Chapter 159

After Xie Jinxuan joined the student union, Xia Qingtang had indeed not met his friends there, so it would be nice if he could get to know them through this opportunity.

The practice at the provincial university is that students can apply to join the student union in the second semester of their freshman year. Xie Jinxuan joined the organization department of the student union last semester. Because of her strong communication skills, she is very popular among the department director and members.

This mountain climbing activity was organized by the Organization Department, so the original plan was for the minister to lead the mountain climbing, and other registered student union members would also provide corresponding assistance. However, the minister suddenly fell ill, so the responsibility of leading the mountain climbing had to be given to Xie Jinxuan.

After all, he has good physical fitness, so it should be no problem for him to walk in front of everyone.

So, the mountain climbing was decided, and Xia Qingtang hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and began to think about what food to bring to the mountain tomorrow.

Daping Mountain is quite far from here, so tomorrow morning they will first ride their bikes to the gate of the provincial university to gather, and then take the bus borrowed by the school to the foot of Daping Mountain. After counting the number of people and taking a group photo, they will start climbing the mountain.

Daping Mountain is not a very steep mountain, but it takes a lot of time to go up and down, so lunch must be eaten on the mountain, and everyone needs to bring their own dry food and water.

Xia Qingtang hadn't gone out for a picnic for a long time. The weather was so good recently, with the autumn air being clear and refreshing. It would definitely be a wonderful thing to have a picnic on the mountain after climbing, so she planned to prepare some food and enjoy it happily on the mountain.

Although she and Xie Jinxuan couldn't act alone, group activities had their own unique flavor, so Xia Qingtang was very active.

After searching for a long time, Xia Qingtang found that there were no ingredients left at home, so he went directly to the small western-style building and brought back some things from Aunt Liu's kitchen.

Seeing her busy and humming a little tune with a beaming face, Xie Jinxuan said, "Qingtang, you are just like me when I was a child."

"What were you like when you were a child?" Xia Qingtang asked curiously.

"When I was a kid, before every spring outing, I would get excited the night before, just like you, and prepare everything for fear that I would forget it the next morning."

Xia Qingtang burst out laughing and said, "This shows that I have a good attitude and am as happy as a child. Besides, we haven't gone out to play together for a long time. Now, our union is finally at peace, so of course I have to celebrate with you. I've already thought about it. Tomorrow, I'm going to bring seaweed rice balls, canned luncheon meat, and a few egg pancakes, oranges and apples, peanut cakes and egg cakes, and some candies and chocolates to supplement sugar, that's about it. Hmm, let me see, I can also bring fried peanuts and cooked chestnuts. The chestnuts that Aunt Six gave me are very fresh and can be cooked in the evening."

"It's very sumptuous. I can imagine how happy we will be eating these delicacies on the top of the mountain tomorrow." Xie Jinxuan couldn't help laughing as she listened.

Xia Qingtang said excitedly: "Yes, so it's normal to be excited! Okay, I'll just cook some vegetable noodles now, and cook some chestnuts while eating the noodles, and then we'll take a bath and go to bed early!"

Xia Qingtang simply cooked a bowl of vegetable noodles and boiled all the fresh chestnuts given by Aunt Liu. Then he hurriedly took a shower and quickly returned to his bedroom to sleep.

Xie Jinxuan was very happy to see her, and she was in a good mood too.

Xia Qingtang did not sleep well that night because she kept dreaming and woke up several times in the middle of the night. Fortunately, she was in good spirits and jumped up and got dressed as soon as the alarm rang in the morning.

Because she was going to hike today, she chose a set of loose and comfortable sportswear, put on clean white sneakers, and tied her hair into a high ponytail, making her look like a high school student.

Xie Jinxuan smiled and kissed her little face, saying, "Why are you getting younger and younger? If I take you out like this, people will ask what our relationship is."

"That's great! I hope I'll still look like this ten years later." Xia Qingtang said, and quickly went to prepare food for lunch.

She worked quickly, and soon she had made egg pancakes and a box of seaweed rice balls. Xie Jinxuan also bought some steamed buns and steamed bread. He said, "Qingtang, do you want to take two steamed buns?"

"The buns will not taste good if they are cold, unless you know how to light a bonfire there," said Xia Qingtang.

