Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Even the Big Shot Has Something She Can’t Do

Sure, here’s the translation:

But Ao Chongchong did make one valid point.

Back then, Qin Xin’s first choice wasn’t medicine.

She only studied medicine to research her younger siblings’ illnesses, incidentally, and casually.

As for her hobbies...

Amidst the lively noise in the classroom, Qin Xin turned her face away and looked out at the sky through the window.

She suddenly remembered the words Mr. Nalan slowly whispered in her ear, ”I have no other hobbies, except for work, I only enjoy cloud watching and star gazing.”

When the man said this, his face was particularly calm, his tone especially steady, and in his eyes, it was as if an entire galaxy of starry lights was laid out.

Qin Xin closed her eyes.

Oh man, this guy is such a refined devil, popping up in her mind without a warning!

”Sister Xin! Sister Xin! Let’s go!”

They called her several times before she snapped back to reality.

A faint blush colored her face as she awkwardly asked, ”What?”

”Sister Xin, we’ve just booked the small park outside for a BBQ to celebrate you! Our class 2 hasn’t had a gathering this semester. We never wanted to attend when Yao Dazhuang was the class rep, but he’s gone now, so we’ve organized it ourselves!” Everyone excitedly urged her toward the door, ”Come on, Sister Xin!”

Qin Xin rubbed her forehead, ”I...”

She’s used to being alone, not accustomed to group activities.

After a moment of thought, she found an excuse, ”The scholarship competition is on Monday, I need to read and review.”

Everyone: ”...”

Sister Xin, don’t kid us. You’re not reading, you’re clearly playing on your phone!

Ao Xinghao smirked and said, ”Xin, you’ve got to eat at some point. During the BBQ, each of us will review an experiment topic with you, it won’t interfere with your studying. Plus, today we’re celebrating our success in the Weibo battle and cheering for the competition on Monday!”

Qin Xin: ”...”

She realized that when men wanted to find excuses, they were unbeatable.

Mature men like Mr. Nalan were experts at setting snares with a calm face.

Younger guys like Ao Xinghao could also rattle off convincing reasons.

She paused and said, ”But I can’t cook.”

The park BBQ was a self-service, outdoor type.

All the ingredients needed to be skewered, seasoned, and grilled by oneself.

There were also vegetables and soups that needed to be cooked in a pot over a fire, all for the fun of DIY, a common gathering spot for Imperial University students.

Cheap, delicious, and good for bonding with classmates.

Unfortunately... after studying at Imperial University for three years, Qin Xin had only heard of it, never been.

The reason was simple — she couldn’t cook.

In fact, she couldn’t even make egg fried rice, steamed eggs, or tomato egg soup.

As soon as Qin Xin finished speaking.

The entire classroom fell silent for a few seconds.

Then, everyone stifled their laughter, ”Sister Xin, you just focus on eating. Who would dare ask you to cook?”

Ah, ah, ah, they were really about to burst laughing, it turned out Sister Xin, who could smash a table with one punch and drive like a pro in a race, also had things she was completely clueless about, apart from studying!

This joke would keep them secretly amused for a year.

At the small park BBQ spot.

Qin Xin truly just sat like a boss, enjoying the whole time.

Ao Xinghao grilled skewer after skewer for her, handing them over.

Hu Yi was responsible for making mushroom and clam soup, and midway through, he took a call and almost had to leave, but was teased by Ao Xinghao, ”Hey, aren’t you going to meet that Qin Lianhua from class 1? Go on, if you leave, don’t come back!”

Hu Yi’s face turned red.

It was indeed Qin Wenrou who called him.

She said she’d organized her sophomore-year anatomy notes and asked if he wanted them.

Of course, he really wanted them!

However, Qin Wenrou asked him to pick them up now.
