After Transmigration, The Male Lead and I had a HE - Chapter 224

Xie Xinglin didn’t speak this time and he stared at her for a while with his chin up.

Then he reached out and clasped her hand that was firmly holding onto the pen. He raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why is it more important than me? Can’t I bring you happiness?”

Su Qiuge watched him hold her hand this publicly before she removed his fingers one by one. Setting aside the pen, she intertwined her fingers with his under the desk.

Su Qiuge glanced around, “Don’t be like this; others will find out about us.”

Xie Xinglin disagreed, “So what if they did?”

Halfway through his sentence, he leaned in slightly and took her clasped hands into his arms. Hoarsely, he added, “You don’t actually plan on leaving me without an official title forever, do you?”

Su Qiuge, “?”

Su Qiuge wanted to refute, what do you mean without an official title? Don’t speak of things as if I’m secretly having a relationship with a concubine, alright?

There were quite a lot of young couples in their grade now and even the core subject teachers have become more open-minded. In fact, Zhao Minghua even openly said that she was completely different from the old and traditional Director Xu. She didn’t really mind the students falling in love, merely encouraging it if both romantic parties constantly motivate and improve each other for the better.

But last month, Su Qiuge just placed second in her grade. If the matter between her and Xie Xinglin spread out, it would become—

‘A relationship between first and second place of the school?’

Just thinking of what kind of bloodshed and chaos there would be on the school forum, Su Qiuge felt that it would be better to keep a low profile.

Who would have thought that Xie Xinglin ended up staring at her all along. Then, he raised his eyebrows slightly as his expressions slowly morphed into comprehension and said in an ambiguous tone, “Perhaps… you have a thing for relationships that look like an affair?”

Su Qiuge, “…”

What the hell??

They didn’t hold onto each other for long when a righteous cry came from the back door.

“Su! Qiu! Ge!”

This cry made everyone who was either chatting or doing homework in the classroom turn their heads, looking towards her.

Even Tang Jie, who was next to Su Qiuge, looked over.

If they hadn’t looked, things would have been fine; but since they did, their gazes were now rather different.

Then, a group of people let out a low hum, “Ohh~”.

Su Qiuge quickly took her hand back from Xie Xinglin, truly feeling what it was like to have an affair that was caught on the spot.

At this time, Xie Xinglin said unhurriedly, “No wonder you like it, I too find it quite exciting.”

Exciting? As if!

Su Qiuge looked at Su Yuanzhou who was outside the classroom, leaning against the door. She then got up slowly and walked towards him against the ambiguous gaze of the entire class.

The reason why Su Yuanzhou shouted that loud was, of course, because he saw the scene just now. He was almost going to say what he wanted, but with so many people present, he decided to merely pull her aside once Su Qiuge got to him. Su Yuanzhou took her hand and scrutinized it carefully. It wasn’t enough, so he leaned in and sniffed it, as if he was examining a corpse in a funeral parlor. Then, he took out a tissue and began to rub her hand the way one would scrub clothes. After rubbing it for a long time till her skin turned red, he angrily asked, “Where else did he touch you?”

Su Qiuge ignored him, and instead looked at Gao Jing who stood behind Su Yuanzhou. That look was probably—

“Gao Jing, why did you open the door and let Su Yuanzhou go?”

Gao Jing turned his head and coughed lightly as Su Qiuge asked, “Xie Xinglin and I are discussing some questions, so what’s your business with me?”

Su Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows, “Can’t I seek you if I have nothing to do?”

Su Qiuge didn’t want to have such a naive exchange with him, so she tilted her head and said, “The final exams are coming soon, have you finished your review?”

Su Yuanzhou suddenly became strangely silent.

Unexpectedly, Su Qiuge asked him such a suffocating and depressing question.

At this moment, Xie Xinglin walked towards them and Su Yuanzhou didn’t know why, but suddenly, he came up with a wonderful idea. He pointed to Xie Xinglin and said to Su Qiuge, “This person is chasing you, right? I haven’t finished my studies yet, so you can ask him to show some sincerity for you and have him help me with my studies.”

Since this person was taking advantage of Su Qiuge under the guise of tutoring, he wanted to deal some damage to the guy as well.

But his brilliant plan made its way into the ears of others, turning their thoughts into a string of garbled characters and question marks.

Xie Xinglin, “?”

Gao Jing, “?”

Was he even making sense?

Xie Xinglin tutoring Su Yuanzhou in his academics?

This sentence consisted of words that made sense individually, but when put together, there was absolutely no meaning to it.

Gao Jing held his forehead on the sidelines and sighed deeply.

His family had a husky back then and he could never predict the dog’s next move. Whether it was to claw at the ground and be incompetent yet furious, treat the pillows as enemies and bite them or give the door one more hole, the husky was constantly causing shock and surprisement.

It was practically similar to how he could never be able to predict what Su Yuanzhou’s next move would be.
