Are you afraid I'll ignore you?
"Um!"
Gu Xingchen nodded.
"Many female classmates like you. I don't think I'm as good as you say, and besides, you're not as bad as you say."
Qin Yaxin thought her tone was flat and devoid of any emotion, but little did she know that Gu Xingchen sensed a hint of sourness in her voice. This realization stirred up a strange emotion within him.
"I didn't speak to them first. In my heart, I only have eyes for you, and I only want to grow together with you!"
Gu Xingchen's eyes were firm, and her tone was very decisive.
"You...you're done talking, right? See you tomorrow!"
Not knowing how to respond, Qin Yaxin pushed her bicycle around the other person, then got on her bicycle and rode several meters away in no time.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Suddenly, Qin Yaxin snapped out of her daze and quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any more strange laughter.
Yes, in the instant she came to her senses, she realized she was smiling foolishly.
Looking annoyed, Qin Yaxin clenched her left fist and lightly tapped her head, muttering to herself, "What am I thinking about?"
My older brother is already suspicious. If he finds out that she's not studying properly and is thinking about the boys in her class, he'll definitely give her a good scolding!
If her older brother suspected her of lying because she came home late from school this afternoon and because of what she said, there's no reason why her sister-in-law wouldn't be suspicious.
Qin Yaxin rested her chin on her fists, elbows on the table, and looked at the open textbook in front of her with a worried expression.
What should we do?
Do you want to be friends with Gu Xingchen?
But she really didn't want to be like her older sister, Qin Yaqing, who was fooled by a few sweet words from a male classmate!
However... Gu Xingchen is good-looking, has a good personality, and always gives the correct answer when called on by the teacher in class, which shows that he is also excellent in academics.
If we miss this opportunity, it might be for a lifetime...
Being friends with him now is just a slightly closer relationship than that of ordinary classmates; it doesn't mean she's dating him or planning to be together in the future.
But once you've established a friendship, if you want to develop it further, it's like having an advantage of being close to someone.
This is definitely better!
Biting her lip, Qin Yaxin made a decision.
Anyway, she didn't agree to anything after school that afternoon, nor did she explicitly refuse. At worst, he could talk to her again later.
She responded to him, and she... avoided talking to him whenever possible, lest her classmates gossip about her behind her back.
"Have you talked to your second sister?"
Song Lan rolled over on the bed, lying on her side facing Qin Yanzheng. Hearing her question, Qin Yanzheng, who had been lying on his back, rolled over to face Song Lan. He first hummed in agreement, and then said, "I didn't get any information."
"I don't understand what you're saying."
With a slight frown, Song Lan poked the man's chest with her index finger: "Explain in more detail."
Qin Yanzheng grasped her index finger that was pointing at him, and his gentle voice escaped his lips: "She said she didn't lie."
That's it?
Song Lan didn't believe it, not because she didn't believe Qin Yanzheng's words, but because she didn't believe Qin Yaxin's claim that she "didn't lie."
“I asked her several times and explained the reasons to her, but her answer never changed.”
Qin Yanzheng paused as he spoke, then asked, "What are you worried about?"
Song Lan retorted, "You don't know?"
"Should I know something?"
Qin Yanzheng was completely confused.
"You men are so carefree, you only care about what you want to care about, and nothing else matters."
Song Lan looked at her with disdain.
"Honey, you can't wrong me. I care about you, the kids, and our family!"
Qin Yanzheng defended himself.
Other men may be carefree, but he is definitely not that kind of person!
"Don't you care about your eldest sister, second brother and second sister, youngest brother and youngest sister, or even Dad?"
Song Lan asked.
“I didn’t say that.”
Qin Yanzheng denied it, and then said, "When I said 'our family,' I meant Dad and my younger sister."
Song Lan: "Didn't you think about why your second sister didn't come home from school on time this afternoon?"
“I remember you said that my second sister was either kept after school by the teacher or delayed by something else…”
Before Qin Yanzheng could continue, Song Lan interrupted him: "Alright, I said it, you don't need to repeat yourself. Actually..."
Actually, I suspect my second sister is dating someone at school. You might not have noticed, but I've felt she's been acting strangely for the past week.
"I didn't understand."
Qin Yanzheng felt that his brain wasn't working properly, and he couldn't fully understand what his wife was saying.
As a result, he was quite worried at the moment!
"You know what my intuition is? For the past week, my intuition has been telling me that my second sister is hiding something from us."
This afternoon, she didn't come home on time after school. When you asked her why...
She was clearly distracted; when she came to her senses, her gaze darted away from us, which meant she was definitely hiding something from us.
"Even so, how did you come to the conclusion that my second sister was dating someone at school?"
Qin Yanzheng was still puzzled.
Song Lan: "Aside from dating, I can't think of anything else my second sister would hide from us."
Qin Yanzheng: "Why don't you hide other things from me?"
"Have you forgotten Second Sister's fighting skills?"
Song Lan said, "In our family, although my second sister's skills can't compare to my second brother's, she can handle one or two adults without any problem, let alone those teenagers at school."
Furthermore, my second sister isn't the type to suffer losses easily. If she encounters something difficult at school, she'll definitely tell us when she gets home so we can help her solve the problem.
The only thing she would absolutely never mention at home is dating during her school years!
Are you so sure?
Qin Yanzheng looked puzzled.
Song Lan didn't mince words; she stated directly, "I once told my second sister that she should focus all her attention on her studies during her school years."
Don't think about anything else. If I find you not studying properly and getting into trouble, don't blame me for getting a beating.
After a pause, Song Lan continued, "To make a deeper impression on her, I specifically brought up a couple of things from my younger sister's past. Logically, she shouldn't have acted knowingly, knowing the consequences..."
We could repeat the path our eldest sister took, but our second sister is currently at the age where she's just starting to experience romantic feelings; there's no guarantee she won't take a liking to some male classmate.
"My second sister is smarter than my eldest sister. She...she shouldn't be fooled by boys."
Qin Yanzheng was a little unsure about what he was saying, after all, he wasn't Qin Yaxin herself, but if you were to compare Qin Yaxin and Qin Yaqing, he genuinely felt that his second sister, Qin Yaxin, was more clever than his eldest sister, Qin Yaqing.
She probably won't be like Qin Yaqing back then, blinded by a boy's sweet words and chasing after him to a remote rural area.
"I hope so."
Song Lan naturally didn't want Qin Yaxin to follow the same path as Qin Yaqing. She thought she should take some time to have a good talk with her sister-in-law herself.
Even if you have a male classmate you're close to at school, you shouldn't believe everything they say.
