Chapter 37

A few days after Girls' Day, Mo Xiahan always felt that something was wrong with Qiu Yi. In the past, during training, they always played with great force, and collisions were completely normal things.

But now, although Qiu Yi himself did not say any reason, he was obviously much more careful during training. Even during the breaks, when the boys were talking arm in arm, Qiu Yi would hold his hands together and slightly turn sideways to reduce the contact distance as much as possible, always looking like he was protecting something.

Mo Xiahan squinted her eyes and scanned Qiu Yi's body for a long time. Yes, Qiu Yi had a white wristband on his wrist. Although it was just a small thing and inconspicuous, she still keenly noticed that Qiu Yi took great care of this thing.

Mo Xiahan had heard about Qiu Yi's family background from his classmates and friends eight hundred years ago. With his family background, he would definitely not feel sorry for a small wristband. So, if it wasn't that the item itself was important, then the person who gave it to Qiu Yi was very important.

If it was the parents or elders at home who picked out the gifts, they would have been generous and would definitely not be interested in such a small thing as a wristband. It was not Qiu Yi's birthday recently, and the only special day was the Girls' Day that just passed a while ago. If it was a girl who gave the gift, it did make sense. Coupled with the time when the wristband appeared, Mo Xiahan was basically certain that it was given to Qiu Yi by that girl on Girls' Day.

Qiu Yi must have received many confessions before, but he has never responded to anyone, let alone accepted gifts from girls and brought them out openly. If he did this, the girl must be very special to Qiu Yi. Mo Xiahan was a little confused. She had observed Qiu Yi for a period of time before, and knew from many channels around her that Qiu Yi was not particularly close to any girl, but this did not rule out the possibility that the other party was not a student of this school at all.

Mo Xiahan thought about it and felt that it was necessary to find someone to ask about this matter.

"Wrist guard?" Tao Luanxi was a little surprised. He looked at Mo Xiahan in silence for a long time and said, "Qiu Yi is wearing a wrist guard?"

Mo Xiahan folded his arms and nodded seriously: "Although this guy looks nonchalant, his behavior is very telling. Previously, Xing Xing slipped and hit Qiu Yi's wrist while dribbling the ball. Qiu Yi's expression must have been as if he wanted to eat Xing Xing alive."

"……oh."

Mo Xiahan was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice that Tao Luanxi beside him lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, pretending to organize materials.

"No matter how I think about it, it feels wrong. His behavior is so strange. Did he tell you where he got the wristband from?"

"...No." Tao Luanxi seemed to focus all his energy on the book on the table, studying the name of the biological experiment on the cover seriously.

"I'm telling you, Qiu Yi definitely has someone he likes!" Mo Xiahan's voice sounded like he had discovered some shocking secret: "He loves her like a treasure. I dug so hard before but couldn't find her!"

Tao Luanxi paused, looked up at Mo Xiahan, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Qiu Yi's personality was definitely not that of a low-key person, and he must have stated it many times before, but Mo Xiahan only saw the information he had found and simply didn't believe it.

Mo Xiahan squinted his eyes and approached Tao Luanxi: "What do you want to say? Do you know who that girl is? Tell me quickly!"

"..." Tao Luanxi's face was filled with black lines. What the hell was he going to say?

"Tell me! You have such a good relationship with him, you must know!"

"……I have no idea."

Mo Xiahan was angry: "Okay, you're going to help Qiu Yi and keep it a secret from me, right? What can I do if I know? That little girl is made of water and can't be touched? Is it necessary for one, two, and three to protect her with their mouths shut? Can I eat her up in one bite? I just want to know who my rival in love is and what he looks like, so what?"

Tao Luanxi knew the truth but couldn't tell it, so she could only listen to Mo Xiahan getting angry in silence.

Mo Xiahan took out his cell phone and was fiddling with something: "I have to find out who this girl is today. You won't tell me, right? I'll check it myself!"

After saying this, Mo Xiahan left angrily. Later, Tao Luanxi found out that Mo Xiahan had also made a private appointment with Zhang Zhi, and used threats and inducements to find out from him who Qiu Yi liked. Zhang Zhi didn't know what he said. The two had a big fight in the coffee shop and finally left unhappily. When Zhang Zhi left, he was ruthlessly splashed with coffee.

Zhang Zhi was furious when he thought of this incident. He felt heartbroken and angry. "That was my favorite T-shirt. I bought it myself and regretted it after wearing it for only a few times because it was stained with coffee. If it wasn't a woman, I would have sent him straight to the hospital!"

Qiu Yi didn't say anything, but leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, laughing: "You deserve it. Who asked you to go to the appointment? You should have avoided it when you saw that it was Mo Xiahan who invited you."

Zhang Zhi rolled his eyes: "Do you think that girl doesn't know? She's very smart! She asked me out by claiming to be the most beautiful girl in her class. Otherwise, how could I have survived after eating so much?"

"Speaking of which, this matter is still your fault!" Zhang Zhi saw that Qiu Yi just smiled and had no sympathy, so he pushed him angrily: "Didn't you explain it to him clearly a long time ago? You want to be friends with your sweetheart, don't you have any morals?"