"It seems that there will be a bonfire in the event arrangement, and someone will be in charge of this."

Xia Qingtang said: "Okay, then we'll roast two and try them."

"Then bring it with you."

The two of them had breakfast and then went out with plenty of drinking water and food.

When the neighbor next door saw them carrying bags and water bottles, he asked, "Xiao Xie, where are you going to play today?"

"The school organized a mountain climbing activity today. Qingtang and I are going to climb the mountain together." Xie Jinxuan said with a smile.

Xia Qingtang said: "Yes, yes, let's go hiking!"

Seeing her smiling face and big eyes sparkling, the neighbor said, "Xiao Xia, you are so happy just because you climbed a mountain? If you ask me, people like you who are not short of money should take advantage of the holidays to travel. Traveling is very popular now, and young people do it."

Xia Qingtang said: "I also want to travel. Before the New Year, Jinxuan and I plan to go out of town. However, as long as I am with him, I will be happy even if I stay at home and bask in the sun."

Xie Jinxuan smiled gently and reached out to touch her little head.

The neighbor was blinded by their words and actions, and could only say awkwardly: "It's still good to be young, it's really good to be young..."

"We are almost too late, let's go over first." Xie Jinxuan smiled and rode her bicycle, taking Xia Qingtang out.

When we arrived at the gate of the provincial university, we saw two large cars parked there. They were borrowed buses, the largest type, each of which could seat dozens of people.

Xia Qingtang said: "Jinxuan, how many people are going today?"

"There are nearly a hundred people, and these two cars should be able to fit them all." Xie Jinxuan said, "Registration for this event started in mid-September, so there are a lot of people participating. But in the past two days, many students have dropped out. Some had something urgent to do, and some wanted to hand in homework... After all, there is only one day off, and many people still want to stay in school to study hard and do their homework."

Xia Qingtang quickly asked, "Is your homework okay?"

She cares most about Xie Jinxuan's studies and she cannot let this incident affect her studies.

Xie Jinxuan said: "Don't worry, my homework is not a big deal. I finished the last one last night."

"Then I can have fun all day long." Xia Qingtang was full of confidence, her face was shining, "I feel like I have endless energy."

Xie Jinxuan locked her bike in the shed and walked out, saying, "I feel strong now, but I won't feel the same way when I get down the mountain. Daping Mountain doesn't look high, but it's still very strenuous to climb. Tomorrow, I guess many people's legs will be sore all day."

Xia Qingtang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. If my legs are sore and I can't walk, I will stay in the office tomorrow and not go anywhere."

As long as she is happy today, she doesn’t care whether she is tired the next day.

"The new leader does seem different from the previous one. You guys still have the energy to slack off in the office." Xie Jinxuan joked.

Xia Qingtang said: "This is not laziness, I just don't go out, but I still have to do the work that needs to be done."

Of course, since Lin Shuang came, no one pushed them to complete the task anymore. Xia Qingtang and Liu Dandan did feel a little more relaxed. At least they could take a nap at noon and find some time to rest.

But this is definitely not laziness, it's just a combination of work and rest.

Xie Jinxuan pulled her towards the crowd and said as they walked, "By the way, I'm going to lead the team to climb the mountain today. The other two classmates and I are the leaders and we must always walk in front of the team. If you can't keep up with me when we're climbing the mountain, don't panic. I'll come down to find you when I lead the team to the top of the mountain."

Xia Qingtang said: "You don't have to come down to find me. I have to climb up anyway. Just wait for me at the top of the mountain."

"Then can you do it alone?" Xie Jinxuan was still worried about her.

"Why are you alone? There are so many people climbing the mountain with me. Even if I don't know them, we are all on the same path and we can always take care of each other. So, you don't have to worry about me, just wait for me at the top of the mountain. Also, I have water and chocolate with me. If I get tired, I will take a rest. I will eventually get up."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain." Xie Jinxuan said, "But don't try to show off. We have plenty of time today. Just climb up slowly. If you can't climb any further, ask a student to tell me and I'll come down to pick you up."

"Okay, I'll take note of it." Xia Qingtang didn't care.

She is not a child anymore, how could she not be able to climb a mountain?

As he spoke, he walked over to the crowd. A young man carrying a long bamboo pole shouted with a smile: "Xie Jinxuan, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you!"

