Then, she caught a glimpse of Xie Xinglin approaching out of the corner of her eyes. He grabbed the phone that was on the floor with his slender and beautiful fingers.
Her mind flashed to the male protagonist’s hand that she had seen in the video. Although it was not as exquisite as his(XX), but comparing the way the heroine’s wrist was tightly grabbed by the man and the way Xie Xinglin’s finger had grabbed the phone…
It was exactly the same.
No more thinking!!!
Stop!!!
No more!! Thinking!!
Su Qiuge’s ears were red and her mind was a disorderly mess of garbage. She had very obviously, already fallen apart, but she still forcibly pretended to be calm and unperturbed, “You, you don’t need to look at it. Quickly turn it off, it’s annoying me to death.”
Xie Xinglin unhurriedly leaned over and picked up the phone off the ground. He glanced at the video without a change in expression and then casually turned it off.
The sound finally disappeared and Su Qiuge let out a breath of relief as she collapsed on the chair. It was obvious that nothing actually happened, but after going through that, she felt like she’s been hollowed out.
And then, she seemed to have realized something and slowly raised her eyes, meeting Xie Xinglin’s gaze.
At this moment, Xie Xinglin glanced down at his phone and noticed that Han Ming had withdrawn a message from the group. When he saw the various messages of the groupchat, he probably also roughly understood the situation.
He casually turned the phone a few times before shoving it into his pocket.
For some reason, although Xie Xinglin clearly did not have any obvious expression, when Su Qiuge looked at him now, she felt that he appeared somewhat sloppy and even somewhat indescribable.
Xie Xinglin originally didn’t think much of it, but when he walked over, he happened to catch a glimpse of Su Qiuge’s penetratingly red ears despite her demeanor of pretending nothing happened.
He suddenly found it a little interesting. He was silent for a moment and then slowly said, “Interested in this type of knowledge?” After a pause, he added with deep meaning, “You seem quite thirsty for knowledge.”
She resisted the urge to cover her face as she turned her head to explain, “I didn’t mean to look at your conversations. The dialog box popped up by itself and who would’ve expected that I would accidentally click on it.”
Xie Xinglin quietly hummed a soft “mhm” in response, and then said leisurely, “It must be quite a novelty for you.”
But when he said this, his tone seemed to contain a hint of contempt. Su Qiuge felt that he was laughing at her, thinking that she didn’t understand anything.
Therefore, Su Qiuge was a little unhappy.
Although she’s never been involved in actual combat, she’s still taken biology classes before and knew all the basic knowledge.
So, she held the pen again, spinned it slowly, and then said with an indifferent expression, “There’s nothing novel about it.”
Maybe she was too relaxed after experiencing a crisis, but it seemed as if her brain failed to comprehend her own words. She leaned back on the swivel chair and said with slight disdain, “That woman’s acting was really too fake.”
She regretted it as soon as she finished because she noticed that Xie Xinglin was looking at her thoughtfully.
Then, he took out his phone, looked at her, and said in a light tone with a hint of ridicule, “Really? Then should we listen to it again, and then you and I can carefully analyze where it sounds fake.”
When Su Qiuge heard this, she almost choked on air, “No, no need. She’s really no good, I was embarrassed to death listening to her.”
She added dryly, “It’s really too fake, I don’t want to listen to it a second time.”
If she were to listen to it a second time, she might directly die on the spot and ascend to heaven. She might even dig out a living space with her toes. There’ll be three rooms, a living room, and two guards. Or she might even capture a magical castle and live there as queen instead.
Instead, Xie Xinglin very seriously said, “Really? Then do you have something better?”
Su Qiuge：“……”
Su Qiuge was incredulous as she said, “What do you mean, how could I have this type of thing, I……”
