Sneaking a Look Into Class A
Sneaking a Look Into Class A
On the other end of the phone, Xu Xu called her a few times after noticing that she wasn't talking or hanging up.
"Huh?" Qiao Chen returned to her senses. When she called again, she calmed down a lot. "What is it?"
Xu Xu said awkwardly, "Um… I'm still in class. I sneaked out. I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, if Old Liu finds out that I didn't go back, he'll definitely scold me."
Disdain appeared in Qiao Chen's eyes. Not taking her situation to heart, she pretended to care about her. "By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you. Did you see Weibo yesterday? Zhui Guang's account was verified. She didn't forward Xue Ziang's statement, but she tagged Jiang Li and said that he was her brother. Did the school leak any news?"
She suspected that Qiao Nian was Zhui Guang, but she only had this thought and did not have direct evidence.
Xu Xu was stunned. "What news?"
Sometimes, Qiao Chen looked down on her stupid head. Controlling her temper, she said gently, "It's about Zhui Guang."
"Isn't Jiang Li Qiao Nian's brother? He even came to our school. Zhui Guang said that he's Jiang Li's sister. Didn't those people from Class A mention this?"
Xu Xu subconsciously shook her head, but remembering that Qiao Chen couldn't see it, she quickly said, "No, I didn't hear anyone mention this. Are you saying that Qiao Nian is Zhui Guang? Uh, no way? Why didn't she say that?"
Seeing that she knew nothing, Qiao Chen didn't say anything further. She lowered her eyes, restrained the uneasiness in the depths of her eyes, and changed the topic. "Aren't you going to class? Go quickly, lest you get scolded by the teacher."
Xu Xu had been out for a long time and was afraid of being asked by the teacher when she returned. Even if she wanted to talk to her more, she did not dare to delay.
"Then, I'll go back first."
Qiao Chen knew how to win people's hearts. She said softly, "Thank you, Xu Xu. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back to Rao City."
"Aren't we friends? What's wrong with helping you? You don't have to be polite with me." The girl's voice was cheerful and light. After saying that, she was filled with worry. "Okay, I'm going back."
"Yes."
Qiao Chen hung up and put down her phone. After arranging her makeup again, she saw the message Xu Xu had sent her.
[Chen Chen, congratulations on getting the gold award. I forgot to tell you on the phone. I knew you were better than that Qiao Nian!]
Qiao Chen expressionlessly replied with a perfunctory "thank you" and threw her phone back into her handbag. She then arrogantly reapplied her lipstick and returned to the private room.
…
When Xu Xu returned to the classroom, one class had just ended. When the bell rang, she was called to the chemistry teacher's office.
She walked behind the teacher with her head lowered the entire way. When she passed Class A, she thought of what Qiao Chen had asked her on the phone and couldn't help but crane her neck to look into the classroom…
The class had just ended.
The teacher held a cup of water and the textbook in one hand as he left the classroom. The class immediately dispersed like birds and beasts. Some went to the toilet while others went to look for their friends.
She tiptoed and looked at the classroom's back. She relaxed when she saw that Qiao Nian's seat was still empty.
The chemistry teacher happened to turn around and saw her looking around. He said something unhappily.
Xu Xu didn't dare to look around anymore and quickly followed him into the office.
