On his way back with a bag of snacks, He Xiao opened the note that Teacher Zhao had given him and read it.
There were five names and their classes written in ballpoint pen on it. He scanned them one by one, and he could recognize two or three of them, but he didn't know the rest.
He paused in his steps, which were originally heading straight back to his classroom, and finally stopped at the door of Class 2, grabbing someone who was coming out of Class 2.
"Call Gu Yi'an out."
Before the man could react, he saw He Xiao's face, swallowed the words he was about to say, and gave a fawning smile: "Yes, Young Master He, I'll go right away."
Gu Yi'an quickly came out of the classroom and was already used to seeing the large bag of snacks in He Xiao's hand.
"Did the eldest brother go to buy snacks for Sister Yue again?" he said with a smile.
He Xiao nodded and handed him the note: "How many of the people on this note do you recognize?"
Gu Yi'an was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the note in his hand. He realized that it had taken so long for the dean of students to give him the note, and he had almost forgotten about it.
"Hmm...we basically know them, but we're not close." Gu Yi'an paused and asked, "Does the boss think there's something wrong with them?"
Could it be that these people deliberately increased the popularity of that deleted post and pinned it to the top?
“No problem. Go and find out which of these people are close to Jiang Zhixing.” He Xiao narrowed his eyes, thinking of the scene he had just witnessed. Xu Hao’s condition was not right and Jiang Zhixing had his back to him, so he couldn’t see clearly, but he still felt that there was something fishy going on.
He already had a guess in his mind, but he still needed to confirm it.
Gu Yi'an's eyes widened with excitement: "Besides asking these questions, are there any other tasks?"
What he enjoys most is doing things full of unsolved cases, as if he were about to become a detective and start solving them.
There's only one truth...
"No." He Xiao glanced at him expressionlessly.
Gu Yi'an regretfully put away his fantasies: "Alright, then..."
Before he could finish speaking, the bell rang for class. He Xiao looked away and said, "Come find me if you have any questions. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, bye-bye boss."
The two classes are separated by a wall.
He Xiao returned to the classroom in two steps. Shen Linyue had been eagerly waiting for him, and her face immediately lit up with a smile when she saw him finally return.
"So? What did Lao Zhao say?" As soon as she finished speaking, He Xiao had already placed the snacks on her table. Shen Linyue's attention was instantly drawn to him, and she excitedly said, "So many snacks! They're all my favorites! Thank you, Xiao."
He Xiao was already used to her ability to change her expression, and said calmly, "Hmm, not bad."
Shen Linyue: ?
What the hell is this?
"Old Zhao didn't scold you, did he? Probably not, you've been doing quite well lately," Shen Linyue pondered.
He Xiao curled his lips and glanced at her: "Stop being so jealous of what I'm doing well, class is starting."
The topic was diverted, but Shen Linyue didn't dwell on it. Seeing that his expression was normal and there was no sign of anger, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and stopped asking.
...
The morning passed quickly. After the school bell rang, Shen Linyue quickly gathered the things on the table, smiled, and called to the people standing in the corridor outside before heading out.
He Xiao had already been awakened by her movements, and he propped his head up with his hand, looking at her lazily: "Where are you going?"
Shen Linyue wasn't surprised to see him wake up. She replied, "Of course I'm going to the cafeteria. I won't wake you now that you're awake. Go by yourself. I'm leaving now."
He Xiao: ?
Watching her walk out of the classroom without pausing for a moment, his drowsy mind instantly cleared.
What's the meaning?
She doesn't need him to accompany her to the cafeteria anymore? Has he been dumped?!
Gu Yi'an happened to walk in at that moment and was somewhat surprised to see him still there.
"Hey boss, why didn't you leave with Sister Yue? I just saw Sister Yue leaving with a girl from your class, and I was thinking of coming over to check, but I didn't expect you to actually be here."
Gu Yi'an's words directly confirmed He Xiao's doubts. He Xiao's expression turned cold and he looked at him indifferently.
"You talk too much."
Gu Yi'an: ...
He's always been very talkative; the boss never said anything like that to him before.
As if realizing something, Gu Yi'an's eyes widened in disbelief: "So you were dumped by Sister Yue?"
He Xiao's veins throbbed, and he could no longer contain himself: "Get lost."
...
Shen Linyue made a friend in class, who was also an acquaintance. She had met Su Xiao at He Xiao's birthday party and on the basketball court.
Ever since Su Xiao learned that she and He Xiao were related, she had been intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to her, and blushing as she apologized to her.
Shen Linyue naturally wouldn't hold it against her; ignorance is no excuse. After the other party apologized, she gladly accepted and learned her name.
The two would go to the bathroom together after class, and chat about gossip when they were bored.
Su Xiao is a sensitive girl who blushes easily, while Shen Linyue is carefree and the two complement each other perfectly.
"Aren't you going to wait for your younger brother to have lunch together?" Su Xiao asked, blinking her big eyes.
Yes, Su Xiao thought He Xiao was her younger brother. Shen Linyue hadn't told her the truth yet, mainly because she wanted to save face for He Xiao, since Su Xiao liked him.
"Do you want to? I'll go back and call him." Shen Linyue stared at Su Xiao teasingly.
Sure enough, after being stared at for a few moments, Su Xiaoxue's fair face flushed red: "Forget it, forget it... but is this really okay?"
Shen Linyue pinched her cheek, and said it felt really good. "No, He Xiao isn't stingy. I heard that tomato beef brisket is served for lunch today. Let's hurry up or it will be gone."
Seeing her eager look, Su Xiao found it amusing, and her expression became serious: "Okay, we will definitely get to eat it."
The two girls ran off laughing, while He Xiao, who was not far behind, kept staring at Shen Linyue's back, but she never turned around to look at him.
Gu Yi'an, who was standing nearby, naturally saw Shen Linyue and the others. Noticing that his boss was in a bad mood, he tried to distract him.
"I think that girl's name is Su Xiao. I didn't expect Sister Yue to become friends with her."
He Xiao looked away upon hearing this. "You know him?"
Seeing that he was indeed attracted, Gu Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief and slowly shook his head: "I don't know him, but I've heard of him, and..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but just glanced at He Xiao with a complicated look. This girl also liked He Xiao. If he wasn't mistaken, she also went to the last birthday party. She probably wanted to confess to the boss.
However, seeing that his eldest brother was still clueless about love and didn't understand anything, he still didn't intend to say anything.
"And what?" He Xiao frowned when he saw him pause, and his gaze swept over him inquisitively.
Gu Yi'an quickly snapped out of his daze and shook his head vigorously: "It's nothing, I just felt a bit sentimental thinking about Su Xiao's somewhat bumpy background."
"Huh? What does her background have to do with me?" He Xiao said unhappily.
Gu Yi'an: ...
He promptly shut up.
Just as the two were about to enter the cafeteria, He Xiao suddenly said something out of the blue.
"Won't her identity affect Lin Yue?"
Gu Yi'an thought he had misheard, so he looked up at his boss uncertainly and saw that his boss looked very serious and subconsciously replied, "...Of course not."
Boss, this isn't just a case of someone not getting it yet, is it?
He only cares about Sister Yue! Other girls are nothing in his eyes, it seems like he's finally figured it out.
