Chapter 493: General Xiang Is Here!
Xue Xi quietly waited for her to finish speaking. Xie Yingying and Li Zixia, who were beside her, were furious. Before they could speak, Xue Xi coldly said, “What do you want to say?”
Gu Yunqing was stunned.
Xue Xi’s voice was very cold, making one feel refreshed in the hot summer. “I have a boyfriend. Shouldn’t I reject the person you’re talking about?”
The onlookers also said,
“That’s right. Contrary to what you’re saying, I feel that Xue Xi did the right thing. Instead of rejecting him strictly, should she have left him hanging?”
“Although this person is not bad, even if he is a rich second-generation heir, even if he is really attentive and gentle, Xue Xi already has a boyfriend!”
“I actually don’t understand what’s going on either.”
“…”
These discussions reached Gu Yunqing’s ears. She clenched her jaw and said, “Rejecting him is what you should do, but you shouldn’t humiliate others!”
Xue Xi: “?”
Gu Yunqing stared at her. “You can just say it clearly. Why do you have to mock him for being an employee? Is it because he hasn’t attended university that he deserves to be bullied by you?”
Xue Xi: “!!”
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying could not help but say, “When did Sister Xi bully him? Don’t just slander people!”
Gu Yunqing sneered. “When we received Lin Jing, Xue Xi was in the pantry. We were not there. The two of them were chatting in the pantry. Xue Xi said that Jin Peng was not worthy of liking her, and she even told Jin Peng to get lost! He was only trying to give you a bottle of beverage!”
She raised the milk beverage she was drinking, which was from a certain brand, and said, “This beverage is cheap, but it’s filled with Jin Peng’s feelings. Isn’t it too much to refuse it?”
Xue Xi: “???”
When they were in the pantry, it was Jin Peng who did not know when to advance or retreat, so she’d said, “Get lost.”
Did her words hurt Jin Peng’s pride?
His pride was too fragile.
Xue Xi felt that Gu Yunqing was being unreasonable and her face turned cold. “What evidence do you have to prove that I humiliated him? If you don’t have anything, then you’re slandering me.”
Her gaze was sharp and her face under the cap was bright and eye-catching. As her red hair fluttered in the wind, she looked fierce and valiant. “Do you think yesterday’s reflection letter punishment wasn’t enough?”
Gu Yunqing: “!!”
Yesterday’s self-reflection punishment was the most humiliating thing in her life. Xue Xi’s words in front of so many people made her lose all face.
She gritted her teeth in anger, but Wang Wei asked curiously, “What self-reflection? Xue Xi, Senior Gu Yunqing is so outstanding. Did something go wrong when she was welcoming the leader yesterday?”
Gu Yunqing’s expression changed and she said, “Xue Xi, gossiping behind people’s backs is not what a gentleman does, right?”
Xue Xi narrowed her eyes. She was about to say something but Gu Yunqing had already bypassed her and walked forward. She looked like she was fleeing in a sorry state.
“That person is simply ridiculous. Moreover, why is she sticking to you every day like a piece of dog skin plaster?!” Xie Yingying walked to Xue Xi’s side as she berated the other girl softly.
Li Zixia said, “Gu Yunqing thinks highly of herself. She’d suffered a loss against Sister Xi yesterday and would definitely think of a way to get back at her. However, let me gossip for you. The person she wants to chase has always been Fu Xiu, but she heard that Fu Xiu has a girlfriend and she has no chance anymore. That’s why she got a boyfriend, right? To be honest, didn’t her standards suddenly get lowered too much?”
She thought of the young lad in the canteen. It wasn’t his profession that was the problem; it was that he didn’t dare to look into others’ eyes when he spoke. His gaze was always evasive. When he’s compared to Fu Xiu, they were like heaven and earth.
Xie Yingying pursed her lips. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. She’s ruining my appetite. Let’s go to class!”
They quickened their pace and entered the classroom.
Today was a linear algebra day. Xue Xi had benefited greatly from the teacher’s two lessons. After class, just as everyone was about to leave, they heard a “cajoling” sound coming from the classroom next door, attracting everyone’s attention.
