Chapter 1503: Is This a Confession or Are You Looking to Become Sworn Siblings?

A moment later, Wang Sinian opened his mouth to speak the repression hidden deep in his heart: "I truly don't like organizing books, nor do I like staying in the library; it makes me feel... very suffocated."

Hmm, these things were about the same as what Xu Xiaoxiao had speculated.

Xu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin with her fingers and asked, "Then why do you feel suffocated?"

Regarding this point, Wang Sinian was also a bit helpless: "If I knew, would I need you to analyze it?"

This... that is also true.

Xu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "Since when did you discover that you were very repulsed by places like the library?"

"When I was in college, I suppose."

"Before that, did you go to the library often?"

Wang Sinian shook his head: "No, I only went when I was a child. Before college, I hadn't been for many years."

"Then what happened that time when you were a child?"

Wang Sinian recalled for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said: "I was too young, I don't remember."

"Is it true that you don't remember?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Xu Xiaoxiao shrugged and replied: "When I provide psychological counseling to people, I often encounter clients who lie on purpose. For various reasons, they want to protect the secrets in their hearts, not knowing that the secret is the very root of their psychological knot."

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao stared closely at Wang Sinian, wanting to find clues on his face.

And Wang Sinian just let her look, even saying: "But I really don't remember. If you don't believe me, look at my eyes, how sincere they are!"

As he spoke, Wang Sinian kept blinking his eyes.

But Xu Xiaoxiao said: "Frequent blinking is a sign of lying."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sinian stopped blinking and instead said helplessly: "Aren't you a psychology expert? Can't you tell if someone is lying just by looking at their eyes!"

"I am an expert, it's true, but I don't have mind-reading powers. How could I determine if you're lying just by looking at your eyes? However..."

Xu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then a plan came to mind: "I can use a lie detector!"

Wang Sinian did not object and even said: "Alright, go get it now!"

This guy is certainly open-minded...

Actually, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't really want to use a lie detector; she just wanted to test this guy's attitude.

Looking at it now, Wang Sinian doesn't seem to be lying.

He should truly not remember what happened back then.

But why he doesn't remember... still needs to be investigated.

Xu Xiaoxiao found her direction, and one plan of action after another emerged in her heart.

But at this moment, she felt someone waving their palm back and forth in front of her.

Xu Xiaoxiao had her attention drawn and asked: "What are you doing?"

Wang Sinian withdrew his hand and put it behind his back, reminding her: "From now on, my affairs are in your hands. And the confession, don't think you can brush it off."

A confession?

Ah, there's still that matter!!

Xu Xiaoxiao suppressed her restless emotions and said with a smile: "Why would I brush it off? A confession is just a matter of one sentence!"

"But when you confess, I will be watching from the side."

This remark seemed to step on Xu Xiaoxiao's tail, and she immediately scolded: "Don't you even think about it!"

Wang Sinian, however, had a reason he had to go: "I must go, otherwise what if you just fob me off?"

"You don't trust my character!"

"You guessed right, I just don't trust your character."

This... bastard!

With that devil-may-care attitude of his, how could he have the nerve to doubt others!?

Xu Xiaoxiao complained frantically in her heart.

But after rolling her eyes, she changed her mind and said: "Watch if you want. I am upright and honorable; even if it's a confession, I'll be open and aboveboard!"

When Xu Xiaoxiao said these words, she was full of confidence.

Wang Sinian was left speechless!

He even said: "You woman, when other people mention their sweetheart, they are at least a little shy. You? You're acting like you're about to become sworn siblings with them!"

Sworn siblings, my foot!!

I knew nothing good would come out of his mouth!!

Xu Xiaoxiao clenched her hand and warned: "Wang Sinian, I advise you to shut up, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what, beat me up? Pfft!"

Wang Sinian rolled his eyes, but the next second...

His head was flicked hard by Xu Xiaoxiao!

This woman's fingers were super strong; being flicked on the head by her, his brain felt like it was going to explode!

Wang Sinian cried out in pain: "Xu Xiaoxiao, you are not a woman! Ouch, it hurts, stop it!!"

Stop it?

That is quite unlikely!

Xu Xiaoxiao had resentment in her heart, and she vented it all right here.

And the scene of the two of them chasing each other... it was truly quite violent!

However, although this Wang Sinian is very annoying, since the agreement was made, Xu Xiaoxiao would abide by it.

In order to find the key to the problem, Xu Xiaoxiao took advantage of the time Wang Sinian was at work at the school to ask for leave and go see Elder Wang.

When he saw Xu Xiaoxiao, Old Wang was still a bit surprised: "Xiao Xiao, why have you come now?"

"I have a small matter to ask you about; I hope I haven't disturbed you by calling on you so abruptly."

"Not at all, not at all, come in quickly."

Old Wang gestured for Xu Xiaoxiao to sit down, and then said: "You've come, is it because you want to talk about Sinian?"

"As expected of Old Wang, you could see my intention at a glance!"

Old Wang smiled, then sighed melancholically: "You are already busy enough; school, seminars, they all take up so much of your time, and now, for the sake of Sinian..."

Old Wang felt bad about it.

But Xu Xiaoxiao said: "Please don't mind it at all, this is a mutual fulfillment for both of us!"

Huh?

Facing Old Wang's puzzled gaze, Xu Xiaoxiao explained: "I study psychology, and I just love studying different people. Wang Sinian is quite special, and since I've encountered him, I must study him thoroughly!"

Xu Xiaoxiao looked full of keen interest.

But Old Wang knew that this girl was only saying these things to put his mind at ease.

Sigh, she really is a kind and considerate girl.

Introducing Wang Sinian to her was truly, in Old Wang's own estimation, the most correct thing he had ever done.

Old Wang sighed inwardly, then smiled: "Then what would you like to understand by coming here today?"

Getting to the main point, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but become serious: "I've thought about it, the crux of the matter should be the library!"

"The library?"

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly: "But when I asked Wang Sinian what happened in the library when he was a child, he didn't remember, he didn't know. Do you perhaps remember a thing or two?"

Old Wang recalled carefully.

After thinking for a long time, he finally recalled some details: "When Sinian was a child, he was very mischievous. Once, he got separated from his family and was accidentally locked inside the library for an entire night."

"A whole night?"

"Yes, we were all busy with work at the time. It was the family nanny who was looking after Sinian. She discovered Sinian was missing, and fearing we would scold her, she searched for him herself, but she couldn't find him all night and only told us when it was dawn."

Xu Xiaoxiao listened carefully.

Then, based on several key pieces of information, she summarized: "In other words, that night, a young child was left all alone in a multi-story library?"

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
