Chapter 79 Snacks, confiscated!
A note?!
Xia Linxing stared blankly at the piece of paper that he was very familiar with, and was completely stunned.
So Xie Tinglan had already read the note?!
Then why didn't he say it just now?!
Xia Linxing thought angrily: He said that he was helping to look for Shen Sibai because he was looking for him... It turned out that he was lying to him before!
Xie Tinglan looked at the changing expressions on the face of the person in front of him with interest, shook the note in his hand, and attracted Xia Linxing's attention back.
"The content of this note is quite interesting..."
He spread out the note in a pretentious manner, cleared his throat, and began to read aloud in a rhythmic manner: "'Hello, Teacher Xie, I saw Xia Linxing these days--'..."
He paused here deliberately, and glanced at Xia Linxing calmly. Not surprisingly, he saw Xia Linxing gasp for air, then he put away the smile in his eyes and continued reading: "'Has been sneaking around the utility room at the end of the corridor on the first floor'..."
He stretched out his tone: "'Xia Linxing's behavior seems a bit suspicious'..."
"So..." Xie Tinglan closed the note and concluded, "I'll come over to take a look at the address written on the note..."
"So..." He waved the note in front of Xia Linxing's eyes, "Secret Xia Linxing, what are you doing in the utility room?"
“I…I…”
Xia Linxing's eyes wandered. This time, he couldn't change the subject the way he had last time. He could only think rapidly, trying to find a reasonable excuse for his strange behavior.
"Have you found an excuse?"
Xia Linxing answered subconsciously: "Not yet, wait a moment."
However, after he said it, Xia Linxing realized what he had said. He suddenly covered his mouth and looked at Xie Tinglan who asked the question with an accusing look.
But the culprit was leisurely looking through his snacks, with an expression of disapproval on his face.
Got it!
Xia Linxing's eyes lit up: "I, I came here to eat snacks!"
"Oh?" Xie Tinglan straightened up and looked away from the snacks. "Eating snacks?"
"Right, right!" Xia Linxing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, looking at Xie Tinglan sincerely, and began to talk nonsense: "I accidentally discovered that there were snacks hidden in this utility room before, so I would sneak here to eat snacks during my break..."
Xie Tinglan raised his eyebrows, but didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just continued to ask: "Then why did you invite Shen Sibai to come here..."
Xia Linxing quickly took over the conversation: "I invited Shen Sibai to come here for some snacks!"
"Is that so..." Xie Tinglan stretched out his tone, not commenting on Xia Linxing's statement. He simply asked, "Then this note... was also because someone misunderstood and then 'reported' you?"
"You are not aware of this?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Xia Linxing nodded vigorously, with a sincere look on his face as if saying, "You (Xie Tinglan) are really the master of clear soup."
"Then I understand..." Xie Tinglan also nodded seriously.
Xia Linxing secretly studied Xie Tinglan's expression, feeling that he must have truly believed it, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his actions were covert, but he hadn't expected Xie Tinglan to see through everything from beginning to end.
Then, a certain "bad" man curled his lips slightly and changed the subject: "But——"
"These snacks..." He pointed at the remaining snacks, "I still have to confiscate them according to the regulations..."
"Ah..." Xia Linxing exclaimed softly, with a trace of reluctance on his face.
But intellectually, he knew Xie Tinglan was right. According to the rules, the snacks should have been taken away by the staff long ago. Xia Linxing felt a little sorry for these snacks... which he had secretly brought back from outside. After all, he didn't know when he would have the chance to leave the base again.
He looked at the bag of snacks reluctantly for a few times, his eyes as lingering as a husband who was about to leave his newly married wife for the battlefield.
"besides……"
As a result, confiscating the snacks wasn't the end of the matter. Xie Tinglan continued, "Since you were sneaking around in the utility room eating snacks, you violated the rules..."
"Although I can choose not to expose you to the program team, but——"
He said seriously, "I need you to write a letter of guarantee, promising that you won't do it again."
"Ah?" Xia Linxing looked up blankly.
Letter of guarantee?
Xia Linxing, who had always been a good child in his previous life, had never written such things even during his most mischievous school days.
"What should be written in the letter of guarantee?" he asked cautiously.
Hmm? Xie Tinglan glanced at Xia Linxing thoughtfully.
If he remembered correctly, "Xia Linxing" was a professional self-critic when he was a student - he was caught no less than ten times just for skipping classes to visit him outside the school; every time, "Xia Linxing" read the guarantee letter on the podium with confidence, but he refused to change his actions.
But now, Xia Linxing acted... very unfamiliar, as if... he had never written it before.
Xie Tinglan said calmly: "Just like those letters of guarantee you wrote before..."
"Just write a couple of sentences to promise you won't make the same mistake again..."
"Oh oh..." Xia Linxing nodded obediently, not realizing that there was anything wrong with Xie Tinglan's words. "Then I'll go back and write now—"
"No need to go to such trouble..." Xie Tinglan grabbed Xia Linxing, who was trying to run away, and dragged him back by the collar, "Just write it here..."
"Ah... here?" Xia Linxing looked around with doubt on his face.
How to write here?
Xie Tinglan looked around the utility room and finally found the light switch behind a cardboard box.
“Pah—”
The lights came on, filling the entire utility room with brightness. Xie Tinglan dragged a small stool over and patted it, "Come, sit here."
As if performing magic, he took out a pen from somewhere and placed it in front of Xia Linxing along with a piece of paper.
"Write..."
"Just write a couple of sentences promising not to do it again."
Xia Linxing obediently said "Oh" and started writing according to what Xie Tinglan said.
Xie Tinglan stood beside him, watching Xia Linxing write each stroke with a gloomy expression.
"I've finished writing..." The sentence was not long, and Xia Linxing finished it quickly, then looked up at Xie Tinglan.
Xie Tinglan immediately calmed down and smiled as he pointed at the blank space in the lower right corner of the paper: "Sign here."
"Oh, okay." Xia Linxing had no doubt at all, lowered his head again, and signed his name at the position pointed by Xie Tinglan.
"Well, not bad..." Xie Tinglan's eyes moved slightly, he reached out and picked up the note, pretended to look at it twice, and then naturally put the note into his pocket.
From any perspective, this time, he can be said to have returned with a full load.
"Since you've already written the letter of guarantee, then let's just say this matter is—"
"Xia Linxing?"
Before Xie Tinglan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps outside.
"Xia Linxing, are you in there?"
