After Transmigration, the Male Lead and I Had a HE Chapter 174

All the darkness was expelled by this sudden light, together with the ambiguity and entanglement they had in the dark.

It was like going through an extremely short but crazy night where everyone lost their minds.
Then after the hangover and sobering up, they finally ushered in the day.

The sounds of students’ disappointed sighs came from outside.

“Ah…Why was it fixed so fast? Our school did it so quickly this time.
When the air conditioners failed before, I didn't see them take action this fast.”

“Are you still going to the playground to play, ah?”

“Go play with a chicken*.
Can’t you see that Xu Bald Head is coming? Let's go.”

[t/n: Chicken or 鸡 is also used as slang for prostitute.]

Director Xu was patrolling in the corridor, driving all the students back into their classrooms.
Throughout the corridor, his scolding voice could be heard–

“Isn't it just a power outage? You guys are acting crazy.
Why don't you all hurry back and sit down properly!”

“Are you all not going to study? Are you guys that confident that you’ll do well in the exam? Not going to study? Then come to my office.
I happen to have time to chat with you.”

Those who had been chatting happily in the classroom also stopped talking.
They took out the homework they’d stuffed into their desks, reluctantly picked up their pens, and continued to study.

Xie Xinglin’s shoulders were pushed back hard, making him slightly step back.
The expression on his face was still very calm.

He just stared at her for a while.
Su Qiuge couldn't stand him watching her, so she said, “If you want to taste the cake, you don’t have to make up a reason.
Liking sweets is nothing to be ashamed of, I’ll share a piece with you.
But did you need to make such a big scene?”

It's not that she hadn’t thought about the other possibilities, but that she couldn't believe those could be true.
She thought she was probably just overthinking it.

It was because all of this seemed irrational and like it came out of nowhere, so the whole situation felt bizarre.

She was tempted to ask him about it, but she was afraid that she’d thought too much and she’d be laughed at by this pushy person.

Hearing this, Xie Xinglin stared at her for a while, before a slight cold curve appeared on his lips, seemingly exasperated by this brain circuit of hers.

But it was okay.

He didn’t mind if she was a little slow in this area.

He was full of patience and would wait for her to understand bit by bit.

After a while, he pulled out his chair and sat down.
He rested his chin in his hand and then faintly said, “You think I want to eat that?”

Su Qiuge: ?

She was a little confused.
“Seatmate, I think you've been acting a little strange lately…it's a bit weird.
It’s like you're speaking to me in half sentences, and I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
If you have the ability, just be straight with me.
Is there something you want? Speaking with so many twists and turns, what exactly is it that you’re trying to say, ah? Just say what you want, it’s not like I won’t give it to you.”

Seeing her talk nonsense so confidently, Xie Xinglin slightly ground his teeth.
He was quiet for a long time, but then he smiled coldly and without hesitation said, “What if I want you?”

The look in his eyes was somewhat restrained now, but it was difficult to hide his stubbornness.
He hoarsely said, “Still going to give?”

Su Qiuge slightly froze, her heart skipping a beat.
She clenched her first slightly.

After a while, she gave him a look that seemed to ask  “little brother, is there something wrong with you?”.
She tried to end this topic and very sincerely said, “Seatmate, like I said, you’ve been doing and saying some strange things recently.
I think it’s time you see a doctor.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she spread out her papers on the table, flattened the corners, and switched the topic again.

“Compared with these irrelevant things, I think you should pay more attention to the next exam.
I've been making rapid progress lately.
I was ranked third last month, are you not afraid that I’ll surpass you and get No.
1 this time? When you lose your first-place ranking, don't blame me for being too ruthless and unreasonable.”

Previously, when her grades were still really bad, Su Qiuge didn’t dare show her ambitions.

But now she felt like the gap between them wasn’t very big.
It was time to compete with this person.

This could also inspire him to study, stopping him from making people panic all day long.

Hearing this, Xie Xinglin propped his head up and looked at her.
He sized her up for a while, then raised his eyebrows slightly and said to her in a low voice, “You like the idea of being on top of me that much?”

Su Qiuge didn't realize these words had deeper meaning.
She just took his words at face value.
Just thinking of the scene where she’s first in her grade and trampled Xie Xinglin under her feet made her feel very cool and full of motivation.

So she nodded, “Of course.”