The bamboo pole he was carrying was more than one meter tall. The top of the pole looked like a rolled-up flag, which was now tied with a rope.

"Chang Qing, you've raised the flag so early?" Xie Jinxuan said with a smile, "I'm not late. The designated assembly time hasn't arrived yet."

"Hey, next to you is... your lover? Did you bring your lover to climb the mountain?" Chang Qing stared at Xia Qingtang's beautiful face with wide eyes and immediately gasped, "Oh my God, how can someone look like this!"

"What are you talking about? Can you speak?" A petite girl next to him jumped up and patted Chang Qing's head hard. Then she smiled and looked at Xia Qingtang, saying enthusiastically: "I'm sorry, Chang Qing can't speak, but he probably didn't mean any harm. He must mean that you are too beautiful, which is really rare."

"I understand what he means, and thank you for the compliment." Xia Qingtang said with a smile: "Hello, are you also a member of the Student Union?"

"Yes, I am a member of the Organization Department just like Xie Jinxuan and Chang Qing. My name is Jin Linglan." The petite girl shook hands with Xia Qingtang, then carefully looked at every feature of her face and said, "Before, they always said that the school belle of our school was the most beautiful person. After meeting you today, I finally know what is the most beautiful. You are the most beautiful person. Every part of you is extremely beautiful. I am a little curious. Is it particularly beautiful to grow up like you?"

Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "To be honest, there are both advantages and disadvantages to growing up like this."

"Is there a downside to looking like this?" Chang Qing interrupted, "How is that possible? Look at Xie Jinxuan, he's good-looking and has no worries at all. The teachers like him, the students like him too, you don't know how many female students write to him! I'm so envious!"

Jin Linglan jumped up again and slapped Chang Qing hard on the back of his head: "What nonsense are you talking about again?"

"No? Why did you hit me again? What nonsense did I say? Wasn't I telling the truth? You have seen how popular Xie Jinxuan is! Every time we walked out of the student union's regular meeting, there were always girls waiting there to give him letters and candies?" Chang Qing said unconvinced.

Jin Linglan covered her face: "What do you want me to say about you? Are you really stupid? Lao Xie is a married man. Is it a good thing that so many female students write to him? What's more, who are you talking about this in front of? This is Lao Xie's lover!"

Chang Qing was finally dumbfounded. He stood there at a loss: "Old Xie, what should I do? Did I say something wrong?"

Chang Qing looks young, probably around twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks a bit honest. You can tell from his appearance that he doesn't have any bad intentions, and he is a nice person.

Xie Jinxuan smiled and said, "It's okay. I've told my wife about all the things you said when I got home."

"Have you told your lover? You are so brave! How dare you say such things? Aren't you afraid that your lover will be angry?" Chang Qing gave Xie Jinxuan a thumbs up.

Jin Linglan smiled and said, "Old Xie, it seems that you and your lover must have a very good relationship. She trusts you completely, so she won't be angry after hearing what you said, right?"

"Yes, my wife and I have a very good relationship, and she trusts me unconditionally." Xie Jinxuan looked gentle.

Chang Qing said, "You haven't introduced her to us yet, what should we call her sister-in-law? We are in school after all, and it feels weird to call her sister-in-law."

"Yes, I just happened to introduce you. This is my wife, Xia Qingtang. She works in the labor union of the Future Electric Appliance Factory. She is the same age as Xiaojin, so you can just call her by her name." Xie Jinxuan said: "Qingtang, you can just call them by their names, or you can call them Xiaojin or Xiaochang."

Jin Linglan smiled and said, "Xia Qingtang, what a nice name, it sounds full of vitality. But, are you the same age as me? I thought you were younger than me. You don't look like someone who already works, you look more like a student than us."

Chang Qing nodded and said, "Indeed, just now Xie Jinxuan was walking over there with Xiaoxia, and I asked Xiaojin if the person next to him was his sister. She looked too young, like a high school student. But I remember Xie Jinxuan only has one brother, so I was very confused."

Xia Qingtang laughed and said, "Thank you for your compliments. You are really good at talking."

As he was talking, he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses coming over. He shouted, "All members of the Organization Department, come and gather!"

Xie Jinxuan said quickly: "Qingtang, I'll go over there for a while, you wait here for me, I think we'll be leaving in a while."

