After saying this, Zhou Changgui felt increasingly guilty.
"I thought everything was fine, but I never expected it to turn out like this. I really don't know how to face him..."
Zhao Xuehui was at a loss for words after hearing Zhou Changgui's words.
She was initially angry because Zhou Changgui had used her younger brother's poems without permission, put his own name on them, and published them in a journal.
But seeing Zhou Changhui like this, it was clear he didn't mean it, so Zhao Xuehui could only nod reluctantly, but she felt worse than if she had swallowed a fly.
Zhou Changgui was someone she really liked, but now this misunderstanding has happened.
Now, she not only doesn't know how to face her younger brother, but she also doesn't know how to face Zhou Changgui in front of her.
However, Zhou Changgui's words ultimately struck a chord with Zhao Xuehui.
She had originally intended to take this opportunity to properly apologize to Jiang Sheng.
Zhou Changgui's sudden appearance today was completely unexpected for her.
Originally, she was just about to ask Zhou Changgui to see what kind of explanation he would give her.
But after hearing Zhou Changgui's words, Zhao Xuehui realized that he also had his own difficulties.
Zhao Xuehui couldn't bring herself to say anything blaming, and could only sigh helplessly.
“Okay,” she nodded reluctantly and said, “Actually, I think you didn’t mean it. Since it was all just a misunderstanding, I’ll talk to my brother and find a chance to have a meal together. He’s not a petty person, he shouldn’t take it to heart.”
Seeing that Zhao Xuehui's words seemed genuine and sincere, Zhou Changgui felt completely relieved.
"That's good!"
Zhou Changgui let out a breath and smiled apologetically at Zhao Xuehui: "As long as you're not angry, that's fine. When I saw the poem published in the newspaper, I belatedly realized that I had done something wrong. I was afraid that you and I would misunderstand me, and I was always uneasy. I can only feel at ease when you are not angry."
For some reason, Zhao Xuehui instinctively wanted to interrupt Zhou Changgui after hearing his words.
However, seeing that Zhou Changgui didn't seem to be faking it, Zhao Xuehui had no choice but to nod.
"Teacher Zhou, you don't need to worry about this. Let's not talk about it anymore. I have to go to work right away. We can have dinner together another time."
Seeing that Zhao Xuehui was no longer going to bring up the matter, Zhou Changgui was eager to change the subject, so he nodded without hesitation.
"Then I'll take Xuehui back to work first. We can't be late for work."
Zhao Xuehui didn't know why she used to always look forward to spending more time with Zhou Changgui, but now, after hearing Zhou Changgui's words, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It's as if you can't wait to leave the other person.
Of course, Zhou Changgui was so convinced that his scheme had succeeded that he didn't notice anything amiss with Zhao Xuehui.
Seeing Zhao Xuehui nod at him, he smiled and walked alongside her as usual, telling her things he thought were interesting.
Seeing Zhao Xuehui walking beside him, nodding occasionally in agreement, Zhou Changgui completely let go of his worries.
As long as Zhao Xuehui remains the same as before, she can rest assured.
At this moment, Su Ruoxue, who had accompanied Xu Jianian back to her home, followed her into the bedroom.
Xu Jianian lay sprawled on the bed, completely relaxed.
"I'm exhausted from shopping, I want to get some sleep," Xu Jianian said, turning over to Su Ruoxue beside him. "Xue'er, why don't you stay at my place tonight? I'll have my mom call your mom."
Su Ruoxue was bored staying at home alone, and more importantly, she wanted to know something about Jiang Sheng from Xu Jianian.
Therefore, Su Ruoxue nodded in agreement without hesitation when faced with Xu Jianian's words.
"no problem!"
As she spoke, she lay down next to Xu Jianian and exhaled: "But then again, this Jiang Sheng is very handsome, and he's also a top student at Peking University. Xiao Nian, could you introduce me to him later?"
When she said her last sentence, Su Ruoxue gave Xu Jianian a teasing smile with a hint of mockery.
Xu Jianian was taken aback at first, then, seeing Su Ruoxue's teasing smile, she realized that the other woman was deliberately mocking her.
Xu Jianian blushed deeply and stammered, unsure of what to say.
"You, me, how could you say that!"
Xu Jianian was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. But when he saw Su Ruoxue's teasing smile, he blushed and spoke.
"We're just friends. At most, we only met by chance because of Teacher Zhou. Apart from helping him and letting his sister see Teacher Zhou's true colors, there's nothing else between us. Don't overthink it!"
Su Ruoxue indeed pursed her lips, not believing Xu Jianian's words at all.
"Don't try to make me believe you with your words. First, think about whether you believe what you're saying."
When Su Ruoxue asked him that question, Xu Jianian was truly stumped.
However, Xu Jianian and Jiang Sheng didn't actually interact that many times, so it's hard to say that they liked each other.
Adding to the questions Su Ruoxue had just asked, Xu Jianian couldn't help but ponder for a long time, carefully considering what his feelings for Jiang Sheng truly were.
They hadn't interacted that many times, so it's hard to say whether he liked her or not. But if you really want to say he didn't like her, every time Xu Jianian saw Jiang Sheng, he always felt a sense of joy and excitement that he couldn't ignore even if he wanted to.
These feelings couldn't be faked, and Xu Jianian could only attribute it all to the fact that she did have some feelings for Jiang Sheng. Apart from that, she really couldn't explain anything else.
Xu Jianian remained silent, but Su Ruoxue, seeing this, felt even more certain that she had guessed correctly.
She couldn't help but blink, but dared not be too blunt.
She knew her good friend very well, and if she accidentally said something a little too much and made the girl angry, that would be bad.
Thinking this through, Su Ruoxue carefully crafted her thoughts.
