"Are you sure you're okay now?"
"Yes,"
"Do you even have enough energy to stand?"
"Carry me then."
Taking her words seriously, Jiaqi lifted Xueer bridal style. The latter was so flustered that her ears became red in an instant.
"H-hey, I was just j-joking. I can walk on my own."
Jiaqi looked at her uncertainly before carefully placing her down on her feet.
At first, her legs weren't able to carry her weight making her lean on the taller. Jiaqi held her by the waist and helps her up again. After a few seconds, her energy slowly comes back and she was able to stand by herself.
But not even a minute after doing so, the infirmary door flew open with an extremely worried Shuxin running towards Xueer.
The noirette panicked and went behind Jiaqi to use her as a shield. The latter was more than willing to be her shield since she doesn't want anyone tackling her girlfriend with her current state.
Shuxin huffed a breath upon seeing the action and crossed her arms, pretending to be mad at them.
"Oh don't be mad, xiao Yu. She's just a little weaker today. Both of you might end up on the floor if you come running to her like that."
Hearing that, Shuxin got rid of her façade. She pulled Jiaqi out of the way and held Xueer in her shoulders while she bombard her with questions of concern.
Jiaqi watches them with a pout. Keni, who went Shuxin, chuckles as she sees the bluenette's expression.
"Since when did she start coddling Xueer. Hmph."
Keni laughs and pats her head.
"Don't worry, you're still my favorite child."
The bluenette gives her an adorable smile followed with a hug. Keni hugged her back as the two girls watches Xueer struggle with Shuxin.
~~~~~~~~~
A sigh passes by the noirette's lips as they walk to the studio.
"Did you deal with that before?" she asks the bluenette beside her pertaining about the whole Shuxin thing.
"Yes,"
"And you didn't even help me?"
Jiaqi shrugs. "Everyone needs to experience that at least one. You're actually lucky she let you go right after."
Xueer gives her a curious look, "What do you mean?"
"Usually, you gotta show her that you're in good shape again for her to leave you alone. Otherwise, she's gonna stick to you like glue."
"I had to run a mile before just so I can escape from her." Jiaqi shivers, while Xueer laughs at her. "It's nice though. It makes recovery less boring."
Xueer nods and looks at her curiously when she saw Jiaqi making her to the stairs.
"I thought we're gonna go to the studio?" she asks.
"We are," Jiaqi replies. "Just not there. Come on."
She give her a smile and outstretch her hand, waiting for Xueer to take it.
~~~~~~~~~
Jiaqi took Xueer at a very big dance studio (reserved only for the seniors and her friends) on the very top floor.
The noirette's eyes shined upon seeing how spacious the studio is. She slowly walked inside and roamed her eyes while Jiaqi walks to the corner.
"Snowflake?" she called. "Come here."
Xueer walked to her and watch Jiaqi push a camouflaging door.
Inside, there was a king sized bed in the middle, an mini arcade on the right side, and a shelf full of books on the left side. In front of the bed was a fifty-five inch TV installed on the wall.
Jiaqi went straight to the bed and patted the space beside her. Instead of lying beside her girlfriend, Xueer decided that it will be more comfortable if she lied on top of her. And she did that, while facing the taller.
The bluenette didn't complain and even hugged her on the waist and noses her hair. In return, Xueer nuzzles her face on the crook of the taller's neck.
The two of them silently stayed in that position until Xueer remembered something. She propped herself with her elbows and looked at the taller.
"What did you talk about in the gym, by the way?"
Before answering, Jiaqi couldn't help but peck her lips first. A smiled makes its way on Xueer's lips after making Jiaqi do the same.
"So...?"
"Well...it's just a reminder about the one-week festival event that the campus holds during this time of the year."
Xueer tilts her head. "Oh...?"
"Yeah. The first three days are exclusive for the students of the campus while the last two days is an open gate." she explains. "Students would prepare different stalls, a friendly competition between the high school department and college department and a wrap up event on the last day."
"What happens in the wrap up event??"
"It's mostly special performances from different departments and a thank you speech from the principal."
Xueer nods her head while her eyes glint with interest.
"Are you gonna do anything special then?"
Jiaqi thinks for a while before she decides, she'd just want to enjoy the festival without thinking about preparing for anything. But before she could voice out her thoughts, the bluenette's phone lit up to show a message from Keran.
Jiaqi chuckled at the timing of the message.
"What is it?" Xueer curiously asks.
"Apparently, the captain for the high school basketball team asked Keran for a friendly competition." Jiaqi laughs. "There goes my original plan."
Xueer chuckles as well and asks if she'll join.
"Well, the captain's asking me to join. I can't say no to that now, can I?"
Xueer gives her a peck.
"It's a perfect chance to show me how good you are at the sport." she smiles. "And you look excited too. Your eyes are shining with excitement."
Jiaqi laughs.
"It's been a while since I've played basketball, let alone touch the ball. I'd definitely be excited." she grins.
"Just be careful, okay?" Xueer says. "Don't get hurt and know your limits."
Jiaqi nods her head and gives the girl a peck on the forehead, on the nose and a kiss on the lips.
"Hold onto your heart when you see me play."