"How do you know I didn't say it?" Qiu Yi glanced at him calmly and said, "Mo Xiahan is a fool. I can't understand what he says. What can I do?"

Qiu Yi leaned over and came to Tao Luanxi: "She even went to ask Zhang Zhi, did she look for you?"

How can there not be?

Tao Luanxi looked depressed: "She asked me if I knew that you had someone in your heart."

"What this guy did is called 'hiding'? He is just short of finding a big speaker to hang on his body and playing 'I Like Tao Luanxi' on a loop 24 hours a day, okay?" Zhang Zhi complained speechlessly.

Qiu Yi seemed not to have heard anything. He stared at Tao Luanxi with burning eyes and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "How did you answer?"

"I don't know."

Qiu Yi laughed: "You are lying!"

Zhang Zhi stood aside and watched the two flirting back and forth, frowning and saying sincerely: "You two are so disgusting, I want to vomit."

"Turn right out of the restroom. You're welcome."

Qiu Yi's words were both ruthless and cold. Zhang Zhi rolled his eyes, knowing full well that he, a cannon fodder, should go wherever it was cool, so he tactfully prepared to go to the restroom.

Just as he reached the door, a figure rushed in, bumped into Zhang Zhi's arm and rushed into Class A. Zhang Zhi was knocked down and stumbled against the door frame. He cursed and turned to the person who rushed in, "Don't you have eyes when you walk? You saw someone and you still rushed in!"

The person who came in was Mo Xiahan. He didn't even glance at Zhang Zhi, and stared at Qiu Yi intently: "What is it about that girl that attracts you so much?"

Qiu Yi frowned slightly, tilted his head and looked at her impatiently: "Why should I tell you this?"

"So there really is such a person, right?"

!!!!

Tao Luanxi was shocked. Do all girls speak in this way nowadays?

Qiu Yi shrugged: "I said it from the beginning."

"Who is she?"

Now the distance between Mo Xiahan and Tao Luanxi was no more than half a meter. The other party looked like a wife looking for a mistress. Tao Luanxi watched silently, feeling indescribably guilty.

Qiu Yi pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds, not looking at Tao Luanxi who was trying hard to reduce his presence.

"I don't have to tell you."

"You have to give me a fair chance. She is a woman and so am I. How can she have something more than me?"

Tao Luanxi blushed silently, and before Mo Xiahan could notice, a low laugh broke the tense atmosphere. Mo Xiahan turned around angrily and saw Zhang Zhi who was covering his mouth with his hand and had not had time to retract his smile.

Zhang Zhi felt a chill on his back from being glared at, but he was unwilling to give in to the girl for the sake of face, so he gritted his teeth and argued: "What's wrong? You won't even let me laugh? You're more controlling than God!"

Mo Xiahan snorted and said proudly: "I don't talk to people who have no looks and no power."

Zhang Zhidu came back, sneered and left first.

Mo Xiahan turned around and saw many students from Class A behind him were watching the excitement silently with their eyes closed. Although Mo Xiahan never cared about other people's eyes, it was obviously not a suitable place to talk.

"Practice tonight, I'll wait for you at the basketball court."

Mo Xiahan left after she finished speaking, but the excitement behind her was not over yet. It was already known to everyone that Mo Xiahan was pursuing Qiu Yi in a high-profile manner. Mo Xiahan was beautiful and tall, and standing next to Qiu Yi, they were a perfect match of handsome man and beautiful woman, very pleasing to the eyes. In addition, they also came from good families, so privately, many people felt that it was only a matter of time before Qiu Yi was taken down.

The bell rang and the classroom gradually returned to silence. Qiu Yi approached Tao Luanxi and whispered, "No training today. Let's go eat."

When it was time to get out of school, the two of them packed up and Tao Luanxi turned on her phone to check the messages. She found a message in the Youth League branch group saying that each class had materials to pick up. The materials had been classified and placed in the archive room, and the Youth League branch secretaries of each class had to go and pick them up themselves.

"I have to go to the archives first."

Qiu Yi nodded: "I'll wait for you."

It was already late when Qiu Yi finished cleaning up. When he brought the materials into Class A, the classroom was already empty and there was no one in the corridor.

When they were about to go downstairs, they suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps coming up the stairs. Tao Luanxi vaguely heard someone talking, a girl's voice. The voice was very familiar. Tao Luanxi turned to look at Qiu Yi, and sure enough, he saw that his brows were furrowed and he looked impatient.

Seeing the other side's footsteps approaching, Tao Luanxi thought for a moment: "Why don't I go first!"

Qiu Yi grabbed his shoulders and pulled him in front of him, whispering, "Do me a favor."

Before Tao Luanxi could answer, Qiu Yi had already leaned forward, and his handsome face was infinitely magnified in front of Tao Luanxi's eyes——

Author's words: Qiu will never admit that he is taking advantage of Tao Luanxi. Yi: If you don't believe me when I say I like Tao Luanxi, then I can only show you [spread my hands]