"Okay, go ahead." Xia Qingtang squeezed his hand and watched them run over with a smile.

All the people standing nearby were students. Xia Qingtang was bored anyway, so he looked at them one by one. Unexpectedly, he saw Gu Xingan and Chang Xiaohong in the crowd.

They were both wearing casual clothes and white sneakers. Chang Xiaohong's clothes looked brand new, and with her smiling face, it was obvious that she was very happy.

Gu Xing'an also spotted Xia Qingtang through the crowd. He lowered his head a little embarrassedly at first, then greeted him with a smile.

Xia Qingtang also smiled and nodded over there, but when Chang Xiaohong saw her, she pulled Gu Xing'an over.

"Hello, classmate Xia, I met you last time, but you didn't say hello to me." Chang Xiaohong said directly.

Xia Qingtang showed a surprised expression: "Really? When did it happen?"

"Just last time..." Chang Xiaohong said.

"Oh, you mean that time. I was in a hurry to go to class, so it was quite urgent. Maybe I didn't pay attention. If you mind, I apologize to you." Xia Qingtang smiled.

Chang Xiaohong said: "I don't mind it, but I think that you are Xing'an's classmate, but you are a female classmate, so it is better to make it clear."

Xia Qingtang didn't understand: "Comrade Chang, what do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. You are a female classmate and you have a lover, so you should be careful when you interact with Xing'an. When you saw me, you deliberately didn't say hello to me, which seemed a bit suspicious."

Xia Qingtang looked at Chang Xiaohong as if she were a fool, and then deliberately looked at Gu Xingan.

Gu Xingan quickly said, "Xiaohong, Comrade Xia is a very decent and good comrade. You seem to be rude when you speak like this."

"I just want to remind her that male and female classmates should keep a distance. After all, wasn't your previous partner your high school classmate? You guys still get together regularly. Who knows when you will get together with some high school classmate at which party?" Chang Xiaohong whispered.

Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "If Comrade Chang is worried about this, it's actually very simple. You can ask classmate Gu Xing'an not to attend the class reunion in the future. Or, you can go to the class reunion with him."

Chang Xiaohong's eyes lit up: "That's right, just like you, the student union organized a mountain climbing activity, and you followed it. You must be afraid that Xie Jinxuan would be entangled by someone, right?"

"Xiaohong, don't talk like that." Gu Xing'an's face turned red and he looked extremely ashamed.

Chang Xiaohong said, "Oh, what's wrong? I'm telling the truth. I'm also thinking about your classmate. We're all in the same school, and everyone knows how popular Xie Jinxuan is in school. Especially this year, after the new students entered the school, I don't know how many schoolgirls have taken a fancy to Xie Jinxuan. There is a particularly high-profile one who has been pursuing him. Xie Jinxuan has rejected him several times, but she is still unwilling to give up and said that pursuing love is not a sin... Look, she also came with us this time. Xia classmate, look over there, that's the female student standing behind the car. I heard that she is 19 years old, young and beautiful, and her family is a cadre family. Look, in terms of appearance, that person is not much worse than you. So, you really have to pay attention and keep a close eye on Xie Jinxuan. I'm really doing this for your own good, after all, you are the original wife. If you were not married, it would be fine for that girl to come and meddle in it, but you are both married, and it is too immoral for her to do this."

Xia Qingtang originally thought that Chang Xiaohong was quite rude, but when she said this, Xia Qingtang suddenly felt that Chang Xiaohong was simply simple-minded. Although her words were impolite, they were always direct and simple, and a little self-righteous.

She looked in the direction Chang Xiaohong had pointed, and sure enough, she saw a female student in a crimson sportswear near the rear of the last bus. She had a slender figure, delicate features, a pointed chin and thin lips. She was obviously a very smart person with a good temperament, which was in stark contrast to the obviously rustic students around her.

If I have to say something, it is that she looks like a city girl, and a city girl who was raised in a well-off family. She is the little princess of this era.

In addition, she has a good appearance and figure. If she comes from a cadre family, it is no wonder that she looks so confident and dares to pursue Xie Jinxuan.

"Comrade Chang, thank you so much. I didn't know about this before, but I found out today. I must thank you." Xia Qingtang said with a smile.

