The sky was already dark by the time the rehearsal ended.
The student council wanted to treat them to dinner.
Qingqing circled around to Ying Jing's side. "Do you want to stay for dinner? If you don't feel like it but are too shy to decline, I'll leave with you."
She hadn't done anything wrong, so there was no need to avoid it.
If she couldn't handle this, she wouldn't cope with school life in the coming years.
"Of course! Why not go when there's free food and drink?"
"Miss Qingqing, don't you know your own worth? Would you really want to take advantage of such a small benefit?"
Ying Jing just smiled and didn't say anything. She felt that there was no need to hide from things she was supposed to face. Once or twice was understandable, but you can't keep ignoring them forever.
"I haven't done anything wrong, so why can't I position myself right? It's better to be straightforward. The student council hasn't hesitated to exploit us, might as well eat to recoup some costs."
