Chapter 25 Cuter than you

Zhang Lin watched the rosy-cheeked Xuanli and the leisurely Xiao Yiyi come in one after another. She was about to ask them why they appeared together again, but when she saw Lu Zhi, she could only suppress her curiosity.

Gossip is a characteristic of girls. Zhang Lin felt itchy when she couldn't get the answer. It was the first time that she felt that studying in the evening was so painful. She looked at the time every time she did a question, and only ten minutes had passed.

She wrote a note to Xuanli.

Xuanli, who was concentrating on her homework, suddenly threw a ball of paper in front of her, and she looked sideways at Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin pointed at the ball of paper and mouthed: "Open it and take a look."

Xuanli opened the ball of paper, and on it was Zhang Lin's scrawled handwriting like a primary school student's: Where did you and Xiao Yizhi go?

Her eyes were slightly startled, but she still replied truthfully: Going to eat.

Zhang Lin opened her mouth in shock when she saw the answer, and her writing hand began to tremble.

Xuanli saw the note she passed and it said: You two are making great progress.

When she looked at Zhang Lin, her expression changed from shock to excitement to understanding.

Xuanli:……

She replied: Monitor, you are overthinking, I just owe him a favor to treat him to dinner.

Zhang Lin sighed in disappointment and wrote: I thought someone could finally suppress this big devil.

Xuanli glanced at Xiao Yizhi in the corner. He was out of tune with the other people who were concentrating on homework. He fell asleep leaning against the window.

He's not too bad, but he's not too good either.

After today's meal, they will not have any other interactions.

After the evening self-study, Xuanli was on her way to the side door. She didn't take out her mobile phone to send a message to Jiang Cheng until there was no one on the road.

[It’s my turn to be on duty today. I got up early and took the bus but accidentally stopped at one stop]

As always, she shared what happened today with Jiang Cheng, but she ignored what happened on the bus to avoid worrying him.

"Hey, it seems you are very happy today."

Although she had only heard this voice once, the threat and ridicule in her tone left a deep impression on Xuanli.

Before Xuanli could react, she was pushed hard, her back hit the banyan tree behind her, and her phone flew out of her hand.

The tree trembled and a few fallen leaves fell.

Qiao Lingxuan gently took away the leaves that fell on Xuanli's head and patted her gently.

"Little classmate, haven't I given you a chance? Why are you so disobedient?"

She almost approached Xuanli's face, her charming fox eyes were filled with coldness. The strong smell of perfume on her body made Xuanli's throat dry and hoarse, but she didn't dare to cough, holding it in until her cheeks turned red.

Xuanli didn't expect that Qiao Lingxuan would know that she and Xiao Yizhi went out to eat, so she had to give up her original idea of ​​getting away with it.

Then he realized that with how dedicated Qiao Lingxuan was to Xiao Yizhi, it was reasonable to send someone to follow him and gain insight into his movements.

She explained softly: "Student Xiao, he helped me, and I invited him to dinner as a thank you. There is no other intention."

Qiao Lingxuan raised her lips mockingly, "You said the same thing last time, and I reluctantly believed it. This time Yizhi took you to his restaurant. Do you know who is there?"

Xuanli shook her head blankly.

"They are all managers of their cooperative companies. Only people related to the Xiao family can enter. They will only think that you are Yizhi's girlfriend."

She opened her eyes wide and hurriedly explained: "Classmate Qiao, you misunderstood. Classmate Xiao didn't mean it this way, and I didn't mean it either."

The mobile phone on the ground suddenly vibrated, and Qiao Lingxuan looked over.

"You still use such an expensive mobile phone? You can't afford it because you are so poor. Did Yizhi buy it for you?"

She released her hold on Xuanli and bent down to look at the screen. The caller ID showed Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng? This name seems familiar," Qiao Lingxuan picked up the phone, turned around and looked at Xuan Li, who looked a little anxious, and smiled mockingly, "Isn't he your boyfriend?"

Her back was still aching. She coughed a few times and her voice became hoarse. She reached for the phone. "Give me the phone back."

Qiao Lingxuan raised her hand and easily defeated Xuan Li. "No. You have a boyfriend and you still want to hook up with Yizhi? As expected, people should not be judged by their appearance."

She pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone. Xuanli heard Jiang Cheng's obviously relieved voice on the other side.

"Xuan Xiaoli, what happened?"

He was always like this, the first time he noticed that she was in trouble.

The tip of Xuanli's nose was a little sour, and her heart felt as if it had been soaked in honey, which was sweet.

"It's quite intimate." Qiao Lingxuan smiled inexplicably and said to Jiang Cheng, "Can you control her and stop seducing our family?"

Jiang Cheng's originally gentle voice suddenly dropped when he heard the unfamiliar voice, "Where's Xuanli?"

Xuanli was still standing on tiptoe trying to get her phone back, but Qiao Lingxuan was tall and she wore high-heeled shoes, so even her wrist couldn't reach it.

She had to give up temporarily and raised her voice slightly, "I'm here."

When Jiang Cheng heard that she was fine, he reluctantly felt relieved, glanced at his roommate in the dormitory who was still preparing for tomorrow's experiment, and walked to the balcony.

"You are Qiao Lingxuan."

It's an extremely affirmative tone.

Qiao Lingxuan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "It seems I'm quite famous. You still know me."

Jiang Cheng sneered, "Rather than letting me take care of Xuanli, it's better to keep an eye on your Xiao Yizhi and don't let him get close to Xuanli."

"What a white lotus, you two are protecting her," Qiao Lingxuan glanced at Xuanli with disgust, her voice suddenly cold, "As long as she disappears, she won't get close to Yi Zhi, right?"

Xuanli's back stiffened and her face turned a little pale.

Jiang Cheng's voice was cold: "Just because others can't offend your Qiao family doesn't mean that my Jiang family can't offend me."

"Jiang family?" Qiao Lingxuan finally remembered this surname, "Turns out he is from the four major families."

She turned to look at Xuanli, and her innocent and harmless face disgusted her even more.

"What do you see in her? Apart from her beauty, she has nothing to offer her."

Jiang Cheng: "Cuteer than you."

Xuanli's face heats up, but... cute? Is this how she looks in his eyes?

Qiao Lingxuan hung up the phone angrily, but Jiang Cheng called again.

She hangs up once and he hits once.

Qiao Lingxuan asked impatiently: "What do you want?"

"I should ask you this, right? Don't affect Xuanli's studies. The control of your Qiao family is in the hands of the Jiang family."

Jiang Cheng knocked on the metal railing of the balcony, and the clear sounds hit Qiao Lingxuan's heart one after another. Her confidence became weaker and weaker.

Qiao Lingxuan twitched her lips and said, "Okay, considering that you are from the Jiang family, I won't kill her myself."

She hung up the phone and threw the phone into Xuanli's arms. She took out a women's cigarette from her pocket, bit it, opened the lighter cap, and raised her chin towards her.

The style of the lighter looked familiar, it was the same model as Jiang Cheng's.

Xuanli saw that he had used it and recalled how he carelessly fiddled with the lighter to light a cigarette.

Lazy and unruly, but very charming.