Chang Xiaohong saw that she had listened, so she quickly said, "Yes, I am thinking about you as well. Xie Jinxuan is so popular in school. If I were you, I would definitely keep a close eye on him. I don't think anyone else can beat you, but I don't think Li Xuefei can compete with you. She is a strong rival."

"Xiaohong, stop talking nonsense. What do you mean by fighting for it..." Gu Xing'an came over with a red face and pulled Chang Xiaohong.

Chang Xiaohong said, "Oh, what do you know? I'm a woman, I can see these things very clearly, that Li Xuefei is really not simple! I heard that she can dance and play the piano. Didn't she perform a self-playing and singing performance at the freshman party before? At that time, many boys regarded her as a goddess! Only a silly person like you can't understand it! Her grades are not bad, and she is studying in the foreign language department, so fashionable. In addition, her family is very well-known in XX City. With so many good conditions added together, if you were Xie Jinxuan, would you be tempted?"

Indeed, if it weren’t for the wrong place, Xia Qingtang would think that this beautiful female college student from a cadre family is a good match for Xie Jinxuan.

Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "Yes, Comrade Chang is right. If I were Xie Jinxuan, I would be tempted by such good conditions."

Gu Xing'an's face turned even redder. After all, he broke up with Hu Yanni because Chang Xiaohong's family was well-off. The reason why Chang Xiaohong made such a guess was entirely because he had a precedent.

Gu Xingan stopped talking, so Chang Xiaohong said, "So, you should pay attention. You are different from us. You have never been to college and you are married. If you really get divorced, it will be too tragic."

"Xiaohong..." This time, Gu Xing'an didn't even know how to persuade her.

Xia Qingtang nodded and said, "Comrade Chang is right, but don't worry, I will pay attention."

"Okay! The time is up! Everyone come and gather! Let's start counting the number of people!" The middle-aged man shouted loudly on the other end.

"The teacher has called for assembly. Let's go!" Chang Xiaohong winked at Xia Qingtang again before taking Gu Xing'an over.

Xia Qingtang stood there with a smile, watching the roll call. After the number of people was counted twice, the teacher said, "The people on the first piece of paper take the first car, and the people on the second piece of paper take the second car. Male students should stand as much as possible and give their seats to female students. Okay, everyone get on the bus!"

The students were all young, and they cheered and rushed to get on the bus.

Xie Jinxuan came over to find Xia Qingtang at this time. He held Xia Qingtang's hand and said, "After they all get on the bus, let's see which bus has space and then get on."

"Okay, there's no rush anyway. I was just talking to Gu Xing'an and Chang Xiaohong here for a while. Chang Xiaohong told me something very interesting. Do you want to listen to it?" Xia Qingtang deliberately grinned.

Xie Jinxuan said: "Looking at your expression, I know it's definitely not something fun."

"I think it's quite interesting. It's the story of a person named Li Xuefei."

Xie Jinxuan sighed and said, "So it's about this person. Stop talking about it. It's really not fun at all. I'm almost annoyed to death by this person."

"Are you annoyed to death? There is actually someone who can annoy you?" Xia Qingtang was a little surprised. "You don't really have any special feelings for her, do you? You could easily deal with those girls who pursued you before."

Xie Jinxuan whispered, "Other people are different from her. Other people have a sense of shame. So, when they meet someone who is persistent, I just say a few harsh words and they basically run away. But this person is different. Her way of thinking... is different from that of normal people. She has no sense of shame. No matter how harshly I say something, such as she deliberately destroys other people's marriages and has no shame, she will say that she is bravely pursuing true love, and that I have been brainwashed by traditional marriages. It is wrong for me to do this and I should stand up bravely and pursue true love. I said that I was pursuing my true love, and she said that I was blinded by my wife, and that it is impossible for me and my wife, a woman who have no common language, to be true love."

Xia Qingtang listened with great interest: "Oh my God, it sounds so wonderful."

"Of course it's exciting to listen to, but it's not so interesting when it happens to you. Later, I found it was useless to talk to this person, so I started to ignore her. But she didn't care about being ignored at all. She would always run to the classroom where I got out of class and wait for me, and then greet me in front of everyone before leaving." Xie Jinxuan said: "I have treated her as a transparent person, but it seems that she still doesn't want to give up. I went to report the situation to their head teacher, and the teacher talked to her, but it didn't work at all."

