Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 388
Chapter 388: You Are Little Flame
The entire class fell silent again.
After a while—Pfft!
Seeing that Xie Yingying had drunk the drink, Li Zixia nervously took a sip and suppressed her feelings. When she heard those words though, she was shocked upon understanding what it meant. The drink in her mouth was spat out.
After she was done, everyone turned to look at her. Her face was red as she stuttered, “How can that be? Isn’t Sister Xi’s boyfriend an old man?!”
How was Instructor Xiang old?!
Instructor Li had introduced himself before. He was only 20 years old this year. When Instructor Xiang stood beside him, other than being more dignified, he looked even younger than Instructor Li!
The corners of Xiang “old man” Huai’s lips twitched as he tried his best to suppress the anger in his eyes.
If Li Zixia were not Xue Xi’s dormitory mate, she would probably have been killed by Xiang Huai’s gaze!
Why must she emphasize the word “old”?
He was in his prime, so how was he old? Wasn’t this age just the right time to use it?
Cough!
Wang Wei was already in shock and disbelief. She looked at Xue Xi and then at Xiang Huai. At this moment, she felt as though she was a joke.
After all this, it was all a misunderstanding.
Putting aside why Xue Xi had given He Gao water, the matter about the instructor and her boyfriend was just a misunderstanding.
Feeling extremely ashamed, she lowered her head.
Liu Zhao clenched her fists.
At this moment, the rest of the classes had already ended. When it was time for dinner, Xiang Huai said, “Dismissed!”
He turned to look at Xue Xi.
Xue Xi turned to look at Xie Yingying and shot her a glance, indicating that they would not be having dinner together tonight.
As Xie Yingying drank her yogurt drink, she waved her hand. “Go on, go on! Go date! Sigh, why is the drink in my hand suddenly sour? It’s filled with the stench of love!”
How helpless.
After Xue Xi and Xiang Huai left, the rest dared to move. However, no one had any intention of leaving because the news just now was too shocking.
Everyone discussed:
“I’d felt that something was amiss when Instructor Xiang came last time. He’d helped Xue Xi scold He Gao and even took Xue Xi away…”
“Ah, now that I think about it, it’s actually like this! When Instructor Xiang announced his relationship with Xue Xi, it was so sweet! Why do I feel that Instructor Xiang is so sweet?!”
“Don’t think about it. That’s only for Xue Xi. When he looks at us, that face is so scary!”
“…”
While everyone was talking, Wang Wei approached Liu Zhao.
In her heart, she was blaming Liu Zhao for making her look so ugly. However, just as she walked over and was about to say something, Liu Zhao panicked. “Sorry, I didn’t know. She didn’t say anything… She said that her boyfriend is much older than her. I-I thought that he was a middle-aged man, but I didn’t expect…”
Her eyes turned red.
Wang Wei: “…”
Wang Wei had a straightforward personality and did not think too much about things. Seeing her like this, she was too embarrassed to argue further. “Forget it, shall we go eat?”
Liu Zhao shook her head. “You go first. I-I’ll find a chance to apologize to Xue Xi. I’ll explain that all of this is my responsibility.”
Wang Wei: “…Alright.”
Actually, after the truth was revealed, Wang Wei should have gone to apologize. However, Xue Xi had left with Xiang Huai, and she felt embarrassed to apologize in public. Now that Liu Zhao was willing to apologize for her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After Wang Wei left, Liu Zhao walked toward Li Zixia and Xie Yingying.
When Xie Yingying saw Liu Zhao, she snorted and walked in front.
While Liu Zhao and Li Zixia were walking behind her, Li Zixia was still in shock. “Liu Zhao, why do I feel like I’m dreaming? Is Instructor Xiang really Sister Xi’s boyfriend?”
Liu Zhao lowered her head and shot a glance at Xie Yingying. “That’s right. Xie Yingying doesn’t seem surprised at all. It’s as though she already knew.”
Li Zixia was stunned.
Liu Zhao lowered her head. “Actually, Xue Xi could have just said that Instructor Xiang is her boyfriend. She didn’t say anything and made us misunderstand. It seems that she only told the truth to Xie Yingying.”
Li Zixia instantly felt uncomfortable.
Everyone was in the same dormitory. Ever since school started, Li Zixia had been wanting to be friends with Xue Xi. Xie Yingying knew about this, but others did not. It did not feel good, as though… she was excluded.
Liu Zhao sighed. “No wonder. After all, when school started, Xie Yingying and Xue Xi were already on good terms. It’s a little difficult for us to get in.”
Li Zixia became even more unhappy.
She was unhappy.
However, she had always been a person who would say whatever she wanted. She quickly took two steps forward and arrived beside Xie Yingying. She asked, “Did you already know that Sister Xi’s boyfriend is Instructor Xiang?”
Xie Yingying took another sip of the yogurt drink and burped as if she was fed dog food. She then said, “That’s right. Xiang Huai accompanied Sister Xi to the IMO competition! At that time, Sister Xi didn’t say anything. It was Xiang Huai who said it later!”
Li Zixia: “?”
She felt a little better. So that’s how it was.
However, she asked further, “Then why didn’t you tell us? Sister Xi was the same. She didn’t say anything.”
Xie Yingying rolled her eyes. “Let me ask you. Are you convinced that Sister Xi should be the role model?”
Li Zixia: “Yes.”
Xie Yingying continued, “Then if I’d told you from the start that Instructor Xiang was Sister Xi’s boyfriend and asked Sister Xi to be the role model, would you still be convinced?”
Li Zixia was stunned and opened her mouth.
This was really hard to say. Everyone would have thought that Xue Xi had relied on connections to climb up the ranks.
Xie Yingying continued, “Let me tell you something else. Sister Xi is very low-profile and doesn’t like to be flamboyant. Did you see her flaunting her full marks in the college entrance examination?”
The last discomfort in Li Zixia’s heart disappeared.
Everyone had different personalities. Even if Xue Xi did not say it, it did not mean that she did not want to be friends with her.
After coming to a realization, she turned around and thought about the distance in her heart. She suddenly sensed that something was amiss. The moment she found out that Xiang Huai was Xue Xi’s boyfriend, she was shocked, but she was not angry nor jealous.
But why was she jealous just now?
She turned to look at Liu Zhao and her eyes flickered.
Sister Xi had once said that she and Liu Zhao were not the same kind of people. Li Zixia subconsciously distanced herself from Liu Zhao.
Just as the three of them entered the dining room, they saw everyone pointing at something.
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying followed everyone’s directions and looked over. They were instantly speechless because Instructor Xiang and Xue Xi were having dinner at the canteen.
Opposite them sat an unwilling He Gao.
Everyone: “…” What kind of strange scene was this?
At the same time, Xue Xi ate a mouthful of braised pork and was speaking. “I saw you in the IMO, so you can’t lie to me.”
She looked up at He Gao. “You’re Little Flame.”
