Chapter 69

There was even an expression on her face as if she was seriously discussing academic topics.

Gao Jing was stunned, but Su Yuanzhou was upset when he heard Su Qiuge’s inexplicable praise of Xie Xinglin. He was unhappy, “What, are you saying that I need to trick others then?”

Su Qiuge: ?

What kind of logic is that? Does this person get full marks in reading comprehension?

As she thought of this, Su Qiuge looked him up and down. Then, she very sincerely said, “With how you are, it’s still unknown if you need to trick or not.”

Su Yuanzhou: ???

Su Yuanzhou sneered, “Before you pretended to not know me, and now you’re quarrelling with me over an irrelevant person?”

Su Qiuge: ?

Previously, it was because she didn’t know, and even then, she didn’t treat Su Yuanzhou like an enemy despite not liking him. It was obviously his own tone that was aggressive, how did it turn into them quarreling.

Ugh.

Scumbag.

Gao was used to being the peacemaker, so he smiled and said, “Xiao Su’s right, but that place also isn’t a good place. It will inevitably cause misunderstandings.”

“Plus,” Gao Jing recalled the last time when Xie Xinglin had beaten Su Yuanzhou to the point that he wasn’t able to fight back at all. He turned towards Su Qiuge and said, “You don’t really know Xie Xinglin either. He isn’t what he appears on the surface.”

Although Su Qiuge often wanted to gnash her teeth in anger whenever Xie Xinglin put on an act at school as if he was some moviestar, she still felt a little unhappy when she heard someone else slandering her seatmate.

After all, Xie Xinglin and the current her now had a revolutionary friendship. She hadn’t forgotten how this moviestar disregarded their past enmity and carried her on his back to the school infirmary.

Su Qiuge picked up the fork, “If you’re talking about how he participates in fights, I already know.”

Gao Jing was stunned, “You know?”

Su Qiuge nodded her head, “I saw it, he’s pretty good.”

Su Yuanzhou, who sat to the side, was not used to Su Qiuge complimenting Xie Xinglin. He sneered softly as he leaned on the chair and rolled his eyes. Then he said with a disdainful expression, “Tch, he’s just so-so.”

Gao Jing immediately followed suit and rolled his own eyes as well.

Just so-so?

The way he talked, it was as if the person who Xie Xinglin had nearly beaten to the ground last time wasn’t him.

Gao Jing didn’t refute him in front of Su Qiuge, but he thought for a moment and continued, “Xie Xinglin, this person…isn’t easy. He’s completely different inside and outside of school.”

After a pause, he added, “But everyone at school thinks he’s a virtuous student with top marks and good behavior.”

Although Gao Jing was very tactful with his words,Su Qiuge felt that, intentionally or otherwise, it alluded to Xie Xinglin being a schemer and not a good person.

So Su Qiuge wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, then raised her eyes to look at him and said, “So you know Xie Xinglin very well?”

Gao Jing was stunned and listened as Su Qiuge earnestly continued, “If you didn’t know him and decided to have this judgement based on one event, then you’re just like everyone else and don’t really understand him.”

Gao Jing didn’t respond. Su Yuanzhou frowned slightly when he heard this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gao Jing was silent for a moment before he smiled, “True. Xiao Su and Xie Xinglin are classmates, so it wouldn’t be surprising if you knew him better than I do.”

He pondered for a moment before he finally invited her, “Brother Yuan and I are going to a club to hang out this evening. Xiao Su, do you want to go together?”

After Su Qiuge left, Su Yuanzhou, who had been quiet this whole time, picked up a fork from the table and knocked it against Gao Jing’s head, “When did I say I was going to hang out there? Did you not shake your head enough at the club last night? I still have a newly bought game console that is waiting to be picked up from the express delivery box.”

After he thought for a moment, he cursed as he talked, “Also, that’s not a good place, why do you want her to follow along?”

On the contrary, Gao Jing seemed much calmer. He rubbed his chin as he said, “Brother Yuan, I think your sister may have been led astray by Xie Xinglin. The situation is very dangerous right now.”