"Isn't she worried about being punished?"

"She won't be punished for such a small matter. After all, she just comes to say hello to me every day and doesn't cause any harm to my body." Xie Jinxuan said, "Even if we report it to their department head, I'm afraid the result will be the same."

Xia Qingtang said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have helped you solve it. We are husband and wife, you should have come to me for this kind of thing."

Xia Qingtang could easily handle the problems that Xie Jinxuan could not solve, because she was Xie Jinxuan's legal spouse. As long as she came to the school to find the leader and say a few harsh words and make a big fuss, the matter could be solved.

Fights between students within the school are internal conflicts, but if the students' family members come and threaten to make a big fuss, then that's a big deal and the department head will have to take it seriously.

Xie Jinxuan said, "Your factory has encountered so many things in September. I saw that you have been upset, so I don't want to bother you with this matter. To put it bluntly, as long as I ignore her, it will be fine. I don't believe that this person can persist for another year or two."

"Now I'm free, I can help you solve your problem." Xia Qingtang said, "I don't want someone to keep disturbing your studies. You've put so much effort into getting into college, you can't let these boring people hold you back."

Xie Jinxuan couldn't help laughing, but there were so many people here that he didn't dare to lower his head and kiss her. He could only rub her little fingers with his fingers and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely take care of it."

They walked to the bus and saw that all the students had boarded. Xie Jinxuan and the middle-aged teacher counted the number of people again, then found a bus with vacancies and got on.

There were no empty seats on the bus at this moment, and the male students were basically standing.

When they saw Xie Jinxuan bringing Xia Qingtang into the car, those who were a little familiar with them started to make a fuss, asking Xie Jinxuan to introduce them to everyone.

Xia Qingtang introduced himself confidently, and applause immediately broke out.

The car they took was just a coincidence, as Li Xuefei was not on it, so the atmosphere in the car was very good. She and Xie Jinxuan stood together, listening to the students singing various songs, and soon they arrived at the foot of Daping Mountain.

Today is a holiday, so many people come here to climb the mountain.

Xie Jinxuan worked with the deputy director of the Organization Department to count the number of people again, and Chang Qing held up the school flag and said loudly: "Students, let's go!"

After saying that, he carried the flag and walked up first.

Xie Jinxuan quickly said: "Qingtang, I'm going to the front."

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry about me." Xia Qingtang smiled and waved at him.

Xie Jinxuan and Chang Qing were the leaders, while the deputy minister and Jin Linglan were responsible for the rear to ensure that no one was lost.

Xia Qingtang carried his bag and slowly climbed up among the large group.

The weather today is very good, the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is blowing gently, and there is not a single cloud in the sky, making everyone's face sparkle in the sunlight.

Although Xia Qingtang herself failed to get into university, she was still very happy to see these college students. The expressions on their faces were somewhat different from those of the factory workers. Although young people are full of hope, their hopes seem brighter, and therefore they are also more youthful and energetic.

After Xia Qingtang climbed for a while, she found someone following her. She turned around and saw that it was Li Xuefei, whom Chang Xiaohong had reminded her of.

However, Xia Qingtang was not too surprised, because she could guess that Li Xuefei would come to her sooner or later, but she didn't expect her to come so early.

But on second thought, it makes sense, because according to Xie Jinxuan, Li Xuefei has no sense of shame and is very proactive, so she will definitely be very proactive in testing Xia Qingtang.

Seeing Xia Qingtang tilt her head to look at her, Li Xuefei smiled brightly at her: "Hello."

Li Xuefei looks a little cold when she doesn't smile, but she is quite sweet when she smiles, and her two little canine teeth make her look very playful.

In terms of appearance, although she is not as delicate and beautiful as Xia Qingtang, she is also one of the most beautiful people.

In terms of height, she is about the same height as Xia Qingtang, but her proportions are slightly worse. She is not as curvy as Xia Qingtang, with a thin waist and long legs.

"Hello." Xia Qingtang also smiled.

Li Xuefei asked, "Are you also a student of our school? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm not a student, I'm a student's family member. I came here with my husband today. He said that family members can be brought along for this mountain climbing activity, so I came here." Xia Qingtang said with a smile.

Li Xuefei was stunned for a moment and said, "Whose relative are you? Why did he let you climb the mountain alone? He should have come with you."

