Ye Zhizhou stood up from Qin Xuan's embrace, now standing just one step below Qin Xuan.
"I didn't want to disturb your sleep..."
She was unaware of the blush on her face, and Qin Xuan couldn't help but smile, "If it's you, then it's not really an intrusion."
The girls in Class 3 almost screamed when they saw this scene. They were all whispering among themselves, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at Ye Zhizhou, wishing that Qin Xuan liked them instead.
Qin Xuan held Ye Zhizhou's shoulders and led her up the steps. Then he bent down and tied Ye Zhizhou's loose shoelaces.
Ye Zhizhou suddenly realized that she herself hadn't noticed that her shoelaces were loose, but Qin Xuan had noticed it.
"Leave this to me," Qin Xuan whispered in her ear.
Just as Ye Zhizhou was about to retort, Qin Xuan approached Qiao Shuxu. Qiao Shuxu's attitude towards Qin Xuan was completely different from her attitude towards Ye Zhizhou.
Before Qin Xuan could even speak, Qiao Shuxu volunteered, "I'll go with you to the principal's office, and I'll tell you everything."
Shu Qiong glanced at Qiao Shuxu, but ultimately said nothing, letting Qiao Shuxu and Qin Xuan leave.
Principal's Office.
“Principal, I framed Ye Zhizhou. Her brother, being a celebrity, insisted on coming to the school to see her in the limelight, causing traffic jams at the school gate for several days. I was so angry that I did this.”
Qiao Shuxu's emotions were perfectly calm, as if she were talking about something completely ordinary.
Ye Zhizhou looked at him suspiciously. The flustered Qiao Shuxu from before seemed to have disappeared. It seemed that his previous behavior was all an act.
Qin Xuan is truly remarkable. He managed to get Qiao Shuxu to come over without saying a word. She was very curious about what Qin Xuan had done in the past that made them so afraid.
The principal said earnestly, "Qiao Shuxu, you are a top student in Class 3. How could you do such a thing? Quickly apologize sincerely to Ye Zhizhou. These past few days, we have all misunderstood her because of you, and some classmates have even developed prejudices against her."
Ye Zhizhou had to admit that sometimes when students have problems, the principal should also take responsibility. Luckily, it was her who cheated; she has a strong mentality. If it had been someone more fragile, they would have already become withdrawn.
“Principal, I think it’s not just Qiao Shuxu. Qiao Shuxu’s seat is far away from me. How did he manage to give the exact same answer as me?”
The principal frowned and advised, "Ye Zhizhou, since he has already confessed, can you please stop pursuing this matter?"
Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "No."
Just because Qiao Shuxu confessed doesn't mean she has no choice but to accept it. Even if the principal pleads for her, she won't agree.
Qin Xuan agreed, "She's right, why can't we pursue this?"
Qin Xuan also spoke up for Ye Zhizhou, which put the principal in a difficult position. Qin Xuan's situation at the school was rather special, and out of consideration for Huo Qingyan, the principal could not afford to offend Qin Xuan. In addition, Qin Xuan's excellent grades meant that losing such a good student would be a loss for the school.
"Qiao Shuxu, did you really do this all by yourself?"
Left with no other option, the principal turned his attention to Qiao Shuxu, but Qiao Shuxu remained silent and refused to say anything.
“Even if you don’t tell, it will be found out sooner or later. It’s no use protecting that person.” Ye Zhizhou thought of the two names he had circled and basically decided who to go find next.
Even if Qiao Shuxu doesn't say it, she can find ways to get others to say it; people are selfish.
Qiao Shuxu's lips were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, and she looked very conflicted.
"I'm willing to tell her, but you have to promise me you'll take full responsibility for this and won't cause her any trouble."
Ye Zhizhou already vaguely knew who it was, and casually said, "Okay, I promise you."
"It's Chen Jing." Qiao Shuxu finally managed to utter three words after a long pause.
Ye Zhizhou was slightly speechless. This must have been something Shu Qiong had planned long ago. With Chen Jing's brain, how could she possibly keep going around in circles without giving a straight answer?
Let's go.
She was certain that even if she asked him a hundred times, Qiao Shuxu might not tell her, so there was no need to waste her time on him.
Qin Xuan didn't say much and accompanied Ye Zhizhou out.
After leaving the principal's office, Ye Zhizhou walked ahead and whispered, "How did you know I was in Class 3?"
Qin Xuan took larger steps to walk alongside her, saying, "Ms. Huo said so."
Ye Zhizhou turned to look at him, "Why don't you call her Mom? Calling her Ms. Huo makes you feel distant."
Qin Xuan glanced at his watch, didn't answer her question, and directly changed the subject, "Want to go relax a bit?"
Ye Zhizhou asked in confusion, "Relax?"
Half an hour later, at Qingyueju.
"You mean relaxing... just drinking tea?" Ye Zhizhou looked at the exquisitely decorated shop, unsure of what to say.
Qin Xuan nodded, "Yes, the tea here is very good. Would you like to come in and try some?"
Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan had taken leave specifically to come here. Ye Zhizhou thought to herself, if she had known they were coming here to drink tea, she would have preferred to attend a longer class.
"Bring a pot of 'Green Pool Snowflakes'."
Qin Xuan chose a seat by the window; he frequented this spot and had already made it his usual place.
Ye Zhizhou sat down with him, flipped through the menu, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. The price of each tea here was basically over a thousand. No wonder there were so few people in the store. A big shot is a big shot. Even when he invites people to drink tea, he has such good taste.
The "Bitan Piaoxue" he ordered wasn't even the most expensive dish in the restaurant; it was already close to two thousand yuan.
"Qin family tutor, are you really only seventeen years old?" Ye Zhizhou closed the menu and looked at Qin Xuan seriously.
Qin Xuan hummed in agreement.
Ye Zhizhou was speechless. If it weren't for his divine appearance, Qin Xuan's personality would make people believe he was a retired senior cadre.
"You're here! We'll have to have a few more drinks today." The boss was a man who looked to be in his thirties, and his clothes exuded a clean and tidy appearance.
"He even brought a young girl with him today; it's quite romantic."
The boss continued to joke, and Ye Zhizhou smiled back at him, which was considered a greeting.
"Remember to brew the tea properly, don't embarrass me." Qin Xuan looked at him with a calm expression.
The boss patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry about that. Would you like some dessert?"
Qin Xuan looked at Ye Zhizhou. He didn't particularly like desserts, but if Ye Zhizhou liked them, he would eat with him.
"No need." Ye Zhizhou wasn't very interested in the desserts; she was more curious about just how good the tea was that Qin Xuan was so insistent on it.
"His name is Shen Xingwen, you can call him Lao Shen from now on," Qin Xuan introduced to Ye Zhizhou.
Shen Xingwen was displeased. "Call me Brother Shen, not Old Shen. I'm thirty years old this year. Don't be so disrespectful."
When Shen Xingwen looked at Ye Zhizhou, he smiled, like a kind older brother.
"Come over for tea whenever you're free, and use his card."
Ye Zhizhou glanced at Qin Xuan, remembered the balance in his card, and shook his head, saying, "No need, I have money."
Qin Xuan took out his bank card and handed it to Ye Zhizhou, saying, "This is my mother's supplementary card. You can use it. The password is my birthday."
Ye Zhizhou wanted to refuse, but seeing Qin Xuan's attitude, he had no choice but to accept it, casually asking, "When is your birthday?"
Qin Xuan smiled, "This Saturday."
