Chapter 126: 126

Xie Xinglin lowered his eyes and stared at the lighter with a lazy expression. It was unknown what the girl in the strapless dress was talking to him about, but she seemed to be comforting him. Su Qiuge vaguely heard her say, “Qin Dongming is just jealous of you, don’t take it to heart. We have known each other for so long, how can I not know what kind of person you are?”

Xie Xinglin glanced down at her, there were no changes in his expression.

The girl revealed a shy smile, and then took the initiative to step forward and light the cigarette for him.

The hallway was dim and the light from the lighter illuminated his distinct silhouette and appearance in a split second. He held the cigarette and slowly bent over and lowered his head. From the scarlet cigarette butt, a misty haze rose up.

When he raised his eyes, Xie Xinglin’s gaze crossed over and fell on a girl. He fixedly stared at Su Qiuge, who was a distance away watching the show.

That girl in the strapless dress said something afterwards and it seemed to be some type of invitation, but it looked like he refused because the girl left with a disappointed expression on her face.

Su Qiuge originally wasn’t going to go up and greet him, but she felt that since he’s already seen her, then it wouldn’t be good if she didn’t greet him. Therefore, she walked over and said a “hi.” She avoided talking about what happened in the private room and instead, swept her gaze at the cigarette box in his hand and slowly said, “Seatmate, it says on the cigarette box that smoking is harmful to your health, you should pay attention to it.”

Xie Xinglin held the cigarette between his index and middle finger as he looked down at her. Then, he unhurriedly said, “The summer homework also says “happy summer vacation,” does it make you happy?”

Su Qiuge：“……”

It unexpectedly sounded rather reasonable, making it impossible for her to refute.

Su Qiuge thought for a moment, “Seatmate, are you unhappy right now?”

“I’ve heard that a lot of people drink or smoke when they’re unhappy to deal with their sorrow.”

Xie Xinglin leaned against the wall and his index finger faintly shook the cigarette. He didn’t respond to her question, but lazily asked, “What you did earlier, was it on purpose?”

Although the sentence was an interrogative one, the tone was actually full of confidence and certainty.

Su Qiuge saw that he decided to bring up this sensitive subject, so she explained, “I felt that you really wanted to beat him, but probably decided not to in consideration of Han Ming. That’s why he was able to go so far as to——”

She revealed a smile, “Since we are seatmates, then no matter what, I should naturally help you vent your anger. I was also upset with him for quite a while already. He kept rattling and chattering by himself, making so much noise that I couldn’t even play on my phone. Also, no one paid attention to him, but he kept performing on his own.”

The light in the corridor was somewhat dim. Xie Xinglin bit the cigarette and then turned his head sideways. He looked at her and suddenly said, “What he said was all true.”

Su Qiuge was taken aback, then responded with a question, “So what?”

Xie Xinglin was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her. There were some inexplicable emotions in them, “Were you taking pity on me earlier?”

But before Su Qiuge could answer, she saw Xie Xinglin reveal a sneer. Then, he took out the cigarette and indifferently said, “I’m not as fragile as you think. I won’t be depressed just because of a few words.”

Su Qiuge raised her head and looked towards him, her expression incredibly serious for once, “But if you could have done whatever you wanted just now, you definitely would have grabbed him by the collar and gave him a violent beating.”

“Actually, I really didn’t think that deeply about it earlier. I just couldn’t bear to see him slandering you like that, so I just did what I wanted to do.”

Xie Xinglin moved a little and his breathing faintly tightened. He looked at her with his black pupils as an unknown emotion flashed within its depth.

His eyes were in contrast with the dim lights of the hallway, making it difficult to understand the images within.

Su Qiuge was taken aback by his stare and didn’t notice the meaning within his eyes. Then she murmured, “Seatmate, even if a person declines, who knows if they will achieve success in the future or not, so don’t bother with those kinds of people.”

She was telling the truth.

Xie Xinglin extinguished the cigarette and slowly approached her. His body carried the fragrance of peppermint-scented smoke, and it didn’t cause one to cough when he neared. On the contrary, it smelled a little sweet.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her with a somewhat slovenly expression.

“It seems you know me quite well?”

Su Qiuge turned her head and pursed her lips, “Just so-so.”

Xie Xinglin raised his eyebrows, “Tell me about it?”

She thought about it for a moment, then said very slowly, “Although your words can be very aggravating sometimes, I have to admit that you are still a good person.”

Xie Xinglin watched as she sent him a good person card. Then, he took a step forward, lowered his eyes, and curled his lips, “Really?”

Su Qiuge couldn’t help but take a step back. Xie Xinglin noticed her actions and did not move further.

Soon afterwards, Su Qiuge directly gave him a wave, “I’ll go back first.”

Who would have imagined that when she entered the private room, Xie Xinglin also followed in after her.
