After Transmigration, the Male Lead and I Had a HE Chapter 147
He stared at the assignment in front of him with lowered eyes. The incandescent light of the classroom was shining down and at this moment, he felt that the densely packed data and words on the paper was a bottomless vortex. The disorder and compactness gave people an indescribable sense of suffocation.
What the woman said yesterday seemed to be still ringing in his ears, reminding him of those nightmares from around ten years ago, nightmares that he didn’t want to be reminded of.
And at this moment, the corner of Xie Xinglin’s clothes was pulled by someone. The force instantly allowed him to escape from his memories, as if pulling him out of a deep whirlpool.
He raised his eyes and looked at Su Qiuge, who had packed her schoolbag a long time ago. The other had already stood up. She blinked her eyes and said full of joy and expectation, “Regardless of the consequences, just do what you want to do. What will happen tomorrow, we can deal with it tomorrow.”
Her expression carried a smile and the overhead light shone from behind her. The originally pale light was changed into a warm sunlight color by her appearance, and shone onto his body.
In that split second, it was as if the gods and demons were at work as Xie Xinglin left his seat and let her lead him away.
Their movement couldn’t be considered large, but it still caused the surrounding people to notice. They saw Su Qiuge carrying her backpack and they all looked at her as if seeing a ghost.
“Xiao Su, there’s evening self-study tonight, why are you carrying your backpack?”
Su Qiuge merely smiled and said, “It’s some trivial matter, nothing serious.”
Not only were the classmates surprised, but Director Xu, who was patrolling the hallways after having dinner at school, was even more shocked. He watched blankly as a girl carrying a pink school bag pulled a boy’s hand and rushed out of the classroom. Evening self-study had just officially started, yet they passed him like a gust of wind.
The girl’s schoolbag even bumped into his head and the girl quickly said in passing, “Sorry sorry, we’re in a hurry.”
Director Xu subconsciously responded, “It’s alright.”
When he finished speaking and finally reacted, he abruptly turned his head and saw that the two of them had already gone down the stairs. Like a wisp of smoke, they had run far away in an instant.
Wait, these two students actually ran away from evening self-study right in front of him???
A few heads popped out of the window of the class and looked over while shouting “666.”
**t/n: “666” -- Chinese slang meaning someone did something very well/smoothly/professionally/without mistake, etc.
Director Xu took a deep breath all the way down into his throat, turned around, and ran in the direction the two went. He chased them, “You two, the evening self-study has started, where are you going?”
Su Qiuge heard Director Xu’s roar and was practically jumping down the stairs three steps at a time. Xie Xinglin had long legs and was able to naturally follow after her.
Su Qiuge explained as she ran, “Since we are skipping class, we can’t go through the main entrance anyways. Let’s go to the place where you jumped over the wall last time to escape.”
She glanced at the time on her phone, “The food street’s activity starts at 8 o’clock. If we go now, we should be able to make it.”
When they arrived at the location where Su Yuanzhou had flipped over the wall last time, Su Qiuge patted him and said, “Seatmate, you squat down and let me step on you.”
Xie Xinglin calmly stared at her when he heard what she said, then faintly raised his brows.
It was then that Su Qiuge reacted and remembered that he was upset today and needed to be comforted. It was better to not let him make the sacrifice.
Therefore, she changed her words, “Then I’ll squat down and you…..lightly step on me?”
“And after you get out, help pull me out.”
At this moment, the light of a flashlight illuminated over, revealing the silhouettes of the two people beside the wall.
Su Qiuge was anxious now, “It’s over, it’s over, we’ve been discovered by Old Xu’s magic mirror. Hurry hurry, step on me and climb up.”
She spoke halfway when she suddenly discovered that she had soared into the air.
She was lifted up by the boy behind her with his arm around her waist.
There was no change in his expression and his actions made Su Qiuge doubt that perhaps for him, she was light as a feather.
Su Qiuge was stunned for a long time and when the flashlight came over again, she immediately stepped onto the wall and was about to pull him up. But at this moment, Xie Xinglin’s hand pressed against the wall and was right next to her canvas shoes. Then, in the blink of an eye, he had already jumped up.
Su Qiuge：“……”
She seemed to have forgotten that he had flipped over the wall just like this last time.
Therefore, the two of them treated the wall of the school gate as child’s play under Directory Xu’s piercing gaze. They quickly jumped off the wall and then disappeared into the night.
Director Xu’s flustered and exasperated roar could be heard from behind them, “You’re finished!! Finished!!”
But for some reason, Su Qiuge actually laughed.
She laughed louder and louder, and when they arrived at the subway station, she turned around and said to Xie Xinglin, “Seatmate, isn’t it exciting? This campus battle royale, we’ve won again!!”
Although she knew that the consequences of this victory would be a great storm when they return to school tomorrow.
But she didn’t want to care about that right now.
Xie Xinglin didn’t say anything, but stared at her hand that had grabbed his wrist just now out of nervousness.
The food street was particularly lively tonight due to the various activities taking place. The street had several shops clustered together and the aroma of hot pot restaurants drifted down from upstairs. A long line had already appeared at the corner of the street that was selling
durian pastries.
There was a child selling balloons in the middle of the street. The balloons had all sorts of shapes, and the child was also very clever. When they saw Su Qiuge and Xie Xinglin walking together, they said to Xie Xinglin, “Little [big] brother, buy a balloon for your girlfriend.”
Su Qiuge was originally drinking milk tea and when she heard these words, she almost sprayed it out. She was about to say “I’m not” when she saw Xie Xinglin walk forward very naturally and choose a Hello Kitty balloon. He paid for it and then handed it to Su Qiuge.
Su Qiuge was a bit hesitant as she looked at the balloon. Then she very slowly accepted it. She had previously bought a lot of food when passing by and now she had difficulty holding everything. Xie Xinglin noticed this and took the balloon back. Then he tied the balloon string to her wrist.
A pink string was tied into a bow on her slender wrist and Su Qiuge was distracted by his movements that could be considered gentle, as if he was handling a fragile treasure.
When he lowered his eyes, the outline of his eyes wasn’t as sharp as usual, giving people a feeling of gentleness.
Xie Xinglin raised his eyes and gazed back at her. After a while, he lightly said, “Those kindergarten kids who would accidentally let their balloons fly away, their fathers would tie it to their wrist like this.”
Su Qiuge: “......”
Oh.