Xia Qingtang said: "I am Xie Jinxuan's family member. He has a mission today, so he has to lead the way. I walk slowly and I am not in a hurry, so I will climb up slowly by myself. The weather is so good today, I can walk slowly and enjoy the scenery."

"So you are Senior Xie's lover. I've heard of your great name for a long time, but when I met you today, you're just so-so." Li Xuefei said impolitely, but she was still smiling on her face, and her smile was still so sweet and lovely.

After Xia Qingtang experienced Ma Chunhua's smiling tiger, she particularly disliked people who said unpleasant things while smiling. She deliberately frowned and shouted in a voice that could be heard from all around: "Excuse me, who are you? Do I know you well? As a stranger meeting for the first time, I feel very uncomfortable that you talk to me like this! You are still a college student! Whose stomach have you learned all these years of reading? Don't you even have basic manners?"

Everyone around looked over here. Even though Li Xuefei had no sense of shame, she still wanted to save face, so her face quickly turned red and she said excitedly, "Comrade, I don't understand what you mean. How am I being rude?"

"How rude of you to ask me to repeat myself? And why are you speaking so loudly? Oh, I see, you feel guilty, so you deliberately speak loudly to get away with it? I tell you, you are impolite. Others may indulge you, but I won't!" Xia Qingtang said in a voice louder than hers, "I have never seen you bully others so well!"

Li Xuefei originally came to test Xia Qingtang, but she didn't expect to be disrupted by Xia Qingtang's behavior right from the start. She said in a panic: "I didn't mean that. I just came here to talk to you..."

"Then apologize! You need to apologize for your rudeness!"

"What?"

"You don't know how to apologize? Your teacher taught you when you were in first grade. Now you're a college student, and you don't even know how to apologize?" Xia Qingtang sneered.

The students around were talking about it, and everyone looked at Li Xuefei with questioning eyes.

Li Xuefei was caught off guard and could only say, "Okay, I was wrong just now, I apologize..."

Xia Qingtang immediately said: "Okay, I accept your apology. Don't be so rude in the future, and don't bully others casually!"

After saying that, she quickened her pace, trying to get rid of Li Xuefei.

But Li Xuefei quickly caught up with him and whispered, "Comrade Xia..."

"I never told you my last name!" Xia Qingtang said sternly.

"You are Xie Jinxuan's lover. Many people know your name, and I know it too. It's not surprising."

"So what? Why did you catch up with me? Why did you have to follow me on such a spacious mountain road?" Xia Qingtang snorted coldly.

Li Xuefei said: "I have something I want to tell you, but I never had the chance before. Now that we've met today, I should tell you."

"We don't even know each other, what can you say to me?" Xia Qingtang glanced at her coldly, only to see that Li Xuefei's eyes were full of confidence, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

"I want to discuss with you something about Senior Xie." Li Xuefei said, "On my first day at school, Senior Xie saved me. His classmate hit me and he took me to the infirmary. From that time on, Senior Xie has taken root in my heart..."

Xia Qingtang thought of what happened on Xie Jinxuan's first day of school. He and the deputy monitor did send an injured freshman to the infirmary that day, but now Li Xuefei made it seem as if there was something ambiguous between him and Xie Jinxuan.

If she hadn't known about this matter in advance, she might have misunderstood here. It can be seen that Li Xuefei is a very scheming person and wants to set traps for Xia Qingtang in many places.

Xia Qingtang listened to her words but said nothing and had no expression.

Li Xuefei looked at her expression and continued, "I heard some people talk about Senior Xie's lover. They said that Senior Xie's lover was very beautiful and a perfect match for him. But when I saw you today, I don't think so."

"Oh? Really? What you think is not important to us at all." Xia Qingtang smiled, and suddenly changed the subject, saying: "But I am a little curious and want to hear what you think."

Li Xuefei was caught off guard again, and her pace was disrupted again. She said in a panic: "What... I... I think that matching is not just about appearance..."

"Oh, thank you. It turns out that you also think I'm very beautiful, and my appearance is a good match for Xie Jinxuan. I want to thank you this time, young man. You have good taste! Xie Jinxuan and I are indeed a very good match!" Xia Qingtang nodded vigorously and gave an admiring look.