“What happened?”
“Wow, how romantic!”
“I’m impressed!”
“…”
When everyone’s conversation reached Xue Xi’s ears, Li Zixia and Xie Yingying looked curiously at the classroom next door.
Although Xue Xi was not interested, she had to pass by the other classroom before she could walk to the corridor.
Hence, she turned around and realized that someone from the class next door was confessing.
A person was holding a bouquet of red roses in his hand. He was wearing a suit and looked very beautiful in the light. As everyone was cheering, he walked toward Gu Yunqing with a red face and handed the bouquet to her.
Gu Yunqing actually did not fancy these little romantic gestures. How much could a bouquet cost?
In the past, when she was the school belle and was highly sought after in school, she had never been so easily touched.
But now, after she was abandoned by her family, after she fell off the pedestal and everyone else was looking at her as a joke, this person appeared in front of her and made her feel extremely touched.
She stood up with a smile and took the flowers from Jin Peng.
“Together, together!”
Gu Yunqing smiled at the other students.
Jin Peng also took a step forward and hugged her waist, extending his arms to hug her.
At this moment, Gu Yunqing straightened her back as she looked at the envious gazes of the people around her. It was as if she had returned to the days when she was sought after by everyone.
She smirked and looked around at the boys.
Most of the male students in Huaxia University were in casual wear. It was true that people relied on clothes. Even a simple and honest person like Jin Peng looked good in a suit.
Although he was not as cultured as the people from the wealthy families, he was still much better than these college students.
Gu Yunqing decided to be with him for a few months for now. Then, when she had money, she would kick him out… Besides, she had indeed never had a proper relationship in her entire university stay!
At the thought of this, she turned to look at Xue Xi and raised her brows smugly and provocatively.
Everyone saw Gu Yunqing’s gaze, so they followed her gaze and saw Xue Xi. The classroom suddenly fell silent.
Gu Yunqing smiled and said condescendingly, “Xue Xi, you won’t regret it, right?”
Xue Xi: “…”
She really felt nothing over this.
She retracted her gaze and followed Xie Yingying and Li Zixia out.
Gu Yunqing chased after her and said loudly from the classroom, “It’s a pity that some people don’t know how to cherish what they have. However, I still have to thank her for rejecting Jin Peng and helping us get together.”
Jin Peng also took the opportunity to say, “No, it’s, it’s because I felt that I wasn’t worthy of you in the past that I didn’t dare to pursue you. After she rejected me, I gained courage instead!”
These words belittled Xue Xi and elevated Gu Yunqing.
Gu Yunqing was even more pleased.
On the way, they heard some people discussing in low voices. “That Jin Peng is so romantic! I love it!”
“Shh, we don’t know how Xue Xi feels after she saw that. Anyway, if I missed such a person, I’m afraid I’d regret it!”
Xie Yingying was very angry when she heard the two of them discussing softly. “Sister Xi, Gu Yunqing’s provocative gaze is too obvious, isn’t it?”
Li Zixia nodded. “Yes, so cheap! Ahhh, I’m so angry!”
Xie Yingying continued, “No! How can our Instructor Xiang lose to him! Sister Xi, send a message to Instructor Xiang and ask him to show off his love too!”
Hearing this, Li Zixia tugged at Xie Yingying.
He was an instructor, and one could tell from what people say about this industry that he wasn’t earning a high salary. He probably didn’t have much money, right?
Xie Yingying was actually asking Instructor Xiang to compete with Jin Peng. Wouldn’t that make things difficult for Instructor Xiang?
The moment she thought of this, Xue Xi said calmly, “There’s no need.”
Love was not meant for others to be gawked at. She felt that her relationship with Xiang Huai was pretty good as it was.
However, Xie Yingying was very unwilling to accept it. “Ahhhh, no, I’m so angry! Sister Xi, are you really not angry? Instructor Xiang is really going to lose!”
As soon as she said this, the three of them heard a lazy voice. “Lose what?”
