Chapter 145: Lu Chi Questions Qin Xue

Lu Chi didn't expect Su Yun Jiao to be so hostile toward him.

Just a simple touch, and Su Yun Jiao already couldn't tolerate it.

Su Yun Jiao didn't mean to act that way toward Lu Chi; she simply couldn't bear letting him get close.

"I already know what you want to say, and I have nothing else to do now, so you can leave without worry."

Su Yun Jiao coldly threw down those words, then turned and went upstairs.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao had left, Liu Ma beside her couldn't help saying, "Young Master Lu, please don't come disturb Miss Su; if the master knew, he wouldn't be pleased. Let me see you out."

"No need."

Lu Chi felt a fire in his chest that he couldn't suppress; right now he really wanted to find Qin Xue and ask clearly why he had her send a message to Su Yun Jiao, which she sent and then withdrew.

Thus Lu Chi quickly left Jingyuan, speeding toward the school in his car.

At that time Qin Xue was still studying at school; through the window she saw Lu Chi outside, having parked his car at the school gate.

After seeing Lu Chi arrive at school, Qin Xue unconsciously tidied her hair.

Several classmates nearby also found it strange: why was Qin Xue like this today, even looking at a mirror while studying?

"Qin Xue, it's study time now—what are you doing?"

The teacher on the podium frowned.

Qin Xue was the worst-performing student in the class; she used to have good grades, so the teachers had high hopes for her.

But now Qin Xue's mind is entirely elsewhere, not on her studies.

This dissatisfied the other teachers.

"Sorry, teacher—I just felt my hair was a bit messy, so I tidied it."

After saying that, Qin Xue lowered her head to look at the test paper in her hand.

Hearing that, the teacher didn't intervene, but soon Lu Chi appeared at the classroom doorway.

When she saw Lu Chi, Qin Xue smoothed her hair again, looked toward him, and indeed he was looking at her.

"Lu Chi? What are you doing at school?"

Given Lu Chi's grades, he isn't on the list for this remedial class.

The teacher frowned, wondering what mischief this troublemaker Lu Chi would cause now.

Lu Chi walked straight into the classroom, grabbed Qin Xue's arm without a word, his face grim, and said, "Come with me."

The classmates stared at each other, unsure what had happened.

Just moments ago Lu Chi looked frantic, as if something had happened.

"This Lu Chi is utterly lawless! What does he think the school is?"

The teacher angrily put down the paper in hand, then went to the office to prepare to call Lu Chi's mother.

Meanwhile, Qin Xue's wrist ached from being gripped by Lu Chi.

"Lu Chi, you… what's wrong with you?"

Qin Xue still didn't know what she had done wrong.

Lu Chi had already released Qin Xue, his gaze colder than before: "I ask you, that day I had you send a message to Su Yun Jiao—what exactly did you send?"

"I… I just sent it as you told me to; I even sent you a screenshot—why don't you believe me?"

As she spoke, Qin Xue's expression turned aggrieved: "I know you misunderstood me because of past events, but I thought we had cleared things up—why are you still blaming me?"

Seeing Qin Xue still lying, Lu Chi said directly: "I checked Su Yun Jiao's phone—you never actually sent the message to her; you withdrew it the instant you sent it."

Upon hearing that, Qin Xue's face turned pale instantly.

Lu Chi coldly said: "I thought you had truly repented, never expecting you to still use such tactics, Qin Xue—I always thought you were a positive, kind, generous girl, never imagining you could be so vicious!"

"Lu Chi! Lu Chi, it's not like that—listen to my explanation!"

"There's nothing to explain! I don't want to hear you speak—from now on we have nothing to do with each other!"

Having said that, Lu Chi shoved Qin Xue away.

Qin Xue stood frozen in place, never expecting Lu Chi to say such harsh words.

Is Lu Chi trying to cut ties with me?

Why?

Qin Xue stayed where she was, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Meanwhile, the other classmates in the classroom, seeing the teacher leave, all poked their heads out to watch the commotion.

Everyone had just heard Lu Chi's words, never imagining Qin Xue could be such a person.

"I've long heard that she once deliberately made Zhou Tingting tumble down the stairs—I didn't believe it before, but now it seems true."

"She's nothing but a scheming white lotus, willing to do anything for Lu Chi."

"Wasn't she supposed to be the class belle of Yi Ban? I don't see her as that pretty—indeed, jealousy makes one ugly."

……

The surrounding noises all drilled into Qin Xue's ears.

Qin Xue suddenly felt utterly ashamed.

And at that moment.

Lu Chi walked to the base of the teaching building and directly deleted all of Qin Xue's contact information.

He firmly had no intention of further contact with Qin Xue.

Meanwhile Qin Xue also caught up downstairs, ran up to Lu Chi, and said, "Lu Chi! I know you can't understand what I've done, but I have my own difficulties—please don't be angry, okay?"

"Difficulties? What difficulties? Don't you know Su Yun Jiao almost came to harm? Don't you know that because of your message, Su Yun Jiao might have died? This is a matter of life and death—how can you be vague about it?"

Lu Chi had always thought Qin Xue was a sensible person, but now it seems she is not!

On the contrary, what Qin Xue has done is not something a girl her age would do.

Lu Chi, I really didn't mean to deceive you, but I… I really can't just stand by and watch you like someone else.

Qin Xue suddenly grabbed Lu Chi's arm and burst into tears, saying: "I always thought you liked me, but lately, your attitude toward Su Yun Jiao has really made me suspicious… Do you still remember? You previously promised me many things, saying you'd take me out to play during the winter break—I remember all of them! If you don't like me, how could you possibly have wanted to take me out to play? Between us, we've just not pierced that layer of window paper, right?"

They had been ambiguous for a long time; Qin Xue herself thought Lu Chi liked her.

Actually, Lu Chi merely had a fondness for Qin Xue.

It wasn't really about being together with Qin Xue.

Lu Chi listened to Qin Xue's words, and his tone turned cold as well: "Those were just offhand remarks; I've long forgotten them, and besides, after what happened today… I could never possibly like you."
