competition will begin soon.”

After hanging up, Hou Wan’er immediately sent the address to Su Jin and hoped that she wouldn’t be late. There were many talented pianists in this competition, and it was their chance to compete on stage for real. If she missed it, goodness knew when they would get another chance!

Xi Chenxiao also got up and quickly washed up. He put on a suit, tidied up his cuffs and handed a tie that he just picked out to Su Jin.

“Help me put on this tie, I’ll send you to the competition venue!”

Su Jin smiled as she took the tie and carefully put it on for Xi Chenxiao. Then, the two of them left. At 8:59 a.m., Su Jin arrived at the competition venue and found Hou Wan’er.

“Wan’er, I’m not late, am I?”

Hou Wan’er had been waiting anxiously for Su Jin, worried that she’d be late. Hou Wan’er knew that with Su Jin’s skills, it would be a pity if she got disqualified because she was late! Hou Wan’er looked at her watch and said,

“Mm, there’s still a minute left, and you’re not late!”

Su Jin saw Hou Wan’er’s displeasure and smiled awkwardly. It was all Xi Chenxiao’s fault that they slept so late last night. It’s already very good that they could get up this morning. Luckily, she wasn’t late. Su Jin replied with slight embarrassment,

“Of course, I can’t be late. I have impeccable timing!”

Hou Wan’er was even angrier when she heard this. She had already reminded Su Jin last night and yet this happened. Fortunately, Su Jin made it in time. It would be a real pity if she was late. Hou Wan’er replied unhappily,

“You still got the cheek to say that? If I hadn’t called you, you might have been disqualified for being late. Don’t you know?”

Su Jin didn’t expect Hou Wan’er to be so unhappy. Fortunately, she made it. Hou Wan’er would be alright after some coaxing. In order to resolve the awkwardness, Su Jin immediately changed the subject,

“What? Disqualified if we’re late? Isn’t that a bit too strict?”

“Besides, look at the crowd here. Even if we’re on time, we might not be able to enter the mall right away, right?”

Hou Wan’er’s expression became even worse when she heard this. How dare Su Jin say this now? What if they were really disqualified? Hou Wan’er replied flatly,

“Being late is not being punctual. Shouldn’t one be disqualified?”
